It is stated here that "of all the many roads suggest( id, leading from the Red Sea to Abys sinia, th e choice will in all probability be reduced to two--that from Arkika or Annesley Bay by llalai, Adi-ger;At, and another to Salkota, and that from Amphillf,t Bay to Salkota." A great deal must be left to the, judgment of the officer in command of the forces and to the Government ; and the object of this in(luable article is not to advise so much as to correct some errors that have attained credence on the sul )ject, and to collect from various docu ments such information as may avail to impart con fidence t o those who have been led away by desponding . accounts to form an exaggerated notion of the w'hole affair. We would commend to the notice of the public the concluding observations here met with as to what has already been achieved by English expeditions in different places, and thence to derive confidence and hope for the succe:s of this undertaking. There is no reason whatever why this Abyssinian expedition should not furnish another instance to the many which have gone before of the triumph of our forces by that com bined courage and perseverance which have already brought them successfully through perils and difficulties. The good folks of the provinces must be getting nearly as wearied of the very name of Reform as our metropolitan politicians have been for the last six months. The near approach of a fresh session, though the vexed question may be allowed to 'lumber in peace until Christmas is over, seems to have lent fresh energy to the orators, who ars starring it in the country, and the whole story of the last two sessions is told again and again with various interpretations. It is only consistent with human nature that the men who have been the means of giving us a substantially good measure of enfranchisement should be the most loudly abused, and there are two considerations which may fully account for the unmitigated abuse of the Tory Re form Government which we hear on these occasions. One is that the Liberal M.P.'s are naturally irri tated at seeing the work they have so long consi. dered their own taken out of their hands. What ever credit or praise belongs to the successful Re formers they have forfeited, and all their satires about Tory sacrifice of principles for power do not compensate them for the annoyance consequent upon their being left behind in the race. Secondly, the Reform question has been for a good many years past a safe thing to talk about. It gave the opportunity. They have lost the opportunity of enunciating ex cellent general theories, of making popular pro fessions, and of having a safe subject for the hustings upon which they are secure of the sympathies of their constituents. It is natural, under such circum stances, that men should like to make the most of their lost opportunity of the sort and to relieve their natural irritation, and accordingly we find the anniversary of CoLsores Day at Bristol chiefly occupied with discussions on the Reform Bill. It is curious to notice the very different views which persons take of the same things, and we do not often see it more strongly exemplified than when two festive gatherings of opposite parties are held in the same town. The Anchor Society denounces the wickedness of the Tories, and laments that the doctrines of the country should be com mitted to such unworthy hands. The Dolphin Society sees the other side of the shield, and looks at the events of the Session with very different eyes. We must admit, however, that the Dolphins have the best of it, so far as moderation goes ; but, in the first place, it must be remembered that the winning ride can best afford to be magnanimous, and also the principal speakers at the Dolphin ban quet, the Earl of DEVON and the Right Hon. S. CAVE, M.P., are naturally moderate and sensible speakers, who think more of expressing their own convictions than of moving the passions of their hearers. Had Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY been in the place of Mr. F. BERKELEY at the Anchor din ner, he would not, we think, have been so whole sale in his condemnation of the bill and its authors. Mr. JOHN BRIGHT, whom Mr. F. BERKELEY praised so highly for his honesty and straightforwardness, was too genuine a reformer to refuse to acknow- ledge the points gained. " Now they had got house hold suffrage !" exclaims Mr. F.IBERKELET, " and what was household suffrage ? It would be useless without the ballot." But because we want two good things, and can only get one at a time, are we to refuse that one? Household suffrage, if it is worth anything, will prepare the way for the ballot. It is quite evident that the classes of electors that we have hitherto had do not care about the ballot, or we should have had it carried instead of talked about. . Let us, then, see whether the fresh ranks of voters will send a little more genuine liberality into Parliament. Besides there are many excellent but timorous politicians who regard the ballot as a greater "leap in the dark" than the extension of the franchise. When they see the latter accomplished with safety, and England standing where it was, much of their prejudice and fear respecting the ballot will also be removed. Unless they protected the voter, says Mr. BERKELEY, they had positively achieved no thing ; but in the same breath he added that they had made the elections more expensive than they