which we hesitate not to call a great misfortune !
Evidently upon these Who have counselled, pre-
pared, and precipitated the departure of Pius IX.
It is Garibaldi who will enter Rome, but it is the
Ministers of Pius IX.. who will have opened the
gates to him." Does not this look as if the matter
was already une afaire arrangee?
A letter from Naples, dated the 15th, contains
sonic extraordinary intelligence regarding the
present occupations of Francis 11. at Gaeta:—" The
King is at Gaeta, a Parliament has been
convoked, and lie has named a Minister.
The foreign Ambassadors, save those of France
and England, are beside him, he is in fact pre-
siding over an organised Government. It appears
that in a proclamation, which I have not been
able to procure, Francis 11. assures his loving
subjects, that he has a great love for liberal
institutions, and that he entertains nothing but
esteem for his people, although he has been
obliged to recoil before a set of daring adven-
turers, and a handful of revolutionists." The same
writer mentions that the siege of Capua has
commenced, and he adds, that " if the attack is
vigorous, the resistance will also be, probably,
more vigorous than is generally believed. The
Neapolitans fight well before stone walls, when
they have made up their minds to fight," and the
fact is recalled of Garibaldi having lost 1,000 men
at Milazzo, which was not nearly so well fortified
as Capua. Francis 11. is said to be able "to
reckon on having 50,000 men behind Volturno,
amongst whom are 6,000 Bavarians and foreign-
ers, excellent mercenary troops, and Capua is the
only town which keeps up communication be-
tween the two banks of the river, and it is
necessary to get possession of it before the war
can be continued in Upper Italy." But this was
written before the news of Lamoriciere's disaster
had arrived,
I have just read the latest accounts received
here and the latest details respecting the battle
of Ancona, or Castel Fidardo. Gene Lamoriciere,
who commanded the first corps, was rejoined at
Macereta on the morning of the 1.4 h by Gen.
de Pimodan. He decided that on the following
day, he would attack the Piedmontese lines,
which intercepted the route, and that he would
throw himself in person with his army into the
fortress of Ancona. The attack took place,
accordingly, on the morning of the 18th. There
was a terrible fight. The two armies exhibited
equal courage, and both experienced pot siderable
loss. The Piedmontese lines were formidably
established, and the Pontifical troops could not
force them. Three times they rushed to the
attack, and thrice they were forced to fall back.
At the third attack, General de Pimodan was
wounded by several bullets, cud was carried off
the field in a dying state. General Lamoriciere
placed himself at the head of a small column, and
succeeded in cutting his way through the enemy's
army, so as to gain the mountain, and enter
Ancona. General de Pimodan died in the course
of the night of the ISth, in consequence of his
wounds.- The town of Ancona, it is added, in
spite of the bravery of General Lamoriciere and
of his little. army, being i4yested by land and sea,
is inevitably lost ; and it is stated that the Sar-
dinian army, which has obtained such a decisive
advantage, proposes, in honourable contrast to
the conduct of its opponents, and with a view of
sparing the inhabitants of Ancona, to subject the
town to a rigorous blockade, and thus compel the
garrison to surrender.

Their Majesties are expected at St. Cloud next
Monday evening ; and shortly after their return
they will go to Compeigne.

la Duchesse weee deposited in one of the vaults
