The special correspondent OF lHE TRIBUNE VIII"
car;hald; writes from Dion on the 26th "lhe
sta are very anxious about the position Garloaidi
risks too much, as usual He was nearly made pris-
oner yesterday.
"The Francs-tireurs demand Garibaldian oincers'
Many old Garibaldans are awaiting leave 10 come
from Italy and will probably arrive soon. Italians
from Alexandria Egypt have formed legion that
came last night, armed and equipped. Marseilles
legion also arrived, armed with Mimic rifles. The
Frontier National Guards left Dion on Saturday to
ioin Garikaldi under Colonel of gendarmerie
famous as Republcan-Lavalle Arms and ammu-
milton are greatly wanting. Erba has but seven
rifles and As rounds of ammunition for whole battal
ion. The French generally receive the Garibaldians
with great kindness, expecting much aid"
The same correspondent writes ON the eth from
St Jean de Dole: until my arrival last night /
had not seen Garibald since on the eve of Montana
he sent me into Rome to effect an exchange of the
wounded The alteration in his appearance is strik
ing. His fingers are bent with rheumatism he is
thinner in bodily frame, but his face is calm and
bright as
1--WE had two hours talk. His position is peculiar.
Arriving at Tours simultaneously with Gambetta,
be found the latter not over-pleased with the ova-
tions 10 Garibaldi. They had an interview there.
Garibaldi then wrote Gambetta: Il see have made
a mistake am useless and shall return But that
would not have suited the people they gave Carl
baldi command of the Department of the Jurs.
"He is reported TO have 10000 men; in reality he
has not 5OOO-Spanish, Italians, French-a motley
crew. Gen. Cambriels at BesancOn has $1,000 Carl
badi has with him his son-in-law Cameo, Chief of
staff; Basso is his Secretary; others are arriving.
Most of his best officers are not here said Gen
eral. if YOU call they will come. He replied in his
gravest voice, That is what cannot do; 1t would
he too heavy responsibility; each must come OH his
own account
Yesterday he had decided 20 return TO Aucanges.
During the night there came news that 6,OOO Prus-
slams were concentrating in the neighborhood; so
Garibaldi left word that he should stay. He ex-
poets every day TO be attacked. do not see what
is to stop the Prussisns if they attack. Beyond
doubt Garibaldis coming is a mistake. The jealousy
of French generals is such that he can do nothing
but he is here. and there is no retreat"
