Hp-HE friends of Italian liberty have » y - I o-rams Announcing that Garibaldi has demanded the dismissal of Cavoub and FA-tfciijr , and that the questions at issue 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 Gatiibaldi and those of -Gavotte , we can do no more than express out 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 . who ¦ . are usually well informed , that the handsome recognition of ({ akibaldi ' s campaign , ¦ ¦ which is made in the State Paper of Gavouk , might be taken as an indication of a happy approximation of the two 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 Gaeibaldi . They both desire to reach the . same goal ; the friends of each should prevent estrangement from taking place . . ..

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 bur own acre to the grandeur of heroic times , but we must not forget the honour due to Gavour , 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 . at foreicourtsTn this able
Emmanitel to his representatives gn . . document the position of Italy is plainly set forth , and in whatever country it is read , it will excite enthusiasm lor 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 . what the of Villa
Count Cavoub reminds Europe Peace - franca 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 , " , 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 domination of the Hol " I the
under the temporal y See . or present , the Sardinian minister tells us he has no intention of discussing the position of Venetia , — " it will suffice for us to call to mind , that as long as this question shall not be solved , 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 Buch 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 , obtain
he adds , " what justice and reason could not , a revolution has accomplished—a prodigious revolution , which has filled Europe with astonishment , by the almost providential manner in which it has been accomplished , and excited its admiration for the illustrious warrior whose glorious exploits recal all the most wondrous deeds recorded in poetry or history : ' It will strengthen the Sardinian Government , not only throughout Italy , but nil over Europe , that it has thus identified itself with Garibaldi . C ount Cavoub never did a wiser thing than when ho thus endorsed the national sentiwhich all sides
ment by joining" in the acclamations on greet the h , ero " of the o ccasion , and dissipated all the idle stories ol personal jealousy and political ditmnion . By this manly and judicious conduct the name of Viotok Emmanvkj , is thoroughly'harmonised with the aspirations of tho Italian people , and republican movement * aro prevented by being rendered unnecessary ; whereas , if there had been any discrepancy between the a ction of the Court of Turin and the thoroughly popular aohiovments of CtAbiiiai-di , serious disunion and consequent disorder must have boon , tho result , Satisfied of tho cood faith of Vicjpott JiMKAKfuai und hiw
unsatisfactory position which , out of deference to Europeai Governments , the cabinet of Sardinia had assumed . . If i 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 hound to do his work ir 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 Cavoitr ' s avowed approval of Gabibaxdi 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 stop he has now taken which we can only regard as having heen 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 heaving 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 jroke . " To keep them down , he saysit has made an improper use of its spiritual power ,
, and through its obstinate persistence in- misconduct , "it has been reserved to the Roman Stat es 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 , and introduce elements of disorder that could not be controlled . These arguments appear to us unanswerable ; 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 concern 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 Cialihni has proved a better general than Lamortc ' ieee , whose division of his forces was singularly unwise . The victory near Ancona may prove the turningpoint of the struggle , and tho 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 .
Poperv 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 Luthkr , if he will only be owlish and mulish to the end of his days . To our way of thinking Antonetxi is a model minister for auch a government and Lamokiciekk . with his band of mercenaries , forms
a fitting guard . ' By all means let the Papacy be firmly wedded to Francis Joseph :, and let it canonize both Bomb a . and Bombat-ima . 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 pa ) ace antl a garden , which he preserves by help of French buyonets , out of the ruins of a sovereignty , which his own political crimes have lost , will be an instructive sight ; und tho chair of St . Petku supported by Zouavos , will be u spectacle of suppr . stition in dotage which ridicule enn kill .
great minister , and devoutly believing in tho patriotici devotion and military genius of Garibaldi , Vonotm will putiently wait until her turn comes ; but the Roman States could not wait any longer , and it was high time to put an end to the
