The LONDON STEAM-SHIP- AND FREIGHT CIR-
CULAR of Messrs. Alfred Brett & Co. (dated to-day)
says :—We have the.gratification of stating that,
agreeably with our previously expressed antici-
pations, general activity in Steam-Shipping has
gradually set in. There has been in the past
month a good- demand for new and second-hand
Steamers, and a fair amount of tonnage has
consequently changed hands. Several of our
builders have entered into contracts for new
steamers, and . other contracts are in course of
arrangement. Since our last report also there
has been a good demand for freightage. Steamers
both for time and single voyages have been taken
up at remunerative rates. Tonnage is still wanted
for the Lower Baltic and French ports, and for
our, coasting trades, so that altogether there is a
promising appearance of improved trade in all
quarters.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

The expected intelligence from China has arrived.
It is brief, but, so far as it goes, satisfactory. The
Peiho or Taku forts were captured by the allies 'on the
2fst of August. The fighting must have been pretty
sharp, for the allied loss was 400 killed and wounded
no British officer, however, being included among the
casualties. On our side the 67th and 44th Regiments,
and a tattalion of Royal Marine Light Infantry, along
with 1,500 French, bore the brunt of the combat. The
allied Plenipotentiaries reached Tien-Tsin a few days
afterwards, and it is to be hoped and believed they have
by this time got over all the preliminary difficulties of a
reception by the Emperor at Pekin.
Shanghai is safe,—a fresh attack against the city by
the rebels having been repulsed with terrible slaughter.
We are sorry to say that symptoms of disaffection are
stated to have recently been exhibited on the part of an
European regiment stationed at Calcutta.
Accorting to intelligence received from Marseilles, in
anticipation of the Naples mail of the 27th alt.,, the
action of the 26th, near Sessa, was far from decisive, as
asserted on behalf of the Piedmontese ; and by another
telegraph from Rome, dated the 30th, we learn that
another mere action is said to have taken place on the
troops,
he
was in
29th, between Cialdini's corps and the Neapolitans.
Cialdini, 'cording to this account, attacked the Royal-
ists at the head of a considerable body of
order to force the passage of the Garigliano, but
driven back in the first instance by the artillery, and
afterward, with the bayonet, with the loss of a great
many prisoners. The telegraph further mentions that
Capua, tho garrison of which has been reduced to 1,4:00
men, was undergoing bombardment from the
troops
under Garbaldi, but a considerable portior

0,, name of Captain Sarafield is disguised the
sonof one of the noblest dukes of the English
peerage. Lord Seymour, the heir of the illustrious
title of the Duke of Somerset, by his mother's side a
descendant of Sheridan, is the very soul of the regi-
ment sent ly the people of free England to fight for
Italian libety. Kind to his soldiers, untiring in the
performance of his duties, Lord Seymour is the model
of an officer and his courage, activity, and zeal. would
do honour t' the best officer in any army of Europe.
Of course hi; real name is known in the camp, and the

Italians are not a\ little proud- that a representative of
one of the noblest fainilies in England is in the ranks of
the national army. As Lord Seymour always wears a
sort of Indian red turban on his head, when he passes
through our camp the Garibaldini come forward, exclaim-
ing, "Here ! here ! look at the English lord !" and
asking whether they can do anything for " Sua
Eecellenza." This is a very grave position for the
eldest son of an English duke and First Lord of the
Admiralty to occupy► His lordship has either not
reflected seriously on the consequences of the step he
has taken, or he has come to a wrong conclusion regard-
ing it:

Brigadier of the Anglo-Garibaldian Legion to the

which he has had the honour to serve in Italy, he has
never seen a more severe fire of musketry, nor men who
have stood under it with greater steadiness than did the
young soldiers of the Brigade. Proud as he was to be
appointed to the command of a brigade of his country-
men,
.he feels now that he has a right to exult in the
young soldiers of Old England under his command, not

noble cause as the struggle for freedom of a great people,
but under such a leader as Joseph Garibaldi."
For the information of those parties who have sub-
scribed, to the Garibaldi fund in this country, we have
to make known that Colonel Peard has received and

