THE NEWS FROM EUROPE


mary of her news gives some new particulars
Tie Vienna correspondent of the London
| Times says, the opinion there is that Sicily is
lost to the Bourbons there is questionable
rumor that the emperor of the French is said
to be dissatisfied with Sardinia,-he complains
that that government had taken advantage OF
the period previous to the ratification of the
treaty, and sold the crown lands, which should
have reverted to France and a Florence letter
states that the party in favor of the restoration
of the Grand Duke are employed, engaged in
agitating his cause in that city
There is a general fermentation in Europe,
and the signs portend disturbance But the
leading and most exciting topic of the moment
is Garibaldi's expedition to Sicily. At first
the Neapolitan bulletins beat, routed, crushed
annihilated him; the true report shows him
victorious, and on the eve of becoming master
OF all Sicily. Popular feeling all over Europe
appears to be on his side. Two English men
of-war were at Marsha, when he landed there.
They had come down from Palermo, followed
by two Neapoltan war vessels, which went on
beyond that place One of the English officers
gives the following acc ount of Garibaldi's
landing -
cat about 10 A. NJ. on Friday the 1lth, we
anchored off Marsha. The two NeapoIitans
continued their journey. They had barely
got out of sight when two other steamers
were seen coming straight in from seward at
full speed. They hoistSd Sandman coors,
and as they passed close to our stern, it was
impossible to mistake who or hat they were.
On the deck of the foremost were but few
men; those visible were nearly all dressed in
red flannel blouses. On the bridge with the
captain or pilot was an officer in red blouse,
similar to the rest, and distinguished by
feather in his cap. This we conjectured to be
Garibaldi. The other and larger vessel, how
ever, was literally orammed with men, like
behring's in a cask. Both steamers made di.
rect for the mole, the smaller one getting in
all right, and the other grounding about hun.
dred yards short of the mole-head. They
commenced to land from the inner one imme-
| diately, and, so far from there being only
| few on board, it was really surprising where
they could have been all slowed. The first
! parties who landed proceeded in small num-
bers up the town Not the least opposition
| was offered, except that the health offices came

in front, and ordered to walk straight to the
semaphore. In about ten minutes it ceased
from It's labors. In the meantime the smaller
| steamer had been cleared of men, stores guns
and ammunition, There appeared some delay
| in getting boats to disembark the people from
the steamer aground, bat at length they arrived
in any numbers and OF all sizes, the men de.

affair became very exciting the Neapolitans
had evidently caught sight of them, and
were returning. The trigate, too, was coming
down with every sail set, right before beau.

to see the cool and steady way in which the
insurgents got into the boats to be padded to
the shore. But now the steamers are drawing
well within range, and still there are hundreds

watched that bow gun Of hers Why doesn't
she fire But no, she backs and fills, now
ahead, now astern, signaling all the time to the

seen; they are all down, the storm passes
over and up they are again, marching as or

pressed into the service, and as they carry the
things along the mole and up the road to the
town gate, they are often smothered in dust
from rcochet shot, but believe throughout

The Whole scene was one of intense excite
ment; it was one of those dashing, brilliant
affairs that only such man as Garibadi could
have accomplished. A landing effected with
200 men, each armed with rifle, a revolver
and cutlass; large quantities of spare arms
and ammunition, and four field pieces this
was done in just one hour and three quarters,
in the very teeth of frigate and two steam.
ers, without hurry or disorder, and without
returning shot.
After landing, Garbaldi moved towards
Palermo with the utmost CELEBRITY and no.
where could the Neapolitan troops make a sue
cesstul stand against him. In Italy the popu-
lar enthusiasm in his favor is immense, and
more men are flocking TO join his standard
than can get transportation to Sicily. There
was great Garbald meeting in London, May
I'D, at which the chairman made the follow.
ing announcement :-"Gentlemen have Just
received message from Mr.. White, NJ. p,
who says: have just learned from Roths'
childs that Garibaldi has taken Palermo" ~
One OF the speakers at this meeting was Mr.
Miles, an American. We find in the London
. papers the following noteworthy sketch of his
speech -
"Mr. Miles said, if communication could
be LAID across the sea from Sicily to America
there were 100000 men who would shoulder
their bayoneted rifles and march over to the aid
of the Italians But there were 800 900 peo
