The ste,lian rroxement. !

of May IS, has the following particulars Of the
landing at MARSHA, from private letter:
While on shore to-day, about half.past q or 8 in
the afternoon, we entered cafe. In few minutes
several fellows entered-some in red, others in
plain clothes, all armed with muskets and bayou
cts. Every one around seemed favorable TO them.
We at once asked what was the matter and were
told that it was case of " Tiua H6tia'i aud Carl
baldi had landed. We Immediately took walk
round the town, and found the soldiers {patrfots)
had possession. We wanted to go out towards the
country, but the officer in command a fine looking
fellow told us we could not pass without an order
from Gen. Garibaldi. We therefore returned to
the mole tor the purpose of getting on board, and
met more soldiers coming in. At the mole gate we
were again stopped, and there detained until pass
from the General was procured for us. On this
mole we met fresh troops, who had disembarked,
with arms, ammunition, etc. We were informed
that some 1000 had been thrown into the town, and
that more would soon follow; TIM only thing they
wishedfor being that they might meet the Neapoli-
tans. They all appeared fine, athletic fellows Just

They landed from two steamers close under the
noses Of the Neapohtans, who, with two steamers
and sailing frgate, had been constantly watching
the coast. The smallest of these vessels could
easily have prevented the landing but she was too
cautious to attempt it. After the soldiers, however,
were safe on shore the Neapolitans closed in and
fired on the town. or rather at few stragglers on
the mole--a mere waste OF powder, for many Of
firma merely ploughed mp the earth that the enemy
had passed over. There is no doubt whatever
but that of Garibadis vessels particularly the
rearmost could have been cut off, but no. they
were afraid to try it on After these had been
abandoned by the Italians, they were taken pos.
session Of at $50 P. NJ, by the Neapotans, who,
however, displayed much hesitation, evidently
deeming discretion the better part Of valor.,' At
this moment, as we are in the act of leaving for
Malta, a steamer and frisate, are opening on the
town. but the fire receives no return. Whether
they have artillery or not we are unable to state.
We can only remark that we saw none. The peo-
pie in the town received Garibaldi and his follow
ers with open arms, appearing as il they had been
long expecting them. AT the time of the Gem
erals arrival there were no Neapolitan troops in
the town. Owing to the shallowness of the water
their large ships could not approach.
The London Times, of the 14th inst. has the fol-
lowing particulars of the landing of General Carl
baldi from letter of one of the leaders of the
expedition:

take advantage of a brief respite to drop you
line respecting our movements. As we were
obliged to embark ut night, and hastily we were
in want of many things ~ most urgent necessity,
and were obliged to land here to lay in provisions
from the villages near this Fort. We had rough
passage and suffered q good DEAL but are by no
means dispirited, and we soon hope to see the.
shores of Sicily, and to land to the cry of United
Italy forever?h and to fight for its freedom. The
General has not suffered at all. and envied him
as he, turn about gave his orders as captain, and
then acted as steersuan himself.
The Genoa correspondent of the London News,
writing under the date of May Is, says:
Before leaving Genoa, Garibaldi wrote to Victor
Emanuel most touching letter. A friend of mine,
who is one of the most enthusiastic admirers of the
General, has been able to procure genuine copy
OF this important document The letter, which
translate, runs of follows:
Sn e-The cry Of help which reaches me from
Sicily has touched my heart and the hearts of
some hundreds OF my old soldiers. / have not adj

brethren, but as they have risen in the name of the
