Vow Garibaldi rces on conque1mg and to con
v.er the details of his glorious triumpha progress
from the beach of Marsha to the streets Of Pa
,e,mo-aI this you will better learn from other
than Partisan sources And yet j must write Of
Gsribaldi and Sicily, just because am your Paris
correspondents For the insurrecton and its he
roic leader arc the absorbing topics Of thought and
speech with all parties in Paris. They arc the
Representatives of an essential cause and contest
of which they are themselves but accidental sam
pie ends. ought to be very serious over this
matter; there is terribly tragic side to it. But
cannot help laughing, tboSgh l ought to cry, to
see and hear and read what the reactioniss do say
and write about the victories Of Garibaldi, or
rather the victories Of the cause of which he ia for
the time the representative leader. Look ut
them, hear them, read them, and laugh with me-
If 30 be you can get the better of your indignation.
One week ago this very day-thc panc-stricken
troops of Gen. Lands brigade hardly got to tenn
porary safe shelter within the gates Of Palermo,
after their defeat at Calata Fimi-Government Off
Gals solemnly proclaimed at the Bourse OF Naples,
at the hour OF high change, that Garbaldi had just
cut his throat, in mad despair at the defeat of his
men and of oil his rebellious hopes. Ony three
days ago, the Neapolitan Legation here in Paris
madly persisted in telling the world that the Sell
ian instruction was all The insanity of
these Neapolsn official falsehOods surpasses even
their absurdty; it would really seem that these
folks would persuade, and up to the last moment
have persuaded themselves that persistent men
dacity would by some miraculous aid, stiilen inte
practical veracty L grant that the theory is a
queer one; butnO other offers an explanation OF the
astonishingly queer practice OF the Neapoitan
Court You will please understand that tie Nes-
poIitan Court, speaking through the official journal
and official Geographic reports, has never acknowl
edged-unless within the last three days or sothat
the instruction going on in Sicily. The near
est approach to truth they ever made was an ac-
Acknowledgement that there had been an instruction
in the island, coupled with positive announcement
of its final suppression The successive explicit de-
mails and implied admissions of the official Neapol-
tan reports of the progress of the Siciian national
movement are only and strictly comparable for log
cal sequence to the argument OF the counsel for The
defense III the famous kettle case /. My client
never borrowed the kettle; 2. The kettle never was
cracked; 3. The kettle was cracked before IT was
borrowed.
1t is amusing or saddening quite according to
ones mood (mine is accidentally qualified by
highly cheerful breakfast) to hear the Legitimists
and UltTamontanes talk OF read what they write III
these days. Even they have ceased to put the
slightest faith in official NeapOitan reports, and an
ticpate defeat in every official shout OF victory.
The wofully funny phase of their department in
present irving circumstances, will be better Illus
trated in paragraph instance than in hafa column
of general reasoning and synthetic statement. In
the Monde (the continuation of the Unirers) of yes
terday you may read, with your nlneteenth-century
eyes wide agape, this paragraph, in letter dated
Rene, May ~:
"The moment of God is at hand New facts are daily
noted which to he regarded the warning signs ola
more general ehasiisemen The number Of the victims
OF apoplexy and sudden insanity, whether or not these
maladiee be provoked by the agitation OF worldly pas
only few days ago that the people were strongly I'M
preesed by the death of impious person, who en-
tered cafe and ordered glass Of brandy, saying
| Hardly had this wretch swallowed at one gul2 the

| Can blasphemOus nonsense 60 further
| There is, however, sort of logical method in
such madness as this, when uttered by Legtimsts
| and Ultramoniane Romanists. | am sorry, almost
ashamed, to gay that the Orleanist faction carried

| ness toward Garibadi more contemplate, because
less frankly expressed, than the sincere blind hate
of the Legitimists 1t is noticeable fact that the
| best-inioImed, most heartily sympathizing Paris
| organ of the Sicilan instruction is the Opinion
Nation0lea journal which prejudice, jealousy, and
ignC rance love to accuse OF completely with the I'M
| perial Government l could wish their stupid ac-
| cusatons were based on truth. If the. Opinion
| Rationale could really be considered an exponent
| of the purposes of Louis Napoleon. then WERE the
| immediate success Of Garibadi and of the great
cause of Italian nationality thoroughly assured.
Putting newspapers aside, there is good reason
for believing that, jusqa nOaret ordre, there win
be no Intervention on the part of France or En-
gland and no intervention permitted by those two
on the part Of Austria, in the affairs Of Italy. So
far, so good. The longer the Italians are LET alone,
the sooner they will bring the Italian question TO a
solution. Unhappily, it can hardly be hoped that
Sicily will be suffered to pronounce, aud Sardinia
to approve its own Judgment on its own destiny.
Runor runs that, by late secret treaty, France
guarantees the Ducbies TO Piedmont. | make small
account of the rumOr Treaty or no treaty, Cayour
has so arranged and taken advantage of facts that
France has become and must remain the accom-
plice of Piedmont. / risk my small propnetcal
reputation on the modest vatclnation that Louis
Napoleon must stand by and uiU stand by Victor
Emanuel, whenever Austria threatens or Naples
threatens.
You have a correspondent in Turin; 80 prefer
