In consequence of the battle of Castle-l fidardo, gained on the l8tb by Lieu-t-Gen. Cialdini, and of the measures which he took in the following night, a body of more than 45000 men, chiefly foreigners, with more than 50 officers, the guides of Gen. Lamoricierc, six guns, with ammuni- tion and baggage, ycapitulsted on the 19th, and came to Loreto to lay down their arms to Buonati. Gen. .Cialdini, interrupting the generous intentions of his M ajissty, has conceded the honors of war to this corps, and officers and men are allowed to return to their re- spective homes. Gen. Lanioriciere, accompanied by a feiv horsemen, fled‘froni the fiL-ld of battle on the 18th, and, followingthe road by the sea through the defiles of Conero, stic- ceeded in reaching Anemia. All the pri- soners and troops that have capitulated are indignant at his conduct. Nothing re- mains of Lamoriciere’s army exrept the trOOps shut up in Ancona; all the rest are in the hands of the rcpal troops, with the exception of 2,000 men dispersed in the mOuntains. ‘ The 'I urin journals publish Gen. Cial~ dini’s report of the battle of Castelfidardo, addressed to Gen. Cucchiari’ at Bologna It is as follows .‘â€" ’ Oero, Sept. 19.-â€"â€"Gen. Lamoricere attacked my extreme positions at 10 o‘clock, on the junction point between Castelfidardo and Crocetta, leading to- wards the sea. All the prisoners affirm that he had 11,000 men and 144 pieces of artillery, having anded to the troops of l’ol’gno all those of Terni. Oscali: and other places. To support the attack 4,000 men made a sortie from Ancons. These troops attacked us with great fury ; the combat was short, but sanguin- ary ; it was necessasy to carry every point. Many of the wounded used their daggers against our men who went to snccour them. The results of the day are the follow- ing :â€"â€"â€"Thejnnction of Lamoriciere’s force with Ancona has been prevented ; we have taken 600 prisoners, among whom are more than 30 officers, some of them of high rank ; We have taken six guns, among others thuse given by Charles Albert to the Pope in 1848, one standard and nu-‘ merous aminu ition wagons, Ste. All the wounded, including Gen. Pimodan, who led-the attacking column, are in our hands, and a great number of killed. The column which made a sortie from Ancona wasobliged to fallback, but 1 hope to catch some of them to-night. The fleet. has arrived and has opened fire against Ancona. CIALDINI. . The Patricpublislics the following ac- count of the battle before Ancona: Gen. Lamoricrerc, who commanded the First Corps, was joined at Macerata on the morning of the 19th, by General Pim- odan. He decided that 'on the morrow he would attack the Piedmontese lines, which intercepted his route, and throw himself and army into Ancona. The attack was made on the morning of the lStli,‘when a terrible combat cnâ€" sued. The two armies showed equal courage, anduboth sides suffered consider- able loss. ' The Piedmontese lines were formidably plaCed, and the Pontific al troops could not force them. Three times they at- tacked the positibn, and three times they were driven back. On the third attack Geii?‘PiniOd£m"wa§ 'hit in two or three places, and carried away dying. Gen. Lamoriciere, at the head of a small column, succeeded in traversing the enemies army, gained the mountains. and entered Ancona. Gen Pimodan died from his wounds in the night between the 18th and 19th. The town'of Ancona, despite the cour- age of General Lamoriciere and his little army, being invested by land and Sea, is inevitably lost. it is said that the Sar- dinian army, which has just obtained a de- cided advantage, intends, with a view to sparing the Citizens of Ancona, to keep up a strict blockade, and oblige the gar- rison to surrender. The. Perseveranza, of Turin, announ- ces that the Sardinian Government has offered to the English Government to Set all the lrish prisoners at liberty. The latter is saidto have sent a courteous re- ply, leaving itentirely to the Sardinian Government to take such resolutions as it might deem most suitable. The Sardiiiian Government has ordered the release of all Frenchmen taken pris- oners from LamOriciere. ‘ ' ' A Turin letter dated the 21st ult. says i -' A report is current that Lamoriciere wdl surrender Ancona. The defence does not seem possible. According to the cal- culation_offilii_s own friends, the garrison numbers at tile outside 7,000 men. Pro- bany 4,000 is nearer the mark. Turin has celebrated the victory of Cialdini in a brilliant manner. The King came in from ltacconigi to attend the solemnity.” A Turin letter, dated the 23nd ult., sayszâ€" ‘ ' We have little news to-day from the actual seal of war. The operations are confined to the siege of Ancona. it is now said that M. Quatrebarbes and Gen. Lamoriciere intend to make a desperate resistance. ()ur loss at' Costelfidardo amounts to. 1.000 killed and wounded ‘; fifteen officers were placed liars dc combat, ' three of them superior officers.” The Constitutionnel publi~hes the fol- lowing in prominent type ::,â€"â€" “ All eyes, are now turned: towards the Citadel~ cf Anemiaâ€"fin fact, it is there thattli‘e-linal and decisive struggle must The issue of the struggle most soon take place, if our information is correct. It is announced that the siege batteries .of Gen. Cialdini have made a breach in the southside of the walls of the town, and that consequently the assault will be givenzvery soon. This news bears date the 22nd. of September. The fire was "opened on the 18th, against the; fortress by six frigateSâ€"thc Marie Adelaide, the Victor Emanuel, the Carlo Alberto, the San Michele, the Governolr and the Costituzione‘.

