um, ,.hant!y received there, render i,
probable that an insurrec.ion in tn,
streets of that city, which the flight o
the King rendered unnecessary, was .
part of the plan.
The landing in the Papal States, as is
already known was prevented partly by
Victor Emanuels representations, partly
aud principally by GAribald,'s conv.uc
ing himself that these men were not in
fit state to undertake an independen,
campaign. He accordingly took them to
Sicily, left part at Palermo, sent the re-
mainder round the island in two steamers
to Taormna, where we shall find them
again presently. In the meantime the
Neapolitan movements in the provincial
towns took place as agreed upon and in
manner which showed both how well
the revolutionary party was organized,
and how much the country was ripe for
an outbreak On the 18th of August,
the insurrection broke out at Foggia, in
Apula. The dragons, forcing the gar,
rison of the town, joined the people --
General Flores, commanding the district,
sent two companies of the 18th regiment
who, on arrival did likewise. Then did
General Flores come himself, accompa-
MED by his staff; but he could do moth
ing and had to leave again. This pro-
ceeding clearly shows that Flores himself
did not wish to offer serious resistance to
the revolutionary party. Had he been
IN earnest he would have sent two battal-
ions instead of two companies, aud when
he came himself, would have come at the
head of as strong a force as he could
muster, instead Of coming with few
adJutants and orderlies. In fact, the cir.
cumstancc alone that the Insurgents al,
lowed him to leave the town again is
sufficient to show that there was at least
, some tacit understanding. Another
movement broke out in the province of
Basilicata Here the insurgents collect
ed their forces at Caretto Perticara. a
village on the River Lagni, (this must
be the place called Corleto by the telc.
grams.)
From this mountainous and remote
district they marched to Potcnza, the
chief town Of the Province, where they
arrived, 5000 strong, on the 18th. The
only resistance they found, was offered
by about 400 gcndarincs, who, after Il
short engagement, were dispersed, and
afterwards came in one bv one to sur
render. A provincial government was
formed in the name of Garibaldi, and Il
protictator installed. 1t is reported that
the Royal Intcndante governor of the
province) accepts this officc-another
sign how hopeless the cause of the Bour.
bons is considered to be even by their
own organs. Four companies of the 9th
Regiment OF the line We're sent from
Salerne to put down this insurrection,
but when they came to Auletta, about %
miles from Potenza, they refused to
march further, ,aud cried l'iira CartJalai.
There are the on y movements of which
any details have reached us. But we are
further informed that other places have
joined the instruction for instance.
Avellno, town not thirty miles from
Naples Compobasso, in the province of
Mollse Con the Adratic), and Caenza in
ApuIia, for this must be the place called
Cilenta in the telegrams it is situated
about halfway between Campobasso and
Foggia. and now Naples itself is added
to the number. While thus the Neapo-
itan provincial towns at least carried out
their apportioned share of the work, Gar
ibaldi was not idle. Scarcely returned
FROM his trip to Sardinia, he made his
final arrangements for crossing over to
the continent. His army now consisted
Of three divisions, commanded by Turr,
Cosenz, and Medici. The two latter,
concentrated about the Messua and the
Faro, were marched toward the northern
coast of Sicily, between Milazzo and
Faro, as if they were intended to embark
there and land Oh the Calabrian coast,
north of the straits, somewhere about
Palmi or Nictara. OF Tiirr's division,
the brigade Eber was encampcd near
Messina, the brigade B,xio had been sent
to the interior, to Bronte, to repress
some disorders Both were at once or
dered to Taormina, where, on the even
ing of the 18th of August, the brigade
Bixio, along with the men brought from
Sardinia, embarked on the two steamers,
the Tariuo aud Franklin, and some on
transports taken in tow.
About ten days previous, Major Mis-
sori, with 300 men, had crossed the
Straits, and passed safely through the
Neapolitans, to the high and broken
ground of Aspromonte. Here he was
joined by other small bodies, thrown
across the Straits from time to time, and
by Calabrian insurgents, so that by this
time he commanded body of about
1000 men. The Neapoltans had sent
about 500 men after his little band had
landed, but these 800 heroes managed
so as never to come up with the Carl
baldans.
On the 10Th, at daybreak, Garibald's
expedition (for he was on board himself)
landed between Melita and Cape Sparti-
vento, on the extreme southern end Of
Calabria.
They found no resistance. The Nea-
politans had been so completely deceived
by the movements threatening a landing
north Of the Straits, that the country the
south Of them was completely neglected
by them Thus 5000 men were thrown
across, beside the 1000 got together by
Missori.
