ROMAN STATES.-0 or pdede letters state that
the Fre .elt traces Sr. being decimated by malaria,
and that the engineering still displayed by them is
not of the fist calibre. The Sentinel!. of Toulon of
the 20th says :
The Viloce stamen strived this evening from Civita
Vieeehie, whoa\ she left es the 16th. She bangs with her
6,5 sees, 20 of wham are wosaded, end the renainder
raleseent after been or wounds. At the date of her de-
parture it wee Meows that the sing. operations were going
on with as vaunt nativity as sees Oar loss is issignifieent,

Safety to a prompt eight. Oa the 13th a breach of 20 to 26
metres wee rendered nearly preeticable, but it was not in-

hereignen who were in arms for the defence of the city to
Banta if, ea fair terms, but they having replied that they
now had so eametry. our general promised to have them
transported to Africa, where they should form a legion, is
when they sh, uld preserve their respective maks. Two of
the Triumvirate steered these mediae's*, but the third
Member refund absolutely. This resistance
mu', without doubt, be attributed to the knowledge which
the Triumvirate had of the plans of the Mountaineers of
Petrie, sot it in probable that, when they become aware of
the attempt of 'he hero of the Conservatoire, they will yield
as readily es the Paris heroes.
The Obsereatore Triedisin of the 15th give the fol-
lowin4 intelli..ence front Ancona:—"All the positions
outside Ancona, within 100 paces from the citadel,
are occupied by the imperial and royal troops. After
having cut otf several aqueducts that lead to the
town, it experiences great distress from want of water
and provisi..n.. It is said, however, that the citadel
is sufficienly provided with provisions and stores
Zatabeccari, the oommandant, has threatened to bom-
bard the town, in case it intended to yield. On the
12th, the garrison of Ancona made a tally with able
1,000 men, bu was repulsed by the bsttslion Holten-
lobe at the point 'if the bayonet without firing a shot.
In this affair the above bat'alion bad a loss of five
dead and seventeen wounded ; that of the enemy
must have been at least double."
VENICE The Genoa Gazette has the following
front Ven•ce, 14th inst.: " Aitereeveral attacks made by
the enemy on the side of Broad 4o and Chioggia, and
a fierce ea,vionade 011 the bridge of the Lagoon, for the
purpose of demolishing our works of defence, the
Austrians have this morning disappeared, and are to
be seen neither at Chioggia nor at Brondolo. A few
trove were seen marching towards Compalto. This
is said to be owing to the intelligence officially re-
ceived, that about 30,000 llmtgarians were marching
towards the I-orzu, and were expected at Fiume,
Udine, and Trieste. The Austrians are therefore
hasteniug to en amp on the banks of the Isonzo to
oppose the Hungarians. Msain published this intel-
ligence to the people from the pthice, and read a
letter from Kceitieh, in which the latter excited the
Venetians to resist, and promised them prompt re-
lief. Voice is now unblocked by land, and overcome
with joy. An illumination is preparing for this
evening.
