THE ROMAN QUESTION. A letter from Rome, dated the 23rd inst., says : The Pope continues remarkably well, and may often be seen on his afternoon drive. On Monday he gave audience to Baron Pycke, the new Bel gian Minister, who afterwards, according to cus tom, visited Cardinal Antonelli. Earlier in the day, being the dedication of St. Peter's, the Holy Father heard Mass in St. Peter's, and was present at the exposition of the greater relics which takes place on that day, attended by the Palatine Cardi na2s, that is, those who, by their office, are entitled to rEsidence in one of the Pontifical palaces. On Tuesday he visited the Hospital of the Fate bene fratelli, in the Isola San Bartolomeo, where there are about thirty convalescent soldiers, among them Mr. Laroque, a Canadian, wounded in the face at Atmtana. On O Thursday I met him walking down the Corso ; he got into his carriage opposite San Marcello. Among the loyal cries that greeted him I heard Evviva Pio IX. chi ha battuto l'ltalia !" The Osserratore Romano and the Giornale di Roma go on publishing every day a list of voluntary sub. scriptions collected at the office of the paper, from the townspeople of Rome, for the three objects of —(1), the general support of the Papal army ; (2), the special care of the wounded; and (3) restitu tion for damage suffered by the people of Mentana and Monte Rotondo. It is a good sign that the Romans not only give to this object, but fearlessly send their names with their offerings. The dinner to the returned prisoners of the Papal army, announced in my last, went off very successfully on Sunday. It was served at twelve o'clock in the grand sala of the Palazzo Barberini, one of the finest rooms in Europe, and which the Emperor Joseph 11. once drove round with three carriages-and-six. the vast height of the receding ceiling, painted by Pietro da Cortona, with subjects recording the glories of the noble family to whom the Palazzo belongs, gives it an air of peculiar magnificence. It was festively decorated for this occasion with wreaths and festoons of drapery. A bust of the Pope occupied the centre of one side wall, and opposite was the following inscription, showing the objects of the banquet :—" To the valiant defenders of Monte Rotondo on the days of the 25th and 26th of October; strong in their military bearing, stronger still by their noble constancy in suffering all the horrors of an irapri- sonment'glorious in its attendant circumstances — the volunteers and citizens of Rome unite their testimonies of esteem and gratitude." In the centre of the hall was a round table on which was reared a stately trophy' of palm-branches and weapons of war. Round this sat the sixteen officers of the lately-captive band, and with them Marchese Patrizzi and two other members of the Committee of Romans who have taken on them selves the care of looking after all the wants of the troops. Long tables were ranged all around the room for the men, a little over 300 in num bers, leaving ample space for the easy circulation of the number of Romans and foreigners, patri cian and plebeian, who flocked in to wait on the guests, and by their presence attest their gratitude to their brave defenders. The repast, which, be it remarked by the way was simply called a dejeuner a la fourchette, was really a diner complet, accompanied by abundance of champagne and other wines. The fine band of the Gendarmi played various airs at intervals. Towards the close of the meal General Kanzler pro-ministro delle armi, and Colonel d'Argy, Com mandant of the Roman Legion, came in, and were received with right soldierly cheers. Marchese Patrizzi made a short speech in eulogy of the bravery of the troops, to which Captain Costa, of the Roman Legion, who commanded the garrison at Monte Rotondo, responded, expressing in a few well turned phrases his gratitude for the solemn testimony of esteem rendered to the troops under his command, concluding with these words—" It is but little we have done, but we promise you another time our arms will be found yet stronger in the defence of the Holy Father and his sacred rights ;" and he proposed the health of the Papa Re, and of the Roman people present, which wa3 honoured with the most enthusiastic acclamations. General Kanzler also said a few earnest words. " When Rome was harassed by the menace of an army of assassins (sicarii) surrounding her very walls, all the valour of her little garrison would not have sufficed to distance their hordes but for the fidelity and loyal beaming of her people, and without the co-operation of the elect band of distinguished citizens who so readily took up arms in defence of the Holy See. Allow me, therefore, to propose a toast (brindisi) to the health of the people of Rome, and especially of those generous ones who so worthily represented them throughout the late critical circumstances." When the party broke up and dispersed along the Piazza Barberini, hundreds crowded round to press the hands of their brave defenders. The same evening there was another festive gathering among the military. The French officers returned the entertainment given them on their arrival here by the Pontificals by inviting them in turn to meet in the Casino of their Head Quarters in the Piazza Colonna. The reunion was very brilliant and cordial. Two military bands, stationed on elevated loggie on either side of the Piazza, played concerted pieces alternately during the evening. At the close of the evening General de Failly proposed a toast to Pius IX. and the Ponti fical army, which was responded to by General Kanzler, who proposed in turn that of Napoleon 111. and the French army. Two more evidences of the complicity of the Italian Government in the late invasion have just come under my notice. A Roman gentleman I know was staying some few weeks ago at Calvi, where he has property. It is a place belonging to the Roman State, but situated a few miles within the new Italian frontier. He tells me that when the Garibaldini came through there they were billeted regularly like soldiers at the rate of five on each family ; on himself, of course, like the rest. The other was at Monte Rotondo a day or two ago, and is equally worth mention. The thousands of muskets left behind in their flight by the Gari baldians were being tied up in bundles. A French soldier on duty pointed out to me that these were old French guns which the Italian Government had purchased of the French at the close of the Crimean War ! In leaving these masses of arms the invaders