The advices from Turin do not mention the openingbf awbreach, but simply announces that the siege 'artillery had been landed before Ancona. THE SICILIAN REVOLUTION. Tin: 'DECisr'vr.

The King of Naples, according tofithe correspondence of the Paris Debuts, is inja much stronger; position than was generally supposed, and has fully made up" his mind to make a bold effect to retrieve his for- tunes. Tbe following proclamation to THE him to Gaeta was issued on the 8th iâ€" 'Soldiers.â€"â€"It is time that you should hear in your ranks the voice of your sovereign, who has grown up in the midst ofyou, and who, after devoting to you all his attention, has come to, share your dau- gcis and your misfortunes.

I nowcome to make an appeal to your honor, to your loyalty and to your- reason, that you may face the shame of cowardice and the infamy of treason by a sericsof glorious combats and noble enterprise. Our numbers are still sufficient to meet the enemy who uses 'no other weapons than thbse of seduction and deceit. Hitherto I have been anxious to spare many towns, and especially the capiâ€" tal, the shedding of blood and the horrors of war; but having now retired to the banks of the Vulturon and the Garigliano, shall we add further humiliations to our condition as soldiers?

An old, able and independent publid. servant, has been defeated by a political babe, who heads the poll by a majority Of 721. ‘ Such is," the plain naked truth ; but although defeated we need not despair.\ Our cause is the cause of truth. and will ultimately, despite adversities, triumph. We believe, that a disSolutiop of the Union would be a Provincial cala- mity; and therefore we worked hard to secure the triumph of Mr. Gamble during thelshort time that elapsed frOm the Nomination day to thePol‘ling-‘days; hand as many a general has learned from defeat. lessons that cori‘d‘uoed to' f'thure :vic’i‘ tories, so may this defeat which the Co‘hSIituti'O'nal “party has sustained," caused "it ‘ wisely improved. future conquests; for although beaten in the sti‘ifé’,“fl‘iere is Still much to en- courage us; . H in thefirst place, this election proves thatDavid Reesor and his Disnnion principles are not popular; for although lie,is elected by so large a majority, still he did not re- ceive more than one-fifth of the Votes. The total number polled by him- being 1724, whilst in the Di- vision tliereare nearly 9,000 vot- ers. Who, after this, will pretend to say that King’s Division is in favor of George Brown’s grand scheme? when they would not more liberally support his faithful de- sciple. Mr. Reesor himselfboasted that he would be elected by 2000 majority, whilst the fact is that he didnot get that number of votes; and even in his own tofv‘vnship, out of 1100 votes;,all he polled was 415’. To argue annulus that King’s Di? vision wants a dissolution. shows ‘take place, of which the battle of Cas- either the madman or the . fool.â€" telfidardo was the prelude, between Gen. Lamoricierc and the Picdmontesc fore s. l B ut there is yet another question, and that is, if Mr. Recsor's Votes those of his soldierswlio' had followed' 'perior we all press round our standards to defend our rights, were so ‘re’w‘; how-"is it that-Mr. Gamble, who is‘iei’np‘hatically for the Union, polled; fewer'f; votes stillf, when it is spll further remem- bered that- for‘ ability! .Sand‘rtl-iomugh honesty of [iurpose,.l\lr.

It would be an insult to Mr; Gamble for a moment to 'comparehis sue-3 cessful opponent with him. On the one side are hairs grO'wn grey int-he public service ; and the gentleman whomAlley-adorn, although some- what erratic, has always voted eon- scientiously, and ..h.‘as done, much service. to the Province.

