IN need Of confirmation, it seems beyond dispute
that Garibaldi's cause is working on, despite the
disease his troops suffer from, and the diplomatic
intrieues his Government is pestered with.

viz. the expulsion from Sicily of La Farina, the
notorious marplot, and of Signors Gricelh and

such slices OF Italian territory as Garibadli sword
might cut out, or as popular risipgs might
sever from their old allegiance. This process OF
pisce.meal annexation to Piedmont was to De ac-
MED by simultaneous process OF " comPen-
satopo for the second Empire. As Savoy and Nice
had TO be paid for Lombardy and the Duches, so
Sardinia and Genoa were to pay for Sicily; every
new act of separate annexation calling Tor ne"
sepsra' G diplomatic transaction with the protector
OF Piedmont. A iecOnd dlsmemberment to the
benefit of France, quite apart from the outrage on
the integrity and independence OF Italy which II
involved, would at once have put an extnguisher
on the patriotic movements at Naples and Rome.
The conviction spreading that to coalesce under
Piedmontese auspices, Italy must grow less and
less, would have enabled BODaparte to maintain at
Naples and Rome separate governments, independ-
ent in name, but for all practical purposes French
yassalapes. Hence Garibaldi thought it bis prin-
cipa task to cut off all pretext for French diplo-
matte interference, but, as he understood, this
could only be done by preserving To the movement
its pure popular character, aud diyestng it of all
appearance of connection with mere schemes
of dynastic ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Sicily Naples,
and Rome once liberated, the moment
would have come for merging them into the king
dom of Victor Emanuel, if the latter would take
upon himself to keep them, and defend them, not
only from Austria, the enemy in front, but also
from France, the enemy in the rear. Relying,
perhaps somewhat too much on the good viii Of
the English Government, and the necessities of
Louis BOnaparte's situation, Garibaldi presumes
that so long as he does not annex to Piedmont any
territory and exclusively relies for the liberation
of Italy upon Italian arms, LOnis BOnapsrte will
not dare to interfere in open violation of the pre-
texts upon which he commenced the Italian cru.
sade However that may be, this much is sure
that Garibaldi's plan, whether successful or not
is the only one that under present circumstances,
holds out any chance of rescuiDg Italy, not only
from its old tyrants and divisions, but also from
the clutches of the new French protectorate. And
to battle this plan was the special errand upon
which Cavour had dispatched La Farina to Sicily,
supported by the two Corsican brothers.
La Farina is a native of Sicily, where, in l048, he
distinguished himself among the RevOlutionists by
his hatred against the Republican party and his 10
trigues with the PedmOntese d0ctrlnaires rather
than by real energy or memorable exploits. After
the failure of the Scilian revolution and during mis-
stay at Turin, be publisheda vOlumnous history of
Italy, in which he did bis best to exat the Savoy

Association for Italian unity with Bonapartist
spirlt and having become It's chairman, banded 1t
as an Instrument not for futtherDg but for imped.
ing all attempts at Independent national action.
1t was quite in keeping with these antecedents
that, when the first rumor got afoat of Garibaldis
intended expedition TO Sicily, La Farina ridicued
and reylled the very idea of such an expedition.
When, nevertheless, immediate steps were taken
in preparation OF the bold adventure, La Farina
put in movement all the resources ofth National