The Registrar-General has got his books made up for
the quarter; and the balance shows a result that could
hardly have been looked for considering the dreary, sun-
less, rainy season, out of season, to which the accounts
refer. Poets sing the praises of sunny skies; but this
condensed history of Nngiand teaches the fact that
clouds, and rain, and cold, have virtues not yet disco-
vered. Por the quarter, then, the figures stand thus—
Marriages, 87,666; births, i 64,062 ; deaths, 86,423--
the first two items being considerably in excess, and 'the
last in diminutian,' of the average. And, in general,
from the report'it appears that although the weather
has been bad and prices of provisions high, more people
have got married, more children have been born, fewer
deaths have occurred, and pauperism has declined more
than was to be expected from the experience of past
times.

The Mayor of Rochdale, in reporting to a ukeeting of
woollen udnufacturers held at Rochdale on Wednesday
last, the result of an interview which he and other
members
of a deputation recently had with Mr. Cobden
in Paris, on the subject of duty to be charged on woollen
goods under the French Treaty, stated that he under-
stood Mr. Cobden to say that there was a probability
almost amounting to a certainty, that all woollens; and
all fabrics in which wool predominated! would be
admitted at 15 per cent., that rate to be reduced in 1864
to 10 per cent. It was probable, too, that the date of
the treaty coming into operation would be anticipated.
This latter fact is more doubtful, we suspect.
Mr. Sheridan Knowles, whom the papers so uncere=
moniously drowned the other day in the Baltic, is said
to be in a very pedtiliar pOsiticth viith fespedt to his
dramatic works. Our readers are not, perhaps, aware
that, having become a nonconformist preacher, he now
abhors as much as he fortherly loved the drama. It
unfortunately (or fortunately, perhaps, for the sake of
his consistency) happened that before his conversion, he
had parted with the Copyright td His pulllisheig; on con-
dition of receiving a yearly sum of money. This money,
the, price of moral poison, as he belietes, he now
receives, under a protest. Thus, like the celebrated
Johnny Sands, he is obliged to' look on impassive, with
his hands tied, while he is benefited against his will.
The Cork Herald says :—A telegram was received by
the local committee at Cork on Tuesday, stating that the
vessel in which the Irish Brigade had embarked had
left Havre on that day. A committee has been expressly
appointed to secure lodgings for the Brigade, and every
necessary arrangement has been already made for their
reception. They will be clothed, lodged, and enter-
tained as gentlemen during their sojourn in that city,
which will extend to three or four days. The estimated
expenditure for that purpose is £2,000; which will be
thus allocated to the 486 libeiated prisoners emnposing

On Friday last her Majesty, attended by the ladies
and gentlemen of the Court, rode (nit on „homback,
and, on retuning to the Oastie, the Royal party verb
overtaken by a shower of rain. As they were pass-
ing the lodge gate of the Eton playing fields, two
of the students were §tanding near, who, with the
inherent politeness of an Etonion, asked if they might
be permitted to offer to the Queen and her lady in
attendance their umbrellas. The offer was graciously
accepted by her' Majesty. Shortly afterwards the
rain ceased, and the umbrellas were brought back to
the young gentlemen by Lord Alfred Paget, the equerry
in waiting, with her majesty's likeness on the obverse
side of a sovereign, which the Queen bad sent to each
of the boys, in acknowledgthent Of their politeness.
The delighted youths lost no tithe in engaging the
services of Mr. Martin, the Eton jeweller, for the pur-
pose of having them appended to their watch chains, an
ornament, it need not be added, they prize far beyond
the-intrinsic value of their gold watches. The names
of the youths are the Hon. Mr. Ponsonby,' 'and Mr.
Salt, son of the member for Stafford, both pupils in the
house of Mr. Waite.

