The news this morning is that the first act
Of hostiliiies will take place on Thursday. the
l4th Of this month Garbaldi, we are told,
will on that day pass the, Po with SO, 600 men.
Had | rushed off 10 the telegraph Office with
the intention of communicating this fact to
your readers with lightning speed, my tele-
gram, having reference to the affairs Of the
war, would have been submitted to the scru.
tiny Of the gentlemen of the War Depart
ment, and l should have been very politely
told that upon the whole, it was, perhaps, as
well not to send that announcement prerna.

tlemen of the War Department would have
acted very judiciously in 30 deciding. All
care has been taken to prevent us incorripible
gossips OF the press from babbling of matters
which statesmen and strstegists might wish
to keep secret. The Procurator Regio has
had all the editors of papers before him, and
by virtue of the extraordinary powers given
totheGovernment by the Chamber few weeks
ago, has intimated to them that no intimasion
Of anything connected with the war must APP
pear IN their papers before it has appeared in
The Official Gazette.

the greatest excitement prevailed during the
whole day. At 6o'clock in the evening a
special supplement to tho Morpimento was
published, stating positively that Garibaldi
would embark that night, and calling on the
people to give him hearty reception. There
was no need TO make such an appeal twice.
The crowd swelled TO large proportions, the
theatres we're deserted, and the street RUNNING
along the harbor was completely blocked.
Still, as hour after hour passed and no steam.

sons present. The National Guard mustered
