BOLOGNA, Oc-r. 2.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1869.

The 2nd of October will henceforth stand as a
measurable day in the annals of this aneient oity, for.
whatever may be the result of diplomatic diseussiotu
on the Italian guano's, Bologna and the Legations
have sealed the annexation to Piedmont by hoisting
the Piedmonts,* escutcheon upon the public build-
ings of the country. The Monitore di Bologna of
last night had already informed the Bolognese that
this morning a Te Drum was to be sang in the church i
of San Petronio, the largest and, though unfinished,
one of the most interesting and remarkable moat-
meats of at religious manificenee which charm-
tensed the period of Italia. freedom. As early as
five o'clock the people of this city and of the
neighbouring country were posnog into the
Piazza Maggiore, the Forum of Bologna in the mid-
dle ogee, hastening to secure a place in the lemons
edifice built is 1390 by the celebrated architect.
Ante* Viassasi. The higk mass, in whisk Go-
resew Op-kW, General Garibaldi, the ministers
and other public functionaries assisted, was per-
formed by the chaplain of a Tuscan regiment, who,
assisted by four of his colleagues, sung the hymn of
thanksgiving of the Ambroeian ritual. It was a
magnificent sight ; for, as you know, San Petronio is
almost a museum of sculpture, and one of the finest
specimens of the Italian Gothic of the fourteenth
century. Although Cardinal Vial* Peels bad endea-
voured to persuade his flock to keep aloof from the
sacred office, the church was densely crowded, for
the Italians are fond of such magnificent dis-
plays ; and, beside, they felt a sincere desire to
thank God for having delivered them from the
hated yoke of the Roman Court. This sentiment of
gratitude wee visible on every fare, and I am sure
that ar• Deism was never more heartily sung. As
I walked through the large square facing the church
I could bear the conversations that were kept up
amongst the crowd, who to a man were joyfkl in
seeing the arms of the House of Savoy hanging from
the Palazzo Publico and from the Portico dei Banchi.
At nine o'clock the ringing of merry peals brought
in the glad tidings that the solemn office had began,
and a thrill of the most heartfelt pleasure went
through the multitude in the Piazza, whose accla-
mations were loudly echoed in the adjoining streets.

.
The diplomatists of Europe ought to have been pre-
sent at this sacred and solemn ceremony, in order that
they might acquire the conviction that the peaceful
restoration here of Papal government has now be-
come an impossible task. It is not only the hatred
against theocratic government which, in spite of
priestly intrigues and influence, has found its way
through every heart, but it is also a sort of an an.
controllable antipathy to that host of monks and
priests who from reprise to sunset obstruct the streets
of Italian towns and villsge•. Never in my life have
I seen a greater number of these idle fellow., attired
in the friar's frock, begging from house to house, or
doing nothing kpt grow fat in their snug convents,
taitoalhave withered in these provinces. This pain-
t has brought my resolretica beak to the times
of superstition, for since my arrival here I can reckon

more than five different orders of monks and friars
who are discernible by the different shape and colour
of their cumbrous dresses. There is no country so
much burthened and eaten up by this unproductive
and often mischievous clam of being', and there is
nothing that the people of the Romagna are not ready
to do in order to diminish the evil. The solemn

manifestation of this morning is suggestive of such
reflections, and every friend of liberty and civilisa-
tion must, therefore, hope that the temporal power
of the Pope will never be restored in this country.
With the object of hastening, by all the means it
has in its power, the annexation of the Mate to
Piedmont,thegovernment of the Legations has ordered
that henceforth the tribunals of the country shall
administer justice in the name of the King of Sar-
dinia. All public acts will also bear the name of
Victor Emmanuel, the flsgs of the regiments will
bear his coat of arms, and from to-morrow the sen-
tences of the courts of law of Piedmont, Parma,
Lombardy, and Tuscany will be operative through-
out these provinces. If the de facto annexation is
not yet accomplished, it is a fact of paramount
importance to see how the people of Central Italy,
when left to themselves, are anxious to hasten it by
all the means that Providence has put in their
bands.

General Fanti, who yesterday arrived here from
Modena, has appointed Garibaldi second in command
of the army of the League. He has also taken into
his hands the ministry of war, Colonel Pinelli having
resigned office. The resignation of this last-named
officer met with general satisfaction, for the colonel
was not popular in Bologna. General Fanti, who
was one of the most distinguished officers in the
Sardinian army, will give a new and more active im-
pulse to the military preparations here, which were
proceeding rather slowly under his predecessor. As
I told you in one of my last letters, Garibaldi's head-
quarters have been established here, in the Abergati
Palace. The Tuscan contingent he commands at
present numbers 18 strong battalions of infantry,
4 squadrons of cavalry, and 4 field batteries,
I believe of eight pieces each. Although the
Tuscans are, as yet, untried soldiers, still they
are soldiers, end it appesrs certain to me that
under the leadership of Garibaldi they may be made
to behave like veterans. Besides these troops, which
may be fairly numbered at 11,000, Tuscany, I have
been told, has got 12,000 good fighting men in re-
serve, who could join Garibaldi's army in on.. of need.
Although the organisation of the two Romagna
divisions has been greatly interfered with, at this
moment they number 20 strong infantry battalions,
one fine regiment of cavalry newly organised, two
batteries of eight pieces each, besides a squadron of
Guides, which is in course of formation. The whole
of this force—which under the command of the two
generals, Nlezzleapo and Rossetti, is cow scat-
tered from Rimini to Sant' Arcangelo, to
keep a close eye upon his Holiness's little
army—is perhaps more than 13,000 men. With the
new corps which, I believe, have been projected by
General Fanti here, and by Colonel Cadorna, the
newly appointed Minister of War for Tuscany at
Florence, the forces of these state. will be greatly
increased before the year is over. At any rate, I
have been told by an officer of Fanti's staff that by
the end of October the army of the Legations and
Tuscany will muster from 35,000 to 40,000 good
fighting men, ready to join the little army
of the minor Duchies at a moment's notice.
If, therefore, the Pope and the Dukes were
unwise enough to try the fortune of arms
General Fanti could meet them with a strong and
well organised army of hearty and high-spirited
patriots. The monthly expenses of the war ministry

of the Legations are now rather more than
901,426 Roman scudi. I wee puzzled to know
bow this little state could manage to find the money,
and I have been fortunate enough to have in my
hands the official estimate, which will he publialied
by the Marquis Pepoli at the end of October. The
approach of the post hour does not allow me to enter
into the subject now, but I shall revert to it in my
next litter.
