made prisoners in this affair—probably for the
best of reasons.
What is quite certain, however, amidst so much
that is of an opposite kind, is, that the position of
Garibaldi,. already weakened •by the Piedmontese
expedition .into the Boman States, is • compromised
still more in one, direction, by financiary difficul-
ties, by his resistance to annexation,; and above
all, by the preponderance in his counsels of the
• Mazzinian element. In proportion, as he desires
to separate himself from the ministry of Cavour,
in the same proportion lids impelled in the direc-
• • tion of that element which absorbs him more than
it strengthens him. In fact, it is quite impossible
to get at the real ha ture of the relations which he
appears to be cultivating so assiduously with IVlaz-
zini and his set: an example—an Italian journal,
the Nontade, declares that " the Dictator wished
to. present Joseph Mazzini .to the Neapolitan
people, but that he refused to be presented," stating
that it was not his iitention- to take any. part in
the present Italian movement, for reasons which
,! • he *as about to give in a manifesto which he was
keeping for publication, under the title of Ni
apaptat 7zi. rebelle." Here. is .a. nut to crack for
Italian politicians as to the progressed siege of
Capua. I observe that the Evening Papers of
last night relate that the Garibaldians have re-
served' the offensive: On'the 23rd, they attempted
.to capture a strong convoy of provisions that was
coming from Gaeta to Capua,. but General Boreo,
(who,' as I mentioned above, is said to be
.with the King, having made a sortie from
'Canna,. at the head of a column of infantry,
and two Squadrons of cavalry, they with-
drew, and - the Convoy succeeded in entering
the place, which would appear not to be com-
Idetely invested and unmolested. This looks
rather like another check, and moreover, Bertani
is .statee. to have addressed, by orders of Garibaldi,
a circular to all the Lord-lieutenants (intendants)
of the provinces urging them to press forward as
actively as possible the enrolment of ' Volunteers
throughout the kingdom of Naples:
According to more recent information, the
pontifical ultimakin was conceived in less specific
terms than those I reported to yon in my former
letters: It is nowsaid that the conditions on which
alone his Holiness would consent to remain in Rome,
was that "he should receive satisfaction" con-
cerning the aggression of Piedmont, a very dif-
ferent thing, and I am now informed that to the
clever pen of Mr. Tropling, president of the
Senate, has been confided by the Government
and the Emperor the task of composing some kind
of explanatory " note " to the Holy See, in which
he is to justify the French Government and
repudiate all responsibility as regards the conduct
ut•Piedmont. , Further, the French Government
has • resolve& almost to double the corps of occu-
pation at RODI 6, and to bring up the amount of
the garrison to 20,000: men. Tho Dursein
Gerandin,' which- forms part of the army of Lyons,
has been ordered: to start at once for Rome, and
the. transports for their conveyance are already
• prepared and' waiting the arrival of the troops at
Toulon. to brinip them to their destination. At
the same time, itfis the general opinion in Paris
.r: rat 'these measures of tith Government of the
Emperor are not to be taken as indicative of any
• change of, policy, or of attitude on its part. No
enlarged :powers have been given to M. de Goyon ;
he has only been reinforced so far as to enable
him to defend, Rome Should it be attacked by a
force of Garibaldians. At -least this is even-
tuality, against Which the Emperor professedly
desirous to make
.provision by sending these
large reinforcements. I have only to add
that many per Sons continue to believe in the
robability- of the near approach of the departure
of His Holiness

Further details have arrived regarding the
operations at .Ancona. The contest has been
most sanguinary. The Gate, which gives
access to the suburb of that name, was taken and
retaken five times, and after the last attack it
remained in the hands of the assailants, who
greatly, outnumbered the besieged. The besieging
force- amounts to 30,000 men, whilst that of the
garrison does not exceed 8,000. General Lamo-
riciere, to do him justice, is making superhuman
efforts to defend the place, but it cannot hold out
much longer. It appears that he had with him a
body of 1,500 men when he effected an entrance
into Ancona, after the battle of Castelfidardo.
In the direction of Rome the Piedmontese
advance posts are at Braceiono, and soon the
troops of Victor Emmanuel will be encamped
under the very walls of the Papal residence.
Their commanders have orders to occupy every
point on which the French army is not estab-
lished, and to act in entire accord with. General
Goyon in all the measures which he may con-
sider it necessary to take for guaranteeing the
personal' security of the Pope. They, re also
charged to do their utmost to prevent any colli-
sion , between the Garibaldian troops and the
French.