WHAT IS TO BECOME OF THE POPE ?

PoPVLAR interest in Italian affairs is directed
more to the extremes of north and south than to
Central Italy, and the question, " What is to
become of the Pope ?" which recently occupied
so much attention, is now less frequently dis-
cussed or alluded to. We have always maintained
that the Pope is not yet destined to leave Rome,
were it for no other reason than that LOUIS
NAPOLEON will not permit him. If the Roman
Catholic world is to have a Pope at all, it seems
very clear that he must be at. Rome. That he
might, under the pressure of adversity, make a
temporary retreat from his capital, is only to
admit, that what he has done before, he might
do again, if allowed. But it is not within the
range of probability that the Holy Father will
ever be persuaded to renounce his claim to

occupy at least the Vatican, or fietithineritly to
take up his head quarters on any other spot iit
Christendom. Obliged to fly, and free to follow
his own bent, the Pope might, for a time,
establish his court in some foreign lan 1, but even
that step would only be taken under protest, and
Would certainly be follo*ed Up by the most
strenuous and unscrupulous efforts of all the
really faithful to organise some scheme for his
restoration. Once safely located on the soil of
some friendly Catholic Power, such as Spain, the
Pdpe would ftihttinate his loudest and mast
unqualified ariathenias against hia enemies: Even
Ldtrig NAPOLEON might then tremble for his
life and dynasty: The secret influence of the
whole Body of the priesthood, of the Jesuits, and
of every secular and religious body in any way
attached to the church would be brought to bear
with the iitniost possible intensity. That faith-
ful son of Holy. Mothet Church who should by
any process " remove" those degenerate sons,
whose parricidal arms have been uplifted against
the territorial power of his Holiness, might safely
rely on the highest honours of canonisation. At
present the POtie virtually a prisoner, and
dare not do his osvij will. 'Weie he not " eribbedi
cabined, and confined" by his French gaolers,
he would soon find men and means to carry out
his high behests. No one knows this better than
Louls NAPOLEON. Therefore the Pope shill not
leave Rome.

