THE SUN.

LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 11, 1860.

Most great battles furnish numerous incidents of
much interest, to garnish, as it were, the great
result ; and we are sure to hear of many in connec-
tiun with the battle of the Volturno. We have
noticed the part taken by the gunners and sailors
of the Renown, " absent on leave"—doubtless with
the leave of officers as willing as the men themselves
to share in the fight for liberty against tyranny.
English sailors, too, do not forget their countrymen
PARKE and WATT when they look at those horrid
Neapolitan prisons, and at every discharge of the
guns they helped to work, it was—" Here goes a
retaliating shot for PARKE and WATT ;" or, "Here's
another for GARIBALDI and liberty ;" or another,
with three cheers, for—" Down with the BOURBONS
and tyranny." It will be noticed to-day, too, in
the correspondence, that English officers were in-
valuable. The Sicilians whom they led appear to
have depended almost entirely on them ; this, of
course, is to be partly accounted for by their being
but raw levies of volunteers, who would natu-
rally form their judgment of what they could do,
by the leading of able officers. Part of a
small force opposed to three times their
number, was, we observed, neutralized, because
their English Colonel DUNN was wounded early in
the day. We read also that one part of his men,
under the command of " brave Colonel WYNDHAM,
stood to their work," while the remainder, under
Sicilian officers, got into confusion. We may rest
assured that, in future years, if France be the neces-
nrY ally of Italy, England will always be the
more beloved ally of all her best men. It will
long live in their memory, that subscriptions, hos-
pital necessaries, volunteers, able officers, men-of-
war's men, all attested the profound interest of this
country in the noble struggle of 1860; and while
Italy is a free kingdom, England will never want a
cordial friend in the Mediterranean. Admiral
MUNDY himself, though fettered, perhaps, too
much by instructions from his Government, shows
in every possibly wav his earty sympathy with
GARIBALDI and the Italian h
cause.
It is, however, pleasing to notice, that all
Frenchmen are not LAMoßlclEßES—mereenaries
for Popery and Tyranny. A PAUL DEFLOTTE has
already died a volunteer martyr to the cause of
Italian liberty. He fell, it may be remembered,
amongst the first who set foot on the shores of
Calabria. But his spirit survives, and fought nobly
at the Battle of the Volturno. His French com-
pany recals an English memory of Waterloo, for
they defended a farm-house during the whole day
with great bravery against all attacks; but
happily their ammunition did not fail, and they
live to enjoy the honours due to their valour, and
to rejoice in its contribution to the common cause.
Some curious disclosures were made by the pri-
soners. It seems all kinds of gross falsehoods
were resorted to to keep the men together, and
to make them believe fighting to be better than
desertion. They were told that no quarter was
given—the sad consequence of which was that they
killed many of the wounded under grossly false im-
pressions. It was " disgusting," the writer of the
letter
says, to see not only men, but officers, falling .
on their
knees mild piteously begging for life when
they were taken. prisoners. To the last, FRANCIS IL
and his agents corui
d attempt to maintain their cause
only by prompting their men to violate the few hu-
manities of civi'dsed warfare. Let soldiers murder
the wounded, ar id provoke to reprisals, if FRANCIS 11.
