THE ROMAN QUESTION.

A letter from Rome, dated the 23rd inst., says :

The Pope continues remarkably well, and may
often be seen on his afternoon drive. On Monday
he gave audience to Baron Pycke, the new Bel-
gian Minister, who afterwards, according to cus-
tom, visited Cardinal Antonelli. Earlier in the
day, being the dedication of St. Peter's, the Holy
Father heard Mass in St. Peter's, and was present
at the exposition of the greater relics which takes
place on that day, attended by the Palatine Cardi-
nals, that is, those who, by their office, are entitled
to residence in one of the Pontifical palaces.
On Tuesday he visited the Hospital of the Fate-
bene fratelli, in the Isola San Bartolomeo, where
there are about thirty convalescent soldiers, among
them Mr. Laroque, a Canadian, wounded in the face
at Mentana.

On Thursday I met him walking down the Corso ;
he got into his carriage opposite San Marcello.
Among the loyal cries that greeted him I heard
" Evviva Pio IX. chi ha battuto l'ltalia !"
The Osservatore Romano and the Giornale di Rona
go on publishing every day a list of voluntary sub-
scriptions collected at the office of the paper, from
the townspeople of Rome, for the three objects of
—(1), the general support of the Papal army ; (2),
the special care of the wounded; and (3) restitu-
tion for damage suffered by the people of Mentana
and Monte Rotondo. It is a good sign that the
Romans not only give to this object, but fearlessly
send their names with their offerings.
The dinner to the returned prisoners of the
Papal army, announced in my last, went off very
successfully on Sunday. It was served at twelve
o'clock in the grand sala of the Palazzo Barberini,
one of the finest rooms in Europe, and which the
Emperor Joseph 11. once drove round with three
carriages-and-six. the vast height of the receding
ceiling, painted by Pietro da Cortona, with subjects
recording the glories of the noble family to whom
the Palazzo belongs, gives it an air of peculiar
magnificence. It was festively decorated for this
occasion with wreaths and festoons of drapery. A
bust of the Pope occupied the centre of one side
wall, and opposite was the following inscription,
showing the objects of the banquet :—" To the
valiant defenders of Monte Rotondo on the days
of the 25th and 26th of October; strong in their
military bearing, stronger still •by their noble
constancy in suffering all the horrors of an impri-
sonment glorious in its attendant circumstances—
the volunteers and citizens of Rome unite their
testimonies of esteem and gratitude." In the
centre of the hall was a round table on which
was reared a stately trophy of palm-branches and
weapons of war. Round this sat the sixteen
officers of the lately-captive band, and with them
MaTchese Patrizzi and two other members of the
Committee of Romans who have taken on them-
selves the care of looking after all the wants of
the troops. Long tables were ranged all around
the room for the men, a little over 300 in num-
bers, leaving ample space for the easy circulation
of the number of Romans and foreigners, patri-
cian and plebeian, who flocked in to wait on the
guests, and by their presence attest their gratitude
to their brave defenders.

The repast, which, be it remarked by the way
was simply called a dejeuner a la fourchette, was
really a diner complet, accompanied by abundance of
champagne and other wines. The fine band of
the Gendarmi played various airs at intervals.
Towards the close of the meal General Kanzler
pro•ministro delle armi, and Colonel d'Argy, Com-
mandant of the Roman Legion, came in, and were
received with right soldierly cheers. Marchese
Patrizzi made a short speech in eulogy of the
bravery of the troops, to which Captain Costa, of
the Roman Legion, who commanded the garrison
at Moute Rotondo, responded, expressing in a few
well turned phrases his gratitude for the solemn
testimony of esteem rendered to the troops under
his command, concluding with these words—" It is
but little we have done, but we promise you another
time our arms will be found yet stronger in the
defence of the Holy Father and his sacred rights ;"
and he proposed the health of the Papa Re, and of
the Roman people present, which was honoured
with the most enthusiastic acclamations. General
Kanzler also said a few earnest words. " When
Rome was harassed by the menace of an army of
assassins (sicarii) surrounding her very walls, all
the valour of her little garrison would not have
sufficed to distance their hordes but for the fidelity
and loyal beaming of her people, and without the
co-operation of the elect band of distinguished
citizens who so readily took up arms in defence of
the Holy See. Allow me, therefore, to propose
a toast (brindisi) to the health of the people of
Rome, and especially of those generous ones who so
worthily represented them throughout the late
critical circumstances."

When the party broke up and dispersed along
the Piazza Barberini, hundreds crowded round to
press the hands of their brave defenders.
The same evening there was another festive
gathering among the military. The French officers
returned the entertainment given them on their
arrival here by the Pontificals by inviting them
in turn to meet in the Casino of their Head
Quarters in the Piazza Colonna. The reunion was
very brilliant and cordial. Two military bands,
stationed on elevated loggie on either side of the
Piazza, played concerted pieces alternately during
the evening. At the close of the evening General
de Failly proposed a toast to PiuslX. and the Ponti-
fical army, which was responded to by General
Kanzler, who proposed in turn that of Napoleon
111. and the French army.
Two more evidences of the complicity of the
Italian Government in the late invasion have just
come under my notice. A Roman gentleman I
know was staying some few weeks ago at Calvi,
where he has property. It is a place belonging
to the Roman State, but situated a few miles
within the new Italian frontier. He tells me that
when the Garibaldini came through there they
were billeted regularly like soldiers at the rate of
five on each family ; on himself, of course, like the
rest.

