The News from Europe-La nding OF Cart
baldt in Calabria-The Revolt In Ar
aenias
The America and Prince Albert bring the
news of Garibaldis landing in Calabria and Of
the capture Of Reggie by the volunteers under
his personal direction, thus inauguratiug the
campaign on the mainland. That the place was
only taken after some hard fighting shows that
the liberator will not have quite so easy con-
quest a. the newspaper correspondents would
have us believe. 1t was said that he had only
to present himself in Calsbria for the whole
country, the Kings troops included, to declare
inl his favor. The news by these steamers only
partially confirms this statement; and the pro-
liabilities are that he will have to fight his way
TO Naples, and that when he arrives there he
will have some difficulty In making himself
master Of the city. We shall see.
1t should not be forgotten that there is
middle party in Naples, which, though 1t Il
opposed to absolutism, is not yet prepared to
accept solution of the political embarrass-
ments = the country at Garibaldis hands.
The present ministry, If not the representatives
of this party, seem, at all events, to be acting
with 1t, for they have endeavored by their
measures to reconcile the King with his peo-
ple. OF course no one believes that they viii
succeed in their efforts. The conduct pur-
sued by the reigning dynasty for the
last forty years and more has left
5n the popular mind too deeply founded cod
viction of their faithlessness and treachery for
"a oy xrya;r fot
sent But it is not the less fact that in the at
tempt to carry out their ideas the constitutional
party have thrown serious obstacles in the way
Of the revolution. 1t is to their interference
that the defeat of the various efforts made to in
itiate the movement in the capital is owing
The King would have long since abandoned the
capital but for the hopes inspired by these coun-
sellers. There 10 no doubt that the majority of
them are actuated by honorable and patriotic
motives, and that they believe that the only
way of preserving the political independence of
their country is by persevering In their present
course. If they are blind to the fact thai there
is no probability Of their stemming the tide
which is about to engulf them and the interests
with which they are allied, we must set it down
to the strength Of their prejudices, and not to
their desire to protract q useless struggle. But
it is this very faulty on their part that will rem
der the march Of the revolution less rapid than
in Sicily. No one, Of course, entertains doubt
of its ultimate success. We only point out
these facts to account for obstacles which have
been overlooked In the sanguine anticipations
of those who believe in the magic of Garibaldi's
name.
Whilst thus in Naples the cause Of human
freedom and of popular government is making
steady progress, ut almost every other point TO
which we direct our view We observe similar
cheering indications. Japan and China are on
the eve Of being opened to Western civilization
and commerce; in Syria, the Introduction Of Q
French army paves the way for similar results;
whilst in the Armenian provinces, we learn by
recent adviccs that the Gag of revolt has BEEN
raised, and that council Of government has
been elected, being the first that has been
chosen there for several centuries. These
events are only the precursors Of the great
changes that are impending over the whole Of
the Ottoman empire, and which, II they do not

confident that every step that brings
him nearer to Naples will abridge the
term Of her own sufferings. In initiating
the volunteer system Of the United States, and
thus strengthening her national defences, Eng.
land has hcnceforth subjected TO the Will Of the
masses the aristocratic element which has here
tofore opposed 90 many obstacles to the extern
sion of the popular liberties. II was but the
necessary corollary Of such measure that shs
should send the Prince Of Wales here to study
this country institutions to which she 70 20

be no greater evidence OF the progress that
liberalism is making amongst the governing
classes In Europe than the democratic senti-
menb TO which his juvenile Highness recently
gave expression in a speech 10 the workmen
at the opening OF the Victoria Bridge In
Montreal. II was Q marked improvement
upon the sristocratic plstitudes Of the "arst

Although II must be owned that she has not
been much in the habit q acting upon this
principle, We accept the sentiment from the
mouth Of her future sovereign - an earnest Of
her intentions. At Al events, declaration OF
this kind, coming from such Q quarter, cannot
fall to impsrt an impulse TO the progress Of
liberal ideas all over the world. Thus other
nationalitics are gradually being brought
within the influence Of the theories which have
rendered the people Of this country The hap
