ROMAN STATES. The following appears in
a Roman paper as the official instructions which were
to direct General Oudinot's intervention :
You ere aware that an internal reaction and foreign inter-
vention menses the existence of the republican government
if Rome, which we have not recognised. The government
of Rome, advancing to a crisis now unavoidable, it is our
duty to maintain in the peninsula the legitimate influence of
France, aril to obtain the re-establishment of a regular
order of things, conformable to the interests and rights of
the people. Although you are not to interfere in the defi-
nitive negotiations which will secure that result, you are
authorised to receive any proposition that may prepare
it, avoiding, however, in the form of the agreement,
anything that should imply the recognition of the &tithe
Titled now ruling at Rome. You will find here enclosed
the draft of a letter, which you will address, on your
arrival, to the governor of Civets Vecchia, to demand ad-
' mission. The entrance of the harbour will not certainly be
denied you. According to every probability, you will be
received, on the contrary, with alacrity as a liberator by
acme, and as • useful mediator by others. But if, contrary
to allexpeetations, you are dented admission to Cleat' We-
chit, you must not be deterred from cecupying the town by
a resistance, made in the name of • government which so-
body in Europe has recognised, and which maintains itself
at Home in opposition to the wishesof the immense majesty
of the population. Orme landed on the territory of the do- I
minions of the Church, you will hasten to communicate
with M. d'Harcourt, who is charged with settling, at Gaeta,
the interests of the mission confided to you. You will
tend to Rome one of your officers, to explain "so the
chiefs of the government the nature of your mirsirn.
You will expressly infirm them that you are not come to
support the order of things of which they are the represen-
tatives, and invite them to co-operate in an arrangement
calculated to bring about the desired solution. Your
advance on Rome at the head of the troops may, no
doubt, facilitate en accommodation enempragiog the honest
part of the population. You will judge if circumstances be
such, that you may repair to Rome with a certainty not only
of not encountering any serious resistance, but also of being
sufficiently well received to induce a belief that by entering
Route, you respond to the appeal of the population. Until
this m.ment, when a regular government shall have re-
placed this one, which now preens on the states of the
church, you may, if you deem it expedient, maintain in
office the existing authorities, provided they confine them-
selves to exercise their municipal functions and nowise im-
pede your mission, or re-establish the previous authorities,
avoiding as much as possible to interfere directly in those
changes, and limiting your action to the encouragement and
the eliciting of the wishes of the honest part of the popula-
tion. You may, if you think proper, claim the medium of
the consul of France, established at Civita Vecchia, whom I
plane at your disposal. Such are the instructions I am now
able to give you. Your excellent judgment will suggest
what I have omitted, and, on my side, I wiil not fail to
forward you the suggestions which circumstances may render
neeigeary. I i.ere annex the draft of a proclamation, which
yea will publish immediately after your arrival.
TUSCANY.—Our correspondent writes :
FLORENCE, MAT 20.
You require information on the present state of
Tuscany, bologna, and Venice. Yon may rely on the
following.
In Tuscany the strong pressure of force prevents at
present the expression of opinion ; but aversion to the
, existing goverhment is stronger than it ever was. and
'the excited feelings of the people are compressed but
not softened. The causes of this are plain. The mild
character and government of the Grand Duke had
many friends., but his flight, and desertion of his post
without taking any measures for the governing of the
country in haabsence, threw doubts alike on his
good faith and his affection for his people.
To this must be attributed in a great degree the po-
litical consequences that followed, and the disorders,
not excepting the anarchy at Leghorn. Afterwards,
when circumstances led to a proposal for the return of
the grand duke, just and prudent conduct would soon
have regained for him the affection and confidence of
his people ; but a quite opposite course has been fol-
lowed. Count Sernstori, for many years a colonel in
the Russian service, has been appointed vice-grand
duke. Austrian bayonets were called in to support
him in his violations of the constitution, and many
cruelties perpetrated. Thus are the Tuscans more
than ever alienated from their sovereign ; for here, as
in every
.part of Italy, there is one feeling in which
all parties unite hatred to the Austrian, and
to every foreign domination.
Exactly the same description applies to every part
of the Papal States. but in a stronger degree. There,
also, the flight of the Pope, the abandonment of his
trust, and the harsh refusal to receive the deputies
sent to him from Rome, broke the charm that former
benefits and personal qualities threw around Pins IX.
in the eyes of his people and of the world. In the
Roman States, besides, the relief of a change of go-
vernment was radially more and more felt ; for the
papal government wee incomparably worse than that
of Thscany had ever been; and, therefore, the longer
the absence of the Pope was prolonged, the lees was
the desire of the people for his return u a temporal
sovereign. Personally! what can restore love and
trust in men towards him, who, while he dreaded the