But what is to be the future temporal position.
of the Pope in Rome ? We have repeatedly
advaii6ed the cOnjectitre that atirlie compromise
would be attempted whereby the Read of the
Church should possess the Vatican, and the
King of Italy or some representative of the
temporal power the Quirinal, conveniently sepa-
rated from each other as distinct quarters of the
ancient capital, by the classical waters of the
old Tiber flowing between. The probability of
this behig nearly a correct view seems to receive
some additional strength from Certain documents
newly ptiblished in the !preface to the second
edition of Mr. ARTHUR'S a Italy in Transi-
TheY consist of drafts of decrees
from the archives of the first ; and
it is fairly argued that as the nephew's plans
have been frequently modelled on those of his
uncle, an authentic disclosure of what these
really were, as regarded the disposal of the Pope
in 1808, cannot fail to be interesting and
impertarit It is , *ell known that in 1814
Austria took poeisessiOn of the arChites of the
then Kingdom of Italy; but, we are told, the
'more secret papers were secured by NAPOLEON'S
Minister, ALDINt, who left them by will to his
'secretary, Wii.O etinirriitteci theta to the friend and
relation of his principal, the Cavaliere GENNA-
BELLI, editor of the Government Documents, who
now for the first time brings them to light in his
book, 1 Lutti dello Stato Romano, from which
the English author has translated them. From
these documents it would appear that the inten-
tions of NAPOLEON L were—First, That the
Pope should possess no territory but the Church
and Square of St. Peter's, arid the two palaces of
the Vatican and the inoisition. Second, That
thesecond Papal residence—the Quirinal—was
'to become an ithperial palace. Third, That
the City; with a small strip of barren territory
close round it, and a few mountain towns, should
be placed under a Government independent both
of the Pope and the Kingdom of Italy, but
dependent on the Emperor. Fourth, , That the
Pope's revenue shohld be about a million of
Italian lire, or about thirty to thirty-five thou-
sand pounds sterling a year. These measures
are said to have been concerted and so far
shaped out in September; .1808: The execu-
tion Of theni was of course delayed, ' chiefly,
perhaps, by the state of 'affairs in Spain; and
when NAPOLEON 1., once more victorious at
Witgram,ht have seen them P4rcivci into
effect, he was provoked by the Pope's excom-
munication, and proceeded to the unwise extreme
of demanding :the Pope's unqualified abdicatian,
and removed him aitogether from the city.
These draft decrees minutely specify the
bmindary between what was to be the " Roman
territory;" and the " Kingdoin of Italy," by a
line, which, departing front CerthVeri, and follow-
ing a distance of two miles from the sea, again
touched the point of departure: It may be
interesting to note the forth of do+ernment with
Which the Roman. people were to be favciiited.
The Governthent of the city and territory was to
be composed of a Senator and a Magistracy of
forty Conservators. The executive power, and
the initiation of laws was to be iedied in the
Senator. The Magistraey of ConserVators was
to be ptirelY legislative; that is to say, it could
not originate a proposition of law,
.but it might
record and sanction any project submitted to it
by the genatar: The Senator was always to be
appointed by the Emperor; and to hold office
for life. The Emperor Wail' to' noriiihate' the
first Magistracy, holding
.office for only four
years. When they should have to be replaced,
the Senator was to fill up vacancies from a double
list to be presented to him by the Magistracy.'
The Pope was to be at liberty to appoint any
officials he pleased for the administration of the
property and dependencies left freely belonging
td him as above-mentioned.
The history of above half a century which has
elapsed since these schemes were planned at St.
Cloud, has doubtless taught LOUIS NAPOLEON
some lessens of wisdom which his great ancestor
did not enjoy, Circumstances, moreover, are now
so materially changed that any attempt by the
present Emperor to realise the. original idea of
his uncle would necessarily require considerable
modification in the details. And it is not to be-
overlooked that as the author of these decrees
was impelled by unforeseen contingencies to fol•
lob an entirely different policy from that he' had
sketched ctrit, So it is quite possible that what-
ever may 'be the present intentions of Louts
NAPOLEON, some entergency now little calculated
on may suddenly arise which shall so eomplicate
the situation, as to mar all his plans, and drive
Min. to the adoption of measures which as yet
haiie not Ontereci into any part of his programme.
So true is that While man proposes, God alone
disposes. But if we are to speculate as to what
shall become of the Pope, we think we are fully
warranted in concluding that he shall stay at
Rome if Louts NAPOLEON and six hundred
thousand French bayonets can keep him there.

