Garabaidi.

The intelligence received by the Europa of
the movements of Garibaldi, fully confirms
the views which We expressed in the Tribune
few days ego. The excitement is greater
than even the first reports represented it to be-
The news brought by the Europa is only two
days later than that by the Anglo-Saxon, but
during these two days the 800 adventurers
which he had collected according to the Lon
don Times, have grown into an army of 0,OOo
volunteers. The enthusiasm of the people for
him, we now learn, is tremendous. He has
held council of war, and it has been deter
mined to march forthwith upon Rome. 7-
The most confident believer in Garibaldi,
cannot conceal from himself that the great
Liberator, il he carries out his design, en-
barks in hazardous enterprise. Garabaldi
undoubtedly wishes to avoid conflict with
Victor Emanuel, but after the pledges, given
by the Italian government to France and to
the Italian Parliament, the Ministry will
hardly fail to attempt arresting the movements
OF Gsribsldi by force Of arms. An attack
upon Rome will undoubtedly lead to an attack
upon the French troops stationed there, and
thus to war with France. The question ma.
turally arises: Is there in such case any
possibility of success for Garibaldi7
The English and French papers almost unar-
imously blame the bold step Of the great Ital-
ian patriot. The conservative papers charge
any unauthorized attempt on his side to lib
| crate Rome IS an act OF unjusti6ed rebellion.
The same views have been expressed by sew
eral of our New York dalies. This Judgment,
we think, is at least premature. Garibaldi
was no less charged with madness when, three
| years ago, he set out, with bat few compan-
ions, for the liberation of Sicily but, after 8
| few months, many who had called him mad
man had to confess that his success was unpre-
cedented and unparalleled. II Garibaldi, as
| the telegraph announces, will soon have an
army of $4,000 men, he is much stronger than
he was when beginning the liberation of Sicily.
As to the intense sympathy of the entire
Italian population with his objeet--the liberia
/ ton of RoTne--ihere can ba no doubt The
cry aRome or death" has resounded In every
| Italian town, and the enthusiasm which it has
called forth has been tremendous. lf-there
were no fear of foreign interference, would the
government of Victor Emanuel dare to oppose
national cry so general and SO enthusiastic
Even now, with the probability of French
war in view, will it not be fraught with danger
to the government to order an attack upon the
/ revered and almost worshipeds hero of 1859
t+aribaldi cannot have overlooked the chan
/ ces of French war. In this case he undoubt-
edly expects aid from the democratic move
ments in other countries. How reasonable or
unreasonable such hope may be ia impossible
for us to know. But we should remember that
the revolutionary outbreak in ls48 was a
thousand times more unexpected than similar
movements in most of the European countries
would be at present.
| Still, we confess to not being very sanguine
of the success of Garibaldi. We snail not be
surprised if the European mail shord soon
| apprse as that another compromise had been
agreed upon between Garibaldi and Victor
Emanuel.