were, thus tacitly admitting that the increased size of the constituencies would of itself present an obstacle to bribery. We are surprised that Mr. F. BERKELEY, who must be very well aware of the indifference, if not dislike, to the ballot existing in the present House of Commons, should not be glad to see the promise of a change which will in crease the chances of success. As for the mutual recriminations of political parties such invidious matters were best disposed of by Mr. CAVE, who frankly declared that he thought neither side had any right to blame the other for the seven years' inaction. "If blame there be, the Liberal party cannot, 1 say, be called on to bear that blame alone But what right has that party which came in on the Reform cry, and kept their places for seven long years without passing a Reform Bill, to turn round and blame us for keeping our places and passing one ?" Mr. CAVE quoted the words of Mr. ROEBUCK last February, and said that he thought it would be difficult to state the case in fewer or better words. "n e are obliged to change," said Mr. ROEBUCK ; " shall we be the better for the change? lam by no means assured of that. But some change is absolutely requisite, and we are called upon to admit classes of our countrymen who, by their habits, their intelli gence, and their probity, are entitled to have a share in the voice of the country." Mr. CAVE took the novel course of referring to the sentiments of his opponents for testimony. He quoted, as we have seen, the opinion of Mr. ROEBUCK, and he quoted also the verdict of Mr. FORSTER. We are glad to find the Earl of DEVON, in his address, speaking strongly of the necessity of im proving the condition of our workhouse infirmaries. He referred to the recent statements published on the subject, and said that, as the head of the depart ment, he felt they were obliged to those gentlemen whose inquiries hadbrought to light cal requiring remedy. we hope that, if the Poor Law Board will accept the interference of voluntary inspectors in this spirit, they may be induced to adopt them selves a more stringent and vigilant system of super vision, which shall prevent the possibility of any such horrors as those we have recently read of being matters of every-day occurrence in institutions supposed to be under State control. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. The information about the proposed Congress is now more specific. Circulars have been addressed by the French Government to the principal Courts of Europe, i❑ which the proposal for a Congress is made, and it is probable that most of them will send representatives, with a view to endeavour to settle the difficulties connected with the Italian question. These Governments it is said will require the appli cation of paragraph 4 of the protocol of the Con ference of Aix-la-Chapelle of the 15th November, 1818. England at present has not sent any adhe sion to the proposed congress. The police have discovered the existence of a secret society. Eighteen persons have been arrested, and it is said that some documents of a treasonable character have been found at their respective resi dences. The 14th Chamber of Correctional Police yesterday heard the charges against the persons accused of proffering seditious cries at the Place de l'Hotel de Ville on the 18th of October. Some of them were sentenced to imprisonment for fifteen days, and the others for a month. Claude Leon Menager, a young Frenchman of 27, has come to grief in consequence, according to his own showing, of his being a great gorman dizer. He is indeed a gormandizer of the first water. During the Exhibition he was in the employ of Messrs. Dows and . Gueld, American restaurateurs, as a waiter, and one fine morning he was stopped on his way out, having in his possession bottles of liquor, brandy, fragments of meat, and other articles belonging to his employers. In answer to the Pre sident of the court before which he has just been tried as to what was his motive for committing the robbery, the prisoner said " Nothing else but gormandism." In truth, the search of his lodgings went far to prove the truth of his assertion, for the police found there chocolate, sardines, figs, pre serves, and other good eatables belonging to his masters, and also a box of excellent cigars, which would afford a pleasant smoke after a relish. It was evident also that the prisoner was delicate in his habits and did not eat with his fingers, for plenty of forks and spoons were found, and also glasses, teapots, coffee pots, mustard pots, and other miscellaneous articles connected with the table. The prisoner ad mitted that he had stolen all these little matters from his masters, but said he consented that they should be restored to them. The Court, without asking his consent in that respect, sentenced him to imprisonment for 14 months. Garrotting attacks have become so numerous in Paris and the environs that alarm is beginning to be felt upon the subject. A gentleman, who was passing along the Rue de Vauves about midnight, was attacked by six individuals, some of whom seized him by the throat, whilst the others rifled his pockets. His cries attracted the attention of the police, who seized one of the malefactors, who attempted to get rid of the gentleman's purse. A poultry dealer was returning home to his residence, a few miles from Paris, on Tuesday night, after having sold his poultry at market. He