QUESTION FROM GARIBALDI.
ToURs, Oct. 14.-The Herald cor
respondent, who had an interview with
Garibaldi. says his quiet simplicity and
dignity of manner much impressed me.
His countenauce was sad, with a worn
look in the eyes.
He informed me that he made his es-
cape from Caprera in a fishing smack
provided by his friend Col. Boudine,
who accompied him. He asked many
questions relative to the merits of the
Whitworth, Schneider, and Enfield rifles,
with view to finding which is consider
ed the best.
After expressing determination to
remain with the French to the last, he
added "Why will not the noble Amer
ican Republic, the glory and admiration
of all free peoples, send material aid to
the young and struggling Republic Of
France?
"Italy, France, and Spain anxiously
await one determined worn from America
to cast of forever their detested chains"
The General spoke with remarkable
earnestness.
