EXPEDITION OF GARIBALDI

.The Corriere Mercantile publishes the following proclamation'to the Neapolitan Army, issued by Garibaldi:— : i ■ Foreign insolence reigns over Italian ground, in ; consequence of Itaian discord. But on thedaythalt, the sons of the Samnites and Martii, united' with their brethrenjof Sicily, shall join the Italiana ofthe North, on that day our Nation, of which you are the. ' finest part, shall resume its place, as in former times, among the first, nations of Europe. 'I, an Italian solvdier, only aspire to see you drawn upside by side with these soldiers of Varese and San Martino, .in order jointly to fight against the enemies of Italy! . .■-■•■'• G. Garibaldi. The following is to the inhabitants of Naples:— . ~.•:.-. It is.time for you to imitate the magnanimous example of Sicily by rising against the most impious of tyrranies.: To the peijured and bloodthirsty race that has so long trampled upon you let the'free government succeed, which 11,000,000 of Italians how enjoy; and substitute for the foul Bourbon flag the glorious tricolor—the happy symbol of national independence and unity without which true and durable liberty is Impossible. Your brethren of the North desire nothing more than to see you join in the Italian family. G. Garibaldi. G. Riociabdi. BabonStocco.. One to the Sicilians is as follows :— Sicilians!—l have brought you a body of brave men •who have hastened to reply to the heroic cry of Sicily. ■"We, the remains of the battles of Lombardy, are with you-^all we ask is the freedom of our' land, United, . the work will be easy and short. To arms, then! He who does not snatch up a weapon is * coward or a traitor to his country. Want of arms is no excuso. We shall get muskets, but for the present, any wea- . pon will do in the hands of a brave man. The ma- . nicipalities shall provide for the children,' women and old men deprived of their support. To aims, all of you 1 Sicily shall once more teach the world how a_ country can be freed from its oppressors by the powerful will of a united people. • . ..;.-. G..Garibaldi. .'•: From the following one it would appear that if was*. Garibaldi's intention id commence opera- ■ tions in-the Roman Sates, a plan whioh must Lave been frustrated by the vigilance: of the Sardinian Government:—• ' - ■•■ ;: ■ i': : April 30. Romans!— To-morrow you will hear the priests of Lamoriciere say that some Mussulmans have invaded ' your territory." Well, these Mussulmans are the same • ■who fought ibr Italy at Monte Video, at Rome, and ! •: in Lombardy :, the same whom you will mention to your children .with pride when the day shall come ■which by freeing you from the tyranny of the stran : '; ger and the priest, will leave you free to enjoy recollections; the same who for a moment yielded to ther • numerous and warlike soldiers of Buonaparte, but who yielded only, with their; brows. turned towards jthe enemy, and pledging themselves to return to the fight, and not to leave their children any other legacy' tut that of hatred to oppressors. Yes, these coinpjanions of mine fought outside your walls, by the side, .of Minara, Melana, Hasina, Mamell, Daverio, Peralla,. ; Panizzi, Rcmorino, Danieli, Montaldi, and so many t 1 other brave Romans who how sleep near your catacombs; and' whom 'you buried yourselves, because . ■wounded in front: Our enemies are both' astute and. powerful, but we tread the land of the ScssvolaS; the Horatii, and the Ferracios; our cause is the cause'ofall Italians. , Our war-cry is the same which was heard at'Varese and Como: 'Italy and Victor Eman- ' 1 uel !'■ and you Itriow that with us, whether fallen or":, conquorors, Italian honor is safe. :: ::■ "i .: , G. Garibaldi, General of . the Romans appointed ' , 'by a Government elected :! ■: ■; .■'< ft :.by universal-suffrage. The Italian- National Society has also issued ■ from Turin, a circular to its friends in foreign countries. '; The following is a ; transition :-r ,-■ Sicily lias risen against her young tyrant, who; dii. ■! "reefed by the' Jesuits, consents 'to massacre his 'subjects in the most atrocious manner, sparing neither . women nor: children nor old men. ■ The Italian National1 . Society would .beliefs past, history if.it did .not en--deavor, by every possible means, to aid the numerous . ' victims of the Bourbon of Naples. It has;consequently opened a subscription in all its committees; and on the • first day it succeeded in collecting a >siun of 50,000? • i francs; but to enable:the Sicilians .to, continue}; the struggle against a regular army, "excited' ; to carnage ISy all sorts of bribes, they musi; have arms, munitions; and provisions. :'■ ''■ *■' With this object the society makes an<appeal to the liberals .of all countries: it begs them, to, found com- ' ■ mittees for, soliciting and receiving subscriptions in "favorof a people which" has been driven to insurree-, tion by the severest and mogt abject absolutism,' and 'which desires'to form' A part of a' free atnd intfependerifc Italy. ■ The faithful of the different, states1 ofEurope, at,the instigation of their bishops, are send-; Ing money to Rome for the purpose of subduing by r cannon and muskets, and bringing again under the Papal yoke the Legations,-which have succeeded in freeing themselves. Liberals ought, to imitate their1 example by coming to the-aid of the Sicilian insurgents. . ■,','■'■' The Central Committee at Turin undertakes to • convey to them the1 succour thus obtained, and the .■ weekly paper of the Society will record the names ~of the generous donors. , A beginning has already been made, at Glasgow; but the Liberals of France, of Bel gium, of Germany, and' of Sweden ought'hot to be behind those of England in a work which highly concelrns the liberty of all peoples, for the fall of the despotic Government in Sicily will involve ;that of many others and the Sicilians, when they have broken their, own,, chains, will not fail to acquit themselves of their debt, of gratitude foi'the' benefit of other peoples who may have risen in a caijse.Biinilar to their own. • VEaEizzi Rdscalla.

(The Paine gives the following version :-~ rMost serious news has arrived by telegraph from Southern Italy. ; Garibaldi's expedition has succeeded in raising all Sicily. The royal troops hold nothing but the fortresses of Palermo and Messina; It is said that the insurrection has; broken out simultaneously in Calabria, which- is only separated, from Sicily by the Straits of Messioa. A third insurrection, combined withi two others, is also said to have taken place in the Abruzzis,' on the" borders of the Roman State. It is rumoured that the French squadron of evolution1 is abotit to sail for Naples, in order to protect French residents <in the kingdom of the two Sicilies. : ■ ;
