This do- plorabie trangaction will probably hasten the solution of the Eastern question, on which diplomatists, statesmen, rulers, journalists and pampbletcers have expended a great deal of thought, negotiation, paper and ink.

Thave nothing new to communicate as regards Sicily, save the fact that Garibaldi is more and more disgusted with the people for whom be has dove so much. Even the higher classes hang bask, leaving the Liberator to manage ae est he can. The character of Garibald! is one peculiarly adapted to make him the leader of an army, but singulariy unfitting him to act as astatesman. Hoe is too eager, | might say, too sincere, to make a good diplomat. As regards Sicily, he sincerely anxious to liberate that country, apparently mote so even than the Sicilians, who, now that the moment has arrived for them to act earnestly and calmly—for them to organize a government end an army, and show that they are worthy of Uberty —seem to stay all proceedings on their part and ‘wait that others do for thom what they should do them selves. Beside this apathy on the part of the Siciliaus, who, now the excitement prodnood by the first struggle is over, do longer wish to act as seldiers, we must take into account the too unpetoous temperament of Garibaldi. He wishes to go on with too much rapidity. In fact, he is aman to march ahead; there must come alter him some person to take care of what he has conquered; he no longer prizes anything once he has suecocded in gaining it. With bim it is ever onwards. No sooner had he ob- tained advantages in Sicily than he thought 0” at once Proceeding to the main land. Were he to conquer Naples and Rome, be would leave them to their fate, and march om Venetia, It is this impotuosity that is now a serjow drawback in the affairs of Sicily. There is, as yet, no government there, Gari- baldi angered against all parties, the Sicid.ans look ou sapinely. ‘They do not like exertion, complain that dey are not ac- customed to serve as soldiers, that there # no military element in the country, and are acting in sucha maaneras | to thoroughly disgust their best friends, who fear that they wilt end [by accepting the proffered concession of Francis Il., from mere sapineness.

The naval expedition to Syria, the difficulties of Garibaldi—which the semi-Constitutiond chooses to remark ‘more fatigue than interest Europe” — the feeler from the same quarter about a ‘‘confederation”” for Italy, the mistrust about the Neapolitan constitution, the comments openly made upon the strong lamguage of the English Foreign Minister in regard to la question Suisse, the thorough obscurity which enshrines the policy of France—all combine to impart a sentiment of general méfiance, not the less palpable that it docs uot visibly affect public securities. I believe I am only stating the fact when I say that the great body of the French people bave never at any time been more bearty in support of the Emperor than at pre- sent, and that this méfiance, though it cortainly does influence the commerce of France, is a feeling pretty generally limited to other nations.
