go a. foretal that IL the desperate circum-

defeated than he has been heretofore. 1t is
not reasonable to suppose that when he could
not succeed against the half OF GAKlBALprs

the latter were flushed with the excitement
of their late victory, he should be successful
now. when half his forces have been killed,
taken or dispersed, when those which remain
are depressed by defeat, and when his adver-
sary is so highly animated by his victory, as
he necessarily must be. We can see no end to
the siege of Capua, bat its absolute and I'M
conditional submission.