arrived at a point where there is a steep ascent, and dismounted from his cart to relieve the horse. He had only proceeded a few paces when a ruffian jumped from a hedge and inflicted some serious wounds on his head with a stick. He bad the presence of mind to call out to his son, who was in the cart, to reach him his gun. This frightened the ruffian, who made off. The dealer had rather a largo sum of money in his possession, which fact was no doubt known. A similar case has occurred in another district in the environs of Paris. in this instance, however, the aggressor get the worst of it, for the intended victim, a man of powerful frame, struck him a blow which felled him to the ground, and whip ping his horse was enabled to escape. The police have arrested no less than 19 vagabonds, who have been in the habit of sleeping in a quarry near Paris, where it is known that they concoct these plans of robbery. So many night attacks upon persons have not occurred for some years as have been recorded recently. The French robbers do not have it all to them selves, for an Irish pickpocket has been arrested. H e gave his name as Lincoln, but was good enough to mention that he was no relative of the late American President. This individual was carrying on his industry in an omnibus going towards the Rue du Temple. A lady, who was getting out of the omnibus, discovered that she had been robbed of her purse containing about 30 francs. The Irishman got out at the same time, and was running off, but the lady having cried out that she had been robbed, he was stopped and the purse was found upon him. This has been another extraordinary day in re gard to weather. It was very dry, warm, and bright. Again, however, there was a white frost in the fields at sunrise. consideration between Fr A anc p e os a t n a d l treaty is ndnuGeerrinany, which, if carried into effect., will considerably reduce the postage of letters between the two countries. A private letter from Vienna, which is to be Areileixedicoupcoonn, continues in in th t a h t e the Empress Charlotte of same condition. Occa sionally she betrays agitation of mind, but in gene ral the Empress is in a tranquil, not to say, in sensible condition. The Empress is still unaware of the sad fate of Maximilian. An attempt was lately made to prepare her for the fatal news by telling her that Juarez had arrived in 111exico. The Empress smiled, and replied, " So much the better, for I think the Emperor would appoint him Presi dent of the Council of State." This reply seems to be founded upon the fact that in the early part of his career Maximilian had the idea of conciliating Juarez by enlisting him into his Cabinet, and thus putting an end to further revolutionary struggle and difficulty. Tho French Government has just ordered from the manufactories of Eshilstuna, in Sweden, 60,000 sabre-bayonets, which are to be delivered at the end of March next. Another telegraphic communication has just been effected between England and the continent by means of a cable, which has been carried to the vil lage of Lapan, in Belgium. Lord Lyons, who is now accredited as Eng lish Ambassador in Paris, and commenced his career under such happy circumstances, completes the list of fourteen diplomatists who have repre sented England in France since the fall of Napoleon I. The Duke of Wellington was accredited on the Bth of August, 1814, and Lord Stuart de Rothesay on the 26th of March, 1815 ; Lord Granville on the 3d of November, 1824 ; he was recalled in 1828. Lord Stuart de Rothesay was accredited for the second time in 1828, and for the third time after the Revolution of July, 1830. Lord Granville, accredited for the second time in January, 1831, was recalled in November, 1841. Lord Cowley, accredited on the 15th of November, 1841, was recalled on the 11th of August, 1846. The Mar quis of Normanby, accredited on the 21th August, 1846, to the King, was re-accredited ou the 20th of August, 1848, to the Republic, and again accre dad to the Prince President on the 31st June, 1849. Lord Cowley was accredited for the second time in 1852, and remained in Paris as the Engish Ambassador until the present appiutmeut of Lord Lyons. ABSCONDING OF A LIVERPOOL SOLICITOR.—Mr. William Stockley, the senior member of the firm of Stock ley, Wrigley, and Stockley, solicitors, of Liverpool, was yesterday adjudicated a bankrupt in tho Liverpool Cour'.; of Bank uptcy. The act of bankraptcy was the alleged absconding of the debtor. The petitioning creditor is a lady, who is stated to have deposited a considerable amount in trust moneys with the bankrupt's firm, which the bank rupt, without the knowledge of his partners, contrived to appropriate, together with other sums, amounting, it is said, 44 all to about £lO,OOO. LONDON, FRIDAY, NO V. 15, 1867. All that concerns Abyssinia is certain just now to attract a considerable share of public attention, and the article on the subject in the last number of the Quarterly* may confidently be recommended to the notice of the public. It puts th• question be fore us in the most comprehensive manner, and affords us as correct a notion of the place as can be expected for Idevised. It is curious to notice how circumstances change things, and sud denly bring a particular spot into notice which heretofore may have been disregarded. As it is truly stated here, " Not many months ago Abyssinia was to the generality of Englishmen terra