VILE continue from the preceding volume our summary of
the Italian struggle and of other events of the year. *
Ferdinand the Second, despite the remonstrance of his
uncle, the Count of Syracuse, resolved to cling to sove-
reignty to the last, but his Ministry resigned, and sought
shelter on board a British man-of-war : his troops deserted him,
shouting “ Viva Garibaldi ! ” In the bitterness of his soul he
exclaimed, “ Then I am abandoned by all! ” and he determined
to leave his capital, which Garibaldi was rapidly approaching.
He issued a proclamation, in which, he declared that he had
not entertained a single thought that was not devoted to the
happiness and good of his subjects, and on the morning of the
6th of September embarked on board a steamer, and sailed to
Gaeta, a strong fortress on the coast, which, with that of
Capua, was ail that now remained to him of his dominions.
Two days afterwards Garibaldi entered Naples with a
few of his staff, having reached it from Salerno by the railway
train ! He came, not at the head of victorious legions with all
the pomp and circumstance of war, but as a first-class pas-
senger in a railway carriage ! He had dethroned the Bourbon
dynasty, and marched from Melito to Naples, with hardly the
loss of a single man since the moment when he first set foot on
the Calabrian shore.
Meantime in the Papal States insurrectionary movements
were taking place everywhere. At Tesaro, in the Marches,
and at Montefeltro, Urbino, and other towns, the inhabitants
rose in revolt, and proclaimed Yictor-Emmanuel as their
King. This happened at the beginning of September.
The Papal Government had made every effort to increase its
army, and recruiting agents had been sent into different
SUMMARY.

countries to procure volunteers. In Ireland a considerable
number of men were collected, who left the island on pretence
of being employed as “navvies” or railway labourers, but
the object of their departure was perfectly well known.
General Lamoriciere was appointed Commander-in-Chief
of the Pontifical army.
General Lamoriciere met with great difficulties. Want
of money.—£20,000 sent by the Pope to Ancona disappeared
nobody seemed to know licw—scarcely any bread could be
obtained for his troops, owing to the oppressive toll which had
been levied by the Government upon the mills. After several
adverse engagements, all more or less important, and in which
the Irish mercenaries were the first to fly, Lamoriciere was
so signally defeated that he abandoned the Held accompanied
only by a few horsemen, and succeeded in reaching Ancona,
whilst the remains of his beaten army retired upon Loretto,
where next day they laid down their arms. Ancona was then
compelled to surrender, and with it there fell into the hands
of the conquerors 154 pieces of artillery, among which were
two field batteries, with all their equipment of chariots, &e.,
and ammunition, 180 horses, 100 oxen, 250,000 miriagrams
of Hour, 25,000 rations of forage, provisions of all kinds, two
steamers, two trabaccoli (coasting vessels), coal stores, clothing,
arms, and 4,125,000 f.
“ The fall of Ancona terminated this short campaign,” writes General
Fanil “ but no less glorious for your Majesty's army. In 18 days we won
the places of Pesaro, Urbino, Perugia, Spoleto, San Leo, and Ancona. There
fell into our hands 28 field-pieces, 160 pieces of wall-artillery, 20,000 muskets,
more than 500 horses, and from 17,000 to 18,000 prisoners, with all the enemy's
generals. ”
