IMPORTANT FROM ROME.
ROME.—We have received advice* from Rome to
the 18th inst., with the letters of our own co-res-
pondent. The intention of the Pope to fiy the capi-
tal was known on that day. A Spanish ship, it was
said, wu ready at Cavite. Vecchia to take him to
Malta or Marseille*. The leaden of the popular club,
MM. Sterbini, Vinciguerra, the Prince of Canino, and
MM. Spini and Pinto, were the real governors of
Rome. M. Mutual wu the president of the new

democratic ministry.
The Opinion of Turin, of the 24th, has also intelli-
gence from Rome up to the 18th. On the evening of the
preceding day, a great meeting of the Popular Club
took place. The members and citizens were in ex-
pectation of hearing the result of the ministerial
arrangements which were still pending. It was
announced that Advocate Luuati had definitively ac-
cepted the portfolio of finance; that Monsigneur Muz-
well, the most popular among the prelates, had
accepted the portfolio of Public Instruction, and that
M. Milano had consented to till the post of General
of the Civic Guard of Rome. The ministers Sterbini
and Galletti soon arrived, and were received with loud
cheers. The following important notice was then
agreed to, and immediately published :
The Popular National Club, for the sole purpose of sup-
porting the ministry named yesterday by his holing., main-
taining public order, and preventing disturbances, invites every
good citizen to take a part in the labours of the raid club,
constituted in a permanent sitting, to co-operate in main-
taining the tranquillity of Rome.

A bulletin of the Diario di Roma of the 18th con-
tains the following :—" The Pope intends to escape
from Rome ; last night he wee kept under strict
guard. He will not give way. Several ambusadors
of foreign powers encourage him. A Spanish ship is
ready to take him either to Malta or Marseilles; the
cardinals have almost all fled. The Popular Club
now governs alone at Rome; to-morrow, or the day
after, the Chamber will be constituted, and the peo&
will present to it, as the first question, that of as
Italian Constituent Assembly. The Pope has written
a letter to the ambassadors, in which he takes leave of
them" Private letters add that the Pops is literally
besieged in the Quirinal. Other letters say that he
showed himself disposed to give way to the will of
the people.
The Coadazionale Subalpino of the 24th madam
a rumour current at Turin, that the Pope had escaped
to Clvita Vecchia, where he had embarked in a Neapo-
litan vessel.
La Speranza of Rome states, that when the people
learned that the Pope said that he would reflect as
to greeting their demands, they shouted unani-
mously "Viva la Republica!" The soldiers and
populace also shouted, " A new democratic ministry,
or a republic." The loss of the people in the late
affair is ten killed and eighty wounded.
