SEVERE LOSS OF THE FRENCH

AT ROME

ROMAN STATES.—The French face before
Rome has, in two attempts to enter that city, expe-
rienced, it is said, severe his, and retired, according
to the latest accounts, to St. Paolo about six miles
from Rome. The Bodine& et Toulon, of the 4tli
instant, brims this news in two communkatioce, one
Mee than the other, which we aubjcio. The first
eamesanioation says : "We have received news from
Rome by the Veloce, which left Clefts Veobia on the
Ist. Tan army set out cm its march the 28th ult.,
and, in spite of the obstacles which it met with on
its way, arrived on the 30th under the walls of Rome.
The general-in-chief sent forward Capt. Oudinot with
a flag of truce, but he was seized on and detained.
Our soldiers then advanced. and were received
with firing from some houses in which a number
of Lombards and other Italians had entrenched them-
selves. Our troops returned the fire, but, from the mo-
ment that are 'imams appeared determined on,the gene-
ral-in-ehiet withdrew his troop towards Castel Gelid°,
four leagues from Rome. He would not perhaps
have adamesd, had he foreseen the slightest resist-
sure ea the put of the Italians. He does not intend
segagisi in say undertaking before receiving rein.
lbseamesile hem France, and above all siege-artillery.
A ramose has been in circulation here that we have
lest 600 men, hat death inexact. We have had only
sae man killed and twenty.flve wounded."
The subsequent says: "By the frigate Omar*,
bee arrived this evening (Thursday) tram
Chita Vecchia, which she quitted on the 2nd at
aeon, we have received new details respecting the
situation of our expedition. It appears that
our troops, in greater numbers, made a woad
attempt to penetrate into Rome, and that
they experienced a sharp resistance. A company
of the tirailleurs of Vincennes, having advanced
bo far in a sired, an attempt was made to extricate
it, but this was not without less. A company of volii-
genre of the 20th, was entirely deetroved by a well-
sapported fire irons the windows. We have also to
deplore the death of a captain of artillery, the aide-de-
camp of General Oudinot. We reckon 180 killed,
and 400 wounded. Our army has retired to St.
Paolo, a league and a half from Rome.'
There seems to be no doubt of the nes which
must have dictated this paragraph in the Pewro official
journal' of Monday morning. Our Roman corm- I
potdent writes :
ROHR, Aran. 29.
The enthusiasm of the citizens and troops, instead
of flagging, is every hour rising with energy. The
national guard wee paned in review before the As-
sembly aid the triumvers this morning, and all swore
to defend Road to the last drop of their blood. Thel
lower orders are in • perfect state of frenzy, and
brandish pitchforks, knives, and every imaginable im-
plement, crying out for the interims Freash
invaders to come in if they dare. The Prises's
Trevalzio de Belgoiogo is at the head of a committee
lof noble ladies who are busy preparing bandages for
the wounded and wadding for the cannon. All the
bridges of the city, from Ponta Moll* to Fonts Sisto
and St. Bartolomeo, are undermined, ready to be
blown up. The Tiber is now swollen. The artillery
staff are ere.ting batteries, and the engineers re-
deobts, at which the people work with zeal and also-
rity. All the paving states of the town are in
heaps, and are being carried to the tops of the
houses.
The French were lest night at Palo, 25 miles el,
but now (at 9 o'clock p.m.) they are reporttd a few
miles off. Oudinot has received a deputation, and
hesitates to advance. He is said to have asked for
an armistice- of nine days, no doubt to allow the
second division of his men to come from Toulon.
This won't do now ; he is come too far to get back
with honour, and a horrid butchery must ensue.
In the sitting of the Assembly at Rome on the
27th, Manteochi, minister of public works, gave an
account of his journey to Civita Vecchia, and cens-
firmed the report made by Rusconi. The Ammahly
then declared that itF past ia the first &Haien.
that is, to oppose the
Aprodamation was accordingly put forth to the
Roman troops, stating therein that the French bed
violated a fres territory, but that they should net
congers the Roman people.
By a decree of the triumvirate of Rome, also of the
27th ult., ell members of religious orders are free to
abandon them; and those among them who wish to
join the army and defend their country will be re-
ceived with gratitude. On the 28th ult. es nuns of
St. Sylvester were ordered to evacuate their convent,
to make room for the Legion Garibaldi, which had
just arrived.
We read in the Cosetitertionsel: "A letter from
Ancona informs us that the most complete anarchy
pervades the city; that disorder is still increasing
into proportions so alarming, that foreigners even are
obliged to fly from their houses to escape from plea-
der and murder. Such a state of things cannot last
without infallibly bringing on a catastrophe. To
prevent this, or at least to protect the interests of our
relkow-ormult7mebe gravely comprised in this crisis,
Rear-Admiral Riostely is shortly expected to come

