GARIBALDI'S MOVEMENTS.
(From (he European Tpme§, Msy )&i) The most important newg wJuq!} gQejout by this mail is the fat.e of $*e gxpe? clition under Garibaldi, >yhq fracj ]&ngc4 with his followers on ths jSjciljan. v co.a,s,s at Marsala, a place fampus f()V ih WSfii It was previously known tha.t j&e $lijps.

"were killed in landing, and it adds that other supplies of arms, which came from the Levant, for the use of the insurgents had previously arrived on the southern coast of Sicily. The forces under Garibaldi are not believed to amount to more than 1200 or 1400 men. If the landing has been effected with nothing beyond the loss here indicated, the probability is that the Neapolitan rule of the present dynasty is drawing to a close-. On Monday a report was circulated in Paris to the effect that every man who had set foot in Sicily was killed by the Royal troops; but the statement came from the Neapolitan Embassy, and was not credited What imparts additional interest to this struggle is, the new attitude which France has assumed arising out of it. A French regiment, on its way home from Lombardy, has been ordered to do " garrison duty" at Genoa, and Louis Napoleon is declared to have said that, if the Sardinian Ministers did not knowhow to manage their own police, it was high time for the French to show them the Avay. This new movement cannot fail to seriously complicate the Italian question, the settlement of which a short time back appeared to bo so smooth and satisfactory. Count Cavour's declaration that he has done all in his power to defeat the plaas of the volunteers, and that he vras surprised at their departure, is hardly likely to produce conviction in certain quarters ; but it is remarked, on the other hand, that the French press is now speaking with respect and admiration of Garibaldi, — a proof, it is surmised, that he is in favour at present with the higher authorities at the Tuileries. But whatever may befall the Government of the Two Sicilies, it has only to thank itself for the perilous position in which it is now placed. Two or three years back the Western powers urged the necessity of concession on the late king, but the advice was received with insult, and the new ruler is treading in the abominable policy of his father. A short time will reveal strange incidents.
