THE SUN.
LONDON, THURSDAY, NOV. 8, 1860.

While we write FRANCIS 11., late of Naples, may
be a fugitive. Long he cannot remain at Gaeta.
A body of 15,000 of his troops with 4,000 horses and
32 guns have, in order to escape capture, gone into
the Papal territories, where they had of course to
surrender their arms. These must be the troops
whom we heard of as before Gaeta, who desired to
treat with General FANTI, with whom, we may now
infer, they could not come to terms. The late KING,
for such we ought to designate him after the vote
of his late subjects, must have lost, chiefly by their
being taken prisoners and escaping into neighbour-
ing territory, at least half the army with which
he retreated to Gaeta, and though the remain-
der might be a sufficient garrison for
the fortress, yet they must be utterly
disheartened. Of what use, moreover, could the
best defence be when, if they could repel the attack
of the Sardinian troops, no organised army re-
mained in the field to co-operate with them for re-
gaining the Kingdom. Gaeta and its garrison,
with no external support whatever,, must be a per-
fectly useless possession.

It would seem to us that even with such forces as
he had at his command the generalship of FRANCIS
rather of his commanders, for the KING is
110 soldier, has been as bad as possible. While the
Sardinians were not in the field, he probably did
Wisely in taking
the Volturno for his outer line of
defence.
Facts proved that it was as much as
Ga
could do to force it; and, if
resolutely
defended, it may - be ques-
tioned whether,
without some aid from the
Piedniontese,
would not have been detained

EMMANUEL to proceed southward became manifest,

11cfat to have concentrated his
whele strength on 1.,:
nearest defences to Gaeta.
He ought to have made it
tbastopel, or a Torres
Vedras rather, for he had
grand ativantago,
while a ducat remained to him, of
an open sea for
„ a
supplies. The sympathy of brother despots secured
him this. And, with an army almost as large as
that opposed to him, perhaps quite as%
large, behind
strong fortifications, and with ample supplies, he
might have defied his:enemies for a long time.. e
In-
stead of this, he seems to have allowed three bodies
of troops to be separately defeated and dispersed, or
rendered useless. One at Capua, the other those
who were defeated between Sessa and Teano, and
lastly those who have just surrendered their arms
to the POPE and the French; these last being pro-
bably, in part at least, the remains of those the
greater part of whom were taken prisoners at
Teano. The last of the Sicilian I3ourbons appears to
have been badly .served by his officers, for the men
do not Seem to h:ave wanted courage. Both in the
general plan of their defence, and in individual
conflicts, they appear to have shown no strategic
skill whatever.
And now that the business has come to such close
quarters, what will be the orders of the French 1
Admiral? Thus far the Italians, under Admiral 1
PERSANO, have vanquished the French as they did I
