    The Alleged Quakrel Between Garibaldi An...

    THE ALLEGED QUAKREL BETWEEN GARIBALDI AND CAVOUR . TPIE friends ' -of Italian liberty have been startled by telegrams ' -announcing that Gakibald-i has demanded the dismissal of Ca voub . and Farini , and . that the qxiestions-at isstie will be left for the decision of the Parliament , which is shortly to assemble at Turin . In the absence of any definite information concerning the plans of Garibalpi and those of . Catouh , we can do no more than , express our deep regret that a ' serious collision should have occurred , if , indeed , the news is true ; In another article we have expressed opinions , which we share with others in London avIio are xisually well informed , that the handsome recognition of Garibaldi ' s campaign , which is made in the State Paper of Cavouk , might be taken as an indication of a happy approximation of the t ' w . o great men to whom Italy is so profoundly indebted ; and if the rupture has actually occurred , " no exertions should be spared to establish a just agreement . Italy has no statesman , like Cavouk , and no hero like Gakibaldi . They both desire to reach the same goal ; the friends of each sl ^ ild prevent estrangement from taking place . .

    ITALIAN LEADERS AND QUARRELS . W E cannot overrate the merit of Garibaldi , the " happy warrior , " whom " every man in arms would wish to be , " the * simple-minded patriot who adds the mildness of our own a ° -e to the grandeur of heroic times , but we must not forget the honour due to Cavouk , and we are reminded that the statesman has a necessary and noble task to perform by the publication of a memorandum addressed by King- Victor Emman itel . to his representatives at foreign courts . In this able document the position of Italy is plainly set forth , and in whatever country it is read , if will excite enthusiasm for the greatest cause of our times , and admiration for the government , that , undeterred by diplomatic threats , and not dismayed by the immense military preparation of Austria , has had the courage to step forth again as the champion of Italian rights , and the honesty to avow the objects which it seeks to accomplish , and the principles upon which its proceedings are carried on .

    Count Cavour . reminds Europe what the Peace of Villafranca accomplished , and what it left undone . It left parts of North and Central Italy able to control their own affairs , and " if this transformation could have been extended to the whole of the Peninsula , the Italian question would by this time have been entirely settled , " but , as the Count adds , " unhappily the Peace of Villafranca could only include a portion of Italy . It left Venetia under the domination of Austria , and it produced no change in Central Italy , nor in the provinces ^ remaining under the temporal domination of the Holy See . " For the present , the Sardinian minister tells us he has no intention of discussing the position of Venetia , — " it will suffice for us to be solved

    call to mind , that as long as this question shall not , Europe cannot enjoy a solid and sincere peace . " But although Europe is not yet quite ready for a movement to liberate Venice , at perhaps the expense of a general war , Count Cavour asserts that no such scruples can affect Central and Southern Italy , and after recapitulating the inefficacious efforts made by various Cabinets to induce a reform in the Neapolitan States , he adds , " -what justice and reason could not obtain , a revolution has accomplished—a prodigious revolution , which has filled Europe with astonishment , by th , e almost providential manner in which it has been accomplished , and excited its admiration Jb rtha illustrious tvarrfor whose glorious exploits recal all the most ioo ? idrous deeds recorded in poetry or history . "

    It will strengthen the Sardinian Government , not only throughout Italy , but all over Europe , that it has thus identified itself with GaribaIdi . Count Oavouii never did a wiser thing- than when ho thus endorsed the national sentiment by joining in the acclamations which on nil sides greet the hero of the occasion , and dissipated all the idle stories of personal jealousy and political disunion . By this manly and judicious conduct the name of Victow Emmanuej , is thoroughly harmonised with tho aspirations o f the Italian

    people , and ropublioan movements are prevented by being rendered unnecessary ; -whereas , if there had been any discrepancy between tho action of the Court of Turin and the thoroughly popular aohipvments of Garibaldi , aorious disunion and consequent disorder must have boon the result . Satisfied of the good fnxth of Victor ISmbiajkuei , and his groat minister , and devoutly believing in tho patriotic devotion and military genius of Garibaldi , Vcmetia will patiently wait until her turn oomoe ; but the Roman States could not wait any longer , and it was high time to put an , end to tho

    unsatisfactory position which , out of deference to European Governments * the cabinet of Sardinia had assuined . If it did not approve of Garibaldi ' s plans it / could not deserve the support of -the . Italians and the admiration of the world . If it did sympathise with that . great man , who appears as the incarnation of Italian liberty , it was bound to do his work in the Roman . States , and not permit the communication between the north and south to be cut off , and scenes of massacre and ferocity to be enacted by the unprincipled mercenaries which the Pope had summoned to . his aid . It would have been better if Cavour ' s avowed approval of Ga : riba : li > i had not waited for his success , but great allowances must be made

    for the extremely difficult position of the Sardinian minister , and due praise awarded for the step he has now taken , which we can only regard as having hecn . contemplated from the beginning , if circumstances should render it advisable . Count Cavour is justly severe in his animadversions on the Papal ( Government . He complains of its having declined to take any part in the national movement , and of its placing itself" in open hostility with the populations which have not succeeded in throwing off its yoke . " To keep them down , he says , it lias made an improper use of its spiritual power , and through its obstinate persistance in misconduct , "it has been referred to the Roman States to offer in our century

    the strange and sad spectacle of a Government reduced to maintain its authority over its subjects by means of foreign mercenaries , blinded by fanaticism , or excited by bait of promises which could not be fulfilled , except by throwing whole populations into distress . " Such facts could not fail to provoke the indignation of Italians , as Count Cavour explains ; and it was obvious that the " revolution having triumphed at Naples , could not be stopped'at the frontier of the Roman . States ; " Under such circumstances Victor Emmanuel ' s Government could not , by remaining passive , practically desert the Italian cause , and permit the opposing forces of Italian action and Papal reaction to deluge ; the centre of the land with needless carnage , arid introduce elements of disorder that could not be controlled ,

    These arguments appear to us unarissverable , and no one will question them who does not wish to stop the Italian movement before it has reached its legitimate result . The memorandum assures those whom it may coneez-n that the Sardinian troops will respect Rome and the territory which surrounds it , and concludes by expressing a hope that the spectacle of national unanimity will convert the Pope , by reminding him that , he was some years ago " its sublime inspirer . " Success has happily attended the first movements . of the Sardinian army , and ClALDija has proved a better general than Lamoktciere ; whose division of his forces was singularly unwise . The victory near Ancona may prove the turningpoint of the struggle , and the Pope had better take the hint to be off .

    For the general comfort and progress of humanity we hope that he will be obstinate to the last . As a political system . Popery is fundamentally connected with despotism and inimical to the spread of knowledge and the recognition of human right ; and Pio Nono will be , by force of the opposition he will excite , a greater reformer than Luthbr , if he will only be owlish and mulish to the end of his days . To our way of thinking . Anttonelli is a model minister for such a government ; and Lamokiciere . with his band of mercenaries , forms a fitting guard . ^ _ .. . „ 1 rancis

    By all means let the Papacy he firmly wedded to < Joseph , and let it canonize both Bomiia and Bombalina . In former times evil ^ powers have stood together for common safety . Let them now adhere for common destruction . A Pope with temporary occupation of a palace and a , garden , which he preserves by help of French bayonets , out of the ruins of a sovereignty , which his own political crimes have lost , will be an instructive sight ; and the chair of St . Pjstek supported by Zouaves , will be a spectacle of superstition in dotage whjich ridicule can kill .
