THE SUN.
LONDON, MONDAY, OCT. 1, 1860

Ancona is fallen. The temporal power of the
POPE is no more. One city and two little towns,
with a population less than that of an English
county, is all that remains to his Holiness of his
misgoverned dominions, and of that little he is but
steward for the French—kept in office there to
serve their purposes.

With Ancona it has fared much as we antici-
pated. LAMORICIERZ would fight, hopeless as was
ultimate success. Some sacrifices of blood must be
offered to his honour as a soldier ; but that having
been done, he seems to have had humanity enough
left to prefer an honourable surrender to a bloody
resistance to the last. It may be that his men re-
quired him to prefer it, being, like the Irish at
Spoleto, bravely discreet ; of that we shall soon
know more. At present, all we know from the
telegrams is, that the skill of the Sardinian fleet
contributed largely to the speedy success by a clever
destruction of the batteries of the port, and that,
in consequence, General LAMORICIERE immediately
asked terms, and eventually became, with his whole
garrison, prisoners of war. The Sardinians will now
have a little more of the work to which they have
been accustomed of late—that of acting a friendly
part towards other powers by sending back their
captured subjects. Austria had a handsome pre-
sent of this kind lately ; we presume she will have
another. Dr. CULLEN and the Lion of ST. JAR-
LATH have had their present of the redoubtable
600. Bavaria, and, we believe, Switzerland, have
had their share ; VICTOR EMMANUEL ought, them
fore, to stand high in favour with his neighbours for
his generosity towards these wandering flocks.

And now what will be done at Rome, and in the
south, is the question of the hour. The end cannot
surely be far off. Notwithstanding the unlucky
imprudence of one of GARIBSLDI'S subordinates in
exceeding his orders and turning a demonstration
intended to divert
.into a reckless attack, it is yet
impossible, we think, that the KING can, hold out
long. He has nothing but his doubtful and not
large army ; and we may be quite certain that the
misfortune before Capua will but be a lesson to the

raw soldiers of GARIBALDI to obey orders more ex- I
plicitly, and rouse the General and all his un-
daunted men to take ample satisfaction. The sur-
render of Ancona, too, will show the King of Gaeta
and Capua how isolated he is, and how impossible
is must be for him to make head long against the
revolution in his kingdom. The fleet which did
such good service at Ancona may also come back
and do equally good service at Gaeta and Messina.
Then what does France mean to do at Rome ?
The EMPEROR'S programme is all but accomplished
now. The POPE has not formally abdicated his
• temporal power, but we were going to say it has
abdicated him. The port of Rome, and one small
town or two, are all that have been kept for
him by " .
the word, and keepers, and they have but to speak
all these would renounce secular
subjection
-What the EMPEROR will do we
believe even he himuelf does not know yet. He
will certainly, and at
anye cost, keep up the
•ap-
pearance of loyalty to t
the last. He will act as if head
utterly dof Catholicism to