incognito. None save a few geographers, the readers of BRUCE'S Travels,' some missionaries, and the relatives of the unhappy prisoners at Mag dala knew, or cared to know, much about this part of the world." How striking is the position of affairs now in respect to that country. Parlia ment is to meet next week to arrange matters, in order that no pains or expense shall be spared to render the expedition now fit ting out a successful one. The general features of the case, the peculiarities of the place, the sad condition of the prisoners, and so on, engage the attention of readers and writers, and form a uni versal topic of conversation in many circles. If anything could have rendered the course pursued by King TIIEODORE more intolerable than his first deeds of darkness and violence in putting the Consul and his companions in chains it would have been his conduct to Mr. RASSA3I. This was about as uncalled for as it was impertinent to those who de puted him to be the bearer of messages from our Government to the barbarian KING. It did not mend matters, and indeed it may be questioned if it did not make them worse for the Emperor to make believe that he was friendly disposed towards the messenger whom he so insulted. Due credit is given here to the manner in which the British Govern ment have endeavoured to settle this awkward question without having recourse to arms. No doubt at the very beginning of the affair there was great inadvertence displayed by the late Govern- anent, but during the recent steps we do not see how anything could have been done better than that which has been effected. Indeed, as observed, only a very powerful nation could have afforded to have exhibited so much patience, or it would have been attributed to a wrong motive ; "and we doubt whether any reason able man who is by habit or experience at all qualified to judge of such matters could now sug gest any other course with any prospect of success, but either to place the matter in the hands of a soldier empowered to back his demands by force, or to leave the Consul and the gentlemen who went at the bidding of the British Government to negotiate for his freedom to perish." Public opinion has virtually succeeded upon the necessity of sending forth this expedition, and the next thing to consider is the nature of the country and the difficulties which an invading force will meet with. The reputation of England is at stake until something definite and decided be done to rescue these unfortunate captives, and we must also bear in mind that our progress and success in the forth coming expedition will be closely watched and criticised by other countries, and hence no care and consideration should be spared in the under taking. The object of this article is to put before the readers the " topography of Abyssinia," and that task is faithfully performed, for no one can rise from its perusal without having a clearer idea of the pl tn or a more definite notion of what should be done to insure success, and what should be avoided to escape failure. A very natural cinsequence of the sudden interest and excitement which have been awakened on the subject is that innumerable advisers and informers have started up, some of whom con tradict the others, and some indeed who make such extraordinary statements that a little investigation show their invalidity, as many, if not all, the terrors and horrors which they set forth are implicitly credited by certain persons. It is well to have a good authority to rely upon, and to know for certain what is true and what is not true in such an impor tant venture as that our forces are about to make. Those hitherto unfamiliar with this subject will be surprised to study the peculiarities of this country. Abyssinia may be described as a table land, and yet it presents to the traveller the " features and diffi culties of a highly mountainous country. A single day's journey may carry the traveller over plains luxuriant with vegetation, and corn and flowers, where his progress is rapid and easy. It may take him through narrow and intricate valleys, down one steep bank of a river and up another, by narrow and difficult paths, and may even oblige him to escalade a mountain's side, which he can only accomplish by scrambling and climbing up the face of the rocks." It follows as a matter of course that for such a country no description of carriage except " pack animals" can be relied on, and whichever other mode may be employed at first, pack animals must essentially be the carriage in the mountains, and therefore it is advised that all loads should be made up in packages suitable for this kind of transport. A strong body of pioneers can considerably lessen the difficulties of the attempt, and the saying of NAPOLEON is quoted for encouragement, when he declared that w here two men could stand abreast an army might pass. The climate of Abys sinia is as varied as its topography, and the description of it shows that the climate of the high lands is healthy, equable, and temperate, while that of the low desert country between the high land and the sea is hot and unhealthy beyond imagination. We fully expect that many of the evils said to abound in Abyssinia will be found pretty much the same as those of other tropical countries, and that the field forces, mainly comprising native Indian troops, will not be much affected by them, and their experience will show them to be far less