THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST.

We stated some days ago, upon the author.
ity Of merchants, and other friends returning
from the North. that the contest for the Pre-
sidency had narrowed down to Bell and Lin
coin. These two were the only candidates
who stood any chance for the high Office.
These reports have since been confirmed by
the candid admission Of prominent and in
teligent Democrats, who have been travelling
North. BY many ofour own friends, and lastly
by the Republicans themselves. The Wash.
ington City correspondent Of the New York
Times, one of the more moderate, and there
fore more TO be relied on, Of the Republican
papers, after making the most careful calcn.
latlons. from inforaation derived from hsao
quarters, admits and declares the contest
now 10 be between Bell and Lincoln. Such
an admission from the Black Republicans, |.

have been made. il il could have been avoid
ed bat they could no longer keep the proc
Of the fact from becoming known.
But this is not all /; the same correspon-

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.

Very little can be understood from the
Geographic reports sent through the country
on the arrival Of a steamer. So we give the
following briei but plain synopsis Of the news
BY the steamers geographically reported in
the last Observer:
/" The details received Of the late Sandman
victory near Ancona are Of the greatest in
terest. Gen. Lamoriciere (Romish) was the
attacking party, and his defeat was decisive
and complete. The General fed to Ancona,
which contains all that is left the disnrgan,
lied Ievies Of the Pope. A large portion of
Gen. Lamorlciere's troops capituiated on The
field Of battle, and the remnant in Ancona
have no other course left but to follow their
example. Among the prisoners taken at
Spoietto we're SIX hundred Of the Irish Brl-
gade. The effect Of this battle is to transfer
the whole OF the Roman territory from the
dominion Of the Pope TO that ni Victor Eman-
uel, who is nov, IN very deed, King Of Italy
L is true that Rome. Viterbo and Ciyita
Necchia have been guaranteed by France t.
the Sovereign Pontiff; but His Holiness is
said g be preparing AZ alncution, in which
he will declare his determination 10 Withdraw
from Rome. This will relieve the Emperor
Napoleon IRON his present very embarrassing
position, for as SION as the Pope leaves, the
French troops will leave also. and the Sardi-
mans wiil occupy the Eternal City. The
great danger TO tie ultimate success nf the
revolution appears TO lie IN the contest now
going on betseen Garibaldi and the Count
de Ca,ODr. The former has written Ia the
King, perempiorily demanding the Minister
dismissal. Austria Is making enormous miI /.
,iary preparations in yenet,a aHd On the
shores 81 the Alriatic. but she VIII not op-
pose the re,olation unless her llaiisn posse,
