LONDON, FRIDAY, OCT. 12.

Tee more we learn of the battle of the Vol-
turno—and Englishmen will be willing to hear a
good deal more of it yet—the more aatoniahing is
(14 RI DALDI'III great and decided success. We can
now 5,)0 what are the qualities upon which, in the
lest resort, victory depends. It is plain that for
about six hours G•111BALDI'll troops struggled
with an enemy who they well knew had
contrived to gain the advantage. They were
surprised, at some points they were over-
powered, on all they had the greatest difficulty in
making their ground good. Many a time in the
course of that dreadful forenoon the fate of the
day depended on the readiness of a battalion or a
squadron, confiding in the Commander-in-Chief,
sad without hope of its own success, to devote
itself calmly to death, in order to secure
some result essential to the general ulti-
mate triumph. Our own annals record many 1
such examples of a noble self-sacrifice, and
it is with a sympathetic interest that we read
of the same heroism kindled in Italian breasts by
the sacred love of freedom. Gsmasini luring on
his nien to retake the battery at the foot of St.
Angelo with the promise, "We shall die, but
*' Italy will win the day !" is a spectacle exactly
to an Englishman's mind. The Neapolitane fought
like good soldiers, but then they had the coati-
&ace of numbers, and had received the fullest
assurances of success. They had been told that
G LIU BALD' had been defeated, that the Austrians
were at Naples, and that only a rabble remained
to be dispersed in order that they might enter
Naples and renew the carnival of military license.
In G.ir.insuies ranks every man appears to have
fought as if the issue of the conflict depended on
him alone. This it is to contend for a cause.

We may hope that the battle of the Volturno is
the last of these unequal struggles between ire,-
scull:- levies and large and well equipped armies.
The rctory of patriotism, achieved against enor-
mous odds, is edifying ; but it aorta too dear to
be of t.m repeated, when there are leas costly
means of defeating the enemy. We may hope
soon to hear that CIA.LDINCS advance will enable
VIAISIBALDI to resume the offensive under condi•
tion i more like those of ordinary warfare. Letters
from Naples of the Gth inform us that the Kreo's
approach was anxiously expected in that capital ;
and a Ivices from Ancona of the same date inform
us that at the same time the Kixo was receiving
the add:emes of deputations from the people and
annuz.lmlities of the Abruzzi, earnestly soliciting
the Kiss to oorne amongst them and accept the
crown which the Two Sicilia are ready to offer
him. As to the disposition of GARIBALDI,
the hearty loyalty of the brave soldier never could
have been called in question but by ignorance or
crafty malevolence. GARIBALDI has never wavered.
Pooile about him, hostile to VICTOR EXXANCLL,
have abused the kindness of the Dictator to make
their sentiments paas for his ; but very few in-
deed can have been deceived. GARIBALDI'S
quarrel was never with the KIND, but with two or
three of his Ministers ; and even that, though
pen: ;:al as to its objects, was entirely public as to
ita grounds. Like many other men of generous
nature, he allowed himself to indulge too far a
few men who had been long personally attached to
him to the injury of the State ; but this fault is
already repaired. M. MAZZINI has been requested
in the politest manner to make room for Vicrot
XXISIA.SCEL ; and in a few days we shall probably
hear that the people of that country have been
called, as the emancipated people lately subject to
the Ptol'E have already been, to pronounce on their
permanent political destiny.

Arcola, lately the pert of entry for Irish,
Austrian'', Belgians, and other strangers anxious
to lend the POPE • hand to crush his people, and
a centre of the strictest ecclesiastical tyranny, is
now for a time the seat of a Commissioner Extra-
ordinary, administering the Government in the'
name of VICTOR E.II3I•NCEL. The official Goartfe '
of that city brings new proofs of that " detest-
" able and eacri!egious spirit " which the Pore so
veheuiently condemned in his recent Allocution.
Besides • decree banishing the Jesuits from the
ea-papal territory, the rerri, re Belle .iftire& pub-
Ilan • decree which, setting forth that the
equality of citizens before the law is a corol-
airy of the natural equality of man, enacts
that " differences of religion shall not entail
" differences in the enjoyment and exercise of
" civil and political rights, and that an disabilities
" heretofore welching on Israelites and non-
" Catbolica are from honceforward abolished."
The striking events that are daily taking place in
Italy al dazzle us, that decrees like these, each of
tbect electing a moral and social revolution which
in t ohnary times would mark an epoch, pan
alleseat unheeded. Yet how great must the
change now proclaimed be in the land where, only
two years ago, the elder Moaraaa was fruitlessly
rearLey:rig backwards and forwards to recover his
poor at .lee boy, blasphemously taken from him in
the Lame of Cuatar. Surely without superstition
we may see in the present calamities of the Pore
the u.stural and just punishment of the accumu-
lated crunes of his Church against humanity—
crimes of which that child robbery at Bologna was
but a representative form.