THE SOUTHAMPTON PORTION OP THE INDIA MAIL
arrived yesterday, in the Peninsular Company's steam shin
Ripon, and the mails were landed in charge of Captain
Brady, R.N., Admiral;; agent. Fier dates have been anti-
cipate 1. Amongst the passengtri were Sir H. Maddock,
from Calcutta, and the Hon. Mrs. Pellew and Lord M. But-
ler, from New 8 ,uth Wales. The Ripon brings 216 pack-
ages of specie, in value 70,0901. ; and 77 hales of silk.
A MONTHLY COMMUNICATION LETWEEN SOUTH-
AMPTON, CONSTANTINOPLE, AND THE BLACK SEA, now
exists by means of the Peninsular Company's steamers. The
Sultan steamer was the last ship that left Southampton ;
she left on Tuesdzy. The traffic by these steamers has so
much incrrastd, that there Is always a large quantisy of
goods to be sent by them on their outward voyages for which
room cannot be found. The Peninsular Company, there-
fore, gave no'ice to merchants that if there was a very large
quantity of goods left for shipmeht after the Sultan was full
an extra steamer should be dispatched on the 9th June.
This has not, however, been found necessary ; but there c..n.
not Ist a doubt that in a short time the traffic between
Southampton and Turkey will warrant a steam commur
Ica-
Lion twice a month.

TUE GAME LAWS.—Two or three years ago a far-
mer took a farm near Wedhoathly, and when the game
question was discussed the landl-wd promised the tenant
that he was not to be burdened with it, promising that if he
would take care of the pheasants and hares, the landlord
and his friends would be content with two tr three days'
sport of each season; after which the tenant was to have
the game to himself. The farm lay nearly in the centre of a
preserve, the owner of which looked at it with a jealous eye
and tendered to buy it. Tce owner refused to sell, and the
game preserver then offered to hire the game; but mindful
of his promise, the landlord would not compromise his word
with the tenant. A third course was, however, devised, by
which the owner saved his word and the game preserver
carried his point. The tenant had no lease, and over a
dinner and wine the two gentlemen agreed that the owner
should let the farm to the game preserver, and if the tenant
"kicked" at being turned over, it was an easy matter to
kick him out. The poor tenant was now induccd to submit
to a change of landlord ; and soon to his horror and dismay
he found his acres turned into a preserve, with a host of
gamekeeper and watchers to look after both the game and
him, and trample his corn and grass ; and he had the saodie-
tion of finding that by his sareement the pheasants and par-
tridges, the hares and the rabbits, were the property of his
new landlord.—Brighten Guardian.
ATTACK crow A MAIL GUARD.—Yesterday morn-
ing, about three o'clock, • most savage attack upon the
guard of the mail cart which is despatched at midnight from
Biggleawade to Ware, was male by two men, about two
miles from the town of Stevenage, in Hertfordshire. From
the scoounts of the occurrence which have reached the Post-
office in St. Martin's le-Grand, it appears that at this lonely
plat of the cross-road, Morris, the guard, observed two men
rush up to the cart, the one to the head of the animal he
was driving, and the other to the body of the cart. In an
instant he felt the reigns torn from his hands, while the
ruffian grasped his throat and dragged him out of the
vehicle. He made a desperate effort to free him-
self and regain possession of the mail-cart and its
contents, but the villainy, no doubt anticipating his
object, rushed upon him with redoubled fury, beating him
unmercifully, and endeavouring to rob him ; they tore open
his pockets, without, however, finding any booty. In the
meantime, the horse, finding himself at liberty, rushed for-
ward, and could not be stopped until it had nearly reached
Barnet, where the bags were found quite safe. Some parties
from &distance, having witnessed the flight of the animal by
the moonlight, and fancying that something was wrong, they
went in search of the guard, who was found in a most dis-
abled state neer the spot where the attack was made, the
robbers having previously made off. Abaut four months
ago, an attack was made upon • mail.guard not far from the
same spot. Every exertion is being made by the authorities
to trace the villains.
A BOY KILLED EY ANOTHER NEAR ARBROATH.-

lh Saturday last, ass coal-hawker was delivering some coals
to a family residing at Friockbeim, a boy threw a stone at
his horse, which, being observed by another boy who threat-
ened to inform the carter on bis return, he was struck to the
ground by a stone thrown at him by the challenged party,
who advanced and ordered him to rise. The boy feebly re-
plied that he was not able, when bis adversary (about ten
years of age) kicked him in the breast and belly, and the
little sufferer almost immediately expired.—Dundee Ad-
vertiser.
