Tho ar which have been made by France and Austria will satisfy neither the neutrals nor the Italians, but the two Emperors appear to care as little for the one as they do for the other. ‘The Austrian government affects to be well pleased with the conditions of peace, and probably it really ta ao, as it ig aware that tbo neutral Powers Peco led to the Emperor of the Frevch. A person who must necessarily be well informed on the subject this morning told me that the British go- ‘yerpment not long since proposed to Russia and Praseia to make the cession of Venetia and Lombardy the basis of future negotiations for peace, and he aleo gave me to un- deretand that the two last mentioned Powers had oon. sented to take the proposition into consideration, The proposals at first made by the Emperor Napoleon to the Emperor Francis Joseph were :— 1. That Lombardy and Venice should be separated from Avstria, and placed as an injepondeat kingdom under an Archd' luke. 2. That Modena and Parma should be given to Sar- dinia; and 3. That Tuscany should be ceded to the vachess Regent of Parma. Thege conditions having been rejected, the counter pro- positions made by Austria were accepted by the Empsror Napoleon, Court Recbberg and Baron Hees negotiated with his Majesty, and boil of them wore much struck by the extraordwary juciaity of his miffd and ais talent for busi ness. The preliminaries o! pe the Emperor himeolf at Valez Rechberg went after the interview between the reigns at Villafranca. Baron Hess settled with Napo'eon the conditioas of the armistice, and be was subsequently cent with Count Mensdorit to Valeggio, to. mae the necessary arrange ments for the meeting of the two mouarchs at Vilafranca. | It is reported that $00,000,000 of lire is the sum which | Lombardy is to take as her sharo of the national debt, | and When the news reached the army that peace had bdeea | the . é | te crisis of tts fate, might have come forth revivitied, and conciuded, and Lombardy ceded to France, the in dignation of the olficers was #0 great tua} maoy of | them expressed themselves in terms which were by | no means flattering to any of the parties con cerned. The Austrians maintain that they could affectu- ally have cured the French of their bad habit of modding i in the aifaire of other nations, ‘if the English had ineiste: on the neutrality of the Adriatic,’” and Iam not inclined to think that they overrate their prowess. The Fourth army, consisiing of some 60,°C0 men, was totatly inactive, as it was necossary to keep powerful ger- | rigons in Venice, Trieste, and tho numerous seaports on the Dalmatian coast.

It now ap; certain tbat the preliminaries of peace, which are about to be signed at Zurich, and the developements which they will receive ia the next Uoa- grees, will satisfy Italian interests much better than was ‘at first supposed: Venetia is to be completely Italian, Doth by its administration and its army. Italy will be delivered from ali military intervention; the French army at Rome will quit the Papal States immediately after the reorganization of the Italian Peninaula, As to the meat ing at Zurich one fact ts still doabiful. From the nomiaa- tion of & Sardinian plenipotentiary not being yet an- nounced, some persons infer that Sardinia will dot taxe part in that meeting. The three beliigereat Powers c tainly signed the armistice, but the same certainly docs not exist as to the signatures of preliminaries of peace. ‘The official accounta which we now receive from Italy oon- firm al! that our correspondents have said as to the agita- Yon of the country. THE PROPOSED ITALIAN CONFERENCE. The eeceud edition of the London Times of July 26 contains the following letter of its Paris correspondent, giving the outline of Count Walewski’s project for the confederation of the Italian States, of which we have had a telegraphic abstract:— Panis, July 25, 1859. ‘The question of the Italisn Confederation hich a Cou- gress is to meet already occupies the serious attention of the French, and, doubtless, of the Sardinian Cabinets, not ‘withatancing the well known dislike the king has to a confederation in the present condition of Italy, or even in the situation created for it by the treaty of