The other was at Monte Rotondo a day or two
ago, and is equally worth mention. The thousands
of muskets left behind in their flight by the Gari-
baldians were being tied up in bundles. A French
soldier on duty pointed out to me that these were
old French guns which the Italian Government
had purchased .of the French at the close of the
Crimean War ! In leaving these masses of arms
the invaders have left a sting behind, for many of
them would appear to be still loaded and under the
careless handling of the men who were binding
them up. One went off and shot a poor fellow in
the crowd dead on the spot, wounding another. I
had certainly heard them myself repeatedly warned
by the soldiers on guard not to stand in the way
of possible casualties.

The Garibaldians have left no good impression
on the people of the place. "Oh ! what agonies of
fear we have gone through !" said a lovely, dark-
haired woman to me, who with her blue-eyed
boy in her arms, his little chubby head covered
with golden curls, might have sat as a pose to
Itaffael for a Madonna. "All this was a fortnight
ago, and yet I have scarcely had courage to eat a
morsel since." " Well," I said, " it's all right now ;
you've got a garrison and you are all safe."
Ah !" she replied, " the Eccellenza doesn't know
what such terror is—what it is to have your
house suddenly taken possession of by a parcel
of armed men, and then time after time, all day
long, to have a pistol at your head while they storm
at you—' give us something to eat !' And what are
you to do when you have nothing, and they won't
listen to a word, and only shout you must bring
them something to eat ? One does not get over
such fears in a lifetime."

At the Osteria mine host led me through his
empty rooms. " There ! that's what the Garibaldini
have done for me. All my beds gone ; all dragged
out of the house, sent up to Rome with their
wounded, or Heaven knows where, and I and my
household have to sleep on this litter of straw."
The vine-growers probably are the greatest
sufferers of all. The autumn's wine is their for-
tune—their means of subsistence for the rest of
the year. The red wine of Monte Rotondo has a
great reputation round Rome, and fetches a good

price. Now while the wine-presses outside every
other house are yet moist with its manufacture,
there is not a drop to be found in the whole place,
nor a single Monte Rotondo grape to be had for
love or money.

It is curious they did not try to conciliate the
people and act a little more in accordance with
their character of pretended " liberators." Some
poor fellows, whose cattle they seized in the field
by a heartless device, they pretended to pay with
bills payable by the Garibaldian Government, to
be established in Rome within a month's date !

On the other hand the ready kindness of the
Roman committee for the wounded, without distinc-
tion between friend and foe, has had the best effect
on the Garibaldians. In the dark of the night, and
with the position of victor or vanquished to a cer-
tain extent undecided, an ambulance was promptly
improvised in a wayside chapel, used for Mass for
the shepherds, and some adjacent buildings. A
quantity of clean straw and soft canna leaves
were quickly spread within and around them, and
all appliances had been brought out ready from
Rome.

Among the Garibaldian wounded prisoners
here were two Englishmen. One is already off
the sick list ; the other was thought at first
to be the notorious " man-slayer " who follows
Garibaldi everywhere ; but it has since been ascer-
tained his name is Scholey. He expresses him-
self (only equally with the rest, but the testimony
of our own countrymen is always the most
interesting), very well pleased with the care he
receives. He was particularly struck with the rapid
and masterly way in which the amputation of his
hand was effected by the Italian operator, the
whole work occupying but a minute and a half. His
own fortitude on the terribly trying occasion was
certainly no less noteworthy. He kept his eyes
fixed on the surgeon's knife the whole time with
perfect sang froid, and afterwards taking up
the severed member he said to the infirmarian
—" Well, I've had enough of it ; it has made me
suffer pretty well. I'll make you a present of it
now 1"

I am told 1,500 recruits have applied to be ad-
mitted into the Zouaves within the last few weeks.
One certainly sees great numbers of them not yet
in uniform, but dressed more or less in the na-
tional costume of their various countries, visiting
the holy places under the guidance of one or more
of the corps. In consequence of this increase of
numbers, it is on the taxis to create a third battalion
of Zouaves. Two Englishmen have been raised
this week to the grade of corporal. One is Mr.
Woodward, a young English gentlemen, who,
with so many other generous minded youths, were
not ashamed to place themselves in the ranks of
so noble an army. The other, a young private
named Shea, who has won golden opinions from
all who have ohserved him, for his cool, steady
courage, his accurate eyo in aiming, and his fine
soldierly qualities. In the Trastevere affair he was
seen, I am told, by another Zouave who was pre-
sent, to pick off five to his own share ; and his
only complaint is, that though he has been in the
thick of every encounter, he has never been able
to get a scratch whereby to shed his blood for the
Pope.
The following appropriate epitaph has been
written for young Watts Russell, whom I mentioned
in my last :

It is by Padre Cardella, who has also drawn up
a little account of his life and virtues, from which I
extract a few lines.

