Viii, The town Of Brescia showed Little more tnsn

to house the 10 900 wounded OF the battle OF noerno,
when only 5000 beds could be provided by the exer
tons Of the army; not house was wi, l somS

under the orders of Colonels Fabriz and lnderucc0
received orders 10 advance toward Gesso on the NH
road while the st and I'd Brgades OF the I5h DIVISION
received orders to hasten the road from Caanis 70
Messina. The advanced guard of the ID Brigade had
already occupied Taormira considered az the ias,!o-
phse of Messina on he eastern shore. The Isl brig
aade was Oh It's way from Not, toward Catania.
The garrison, enclosed in the ctsdelof Melazso was
summoned to withdraw, leaving behind guas, horses,
and the whole war mat6riet. This was refused, ana
in consequence the means had to be thought OF to re-
duce it. The guns OF the Tuckori were 10 DC .aken
cut and at the came time telegram sent TO Palermo
to bring down fresh reenforcements and some OF the
large guns which were there.
On the I'D the steamer Aberdeen sailea in boldly in
spite of shower of i1.amed shot, which flew about
her. but none Of which injured ner. She brought
several of the native battaons and some guns, dsem'
ba, ked her cargo, and left again the next day.
While thus on one hand everything WAS preparing
in case that the garrison would not be brought to
terms it seen from the kilograms exchanged be,
itself every moment less capable of holding out fhe
return message from Messna was that the commander
had sent to Naples to obtain permission for the garr

This morning, finally, four Neapolitan figates hove
in sight and Colonel Anzano, Of the Etat Major came
on shore with full powers 10 treat Trusting to the
presence of the four frgates, he at hrst AS lined
rather high tone hoping TO get for the garrison the
sane favorable terms as those accorded 70 that OF
Palermo but he soon found out with whom he had to
do Garibsldi had made his terms, and he told the
uegotiator that the whole feet Of Naples would not
make HIM swerye. What he had offered to the garri,
sion before the arrival Of tho naval squadron he would
give TO il now-neher more nor less; 30 that Colonel
Anzano, seeing that he determined, gave in, and
accepted the cOndi iODs laid down by Carl adj.

Meazzo begsn, and i'll the evening it was completed
One among the frsJ embarked was Col. Bosco, who
although escorted by several officers had to pass
through ehre OF Kisses, which seems to De the only
reward he gets for his pains He boosted OF having
taken Mtdi bay horse rather indifferent ami mai,
and now he was Obliged to leave behind hn own gray,
a far better horse. The wounded were brought down
through the town to the beach, where they were en-
baIked. This gave an Opportunity to all those who
wished TO desert Above ALL in the artillery there are
good many wto took advantage Of this tempting OPP
poItunity. Among the rest sergeant guard came
over with arms and iggsge.
As usual the Ntapoitans would not leave without

first for eight OF the spiked guns pointed toward the
land SIDE.
are the material fruits of the victory Of Melazzo but
they Represent only small portion of the real results
of this victory, which will probably open the gates Of
Messins. II is what Calataimi was for Palermo. 1t
establishes once more the superiority Of thu Cacc ator
sgss. all odds Of position and cannon If the dIspro
portion In numbers was not as great as az Calatahmi
the advantage of the Neapotans in point Of position
and artillery perhaps greater before Melazzo than
at Caafsfmi. They had sent there the flower OF the
Nespolitan army in Sicily, all volunteers who had
called upon to form the expedition. They were COM
mapded by the man who enjoys. deservedly or unde-
seryedly, the highest reputation among Neapolitan
leaders. And all this was overthrown by one days
fohf. What chance was there Of holdin out under
any circumstances?
Indeed, already yesterday the telegraph along the
NJ. ssna shore reported great movement OF steamers
between Messna aud Reggie, and the embarkaton of
all the cavalry and part Of the artillery. Ii Is high

the N,apotsns for the third time The forts at Mes
sina cannot contain than 900 or 5000 men, and
there are $4,000 if not more there, without counting
those who evacuated Meazzo
Already yesterday the advanced guard of aedici's
corps advanced tar Spadafora; this morning the
advanced guard was pushed as far as Gesso, and
Medci himself left replace his vanguard Spadafora.
Tomorrow the attempt will be made to crown the
nights above Messins Should the Neapolitans with
draw, aud evacuate the town, we are 10 occupy the
town, otherwise the Neapoltans will be attacked and
driven away by the combined efforts of the column ar
