PARIS, TNURADAT EVENING.
The glorious news of the utter defeat of General
de bunoricibre by the Sardinian forces is confirmed
on all sides. That general at once understood the
importance of the stratogetic positions which we
learuod by telegraph yesterday had been taken up
by General Cialdini ; and he resolved to attack his
lines, and force a passage through them for him-
self and his army to Ancona. This plan was, no
doubt, the beet th►t could be devised under the
disastrous circumstances in which the able com-
mander was placed, owing to his having so un-
accountably embraced • bad cause. The details of
the battle, which appears to have been bloody, and
on some points, at least, well contested, will be
highly interesting, but we know little of them at
present. The grand result is that the Papal army
was frightfully cut up by the Piedmontese, and
although Lamoricibre carried out so much of his
plan as to get into Ancona himself, he loft the bulk
of his followers behind him. The telegram says be
was attended by a "few horsemen," and the Pays,
a journal favourable to the Papal canoe, and
having the advantage of receiving semi-ofSeial com-
munications, does nut venture to say more than
that he succeeded, at the head of a "small
column," in passing between two lines of Pied-
montese troops and gaining the city. This journal
adds that General de Lamoriciere's army is now, in
point of fact, " dissolved." It cannot be denied,
however, that the presence of a man of La-
moricire's military qualities in • strongly-fortified
place like Anyone is • subject of anxiety for the
Piedmontese. But the place is now invested
both by sea and land, and if the Austrians do not
interfere, which, according to all tho latest intel-
ligence, there is no probability of their doing, it
must inevitably fall. It is reported, and for the
sake of humanity we must hope the news to be
true, that the Sardinian generals, wishing to spare
the effusion of blood, have determined not to attack
Ancona, but to force the garrison to surrender in
time by a rigorous blockade.

There is every reason to suppose that the defeat
of lAmoriciere will prevent any serious contest at
Capra or Gaeta, and that the Ring of Naples will
now realise the premature news of his tlight.
General Cialdini appears to have displayed the
qualities of ► great commander. The position
which he assumed between Lamoricibre's army and
the garrison of Ancona was an extremely bold one,
and his tactics doubtless took Lainorkiere by
surprise. Numbers appear to have been on the
P►pal aide, for a sortie of 4,000 men from Altoona
attacked Cialdini simultaneously with the march
upon his lines of lamoricilre's army of 11,000 men
from Macerate. The exact force of Cialdini is not
Mated, but it was certainly tinder 15,000 men.
Count de Quatrebarbee, an old legitimist officer,
formerly in the royal guard, has gone to Rome
to offer his sword to the Pope, and it is said
that Lamoriciere has made him governor of
Ancona. lam afraid his occupation will be gone
before he gets so far.

The Emperor and Empress are expected at St.
Cloud on Monday next, on their retarn from
Algiers. They will go almost immediately to
CompAgne for the autumn.

The gowns warn inure active than it has been for
a lag while. Although some people attributed
the rise of yesterday to the false report of Cialdini
having been beaten by Lamericibre—a most eirtra-
ordinary reason truly—the upward movement con-
tinues now that the contrary is known to be the
!math. A great many purchases' were made in the
Rents, which at one time ruse to GBfr. 250. and
left off at that pries for ash, with a rise of 15c.,
but gave way for account to 68fr. 15c., closing
still with a rise of 513. The railways were from
lfr. Mc. to 2fr. 50c. higher. Mobilier left off
without change.

A book appears in the shop windows to-day frith
the title, "The Crimea and Mialeniemoura of Eng-
Luul tuvarila Frame." The author gives hia name
as a M. do Chatelet.

The Oct Dadode Pod states positively, on the
faith of • letter from Trieste, that Prince Nicholas
of Montenegro wrote to the Emperor Napoleon to
notify his socession to the throne, and to aware
him of his devotedness to Franoe, where he bad re-
ceived his education. The Emperor, in reply, pro-
wled the prince • present of 250,000 fr. for the
expenses; of his eetablislunent, on the condition that