serious than at first supposed. It is very emphatically stated here that when one country decides upon making war upon another, it should be well informed upon certain points, such as " the military forces of the enemy, the situation of his capital, and the nature of the country to be operated in as to supplies." In the present war we have no " ac- "The Abyssinian Expedition." The Quvierly Review, Np. 246. THE SUN, LONOON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 15, 1867. LATEST INTELLIGENCE (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) ITALY. FLORENCE, Nov 15, The official Gazette publishes a decree appointing General Cialdini commander-in-chief of the active troops in Central Italy. The Journal de Rome, of the 12th inst., announce , i that the Pope has decided to bestow a mark of honour upon all the Pontifical troops who repulsed the Garibaldian invasion, and upon the French troops who participated in the battle of Mentana. THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE. BERLIN, Nov. 14. Spellers Gazette of this morning says—" The French invitation to the Conference is dated the 9th, and begins with a statement of the warm and well justified interest of the French Government in Italian events. The reputation and the impar tial and far-sighted attitude of the French Govern ment with regard to the September Convention guaranteed that it will not prove untrue to the en gagements into which it has entered. The ques tion of the Pope and of the Holy See must en gage the serious attention of the Cabinets. The recent confusion in Italy was the result of a prema- tare attempt." The Note proposes a common deliberation of the Powers, and says that nothing but a calm and attentive examination can supply the bases for a satisfactory and lasting solution. The invitation does not state a date for the meet ing of the Conference, nor does it enter into details or put forward definite proposals. TIIE EASTERN QUESTION. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 14 (Evening). The lavalide and the Bourse Gazette give a cate gorical denial to the statement that the Russian Minister at Constantinople had presented the Porte with proposals for a reform of the last Hatti humayoun, and add—" The adoption of such a course would be in entire opposition to the dignity of Russia, as well as to the position she has now as sumed in conformity with her last declaration to the Porto on the subject of Crete."

Miss Mercer Elphinsteae, daughter of Admiral Lord Keith, who for a large period of the war with France commanded in the Mediterranean, wag born in 1785, and the few of her contemporaries who still survive will re member her as the friend and cmfliante of the Princess Charlotte of Wales. Nothing would have seemed inure improbable than that the daughter of a British Admiral who had passed the whole of his distinguished career in active service against the French should have allied her self with a French officer equally distinguished in the service of Franco, and who had attained the high honour of being attached as aide-de-camp to the person of the Emperor Napoleon during the Moscow and Waterloo cam paigns. Compelled to leave France, however, upon the restoration of the Bourbons, M. de Flahault, who had been educated in England, took refuge in this county, and in 1817 he married the lady who died on Tuesday last, in Paris, at his official residence as Chancellor of the Legion of Honour. As Madame de Flahault, she was Ambassa dress of France under the Orleans dynasty at Rome and at Vienna, and for a short time filled the same position in England while M. de Flahault most appropriately repre sented the Second Empire at the Court of St. James's. Madame de Flahault has loft two daughters, the Dowager Marchioness of Lansdowne and Mdlle. de Flahault. Lady Lansdowne succeeds to the Barony of Nairne, which, with that of Keith, Madame do Flahault held in her own right. THE BA7TLE OF MENTANA. The Moniteur of yesterday contains the following despatch from General de Failly : " Monsieur le Marechal,—On disembarking at Civita Vecchia on the 29th October, the first intel ligence furnished to me with respect to the revolu tionary bands stated that the whole of their forces, under the command of Garibaldi, occupied on the north a position menacing that city. Their advanced posts held the right bank of the Anio, and threat ened Rome. Our first operations, therefore, were directed towards separating them, and dislodging them from the positions which they occupied. I was the more anxious to take the offensive because delay would permit the several bands to assemble in strength. From the time that the forces at Rome appeared to be sufficiently strong, the bases of ope ration were fixed, in concert with the commander of the Pontifical troops, and operations were deter mined for Sunday, Nov. 3.