Villafranca. The French government on this point, aswell as on several otbers. by no means agree with his Sardinian Majesty. M. Waleweki, we are told, has set his wits to work, and bas drawn up the draught of a plan of a con. federation, and submitted it unoilicially or conSdeatiatly to the Cabinets interested. In it M. Wale waki evidently takes for granted the restoration of the deposed sovereigns of Modena and Tuscaay, and the establisnment of the Duchess of Parma somewhere. M. Walewski’s con’edera- tioa consists of seven States. By the Villafranca treaty the nominal or honorary presidency was given to the Pope: that high office will be tilled in reality by the Kings of Sardinia and Naples, eech takiug turn about. As such a body cannot exist witout the means of defence, a federa! army will be created for the dofence of the federal territory—the contingen's to be fixed to the extent of the States respectively. ‘The strong places which will be garrisoned by the fede- ral troops are Gaeta, partly Neapolitan, partly federal ‘Mantua, partly Austrian and partly federal; and Piacenza, half federal and the remaining half Piedmontese. Quis cuttediat ipsos custedes? M. Walewski, it is to be hoped, ‘Will disclose the talisman by which he means to keep such discordant elements as Parmesang and Swies; Tuscans and Neapolitans, the soldiers of the Pope, the Sardinians and Crosta, in complete harmony. The Federal Council it is proposed to organize thas:— Parma and Modena to have one vote each; the Pope two; Tuscany two; Austria, for Venetia, two; and Pied- mont and Naples three each.’ Whether more coacord will prevail inthe Federal Coancil than ia the federal garri- 802 is difficult to say; but, supposing the same conditions to subsist, Austria could count on a majority of votes. M. Walewsk: claims no monopoly in the fabrication of confederations, for, according to all accounts, Cardinal An- tonelli has also studied the question in his own way. The French Minister is said to enter more into details than the Cardinal. The latter claims not merely the honorary, but the real and bona fide Pi for his Holiness. He has po objection to a federal army; not 9 much to garri on towns and strong places ag to defend the territory againet foreign and domestic enemies. Who the domes- tic enemies are may be gueesed. This last seems in con tradiction to the principle cf nom intervention said to form one of the conditions of the treaty of Villafranca. Piedmont would not, perbsps, absolutely rej notion of a confederation, but I doubt that she approves either M. Walewski's plan or that of Cardinal Antonel!!, while Austria would probably make no great obje:tion t> ettber. If Piedmont accept & confedraation she would not have Austria forming part of it; and moreover, she desires that a liberal government ‘should prevail lo the Other States a8 well as in Piedmont, for the better cansoli- dation of the independence and lverty of the whole Ttatian people. at the ‘DIPLOMATIC CIRCULAR FROM THE POPE.

AN ENGLISH VIBW OF THE MANIFESTO OF THE HOLY FATHER, [from the London Times, July 25.) ‘The Sovereign Pontiff bas appealed to Europe in a diplo. matic note. The manifesto ig not quite in the Hildebrand vein. It no longer thusters and threatens and hurls ex- communications, and awakens sleeping c'aims. But, if iis tone is less haughty, its purport is Dot ‘ess that of the un changiyg and unchangeable policy of the Holy See. Jt clainis all things and ul recades from nothing. It accep!s no responsibility and it renounces no atom of power. Th iz like the cry ofa weak aud wounded dest of prey. It com plains of the interference of stronger Powers with tue gratitication of its instincts; but it bears no remorse for the past and uo promise for the future. Io guch « doce ment we might have expected some broad view of tha Pope's position as head of the Catholic Church, circumstances of the’ moment are such as to invite & serious comment, The honorary preeideacy of the new Italian Coviederation has just been offered to the ac. eeptance of Pio Noo. Deso’ation reigns at Perngia, aud the halt heretical $witzers of the Papal guard are yet red auded from the slaughter OF the or.hodox sudjecis of the great Father of Christendom.

