THE SUN.
. LONDON, MONDAY, OCT. 29, MO.

Another defeat of the King of GAETA'S troops,
fresh assurances from Austria that she does not
intend anything beyond self-defence in Italy, and
the breaking up of the Warsaw meeting without
making any proclamation to Europe, are the chief
new facts which throw light on the position
of things in Southern Europe. To these we may
add the almost unanimous vote at Naples in favour
of annexation ; the numbers being, according to
the telegram, 185,468 against 1,609. About one-
fifth of those entitled to vote did not do so ; of
course a large number never can vote at any elec-
tion. An almost unanimous vote, therefore, of
more than four-fifths of the electors will be a most
appropriate preliminary to the entrance of the
KING, which was to have taken place yesterday.
Of the victory we hare, as yet, the briefest
account. It shows, however, that the KING can
offer no effective resistance to the Piedmontese,
and that the limits of his dominion will soon be the
fortress of Gaeta, and very soon, we hope, the cabin
assigned him by the commander of a Spanish
frigate. In the interests of humanity it must be
wished by all that the useless fight should not be
Prolonged. It may be a little more to his credit to
quit his former kingdom fighting for it against
superior force, but we do not prize the credit of a
Bunt
laoN so highly as to think it worth the lives
of those who must die to maintain it. Sessa and
Teano, between which two places the battle was
fought, are but
six or seven miles apart, and the
former Beam the direct road from Capua to Gaeta,
about sixteen miles from the former and
somewhat more from the latter. Unless,
garrison of
therefore, the Capua, and all
the defenders of the line of the Volturno had left
it before the battle, they must now be between
GARIBALDI'S lines and thePledmontese, and would
seem to have no alternative but surrender. Brief
as the telegram is, we notice the ame
circumstance
as marked the battle of Isernia—the taking of many
prisoners, apparently indicating a want of zeal,
or at least of desperate valour on the
part of the
Royal troops. The result is that the KT
.NO s
forces have retired upon the Garigliano, Nellie},
encloses a small district indeed around Gaeta, and
will hardly delay the march of the Piedmontese
and Garibaldians on the fortress.
We shall be glad to see the last act of this
the sicrnin e and sealing of

flight of the

1 it can never be

interfered with again, net even by the
Ruler whose selfish purposes we most
(food
of all suspect, and who, for De, n
assuredly, joined in refusing to acknowledge
the blockade of Gaeta, while he keeps Rome and
the district around it in his own hands. The sus-
Pie3ons of Europe in regard to Sardinia and Genoa
are certainly not without good reason, and the more
rapid and complete the success of the King of
PIEDAtoNT the more difficult will it be for him to
fly in the face of Europe and appropriate what this
time he will have no excuse for asking. He has
done no more in this latter struggle than e e have
done—he has only let things alone. Indeed, Italy