—The Tiber, as it flows into Rome, follows a direction from north to south. At a little distance from the city it receives on the left bank a considerable affluent, the Anio, with which it forms almost a right angle. Between the two rivers are numerous natural redoubts, rising gradually, and forming excellent defensive positions. On one of these eminences, ap proaching the Tiber, are situated the im portant positions of Mentana and Monte Rotondo, surrounded by earthworks and protected both on the north and the south by a rough ground and a difficult approach. This was where the head-quar ters of the insurrection were established. Two routes lead from Rome to this position —one the road from Rome to Florence, passing along the banks of the Tiber, the other crossing the Anio at li a bridge named Nomentana, enters Mentana, and attains its highest elevation on the approach to the town which commands a view of Rome. This is the key of the position. Two columns were put in motion ; the first consisting of 300 men of the Pontifical army, taking its route through the valley, had more particularly the object of making a diver sion on Monte Rotondo during the principal attack, which was arranged to take place on the heights which surround Mentana. A second column took this latter direction. It was composed of an ad vanced guard of 2,000 Pontifical Zouaves, the Carabiniers, the Roman Legion, and a battery of the Pontifical artillery. These troops, under the command of General Kanzler, had claimed the honour of commencing the attack. The French column, commanded by General Polhes, consisted of the 2d battalion of Chasseurs a Pied, a battalion of the Ist Regiment of the Line, a battalion of the 29th, two battalions of the 59th, a detach ment of the 12th Chasseurs, a half battery of the 12th brigade of artillery, and a detachment of engineers, with ambulance waggons. All these troops, notwithstanding an exceedingly heavy rain which fell in the morning, were ready for march at five a.m. The principal column, leaving Rome by the Porta Pia, crossed the bridge of Nomentana, which the advanced guard of Garibaldians had evacuated on the previous evening, and arrived within four kilometres of the position of the rebels without being attacked. At one o'clock in the day the advanced posts of the Garibaldians, who held the positions on both sides of the road, opened fire on the Pontifical advanced guard. These positions were rapidly and brilliantly taken by the Zouaves, who succeeded in establishing themselves on the heights overlooking Mentana. In order to sustain the move ment of the Zouaves, and to prevent the enemy from extending their wings, General de Pelhes sent to their right three companies of the 2d battalion of Chasseurs, the battalion of the Ist of the Line, and to their left a battalion of the 29th, with one piece of artillery. The Ist of the Line took their position on a rising ground 800 metres from Mentana, and opened a well sustained fire on the village with two other pieces of artillery placed at their disposal. Notwithstanding the losses which these canon caused in the enemy's ranks, and the conflagration which they produced in the village, a body of tirailleurs, advancing from Monte Rotondo, sought to occupy all the hills and the elevated plateau which extends along the road from Mentana, between San Sul pizio and Monte Rotondo. The Roman Legion and the battalion of Pontifical Carabineers hav ing suffered much, and the enemy opposing a furious resistance, the Ist of the Line charged ra pidly on the position, descended at double speed the slopes of San Sulpizio, and, in order to avoid the fire of the enemy, deployed ; then, supported by three companies of the 2d battalion of Chasseurs the first approached in perfect order, and pressed* on the extreme left of the Garibaldians, with the object of cutting off their retreat on Mentana. This charge with the bayonet, executed with extra ordinary vigour, cost us only two wounded, and produced on the Garibaldians such an effect that they retreated. Three companies on the right had deployed at this moment, and suddenly poured into the disordered masses of the enemy, making for Monte Rotondo, a tremendous fire, carrying death and demoralisation among them. The Ist of the Line, which was under orders to regulate its march by that of the other columns, here halted, and took up a position to watch the result of the attack on Mentana itself. While these events were pass ing on the right, the battalion of the 29th executed on the left a similar movement. It attacked vigor ously the wooded heights which surround the village, it pursued the tirailleurs of the enemy from hill to hill, and rapidly approached Mentana, which it threatened from the south-west. At this time a Gari baldian column, of about 1,500 men, left Monte Ro tondo, and endeavoured, after havi ng ra lli e d th e i r scattered skirmishers, to make its way into Mentana, which was keeping up a terrific resistance against the attack made by the Pontifical army in the centre. Leaving two companies to assure their retreat, the bat talion of the 29th charged this column, and compen sating for their numerical inferiority by the choice of a good position commanding the road which the Garibaldians had taken, it succeeded in hold ing the place and in preventing, until nightfall, the union of the forces which defended Mentana. After having taken the positions of the two wings of the enemy, it remained to make an attempt upon the centre. A reconnaissance vigorously carried out was made upon Mentena by the Pontifical troops who had been designated for that duty. Night did not permit them to follow up this operation, which was conse quently postponed till the morrow. The battalions of the Ist of the Line and the 29th, who were far ad vanced, received the order to leave their positions at night and to rendezvous, Ist near the 59th and the 29th near the bivouac of the Pontifical Zouaves. Accordingly all the troops encamped on the field of battle, having their picquets within gunshot of Mentana, and ready to recommence the attack at daybreak. The night passed without alarm. At half-past five in the morning Lieutenant-Colonel Bressoles, of the 59th, in visiting the pickets was informed that Mentana was evacuated. Orders were given to ascertain the fact. At the beginning of this operation a flag of truce was displayed from the Castle of Mentana, and a Garibaldian officer left the village. Both General Polhes and General Kanzler rejected the proposition to permit the defenders of Mentana to depart with their arms and baggage. At this time the reconnaissance made by the 59th had entered Mentana, and Lieut.