He makes no apology for the mageacres comumitted by his troops; he gives oat no hope to his ill ruled people. He satisfics himeeif by a solemn protest against ali interfo- rence with the continuance of his weary and wasting sys tem of tyranoy, aud be invokes the assistance aad protec tion of ail the great European Powers to enavie nim io do what he likes his own. The Pope appears at this moment to be very sick—more rick than the Turk was even when Nicholas thought it time to take out administration to bis effets. He has no | strength whatever in his own body, Weak and tottering, he sometimes leans upon ons strong maa and sometimes upon another. Acstria hes beid bim up in the Legations, France has kept him upright at Rome, the Swiss have spread the terror of his name in the unwarlke towns. To all human fore- sight be stems on the brink of dissolution, ana we should expec: to see the crazy old bark go down ia deep water if we did not remember bow ofien before the same crisis bas appeared at baad. and how woader- waterlogge1 and dismantled bull has cot into portavain. It is wonderful, and at the eame timo pitta. ble, to mark the senile and impotent tenacity with which this old man clings to his right to do wrong at a moment when tbe whole system seema ready to perish. If France and Austria were to retire there would be an end at oace and for ever to the States of the Church. Ualess the Pope receives very different assurances from those which Burope bas received, France and Austria must appear to | him very littl» disposed to be at the expense and odium of supporting a great Europ-an toandal, which can only be upheld by their assistance. Mf there be any reality in tbe project of an Italian confederation, it must mean ,@ confederation of Italian sovereigns, ad. vised “by Ivliaa statesmen, and protected by Italian soldiers. In that cage the accomplishment of the treaty of Villafrance must clear Italy of ali foreiga soldiers, aud Tuust leave Pio Nono face to face with the Italisa nation. ‘Yet it is this moment that the Pope chooses to claim for Dimself ali the rights of @ neutral Power, ani to protest agaist Sardinia in that she has distribated firearms to the insurgents and volunteers, and has introduced cannon into the revolted provinces ‘to encourage the audacity of the dieturbere of order.” If Sardinia nas done aught to ena. bie the citizens of the Roman States to defend themselves egainst the Paps! mercenaries, it mayjaifyrd good reason for the displeasure of the Pope agains: her; but it can be no reason for the document which we publish to-day. So long as the Roman government exists only by per- mission of France and Austria, that government has no right to be comsidered as a soverets State. Too same Powers which protect have s right to dictate; and, if they should choose, for reagons of their own, to dele gxte the exercige of that right to any otber Power, they are quite at liberty todo so. Tnedismaatling of Ferrara, of which the Pope complains, if the best, if not the only, couree open to the inhabitants of tbat city under existing circumstances. There, as at Piacenza, the austrians ex tended the fortifications in defiance of the stipulations of the treaties; they have now retreated, and, the fortid cations being of no use, unless to harbor the mercenarios of the Pope, the inhabitants are wisely destroying them. Why should this have the astonishing effest of ‘dling the soul of the Holy Fatbor with bitterness, and ee ia him a lively and just indignation? Surely, he not now once again pretend to amuse Europe with the foolish fable he and nis mercenaries are able te hold either Ferrara or any other city of the Roman Stetes in the absence of General Goyon and his garrison? It was absurd enough at any moment to ima- gine that ina war which was avowedly undertaken to change the destiny of Italy the Roman States could re- main neuter; but it is still more ridiculous to talk of neu. trality while the whole country is more or less occupied by foreign troops. ‘We can quite appreciate the difficulty of France and Aus ‘ria in this matter. No persou is more unreasonable to eal with than a man who is ready to stand still and bea martyr, but who makes it a poiat of conscience to coatinue vent that cloud of ecclosiastizal locusts from devouring to martyrize others. Pio Nono cannot in his conscience pre- the Roman people, and he cannot withiraw his counte nance from the kilnapping of Jews and tho sack aud pillage of Italian cities; but Pio Nono is quite content to die upon the steps of the Vatican if either Napoleon III or Francis Joseph sbould wish to put him todeath. Taey may break him, but they shall not bend bim. They may “demand from the Pope iadispensabie