does not wish such solution OF the Italian problem,

Still, he trusts much to the universal complication

Imperial policy before Yeneta is secured. Accord

of Italy. In order not to embarTass the |

haste. The embarkation took place in a very tu-
mutuOus way. One of the steamers was over
crowded, and the arms and ammunition were not
properly divided Garibaldi, therefore hugging the
coast, steamed first 10 Orbitelo, the extreme sea-
port Of Tuscany, and landed there to complete his

Since that time we have not heard anything

this did not belong to his department. When
Cavour returned he told Canofari that the Govern
