The account of the capture of Pesaro, in the
Adriatic° of Ravenna, gives a fair 'idea of the War
now raging in the Papal States. In the morning of
the 11th news reached Pesaro that General
Cialdini had crossed the Tavullo. Mgr. Bella and
Colonel Zappi held a council of war, in which the
decision was come to that if the place were attacked
it should be defended. At four o'clock in the after-
noon the Sardirlian army arrived, invested the
town, mid summoned it to surrender. On the
refusal of the commander of the place, the Pied-
montese cannonaded the gates of Rimini and
St, Christina, and a few discharges knocked
them down. The Sardinians rushed into the
streets, and the Papal troops, 1,200 in number,
retired into the fortress with the delegate. General
Cialdini then opened fire on the fortress, and con-
tinued it during the whole night. The latter
returned the fire, but without causing any serious
injury to the Sardinian troops, who bivouacked in
the town. At half-pest eight in the morning an
officer, with a flag of truce, demanded that the
fortress might capitulate. He was told that it was
too late, and he returned to the citadel amidst the
hisses of the people. The Piedmontese renewed
their Are, and at nine o'clock the garrison, not
being able to respond, surrendered at discretion.
A Turin letter of the 18th says :
The short .I....pata sent by General Fanti on the taking
of Perugia stiite, that the affair was a sanguinary one, and
that the popul.itiou fought with great ardour, women, and
even cliililron taking part in the combat. The tiiinlinian
army had hut few killed, but General Fanti writes—" Our
Losses, though not numerous, are sensible," and the number
of the Piedinontese wounded was about 100. Among the
killed of the latter army is Captain Melon ; and among the
killed on the Pontifical side Captain de Maistre, of the
family of the odelirated Joseph de Mentz*, author of " Le
Pape." The lees of the Pontifical army was very great, as
when the main body of it retired into the citadel, and closed
the gates, the portions of it which were detached or in
honer were cut to piecos. The general accorded the troops
in the citadel five bourn to capitidate ; and as they had not
done so at the end of that time, IN opened a terrible fire on
the place, and kept It sp until, after the lapse of two hours,
General tichmidt and his troops surrendered.
