 Garibaldi.
 Our foreign files, says the Boston States man. attest the deep, prevailing interest that fills the European world as to the plans of the Sicilian Washington; and the lead. ing question in all political circles is, what are the ultimate intentions of the leader and his party. He is now on the continent with a brave and triumphant force. He is at Naples? Will he stop here? If Naples be added to Sardinia, there will be consti- tutionaism in twenty of the twentv-six millions of the population of Italy; about seventeen millions in couple Of years will have exchanged the rule of absolutism for the benefits of liberal government. That IS result of itself that would give glory to an age.
 There is nothing in modern times like thcsprogress of Garibaldi. At first, Louis Napoleon hated him-but as things have turned beyond even the power of the French Emperor to control, it Is doubtful whether he docs not fear him. He is sketchcd in the London Times:
 H From the subordinate position ofa par tlSan leader, clearing the front of the French and beating up the quarters of the Aus. trans, he has raised himself by his gallant " and enterprise to i position in which he may lalrly be ranked among those inllu- ences which dispose of the destiny of that country which he has loved so well and served so truly. He is lettered by no trea~ ty obligations, by no dynasiic traditions The nature of his position relieves him from the necessity of following anything except the dictates of his own judgment and the suggestions of his own genius. Kings and Emperors are small indeed beSi le a man who, with nothing to rely on but his name, hiS intelligence, and his courage, has found means to raise himself to position which places in his hands as we can easily show. the future destines of Italy"
 This is not overStlaincd; it is the most wonderful personal fact of this age.
 Garibaldi, thus towering above Kings and Emperors, and real embodiment of ehe democratic principle in Europe, keeps his own counsels. This may be said of him, that his plans, so far, have been em- nently practical, and his every step sure.- That he hopes 10 reach Vcnctia by the way of Naples, is certain that he will think, in view of the position of the great powers. it will he favorable for him to attempt this is not so certain. There is a wide difference between Naples and Venice; the former cx. clusively ltalian-the latter considered half German. How far Prussia and Austria are united to defenl this German soil, no one knows; but the well informed assert positively that while it is most probable Austria will look quietly on and see Napes regenerated, she would not see quietly Vc- netla wrested from her grasp Commer- cial reasons would Lot weigh feather in the scale, If she has the pledge of all Ger many to defend Venetia, on the pretext of fighting for the Rhine or the Mincio. On this point the speculation is widely differ ent. A well infomed British journal says that " the crafty but foolish German Princes, with Prussia at their head, bid fair to be accompices ot Austria in her evil designs, and Englishmcn cannot declare too strongly'that they will not permit the French alliance to be broken for the balance of power through the Kaiscr.''
 The London Times sees clear pathway for Garibaldi over the ruins of Neapolitan absolutism, but secs peril in an attempt on Venetia, where absolutisin is even more atrocious than it is in Naples, and the de- mocratlc element more restive The Times says of liberation in Naples:
 "These things Garibaldi may do in all probability without drawing upon himself the armed interference of France or Ans trla. Let him draw the line here and he may reasonably hope to leave to posteritv name that will rank with Epaminondas or Aratus in ancient, with Tell or Wash lngton Tn modern story. Let him go be- yond thls, and he will be brought at once into collision with the resources. the dis eIpllne and the valor of an army, before which hls " and tumut ry forces will vanish like an exhalation. The stake is equal. If Austria is to set Venetia on one side, and Garibaldi all the rest of Italy on the other, success would add sometbine to hrs laurels, but failure would be absolute destruction. Unless Garibaldi shall he able to storm those formidable fortresses before which the Emperor of the French at the head of his victorious legions recoiled ne will find himself, even if assisted openly and with all his force by the King of Pied mont, driven gradually back, stripped of town at's1town and province after province tll nothing be left of lha-eraai- ot Italian liberty except the glory of its rise and the disgrace of it's extinction"
 The letters daily received from Italy show to what a pitch Garibaldi's prestige and successes have excited the national mind. A letter from Turin in the Copsti- tutioual gives some account of the popular delirium. The following is an extract:
 " Facts so strange are occurring here that | sheuld hesitate to believe them had l Ret witnessed them with my own eyes Young men belonging to the richest and nobest families abandon their homes ol their own accord. They disappear one fine morning without saving word to their re- latives, and at night their anxious families. 1 tHFt.. {
