Chapter l8. intltoled. “An Act to authorise the Govern. ment to raise a loan of money for the Public Services of this Island.” on well as to discharge already caisllng liabilities and engagements incurred. either for the same purpose. and under the name Act. or for the gen-

eral Public Service of Prince Edward Island. it has tiuii.

been deemed advisable to authorise the Government to mine a Loan. either In Great Britain or elsewhere. or in Prince Edward Island. to an amount not exceeding £i0il,000 Sterling. under certain restrictions and regu- lnliuiis specified in the Act. Experience has proved that it is difficult. without causing public iiieuiivcnicnce. in make any extensive cash [NUIIWIIIS out of local funds purchased where the amount has to be remitted abroad.

This has beeli lclt in the clue of the purchase of what in known as the " Cunard Estate.“ embracing an area of 312.85.} acres, acquired ill the year it'ltiti. at a cost of £79,500 current-y. equiva- lvnt to 553.000 Sterling money of Great Britain. fly the terms of" the purchase. £5.00.)

The residue of the purchase money (526.500 Sterling) has to be paid in ten (10) yearn from the time of purchase. and meantime bears interest at the rate of ﬁve per cent. per annuni. payable half- yearly. The present Act. has for part of its object. the raisin in London. or elsewhere out. of Prince Edward Islan . of the future installments which have yet to be paid on the purchase of the “Cunard Estute;“ and. also. the replacement in Prince Edward Island of such amounts as may already. or before any loan can be effected under it shall. have been paid for that purpose.

Another object. in to enable the Gorernmetit having appciiis that the Jury will be largely composed of b

cash to offer to deal on more advantage-c us terms than perhaps the otherwise could do with any other Pro- prietors of mods who may be disposed trout time to time to sell their property to the Government under the provisions of the Lard 'llrcliasc Bill. it is the lnten~ titm of the Government. if successful in raisin funds abroad under this Act. to apply to such other roprie- torn and ascertain the terms upon which they are will~ ing to sell their Lands. It is not contemplated, in the first instance. to attempt to raise. at the most. more than one-half of the Loan authorized; and the Govern. msnt can. if this can be raised on advantageous terms. find at once proﬁtable occupation for that amount by discharging a portion of the already existing Public Treasury Varrantn or obligations of the Government oi thin Island.

As to whether the residue of the Loan will. or will not be raised. or attempted to be raised. will depend upon future circumstances; and it probably will not he done unless opportunities hereafter offer of acquiring more lands an advantageous terms.

Whilst the principal and immediate object of the Act in to raise money abroad. leave is null given by its pro- visions to rain the required amount in the Island; but it. is understood that the latter course is not to be adopted unless the negotiations for raising it abroad should not prove successful.

The Act suthOrizes the appointment of Agents abroad to negotiate a Loan, and authorises them to issue Bonds and Debentures bearing a rate of interest not exceeding six per cent. per annuni. which are to be disposed of at the ighest price the money market will permit at the time. The annual interest is to be re- mitted to meet the payments in that resptrt required; and where the money in raised in Great Britain. or elsewhere out of Prince Edward Island. the Debentures are made redeemable in tweiitv yearn. an it has been thought that inrtien in Great Britain. willing to advance money. wool not probably be disposed to do no if the Debentures were made payable in any shorter time. A ninkin fund of ﬁve per cent. per annulu is required by the Bill. to be provtded so an to accumulate a nulli- cicnt amount by yenrly accumulations to pay off the Loan at the time at which the Act mskcs the Debentures redeemable. In cane it should become necessary to raise the Loan in Prince Edward Island. the Debenture- are to be payable in ten (10) years. as parties there will probably not object to lend for that short time.

