that the French were in the fight been correct;
but this error, circulated by fellows who ran
away at the beginning of the combat, was soon
corrected by those who had been near enough
to see the Papal troops. Some of the French
army may have volunteered: some of the Papal
uniforms resemble those of the French, and
some Garibaldians declare that they could hear
the quick repeating fire of the CnessePot rifle;
but after consulting the best authorities here,
am justified in asserting that there was not
French regiment or company on the field.
Garibaldi was conveyed away from CoTese by
a special train last night His personal friends
and his two SONS accompanied him. Nobody

aged. In one day he seems eighty years old,
and they think that his mind is affected. There
are not one thousand 6 Garibaldians left to accom-
paDy him anywhere. Except the small force
with Acerbi, near Viterbo (which will retreat at
once), not one is left on Papal soil, unless as
prisoner or dead man. The invasion is over;
the Papal victory is final.

The Wounded and the Effect.
TERM, Nov. 5.-This little old town has now
been transformed into Garbaldian hospital

Monte ROtondo are being brought up in special
trains from Corese, and the footsore aud weary
heroes who come tramping in from over the
hills, require care and attention almost as much.

lecturer in England and America several years
ago, is here in charge OF the hospitals, Mrs.
Chambers is expected hourly. The authorities
of the town have done everything in their power
to furnish proper accommodations and proYi-

The scenes at the station on the arrival of the
trains of wounded are heartrending. Weeping
women, waiting for their sons husbands, bro
thers, and fathers, fill the air with their cries
when their loved ones are lifted out of the cars,
or when they do not appear among the poor,
wan faces, and again the harro wing thought
returns that perhaps they may be dead.

To-day the news has been received that Acerbi

leaves not single Garibaldian in the Papal
States. 1t is reported that, before leaving,
Acerbi sacked the the treasury chest of Viterbo,
and levied contribution upon the town in the
name of the Provisional Government OF the
Roman Republic. If this be true, and every
body seems to believe it, at least one of the
Garibaldians has adopted the policy formerly in
vogue in Mexico, and has managed to make a
q little money out of his campaign.
