    Garibaldi is not the man to fail in keeping such a promise as that lie had given , to be at Naples by Saturday . Accordingly that day saw the liberating general in the city * having seen the last of the last of the Bourbons . Of King Bombalino it cannot bo said , as Cicero said of Oataline , ne has rushed forth , he has saUied out , " &c . Such energetic ^ expressions are inapplicable to the pusillanimous slinking away , the pitiful skulking into safe distance and retreat , the despicable , evaporating into ^ foul air , which has iust taken place . If the King of Naples had not been ^ iven him the benefit of doubt

    cruel as he was , charity might have g a . , and ascribed his withdrawal to a distaste for bloodshed , and the horrors of a hand to hand struggle in a populous town . . But this favourable construction of his present conduct is precluded by his . former acts . The antecedents of this truly royal personage shut out all such good natured conclusions . Several brigades of the Neapolitan army had 2-one over to Garibaldi . The King ' s intention of sending his fleet to Trieste , and placing it at the di&posal of Austria was baffled by the opposition of the very men who officered and manned it , as well as that of his own ministers . In the Eoman States , we learned as last week revolted

    closed and the present opened , that various localities had , and at Pesaro the Pope ' s troops had met with reverses . Victor Emmanuel had been proclaimed at Urbino , and had received invitations of protection from the Marches which , had been entered by the luscan Volunteers , while powerful forces were on the move from Turin towards the South . We have throughout ,. and long , before such an event was generally anticipated , * sought to familiarise the public with that view of the question , in which the "flight" of the King of Naples was to be regarded as merely a question of time . Another ¦ point we have Urged , and again recur to , is that every great power in the world that is really favourable to the liberal cause , sho . uld ' unite in insisting that all States movement

    whatsoever abstain from interfering to oppose the liberal now so gloriously progressing in Italy . ' , . , ¦ v ^ The first acts of Garibaldi after entering Naples , which by the way , he did alone , merely being attended by his staff , and the population greeting him with themost confirmed enthusiasm i consisted in making arrangements for the maintenance of order ; lie appointed Cosenz miijister of wari and PisaneUi , minister of justice , retaining Eomano as minister of the interior , placing the police under v the direction . Arditi , « giving the command of the fleet to Admiral Persano . He then discovered and suppressed what is described as . " ¦ a National Committee illegally constituted , " though the fact is , that the ordinary forms of law must necessarily be siispended under the circumstances . Having provided for the safety and tranquillity of the place , the General proceeded to proclaim Victor Emmanuel King of Italy , the capitulation of the forts being left a mere question of time . Meanwhile the King " kept moving" towards Spain .

    With regard to the Roman States there appeared good reason to believe that France had been guilty of the . gross inconsistency of setting her veto on any " intervention" in favour of liberty on the part oi Sardinia . France , who had been doing nothing but " interfere in the cause of despotism in Borne for years past . Lainoricier . e , not even a " legitimate , " ho wever wrongful an agent , like the imperial forces , but a paera adventurer , was to beat libetty to " interfere , " to the extent of sacking and burning all the towns that asserted their freedom , and to put their inhabitants to the sword , and Victor Eirianuel was forbidden to Interpose the shield of protection . Lamorioiere might " interfere to destroy , but the King of Sardinia must not " interfere " to save . Such is the logic of imperial diplomacy . difficulties reached that the

    lending these Italian " , " news us Emperors of Austriaand Russia could no longor . resist the gravitating force of sympathy , and finding " estrangement no longer tolerable , were to be sw ^ m friends again , " Behold it is gdpd for brothers to dwoil together in unity , " If tho converse of tho proverb that " when a certain olass of agents fall out , honest folks may come by thenown , "—be true , ' " honest folks" had better look out just now . We ventured to suggest that the " official denial'V by Austria ot the soft impeachment " that she had been trying } to concoct a coalition against France , would be appreciated ot its true value , and this subsequent intelligence is very significant . i "Xn

