was received by the authorities, and con-

storm of shouts and applause. This was
in the cathedral church of St. Januarius,
the special protector of the Bourbons.

the treasury and the chapel of San Januarius,

it was to be visited, but who can imagine
either of those men bowling down in reverence
before this chemical humbug?
As soon as the ceremony was over they

General OF Division and Garibaldi in the same
simple dress in which he had conquered the
Two S!cilies and given away kingdom.
On the same day, the King issued the
following proclamation:
Tothe Neapoiitaa and S,ciiian Peopie:
The results OF the vote by universal suffrag
give me the sovereign power over these noble
provinces. i accept this new award Of the
national will, moved not by any monarchic
ambition, but by conscientious feelings as an
Italian. The duties OF ali Italians are augmen-
ted. Sincere concord and constant selfdenial
are more than ever necessary. All parties
must bow before the majesty of the Italian
nation. which God uplifts. We must here in

rectitude to public opinion. put my reliance
on the ethcaciOus co operation of all honest

strengthened by freedom, the government has
as much influence on the public welfare as the
people excel by public and private virtues.
We must show Europe that if the irresistible

Italy was for centuries afflicted. we know how

VICTOR EMANUEL.
GARIBALDI, as has already been stated,
has returDed to bis home on the island OF
Capraja. This is small volcanic island OF
the Mediterranean, near the coast of Tus-
cany, with a population of about $500.
Previous to leaving Naples, GAR1BALD1
issued the following farewell address:
NAPLES, Sunday, Nov Q, 1860.
To MY COMPANIONS IN A. MS: We must now
consider the period which is just finishing as the
last stage but one in our national Instruction,
and prepare ourselves to finish worthily the
marvellous design of the elect of twenty gener.
ations, the completion of which Providence has
reserved for this fortunate age of yours. Yes
young men, italy owes to you an undertaking
which has been marked by the applause of the
universe. To this wonderful account in your
country s history, and the more glorious still,
will be added, and the slave shall show at last
to his free brethren sharpened sword forged
from the links of his letters. To arms, then,
all of you, and the OppressOrs and the mighty
will disappear like dust.
You, too, women, cast away all towards from
your arms. that will only give you towards for

land of duty, must have children who are noble
and brave. Let timid doctrines be cast out
from amongst us. Providence has presented
Italy with Victor Emanuel, and by the side of
Victor Emanuel every quarrel should be forgot.

Once more Irepeat my .cry--"To arms,
all of you" If March, 1861, does not find mil.
lion of Italians in arms, then alas for Liberty |!
alas for Italy! Let the March of 1861, or, if
necessary, of February, find US all at our posts.
Italians of Calatatorni, Palermo, VOlturno,
Ancona, Castlefdardo and Iserni, every man of
this land who is not q coward or slave, is on
our side. All of US, all of US, say, standing
round the glorious hero of Palestine, will strike
the last blow at the crumbing edifce of tyran-
ny. Receive, Volunteers, the hOnOred conquer
ors of battles, one word of farewell from me
to-day | am obliged to retire. but is for a few
days only, The hour of battle will find me
with you again. Let those only return to their
homes who are called by the imperative duties
of their families, and those who by their wounds
have deserved the gratitude of their country.
Those will serve Italy in their homes by their
counsels and the very aspect: of their wounds.
Apart from these, let all others remain to guard
our glorious banners
We shall meet ere long, again to march to-
gether for the redemption of our brethren who
are still the slaves OF the stranger.
We shall meet again, ere long, and march
together to new triumphs.
-GARIBALDI is catholic in bis religious
views. 1t is known that in most of the
catholic countries of Southern Europe, and
particularly in Spain and Naples, there is
no liberation of any worship outside that of
the Church of Rome. A few days before
VICTOR EMANUEL entered Naples, the Eu>
g!sh community there sent a memorial to
GAR1BALD1, praying him to grant them per-
mission to purchase site, in that city, for
a Protestant church. GARIBALDI's reply
ran thus:
Grateful for the efficacious and generous sym.
patty of the English, the Dictator thinks that
this is very small return to make for so many
services received from them in support of the
noble cause of the Italians. Not only is per.
mission granted to erect a church within the
limits of the capital to persons who worship
the same God as the Italians, but the English
are requested to accept, as national gift, the
small spot of ground required for the proposed
project for which they desire to use it.
