SARDINIA. (From the Correspondent of the Evening Eupressl) Turin, May 14! ' Our government has sent orders to the garrisons in Central Italy to march rapidly towardsthe Pontifical frontier. At the same tim 4it sent orders yesterday to Genoa to embark one, regiment of infantry and one battalion of bjersaglieri, to be followed by other forces. j Two small sailing ships, having on board .a part of Garibaldi's ammunition, were unablej to overtake the expedition, the steamers having started ,a day before. It' was chiefly because Garibaldi was in waut of percussion caps aiod cartridges that he touched at Telamone, but there he found all that he wanted ,t© complete his armament. After his departure five thousand more volunteers pirived, who strongly ' wished to follow him, but were unable to procure the means of transport. It appears- that the conversation between Count Cavour and the French envoy resident here, whiob.,l reported to you "yesterday, has been approvingly regarded by the French ,Govern : '; ment, for fo&fimstitvjliQnnel ia an ajticle ?> the purport of which has been telegraphed here this
morning, is favorable to the "Count, and 'appre-* ciates the force of some of those considerations which Count Cavour submitted- to the judgment of Baron Talerand. „' Genoa, May 14. < Yesterday the people of the city commemorated the Statute granted in 1848 by Charles Albert. In spite of bad weather the affair went off with enthusiasm. But among the more thoughtful citizens some anxiety was apparent in consequeuce of a report that Lamorioiere had crossed the frontier, and that a threatening movement had been made by the Austrians on the Banks both of the Mincio and the Po. These rumours were partly confirmed by the faot the evening before the cavalry regiment " Nice " (a rather derisive name after the cession of that uoble city) was suddenly ordered [to march'to Tuscany, Later in the day it was known that the garrisons of Florence, Lucoaj, Piaa, and Leghorn had already been ordered to ! Rimini, La'Oattolica, and Terra del Sole, i. e\. to the extreme frontier of the Marche. The apprehension of the Genoese was further mr creased this morning by the arrival of a Sardinian grenadier regiment from Milan, and its departure for Leghorn by the Tanarb and Dora steamboats. Although I am not inclined to give much credit to the rumour that General Lamoiriofere has actually crossed the froutier' of both the Legations and Tuscany, there is little .doubt that he has ordered a forward movement in those directions. The presence of Garibaldi and his Cacciatori delle Alpi on the Roman coasts of the Mediterranean must have undoubtedly produced a great amount of agitation amongst the populations of the Papal dtates, and increased the apprehensions of official people at Rome. Hence the forward movement of the small Roman army, towards the frontier. , The Sardinian Government, informed by telegrams, both from Rimini and Arezzo, of this movement, took the necessary precautions with activity and firmness. Now that the news has reached us that Garibaldi actually succeded in landing in the neighborhood of Mar-ala during , the night of the 12th and 13th, we have reason ito expect that the warlike intentions of General Lamoriciere will be at once discontinued, and , all danger of attaok, at least for the moment, , averted. If Garibaldi bad set foot on the Papal States, the most alarming complications would have arisen—complications which might even have proved fatal to the Sardinian Government. As you may suppose, the news of Garibaldi's landing has produced a great sensation in this city, and I have no doubt that new expeditions will sail, either from Genoa or from some other seaports of this kingdom. The followiug is the letter of the Times' Paris correspondent, dated the 17th May, (Thursday), 6 p.m. :— - I am assured that private despatches from Rome announce positively that General Goyon had received orders to evacuate that city ; and that the first1 battalion was to march either last night or the night before to Civita Vecohia. 1 may observe that this order had been also given some days back, and countermanded, and a second countermand is certainly possible. , The Mediterranean fleet that had been ordered to proceed to the coast of Sicily since ' the news of the landing of the Garibaldians has also, I hear, been countermanded. The 5000 Piedmontese embarked at Genoa are, it appears, not intended for Sicily, but for Orbitello, in Tusoany, close to the Roman States. j Orders have been sent to M. Cavour to hasten and make his Parliament vote the pro-; ject of annexation of Savoy. The voting must be got through aupas de charge, whether the deputies like it or not; and little .time lost in making speeches, or nonsense of that kjnd.;,,. I remarked, two or three days a^b, th'ajb. the" circumstances of General de Lamoriciere having taken service at Rome, had a certain influence in inducing Garibaldi to hasten'his projects/ and make his; attempt before the' preparations' to opposel Italian unity • were completed— the' Union at once declares that the supposition is perfectly correct:— * Yea, it says, General de* Lamoriciere 'represents and: defends all that General Garibaldi attacks and insults, The latter is the real and Hying expression of, armfed revolt, of hatred to all authority, of spoliating ambition;' and of uncontrolled anarchy. Tile1 former is the real : and living personification of; order in Europe, of justice, and of sovereignty in their' most august and most sacred 'type, of the.independence 'of.'nations,' rind of liberty of conscience; of. public right at Rome as well of authority jn. the ,wo?ld.r. -Ip ;aj-word,; Garibaldi is th,e torch of revolution, while Lamoriciere ia: the; sword of Christian civilisation.' Between those ,two men, those two ideas, those two-principles,- there is an opposition to. the;last; extremity; ; Garibaldi ■■ has not,.: however, had the courage to.offer,- battle to r Lamoriciere ; revolution has be,en afraid of him whoso heroicsally conquered it in-the terrible days ofJune. But; what a scandalous perversion of situations and. of ideas have the old Conservatives of that day—thpse.,yery ( personsr .who' hailed Lamoriciere as the saviour of social order'^now become the complacent:defenders•• and panegrists of Garibaldi, of the man who rfiredloiv the'Frencb soldiers, of the chief of the insurgents; of Rome?'