"A shake by the hand, and a Pater and Ave
whispered together, such was the leave-taking
between him and his brother, detained in Rome
by illness, which had come upon him in the ser-
vice of the corps. With no more secular greet-
ing than this, they parted on the morning of the
memorable 3rd of November, Julian having his
knapsack already on his shoulders, ready to fall
into line. It was the first time they had ever been
separated, and within twenty-four hours the lot
had fallen to the generous boy, to which he had
offered himself up—to give his life-blood pro sede
Petri. The day before, according to 'his wont, he
had fortified his soul with the holy sacraments.
He fought like hero ; and as his comrades bear
witness, he spoke little and prayed much. At the
very beginning of the conflict, his cap was carried
off by an enemy's ball. On several occasions :he
was seen in positions of great danger, and at last,
under Mentana, he fell mortally wounded by a
ball which entered his right eye and lodged in
the brain. The shot was aimed at him by a Gari-
baldian standing quite close He was
a general favourite ; respected by all by reason
of the innocence of his life, and the goodness of
his heart. One little trait will serve to illustrate
his character better than any description. Some
little time before, it happened that he had some
words one day with his brother on an affair of no
great importance. Instead of continuing to argue
they matter angrily, he said to him at last, Wilfrid
let us kneel down and make an act of contrition,
and then shake hands.' So said, so done, and thus
ended holily their brief amantium irae. He who
can thus conquer his own passions is safe to make
a good soldier. . . ."
It has been sought to diminish the number of
prisoners in order to reduce the expense of their
maintenance. The only condition exacted is that
they shall undertake not to bear arms again
against the Pope, and there are some from whom
this is not easy to obtain. It might be more pru-
dent to detain them a little longer, till it is seen
what the Garibaldians intend to do or attempt.
Mazzini's circular, which you have had in the
Daily News, is very inflammatory, and it is re-
ported that it has somehow been conveyed to the
Mazzinian agents here, accompanied by secret
instructions, recommending them to continue to
agitate and disturb the quiet of the city in every
way in their power, by bombs, explosions, &c. It
is all very well to " recommend," but these things
can seldom be done without the preparations for
them being known to some small number of the
inhabitants, and as soon as this is the case, they
are certain to be denounced to the police. There
is no need to fear, therefore, for the people are
determined to give them no admittance.

Some of the disbanded have taken to the moun-
tains, and are showing themselves in their true
colours, performing brigand exploits in the out-
lying districts. They always disperse and dis-
appear as soon as the Gensdarmes come on the
scene. Cervara, a mountain village, not far from
Subiaco, was entered by a band of about fifty of
them, who had formed part of that of the no-
torious Antinori on the 12th. It was such a poor,
high-perched place, that it had not been thought
worth while to garrison it, and doubtless, for that
reason, it was selected by the Garibaldian brigands.
They carried off everything on which they could
lay their hands, and also took with them two of
the richest men of the place, announcing that
they would only release them for the ransom of
8,000 scudi. This need not inspire intending
visitors with fear, however, as their haunts are
quite out of the line of frequented roads. Their
favourite prey is a lone monastery, and the smaller
thelcommunity the more likely to receive a visit
from them. Money they always begin by asking,
but they do not object to clear the place :of its
linen and stores also. After the example of
spoliation set them by their own Government this
is not very surprising. There was a desperately
poor little community of missionary monks who,
having been hunted out of Poland, had found
refuge in a building on top of an exceeding high
mountain, Mentorella by name. So steep was it
that when I visited it last year I had to get off my
mule and leave it behind, finishing the ascent almost
on all-fours. A band of Garibaldian brigands
found its way up here on the night of the 7th.
Having presented five muskets at the breasts of the
trembling porter, and exacted from him the infor-
mation that the number of the community was

not formidable, they ordered them all to turn out
of bed and assemble in one room at the door of
which they posted sentinels, while the rest pro-
ceeded to ransack the house. Having despoiled it
of everything moveable, the loss complained of
only amounts to 80 scudi (£l6) showing the wan-
tonness of the attack.

I send you the text of the address which the
people of Albano have sent up to the Holy Father,
as it is one of the shortest, and it will serve to
show you the tone adopted by all the towns of
State.

" Beatissimo Padre 1" The city of Albano
deeply deplores the attempt at rebellion which
—though only for a few moments—she was
desolated on the 29th of last October, through the
act of turbulent foreigners who took advantage of
the absence of any armed force to oppose them.
They were assisted by but two or three of the
lowest of the population. The whole population
was moved to sorrow and indignation. No sooner
were we again free than wit jubilant acclamations,
and amid the joyful strains of the town band,
the honoured insignia of the Pontifical Govern-
ment were raised aloft in their due place.
" The Municipal Commission, the organ on this
occasion of the sentiments of all classes of the
people, cannot praise too highly the attitude of
the local authorities, the courage and firmness
with which they entered their solemn and energetic
protest against the acts of those seditious men. The
people have now no greater desire than to lay at
the feet of your Holiness this expression of their
united disavowal of all seditious acts and of heart-
felt sorrow that they have occurred; and to renew
the sincere homage of fidelity, love, and veneration
to the Government of your Holiness, protesting
that there is nothing which can ever separate us
from it or diminish our devotion to the Holy See
and you, our supreme Lord and Sovereign."
A word about the town bands, mentioned in the
above address, may not be out of place. It says
something for the cultivation of this population,
that in the poorest and remotest towns of the
State there are always some twenty or thirty men
who spontaneously unite to spend their evenings
in the practice of music. They wear (on festive
occasions) a kind of military uniform, including a
sword, and on all occasions of rejoicing, ecclesiasti-
cal or secular, they serve greatly to enliven their
fellow townspeople. They generally play very
creditably. The French garrison of Monte Ro-
tondo did not disdain, I noticed the other day, to
march to the strains of the local town band.

The Times, faithful to its plan of giving its
readers third-hand news on Roman subjects, I see,
has fallen into the natural errors of such a mode of
procedure in its account of the battle of Mentana
on the 12th. There is one hearsay account from
Paris, and one from Florence. " The allied troops
left Rome at five on the morning of the 3rd,"
writes the Paris correspondent, " and in an hour
were in presence of the enemy's advanced posts.
A severe combat ensued before the walls of Men-
tana. After a combat of four hours, as night
was approaching, the., Pontifical troops attacked
Mentana." It is strange that any one could have
written such nonsense, but a person writing from
the spot would have corrected his want of know-
ledge of Italian by his acquaintance with the lo-
calities. Monte Rotondo and Mentana are each a
good fifteen miles from Rome, reached by two
nearly parallel roads. That to the former, which
is the more important place, is a good, broad, fine,
high road throughout, but has been rendered use-
less for reaching it at present, as the Ponte Salara
was blown up in a late encounter. When the
troops set out for Monte Rotondo, therefore, they
were obliged to go round by Mentana, a large
portion of the road to which, running ;over two
or three miles of clay, is shockingly out of
repair, and most difficult walking for men
in heavy marching order. Now, that this
could be got over in one hour no one here
could have written. Our " Own Corre-