have left a sting behind, for many of them would appear to be still loaded and under the careless handling of the men who were binding them up. One went off and shot a poor fellow in the crowd dead on the spot, wounding another. I had certainly heard them myself repeatedly warned by the soldiers on guard not to stand in the way of possible casualties. The Garibaldians have left no good impression on the people of the place. "Oh ! what agonies of fear we have gone through !" said a lovely, dark haired woman to me, who with her blue-eyed boy in her arms, his little chubby head covered with golden curls, might have sat as a pose to Raffael for a Madonna. " All this was a fortnight ago, and yet I have scarcely had courage to eat a morsel since." " Well," I said, " it's all right now ; you've got a garrison and you are all safe." " Ah !" she replied, "the Eccellenza doesn't know what such terror is—what it is to have your house suddenly taken possession of by a parcel of armed men, and then time after time, all day long, to have a pistol at your head while they storm at you—' give us something to eat !' And what are you to do when you have nothing, and they won't listen to a word, and only shout you must bring them something to eat ? One does not get over such fears in a lifetime." At the Osteria mine host led me through his empty rooms. "There ! that's what the Garibaldini have done for me. All my beds gone ; all dragged out of the house, sent up to Rome with their wounded, or Heaven knows where, and I and my household have to sleep on this litter of straw." The vine -growers probably are the greatest sufferers of all. The autumn's wine is their for tune—their means of subsistence for the rest of the, year. The red wine of Monte Rotondo has a gNat reputation round Rollie, 0,11.4 fetches a good price. Now while the wine-presses outside every other house are yet moist with its manufacture, there is not a drop to be found in•the whole place, nor a single Monte Rotondo grape to be had for love or money. It is curious they did not try to conciliate the people and act a little more in accordance with their character of pretended " liberators." Some poor fellows, whose cattle they seized in the field by a heartless device, they pretended to pay with bills payable by the Garibaldian Government, to be established in Rome within a month's date ! On the other hand the ready kindness of the Roman committee for the wounded, without distinc tion between friend and foe, has had the best effect on the Garibaldians. In the dark of the night, and with the position of victor or vanquished to a cer tain extent undecided, an ambulance was promptly improvised in a wayside chapel, used for Mass for the shepherds, and some adjacent buildings. A quantity of clean straw and soft canna leaves were quickly spread within and around them, and all appliances had been brought out ready from Rome. Among the Garibaldian wounded prisoners here were two Englishmen. One is already off the sick list ; the other was thought at first to be the notorious " man-slayer" who follows Garibaldi everywhere ; but it has since been ascer tained his name is Scholey. He expresses him self (only equally with the rest, but the testimony of our own countrymen is always the most interesting), very well pleased with the care he receives. He was particularly struck with the rapid and masterly way in which the amputation of his hand was effected by the Italian operator, the whole work occupying but a minute and a half. His own fortitude on the terribly trying occasion was certainly no less noteworthy. He kept his eyes fixed on the surgeon's knife the whole time with perfect sang froid, and afterwards taking up the severed member he said to the infirmarian —" Well, I've had enough of it ; it has made me suffer pretty well. I'll make you a present of it now !" I am told 1,500 recruits have applied to be ad mitted into the Zouaves within the last few weeks. One certainly sees great numbers of them not yet in uniform, but dressed more or less in the na tional costume of their various countries, visiting the holy places under the guidance of one or more of the corps. In consequence of this increase of numbers, it is on the lapis to create a third battalion of Zouaves. Two Englishmen have been raised this week to the grade of corporal. One is Mr. Woodward, a young English gentlemen, who, with so many other generous minded youths, were not ashamed to place themselves in the ranks of so noble an army. The other, a young private named Shea, who has won golden opinions from all who have ohserved him, for his cool, steady courage, his accurate eyo in aiming, and his fine soldierly qualities. In the Trastevere affair he was seen, I am told, by another Zouave who was pre sent, to pick off five to his own share ; and his only complaint is, that though he has been in the thick of every encounter, he has never been able to get a scratch whereby to shed his blood for the Pope. The following appropriate epitaph has been written for young Watts Russell, whom 'mentioned in my last : Ileic ad Martyrum cryptas dormit in pace Julius Watts Russell Michaelis F. Anglusprreclaro genera qui. pro Petri Sede strenue dimicans in acie ad Mentanam occubriet 111. Non. Novemb. an. MDCCCLXVII. an. n. XVII. mens X Adolescens Christi miles Vive in Deo. It is by Padre Cardella, who has also drawn up a little account of his life and virtues, from which I extract a few lines. " A shake by the hand, and a Pater and Ave whispered together, such was the leave-taking between him and his brother, detained in Rome by illness, which had come upon him in the ser vice of the corps. With no more secular greet ing than this, they parted on the morning of the memorable 3rd of November, Julian having his knapsack already on his shoulders, ready to fall into line. It was the first time they had ever been separated, and within twenty-four hours the lot had fallen to the generous boy, to which he had offered himself up—to give his life-blood pro sede Petri. The day before, according to this wont, he had fortified his soul with the holy sacraments. He fought like hero; and as his comrades bear witness, he spoke little and prayed much. At the very beginning of the conflict, his cap was carried off by an enemy's ball. On several occasions :he was seen in positions of great danger, and at last, under Mentana, he fell mortally wounded by a ball which entered his right eye and lodged in the brain. The shot was aimed at him by a Gari baldian standing