reforms in his States,’’ but he will refuse to do anything except to subd. mit to death or exile—edifying the Catholic world with the exibition of a Pope persecuted by the two eldest tons of the Church. Now, of course, this is precisely what no one wiahee to do. No one ous of Rome has any desire to ‘pjure a hair of the head of this obstinate old man. Bat 80 long as the French remain to protect him he will by his ecclesiastics and hig bravos drain the country and destroy the people: and, if the Freachzo away, the people, exas- peraied beyond all moderation, will yeaa expel him. This is the dilemma. Perhaps the solution may be found in the formation of confederate Italian army, whica msy be stroog enough to be guided by moderate coan- sels, and may be trusied to repress any violeat reaction when the foreign troops are withdrawn. But, however thi may be, the present position of France in Rome is too bumiliating to be long endured by a high spirited and civilizea nation, whose sympathies, when properly touched, eel¢om fail to be excited by unmerited opprei- sion, The Emperor must be anxious to find some way out of thig most aggravating difliculty; and every lay Frenchman would in his beart be glad to see the Roman garrigon in Paris, and al! Roman questions left to be settled between the Pope and his people. How it may end no tac can foresee, but, in every event, we have great eaves to congatulate ourselves that we Englishmen nave uo act or part in this matter, POPULAR FEELING IN y WITH RESPECT TO THE W ARRAN RDINIA ABA HER AN I ACTS IN THE ONS AND DUCHIF: mia (July 22) Correspoadent of Londoa Times. the world to what extent right can avail would be impossible for me or any man in the world to convey by mere words ax idea, even the faintest, of the excitement of the Hatian population taroughout the country.

THE POPE, THE CATHOLIC POWERS AND THE INFI DELS. ‘Ths bas addressed an autograph letter to the Car- dinal Bisbop of Albano, requesting him to invite all the faithful of Rome to joi in a solemn thankegiving fdr the ion of war. The following is the principal passage of this docu. ment:— ‘To thank God for the restoration of peace between the two great Catholic belligerent Powers is our duty; but to con- tinue our prayers is a necessity, inasmuch as divers pro- vinces of the States of the Church are still a prey to the men who are intent upon demolishing the blished or. der of things, and it is with this view that in our days a forcign usurping Power proclaims that God hath mad: man Free as th his religious opinions, thus ‘denying the authorities established by Goa upon earta, ‘and to whom obedience and respect are due, forgeiting at the same time the immortality of the soul, which, when it pagecth from this transitory world to the eternal one shail bave to answer unto the all powerful aad inexorable judge for thore religious opinions; then, learning too late that there is but one God and one faith, and that whoever quit- teth the ark of unity shall be submerged in the deluge of eternal punishment. INTERESTING FROM GERMANY. THE PRUSSIAN MANIFESTO IN DEGENCE OF HE8 WAR POLICY. The following despatch (a synopsis of which has ap peared in the Hxaarp, was addreseed by the Prussian government to its representatives at the Courts of London and St, Petersburg:— Bent, June 24, 1859 The rapidity with which, for some time, military and Political events have followed one another in Italy, the downfall of the governments of Tuscany, Parms, and Mo- dena, the risings which have taken place in other parts of the peninsula, finally, the uncertainty which prevails in ati minds about the probable duration and extension of the struggle in which two powerful empires are vow en- gaged, have induced the government of the Kinz, from motives of precaution aud respect to its own dignity, to mobilize part of the Prussian army. The excitement which baa seized upon Germany. the approach, daily becoming closer, of the belligerents, to the German frontier, and the possibie turns (die Weoh selfalle) of a war, whose breaking out we inthe most honest and disinterested way attempted to prevent by our advice, would in themselves bave been guilicient to Justify measures of military precaution on our part, which, after all, but correspond to similar ones on the part of all our neighbors. On the other band, you will conceive that we had to Place ourselves in s position to watch the march of events, end to aiter the balance of power empire with which we are connected by the Ger! ¥ i tie, and by damaging (Beetntrachtigung) the foundations of a public law to whose establishment we hsve contributed, and whose preservaticn is in the interest of the whole family of States mm Europe.

