ROMAN STATES.—The following is the des.
patch of which M. Odilloa Barrot communicated the
contents to the legislative assembly, in the sitting of
Tueaddy.
Martellles, July 3, 8 o'clock in the morning.
Curve Vecchia, July 1, 10 o'clock.
M. de Conelles to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
General Chicinot adds iFes to the covert:anent in'illigesce
of the earry.ng of a ne • h Irina, No 8, in the night of the
20th ult. The telegraphic d. 'patch of the general will make
known to pm Um °steels of this affair, which is pettier; deci-
sive. The enemy hosteet a gocd many men and t:eutands to ea-
nitteate. I receive thisinicant frnmO. n Oudinot the following:
On 110th ult. the R owas Coo.titemnt made a decree couched
in these terms —The Awsibly ceases a defence, which has
become impesibk. It charges the Triumvirate with the
execution of the present decree.—At the came time the
Generetia-Chief of the Roman army demanded (at seven
o'clock) a susot wion of heetiliti. a, end announced the depot-
'ore far the French head-quartets of a deputation from the
Roman Municipality.' lam about to start kr bead.quar-
tare, which I lett yesterd.y attention at three o'clock
with Mews. d'ilsreourt and de Rayneral. Not knowing
the roe 'lotions of the Raman authorities, they left for Gaeta
in the morning. I have caused them to be informed by as
advice boat. . .

P.S. I have received Intelligence from brad-quarter
that the general-in-chief has received the Roman munici-
pality, and begs of me to is him. I leave this instant.

The despatches received from M. de Corcelles show
that the Romani had wked to capitulate on the 30th
of ions. Now, seenrding to the latest previous des-
Waste uf General Oudinot, he was still, on the 26th,
preparing his hat cries on the breech of the Julien-
lam. Three of these, furmed to carry guns of heavy
eshbre, were in course of constrnetiun, and one of
them was even fiai hed on the 25th. In sieges
it is usual to unmask several batteries at once, in
order to give an increased vigonr to the fire
by the simultaneous discharge limn each battery.
Tows it is that the guns mounted on the 25 h were
not unmasked. Th.ve we no details of what occurred
between the interval of the 26th to the 30t1 ; but the
Debuts gives the following as the probable course
pursued :
It is probable that the twelve Funs forming the batteries on
the Jar tritium breach were unmasked on the 27th, as soon as
ibt y were all cemplrted, and 'hat they silenced the fire of
the hostile puce on the Aurelian wall end the 11013t0TiO.
On the 28tn a breach was probably wade in the Aurelian
well, which mutt have been occupied by sasault on the sane
oight. Then on the 29th the capital position of the Yon-
tnrio most have he, n attacked and stormed after a vigorous
cannonade. During these operations the work of the
tree chip cannot have been idle, and advances must neces-
sarily have ben m+de. not only from without, but
also hum within, the first wall, to attack the defence
of the Pates, end San Pancrasio gets. These gatts
tieing attacked on firth sidt a at once, cannot but have fallen.
It must have bees und. r these circumstances that the be.

ineged, feeliag the pus.tiun too critical, and unwilling to per-
form the battle of barricades ksde the town, thought of
oo doping. Another p int to consider is, that greet tom
of lib tray have ensued in It.ime itself during the operations
of the 26. h to tha 30. h.
VENICE.—The commissioners named to treat for
peace with Aus'ria, MM. Passini and Papadopolo,
reached Verona on the 22nd ult. to meet M. de
Stuck. A delay has bten fixed upon to allow these
who intend to go to do so.