quite close lle was a general favourite ; respected by all by reason of the innocence of his life, and the goodness of his heart. One little trait will serve to illustrate his character better than any description. Some little time before, it happened that he had some words one day with his brother on an affair of no great importance. Instead of continuing to argue thel matter angrily, he said to him at last, Wilfrid let us kneel down and make an act of contrition, and then shake hands.' So said, so done, and thus ended holily their brief amantium irae. Ile who can thus conquer his own passions is safe to make a good soldier. . . ." It has been sought to diminish the number of prisoners in order to reduce the expense of their maintenance. The only condition exacted is that they shall undertake not to bear arms again against the Pope, and there are some from whom this is not easy to obtain. It might be more pru dent to detain them a little longer, till it is seen what the Garibaldians intend to do or attempt. ➢lazzini's circular, which you have had in the Daily News, is very inflammatory, and it is re ported that it has somehow been conveyed to the Mazzinian agents here, accompanied by secret instructions, recommending them to continue to agitate and disturb the quiet of the city in every way in their power, by bombs, explosions, &c. It is all very well to " recommend," but these things can seldom be done .without the preparations for them being known to some small number of the inhabitants, and as soon as this is the case, they are certain to be denounced to the police. There is no need to fear, therefore, for the people are determined to give them no admittance. Some of the disbanded have taken to the moun tains, and are showing themselves in their true colours, performing brigand exploits in the out lying districts. They always disperse and dis appear as soon as the Gensdarmes come on the scene. Cervara, a mountain village, not far from Subiaco, was entered by a band of about fifty of them, who had formed part of that of the no- torious Antinori on the 12th. It was such a poor, high-perched place, that it had not been thought worth while to garrison it, and doubtless, for that reason, it was selected by the Garibaldian brigands. They carried off everything on which they could lay their hands, and also took with them two of the richest men of the place, announcing that they would only release them for the ransom of 8,000 scudi. This need not inspire intending visitors with fear, however, as their haunts are quite out of the line of frequented roads. Their favourite prey is a lone monastery, and the smaller theicommunity the more likely to receive a visit from them. Money they always begin by asking, but they do not object to clear the place ;of its linen and stores also. After the example of spoliation set them by their own Government this is not very surprising. There was a desperately poor little community of missionary monks who, having been hunted out of Poland, had found refuge in a building on top of an exceeding high mountain, Mentorella by name. So steep was it that when I visited it last year I had to get off my mule and leave it behind, finishing the ascent almost on all-fours. A band of Garibaldian brigands found its way up here on the night of the 7th, Having presented live muskets at 'he breasts of the trembling porter, and exaete..l from hint the infor ipatiou that the Luther of the couuutthity was THE SUN, LONDoiv. -MoNoAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1%7. i not formidable, they ordered them all to turn out of bed and assemble in one room at the door of which they posted sentinels, while the rest pro ceeded to ransack the house. Having despoiled it of everything moveable, the loss complained of only amounts to 80 scudi (£l6) showing the wan tonness of the attack. I send you the text of the address which the people of Albano have sent up to the Holy Father, as it is one of the shortest, and it will serve to show you the tone adopted by all the towns of State. " Beatissimo Padre !" The city of Albano deeply deplores the attempt at rebellion which —though only for a few moments—she was desolated on the 29th of last October, through the act of turbulent foreigners who took advantage of the absence of any armed force to oppose them. They were assisted by but two or three of the lowest of the population. The whole population was moved to sorrow and indignation. No sooner were we again free than wit jubilant acclamations, and amid the joyful strains of the town band, the honoured insignia of the Pontifical Govern ment were raised aloft in their due place. " The Municipal Commission, the organ on this occasion of the sentiments of all classes of the people, cannot praise too highly the attitude of the local authorities, the courage and firmness with which they entered their solemn and energetic protest against the acts of those seditious men. The people have now no greater desire than to lay at the feet of your Holiness this expression of their united disavowal of all seditious acts and of heart felt sorrow that they have occurred; and to renew the sincere homage of fidelity, love, and veneration to the Government of your Holiness, protesting that there is nothing which can ever separate us from it or diminish our devotion to the Holy See and you, our supreme Lord and Sovereign." A word about the town bands, mentioned in the above address, may not be out of place. It says something for the cultivation of this population, that in the poorest and remotest towns of the State there are always some twenty or thirty men who spontaneously unite to spend their evenings in the practice of music. They wear (on festive occasions) a kind of military uniform, including a sword, and on all occasions of rejoicing, ecclesiasti cal or secular, they serve greatly to enliven their fellow townspeople. They generally play very creditably. The French garrison of Monte Ro tondo did not disdain, I noticed the other day, to march to the strains of the local town band. The Times, faithful to its plan of giving its readers third-hand news on Roman subjects, I see, has fallen into the natural errors of such a mode of procedure in its account of the battle of Mentana on the 12th. There is one hearsay account from Paris, and one from Florence. " The allied troops left Rome at five on the morning of the 3rd," writes the Paris correspondent, " and in an hour were in presence of the enemy's advanced posts. A severe combat ensued before