PoNTIFICIAL STATES, November Sd,
Evening.-DuriDg the past few days
General Garibaldi concentrated his
forces around his former position at
Monte Rotondo. Yesterday afternoon
Signors Corte, Crispi and Sevartent,
supporters of his cause, and formerly i
deputation from the revolutionary So
ciety, begged of him to withdraw the
Italian troops that had crossed the
frontier. Garibaldi refused, saying he
did not value his life in such a cause
and that q soldier ought not to count
the number of his senemies. Signor
Corte replied as a General should. The
deputation then left the camp.
This morning Garibaldi with about
three thousand Of his command, having
two guns, moved for TivOla To join
Nicotera, one of his officers. In the
mean time the Papal Zouaves, who were
advancing, had taken 'Hvola without
loss at the point of the bayonet. Carl
baldi's force did not know this and were
marching towards the same point.
When they arrived at MetOna they were
surrounded by seven battaiions of the
Papal troops, supported by twelve guns,
who attacked them in front and on both
TANKS. The battle ground was among
hills, with country road running on
both sides. The lighting continued
fiercely for over an hour. In the hottest
moment of the engagement Carl
baldi had to be dragged away from
the battle. His troops suffered
much loss and retreated towards Monte
Rotondo, pursued by the soldiers Of the
Pope. Here tie fight was resumed and
continued for over two hours, when the
-Garibaldian retreat became an utter
route. 1t is believed here that General
Garibaldi had 900 men killed, 1000 pris-
Oners and great many wounded. Me
mott Garibaldi was wounded slightly i'll
the leg. The loss Of the Papal troops
was not so heavy. When the retreating
Garibaldians arrived at the Italian from
tier they gave up their arms, except the
weapons which were their own private
property, to the Italian regular troops.
Garibaldi left this morning by u spe-
cial railroad train for Florence. He
made no parting address, and looked
old, haggard aud disappointed.
The revolutionary and Instruction
airy movement is breaking down all
over the territory. There were no
French engaged in the fight, with the
exception of few who went in as vol
unteers, although some of the Garibal-
dams, deceived by the resemblance of
the uniform Of the Papal soldiers to that
worn in some of the French regiments
of the line. say they were beaten by
French soldiers.
The Italian troops stationed on the
frontier behaved with great judgment
in the emergency.
Many of the wounded Garibaldians
are here. Some few are at Monte Ron
tonGo.
TERNA, November 4.-Hundreds Of
wounded men are arriving here from
the scene of the late engagement be-
tween the Garibaldians and the Papal
troops. They all come by special rail
way trains. The Italian regulars act in
o kindly manner, assisting in carrying
them from the station to where they are
laid, and weeping like women Oh be-
holding the sad spectacle. Father
Gavazzi has charge of the hospital.
Garibaldi passed through here this
morning OH his way to Florence. The
Italian officers told him he must 60 to
Spezzia. Garibaldi said he would not
resist the officers, but that he would
not go willingly. The Italian soldiers
then stepped forward ana lifted him
into the coach. His sons would not go
with him.
VERONA, November 5.-Tho English
and Embassy here have re-
quested Victor Emanuel to treat Carl
baldi lcnieutly.
1t is said that there will be no COLI
sion between the French and Italian
forces.
Italy is quiet.
There are rumors afloat here to the
effect that Garibaldps miad is affected.
