had risen above the horizon, Admari, ac-
comPaniea by Cesario and Giascopo. was
far on his way to the head quarters of the
Duke Of BourSon's army. Adimar had
been employed by The Ghibelius party to
negotiate with those mobiles of Florence
who were disaffected to the republican gov

Florentins territory, did not relax his speed

reached Braociano, the array had moved
forward, and encamPed near the abbey OF
Farfa. 1t was a brilliant and enlivening
spectacle to see the extended line of tents, far

soldiers in their various costumes galloping
about the fields, their arms glitterins in the
sunshine; and to hear their cries of Joy
yinging in the clear air, as they saw the
coveted prize-'the Eternal City!, rising
before them in ils,hallowed magnifcence In
the midst of the field was the tent Of the
Duke of'Bsrbon, distinguished BY the I'm
perial Eagle, and white Standard waving
proudly over it. The royal leader was
surrounded by officers of high ranE; bu