SCHLEINITZ, FEELING TOWARDS PRUSSIA IN OTHER GERMAN STATES—THE MEETING OF BAVARIAN RADICALS AND LIBERALS. {Manich (July 22) correspondence of the London Times.) In leaving Rrankfort one feeis more bewilderivgly the chace tnto which public opiaion has fatien in all parts of Germany. Ia Wurtemberg, and especially in the capital, Stuttgardt, the exasperation against Prussia is excreme— far greater than I bad been led to anticipate. gentleman residing in Stuttgardt thst ao officer wearing the Pruseian uniform would now hardly from ingult at # table d’hote there, snd this has been cou firmed by other porsens well acquainted with the tone of the higher society. To the middie ciaates the fecting is not noarly so decided, In Munich, though I have ouly been bere for three days, Thave bad most favorable opportunities of learaing the [emit direction of public opinion. It is vicleatly anti- Prussia, and what little a they have to spare is freely bestowed upon England. Ths majority did not de- sire war out of love for Austria, for even those who are mest inclined to support Austria would on no account see her principles of government extended to Bavaria. Even their hatred of Napoleon Itl— and it ig intense beyond anything which the lukewarmuess of party feeling in England allows us to feeli—even this ia not the ciue to the violent agitation which pervades all classes. The strongest feeling is that of wounded pride, They have sat still while a German ‘my was beaten, while a German State lost a part of its territory, and they feel that they are now less than ever members of a great Power. On two berg. alone all are agrecd—the greatness of the danger, and the one remedy which can be opposed to it—union. But it would be diffi. cult to find two men who think exactly alike as to the means by which this can be attained, while many regard it ag hopelees, excepting as the result of war or rovolu- tion. ere is a party which hopes to see the ancient rivalry of Austria aud Prussia forgotten, internal reforms on @ liberal scale introduced into Austria, and some con- cessions made to Prussia. On these terms they think that the two great Powers can work cordially together, and infuse life into the Confederation, This is not, however, as far as I can learn, the view of the majority’ among the more enlightened party. From for ecaaaes Austria they can look for nothing, at least Even the introduction of a more liberal system woul render her still lees German she is, for it would and ought to introduce into her government a larger propor- tion of the nou German elements which compose the ma- jority of her subjects. Norcanit be denied that to all past times she has steadily kept in sight the interests of ‘the house of ides rather than those of Germany. The supporters of tieee views would prefer to see a strict union between Prussia and Bavaria, and this they think possi dle with advantage to both parties, as well as to Ger- Mmavy itgeif, while the latest events prove how little it can be boped for with Austria. The Emperor Francis Joseph has declared in his latest proclamation tbat his najural allies had proposed to him far harder terms than the victorious Emperor of the French. A blue book is now being printed in Berlin which containg the correspondence on this subject. Prus- sia communicated to Ei and Russia a project of me- @iation, adding that, even without the asient of those Pow. ers, she was prepared to enforce it with the sword, Tho terms she offered were as follows:. The renunciation of the private treaties; the erection of Milan into an independent State, to be governsd by the Arcbduke Maximilian; Venice to continue under Auatrian rule, and the banished Dukes to be reatored. Austria can bardly eay that these were harder terms than she has had to submit to, Why, then, did she reject them, and con- clude peace so precipitately? Russia had sigaifled her readinees to enter @ European Congress oa the basis Proposed. Engiano, as far aa I can learn, had not yot given an answer, Prussia bad offered the alternative of war. Austria preferred an ignominious peace to the ritk of secing Prugsia at the bead of the armies of Ger- many. In a war of one or two years’ duration she must have attained an influence over all the lesser States