spondent" evidently copied from an Italian paper,
which said, " Un ora dopo mezzo giorno," or one
o'clock in the day, as that is about the time at
which all accounts agree the engagement corn
menced. Ilad they engaged the enemy "in an
hour" after they set out (at five a.m.), how could
night have been approaching at the end of four
hours' fighting (i.e., 10 a.m.) ? •
The Florence correspondent of course gives us
an Italianised version. The Garibaldians say they
were only 5,000, so of course the French and Ro-
mans lie in saying they were more. That they were
for the most part Italian soldiers is a " ridiculous
assertion." I have already given you proof enough
to show that however "ridiculous" the latter fact,
it was nevertheless true. With regard to the num-
ber, I can only say I counted above 7,000 muskets
at Monte Rotondo, and I cannot possibly have
seen all ; nor is it likely that every musket in use
was brought in and left there, so that we may
from this alone infer that General Kanzler's esti-
mate of 9,000 is quite within the mark. I have
never heard it stated lower here, though I have
heard their number estimated much higher, and
as high as 19,000 by an inhabitant of the place.
Notwithstanding these two misstatements, he is
forced into some very rational deductions. First,
that the numbers, organisation, and efficiency of
the Papal army make it quite sufficient for all
emergencies short of an inroad, strengthened by
the manifest connivance of the Italian Govern-
ment, and secondly, that the Pope's subjects hare
no sympathy with the invaders.

We are then also treated to a leading article,
founded, it is asserted, on the three official state-
ments of the Roman, French, and Garibaldian com-
manders ; but as these documents are not given in
the same paper, the ordinary reader has not the
means of checking the statements supposed to be
taken from each. The article in its general tone
is written as much from a Garibaldian point de vue,
as if " inspired" by some Secret Committee or Head
Centre of the sect. The writer seems well ac-
quainted with Garibaldi's ideas and intentions, for
he gives us boldly and without hesitation the rea-
son of his moving out of Monte Rotondo, which
has never been very satisfactorily accounted for.
" llowever destitute of political capacity, there is
no doubt he possesses great strategical and tactical
ability," he continues. This is the first time I ever
heard strategical ability imputed to him, and 1
should think there was great " doubt" of it. The
most that has ever been claimed for him hitherto
has been a kind of stubborn brute courage, which
made him a good whipper-in of incapable and re-
luctant troops ; but even this has utterly failed
him on this occasion, as I will show further on, if
facts have not already shown it plainly to the most
careless observer. 'I hat he was not attacked una-
wares, as he was " struggling across the narrow
and woody gorge between Mentana and the
adjoining hills," we have the testimony of the Gari-
baldian Bersagliere Cacciami, whose account I
sent you the week before last, and whom the
Florence correspondent of the Times quotes as
gospel. His testimony agrees perfectly with that
of General Kanzler, that the Garibaldians were
posted in command of every bit of rising or
vantage ground. lle Failly's account throws ad-
ditional light on it. Ile says :—" We crossed the
Nomentana bridge, which had only been aban-
doned by the Garibaldians the night before." The
Nomentana bridge is some twelve miles nearer
Rome, and it is most probable the Garibaldians
left it on hearing from Mrs. Mario White that the
allies were coming that way, in order to concen-
trate their forces. " At about an hour after midday,"
continues the French General, " the Garibaldian
outposts stationed in the woods flanking the road
opened fire on the Pontifical vanguard." General
Kanzler, who may surely be trusted as well as the
Condotierre, Fabrizzi and Messori, " not to put his
name to deliberate falsehoods," expressly tells us
of the strong barricades behind which they had
entrenched themselves, evidently showing delibe-
rate preparation and no " surprise." The natural
barricades, however. are strong enough, and any
one who is familar with the spot may wonder at the
daring of any troops which should venture to dis-
lodge an army in possession of such a position.
The road for some distance before the Vigna
Santucci is completely commanded by a steep bank,
at the base of which, skirting the road, runs a thick
hedge forming a perfect breastwork. The slope is

covered with stout trees, every one of which would
afford abundant cover for three or four men.
There is no doubt that when the Papal troops came
up they found every bit of this natural fort well
occupied with muskets, and that yet they dashed
into it and cleared it of the enemy.
The article goes on :—" On the night between
the 2nd and 3rd the Papal and French forces had
marched out of Rome. "Four o'clock in the morn-
ing is not ' night.' Neither is Mentana " situated
to the south-west of Monte Rotondo," but rather to
the south-east. Nor can the buildings of the formor
be called " straggling." They are all situated on
the top of a steep hill, bound together by strong
mediaeval walls, and it is as compact a little town
as could be found in any part of the world. These
are only minor inaccuracies ; however, let them
pass.

"The French column was made up," the article
proceeds (after stating the strength of the Papal
column with talerable accuracy) —" of three batta-
lions and a battery, according to Papal accounts, of
five battalions, as we learn from French authori-
ties. General Failly computes the whole force at
3,000 Pontifical and 2,000 French combatants." I
do not know the writer's object in trying to make
out a discrepancy between the two accounts, but
it is most unfair ; my previous quotations from them
will have shown you how nearly identical they are.
In order, however, to show the wilful malice of
the above paragraph and its misstatement, will
copy General Kanzler's statement of the French
forces :
" 1 Battalion of Chasseurs.
" 1 Battalion of the Ist Regiment of the Line.
" 1 Battalion of the 29th Regiment of the Line.
" 2 Battalions of the 59th Regiment of the Line.

