[Enclosure D.—Translation.]

Pontifical Zouaves, Command of the Battalion No. 463,
Velletri, November 7, 1866.

General: I have the honor to inform you that the Zouave Watson (John) has been arrested at Veroli, and will be conducted to-morrow morning, under good escort, to Rome.

While they were in search of him at Trisulti, his garrison, he was arrested by Captain de Zambilly at Veroli, where he was on leave.

I have the honor also to inform your excellency that his name is not Waston, but Watson.

I have the honor to be, general, your excellency’s most humble subordinate,

Lieutenant Colonel ALLET.