which would have completely —— the supremacy which Austria has so perseveringly sought to main- tain. The sacrifice of Lombardy seemed as nothing compared with the loss she was threatened with. It is therefore, almost demonstrated that a cordial co-ope tion of Prussia and Austria ts net to ba looked for at pre- tent. If, on the other hand, Bavaria and Pruesia hada por- fect understanding, they could command a majority inthe Diet, and thus force Austria to join them, on pain of being left in the minority. It is true that neither Austria nor Pruesia cares much for the resovutions of the Diet; they are effective only in the smaller States, where they are dexterously used by the sovereigns to carry through measures of internal police which their own Legisia- live Chambers would refuge toasuction. But ag the wuole power of Austria in Germany depends upon prestige, she ig too wise to appear in a certain minority. Doubtless there are difficulties in the way of an entente cordiale be- tween Bavaria and Pruesia. Prussia is the object of universal jeslousy; she is thought to be Prussian rather than German; Bavaria prides her- self on being the representative of the pure Teutonic race. Again, 10 too true that the present King is catirely in the hands of the Uitramontane party, men who will use every eflort to frustrate measures waich would necos: rily lead to a far more general toleration than they are inclined for. But the King can hardiy have forgotten the lessons of history—how perseveringly Austria has on several occasions songhi to absorb Bava: sud as a statesman he must feel that, if the occasion of- fered, it would require more than Austrian or Ultramon- tane Virtue to withstand go great a temptation. Although it may be suspected that the influence of Ruszla was even more active that of Eogiand in retarding the move- ment of Prussia, it ig but natural that Eagiand should come iu for a share of the biame which is univertally cast upon tbe chief delinquent. Ihave been astonished to fad ia Germany that same jealousy and mistrust of Kogland which we are accustomed to in France. That the two bly exploded one—that England seks allics only to use them for her own ends, without any regard to their inte They fancy that Manchester and Birmingham are 8 of their mavafactures, as if there were not markets open for more than all Engiand and all Germany, with France and Switzerland to boot, can produce. In the inner States, like Bavaria, where the Danube is the great natural highway, they complain that we bave done nothing to insure the freedom of naviga tion; that the Jittle that has been put upon paper in their favor—it has led to no practical results—was due to the initiative of France. Tho foreign polisy of England is little understood on the continent, and we must be prepared for these reproaches, Dut I carrot doubt that, if the necessity of x common ac- tion should arieo, we shall find Soutn Germany as ready to take up arms for the geod cause of European freedom as the Northern States, but it may be feared that their present coubts and jealousies will prevent their taking those steps which might render them able to help either themselves or others.

A letter from Berlin, of the 20th of July, in the Vow Gazete of Hanover, eays:—Overtures hare been made to ur Cabinet on the subject of a Congress by France and Russia. The Freneh government makes known that it comsente to a Congress being convoked, though Austria objecta to one. The Russian government insists on the ne- cessity of te co-operation of all the European Powzrs in modifying European treaties, and at the same time indi- cates & disposition to place the additional terrilory obiain- cd by Sardinia under the general guarantee of Purop: The Prussian government bag not yet taken any decision on the question, aud it is probable that before doing go it awaits communications from Eagland The Commercial Gazette, of Berlin, says:—Oa Lord Lo'tur, a few days back at Vienna, asking of Count Rech- berg for the text of the Convention of Villafranca, ho in his turn was interrogated, ‘Have you been instructed to ask that question?” Lord Loftus anewered in the ailirmativo, when Count Rechberg declared that he was not authorized to make the eammunication to him which be desired.

