from different sotirces during the progress of the
events which are there recorded. The report,
which is dated No•v. 3, is divided into four parts.
The first explains the position of the Roman
States at the end of August and beginning of
September, the number and position of the Pon-
tifical troops, the invasion of the Piedmontese
bands, and the summons sent by General Fanti
to the Roman Go vernment to send away the
foreigners whom it had engaged :
" From the st atements made, it appears
the numerical st ,rength of the forces under
General Lamorid ere's command, amounted to
only 8,000 infantry, 500 artillery, and 300
cavalry. The ambulances of this army was com-
posed of only corm non carts; and anything in the
shape of a waggon -train was absolutely wanting.
The General speal of the defective manner in
which the men w 'ere armed, only one battalion
having Minie rill es, two others the common
rifle, and the rein; limier common muskets. The
artillery was equa .11y defective, and the drivers
completely inexpe: rienced. Nothing in the shape
of a reserve of artillery had been provided. The
General alludes to • the formation of insurgent bands
on the frontiers .of Tuscany and Romagna, and
to the information'. which he had received of
the intention of the Piedmontese troops to follow
these bands into the Papal States. He also states
that, in reply to a letter addressed to Cardinal
Antonelli on the: subject, he had been informed
that Piedmont -vcould oppose the invasion of the
Papal territory b y those bands, and that he (the
General) would not be attacked by the Piedmon-
tese troops."

The second pert contains a detail of the arrange-
ments made to na.eet the exigencies of the situation :
the movement of the Papal troops ; the capture by
the Piedmontese .of the citadels of Pesaro, Peru-
gia, and Spoletto, and of the town of Orvieto ;
the arrival of the Papal troops at Loretto, and
the removal of the treasury to Ancona. The
third part is fille d with details of the arrival
of the brigade of General de Pimodan at Loretto ;
of the positions occupied by the enemy; of the
combat of Castelfi d.ardo ; the march on Ancona and
the first operations of the Sardinian fleet against
that place. The f onrth mentions the arrival of the
General at Ancona ; the state of that town and of
the garrison; thew ogress of the bombardment; the
investing of the place by the Piedmontese troops;
the attack of the 'fleet, and the surrender of the
town. General dre Lamoriciere, throughout his
report, dwells strongly on the fact that he
felt himself perifectly secure on the side of the
Marches and of Umbria, and that he only cal-
culated that he should have to contend with
the forces of General Garibaldi. He also alludes
to the incident, n ow completely cleared up, of the
despatch of the )uke de Gramont, in which Mgr.
de Merode erroneously announced to the General
that the French Government would oppose by force
the entrance of tl to Sardinian troops into the Papal
States, nothing of' the kind having been ever said.
The long documen t concludes in these terms :
I conclude this report, which is already much
too long, by giwit 1g a word in reply to the re-
proaches which have been addressed to me for
having published, at the beginning of the war,
some documents -which seemed to me to promise
the support of Fr anee. I feel no difficulty in ad-
mitting that at f irst I believed in that support,
and, consequently, it was very natural for me to
make use of thokm documents for the purpose of
maintaining the MI nul courage of the troops whom
I commanded. 13. at people would deceive them-
selves greatly if they were to seek the explana-
tion of the plan of the campaign which I adopted
in the hope of a co-operation which seemed to be
promised. I'was placed in presence of a question
of duty and honour, and if I had taken into ac-
count, in my resolutions, the greatness of the peril
which might await us, my former companions in
arms of the French:army would have disowned me."
