despatch is very laconic. It, merely says :
" The enemy has been defeated by me before
Isernia, with the lose of 800 pr!soners, 50 officers,
among them Gen. Seotti. several cannon and colours.
Every moment peasants armed by the Reaction
are brought in whO have committed horrors: I
have them shot."
Yesterday another equally successful engage-

ment took place near Venafro, and this morning
King Victor Emmanuel has. made his entry into
Isernia.

These events took place sooner than was ex-
pected. But evidently the Piedmontese were
anxious to come up, and have made forced marches
from Popoli and Sulmona. According to the ac-
count of people come from Campobasso this morn-
ing, the fi3ht before Isernia lasted three hours,
and would have had even more complete results,
hod not the exhaustion by marching of the troops
prevented Cialdini from following up his success.
Of the seeond'encounter we know not the exact
spot, where it, tockgpliee, but accorang to all pro-
bability it must have been on the banks of the Vol-
turno, which has to be crossed on the road from
Isernia to Venafro.

Venafro once passed, Cialdini is in the rear of all

the lines of communication between Gaeta and
Capua. He may either turn to the right towards
San Germano, and pass the Garigliano by Ponte-
corvo (a part of the Papal territory), or else come
down in one march of 20 miles on Calvi, which is the
centre of all lines of communication on the western
part of the Apennines, and just on the northern out-
skirts of the plain of the Volturno. He will pro-
bably choose this latter road, which will bring him
nearer to the forces south of the Volturno, but
which ever he chooses he will probably have to
meet once more the Neapolitan army, unless these
latter resolve to withdraw at once to 'heir second line
of defence, the Garigliano, leaving a small garrison
to hold out at Capua. From what we hear we ought
to conclude that they will attempt some resistance
before they withdraw, for there are still from 3,000
to 4,000 men in Cajazzo, who would be cut off were
the army already withdrawn behind the Garigliano.
Capua itself has been almost denuded of troops ; so
has, with the exception of Cajazzo, the rest of the
line of the Upper Volturno. In consequence of all
this, proceedings at the front are almost eventless.
Only when one of our patrols, encouraged by the
inactivity on the side of Capua, pushes forward
under the very walls of the fortress, do there come
signs which show that Capua and its neighbour-
hood are not deserted. Nevertheless, yesterday being
the first day of voting for the annexation, precau-
tions were taken in case there should be on the
part of the enemy an intention of disturbing the
process which is legally to deprive King Francis
of his kingdom and make Italian unity almost a
reality.
As I told you long ago, as soon as the Pied-
montese crossed the frontier Garibaldi considered
his military task ended, and yon will find that from
that time no offensive movement was made on our
side. On the 18th, nevertheless, the Medici Divi-
sion was sent forward towards La Valle, in front
of Maddaloni, and this looked as if this division
was sent to unite with the Sonnaz Brigade, which
was expected in that direction, and then make a
joint operation against the Volturno, near or above
Cajazzo. The intentions in this respect have been
changed, and the Medici Division returned the next
day and took up its quarters at Caserta. It received
next (lily orders to return to St. Angelo and re-

lieve the Piedmontese troops, who were all to unite
at Maddaloni for a forward movement. According
to this, Garibaldi's whole force is to remain on the
south side of the Volturno, and the offensive move-
ments to be exclusively made by Piedmontese
troops. This is a kind of compliment on the
part of Garibaldi, and not, as some might think,
another slap in the face of the Dictator ; for
it is but fair to say that the commanders of
the Piedmontese troops have paid their respects
to Garibaldi, informing him that their orders
were to place themselves unconditionally under
the orders of the Dictator, to be employed as he

thinks most fit.
Nevertheless, I do not believe that Garibaldi has
any intention of making any operation whatever,
his presence being required with the King, who is
approaching. Much will depend upon their first
interview. There is no doubt that evil councillors
have shaken the confidence of Victor E mmanuel in

the purity of Garibaldi's designs, but subsequent
events must have made him see the error into which
he was led, and he must be anxious to heal the
wounds which his distrust has inflicted on the
frank but extremely sensitive nature of Garibaldi.
For the last few days he has beep., as it were,
making his Dictatorial testament—making those
last dispositions which he thinks necessary, partly
to recompense those who have suffered or distin-
guished themselves during the war, and to have
those who have lost limbs or property by the war
provided for.
As you will remember, the original few hundred

Cacciatori who remained after Calatafimi and Pa-
lermo became the nucleus of the first two Brigades,

Bixio and Eber. These Cacciatori represented, as it
were, the creme de la creme of the Volunteers, the
majority of them being educated youths—students,
engineers, lawyers, proprietors, &c., who, carried
away by the greatness of the enterprise and its
dangers, followed Garibaldi, regardless of all con-
sideration. It is matter of history how this small
band behaved, and, not unnaturally, very few of
then were inclined to separate, even for promotion's
sake, from their old companions, with whom they
had trod the same path of honour. They were like
so many groups, which in their turn were held toge-

ther by emulation.
Thus all the students of Pavia were in one, those
of Bergamo in another battalion, those of Genoa
and Milan again in others. This clubbing together
was greatly favourable to the development of an
esprit de corps such as perhaps no other corps pos.
sesses in the South Italian army, but it was by no
means favourable to the promotion of these devoted
youths. In spite of all the care taken to reward
those who had most merited it, there were not
officers' charges enough in these two brigades to
recompense all those who would have deserved it.
Numbers of youths who have behaved splendidly
every time they were called upon, and who besides
by their education were quite as capable of being
officers as the boys who came out of the military
colleges of Ivrea and Novara, are still privates and
non-commissioned officers. It would have been the
' greatest ingratitude to leave them so, and Garibaldi
has now raised all those who deserved it to the
rank of officers. Whether the Piedmontese. War
Department will recognise these as well as the
other promotions and nominations of Garibaldi is a
matter still to be discussed, for the union of South
to North Italy has been so unconditional that not'
even this point was insisted upon by Garibaldi.
Another last disposition of Garibaldi is that the
families of all those fallen in battle, and those who
have suffered imprisonment or exile under the late
Government, should receive pensions from the State.
Further dispositions are to be made by the
Ministry of the interior, that all those who have
suffered by the inevitable consequences of war in
their property may be indemnified in proportion to
the damage they have sustained.
To recompense soldiers of merit the national
domains are to be employed, and the property exist-

ing in mortmain.
The British volunteers have had their baptism of
