Duke Filippo Lante Montefeltro, Colonel in command of a _corps d' armée_ of the Roman Volunteers, occupied and held Treviso, whereby he at once assured the retreat of the Roman army, after its defeat at Cornuda on the 9th of May, 1848, by General Nugent, and prevented the advance of the Austrians upon Venice. The President Manin acknowledged that by his courage and patriotism he had saved Venice, and immediately sent him the commission of a full General. On the 16th of May, General Nugent arrived before Treviso with 16,000 men, and siege artillery. He at once summoned the place to surrender, giving General Lante till noon on the following day for consideration. At four the same evening, Lante sent for reply, "Come this evening. I shall expect you at six. We are here to fight, not to surrender!" After threatening the town for some days, Nugent retired from before it, and joined Radetzky. Duke Bonelli, Captain of Dragoons, was Orderly Officer to General Durando at the capitulation of Vicenza. Prince Bartolomeo Ruspoli served as a _private soldier_ in the Roman Legion; he was one of the three Commissioners who were sent to the camp of Radetzky to treat for the capitulation of Vicenza. Count Antonio Marescotti commanded the 1st Roman regiment of Grenadiers. Count Bandini, son of a Princess Giustiniani, was also Orderly Officer to Durando. Count Pianciani commanded the 3d regiment of Roman Volunteers. Don Ludovico Lante (a younger brother of Filippo) was Captain in the 1st regiment of Roman Volunteers. Adriano Borgia quitted the Pope's _Guardia Nobile_ for a Colonelcy of Dragoons, in the service of the Roman Republic: he was an excellent officer. Marquis Steffanoni commanded a company of young students.--_Transl_. 5: The ordinary British tourist must not look for his portrait in the witty Author's picture.