Five Battalions in all ; then why say the Papal
account says there were only three battalions and
a battery.
" Further, aplatoon of the 7th Chasseurs on horse-
back, a platoon of Pontifical dragoons, half a bat-
tery of artillery, making a total of about 2,000
men." He had added up above the various bodies
of Pontificals at 2,913, and he adds, " so that the
two columns together made up a figure little short
of 5,000." Could any two accounts coincide better?
I do not know either what is the object of the
Garibaldian account in denying that Italians failed
to recognise the French. But in spite of the Times'
remark that " the uniform of the Papal army " [a
slip of the pen, doubtless for the Antibes or
Roman Legion]" differs in nothing, as all are
aware ; "but the cockade from that of the French"
every street-boy knows the difference at first sight
—the comparatively tight trousers with a broad
black stripe down them in place of the Turkish
trousers of the French, the small jacket coming a
short way below the belt, the different buttons and
many other tokens distinguish them at once.
After speaking of the success of the Chassepot
rifle, he says—" The advantage of arms told even
more significantly against the Garibaldians than
mere superiority of numbers might have done."
What an insidious sentence ! not daring, of
course, to go the length of asserting that the allies
had the advantage of numbers, but just throwing
it in by the way to lead the careless reader to infer
they had ; and all the while it was the Garibal-
dians who had the superiority of numbers, being
nearly double
" The mass" of Garibaldini " were not only
unskilled, but worn out and half-starved." These
are gratuitous- assertions invented to screen his
favourites. We have seen enough to know they
were by no means unskilled, seeing they were for
the most part regular soldiers ; and as to worn-
out and half-starved,' how could that be ? What
had they had to wear them out ? The Pontificals
and French had to fight after a long and fatiguing
march ; but these sheep,' what had they done ?
The article begins by telling us they had had four
days' inaction—that is, rest—at Monte Rotondo,
and there is no reason to apprehend that they
starved themselves out of regard to the rights of
property of the corn and cattle dealers of the neigh-
bourhood.

" The French accounts describe both places as of

great natural strength, and it is evident that all
attempts at storming them were put off till the mor-
row." How he pounces on the assertion, as if he
had made a mot sagacious discovery in the teeth
of an attempt to imply ithe contrary ! But has he
General Kanzler's report at all, or can he not read
Italian ? Why does he not honestly tell us from
it that the Generaldecided at nightfall to defer all
further operations till daylight, and the wise fore-
sight on which he acted ? The paragraph in the
report giving these details you will find quoted in
my last.

The numbers given of dead, wounded, and pri-
soners are not sneeered at as the easiest way of
getting out of acknowledging that the rout was
utter. 44 The prisoners, according to the same ac-
count, amounted to 1,600 brought by the con-
querers to Rome."
In spite of this hint at possible error the official
Florence Gazette, which cannot err in the eyes of
such papers as the Times, announced on the 17th
that Government had received the list of the pri-
soners in Rome, and had found their number
amounted to 1,775 !

But the strangest bit of special pleading is in
the final paragraph. After confessing that "war-
fare like Garibaldi's in other lands" (he does not
condescend to explain why not in this land also)
" would be filibustering ;" that " it was against all
national no less than international laws that he
drew his sword ;" that "he was no less a rebel to
his King and country than a common foe to the
neighbouring States," and that " such means can
be justified by no end." After all this he still claims
admiration for him and his troops on the plea that
they fought well ! If blazing away at an unpro-
tected enemy from behind a thick hedge, or the
trunk of a tree, or the wall of a house, is fighting
well, then all praise be to them ; but that a force so
well provided with arms could suffer themselves to
be driven out of such a series of commanding positions
is an instance of such wretched incapacity that one's
only regret is they were not worth conquering.
Certainly they would not have been but for their
overpowering superiority in numbers and position.

The immense strength of both Mentana and
Monte Rotondo is sufficient, one would think, to
have induced any general of spirit to have made
some effort to hold them. The mediaeval walls
and castles of each, built into the solid rock, an
almcst perpendicular steep of many hundred feet,
invite an attempt at defence, and only eight days
before a few over 300 Pontificals did hold Monte
Rotondo for thirty hours against more than 3,000
of the enemy. The magnificent view from its
tower, embracing the whole valley of the Tiber
and all the country up to Rome itself, gives you a
good idea of its elevation. And then it is not de-
nied that there were at least five pieces of artil-
lery. But what shall we say of a general who,
during "four days of inaction" and with thou-
sands of idle men at his command, does not make
the least effort to repair the gates or walls of
such a stronghold ? Just as his bands knocked
them about to get in, just so they remained when
the allies entered.

When I went in through the. Ports Romana
(which his men burnt down at last on the 26th of
October, by firing barrels of petroleum and sul-
phur against them), and saw the small charred
remnants of the former gates floating high in air
like two great blackbirds of ill-omen, and no at-
tempt at replacing them, I felt half inclined to
give credit to the wild story which the people,
ever fond of the marvellous, are prone to believe,
that the real Garibaldi was killed years ago, and
that the present holder of the name, set up to keep
up the advantage of the prestige attached to it, has
neither genius nor bravery.
A more melancholy instance of weakness, in-
capacity, and absence of all soldierly qualities was
probably never displayed. But to challenge
admiration for their "good fighting " is simple
mockery. The writer of the Times article has yet
one plea more. He has most unluckily deprived
them of one excuse for running away, namely
terror at the approach of the French, by making
out that they did not recognize them. He says
they had spent all their ammunition—they had
fired away seventy rounds. Seventy rounds
would, if there were 9,000 men, amount to

