Lamoriciere advanced against Cialdini with his motley troops, but was quickly defeated, and on the following day was besieged in the fortress of Ancona. On the 29th he and the garrison surrendered as prisoners of war. On the 9th of October Victor Emmanuel arrived and took command. There was no longer a papal army to oppose him, and the march southward proceeded without a check.
In a sitting in the French Assembly, a member of the opposition said to the President of the Council: 'You are going to reinstate the Pope! 'No, no, ejaculated Odilon Barrot. 'You are going to do the same as Austria, cried Lamoricière. 'We should be culpable if we did, was the answer. Lesseps' instructions, very vague, for the rest, were given to him in this spirit.
These arrests were not pleasant tasks for the Commissaries of Police. They were made to drink down their shame in large draughts. Cavaignac, Leflô, Changarnier, Bedeau, and Lamoricière did not spare them any more than Charras did. As he was leaving, General Cavaignac took some money with him.
He exclaimed, "I am dishonored. There will be barricades, and my sash will not be there!" "Yes," said his brother. "It will be there!" "How?" "Lend it to me." "Take it." Denis took Gaston's sash, and went away. We shall see Denis Dussoubs later on. Lamoricière on the same morning found means to convey to me by Madame de Courbonne the following information. " Fortress of Ham.
On December 25th the Algerian hero embarked with his family and followers in a French frigate for Toulon. He had seen the last of his native land. Lamoricière accompanied him on board and supplemented his poor resources with a present of four thousand francs, receiving Abd-el-Kader's sword in return.
The garrisons of Perugia and Spoleto were compelled to surrender, and Lamoricière found his communications cut off, so that he could only reach the last fortress in the power of the Papal troops, Ancona, by fighting his way through Cialdini's division, which by rapid marches had reached the heights of Castelfidardo.
At the bottom of the room was the bed, and between the windows a table and two straw-bottomed chairs. The damp ran down the walls. When General Lamoricière left this room he carried away rheumatism with him; M. de Haussez went out crippled.
I thought when I received this communication that the Commandant Baudot, "the jailer," had connived at its rapid transmission. A sign of the instability of the central power. Lamoricière, by the same means, put me in possession of some details concerning his arrest and that of his fellow-generals. These details complete those which I have already given.
At the same time they voted two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the year's subsidy to the theatres of Paris for the amusement of themselves and their constituents. Algeria proved a valuable school for soldiers; there Lamoricière, Changarnier, Cavaignac, Saint-Arnaud, Pélissier, and Bugeaud had their military education.
The tomb of General Lamoricière at Nantes has remained until recently one of the very finest achievements of sculpture in modern times. There is in effect nothing markedly superior in the Cathedral of St. Denis, which is a great deal to say much more, indeed, than the glories of the Italian Renaissance, which lead us out of mere momentum to forget the French, permit one to appreciate.
