FLORENCE, October 30.-Garibaldi's
camp was at Castle Guibilers, five miles
distant from Rome, Wednesday morn
ing. He had under his command 5000
soldiers The men are all well armed
and have plenty of provisions. The
General has no artillery except two
brass guns taken from the Papals dur
ing the fight at Monte Rondo. They
have no tents. There is very little dis
cipline maintained and the rear is I'M
guarded. Garibaldfs headquarters are
in full view of Rome. There are no
Papal troops between us and Rome.
The soldiers of the Pope, who have been
gradually and steadily falling back for
some days past, have retreated within
the line of the Notifications of the city.
Before their retirement from the field
they burned all the bridges over the
river. The Roman peasants residing in
the neighborhOOd of the contending
forces take no interest. at least evince
none, in the progress of affairs. They
are engaged at the plough and tending
their tiocks in the plain just as usual.
GaribaldTS men do not interfere with
them.
Eight men of the Garibaldian family
are to be shot tomorrow by sentence of
q court-martial, having been convicted
of thieving at Monte RondO.

siastic in their hopes rs to the result OF
the movement OH Rome, but the wealth

to occupy Monte Mario Immediately.
Two thousand Papal troops, well Off
cered and handled in the field, could de-
stroy Garibaldis force by assault on the
rear of his position. The members Of
