THE ITALIAN VICTORY.

[To THE EDITOR or THE " SPECTATOR."] Saa,—May correct a small error in the paragraph on the Italian victory in the Spectator of November 9th? The number of the Austro-Hungarian divisions given in the official communique of General Diaz, November 4th (which is to be carved in marble on the Capitol), is seventy-three, not sixty-three, against fifty-one Italian and six Allied divisions and one regiment of Americans- i.e., fifty-seven against seventy-three, not fifty-seven against sixty- three. You, Sir, wrote so generously of our victory as " one of the most overwhelming triumphs recorded in the history of war'' that I feel sure you would not knowingly take away even one leaf from thecrown of victory.—I am, Sir, &c., E.
