ITALY.

The Italian revolt is over. Garibaldi, followed by 20,000 adherents, landed in Calabria Meleto, and advanced upon Regi^o; but the Government anticipated his movement, us Reggio wns strongly garrisoned. He then altered his course, and took up a position in the gorges of Aspromonti, a place difficult of access, and affording natural means of defence. There he was attacked by the Royal troops, under Colonel Pallavacino. Garibaldi ordered his men not to fire, and advanced to the brow of the hill alone, while the Royalists were swarming up to the attack, and cried out, " Viva el Re; viva la liberta." While doing this three voilejs were fired at him.' 'He was shot in the aucle by a builet, and received a bayonet wound when he fell. A sharp conflict took place, but the- Garibaldians were defeated and taken prisoners, all the defiles being guarded. . Garibaldi was immediately afterwards spnfc to Spezzia, attended by two distinguished physicians. His son, Menotci Garibaldi, was also wounded. Garibaldi's English friends subscribed L7OO to enable an eminent English surgeon (Dr Partridge) to go to Spezzia, and offer his professional aid, lest the Italian experts who destroyed Cavour should now be equally unfortunate. The Italian Minister for Foreign Affairs has produced great sensation by a circular, declaring that Garibaldi's policy and watchword— viz., "Rome or Death"—expresses the necessity of the nation. Garibaldi's health is improving. He is said to Have accepted an invitation to join the Federal cause iv America.