the walls of Men tana. After a combat of four hours, as night was approaching, the, Pontifical troops attacked Mentana." It is strange that any one could have written such nonsense, but a person writing from the spot would have corrected his want of know ledge of Italian by his acquaintance with the lo calities. Monte Rotondo and Mentana are each a good fifteen miles from Rome, reached by two nearly parallel roads. That to the former, which is the more important place, is a good, broad, fine, high road throughout, but has been rendered use less for reaching it at present, as the Ponte Salara was blown up in a late encounter. When the troops set out for Monte Rotondo, therefore, they were obliged to go round by Mehtana, a large portion of the road to which, running ;over two or three miles of clay, is shockingly out of repair, and most difficult walking for men in heavy marching order. Now, that this could be got over in one hour no one here could have written. Our " Own Corre spondent" evidently copied from an Italian paper, which said, " Un ora dopo mezzo giorno," or one o'clock in the day, as that is about the time at which all accounts agree the engagement com menced. Had they engaged the enemy " in an hour" after they set out (at five a.m.), how could night have been approaching at the end of four hours' fighting (i.e., 10 a.m.) ? The Florence correspondent of course gives us an Italianised version. The Garibaldians say they were only 5,000, so of course the French and Ro mans lie in saying they were more. That they were for the most part Italian soldiers is a " ridiculous assertion." I have already given you proof enough to show that however "ridiculous" the latter fact, it was nevertheless true. With regard to the num ber, I can only say I counted above 7,000 muskets at Monte Rotondo, and I cannot possibly have seen all ; nor is it likely that every musket in use was brought in and left there, so that we may from this alone infer that General Kanzler's esti mate of 9,000 is quite within the mark. I have never heard it stated lower here, though I have heard their number estimated much higher, and as high as 19,000 by an inhabitant of the place. Notwithstanding these two misstatements, he is forced into some very rational deductions. First, that the numbers, organisation, and efficiency of the Papal army make it quite sufficient for all emergencies short of an inroad, strengthened by the manifest connivance of the Italian Govern ment, and secondly, that the Pope's subjects have no sympathy with the invaders. We are then also treated to a leading article, founded, it is asserted, on the three official state ments of the Roman, French, and Garibaldian com manders ; but as these documents are not given in the same paper, the ordinary reader has not the means of checking the statements supposed to be taken from each. The article in its general tone is written as much from a Garibaldian point de vue, as if " inspired" by some Secret Committee or Head Centre of the sect. The writer seems well ac quainted with Garibaldi's ideas and intentions, for he gives us boldly and without hesitation the rea son of his moving out of Monte Rotondo, which has never been very satisfactorily accounted for. " However destitute of political capacity, there is no doubt he possesses great strategical and tactical ability," he continues. This is the first time I ever heard strategical ability imputed to him, and 1 should think there was great " doubt" of it. The most that has ever been claimed for him hitherto has been a kind of stubborn brute courage, which made him a good whipper-in of incapable and re luctant troops; but even this has utterly failed him on this occasion, as I will show further on, if facts have not already shown it plainly to the most careless observer. That he was not attacked una wares, as he was " struggling across the narrow and woody gorge between Mentana and the adjoining hills," we have the testimony of the Gari baldian Bersagliere Cacciami, whose account I sent you the week before last, and whom the Florence correspondent of the Tithes quotes as gospel. His testimony agrees perfectly with that of General Kanzler, that the Garibaldians were posted in command of every bit of rising or vantage ground. De Failly's account throws ad ditional light on it. He says :—" We crossed the Nomentana bridge, which had only been aban doned by the Garibaldians the night before." The Nomentana bridge is some twelve miles nearer Rome, and it is most probable the Garibaldians left it on hearing from Mrs. Mario White that the allies were coining that way, in order to concen trate their forces. " At about an hour after midday," continues the French General, " the Garibaldiah outposts stationed in the woods flanking the road opened fire on the Pontifical vanguard." General Kanzler, who may surely be trusted as well as the Condotierre, Fabrizzi and Messori, " not to put his name to deliberate falsehoods," expressly tells us of the strong barricades behind which they had entrenched themselves, evidently showing delibe rate preparation and no " surprise." The natural barricades, however. are strong enough, and any one who is familar with the spot may wonder at the daring of any troops which should venture to dis lodge an army in possession of such a position. The road for some distance before the Vigna Santucci is completely commanded by a steep bank, at the base of which, skirting the road, runs a thick hedge forming a perfect-breaotwork. The §lope is covered with stout trees, every one of which would afford abundant cover for three or four men. There is no doubt that when the Papal troops came up they found every bit of this natural fort well occupied with muskets, and that yet they dashed into it and cleared it of the enemy. The article goes on :—" On the night between the 2nd and 3rd the Papal and French fog -ees had marched out of Rome. " Four o'clock in th e morn ing is not night.' Neither is Mentana situated to the south-west of Monte Rotondo," but r ather to the south-east. Nor can the buildings of the former be called " straggling." They are all situated on the top of a steep hill, bound together by strong medieval walls, and it is as compact a little town as could be found in any part of the world. These are only minor inaccuracies ; however, let them pass. _ . "The French column was made up," the :article proceeds (after stating the strength of the Papal column with tolerable accuracy) —" of three batta lions and a battery, according to Papal