GRAM) REVIEW OP THE FRENCH IMPERIAL GUARD.
—The review of the infantry, artillery, and part of the
cavalry,fof the Imperial Guard on Tuesday, by the
Emperor Napoleon; on the wide plain which divides
the Boig de BoOlogne from the Seine, must have been
a very ilithi'esting Spectacle. About twenty thousand
men were present; of whom about fifteen thousand
were infantry and:the remainder artillery and cavalry.
The troops, arrived on the gforind in heavy marching
order, aid duly accompanied by the eanteeu waggons.
The horses were immediately picketed, the tenter
d' abri lose as if by, magic, fires were lighted through-
out the impromptu encampment, fatigue parties were
sent to the Seine for water, and the troops proceeded to
cook and eat their breakfast, evidently enjoying the
thing as a diversion to the monotony of barrack life.
During this time the Emperor was entertaining at break-
fast all the officers, from the rank of captain upwards,
in the 'pavilion on the race-course, which is specially
devoted to his use. A portion of the artillery of the guardarrived with a pontoon train at about eleven, and con-
structed a bridge near the Seine, at a point where the
river is 150 yards wide, and where there is a very slight .
current. It was done very quickly, but not with that
excessive rapidity we hear talked about, three quarters
of an hour being consumed in the operation. At one
the bugles and drums sounded a call, and the tents were
in less than five minutes struck, folded up, and with the
tent-poles and comprehensive though simple batterie de
cuisine, strapped on the knapsacks. Within another
five minutes the troops had fallen in, and formed in
marching order. The manoeuvres of a field day were
then gone through. The file-firing lacked that regular
roll which armies disciplined on the, old-fashioned plan
are remarkable for. A charge of cavalry (lancers and
dragoons) wound up the manoeuvres. Two men were
thrown, and one fell with his horse. The charge is .
described as have been greatly wanting in dash ; but as
a spectacle veity striking. The troops then formed in
column and filed off before the Emperor,
passing over
the pontoon bridge.
The review was not over until
half-past four. The, weather, though the fog nem
cleared up, was not unpropitious.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
(FROM OIJ OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, Nov. 1.
It is astonishing what a change has taken place
in publiC opinion here within the last forty-eight
hours, on the question of peace or war. The per-
suasion in all well-informed quarters is now almost
universal,. that a moderate and pacific policy bas
triumphed, and that war has not only been
adjourned, but has been postponed for a long time.
Austria, it is now positiVely stated; has given the
French Government such specific assurances that
all its preparations have no other object but to
defend its possessions, that tL9re is no longer any
excuse fOr.Vrame not believing and
acting upon
them: But it is added, that she at the sane time
seeks to Obtain froth France a guarantee for tliG
preservation of Venetia, on the ground that tbL
province was in substance guaranteed to her by
the Treaty of Zurich,—a demand which Napoleon
111. has however as yet contrived to evade. His
astute Majesty will probably say, that if
any such guarantee was included in that treaty,
it was conditional on Venetia forming. part
of the Italian Confederation,—an event
which is not very likely now to happen.
The 'same argument may, by-the-bye, be used
wih reference to the Papal question. The two
Imperial parties to the Zurich treaty fully under-
stood that His Holiness was to grant certain
reforms and concessions, as the price of their
maintaining, or aiding in maintaining, him in his.
temporal power and possessions but it is noto-
rious that none of the promises to the Holy
Father has been kept: Can he therefore complain
that Napoleon 1114 and the Emperor Joseph have
failed in their part of the agreement, if he has
not adhered to his own engagements ?.
I have not sent you any account of the grand
review on Tuesday, for no doubt full details of it
would reach you in other ways. I will mere'
remark, that the object of this, as the French
say, "military solemnity," was to try a new mode
of encanipirient in place of that ordinarily em-
ployed, and which *as admittedly attended hi
many inconveniences, more esPeCially in ftaiy.
MM. Adams and Lemni have offered to Gari=
baldi the chairmanship of the Southern Italy
Railway Company, of which he granted to theal
the concession, and they. announced at the same
time that they would give the name of the
" Garibaldi Railway" to the branch which, in
little less than a month, will unite Naples .with
Rome. The Dictator replied to the offer .in the
following terms :
I gratefully accept the presidency of the • Southent
Italy Railway Company, which you have been so good
as to offer to me. This national work, accomplished in
Italy with so much energetic patriotism, will be the
pledge of the happiness which I have endeavoured to
evoke in behalf -of our dear Italy, and towards the
development of which I call upon all patriots to give'
their aid.—l am, &c., G. GA:RIBALDr.
The Grand Duke of Tuscany is coining to Paris
immediately. -
I have just heard of some very interesting
episodes which characterised the journey to Paris
from Marseilles of the first batch of Irish dis-
mi6ed- from the Pontifical army. One of the
Irish found 'himself on the journey in the same
situation with the happy man in the " Arabian
Nights;" who Was Without his shirt—with this
important difference; however, that the poor
Irishman was to a -Vettlean condition, and also
very melancholy. A benevolent individual who

other similar traits of kindness and generosity
which are cited, is the case or the thirty poor
women belonging to the barrier of Mont Par-
nasse, who clubbed together their little gifts to
purchase thirty shirts for these poor, creatures, who
were at the time even worse off than themselves,
saying to them as they-took from-them the long-
worn shirts which they had on, "We will wash
them and mend them so thatthey may be ready:
to be put on by
.your companions who are to
follow you." It appears, as I think I stated in
my last, that in a day or two another detichnient
of about 400. Irish, who have been following a
similar wild-goose chase, is expected in Paris.

