December 7th.–A visit to the Garibaldi Guard with some of the Englishry, and an excellent dinner at the mess, which presented a curious scene, and was graced by sketches from a wonderful polyglot chaplain. What a company!–the officers present were composed as follows:–Five Spaniards, six Poles and Hungarians, two Frenchmen–the most soldierly-looking men at table–one American, four Italians, and nine Teutons of various States in Germany.
A polyglot dinner.—William Howard Russell’s Diary.
