The | overtures made hy the r to these | patriots are disclosed in “the archives | of the Third scetion™ at 8t Peters ! burg. A part of the story was told by | Garibaldi himself who, coming out from his habitnal reserve, said to a young o s at the moment Europe was preparing for the campaign in the | Crimea, that an cinissary of Czar Nicholus had come to him to propose | a political movement in the Lombardy- Venetian provinces. The czar al- ready saw an adve v in this power and wished to make a diversion. On Sud, a French paper published in Rio de Janeiro, says: “The czar later of- fered tn place at Mazzini's disposal several million of rubles on the condi- tlon that the Italian movement should be clearly monarchical. The ezar would accept the fall of the Bourbons and wculd consent to lend his aid to Mazzini only on condition that he stould work for the triumph of the house of Savoy. ‘The czar knew the Sardinian states ware ho tile to him, but flattered him sell, perhaps, that he could conciliate them, Mazzin! averred that he had no repugnance to allving himself with au tocratic Rus that ke was ready for a part with any one, no matter whom, even the devil himself, to combat the enemies of JItaly—Austria and the pope. He, however, presented a con- | dition to the ezer that the Russian would ot accent —that Italy when de- livered from Yer epemies should be a republie. Nicholaz could not subseribe to that condition and the ‘pour-parlers’ ended. “‘But,” eald Mazzini, after a pause, ‘eAn you guess, gentlemen, who the emissary was that the czar sent to me from St. Petershurg to propose this extraordinory alliance? It was Tamberlik! Tamberlik, the celebrated tenor of the Italian opera at St. Pe- tersburg, and for this delicate mission the ezar could not have chosen a bet- ter embassador.’ " A Spanish Industry.