P.S.—I observe that the second brigade of

NAPLES.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
NAPLES, Oct. 27, 1860.
I send you some intelligence of interest re-
lating to fli.eta.; for which I am mainly indebted
to the journal Independeint, which is very well
informed of all that passes at Gaeta and at
Capua, for the editor of that paper (the author of
" Monte Christo") has two reporters attached to
the staff of Garibaldi who are in attendance on
Generals Milbitz and Bixio.
In the course of the 24th a Piedmontese officer
bearing a flag of truce presented himself at
Tianai charged With a mission in the interests of
humanitp He canie to ask the Royalist officers
and soldiers if they were quite resolved to fight ?
to which enquiry part of them, who belonged to
the Division Barbalonga, replied in the negative.
This division was disbanded the same day, and,
on account of their disaffected spirit, the soldiers
cornpaing it, were distributed among the men of
another division. fop remainder of the troops,
nearly 20,000 in numbe4 107 sent on the 25th
to Sessa. It is believed at t_Titeta that they are
directed on Garigliano.
At Sera, Captain PayAno, who commands a
regiment of Royal Marine Infantry,
has under
him more than 1,000 men, whom he has recruitt.:4
from the ranks of the old police force of Naples.
At Isoletta, a Swiss colonel, Lagrange, is at
the head of 2,000 men, of whom 1,000 are armed.
On the 25th, at daybreak, two Garibaldian
steamers, which were steaming along the coast,
fired a dozen shots upon the troops stationed
between Mount Dragone and the Garigliano.
Yesterday evening King Francis 11. nominated.
• to the rank of Lieutenant-General the following
officers:—MM. Mellone, Casella, Travena, Count,
de Trepani, his uncle; Serraro, Salgano, San Vitoo'
and Caraceiok. Count de Caserta went the saute
day to Capua with three officers of artillery. He
has not returned to Gaeta since.
Capua being invested, the Count de Ceserta
will beyond doubt fall into the hands of the Gari-
baldians, • and the proof of his having been sur-
rounded, is that yesterday (the 26th), between
4 pc, and 6.16 P.M., a lively cannonade was heard
in his direction, and several shells were observed
to burst on the banks of the Garigliano. In the
evening, towards seven o'clock, several Royalist
horsemen arrived at Gaeta without their arms. :7
They were asked where they came from, and they
replied that the troops who remain faithful to •
Francis to the number of 20,000 men, had
attacked the Piedmontese; that the• Royalists had.
' been beaten, and that a great part of the Neapo-
litan Cavalry had been made prisoners. Yester-
day evening the inhabitants of the suburbs of
Gaeta, on hearing the cannonade, began to carry
off their valuables, being afraid that' they would
be plundered by the Royalists. On the 26th.
several carts filled with muskets, sabres and rifles
arrived at Gaeta. These were the arms which
had been picked up on the road after the deser-
tion of the men at Barbalonga.
At Gaeta, there are about 3,000 men; the re-
mainder marched for Sera and the Isoletta on the
13th and three following days. From 2,500 to
3,000 men only were left at Capua down to the
26th. A' camp of 1,000 men has been formed on.
the Garigliano; but since the cannonade was
heard yesterday, we have no idea what has be-
come of them. There are no less than 12 men- •
of-war in the harbour at present, one of the ships
being a Spanish vessel called the Colon. It was
noticed there on the arrival of the English ship
Renown from Naples, the latter vessel saluted
the Fort with 21 guns and the French admirals
with 15. The salutes were returned gun for gun.
The King has not been at Capua for some days,
but on passing along the street, one could see the
Queen Mother on the balcony of the Palace,
habited in mourning. The young Queen is also
residing at the Palace.
On the morning of the 25th, the joiners in the
arsenal at Naples broke out into revolt.; they
sounded the alarm-be.ll, which brought out all
the workmen, and they rushed to the office of
Colonel de Luca, the director of the naval en-
gineers' department, calling out, " Down with the
Dictator!" M. de Luca hail the presence of mind
to come out from his office aod say to the rioters,
s, You don't want me,—Oh; very well, I am off;"
but instead of going away, he went up stairs to
another room, where, however, he encountered
five of the fellows on the second Jandingp who
each stabbed him with their daggers. His
wounds are very serious; but the, perpetrators
remain undiscovered. _ _