Yesterday the Cardinal Archbishop of Bour-
deaux celebrated in the Cathedral of that city
a solemn service in honour of the memory of the
gallant General Pimodan, whose loss is deeply
mourned. This leads me to mention that there
is at this moment no little commotion in the
general body of the Paris clergy, among whom
the Cardinal Archbishop is accused, rightly or
wrongly, of his never having once pronounced
the 'name of the Holy Father throughout the
whole period of his ecclesiastical retraite which
has just taken place, And, moreover, of having
purposely abstained, as well as his vicars-general,
from appearing gat the meeting at which the dean
and the Paris cures made the proposal for an
address of sympathy to the faithful. Is this to
regarded as another symptom of playing off the
ancient Gallican party- in the church against the
Ultramontane, and has this anything to do with
the present policy Which the Emperor ss adopting
towards his Holiness ?

From the death of her sister, the Empress has
been a prey to the deepest, grief, and has been
absolutely no one. The Emperor has also been
very quiet in his habits since his retnrn.

The Bourse continues to preserve its firmness
and attitude, and a beneficial feeling has been
pursued by the publicrtion of a letter by one of
the leading financiers, drawing attention to the
desirableness of removing the various restrictions
that are'-at present imposed on monetary trans-
actions. Prices are still sustained. •

ITALY.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
MILAN, September 26.

The Pungolo of Milan, in its number of yester
day, announces that the correspondent of the
Times. at Naples has written a long letter to 'that
journal, entitled " The political parties in Italy,"
which, I believe, is nearly ten days after I called
the attention of your readers to the same subject.
The PungOlo also announces that the limes' cor-
respondent states that the dissensions now existing
between the Cavorian and Garibaldian partisans
are much less serious than is represented by .the
respective, parties of these two great political
pilots of the Italian barque, one insisting to steer
for one port and the other for ,another. To read
the paragraph of the Pungolo one is not only
embarrassed but anxious to, know the correspon-
dent's definition -of " trifling complications." If
the writer means by .trNing- complications that
Sicily- and Naples are on the point of civil war—
that there is the bitterest feelings existing between
venturers who are now in posses-
the political ad
sion of the country and the most honoured and
infihential citizens of the -two Sicilles, who ear-
nestly but in vain implore the Dictator to at once
convoke the elective colleges for the vote by uni-
versal suffrage. I- for one cannot subscribe to his
doctrinepassing coniplications.' of trOing and
Can this correspondent call the late and. present
state of Sicily tr ing
,complications, which have
iii
led to six changes of the Sicilian Ministry in
little more than; four months;?.. Are these the
trifling complications of the Ttmes' correspondent
which has induced more despotic Jacks-in-office
to violate that sacred liberty.for which Garibaldi
is now fighting,. by throwing into the prisons of
the despotic Bourbons the citizens of Palermo,
and banishing others, because their only crime
was demanding their annexation to the liberal
and constitutional Goveiiiment of Piedmont ?
Is it not (to use Burchen expression in the Vicar
of Wakefield) " fudge" to talk about the " holy
patriotism " of many of those men who shout
" Viva la liberta." But if we must take off the
deceitful,yarnish and honestly declare the truth
is not in their hearts ;—greater tyrants than the
worst creatures of the late despotic Government
of Francis 11. Woe to the man who would dare
to dispute their creed or thwart them in their
designs, should they be unbridled in their resent-
ments, ambition, and p3wer. This may be
unpalatable to some ; but as an honest writer I
cannot and will not drceive my countrymen, or
tickle their fancies by roniaritic inventions d la
Dunzas. The truth will, I fear, soon become too
evident should Garibaldi persist in his mad
policy. I have said :.could Garibaldi persist ;
but I ought 'rather to say that there is every
reason to believe that he is determined to pursue
at all risks his march to Rome, in defiance of the
French and the Eniperor 'Napoleon, especially
.when we turn, our eyes to he last paragraph of his
proclamation to the volunteers, dated Naples, 19th
September, where we find these words : "Italians!
the present moment is supreme. Our brethren'
ore already engaged with the stranger in the
heart of Italy. Let us go to meet them in Rome,
and from thence procted with our march upon
Venetian soil." This language is so clear that
there' can be no longer any doubt that Garibaldi
has shut up his ears to all counsel and advice
from the King, his Government, and the best
friends Of.,ltaly: The Opinione, of the 23rd
instant, has en excellent article on this subject,
from Which it appea-s that, should Garibaldi
attempt to attack the French at Rome, the
Government of the King is resolved to oppose
..,this insane attempt with the force of arms.
The concluding paragraph will explain to your
readers the feeling of ,the respectable portion of
the press this painful di vision between Garibaldi
and the Ministry. We now ask those Italians
Who pessess the slightest common., sense, if the
Government of the King can accept, a pingramme
which -would forcelter into immediate war with
France. The personal quarrel between these two
"'len (Cavour and Garibaldi) at once disappears
before the,
politio4l,impoitauce of the question.