accounts, of five battalions, as we learn from French authori ties. General Failly computes the whole force at 3,000 Pontifical and 2,000 French combatants." I do not know the writer's object in trying to make out a discrepancy between the two accounts, but it is most unfair ; my previous quotations from them will have shown you how nearly identical they are. In order, however, to show the wilful malice of the above paragraph and its misstatement, I will copy General Kanzler's statement of the French. forces : "1 Battalion of Chasseurs. " 1 Battalion of the Ist Regiment of the Line. "1 Battalion of the 29th Regiment of the Line. " 2 Battalions of the 59th Regiment of the Line. Five Battalions in all ; then why say the Papal account says there were only three battalions and a battery. " Further, a platoon of the 7th Chasseurs on horse back, a platoon of Pontifical dragoons, half a bat tery of artillery, making a total of about 2,000 men." He had added up above the various bodies of Pontificals at 2,913, and he adds, " so that the two columns together made up a figure little short of 5,000." Could any two accounts coincide better ? I do not know either what is the object of the Garibaldian account in denying that Italians failed to recognise the French. But in spite of the Times' remark that "the uniform of the Papal army " [a slip of the pen, doubtless for the Antibes or Roman Legion]" differs in nothing, as all -are aware ; " but the cockade from that of the French" every street-boy knows the difference at first sight —the comparatively tight trousers with a broad black stripe down them in place of the Turkish trousers of the French, the small jacket coming a short way below the belt, the different buttons and many other tokens distinguish them at once. After speaking of the success of the Chassepot rifle, he says—" The advantage of arms told even more significantly against the Garibaldians than mere superiority of numbers might have done." What an insidious sentence ! not daring, of course, to go the length of asserting that the allies had the advantage of numbers, but just throwing it in by the way to lead the careless reader to infer they had ; and all the while it was the Garibal dians who had the superiority of numbers, being nearly double ! " The mass" of Garibaldini " were not only unskilled, but worn out and half-starved." These are gratuitous assertions invented to screen his favourites. We have seen enough to know they were by no means unskilled, seeing they were for the most part regular soldiers ; and as to worn out and half-starved,' how could that be? What had they had to wear them out? The Pontificals and French had to fight after a long and fatiguing march ; but these sheep,' what had they done ? The article begins by telling us they had had four days' inaction—that is, rest—at Monte Rotondo, and there is no reason to apprehend that they starved themselves out of regard to the rights of property of the corn and cattle dealers of the neigh bourhood. " The French accounts describe both places as of great natural strength, and it is evident that all attempts at storming them were put off till the mor row." How he pounces on the assertion, as if he had made a mo t sagacious discovery in the teeth of an attempt to imply ithe contrary ! But has he General Kanzler's report at all, or can he not read Italian ? Why does he not honestly tell us from it that the Generaldecided at nightfall to defer all further operations till daylight, and the wise fore sight on which he acted ? The paragraph in the report giving these details you will find quoted in my last. _ _ The numbers given of dead, wounded, and pri soners are not sneeered at as the easiest way of getting out of acknowledging that the rout was utter. "The prisoners, according to the same ac count, amounted to 1,600 brought by the con querers to Rome." In spite of this hint at possible error the official Florence Gazette, which cannot err in the eyes of such papers as the Times, announced on the 17th that Government had received the list of the pri soners in Rome, and had found their number amounted to 1,775 ! But the strangest bit of special pleading is in the final paragraph. After confessing that "war fare like Garibaldi's in other lands" (he does not condescend to explain why not in this land also) " would ,be filibustering ;" that " it was against, all national no less than international laws that he drew his sword ;" that " he was no less a rebel to his King and country than a common foe to the neighbouring States," and that " such means can be justified by no end." After all this he still claims admiration for him and his troops on the plea that they fought well! If blazing away at an unpro tected enemy from behind a thick hedge, or the trunk of a tree, or the wall of a house, is fighting well, then all praise be to them ; but that a force so well provided with arms could suffer themselves to be driven out of such a series of commanding positions is an instance of such wretched incapacity that one's only regret is they were not worth conquering. Certainly they would not have been but for their overpowering superiority in numbers and position. The immense strength of both Mentana and Monte Rotondo is sufficient, one would think, to have induced any general of spirit to have made some effort to hold them. The mediaeval walls and castles of each, built into the solid rock, an almost perpendicular steep of many hundred feet, invite an attempt at defence, and only eight days before a few over 300 Pontificals did hold Monte Rotondo for thirty hours against more than 3,000 of the enemy. The magnificent view from its tower, embracing the whole valley of the Tiber and all the country up to Rome itself, gives you a good idea of its elevation. Aud then it is not de nied that there were at least five pieces of artil lery. But what shall we say of a general who, during " four days of inaction" and with thou sands of idle men at his command, does not make the least effort to repair the gates or walls of such a stronghold ? Just as his bands knocked them about to get in, just so they remained when the allies entered. When I went in through the Porta Romana (which his men burnt down at last on the 26th of October, by firing barrels of petroleum and sul phur against them), and saw the small charred remnants of the former gates floating high in air like two great blackbirds of ill-omen, and no at tempt at replacing them, I felt half inclined to give credit to the wild story which