innocence. MS ueclaratlon OF WbT against
Sardinia for ceding away the Italian Prov
inces, has been suspended, and he has con-
cluded to restrain his impatience for an i'm
mediate war on Louis Napoleon for their re-
covery. And inasmuch as it is not worth
while to stick for trihes when so generous
at wholesale, he has suspended his intention
of levying an italian army and marching
directly on the quadrilateral fortresses, and
liberating Venetia He has even concluded
to postpone his promised proclamation Of
the italian Kingdom from Rome-till he gets
there. And as he has received a severe check
from the Neapolitan Royal troops, it posi-
bic that the $4,000 French troops in Rome
will not be annihilated Immediately; though,
if the 10000 royal troops would stand out
out of his way, he would make short work
of the French.
Shorn of these brilliant parts, the Carl
baldi performance has become tame and dull
he has been brought to full stop by the
royal troops, and there is talk that they may
recapture Naples, a thing said to be easy, as
it has neither soldiers nor Government.
Garibaldi is much disgusted at the collapse
of his splendid schemes. Now he talks of
annexation to Sardinia as the only thing.
A few days ago the Mazzini Republicans
were predominant in his councils Talk of
annexation was high treason. Philippe Cor
doVa, reputed to be one of the most honor
able Of the Sicilian patriots, who at the rev.
olution of Sicily was taken into the coun-
ellis Of Garibaldi, and afterward invited by
him to Naples to take part in the Govern
ment there, for adhering to his original
opinions in favor of annexation to Sardinia,
received the following order from Bertani,
one of the Mazzini faction, and Secretary to
Garibaldi: ....
"By order of the Dictator, you shall leave
the Kingdom of Naples within twenty-four
hours of this present decree.
This is Ttalian liberty" Now another
revolution has taken place. Garlbaldi has
banished Bertani, and issued proclamation
in which he welcomes the Sandman troops
to Neapolitan territory, as follows:
"The valiant soldiers of the Northern army
have crossed the frontier, and are on the
Neapolitan Territory. We shall soon have
hands. hG. GARIBALDI."
Now, the liberator of nationalities, who
was just going to dictate terms to all Europe
and ordain new Babel, to reconstruct the
map according to language and race, de-
Ecends from the clouds and takes the part of
q mere scene~shifter for Victor Emmanuel.
To US irreverent Republicans, the query
naturally occurs why Sardinia should invade
Naples. The country is revolutionized, or at
least Garibaldi proclaims his ability not only
to finish that job, but to do the business for
all Europe. The next step, according to our
ideas, would be for the Neapolitans to estab-
lish democratic government to suit them.
Why should they be disturbed by foreign
invasion, just at this time? They require no
assistance to get rid of their old government
and a foreign invasion is not the most favor
able circumstance for forming free govern
ment.
But the army Of Sardinia brings the right
of suffrage to the Neapolitans. The Sar-
diniAn Parliament has passed an act permit
ting any Roman or other italian Province to
annex itself to Sardinia by universal suf-
frage; when she will undoubtedly take good
care that they never exercise that right
again. A foreign invasion, bringing the
right of suffrage to people who have just
recovered their own hbertyi Really these
plays of italian liberty are entertaining. 1t
is very much as if John Bull should march
into Ohio, take possession of our public
property and government, and then offer US
the right to vote for annexation to Canada.
The French garrison at Rome has been in
creased to $4,000 men. The Pope is in. a
charming state of uncertainty about the in
tentions of Louis Napoleon, but is wise
enough not to put any confidence in him.
With all the rest of the world, he seems to be-
Heve that Louis Napoleon is the wire-worker
of the whole affair. Universal suffrage, too,
was Louis Napoleon's invention. It is the
trap to be sprung when the game is properly
baited.
A new Ministry has been chosen at Naples
Those luxuries have become ordinary neces.
sities under Garibaldi. The Dictator still
insists on his charming way of issuing de-
crees without consulting his ministers, and
often in antagonism to them. The Ministers
followed suit and acted independently o.
each other. Bertani, the Secretary, also
acted on his own hook, and there was lib
erty in the executive, if nowhere else in
Naples. Another luxury of revolution
paper-moneJ-is being enjoyed liberally
Three hundred thousand dueats, in treasury
bonds, had just been issued at the last ad
vices. II will be remembered that the great
est burden on the Pope, and the one which
causes him great distress at this time, is the
interest ON the paper-money issues of the
Mazzini-G -Garibaldi Administration at ROM
in le48. .---.-. ..r r.l..-.
As we have said, the Mazzini Republican
were dominant in the last ministry, and il
Garibaldi's councils Mazzini was the major
dOmO. The banished Republicans from tbei
exile in the four quarters Of the glObe-Ledr
Rollin, Victor Hugo, Kossuth, and the as
sassin Rudio, and others of the blood-re
hue, put their oars into the counsels @
Garibaldi, though none of the prominen
ones left their exile Except N azzini and som
of his associates. Now these have beel
saubbed, to their infinite disgust. They re