By these men he was urged to fact‘ sh‘abbily to the Markham Convention, and set aside its decision ; indeed Mr. Gamble himself stated that these friends had represented to him that he Would sweep Etobico’ké,‘ and. have large. niajoritiesx'm Vaughan and Scarboro’. He will now know what'v'alue to"‘set upon’tlies'e‘ had friends " assurances. We told him he was too late,-aud could not be elected,,_a_nd the result has proved that we were right. -Mr. Perry re- ceived a unanimous vote in Mark- ham Village; he alsocanvassed with great ability and «untiring energy King’s Division. When he received the nomination, every- thing looked gloomy, but by his suâ€" abilities and energy, he turned the scales, and everywhere the prospect of success increased; and after all this was done by Mr. Perry. Mr. Ga'nble’s friends very unfairly compelled him. (Mr. Perry) to retire from the field. under a mistakennotion that they could re- turn Mr. Gamble. Tothis cause Mr. Gamble-owes a humiliating defeat; and what much worse, he contributed to tlie'suc'cess of a party we well know be thoroughly abho'rs ;‘.for we found it utterly im- possible to get Mr. Perry's friends to vote for Mr. Gamble. - They felt, and justly, that Mr, Perry had been hardly dealtqby, and stayed at ’home,-some of them out of revenge voting 'even for". Mr.f_tthsor.- ' - As no the complaint ,ol'gthe, Mo- derate Convention being packed, .yve do not believe it. “We shall need much better evidence than the assertions of these Who so falsely led Mr. Gamble‘into anunequal and ruinous contest, and complete- ly destroyed every chanceiof suc- Cess. There “can‘ be no" doubt whatever that the Moderate party owes its defeat to the dogged ob- .stinacyfl Of Mr. Gamblc',s_ friends, who, in spite of every. argument and remonstrance, persisted in the determination to go; to the polls.â€" On them rests the responsibility of electing a disunionist to represent King’s DiviSion. As to the remarks that have been made derogatory to Mr. Perry, we state without fear of contradiction, that no" gentleman could behave in a more fair or hon- orable manner than he has. No 'man could work more, faithfully to secure the election, and what is still more, he said to his. friends, on the'evening Of the nomination, that if they wished him ¢stillito run he would.“ continue in the field, even against Mr. Gamble; he left him self entirely in their bands-«they ad- vised him to retire, not because they thought him a Weaker man than Mr. Gamble, (quite the reverse was the case), butlbe’cause as Mr. Gamble was determined to run at all, hazards, it was perfectly useless for him (Mr. Perry) to run. . These are the plain. facts of the case, and we assure Mr. Perry that ,througbthe western part of King’s 'Divisiiin~ he'i'n‘cver had so many warm friends as now... _,\7Vltl1 him, as our cand-idateyyve should have carried the election, Whereas we have now suffered a defeat.

From the Loader of Thursday. r Tin: principal events in the news by the Africa are the capitulation of Ancona, the capture of Lamoriciere, the leader of the Papal troops, who, with all his men, is a prisoner of war, and the resignation of the Cabinet at Naples. The latter implies ppssible quarrel between Garibaldi and th‘v resigned Cabinet, and a certain difficulty .for him. Ancona required for its thorough defence 30,000 troops; but Lemoricicrc pretended to have devised a plan by which 7,000 or 8,000 would answer the purpose ; though this number was afterwards largely exceeded. It was boasted that the place contained: six months’ provisions; but the combined fleets of Sardinia and Naples, together with the land forces by which it was invested, probably cxeeeded. consider-- isny the forces at the disposal oftlie Pope's general. Ancoua warn the strongest place '11] the Papal doiniiiioris ; and nothing but the presence of the French troops at Rome prevents an easy conaplction of the conquest of the States of the Church. Antone is situated on the Adriatic, in the centre of the State of. the same name; and is built on the side of a white liill be~ tween two mountains; the citadel being on that which rises on. the mouth. The population is only 25,000. ’ The combined forces of b'ardinia and Naples. have now repeated the achievement of the French in 1797. The French again occupied the place from 183} to 1838. No other seaport town in the Papal States is carpach of making any serious resistance ; and in a strategical point of view the news we :publish this morning is of the greatest in)" . portancc. S‘incc Lamoricicre has been - taken: prisoner the Pope’s army, lrish'vol- unteer included, is demolished; and his sole dependence is henceforth on foreign assistance, while it is highly improbable that France wiil consent to the admission of any Austrian troops into Rome while she undertakes to guard the eternal city, Another successful blow only is wanting to put an end to the civil power Of the POpe for ever. anoriciere, the captured General of ;the Pope, was born in Breton, France.

THE DUKE XL“) THE ORANGE- A large and enthusiastic meeting 1 was held in the St. Lawrence Hall on Fri y night last», to consider the question between the Duke of Newcastle and the Orangeâ€" men. A resolution was passed unanimously censoring the course the Duke had pursued. both on account of the loyal principles of the Orange body, and on account of their rights according to the law of Canada. Another resolution censured the Canadian ministry for not resigning oflice, when they found they were not to be consulted by the Duke as to the arrangements for the visit of His Royal Highness. As the meeting was composed chiefly of the friends of the ministry, and was non-political, we may say, that the result of such a resignation might have been very embarrassing to all parties, in rendering the l'rince’s visit on- comfortable to himself, and in hastening his return to England. testants may think of the good or bad effects of Orangeism, it is certain that the attitude of Romanism is not less offensive to one party, than Oraegeism is to the other. that the law should not allow Romanism to rule ; the principle of Romanism is that the law should not allow Protestantism to czist.â€"â€"Chnstian Guardian.
