The situation is in no way modified. The
drmiSt1ce Of tice days erpires today; it is likely
thatlit will be heightened to five days more. The
belligerents do not seem to be able TO put their
horses heads together. Italy, no doubt at the
instigation of Prussia, is putting every obstacle
in the way of an arrangement Prince Napo-

law, and is doing al be can 10 counteract the
influence of Prussia.
Italy is most desirous Of carrying on the war,
and Of getting Tyrol and Is,ra. Napoleon III
is very much put out, as he finds he cannot have
it all his own way.
The Monite,g, from being very loquqclous, has
now become most taciturn.
NAVAL ENGAGEMENT AT LIssA.

DEATH OF DEPUTY BoGG1o.

! and member of Parliament who happened to

| THE EXPLOITS OF THE GARIBALDINI.
| The soldiers of Garibaldi, for the most part

| Austrians have been Obliged to concentrate all
their available forces on the banks OF the
Danube: therefore the defense of the Tyrol may

Italy agree in stating that the great patriot
GARIBALDI IS DYING.

wound received at Aspromonte in 1862, and 1t

SLIGHTLY wounded, but it appears that he is in q
fair way of recovery.
