F!a.ll.

A !At'. has just come to Ciablinee bead-
=but its spite of his pressing entreaties, the
Ucueral has declined to discontinue the
tremendous boulhanlment which is thuielerieg over
Gaeta. It is distressing to lIINe the poor terrified
✓ibber, running about the bastions like madmen.
Now and then a conflagration or a fresh explosion
ta Les place, alaskingtbehoueto of Mole, and awaking
the echoes of the mountains. Negotiations are
Mil! going on, and from my window I can see the
lent taking back to Gaeta the Neapolitan pi/4e-
in-leeire. It is generally stated here that Cial-
diui requires from the King and garrison an un-
conditional surrenoler, and that the Neapolitan
• cer sent to Lim having no power to treat on this
basis, has gone to Gaeta for 11131 V iustructions.
Four o'cl.ick —A terrible explosion—au explo-
nou which nobody but than who limn! it can Una-
gine—has occurred at Gaeta. The largest powder
=MAIM of the fortress, called the magazine of the
Regnia battery, has blown up, smelling *wee bat-
teries all to pieces, and throwing down the barracks
ne•tr at nand. Even the farther part of the town
bas been greatly injured by the effect of this new
explosion. This will undoubtedly hasten the
eurreuder of the fortress, although Cialdini
lies told the Bourbon parfen,nfaiors that the
conditions he has offered to Francis U. will not be
maile more striugent by this occurrence.
Six o'clock.—emeriseimation rd. An hour ago
fli4nor Casella begged Cialdiui to telegraph to the'
French consul at Naples to send the French
ete.:user La Mimetic to Gaeta, for the King and
family will leave the half-destroyed city to-morrow
at tune o'clock. Senor Bermudez baa also tele-
graphed to the Spanish consul to Rend two Spanish
voasele which are at Civita Vecchia for the accom-
twelation of the diplomatic body. It is, therefore,
all over, and to-morrow morning, at six o'clock,
the Sardinian army will occupy the bastions
of the town, and four hours after take pais-
• mof the city. All the troops which are
in Gaeta will be prisoners of war until
Messina and Civitella del Tronto have also cur-
rendered. Southern Italy will be thus pacified,
and Victor Emmanuel will have the satiafaction of
opening the new Italian parliament with the an-
nouncement of the cessation of the fratricidal war.
God be praised! and may Italy enjoy the blessings
of a long peace, and be restored to her ancient
glory !