the people, ever fond of the marvellous, are prone to believe, that the real Garibaldi was killed years ago, and that the present holder of the name, set up to keep up the advantage of the prestige attached to it, has neither genius nor bravery. A more melancholy instance of weakness, in capacity, and absence of all soldierly qualities was probably never displayed. But to challenge admiration for their "good fighting" is simple mockery. The writer of the Times article has yet one plea more. He has most unluckily deprived them of one excuse for running away, namely terror at the approach of the French, by making out that they did not recognize them. He says they had spent all their ammunition—they had fired away seventy rounds. Seventy rounds • TAW) there were V,OOO omen, amount to 630,000 charges, or even at the false computation of 5,000 men 350,000 charges. And with this fabulous number of charges only 172 were put hors de combat, giving them the benefit of adding in the one man who was " missing ;" and this is what the Times calls " good fighting !" I wonder —rather one need not wonder—how it would have qualified such wretched inefficiency could it have occurred on the Papal side ! And now, would it have been anything more than bare fairness if the writer of the article had inserted the testimony which De Failly's official report bears to the conduct of the Papal troops ? Does any one think he would have omitted it had it been to find fault? This is what he says : "The troops under General Kanzler had the honour of marching forth to the attack." Fur ther on—" The woods were rapidly and most brilliantly stormed by the Zouavcs, who succeeded in taking possession of all the heights commanding Mentana. . . . The Roman Legion and the Pontifical Carabineers had suffered considerably, and continued to offer a determined resistance' to the enemy. . . The two wings being strongly placed in position, it remained to attempt an attack with the centre. An active reconnaissance was vigorously pushed forward towards Mentana by the Pontifical troops, to whom had been assigned this assault. . . . Our losses were" so and so, ":those of the Papal army, having to sustain the principal attack, were, consequently, far more considerable. . . . I cannot close my report better than by adverting to the impetuosity and valour which the Pontifical troops everywhere displayed." The French army takes a pleasure in rendering this testimony. I wanted to follow the: various errors of the Times about Mentana to the end without interruption, so I have deferred till now noticing an absurd paragraph in the same letter from the Florence correspondent,quoted from the Diritto as follows :—" The prisons, crammed with nearly 3,000 individuals arrested for mere precaution's sake by the Pontifical police, are emptying by order of the French." Comment ing on this, the correspondent adds—" The most determined enemies of intervention admit that they at once put an end to the species of terrorism which the Papal Government imposed upon the city." I showed the paragraph to one who deeply interests himself in all. public affairs here, and who must know the state of the case as to the political prisoners, and he treated the whole thing with contempt, unable to see how any one could care for the statements of a paper which could let itself be so miserably led away. " But," I said, " tell me what I shall say in answer to it.' " What can you say ?" he replied. " When a man asserts a thing which is completely and utterly false, there is no answer to be made but that it is false—false from beginning to end." This, how ever, led him to speak of how the Papal Govern ment is far too much inclined to err on the sidelof lenience than on that of severity. " What other country of the world," he asked, "is there, in which the conspirators who concocted the ,horri ble plot of blowing up the Serristori barracks would not have been hanged or shot forthwith ? Yet this Government hesitates to punish them. This re minded him of another proof, which he also gave me. He said, "When we were patrolling the streets within a few days of the Serristori affair, and when several similar plots were dejoues by the police, we used to walk along in company with the Gendarmi. Of course we challenged whoever we met after a late hour of night. During the first hours they were generally Romans, who gave a rational account of their business out of doors, their names and addresses and were suffered to pass un molested, the gendarmi always exercising their office with great courtesy. But after lor 2 o'clock in the morning those we met were invariably for eigners. Have you any papers?' the gendarmi would ask. Oh, yes, here they are,' was always the ready answer ; and then they always produced an Italian (Piedmontese) passport, all of them worded identically as if each had been traced off the other with a copying machine, showing forth that so and-so had set out to Viaggiare per l'Africa of l'America.' Miserable objects, who hardly looked as if they had a penny to bless themselves with, trying to make believe that they had come out with the indefinite intention of travelling through either Africa or America, they were not sure which ! When we had passed a certain number of these I grew impatient, and I said to the gen darme "Why do you let all these fellows go. They must be bent on mischief. What good can they be doing at this time of night ? They ought every one, be arrested if we are to preserve public s tfety.' 'Of course they ought,' replied the gendarme; there is no doubt of that, but what are we to do ? Our orders are to meddle with people as little as possible, and not to touch any. whose papers are en regle. Of course, I know the trick about l'Africa o l'America that is all a blind Last year everybody's passport was for la Grecia, but their papers are en regle for all that." This is not exactly like "iterrorism." I know many naturally timid people living here—several in stances of single ladies living by themselves, some with the very smallest establishments—the class of people, I suppose, the most easily frightened, but who did not appear to feel any " terror" at all. The fact is a little: more severity would be very , salutary, and if a little terrorism were but ex ercised it might set our Piedmontese conspirators to learn some more creditable trade than throwing bombs and blowing up houses. Where people are perversely determined to dis tort events, it is, I suppose, a waste of words to set them right. Yet there is one statement quoted from the Roman letter of the Pall Mall, in your article on " False Notes from Rome," of the 16th, which is so ludicrous to us who witnessed the facts, that I cannot forbear adverting to it. It is the following, alluding to the entrance of the Garibaldian prisoners :—" The melancholy pro cession was watched by 40,000 spectators, whose presence alarmed the authorities, and troops were drawn up at the Quirinal in anticipation of a dis turbance. But the vast crowd preserved an un broken silence, only uncovering to the Garibal dians." Now, I walked beside the procession from outside Porta Pia into the centre of Rome, and I will undertake to say that through the whole line of march there were nothing like even 40 hundred spectators. 