Tho Founding OF q New Italy.
New York, March 20.
The "Tribune" says !: Menotti Garibaldi
and his three thousand followers might
we'll avail themselves Of the abundant in
formation which is to be had in this
country, in regard to the unoccupied lands,
before setting sail for New Guinea, with
the intention Of establishing a colony on
the coast Of that uncivilized Australian
island. In Texas and California, alone,
these emigrants would find more favorable
conditions rs to soil, climate and prox-
unity to markets than exist in the remote
country in which they propose to found q
new Italy. Moreover, no military organi-
cation would be needed in these States for
protection.