(Milan (July 21) correspondence of London Times.) I am not greatly inclined to hero worship, and never went two steps out of my way to sce the face of any man living, but I have just now travelled 150 miles to press the band of Garibaldi. Theard he was at Tirano or Bormio, in the Valtelline, and left Milan on Saturday last by the evening train to Camerlata and Como. I embarked in the steamboat ply- ing across the lake on Sunday morning; and rode from Colico along the broad valicy of the Adda as far as Sondrio, At Sondrio I was told that Garfbaldi’s headquarters were acroes the mountains, at Lovere, in Val Canonica, on the Lake of Iseo; as for the Generai himself, he was Gescribed az ioo restless a being ever to remain ata- tionary in any place. I there pursued my journey up the Valtelline,as far as Tramezya. From the latter place I walked by moonlight over the Aprica Pass toFioio; from Piola I again rode to Lovere, where I found the General wos illin bed. I saw him. At every step during this romantic journey I fel! in with the Chatseurs of the Aips, and botn Garibaldi’s f lowers and the whole population bad no theme of conversation save only the adyenturors hero I was in quest of. At Como I found the depots of the corps, a body of 2,000 to 3,000 men, which, in spite of the armistice and peace, received every day new recruita, At Sondrio, and all along the lower valley, the Cacciatori degli Apennini, now united to their fellow chasseurs of the Alps, were echelonnes. At Tramezza we were only a fow hours from the Stelvio Pats, where the last sbots in this war have been ex changed between the Tyrolese Jagers and the Italian ehorpehooters. The road across the Aprica Pass, from the valley of the Adda to the valieg of the Oglio, still bore traces of recent confli Barricades were thrown athwart the road on the highest slopes, calculated to break the impetuoeity of the assailants a: the only point waere a r could be made, At Edolo, ina deep gorge, jammed in by gigantic green mountaing, we were at the foot of the Tonale Pass, and there also the dread rifles of the Tyrolese highlanders were levelied against the bad muskets with whicb Gari- baldi’s men have hitherto carried on the unequal conflict, making up for the inferiority of their weapons by un’ daunted courage and the la facrifice of their lives. All along the road, at the diferent minor headquarters, I conversed with Garibaldi’s men and . Tt is not rare to find in this singular corps the common soldier a better informed and educated man than his epantetted commander, The charm thrown by the hero of Montevi- ceo over the whole Italian population bas enlisted young men of the highest clasnes, artista, literary men, profes: sors and echolars, in ranks as mere privates. Even the veteran Montanell, once a ruler in Tuscany, and for many years an illnatrns oxile in Paris, the aathor of Camma, and other historical and literary’ works, quitted bis wife in Turin, and followed his only son, who bad em- barked as & common soldier in this perilons venture. Among a hundred Italiane you find, perhaps, five or six adventurers of all other countrice, French, Swies, Gar. mans, Sppniards, Americans, of both continents, and even a Chinese and an Englishman. The latter I found at Turin, at the table d’hote de Ia Grande Bretsgne, where he sonounced to me his inten- jon to have some sport with the Alpine chasseura, and asked for direction as to Garibaldi’s whereabor He is man of near sixty, of a tall and colossal frame, im- perfectly acquainted’ with the language, aad ignoraat of moet Italiana matters, He professes, | am told, the ut- mont indifference to the cause ha serves. Between him and bia fellow combatants there is hardly any inter- course, Garibaldi allowea him to rolow, ae — makes war at his own expense, and encamps s ibe corps. He receives no orders, asks for no information as to the General's movements. He is indefatigable in the march—intrepid in the fight. Garibaldi num ers 59, or perhaps 100, of the best marksmen in Europe, but the Engliebman is the deadliest shot. In the latest en- counter on the Stelvio the Tyrolesc never suc- ceeded in winging a single Garfbaidino, white five of their numbers dropped mortally woualed from the ramparts, from which they scarcely ventured to peep; two of the number fell under the unerring aim of the Englishman. He'is never wanting @ hoar of strife; he.takes his place in some hidden nook, all alone, aloof from the rest, equatted on the ground, calm and impar sionate, taking leisurely aim, ike a_sportsman awaiting the lion or wild boar at the brook. He haza double bar- rolied rifle, a sabre, but no bayonet, aud takes no part in the melée when the Garibaldini come to close quarters. Some people told him be must be strongly devoted to the Italian canse to come out in arme in its support at his time of life. He answered, with a yawn, he was very fond of shooting, and must take part either on one side or the cther. ‘There was an eccentric Frenchman, algo an man, who joined Garibaldi at Cuneo at the outset; bat he had ‘ancy be could go to war in his gig; but somohow his broke down on the first brush with the Austrians at Ona- sale, and the French amateur was never again hoard of.