630,000 charges, or even at the false computation
of 5,000 men 350,000 charges. And with this
fabulous number of charges only 172 were put
hors de combat, giving them the benefit of adding
in the one man who was " missing ;" and this is
what the Times calls " good fighting !" I wonder
—rather one need not wonder—how it would
have qualified such wretched inefficiency could it
have occurred on the Papal side !
And now, would it have been anything more
than bare fairness if the writer of the article had
inserted the testimony which De Failly's official
report bears to the conduct of the Papal troops ?
Does any one think he would have omitted it had
it been to find fault? This is what he says :
"The troops under General Kanzler had the
honour of marching forth to the attack." Fur-
ther on—" The woods were rapidly and most
brilliantly stormed by the Zouaves, who succeeded
in taking possession of all the heights commanding
Mentana. . . . The Roman Legion and the

Pontifical Carabineers had suffered considerably,
and continued to offer a determined resistance to
the enemy. . . The two wings being strongly
placed in position, it remained to attempt an
attack with the centre. An active reconnaissance
was vigorously pushed forward towards Mentana
by the Pontifical troops, to whom had been assigned
this assault. . . . Our losses were "so and so,
"those of the Papal army, having to sustain
,the
principal attack, were, consequently, far more
considerable. . . . I cannot close my report

better than by adverting to the impetuosity
and valour which the Pontifical troops everywhere
displayed." The French army takes a pleasure in
rendering this testimony. I wanted to follow
the; various errors of the Times about Mentana
to the end without interruption, so I have deferred
till now noticing an absurd paragraph in the
same letter from the Florence correspondent,quoted
from the Diritto as follows :—" The prisons,
crammed with nearly 3,000 individuals arrested for
mere precaution's sake by the Pontifical police,
are emptying by order of the French." Comment-
ing on this, the correspondent adds—" The most
determined enemies of intervention admit that
they at once put an end to the species of terrorism
which the Papal Government imposed upon the
city." I showed the paragraph to one who deeply
interests himself in all public affairs here, and
who must know the state of the case as to the
political prisoners, and he treated the whole thing
with contempt, unable to see how any one could
care for the statements of a paper which could let
itself be so miserably led away. " But," I said,
" tell me what I shall say in answer to it.'
" What can you say ?" he replied. " When a man
asserts a thing which is completely and utterly
false, there is no answer to be made but that it
is false—false from beginning to end." This, how-
ever, led hiM to speak of how the Papal Govern-
ment is far too much inclined to err on the sidelof
lenience than on that of severity. " What other
country of the world," he asked, "is there, in
which the conspirators who concocted the horri-
ble plot of blowing up the Serristori barracks would
not have been hanged or shot forthwith ? Yet this
Government hesitates to punish them. This re-
minded him of another proof, which he also gate
me. lie said, "When we were patrolling the streets
within a few days of the Serristori affair, and
when several similar plots were dejoues by the
police, we used to walk along in company with the
Gendarmi. Of course we challenged whoever we
met after a late hour of night. During the first
hours they were generally Romans, who gave a
rational account of their business out of doors, their
names and addresses and were suffered to pass un-
molested, the gendarmi always exercising their
office with great courtesy. But after lor 2 o'clock
in the morning those we met were invariably for-
eigners. Have you any papers ?' the gendarmi
would ask. Oh, yes, here they are,' was always the
ready answer ; and then they always produced an
Italian (Piedmontese) passport, all of them worded
identically as if each had been traced off the other
with a copying machine, showing forth that so-
and-so had set out to Viaggiare per l'Africa of
l'Ainevica.' Miserable objects, who hardly looked
as if they had a penny to bless themselves with,
trying to make believe that they had come out
with the indefinite intention of travelling through
either Africa or America, they were not sure
which ! When we had passed a certain number of
these I grew impatient, and I said to the gen-
darme "Why do you let all these fellows go. They
must be bent on mischief. What good can they
be doing at this time of night'? They ought every
one, be arrested if we are to preserve public
s Lfety." Of course they ought,' replied the
geniarme ; there is no doubt of that, but what are
we to do ? Our orders are to meddle with people
as little as possible, and not to touch any whose
papers are en regle. Of course, I know the
trick about l'Africa o l'Ameriea that is all a blind
Last year everybody's passport was for la Grecia,
but their papers are en regle for all that." This
is not exactly like "`terrorism." I know many
naturally timid people living here—several in-
stances of single ladies living by themselves, some
with the very smallest establishments—the class of
people, I suppose, the most easily frightened, but
who did not appear to feel any " terror" at all.
The fact is a little: more severity would be very
salutary, and if a little terrorism were but ex-
ercised it might set our Piedmontese conspirators
to learn some more creditable trade than throwing
bombs and blowing up houses.

