which they occupied. Malenchini commanded
the left Generals Medici and Cnsenz the centre:
while the right was composed Of few compan-
les only, intended to cover the centre and left
wing from a surprise. Garbad was in the
centre, where the action was expected to be the
sharpest. The firing began on the left from the
Neapolitan outposts, concealed in reed-bed, half
way between Meri and NIilazzo. quarter of
an hour later the centre attacked the Ncapolitans
from some houses which they occupied AS the

him back. The latter were at first obliged to
retire before tire superior numbers Of the enemy;
but, when other troops came up to their aid.
they again attacked the enemy, many of whom
were still concealed among reeds and protected
by fig trees, so that charge with the bayonet
was impossible. Medici, while advancing at the

neers and some guides, attempted to take the
enemy in the flank, but suddenly came on a gun
placed in the centre of the road, and which he
determined to attack. When within twenty

only five or six men remained standing. Carl

had done all this mischief was taken soon after
Then the Neapotan infantry opened and gave
passage to charge of fifty cavalry for the pur-
pose of retaking the piece Colonel Dunon's
men, who had been but little under fire. threw
themselves to the sides of the road instead of
receiving their bayonets. The cavalry came
like whirluind, the Sicilians firing from both
sides.
''Thus assaulted both right and left, the COM
mander of the Neapoitan cavalry stopped, and
wanted to turn back, but found the passage
barred by Gen. Garibaldi Misori, Statella, and
five or six men. The General seized the officers

Meanwhile, three or four sabres were raised
