IAMORICIERE.

Garbal5i. the hero Of modern Italy, and the
rival. in brilliant deeds and noble nature, OF all
the heroes of the past finds his foil aud contrast in
Lamorciere. TIE brief but remarkable military ca
reer of the Algerian general is well known. When
Louis Philippe was expelled from France, Lamori-
cIere became a staunch supporter OF the French
Republic, ard as such was sent into exile by Louis
Napoleon, after the coup d'6tat of the "a OF De-
cenbsr But exile has wrought sad work upon
the proud and ambitious general for pride, unsat
isGed ambition, ard envy seem to have DESTROYED
all the generous impulses of his youth. The
Crimean and Italian campaigns threw new glory
upon the French arms, and surrounded with
brilliant renown the names of men who in Algeria
were Lamoriciere's interiors in rank and repute,
while he was sinking gradually into oblivion. 1t
was then that he entered into the service of the
Pope, and smothered in his bosom the last, ioger-
il o sparks of honor. The names Of other hireling
chiefs of hirtliDg bands Of those who fought without
faith and without convictions, for pay in the ex-
pirrg Republics of Ancient Greece of those Of the
infamous Italian cOndoitieri, and even of the
Buccaneers, are honorable compared with that
reckless or cruel they may have been, history finds
some justification for their deeds in the social or
political condition Of the age in which they lived;
but there is no excuse of this sort to pallae the
conduct Of this modern traitor to public justice and
to private honor. He was ambitious of fame and
has earned ihfsmy.

he believed he could hold Ancona " long enough to
" see the Sardinians lose Alessandria." But in
this expectation he will prove, we trust, as much
mistaken az in his dreams of victory at the head of
his army of vogabOnds.
Austria does not move to the rescue, and no
new Holy Alliance will be formed to sustain in
Rome and in Naples the despOtic rule to which
they have been so long subjected. We stated a

not follow him except it be to defend their own

Prussia is not poor, but neither is she rich. Her
only resources are in her industry and strict
economy, and these must be destroyed by war.
The Prussians, moreover, are a calculating and
a sober people, and will not be intoxicated or be
carried away by the cries of either crowned or un-
crowned leaders.

such rapid succession as to battle all the cal

whatever difficulties may seem for the moment to
beset her complete emancipation, defes to-day all
prophecy as TO her future. But every honest
heart, ard every sound miHd, must bless all that
has been thus far accom- pished by Garibsldi and
ardently hope for the best. And whatever her
future may be, one thing ia certain: that no name
will be go deeply and so deservedly dshonored as
that of Lamoricicre.
