LAMORICIERE must soon now be brought to bay.
He had ventured oat, it seems, as far as Macerata,
to meet one portion of the Sardinian army, but has
had to retreat in hot haste, we suppose to Ancona,
" closely pursued by Gen. PIMODAN'S corps." One
of his generals, having a name, we confess, quite
new to us—KANGLER—has also had to " return
to Ancona, after a hot fight with the Sardinian
troops." All the towns in Umbria, Urbino, and
the march of Ancona, are surrendering to the Sar-
dinian Generals, almost as quickly as they are'
visited by them. The garrisons are, we believe,
all, or nearly all, merely foreign mercenaries; who,
as there is no hope of plunder and pillage, except
at the hazard of the gallows if they are cap-
tured, have no inducement to resist the stronger
forces of the Sardinians. The inhabitants of
of the towns are all, of course, bitterly hostile to
their garrisons, so that the generals have merely to
expel or capture the latter, and the towns are
completely gained, and but too happy to aid their
deliverers. LAMORICIERE is thus driven more and
more into a corner, and that oorner, though strong,
is not a Torres Vedras. Its citadel and the fortified
hills connected with it, though not to be taken
without serious loss, if the resistance be deter-
mined, will accommodate but a small garrison, and
we presume could not long hold out against a well-
plinned combined attack both by sea and by land.
An army of forty- thousand men, and a pretty
strong fleet under Admiral PERSANO, would surely
soon give a good account of the place.

It will be matter of regret should LAIIWRICIERE
resist to the last. It must be so much bloodshed
in vain. He cannot hope, with GARIBALDI com-
ing up from the south, and the Piedmontese
masters of all the northern and -western parts of
the Roman States, to gain a final triumph : at
most he could only obtain favourable terms by capi-
tulation, and he could probably obtain those now.
FANTI and CIALDINI would .doubtless be willing
enough to let him ship off his foreigners to the
lands from whence they came, and to furnish
p
them with a fortnight's provision too for their
journey. The old Algerine General, however,
will probably think it a point of honour to fight it
out. He has not been used to concern for human
life in fighting amongst Arabs, and will enjoy
a useless slaughter for the slaughter's sake.
Perhaps, however, the mercenaries under his
immediate command, like those in the garrisons,
will think better of it. Cutthroats as they pro-
bably are, they do not like being killed themselves.
They would run any risk if the result might be
the sack of a to:erably rich town, with the gener-
ally accompanying treatment of helpless women ;
but to run the risk of being shot for glory is not in
the bond—at least as they read it. Spoleto, where
LAMORICIEBE lay till lately conveniently sick with
the gout, has set them a very sensible example.
It was said that the General was to hold out along
time there ; but it seems, by a telegram we have
just received, that the garrison of 600 men were
Irish-men. And with the admirable logic of oui
keen-witted friends, they did not think the
eb"ega of serving the Holy Father worth
°lla drop of Irish blood. They were
quite right, It was no want of courage to
refuse to fight for such a cause. We like them a
great deal better as the King of SARDINIA'S pri-
soners of war than as the POPE'S mercenaries ; and
we could only wish, if enlist abroad they must, that
they would efface the stain of Irishmen enlisting
against Italian liberties, by enlisting at once in the
service of Italian freedom.
A foreign contemporary seems to think there is
yet some chance for the King of
NAPLESand
the POPE together. None at all. The former is
said to have 30,000 men at Capua and Gaeta, and
he talked of joining LA MORICIERE with them!
The latter seems indeed to need his help; but
how are the KING'S troops ever to get near him,
with the Piedmontese hemming him in on all sides,
and quite strong enough to give battle to both at
Once. Then, again, what are the 30,000
worth ? Can he rely on them ? If 120,000
have shrunk to a fourth of that number,
who can guarantee the loyalty of that
fourth, especially to a runaway King, and
one who has but smali, chance indeed of ever