    Jntelligenoe purporting to be of an oflloial character informs us that Austria will abstain frpm interference en behalf of the system that is fast passing away in Italy , provided her own territories are not specifically attached } preparations of a military naturo , and on a large scalp , but eaid tp be entirely of a defensive character , arc being energetically TjroBoquted .. It , hois been said that Sardinia with , the ceno urrenoe ot France , baa . demanded that tho foreign mercenaries on the Roman States , be disbanded 3 and . that in case pf refusal a , Sardinian army will at , once be put in mption . tp enforce ) oempliarioe . Tho ambassadprs ox Kuasia , Prussia , and Austria , followed in the Ring ' s foptsteps tp Gaetaj but the French minister at Naploa , Barpn , Promiieiy has been recalled , wiiiah seems tp indicate a divergence pf pplicy between tho first three

    states on the pne hand and tho last mentioned on the other . It seems that tho " vanished" king was advisecl from Vienna tp seek an asylum in one pf the German ; courts . We havo Binoo hoarclthat the appeal fsv protection pf TTmbria and the Marcos to Yiotor Emmanuel haB received a noble ayid energetic response , in tho advent to these , districts in f&w of , devastation with fire and sword , massacre , plunder , Vapo , and all tho abomiqatipns . perpetrated by a ^ leas SandittL hounded on by tho fiercest Btimul V offluppr 8 Ution , ~ . pf 25 , 000 sSian troops , to be followed by 86 , 000 more .

    The liberation of ai larger portion pf Europe than Italy , where the movement has now commenced under such favourable auspices , seems ho longer a question of . time . In Hungary , Croatia , and Dalmatia , aspirations of freedom are being manifested . The state of the Austrian Exchequer is well known , and latent disaffection pervades even her German provinces . _ ,,,, ' . Switzerland wants the passes of the Simplon fortified , and that a strip of territory about half a dozen miles in width be interposed between the French position and the Waters of Geneva , by way of keeping France at arms length ; but this France is too affectionate to assent to , and is resolved upon a tete-a-tete with Switzerland , who is appealing to Europe for a separation . ¦ ' , _ ' ¦'' ^ ¦ j , _ . , have from two potentateswho

    Some very important utterances come , at the present time sustain perhaps the most active of the leading parts in the great European drama which is rapidly approaciiing its catastrophe . Tho French Emperor has delivered himself at Marseilles of an address , which may be described as the newest variation on the theme that " the Empire is Peace . " And side by side with this " exposition " of Imperial views we have the address of Victor Emmanuol , of Sardinia , to his army , on the eve of departure Upon its " liberating " expedition , in which he repudiates all ambitious designs save those of establishing moral order in Italy , and preserving Europe frpru the continual dangers of revolution and war , and tales the opportunity of launching some terrible—because so truthful and so applicable—sarcasms at the mild regime of St . Peter ' s representative . It appears to be settled that "the Russian serfs , to the number of 15 , 000 , 000 , are to be enfranchised before next Christmas . The address of the King of Sardinia to his troops prior to their entry in the Marches is of such importance that we give it in extenso .. It is

    as follows : — . . . ' .. " Soldiers J Y 6 ua : re about to enter the Marches and TJmbria , m order to estafelish civil order in the towns now desolated by misriile , and to give to the people the h'berty of expressing their own wishes . You vvill not fight against the armies of any of the Powers , but will free those unhappy Italian provinces from the bands ' of foreign adventurers which infest them ; You do not go to revenge injuries done to me and to Italy , bivt to prevent . the popular hatred from unloosing itself against the oopressors of the country . . - » . "By your ' example you will teach the people forgiveness of offences , and Christian tolerance to the man who compared the love of the Italian JFatherlandto Islamism . . . _ ¦•

    " At peace with all the great Powers , and holding myself aloof from any provocation , I intend to rid Central Italy of one continual cause of trouble and discord . I intend to respect the seat of the Chief of the Church , to Whom lam ever ready to give , in accordance with the allied and friendly Powers , all the guarantees of independence and security which his misguided advisers have in vain hoped to obtain for him from the fanaticism of the wicked sect which conspires against my authority and against the liberty of the nation . ct Soldiers ! I am accused of ambition . Yes ; I have one ambition , and it is to re-establish the principles of moral order in Italy , and to preserve Europe from the continual dangers of revolution and war . "
