LONDON, THURSDAY; NO V. 8.

Tun King of Nana has just sustained a loss
which deprives him of half the army that re-
mained to him after the great defeat of Saturday
last. It was known that • body of his troops
were outside Gaeta on the north when the
Italian army approached the fortress; and a tele-
gram had informed us that General Fairri was
endeavouring to make them prisoners. The
Information we give in another column probably
relates to this corps, which in that case, however,
must have been much stronger than we had been
led to suppose. Cut off from Gaeta, and hard
pressed by the Italians, the Bourbon troops, to
the number of 15,000 men, with 4,000
horses, and 32 guns, rather than surrender,
took refuge in the territory of the Pore,
which they entered by Terracing. They
appear to have advanced unmolested as far
as Cisterns, which is about eight miles from
Volletri, and five-and-twenty miles from the point
at which they crossed the frontier. But here
they were brought to a stand by the Papal and
French authorities, who, according to usage, were
about to disarm them. A week ago the strength of
the Bourbon army was variously estimated at from
40,000 to 50,000 men, the latter being regarded as
an extreme statement. We cannot reasonably set
down its losses by the fall of Capua and the battle
of the 3rd at less than 16,000. Thus, in less
than a week FRANCIS 11. has lost 30,000 men, a
loss which is even numerically greater than he sus-
tained in any week during the operations which
drove him from Naples. We are, of course, aware
that theoretically Feasers 11. may consider these
men as still available for the defence of Gaeta,
since in the absence of • blockade it would be
possible to embark them and carry them round to
that fortress. But practically this consideration
is of small account The ex-King's advisers must
by this time be asking, 'in; home I If FRANCIS 11.
has any ready money, he will doubtless know
better than to fritter it away in the hire of trans-
ports to move troops that can do him no real ser-
vice. The end must now be at hand.

A rustic man in a land of energetic political
freedom must be a poor boneless official phantom
if he has not a following of haters as well as of
admirers. To be well hated belongs by right of
superiority to force of character, and to the fear-
less exercise of intellect or will. It belongs even
more to that moral quality which is sometimes
called conscientiousness, and sometimes crotchetti-
now in the language of party criticism. Among
the Tories Mr. GLA LATONI has succeeded to the
rich heritage of hate which Pm bequeathed to
his select disciples. Among the Anythingarisns,
who for want of a flag or a cause, • principle
or a policy to steer by, subscribe themselves,
Liberal-Conservatives, Mr. Ot.sneroxe is regarded'
with nervous apprehension, not on account of Ids
conservative principles, but of his liberal feelings
and convictions. In Manchester he is looked at
as a surprising Oxford phenomenon; and in Oxford,
for aught we know, as a north-country Radical,
who talks Romer to disguise his thoughts.
What the preachers of the gospel of enlightened
selfishness think of a man who to Lancashire
vigour unites Attic subtlety and skill, and to
Oxford sympathies and culture the pluck and
pace of Liverpool and Birmingham, let files of
virulent abuse of the author and expounder of
the Commercial Treaty bear witness. The CRAW.
tattoo of the Excrixi4ura is a brilliant speaker—
write him down a sophist ; be has the course's
to prefer the public interests to private—
call
him vain, reckless, and unsafe ; be
has the heart to feel for suffering nations—de-
ride him as a sentimentalist ; he has the pre-
dense to ask where the money is to come from for
a I hinese war every other year, or the honesty
to insist on the nations paying for its fancies or
follies out of income—declaim against such on•
English, unnational doctrines, and stigmatise this
Minister with • conscience as a " convert to the
" Manchester School." Something of all this
abuse is sure to stick, and it will be singular in-
deed if Mr. Cu, tiros is not set down as a
fanatical apostle of peace at any price, an aboli-
tionist of armies and navies, an advocate of
national humiliation and surrender.

To all who may have accepted these hand-
some interpretations of the CHANCELLOIL of the
Exo•ttrvcga'a absence on the evening when Lord
Psi.usairros was setting forth how twelve millions
might be advantageously spent on coast defences,
Mr. (31.sierrovx', speech on Monday last, at
the )Inaic-hall, Cheater, will be matter of
amazement. To be sure, nothing can be easier
for the habitual detractors of the right honourable
gentleman than to expose the "inconsistency " of
a Minister who in the House of Commons is elo-
quent on the peaceful tendencies of an
expanding commerce, and at Chester is
e.inally eloquent on national self-defence,
and the moral effect abroad of the Volunteer

movement in England. The "inconsistency" is no
doubt scarcely less flagrant than the inconsistency
which may always be detected between two de-
spatches written at different times, on different
sub sets, and addressed to entirely different
circumstances. However this may be, we snake
bold to say thit the author of the Com-
mercial Treaty with France has seldom been