The Public Funds. Monies and Securities of Princv Edward Island are expressly pledged for the redemption 1f the Debentures or Bonds to be issued under this

Tun details of the battle of Monte ltotondo. as given in the New York papers. show that it was won without the aid of the French troops. 0n the morning of the 4th. Garibaldi. with a large force under his command. and several guns. moved from Tivoli toonn Nicolera. one of his oflleorn. In the meantime. the Papal Zouavcn. who were advancing, and not by any means dilatory of action. had taken Tivoli without noise at the paint of the bayonet. Garibaldi's force did not know this. and were marching along towards the same point. singing national airs. When they ar- l‘th‘tl at Melanin. they were surprised by seven battalions of the Papal army. supported by twelve guns. who at. tacked them in front and on both flanks. The battle groiind was among hills with a country road running The fighting was continued ﬁercely for over an hour. In the hottest moment. of the engage- niont. Garibaldi had to be dragged away from the battle. “is troops suffered much loss. and retreated towitrdn Monte Itolondo. pursued by the soldiers of the Pope. Here the fight. was renewed. and continued over two hours. when the Garibaldian retreat became an utter rout. It is believed that General Garibal- di had nine hundred men killed and one thousand made prisoners. and a great many wounded. Mcnctti Gari- baldi was wounded slightly in the leg. The loss of the Papal force was not so heavy.

“ Arrived at the Italian frontier. the retreating Gari- baldinne gave up all their arms, exec it weapons which weic their own private property. to die Italiun regular troops stationed on the line.

“ General Garibaldi left. Correne by a special railroad train for Florence. He made no parting address. and looked ‘old. haggard and disappointed) The revolu- tionary and iiiaurrcctionary movement. in broken down all over the territory.

“ There were no French engaged in the fights. with the exception of a few who went in as volunteers. al- though some of the Garibaldinnn. deceived by the re- nemhlnnce of the uniform of the Papal soldiers to that worn in some of the French regiments of the line. any they were beaten by French soldiers."

A despatch from Terni. on the afternoon of the 4th. says:—

“ Hundreds of wounded men are arriving here from the scene of the late engageiiil-ntn between the Gari~ beldians iiud the Pit nl troops. They are conveyed by The Italian regulars act in a very kindly manner to all. assisting in carrying them from the station to where the are laid. weeping like women on beholding the lit spectacle.

Another correspondent at Cantolopo. name date, says that the road between the front and Correse is ﬁlled with Garibaldisn Volunteers returning towards Italy. They are all unarmed. Their defeat by the Papal soldiers is complete. ﬁnal. It is said that some of their best men have been killed.

This in the account which the revolutionary paper! and the enemies of the Pope give of the late fights. and of the state of affairs in the Papal territory; but from more reliable sources. we learn that the whole lleman population are loyal to a man to the Holy Father. In the Provmcon. the inhabitants desire to be armed on mm to resist the invaders who are looked upon in the same light as the Feniann were by the Canadlnns. The invasion of the Gnribnldians hon brought out the qualities of tho Pontiﬁcal troops. and their deeds in the lights of Monte Rotondo and Ilsgnorea will show to the world how well they deserve the character which those who knew them best knew they ponun'ned—that of brave heroes. The Unite Cauoli'ca gives the follow- ing interesting particulars of the fighting qualities of the Pontiﬁcal troops. and of the feelings of the Roman population with regard to the invasion: "In eight. days. jn ten different engagements of more or lens import- ance. the Papal troops came off victorious. and secured in all three hundred prisoners. and killed or wounded about one hundred of the enemy. Our troops lost alto- gether only twice men. The fact thnt not one Papal soldier was killed in the assault of Bagooroa has some- thing miraculous about it. The health of the troops in

(Long live the Pontiff King; Long live the conqueror of Bngnorca.) But we have another proof of the foelina of the Romans on the point of loyalty to their sowereign. hatred for the machinations of his enemies. and admiration for the brave and gallant conduct of his tioepe. Two days after the battle of Ba noroa. an address was adopted in Rome slid sent to t 0 portion of“ the army in the province of Vitorbo.”

With this nm'rit animating the people. backed by the moral and material support of the Catholic wprld. and resting upon the eternal principles of truth and juvtice. little apprehension need be entertained for the tempor- al power of the Pope.
