FLORENCE, Nov. 3.-Evening.-Dnr
the past few days General Garibaldi con-
centrated his forces around his former
position at Monte Rotondo yesterday
afternoon Signori Corte Crispi and Sevar-
dent, supporters of his cause, and formerly
a deputation from the Revolutionary So
eiety, begged him to withdraw, as the
Italian troops had crossed the frontier.
Garibaldi refused, saying he did not value
his life in such cause, and that soldier
ought not to count the number of his
enemies. Signer Corte replied, General
should. The depntstion then left the
camp. This morning Garibaldi, with
about three thousand Of his command, hav-
ing two guns, moved for Tivoli, to join
Nicotera, one of his officers, and in the
meantime the Papal Zouaves, who were
advancing, had taken Tivoli, without noise,
at the point of the bayonet. GaribaldIs
force did not know this, and were march
| ing toward the same point. When they
| arrived at Metona they we're surprised by
seven battalions of the Papal army, sup
ported by twelve guns, who attacked them
| in front and on both hanks. The battle-
| ground was among the hills, with coun-
| try road running on both sides. The fight
| ing continued fercely for over an hour. In
| the hottest moment Of the engagement,
| Garibaldi had to be dragged away from
| the battle. His troops suffered much loss,
and reireated toward Monte Rotondo, pur-
| sued by the soldiers of the Pope. Here the
Il q l. IL fxr-n
| hours, when the Garibaldian retreat be-
came an utter rout.
IL is believed here that Gen. Garibaldi
had 900 men killed, 1000 prisoners, and a
great many wounded. Menotti Garibaldi
was wounded slightly in the leg. The loss
of the Papal force was not so heavy. Ar
irving at the Italian frontier, the retreating
Garibaldians gave up their arms, except
weapons which were their own property, to
the Italian regular troops.
Garibaldi left this morning by special
railroad train for Florence. He made nc
parting address, and looked old, haggard
and disappointed The revolutionary and
insurrectionary movement is broken down
| ali over the territory. There were nc
French engaged in theAfght, with the ex'
ception of few who went in as volunteers
although some of the Garibaldians, deceived
by the resemblance Of the uniform OF the
Papal soldiers to that worn in some OF this
French regiments of the line, say they wer'
beaten by French soldiers. The ltaliaI
troops stationed on the frontier behaved
with great Judgment in the emergency
Many of the wounded Garibaldians are here
and some few at Monte Rotondo.