-Col. Bressolles had a communication from the Garibaldian officer commanding the castle. Capitulation was arranged on the following conditions, which Generals Kanzler and Polhes approved of :—The defenders of the castle were to be allowed to leave, having laid down their arms, and to be conducted to the Italian frontier by a French escort. The other Garibaldians, to the number of 800, were to remain prisoners of , On the other side, theist of the Line having ascertained that the 59th had met no resistance in Mentana, made a strong reconnaissance on Monte Rotondo. Two peasants assured them that the Garibaldians had evacuated the place during the night. They, however, advanced, taking all necessary precautions to avoid surprise, but they only found peaceful inhabitants and dead and wounded Garibaldians. The Ist Regi ment, followed by the 2d battalion of Chasseurs, war. entered Monte Rotondo amid the enthusiastic accla mations of the population, mingled with cries of " Vivo l'Empereur !" The arms of the Holy Father were suddenly displayed on the roof of th© palace, the troops picked up about 2,000 guns which had been thrown away during the retreat, and they immediately set themselves to organise means of defending the place. (j regiment of Pontifical Zouaves, about 1,500 strong, occupied the castle and the town, the other troops encamped about two kilometres from the wall, near the wells which are found in that district. Our losses in this brilliant affair are two officers wounded, two soldiers killed, 36 wounded, and one missing. Tie Pontifical army, however, entrusted with the principal attack, have experienced very con' siderable losses. As to the Garabaldians, they hare suffered enormously as compared with the allied troops. The number of their dead found on the field of battle exceeded 600, and that of the wounded is in proportion. The number of prisoners is 1,600. Our troops have proved that they possess all the coolness and sang-froid necessary for those who can attain the accuracy and the well-regulated rapidity of our new rifle. General de Polhes acted with his usual vigour, and has reported to me the names of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers who particularly distinguished themselves, and which I have the honour of forwarding to your excellency, with the desire that you will submit them to his Majesty the Emperor. I cannot bettor terminate this report, M. le Marechal, than by telling your excellency with what discipline and courage the Pontifical troops behaved. This is a tribute which the French army is happy to pay. Rome, Nov. 8, 1867. DE FAILLY. C ITO ..Ort tfq• I, 1 • 411 eiri HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, NOV. 14.

They were all found on the Rhondda side. Two were brought up this morning a t two a.m., and the other at noon t3-day. The two bodies first found were called Horatio Hawkins, 22, William Thomas, 31. The other body was supposed to be David Jones, aged 32, but it presented such a horri ble and mutilatei appearance that the task of re cognition was almost impossible. The difficulties in clearing the gas from the north and south level headings, muting from the main heading in the Rhondda, are numerous, and not easily overcome• It will certainly be the end of the week before all bodies can be recovered. It is supposed there are over 70 still below. Last evening some gentlemen met together at Aberdare to consider what steps should be taken towards making provision for the bereaved. The meeting was adjourned until to-morrow (Thurs day). A few gentlemen also met together in Ponty pridd to consider the same question, and it was de termined to call a general meeting for the purpose, and to send a requ;sition to the mayors of the dif ferent boroughs in the county, asking them to con voke meetings for the same purpose in their different towns. -Nearly 100 men were sent yesterday from Llant" will Collieries to render any help possible at Fern dale. Working, however, in a perfectly different seam of coal, where no gas is found, they could be of no service underground, and, consequently, were unable to be employed. Nov. 14. No more bodies have been brought to the surface during the night. The falls in the headings and, windways impede the ventilation so much that, La" they been cleared at first, an earlier recovery of the bodies would have been certain. Mr. FECIITER is, we rejoice to know, so cow" pletely recovered from his recent indisposition that he wil l positively appear to-morrow evaning in the noblest of all his impersonations—llanzlet ! To-morrow being the last night of his management, Mr. Fechter is safe to have, as matter of course, and as he rightly deserves to have—the Lyceum Theatre crammed from floor to ceiling with 6 throng of his admirers.
