FRANCIS 11., at French instigation, sending offers of alliance to VICTOR EMMANUEL ; and sees the Sovereign, to whom he has given his allegiance for the sake of Italy, compelled to seem to look coldly on the project of a united Italy. He understands that VICTOR EMMANUEL cannot, even if France were not officiously in the way, seize on the Neapolitan territories and the States of the Church, and cashier the Rulers, as Lords PALMERSTON, RUSSELL, and BROUGHAM think best, for the sake of the public peace, and as the antidote to revolutions. He is fully aware that all the power of the superior:priests of every grade, and of the monks, will be brought to bear against union—all these things the great Italian patriot well knows, and has his counter-plan accordingly. And it is to his plan that we all wish " God speed." And more than that, we have great confidence in its author, Whatever GARIBALDI has undertaken, that he has done. His defence of Rome was acknowledged to be a great military succees ; though such crazy fortifications could not resist for ever. In its way it was as glorious as the defence of Kars. His exploits on the Alps, with the resources at his command, altogether surpassed those of the vain-glorious Frenchman. His last in Sicily with two thousand to twenty thousand tells its own tale, And GARIBALDI'S patriot troops cannot now be overpowered by mere numbers of Frenchmen fighting to enslave Italy to the Pope. England will never suffer that. He will now be able to fight his own battle with Bourbon despotism ; he has begun it nobly, and may be safely left to finish it. Louis NAPOLEON will doubtless do all be :can to complicate things at Naples for him ; but he will not venture, while we too have a Mediterranean fleet, to fire, again, a gun against him. Some indeed tell us that the south and north of Italy never can unite, the wish being doubtless father to the thought ; our reply is, leave the south and the north with GARIRALDI for their adviser, to settle that themselves. I f they do not, on both sides, wish for union, England can have not the slightest wish to force it upon them. GARIBALDI, on his part, most assuredly does not want to con• quer the people of Naples, but their despot, his mercenaries, and his police, on behalf of the people. We may be confident that, if, when freed from terrorism, they preferred to leave their promised liberties in the hands which give them only as a bait, GARIBALDI, would leave the simpletons and their Bourbons to themselves, to receive yet one more, and final, lesson in the perfidy of the worthless dynasty. Nothing in the world is wanted but to secure for the honest patriot " fair play and no favour." But the true state of the case can hardly be doubted. We have not yet while we write the explanation of the last disturbances at Naples; but this at least we know—they were caused by the irritation of the Royal granter of an amnesty with the popular joy on the return to their country of a band of the amnestied exiles. The joy in Naples over the few exiles whe returned, more than over all the citizens who needed no return, so like the joy of a better world over those who were lost but are found—was unendurable to the wretch who would rather they bad all gone to perdition than find again a place in the bosom of their families and of their native land. Thus much is certain; and we only hope that the murder of the rejoicing inhabitants, and the dismissal of the Liberal Ministry are but the prelude to the exile of the BOURBONS and of all belonging to them, never to return by any amnesty. Certainly never to return amidst the joy of the people. The Queen Mother and the camarilla—who it was promised long ago should be dismissed, still remain to prompt the young Monarch to resume his old counsels—we only hope that they have staid to make a larger freight for the vessel which will have the honour of being dredging barge to Neapolitan liberties. We believe it is not uncommon for such vessels to empty their contents in very deep water, and the Mediterranean is deep enough ; but, what is political " sludge" in one country may be thrown on the shores of another and do no harm. The Spanish coast is near and Austria not far off. So that Naples be cleared out we shall not care where the rubbish is shot. aara •