Garibaldi was born in 1807, and is therefore §2 yor old, He has a brigb’, cheerful loox, the color of bi and heir betoken 4 tanguine temperament. There is one of the busts, lithographs, photograpus, &o , w'cl sold by thousacds throughout Italy and Karope a Gari. baldi’s portraits, thst give the alighoat idea of the ex. pression of that noble countenance. There is not the least approach to fercevess or wildnoss aboat tbe hero's countenance. He looks intelligent, earnest, benevolent, and affablo in the extreme.

Truly, Garibaldi is oce of nature's own kings and iesd ere of men. It was neituer fair justice nor good taste represent him as atrucculent bandit or az a theatrical he: Loaded with stars and cros:es by more than oue mon: he never wears any decoration or distinction whatever] Hig costume is, or rather was, picturesque, yet extret simple, suited to the c'imates where Jay the scene of h earliest exploits, and common among the people who fi trusted him with the supreme command.

He is a modeat, gentte, in| dependent cbaracter. He {s strongly devo:ed to Kim Victor Emanvel’s interests, but I will venture say he will never appear at the Court of Turin n0 eat the bread of his weli earned General’s pensiot The men of Garibaldi and his officers loudly bitterly complain of the conduct of the Piedmontese Wi Ministry and of the military authorities of the Sardini Staff General towards their corps. They were never fair considered as a part of the Itatian army, or treated at sucl though they bere the brunt of the war at every steg the campaiga. The sapply of provisions has been sc: imperfect and irregular, and their weapoas have been 0 the vilest description. The revolvers which Garibaldi’ own Lieutenant, Origoni, purchased in England, and tort; English rifles, which were sent to Genoa usa present bo ae ‘by an Italian patriot, never reached their da ipation. Gariba'di is now contemplating a move from the Alp to the Apennines, from Northern to Central Italy. The: will be a gathering of about 50,000 voiunteers in Ro magna. Garibaldi’s corps, joined to that of Mezzocapo will form an army capable of gecaring the independenc of Central Italy, at least against any Roman or Neapolitan or any merely Italian force. The Diritto of Turin states that Garibaldi’s hoadquar are now at Lovere, on the lake of Iseo, and that oi 15th of July he was eummoned to Brescia by Gen. mora, with whom he dined, after a long confidential in view. He returned to Lovere on the following day, wh be telzed with a violent pain in his leg, which h: kept him in bed ever since. A letter from Milan, in the Indipendente of Turin, co1 tains a rather curious anecdote. According to the writer, when the Marquis Neri Corsin di Lajatioo, who, as you know, was a prime mover in revolution at Florence, heard of the preiiminaries of peag having been eigned at Villafranca, he waited upon “exalted personage’’ to ask what bad been stipulated wil regard to fuscany. ExaiteD PERSONAGR—Nothing. Manquts—Then the Grand Duke is at liberty to return? EXALTED PERsONAGE—I don’t see why not. Maxgvis—But then you will interfere to protect him and re eetablish his government? Exataep PersonaGe—Not I, assuredly. Mangtis—But then I fear ‘the people will refesa to ceive him. EXxaLtep ParsovaGr—Tent micuz. Maxquis—Thore will be diaturbance; he will be drivel out by main force. Exaurep PersonaGR— Taunt micuz, Marquis (rather nonplussed)—How? Tunt misux? Yo ili permit me to mention thts conversation to my friend Exaitep Pensonace—With ali my heart—you will obligl me (anzi). The marquis, adds the letter, struck with amazement wa'ked backwards out of the room, with profonnd by: and muttering between big teeth the famous tan! mi This and othcr anccdotes of the kind have greatly co1 tributed to calm down the feeling of exasperation the fizet tidings of the peace first produced throughod Italy, Whatever may be the iegue of this imbroglio, hot ever, it may be fairly questioned whether it will be ta micuz for Italy in the end.
