ROMAN STATES.—The latest intelligence from
Rome is of the 10th inst. _ _

Tno secotd trench was opened on the 7th, and the
Lotteries to effect a breach were probably established
in the nisht of the 9:h.
The a•my is not suffering from the want of pro-
visions. It obtains plenty of wine from the cutting,
and flour, meat, and vegetables are sect from (Suits
Vecchia. The peasants, however, suffer greatly,
owing to the interruption of the communications with
Rome, from which they are accustomed to obtain
sopplies; there has been a grt at scarcity among
them, but the general, to the satisfaction of the eel-
di rs, had caused bread to be distributed to them. M.
d'llatcourt and M. de Ittyneval arrived on the 11th
at Civita Vecchia from Gatti. They were going on
to the French comp.
An officer, who left head-quarters at 9 o'clock on
the 11th inst., announces that the third parallel was
terminated, and that it advances to within 50 metres
of toe wall designated as the point of attack. The
army has msde about 500 prisoners; its losses amount
to 120 killed and 450 wounded.

The Noun/hate of Maneilles, of Friday, has the
following from Civita Vecchia of the 11th hint.:—
"The works for the siege advance rapidly. In a very
short time we shall beat down the walls behind
which our enemies carefully shelter themselves. Suc-
cess is inevitable. The sanitary state of the army is
excellent—the moral perfect. During the last few
days our army has sustained no loss; that of the fo-
reigners who compose what are called the Roman
troops has been immense, and chiefly among the moat
energetic part cf the corps of Garibaldi, whose staff
has been almost destroyed. The cannon of the ram-
parts continue to fire to prevent the phcing of oar
batteries, but without any other effect than that of
exhausting the ammunition of the enemy."
AI. de Coreelle arrived on the 11th inst. at Civita
Vecchia iii a government steamer. 5,C00 Spaniards
were at Terracina. A Spanish steamer also arrived
at C.vita Vecchia ; her commander had proceeded
to the French camp, where it is said he had M.
ceie, d a reception from General Oudinot the reverse
of cordial.
'Ties Genoa Gazette of the 13th inst. states from
Rome, that the cannon-balls fired by the French from
Monte Verde would often annoy the Roman artillery-
mr stationed on the Monte Aventine, by rebounding
from the facade of the church of St. Alexis, so that
th,, Ramona have been obliged to demolish the ob-
noxious facade. A f•rced requisition of silver, cop-
per, and any metal applicable to the striking of money
had been ordered by the triumvirs. 800 men had ar-
rived at ltimc from C.vita Castellano. The three
batteries established by the French at 60 metres from
Rome are said to be compssed of 50 pieces each.
The SentineVe of Toulon announces that the
steamer Salamandre arrived at Toulon on the 14th
instant from Claim Vecchia, which she left on the
12th. She brought no other news than that the French
were drawing nearer to the wars of Horne, and that
the enemy was making a desperate resistance.
The follow ng additional documents regarding the
Roman negotiations will be found interesting. It is
a small printed sheet which was thrown to the French
soldiers before Rome. It contains, first, the articles
signed by M. de Leeseps with the triumvirs Armel-
lini. Saffi, ani Mazzini, and the refusal of General
Oudinot to ratify them. Then come the two follow-
ing documents. The first is the answer of M. Fer.
dinned Leaseps on the communication to him of this
paper:
Messieurs les Triumvirs,—ln answer to the communication
which you have this morning made to me. containing &letter
from the commander-in-chief of the Freuch army and
your answer, I have the honour to declare that I maintain
tke arrangement made yesterday, and am taking my de-
parture for Paris in order to have it ratified. This arrange-
ment was concluded in virtue of my instructions, which so.
Weise me to devote myself exclusively to the negotiations
to be entered upon and the relations to be established with
the authorities and the populations of Rome. Accept. Re.,
The Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary on minion to Rome.
FERDINLND Da LiSUPS.
The second document is as follows :
French Soldiers,—You know new your position end ours.
M. Lesseps sent to us to execute the order, of the Amembleo
(May 7), has concluded the following honourable convention
with us. Your cemmarder-in-chief opp es it. Re ',inlet,
in his sad resolu'ion to violate by main forte the Eternal
City, of again causing a river of fraternal blood to BM be-
tween brothers who were ready to embrace each ether in
amity. Is tab worthy of France ? Is it worthy of you, our
brothers? Will you make yourselves accomplices in this
hideous drama, in this liberticidal conspiracy' MIMI' as
by your nets. Boon you will be judged, and France with
you. Yore- Basvuiex or Rosen.
VENICE.—The .Risorgintento of Tario, of the 15th
inst., quotes lcters from Venice of the 6th, stating
that the Beige and blockade are carried on unre-
mittiugly, and that Brondolo, Chioggia, end Cavar-
zere are daily bombarded. Minister Bruck had
opened negstiations with the city, but to no effect. His
offers were : a general amnesty; the recognition of the
public debt of Venice; the institution of the civic
guard ; a civil and not military government; the rein-
tesration into their several offices of all those persons
who held public functions before the 22nd of /larch,
1848; all the ensploya to be Italian, to the exclusion
of Germans ; the amount of a year of prandial tax to
133 waived by the Austrian government. In return
for these conditions, the Austrians were to occupy
the town and forte. The Venetians have refused,
fearing, with nasals, that the Aust,ians, once in pos-
SCSaiOO, would keep none of these articles.
NAPLES.—The kllowing is our correspondent's
letter :
NAPLES, Jose 10.
The affairs of Rome occupy universal attention
here, and every Frenchman, with the exception, per-
haps, of the minister of the republic, is indignant
at the conduct of General Oudinot, for sacrificing his
own and his country's honour to the dictates of the
disgraceful Gaeta plot. Six thousand Spanish troops
have left for Velatrie, and the King of Naples has