Two political programmes in the name of Victor
Emmanuel are, absolutely impossible. The
Government of the King solemnly declares that
it will respect Rome, and Garibaldi, in the name
of. Victor Emmanuel, announces that he will only
Pr"lai,111: the annexation from the Quirinal.. We
ask our readers was ever seen such a political
contradiction, wherein a general commands iu
the name of Italy and Victor Emmanuel, and at
the same time prepares war against France, the
ally of Italy and of Victor Emmanuel? The
Diritto'ha. s alsO a long article on the same theme,
which concludes with these words—" A tremend-
ous duel has commenced between 'two men who
have now in 'their hands the destinies of Italy.
If this duel does not speedily cease, the ruin of
the country is inevitable." These journals are
now writing,. what I, two months ago, told your
readers would be the result of the present revolu-
tion, and the impossibility for any human creature
to uproot the deadly enmity of the political fac-
tions of this country, who, to-morrow, would
once more throw the country into the hands of

is
Italian, who loves his count' ; but, unfortunately,
he is no more than a man, and subject to all those
weaknesses to which the "flesh is heir;" and we
now see that his good sense and noble heart has
been overcome by the dangerous men by whom
he is surrounded, and by his own obstinacy and
dangerous policy he has, within the last few days,
lost 50 per cent. of that good opinion and popu-
larity which he enjoyed a week ago. Is it not
the essence of insolence and tyranny on the part
of a man, great and illustrious as he may be, but
who now seems to be reeling about from the
intoxicating effects of his late successes, to dare
sto propose to his Sovereign the immediate dis-
missal of three of the principal Ministers of the
Crown—men who have for. a long series of years
enjoyed the unlimited confidence of their Sove-
reign and the country—men who have for a long
series of years unremittingly laboured for the
liberty and regeneration. of Italy. One day the
Pungolo indulges in the following canzone—" It
is useless to disSimulate—Naples like Palermo,
Palermo like Perugia and Ancona, are only so
many stations on the high road to Venice.
Friends and enemies are aware of this. The
nation desires that this should be the only thought
of the Government, it being the ()Teat desire and
determination of the nation. The same journal,
finding that the Republican party acts upon the
principles set forth by the •Pungela, rush after
them on their road to Rome, and, pulling them
back by the skirts of their coats, cry out " Stop,
stop ; think of your gratitude to the French—
think that it was to the blood of these generous
strangers you owe your present liberty." I say
a truce to such nonsense as gratitude: What have
we to do with such an absurdity as gratitude,
when our individual interests are at stake ? In
whatever way we view the present position of
the affairs of this country, we see nothing but
danger from every quarter, and especially when
we are forced to confess the real materials of
Garibaldi's army. Much has been said of the
mercenary and cosmopolitan composition of the
Papal army; but it is six of one and half a dozen
of the other, with perhaps less discipline and order
in that of Garibaldi's than that of the Pope. We
must not forget that the majority of GaribalCs
army is made up of the lowest dregs of Italian so-
ciety, and young men whose means were in such a
desperate state that they gladly availed themselves
of this means of avoiding the importunities of
their pressing creditors. Then we, have Hun-
garians, Poles, French, English, Germans, Greeks,
and Spaniards, the very fact of which excites the
utmost alarm, and proves the formidable task the
government of this country will have to
counter should it determine to oppose with its
army the contemplated invasion of the city of
Rome by the Garibaldini; but it is most earnestly
to be hoped that the general will see the folly of
such a proceeding, and save the country from
such a terrible confusion and utter destruction of
what has already been gained should he disregard
the advice of his best and most disinterested
friends. The telegram this morning announces
that the Sardinian ambassador will remain for
another week or ten days before quitting Paris.
Really it is time that this French comedy should
finish, and that Louis Napoleon should, once for
all, be made to believe that the other powers of
Europe are not such fools as he takes them to be.
To whom must we attribute the present agitated
state of Europe ? Is it consistent with common
sense that the invasion of the Marches and Umbria
would have been . undertaken unless with the
indirect acquiescence of Napoleon ? The whole
Policy of France has inspired such a general
mistrust throughout Europe that at last she will
find herself the victim of her own cunning. Nor
can we' wonder that Russia should be disposed
to forget the base ingratitude of Austria during
the Crimean war, in order to cement an alliance
of the northern powers, for the sole purpose of
checking the policy and ambition of France, and
the further progress of the revolutionary move-
ment. A telegram just arrived states that the
Pope has intimated to the French Government
that, unless it will order the Piedmontese troops