400 would be a much nearer guess. Had the Government had the least apprehension of a " disturbance," is it likely that the Garibaldian officers would have been suffered, as with much too great forbearance they were, to carry their swords, or that they would have been marched through the city (there were over 1,000 of them, remember) escorted by less than 300 soldiers? The troops drawn up on the route had no connection with any idea of " dis turbance." Had the Pall Mall correspondent been better informed, he would have known they sim ply stood there to relieve the guard of the tired soldiers who brought the prisoners in, and who could from that spot conveniently reach their barracks at the Macao. I will further undertake to say that not one Roman " uncovered to the:Gari baldians "—that is to say, openly or ostensibly. If any sneaking American or Piedmontese raised his hat for the sake of enabling it to be said the thing had been done, he must have taken good care not to let it be observed. I was there to watch the attitude of the people more than anything else, and I was particularly struck by the absence of any thing like sympathy. Sometimes, when a dejected wretch, more ragged and footsore than another, limped by, he might elicit an exclamation of com passion, but it was always of the kind of compas sion linked to contempt. These English advocates out-Herod Herod with their special pleading. While they are pretending to bear testimony to sympathizing which never existed, the Italians themselves, with greater honesty, at least, are vituperating the Ro mans for their absence of sympathy. " It must be spoken out," writes the Ri forma, " in order that there may be no illusion on the subrct in the future, all these populations are so brutish, that they care nothing about Italy, or Unification, or Liberty ; nothing about the cause ' which the volunteers are supporting, and the Flo rence Government is abandoning. For what, for whom, is it we are getting ourselves shot down ? When we entered Montana, not one cry of rejoice ing or encouragement greeted us. During the struggle, no hand was held out to help us, and after it was over, no one of the inhabitants admi nistered a word of consolation over our discom fiture." By a slip of the pen—excusable, as I was very ill when I wrote—l see the population of Mentana is stated in my letter in your impression of the 16th at 6,000 ; it should be " under 600." The railway service is now completely re-esta blished, and runs regularly, as before, between Florence, Rome, and Naples. In spite of the predictions of certain Italian jour nals, and, one may add, the erroneous statements of the English Crown Speech, there is, so far, no indication of any intention on the part of the French to forsake us. They are strengthening the defences round Rome and Civita Vecchia, and they go halves with the Papal troops in gar risoning all the towns of the provinces. The troops now here comprise the two divisions under Generals Dumont and Bataille, but they have brought artil lery enough for four divisions. It may be a relief to some timid travellers to learn that the barricades erected round those of the gates which were not altogether closed, and which have been guarded sedulously up to the pre sent time, are now being removed, which may be taken as an indication that there is no further attack expected. The Triduo for the peace of the Church has been largely attended on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week. In fact it is necessary to come to Rome to acquire the idea of what church-going can be. It is something " strange to an English eye" to see congregations too large to number easily, in which men hold a larger pro portion than women, and that in the middle of the day on a week day. Yet that might have been seen in many churches during these three days. The devotions at the Gest' were probably the most followed of all. The General of the Order sang the Mass ; the choir was very successfully led by the German College. There was a grand Requiem office this morning at St. John Lateran for the repose of the souls of all who have fallen in the defence of the Holy See. The catafalque was very imposing, surrounded by flaming torches and appropriate inscriptions, in cluding the names of the various victories, alter nated with texts. All the officers of the staff of both armies were present, ariu au immense crowd of people; filling the huge Basilica in every part, testified how popular is the object of the office. The following quotations from Italian papers are, I think, both interesting and instructive. The first shall be from the Italia. In an article in its impression of the 15th, speaking of the men composing the present Ministry, it writes thus : " We have fallen so low that we are obliged to raise to the Ministry men whom formerly we should have thought hardly fit to fill the office of inspec tors of police." The next shall be from the Nazione. It gives us some insight into what manner of men the Garibaldian leaders are :—" We know for certain that a certain De 8., a lieutenant in the Garibal dian army, has been put on his trial for robbery with violence. One Spinozzi, colonel in the same army, who was Commandante di Piazzi.at Monte fiascone, is charged with embezzling 1,262 lire, belonging to the account of duty on salt and to bacco, which came into his hands in the exercise of his functions. The Sentinella Bresciana may be quoted next in confirmation of the above :—" One of the bravest of the Genoese Carabineers, who has fol lowed Garibaldi on six occasions, said three days ago—" I shall certainly not go out with him a seventh time ; the impure element in these expe ditions is now far too strong, and our name stinks in the nostrils of the Roman