The mails by the steamship Canadian have
arrived. The London Times of the 14th ult.,
has the following comments on
THE FALL OF aAETA-
** "Al 1s now over. Francis II.
has done his best aid his worst, and has delay
ed and not changed the event The siege OF
Gaeta has been useless and senseless conflict.
Every man who has fallen during these five
weary months has been murdered for the win
est Of reaaons--to satisfy the point Of honor.
We in England saw this from the first, and
the Prince who has more than any one else
helped to pTolong TIE Lstr9gglen e must ;n hare re
Italy from distance knew how impossible It
was that the royal power, once oyerthrown in
the Two aicilies, could eTer be 1ehabilitated
| by the successes OF Gaeta. When at Palermo
| Gaxibaldians, the government Of the Bourbons
/ crumbled to the ground in the eyes Of Europe
Such an army 1t Was justly thought must ar
que political system and ruler whom moth
Gle has been continually repeated The army,
the fleet, the civil departments, the Church,
| even part Of the royal family, deserted to or
I endeavored to make terms with the enemy.
| The Bourbons could never be restored for
there was nothing left through which they
could rule. Some priests in the country dis
t1icts, with the peasantry they taught, were
the only Bourbon p2rtisans left In the king
dom. Had no foreign power interfered, all
would have been at peace in few weeks.
/ But the French Emperor thought TT to show
his sympathy with the royal cause We have
been told by tie atoaist.sr and tbs statement
has been repeated from the Imperial hps-that
| Napoleon was actuated only BY pity for one
| who at IN early age had met with great
calamity, and that be desired only to ensure
| voted Queen. But with all the respect for the
| Emperoz's talents, We must take leave to say
that If these were his only motives his conduct
was singnla1ly Mjudged. There can be no
list, Republican, Ultramontane or Royalist, has
interpreted the presence Of Admiral Barber
| de Tinau at Gaeta as support to the Cause Of
the. Bourbon monarchy. As soon as it Was
known that the French were interfering, back
came some Of the European diplomatic corps
/ who had previously abandoned the fallen king.
The Pope only thanked Napoleon for :hia
/ pious resistance to revolution. In Naples
] itself, signs Of formidable Bourbon cohbpi-
, ra.y eoon appeared There was everyWhere q
reinstate the King, and the Churchiils, and
i Danbys Of Southern Italy began to reflect that
It would be as well to be on the winning
J. | side. Hence reasonable movements be-
| gun in the capital, headed by officers in the
Neapoltan service, and summary arrests and
tho authorities. The !nsurrections in the
= Abruzzi were planned and, carried out by the
! assistance Of politicians high in office Ii the
Papal States, and the whole power Of the
the Emperor n his supposed design Of pro
trectiug the Bourbon sovereign. Francis him
, self was mainly encouraged 70 pereist by tht
hope that the Emperor meant ultimately te