to retire from the -Papal States; the Pope is
resolved at all risks to abandon Rome. This is,
perhaps, what the French Government most
desires, in order to be saved the serious cense-
quencesrthat might ensue by being brought into
a hostile feeling with Garibaldi. The French'
troops, of course, leaving to Garibaldi a clear field
the moment the Pope has abandoned that city.
In the event of his Holiness leaving Rome it is
said that he is determined not to go. to France,
but that he will accept for his present residence
the city of Wiirzburg. It is also said that the
Government of Russia has offered the Holy
Father the Castle of Bihul. Should this report
turn out to be true some people imagine that it
will facilitate the termination of the Italian ques-
tion. I am of a contrary opinion, and rather
believe it will entail the most serious consequences
upon Piedmont. The bombardment of Ancona
still continues, several of the forts being already
dismantled ; but it is reported that Lamoriciere is
determined to defend the city and forts While one
stone remains upon another: I cannot leave this
part of my letter without recording the noble
and chivalrous conduct of Generals Fanti and
Cialdini. From private information it appears
that Madame Lamoriciere applied to the Sar-
dinian ambassador at Paris for information
respecting her husband, whereupon Signor Nigra
immediately wrote to his government for the
desired information. The Sardinian Government,
upon receiving their ambassador's communication,
sent a telegraphic despatch to General Fanti, who
at once despatched an officer to Ancona with a
flag of truce to deliver the request
,of Madame
Lamoriciere to the General, and to inform him
that, if he wished to write to his .wife, the
letter should be at once forwarded to Madame
Lamoriciere. The second act of the noble gene-
rosity of a brave soldier is that, as soon as
Cialdini was informed of the death of General
Pomodan, he ordered the body to be embalmed
and enclosed in a leaden coffin, and, after render-
ing to the deceased general all the military
honours due to his rank, sent the Piince
di Ligne, and another adjutant, of the deceased
general, who were both prisoners, to accompany
the body to France, and consign the same to the
Marchioness di Pimodan, wife .of the genera).
Cialdini has also given permission to all the
officers and men who are his prisoners to write to
their friends with sealed letters. The generosity
of these acts speaks for themselves. Our latest,
intelligence is : that all the Papal States, with
the exception of Rome and Civitavecchia, are in
open insurrection ; that the Neapolitan Ministry,
named only a feW days ago by. Garibaldi, have
resigned : their successors have not yet been
named. Conforti, who was the minister, or rather
the commissioner, of police (!), has been charged
to form another ministry. _ Poor Naples, into
what strange hands it is falling. It is also
reported that the Sicilian Ministry, which was
only appointed a week age, has also resigned.
Mordini succeeds an honest man, Depretis ; how
long lie will remain Pro-Dictator it is almost
impossible to say : I will, however, give him ten
or fifteen days.
The military gazette of Turin
announces the number of officers killed and
wounded at the battle of Castelfidardo to be
twenty-one, which is just double the number
reported by the Perseveranza. There is a rumour
that the Marquis Giorgio Pallavicino-Triulzio,
after having had several inter views with Cavour,
starts once more for Naples, in order to confer
with Garibaldi. I am positively informed that
Mazzini and Ledru Rollin are at
Naples. The
latest news of the operationsPiedmontese
is from Rimini, which announces the taking of
the fort of Saint Leo. Another telegram brings
intelligence from Civitacastellana, 25th Sept.
Masi's column has taken the sall ts of that
town and sixty prisoners, and mall m forarched on
to Corneto, this town, or borgo, having been
abandoned -(?) by the French, who have left fir
Civitavecchia. Later news from Naples confirms
the intelligence sent in my last letter, that General
Eber's corps sustained very severe loss at Capua,
and was obliged to discontinue the engagement,
which always means that the Royal troops have still
some fighting in them. It is also stated that the
force collected at Capua and Gaeta is much greater
than is generally believed, there being not less
than 50,000 or 60,000 men still at the disposition
of Francis 11., and under the command of General
Bosco, who, it is said,' is resolved to make a des-
perate resistance. Garibaldi's forces now at
Naples is believed to be about .the' same number,
and before you receive this, will, no doubt, have

stronghold of the King of Naples. The Times
correspondent has made another mistake in stating
that General Schmidt arrived at Turin.under a
heavy escort, and would be tent to the fortress.
General Schmidt, the perugian butcher, came to
Turin accompanied only by two officers of the
Carbineers, and took_ up his • at the

he was accompanied
by the same officers to the frontier, having received
a passport for Switzerland. The correspondent
of the Perseveranza, wr•t* ing.from Spoleto, states
that among the 1,000 Papal
soldiers that occupied
the Castle, there were not less than 700 Irish,
under the command of Major O'Reilly,
