"A correspondent OF the Tribune, who has
l0lned Garibaldi, writes from Digon as follows:
Ihe staH are very anxious about the position of
Garlbaldi, who risks too much as usual; he was
nearly made prisoner yesterday. The Franc
Iieurs demand Garbadian officers. MANY
Garlbaldians are waiting for leave to come
from Italy, and will probably arrive soou.-
Italians from Alexandra, Egypt, have formed
legion and came here last night armed and
rived with mimic rifles.
GARIBALDI.
A. correspondent OF the Tribune. with Carl
baldi, writes on the 9th from St Feau de Dot
as follows:-I had not seen Garbaldi since
the evening of Mantua. The alteration in him
since then is striking His figure is bent with
rhuematism and his body is thin, but his face
is as calm and bright as ever. We had two
hours talk. His position is peculiar. He ar
rived at Tours simultaneously with Gambetta,
and the latter was nOtover-pleased with the
ovation to Garibaldi. They had interviews
there. Gariba,di wrote Gambrtta, Il see I
have made mistake. am useless and shall
return" But that would not have suited the
people, SO they gave him command of the de-
partment of Pura. He is reported to have TO-
600 men, but he has not 5000, and they are all
Italians, Spanish and French. mongrel crew
Cambrel at Berancon has $4,000 men. Carl
baldi has with him his son-ln-law, Gauge, chief
OF the staff. Mnst of his best officers are not
yet here / said, General, if you call will
they Gomez? he replied in grave voice,
THAT is what cannot do. Each must come
on his own account" Yesterday he had de-
cided to return to Ancanges, but during the
night there came news that 5000 Prus>ians had
concentrated, SO Garibaldi SAID he should STAY
He expects every dav to be attacked. do not
see what is to stop the Prussians if they at
tack. Beyond a doubt GaribaI6,'s coming is a
mistake. The jealousy of the Frercb generals
is such that he can do nothing but when there
is no retreat.