Where people are perversely determined to dis-
tort events, it is, I suppose, a waste of words to set
them right. Yet there is one statement quoted
from the Roman letter of the Pall Mall, in your
article on " False Notes from Rome," of the 16th,
which is so ludicrous to us who witnessed the
facts, that I cannot forbear adverting to it. It
is the following, alluding to the entrance of the
Garibaldian prisoners :—" The melancholy pro-
cession was watched by 40,000 spectators, whose
presence alarmed the authorities, and troops were
drawn up at the Quirinal in anticipation of a dis-
turbance. But the vast crowd preserved an un-
broken silence, only uncovering to the Garibal-
dians." Now, I walked beside the procession
from outside Porta Pia into the centre of Rome,
and I will undertake to say that through the
whole line of march there were nothing like even
40 hundred spectators. 400 would be a much
nearer guess. Had the Government had the
least apprehension of a " disturbance," is it likely
that the Garibaldian officers would have been
suffered, as with much too great forbearance they
were, to carry their swords, or that they would
have been marched through the city (there were
over 1,000 of them, remember) escorted by less
than 300 soldiers? The troops drawn up on the
route had no connection with any idea of " dis-
turbance." Had the Pall Mall correspondent been
better informed, he would have known they sim-
ply stood there to relieve the guard of the tired
soldiers who brought the prisoners in, and who
could from that spot conveniently reach their
barracks at the Macao. I will further undertake to
say that not one Roman " uncovered to the;Gari-
baldians "—that is to say, openly or ostensibly. If
any sneaking American or Piedmontese raised his
hat for the sake of enabling it to be said the thing
had been dime, he must have taken good care not
to let it be observed. I was there to watch the
attitude of the people more than anything else,
and I was particularly struck by the absence of any-
thing like sympathy. Sometimes, when a dejected
wretch, more ragged and footsore than another,
limped by, he might elicit an exclamation of com-
passion, but it was always of the kind of compas-
sion linked to contempt.
These English advocates out-Herod Herod with
their special pleading. While they are pretending
to bear testimony to sympathizing which never
existed, the Italians themselves, with greater
honesty, at least, are vituperating the Ro-
mans for their absence of sympathy.
" It must be spoken out," writes the Ri-
farina, "in order that there may be no illusion on
the subject in the future, all these populations are
so brutish, that they care nothing about Italy, or
Unification, or Liberty ; nothing about the cause
which the volunteers are supporting, and the Flo-
rence Government is abandoning. For what, for
whom, is it we are getting ourselves shot down ?
When we entered Montana, not one cry of rejoic-

ing or encouragement greeted us. During the
struggle, no hand was held out to help us, and
after it was over, no one of the inhabitants admi-
nistered a word of consolation over our discom-
fiture."

By a slip of the pen—excusable, as I was very ill
when I wrote—l see the population of Mentana is
stated in my letter in your impression of the 16th at
6,000 ; it should be " under 600."

The railway service is now completely re-esta-
blished, and runs regularly, as before, between
Florence, Rome, and Naples.
In spite of the predictions of certain Italian jour-
nals, and, one may add, the erroneous statements
of the English Crown Speech, there is, so far, no
indication of any intention on the part of the
French to forsake us. They are strengthening
the defences round Rome and Civita Vecchia,
and they go halves with the Papal troops in gar-
risoning all the towns of the provinces. The troops
now here comprise the two divisions under Generals
Dumont and Bataille, but they have brought artil-
lery enough for four divisions.
It may be a relief to some timid travellers to
learn that the barricades erected round those of
the gates which were not altogether closed, and
which have been guarded sedulously up to the pre-
sent time, are now being removed, which may be
taken as an indication that there is no further
attack expected.
The Triduo for the peace of the Church has
been largely attended on Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday this week. In fact it is necessary
to come to Rome to acquire the idea of what
church-going can be. It is something " strange
to an English eye" to see congregations too large
to number easily, in which men hold a larger pro-
portion than women, and that in the middle of the
day on a week day. Yet that might have been
seen in many churches during these three days.
The devotions at the Gesit were probably the most
followed of all. The General of the Order sang
the Mass ; the choir was very successfully led by
the German College.

There was a grand Requiem office this morning at
St. John Lateran for the repose of the souls of all
who have fallen in the defence of the Holy See.
The catafalque was very imposing, surrounded by
torches and appropriate inscriptions, in-
cluding the names of the various victories, alter-
nated with texts. All the officers of the staff of
both armies were present, aria ah immense crowd
of people, filling the huge Basilica in every part,
testified how popular is the object of the office.
The following quotations from Italian papers
are, I think, both interesting and instructive.
The first shall be from the Italia. In an article
in its impression of the 15th, speaking of the men
composing the present Ministry, it writes thus :
" We have fallen so low that we are, obliged ti;o
raise to the Ministry men whom formerly we should
have thought hardly fit to fill the office of inspec-
tors of police."

The next shall be from the Nazione. It gives
us some insight into what manner of men the
Garibaldian leaders are :—" We know for certain
that a certain De 8., a lieutenant in the Garibal-
dian army, has been put on his trial for robbery
with violence. One Spinozzi, colonel in the same
army, who was Commandante di Piazziat Monte-
fiascone, is charged with embezzling 1,262 lire,
belonging to the account of duty on salt and to-
bacco, which came into his hands in the exercise
of his functions.

The Sentinella Bresciana may be quoted next
in confirmation of the above :—" One of the
bravest of the Genoese Carabineers, who has fol-
lowed Garibaldi on six occasions, said three days
ago—" I shall certainly not go out with him a
seventh time ; the impure element in these expe-
ditions is now far too strong, and our name stinks
in the nostrils of the Roman populations. They
have seen so little good of us that they rejoice
over our discomfiture. They have shown us this
in the most energetic way, and we have made them
hail the advent of the French soldiery as their
very liberators."

THE W ALK FROM PORTLAND TO
CHICAGO.

As Weston's pedestrian feat is exciting attention
in England, as well as in America, we give the
following from Wilkes' Spirit of the Times :
Edward Payson Weston, the young pe lestrian, who
created somewhat of a sensation in 1861 by walking
from Boston to Washington against time, averag-
ing fifty-one miles for ten consecutive days, has
been pitted against his old antagonist to walk from
Portland, Maine, to Chicago, Illinois, a distance of
1,200 miles, in twenty-six walking days, for
the sum of $lO,OOO a side. George F. Good-
win backs the pedestrian, T. F. Wilcox, risk-
ing his money on Weston's failure. The articles
of agreement provide that Weston is to perform
his arduous labour in 30 days, without walking
between midnight on Saturday and midnight on
Sunday. Ile is to follow the Post Road; is to
walk 100 consecutive miles inside of 24 consecutive
hours as a part of the feat, Weston being privileged
to make five trials, on such days as he may select,
provided he fails in his first attempt; he will be ac-
companied by two sworn witnesses for each side,
who are to follow him in a waggon, and are each to
make statement under oath as to his progress, and
the stakes ($20,000, less $1,200 already up as for-
feit) are to be handed to the winner at Chicago as
soon as the result is ascertained. The start from
Portland will be made between the Ist and 15th
of October.