populations. They have seen so little good of us that they rejoice over our discomfiture. They have shown us this in the most energetic way, and we have made them hail the advent of the French soldiery as their very liberators." THE WALK FROM PORTLAND TO CHICAGO. As Weston's pedestrian feat is exciting attention in England, as well as in America, we give the following from 11 , likes' Spirit of the Times:— Edward Payson Weston, the young pedestrian, who created somewhat of a sensation in 1861 by walking from Boston to Washington against time, averag ing fifty-one miles for ten consecutive days, has been pitted against his old antagonist to walk from Portland, Maine, to Chicago, Illinois, a distance of 1,200 miles, in twenty-six walking days, for the sum of $lO,OOO a side. George F. Good win backs the pedestrian, T. F. Wilcox, risk ing his money on Weston's failure. The articles of agreement provide that Weston is to perform his arduous labour in 30 days, without walking between midnight on Saturday and midnight on Sunday. He is to follow the Post Road; is to walk 100 consecutive miles inside of 24 consecutive hours as a part of the feat, Weston being privileged to make five trials, on such days as he may select, provided he fails in his first attempt; be will be ac companied by two sworn witnesses for each side, who are to follow him in a waggon, and are each to make statement under oath as to his progress, and the stakes ($20,000, less $1,200 already up as for feit) are to be handed to the winner at Chicago as soon as the result is ascertained. The start from Portland will be made between the Ist and 15th of October. The following is Mr. Weston's calculation as to the points at which he will stop, and the number of miles he expects to make on each day : Leave Portland at 12 o'clock, m., Tuesday, Oc tober 15 ; walk to Keunebunk, Me., 23 miles ; Wednesday, 16th, Salem, Mass., 60 miles ; Thurs day, 17th, North Attleboro', 46 miles ; Friday, 18th, leave Attleboro' at 5 p.m., walk to East Hart ford, Connecticut, a distance of 100 miles, arriving at 4.55 p.m. on Saturday ; Saturday, 19th, Hart ford, 2 miles; Monday, 21st, Cornwall Bridge, 54 miles; Tuesday, 22d, Chatham Four Corners, N. Y., 52 miles ; Wednesday, 23d, Schenectady, 46 miles; Thursday, 24th, tit. Jones, 47 miles; Friday, 25 h. Rome, 46 miles ; Saturday, Warner's, 47 miles; Monday, 28th, Palmyra, 49 miles; Tuesday, 29th, Byron, 47 miles; Wednesday, 30th, Buffalo, 45 miles ; Thursday, 31st, Brocton, 43 miles; Friday, Nov. Ist, Erie, Pennsylvada, 49 miles ; Saturday, 2d, Geneva, Ohio, 50 miles ; Monday, 4th, Cleveland, 45 miles; Tuesday, sth, Wakeman, 43 miles; Wednesday, 6th, Tremont, 39 miles; Thursday, 7th, Springfield, 39 miles; Friday, Bth, Bryan, 45 miles; Saturday, 9th, Ligonier, Ind., 54 miles; Monday, 11th, Misbanaka, 45 miles ; Tuesday, 12th, Calumet, 49 miles ; Wednesday, 13th, Chicago Junction, 111., 32 miles ; Thursday, 14th, reach Chicago, 6 miles, at 12 m. On this trip Weston will pass through parts of ten different States and more than 300 cities and towns. Iu a private letter he says—" The calcu lation for each day's travel is made on the supposi tion that I do not fail to make 100 miles in the walk from North Attleboro' to East Hartford. Fail ing in this, however, I have four other trials, which I shall make at intervals of five days. In 1861 I made an average of 51 miles per day for ten conse cutive days, in the worst season of the year for walking—February and March. On this trip my average will be but 47 miles, and the feat is to be performed during the pleasantest part of the year. I have tried nine different times to walk 100 miles in 24 consecutive hours, but have never succeeded. On one trial I came within two miles of it. I think I can accomplish the feat after a week's practice, and if I am successful on the fourth day of the trip, I would not give ten cents to be insured the vic tory." Should Weston fail, on each trial, to make 100 consecutive miles in 24 hours, his backer forfeits six tenths of the stake, whether the whole distance be accomplished in the given time or not. On the 29th ult., at 12 m., Weston started from Portland on his herculean feat, and arrived at Saco, Maine, at 3.25 p.m., being thirty-five minutes ahead of time. He dined there and started again, arriving at North Berwick at Midnight in fine condition. He missed the road twice and went three miles out of his way. [By the latest intelligence ho had arrived al 3, ✓ Buffalo on the 14th inst. ahead of time. This brings him 699 miles, and he is therefore more than half way on his road to Chicago. On the 15th he left Buffalo to make another attempt at his 100 miles in 24 hours. If successful in this he will reach Erie, and he is said to be in excellent spirits, so that his backers are confident of his success. M the mail left on the morning of the 16th the result was not known.—ED. A. A. T.] INDIANS AGAINST TIME.—DEEHFOOT RUNS FIVE MILES IN 24 MINUTES.—A novel and exciting race came off on the 24th of October, on the track of the Zanesville Driving Park Association, County Fair ground?, which excited no little excitement among the fancy, a, race by three Indians, Deerfoot, Stevens, and Steeprock, against time. Two o'clock was the hour for the start, but it was nearly three before the In dians with moccasins, tight breeches, and large shawls, appeared at the northern part of the grounds, and slowly walked arround the waggon road to the judges' stand. The judges announced that the young Indian Steeprock would only run two miles and then draw off, owing to ill-health. At the proper time, the Indiansat the word " Go," started. Young Steeprock soon took the lead, Deerfoot next, and Stevens be hind. In this position they ran the first four rounds, two miles, with increasing distance beween Steep rock and Deerfoot, and Stevens falling still further behind. At the close of the fourth round young Steeprock drew off from the track. Deerfoot, at the close of the sixth round, was half the length of the track ahead of Stevens, and this distance lie gradually kept increasing until at the close of his tenth round, Stevens had but little more than com pleted his ninth. The whole distance (five miles) was made by Deerfoot in the following time :--First mile, 5.02; second mile, 5.16 ; third mile, 5.27; fourth mile, 5.20 ; fifth mile, 5.25. Whole time, 26 min. 30 sec. Stevens occupied 28 min. 35 sec. completing the distance. The track was in excel lent condition, smooth as a floor. NAMES Of STATES.