Yesterday morning General Bisio, in making a
reconnaissance near Santa Maria, fell with his
horse into a ditch, and had his left leg broken in
two places, his body, and particularly his face,
being at the same time much bruised. For some
moments, the officers who accompanied bin',
imagined he was dead. He had sufficient strength
to ask for pencil and paper to write to his old
father, and his wife and children ; but his state
is very 'alarming.
There is no ,end to the, misfortunes of the
loung king. He delays to fight until it is too
ate, and' When he has power for the combat 110

ITALY.:
(FROM OUR CORRESPOIMENT.)
ROME, 25th October, 1860 i
The Giornale of Rome,'in its number or yester-
day, gives the last word of General Lamoriciere
as to what. passed bets een him and the Due de
Grammont. The French Ambassador addressed
a telegraphic despatch to the Pontifical General.
It was the pro-Minister for War, MajOr de
Merode, who proMised him the important aid
from France, agreeably, he sayk4 to What he had
had learnt at the French Enibitssy. It is per-
fectly understood that the despatches of the
troops who SilliSequently arrived in order to
klefend the patrimony of St. Peter, may have
ibeen
Understood at the Ministry of War, as
directed against the entry of the Piedmontese
into~nnria and the Marches ; the false inter-
pretation thus communicated to the Pontifical
General, led to his taking up these strange
strategical positions, which in the short space of
twelve days, brought about the total destruction
of his army.
At this period the Emperor was making his
progress through the south of France. At one of
the places where he halted he was informed of the
Speech in which Garibaldi talked of proclaiming
" the unity of Italy from the top of the Quirinal."
The consequence was, he conceived it necessary to
reinforce the garrison of Rome; but this reinforce-
nient_had no reference whatever to the
.Piedmon-
tese who had entered into the Marches and
Umbria. If it had been otherwise, it would have
failed in the object of its mission, which was, to
stop Garibaldi if he threatened Rome.
General Lamoriciere also speaks of a telegram
of M. de Courcy, the French Consul at Ancona.
It ,appears that this functionary had made thu
same mistake as the pro-Nfinistcnat-War... More-
over, complaints are also Made in official quarters
against Austria, who is alleged to have made
promises which it did not" keep. All this shows
What a Credulous ear is lent by the court of Rome
to all those officials who are anxious to flatter it
With chimerical hopes. The Government of His
Holiness has just received froth Madrid five mil:
lions either of reals or of francs, I am not certain
which. Succour has been sent to the Irish pri-
soners who were restored, to liberty at Genoa, by
an ordinance of Victor Emmanuel.

Ueneral Lamoriciere positively returns to
Prance. Great efforts were made to retain his
services ' • but he has bound himself not to serve
against Victor Emmanuel for a year. Other
superior officers, less scrupulous, have again taken
service against the King, under the pretext that
the Holy See has power to release them from
their oaths. If this be so, it is discreditable to
all parties concerned; and any officers who have
thus acted, if again caught, will meet With 'no
sympathy-if they are severely punished.
