DEPARTURE OF FRENCH TROOPS FROM

ROME FOR THE EAST.

—...noINT OF TIM DAILY Flint.)
ROME, MAnca 12.
Yesterday morning the French garrison in this
city furnished another contingent for the war. The
21st Regiment of Light Infantry, about 1,900 strong,
marched at daybreak for Palo, the half-way station
between Rome and Civita Vecchia, after having halted
upon the Piazza di San Pietro to receive the Pope's
farewell benediction, should his Holiness be disposed
to witness the departure of his faithtul allies at that
early hour from the windows of the Vatican, tke offi-
cers having had an audience for that. purpose last
Monday. The 21st, however, has not tin same
claim upon Pio Nono's gratitude as those regiments
which stormed the walls of the Janiculus, having
been in garrison in the Papal States only
since 1851. The information that they were
ordered to the Crimea was well received
both by the officers and soldiers, with the exception of
a few men whose time of serene had nearly expired.
and who were thus disappointed of the expected "-
turn to theirfoyere. The regiment arrives at Civics
Vecchia to-day, and will await in that town the arri-
val of the transports destined to convey it to the Neat
of war. A battery of artillery is to follow shortly,
and the garrison being tbue rednoed, to one battalion
of infantry at ;Civita Yeah* as three in Rome, it
has been deemed advisable to concentrate the latter
in. the immediate neighbourhood of the Vatican and
the Castle of St. Angels, bet seen which two points
the new general, who is expected to succeed General
de Montreal, will take up. his residence at Primo
Torlonia's Palazzo isßorge.r. Thus the Pope and his
protectors will be is immediate contiguity.
Amongst the artistior.l contributions sent front
Rome to the ParnExhibition is a highly interesting
picture by Mr. Lehmar,n, representing an episode in
the early life of Lamm:tine (as described in his " Con-
fidenoes"), when residing with a family of Neapolitan
fishermen in the isle did of Ischia. The young poet
is translating " Pa' Al and Virginia" to his hosts, is
the visible emotio a of a beautiful young girl, who
forms part of the family, and whose features moonset
finely with the farrowed visage of the old pueolore•
This
picture,
re anarkable for its correct drawing and
Powerful feeli'Ag, will have a double interest, from
containing portrait of so distinguiebed a man as
Lamartine, and is, lam loppy to say, destined to stay
in London after the exhibition, being executed by
Mr. Lehr awn foe an English gentleman. Mr. Mao-
donald's fine marble group of "Ulysses recognised
lahis Dog" 'will also form one of the attractions of
e Irttiation blonds elf the. Paris Exhibition.
