ROMAN STATES.—The capitulation of Ancona,
only known in Paris on the 25th inst., is thus an-
nounced in the Nolan Gazette: "A despatch from
NI ir,hal Wimpffi n, doted before Ancona, 19•11 inst.,
s'atts th.t the general bombarament of the f irtreis
of Anetna on the 16th and 17th was continued
during the night, and followed by the ac eptation of
, the surrender intunattd by the Austrian general; in
constquenre of which a captulation was concluded
on the 18th, the chief articles of which are: 1. A
political amnesty to the inhabitants. 2. Toe disband-
ing of the garrison, and the occupation of the forts
and the port be the imperial troops. This occupation
did, in fact, take place on the 19th."
The news from Rome is ro later than that already
received; but it appears that though the French bed,
according to the latest accounts, cccupied the wall in
which they bad made a breach, they are yet in reality
but lad,r advanced in the actual preasesion of Rome.
The f 'Rowing, obtained by our Turin corrrespern-
dent from an official source, although anterior in date
to news already published, is worthy of perusal :
Valli Santucci, near Rome, June 16'h, 8 a.m.
Yes'crday pawed off very quietly : nothing ve-y
important to inform you of. The attack of Ponte
Mi Ile was made by the Rumors with about 1,800 or
2,000 men, supported by a single piece of artillery.
Our brave soldiers did not recoil an inch, but main-
tained their positiors ; it was the enemy that put an
end to the engagement by retreating, and one of
their commanders asked us for a truce to bury their
dead, which amounted to between 50 and 60.
General Guesawiller thinks that this night will pass
over like the day, in perfect quiet. To sum up all, every-
thing goes on well. The vaunting, of the Romans
continue, of course; but we pay no attention to them.
The following order of the day has just been pub-
lished, and I hasten to send you a copy :

Villa Santucci, 17th June, head-quarters of the
French army.
OREM= ORDER.
The army has already been informed that more than a
*insight since Monte Mario and Fonts Molls (a bridge ever
the Tiber) fell into our handl, The latter position, which
menses the oomnitnicatinns between the 4fferent corps of
oar army on both sides of the • Tiber, has great impor-
tance.
The enemy bad the hardihood, the day before yesterday,
to dispute with us the oceepation of this position. With
this intention they attempted a sally from the city, and
placed in position, on the heights of Monte Pariah, several
g=itartillery, and advsseed upon Pouts Molle. Gen.
er, with the Leuven brigade, composed of the 13th
tvginwat of the line, and of the 13th Light Infantry, ad-
vanced undauntedly against tl.e enemy, ordered the attack
by dices two regiments with fixed bayonets, and drove them
bash upon their artillery. Six officers, one of whom was
side•de-amp of the general-in•chief of the Roman army,
and 40 nomeoinsaissioned officers and soldiers, were made
Inhumes& la* 100 dead were left on the field of battle.
La the dglt busmen the 16th and 17th instant, General
Onseserfthe, determined to dislodge the enemy completely
frai theft positions, ascended and crowned with hi troops
all the WOO of Moati Foxier% but they had just been aban-
doned by the enemy, and only a few of their men were our-
vetoed and made Fiona". Our troops ware then directed
to take +* position within the walls of the Villa Bor.
phase, is whisk they bend a few of the enemy's soldiers who
had takes Mtge there.
The result el the above successful engagement and move-
ment, which gives to our troops entire liberty of action on
the Upper Tiber, does honour to the troops that ter,k part ia
them, and will contribute is an important degree to the (or-
dinate issue of a carn oaign already so glorious.

SARDINIA.—The Constitutionnel pretends that
the peace negotiations between Sardinia and the
Austrian government is again at a stand-still, u the
latter has again increased its demand relative to the
indemnity.
