The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-10-10

In April, 1862, he was appointed General-in-
Chief of the Italian National Guard. In the
summer of 1862 he engaged in an enterprise
which was disapproved by the Italian Govern
ment, and came into collision with the royal
troops ut Aspromonte, where he was wounded
in the foot and taken prisoner.
He visited England in 1864, and was received
with great enthusiasm. He fought against the
Austrians in the short war of 1866, at the head
of a corps of volunteers; but the hostlities were
ended by truce before he came to any deci-
sive action.
The war of 1866 resulted in the union of all
Italy except the remnant of the Papal States
under the sceptre of Victor Emanuel. Carl
baldi and his adherents were not content, and
soon after his retirement to Caprera he COM
menced his intrigues for assault on Rome.
The movement was at first fixed for June, 1867
and volunteers had begun to assemble in large
numbers, but the precautionary measures taken
by the Italian Government induced him topost
pone it, During July and August Garibaldi
travelled extensively through the northern por-
tion of Italy, inhaming the people by speeches
and making occasional demonstrations in favor
of the contemplated expedition. On September
4 he lett Bologna for Geneva, where
he attended the Peace Congress. The journey
thither was a mere teint for while he was at
Genoa his son Menotti was preparing in Naples
for an immediate Invasion of the Papal pro-
vinces. Garibald left Geneva to place himself
at the head of the expedition. Before he reached
the Papal frontier he was arrested by order of
the Italian Government, and after a brief i'm
prisonment sent under guard to his
island home at Caprera. He
soon escaped, however, and this
time made his way into the Papal country and
placed himself at the head of the volunteers
which had been collected by his son. On the
Sd of November he encountered the Papal Zou-
aves, supported by small French force, at
Montana, few miles from Rome, where the
invasion was brought to an inglorious termina-
tion after short but decisive contest. This ill
advised attempt on the part of the Garibaldian
party to seize Rome seriously complicated the
Italian Government but its defeat once more
permitted the consolidation of Italy to proceed.
Since the affair at Montana he has been COM
paratively quiet, but has been repeatedly en-
gagged in intrigues for the seizure of Rome, and
has been under the surveillance of the Italian
Government a great part of the time. The
recent movement of the Italians upon Rome
was so sudden and summary that he was pre-
vented from participating in it, or, what would
doubtless have been much more to his liking
of heading republican expedition against the
city as soon as its evacuation by the French
gave a show of ultimate success. The
Italian Government blockaded him in
Caprera, ostensby to prevent him
from going to France to engage in the service
of the republic, in behalf of which he issued, on
September z, short manifesto to his compa-
triots. After the entry of Rome was completed,
however, he was suffered to escape from Ca
prera, and arrived at Marseilles on October z.
Here he was enthusiastically received. lie
Immediately pushed forward to Tours, where
another enthusiastic welcome awaited him,
and where his arrival on the Sth was an
nounced in last nights cable kilograms. To a
small battalion of sharp-shooters whom he re-
viewed soon after his arrival, he made speech,
in which he said:-"We shall meet again on the
battlefield, to rid France of the invader" It
is possible; and it is also possible, although
scarcely probable, that the great revolutionary
hero of two hemispheres may become the man
around whom France will at last rally in her
| dire strait.