The following is Mr. Weston's calculation as to
the points at which he will stop, and the number of
miles he expects to make on each day :
Leave Portland at 12 o'clock, m., Tuesday, Oc-
tober 15 ; walk to Kennebunk, Me., 23 miles ;
Wednesday, 16th, Salem, Mass., 60 miles ; Thurs-
day, 17th, North Attleboro', 46 miles ; Friday,
18th, leave Attleboro' at 5 p.m., walk to East Hart-
ford, Connecticut, a distance of 100 miles, arriving
at 4.55 p.m. on Saturday ; Saturday, 19th, Hart-
ford, 2 miles ; Monday, 21st, Cornwall Bridge, 54
miles; Tuesday, 22d, Chatham Four Corners,
N. Y., 52 miles ; Wednesday, 23d, Schenectady,
46 miles; Thursday, 24th, a. Jones, 47 miles;
Friday, 25 h. Rome, 46 miles ; Saturday,
Warner's, 47 miles; Monday, 28th, Palmyra, 49
miles; Tuesday, 29th, Byron, 47 miles; Wednesday,
30th, Buffalo, 45 wiles ; Thursday, 31st, Brocton,
43 miles ; Friday, Nov. Ist, Erie, Pennsylvania,
49 miles ; Saturday, 2d, Geneva, Ohio, 50 miles ;
Monday, 4th, Cleveland, 45 miles ; Tuesday, sth,
Wakeman, 43 miles; Wednesday, 6th, Tremont,
39 miles; Thursday, 7th, Springfield, 39 miles;
Friday, Bth, Bryan, 45 miles; Saturday, 9th,
Ligonier, Ind., 54 miles; Monday, 11th, Mishanaka,
45 miles; Tuesday, 12th, Calumet, 49 miles;
Wednesday, 13th, Chicago Junction, 111., 32 miles ;
Thursday, 14th, reach Chicago, 6 miles, at 12 m.
On this trip Weston will pass through parts of
ten different States and more than 300 cities and
towns. In a private letter he says—" The calcu-
lation for each day's travel is made on the supposi-
tion that I do not fail to make 100 miles in the
walk from North Attleboro' to East Hartford. Fail-
ing in this, however, I have four other trials, which
I shall make at intervals of five days. In 1861 I
made an average of 51 miles per day for ten conse-
cutive days, in the worst season of the year for
walking—February and March. On this trip my
average will be but 47 miles, and the feat is to be
performed during the pleasantest part of the year.
I have tried nine different times to walk 100 miles
in 24 consecutive hours, but have never succeeded.
On one trial I came within two miles of it. I think
I can accomplish the feat after a week's practice,
and if I am successful ou the fourth day of the trip,
I would not give ten cents to be insured the vic-
tory."
Should Weston fail, on each trial, to make 100
consecutive miles in 24 hours, his backer forfeits six-
tenths of the stake, whether the whole distance be
accomplished in the given time or not.
On the 29th ult., at 12 in., Weston started from
Portland on his herculean feat, and arrived at Saco,
Maine, at 3.25 p.m., being thirty-five minutes ahead
of time. He dined there and started again, arriving
at North Berwick at Midnight in fine condition.
He missed the road twice and went three miles out
of his way.

[By the latent intelligence he had arrived at

Buffalo on the 14th inst. ahead of time. This
brings him 699 miles, and he is therefore more than
half way on his road to Chicago. On the 15th he
left Buffalo to make another attempt at his 100
miles in 24 hours. If successful in this he Will
reach Erie, and he is said to be in excellent spirits,
so that his backers are confident of his success. AS
the mail left on the morning of the 16th the result
was not known.—ED. A. A. T.]
INDIANS AGAINST TIME.—DEERFOOT RUNS FIVE
MILES IN 261 MINUTES.—A novel and exciting
race came off on the 24th of October, on the track of
the Zanesville Driving Park Association, County Fair
grounds, which excited no little excitement among
the fancy, a race by three Indians, Deerfoot, Stevens,
and Steeprock, against time. Two o'clock was the hour
for the start, but it was nearly three before the In-
dians with moccasins, tight breeches, and large
shawls, appeared at the northern part of the grounds,
and slowly walked arround the waggon road to the
judges' stand. The judges announced that the young
Indian Steeprock would only run two miles and then
draw off, owing to ill-health. At the proper time, the
Indians at the word " Go," started. Young Steeprock
soon took the lead, Deerfoot next, and Stevens be-
hind. In this position they ran the first four rounds,
two miles, with increasing distance beween Steep-
rock and Deerfoot, and Stevens falling still further
behind. At the close of the fourth round young
Steeprock drew off from the track. Deerfoot, at
the close of the sixth round, was half the length of
the track ahead of Stevens, and this distance be
gradually kept increasing until at the close of his
tenth round, Stevens had but little more than com-
pleted his ninth. The whole distance (five miles)
was made by Deerfoot in the following time :—First
mile, 5.02 ; second mile, 5.16 ; third mile, 5.27 ;
fourth mile, 5.20 ; fifth mile, 5.25. Whole time:
26 min. 30 sec. Stevens occupied 28 min. 35 sec.
completing the distance. The track was in excel-
lent condition, smooth as a floor.
