On the 31st of July AFFAIRS stood much the same
as the day BEFORE except that the enthusiasm OF
the volunteers had risen higher, owing TO various
successes which they had gained during the day.
Pazas troop OF cavalry had ridden out protecting
body OF artillerymen, who had . cannon with them,
when, just as they had got 1t In position, an am
pushed party OF civil guards and carblneers opened
fire on them and then made dash for the cannon;
but Plaza's cavalry, being veterans, charged into
them and dispersed them, rescung the cannon,
but not, however, without considerable loss to
both sides. Caval0tti. also tenor singer at the

preparing heroic defence for the purpose Of con-
solidating securely and defnitively the autonomy
OF the states within the orbit OF the republican
federation. In 1859 we combated the monarchy,

AUGUST 2.-Here follows a manifesto which, after
the battle OF the last two days, gives an insight
into the cause OF the enthusiasm, which is EVIL
IDENTITY growing each hOur:-
Federal volunteers Hear the voice Of the Junta
in this supreme moment. The enemy, aware, of
his impotence to conquer by ordinary means, ap.
peas to the barbarous force OF bombs.
So the consular corps informs US. Nobody has
conveyed such an iRtlmation direct. The laws Of
war sanction no such proceeding. But those who
are evil seldom attend to the voice Of honor and
conscience
However, the enemys artillery will not be per.
mitted to occupy positions for the purpose OF bom
bardment. Our cannon have already destroyed
their trenches which the soldiers raised and have
destroyed their best mortars.
For the first time in the history of the world a
government Ia found prepared to lombard q popu-
laton in the name OF the same principles the in
surrectionists profess. This Is O proof that the
conduct OF the government Is that Of refined n.y.
pocrisy and cruelty
However, and whatever they may do, we shall
triumph Our cowordly enemies are already short
OF proiectes to lombard us; our fortifcatons
are extremely Formidable; our resources Of war
are extraordinary; the vaor and enthusiasm OF