DRESDEN, MAT 3, 430 ex.
The first attack of toe people on the arsenal lies
been made, and the first three volleys fired by the
bataltion of Pntce Albert, there posted five
were killed, and several wounded. The
cad wen borne off in oars, said the shouts
of the people for revenge. The tocsin tolled,
the " generale • was beaten, the Town-house
MB stormed, sad the Germ* colours planted
on the tower. The next news wee that the com-
mandant ci the Communal Guard, Lens, a merchant,
had laid down his command, mad Heins. was chosen
in his place. A crowd of people collected before
the on the Bruaketi-Plats. Stones were
thrown at ihe king's room, and two or the windows
were smashed.
From 3 to 6.—the Newitadt battalion of the Co..
munal Guard is now moving over the bridge. Baker
cannon rattle behind them, and several alsadrons
light hone, which were drawn up on the Brinker
Plate. Ceases shots are beard. It is at the arsenal.
Tae fifth batallioa el the comamunal guard have greatly
suffered. Barricades are erected. The whole Schloss-
gasee.was soon barricaded. The Literary Museum m
occupied by a division of the Turner-sehaar, and the
other houses by communal guards. The Now-markt
was also barricaded.
The barricade erected at the issue of the Wiladrof-
straw reached the first story of the houses. The
pavement is torn up, and the sewers uncovered, to
impede the ntanceuvres of the earth y.
Between 6 and 7.—The Tarner-ectiaar occupies the
buildings opposi's the Clinics,. Institute, and their
fire thus swet pe a portion of the arsenal-court.
The door of the arsenal is stove in with a waggon;
but in the name moment a cannon inside is discharged,
and strews the place with dead and wounded. The
lower municipal amenably and a put of the upper
have declared their sitting permameat, and hold
these in the Rath-base of the Old Town. The
crowd is crying oat for arms and ammunition. Dr.
Minekwits, CoLnel Ife:nse (formerly in the Greek
service), the former members of the Diet, and Dr.
Techirner appear on the balcony of the Town-ball, re-
commend patience, and promise arms. The municipal
ueemblies send deputations to the kir g, who again,
with deep emotion, answers in the negative.
A sort of provisional government seems ti have
been established, and Tszhimer charged with the
esnibeet of the insurreothn. While heis announcing
this keen the balcony, a shit goes off, directed ap-
resetly at Trehirser. Lena way handled roughly, and
pissed nadir arrest. The whole old town and some

5 P.Y.-600 young fellows hays just been armed
by the town-council and sett by en extra train to
Dresden, to fight on the side of the citizens there.
The town council and the eldeimanio board, having
in vain sent deputations to the king, declared them-
selves en permanence.
Later in the evening the so-called old town
and several of the suburbs were entirely in possession
of the insurgents, who were hourly reinforced by
the arrival of civic guards. The bridge which con-
nect* the Old with the New Town was barricaded,
so that all communication between the two was
cut off.
A portion of the insurgents daring the night of the
re
3rd, openly proclaimed a pubic. Towards 11 p.m.,
firing amid on both aides—the night being spent in
preparations for the morrow's conflict.
The troops, some 2,000 strong, arrived in Dresden
in the course of the 6th, and immediately occupied a
portion of the Old Town. According to the latest tic-
wants from Dr. sdeo, the insurgents have expressed a
desire to capitulate. Other Pentair:l troops were ex-
posted in the above capital. The Leipsic town
sad board of aldermen have protested against the
employment of foreign troops in Saxony. That
town was tolerably tranquil on the evening of
the

On the 6th, it appears that the military authorities
have been comp red to allow of the joint occupation
of the arsenal by the civic guard and the artillery-
nen, and that some pieces of cannon have been
taken by the insurgents. It is asserted that a portion
ef the troo of the line has fraternised with the people.
The government is composed of Techirner,

The Prussian government undertakes towards Ger-
many that part which Russia assumes will regard to
Europe. Under the wing of Russia, Frederick
Willies' has flung himself into a cronada against all
rovoletiesary movements in Germany, wherever they
doubled. and has in fact taken upon himself the
immenseliegsst of the Czar's legates, or lieutenant, in
the west. Ind night pert of a Prussian regiment
marched tore down the insurrection at Dresden ; to-
day more troops have followed, and already the streets
of Dresden and Leipzic are red with Saxon blood,

Bemis, which has not scrupled to butcher unarmed
citizens in the streets of Berlin

MALDON SPRING Fate..--This extensive cattle fair was
held on Thursday, and was more largely supplied with beasts
than we have seen it for some yarn past. The attendance of
farmers was large. Business, however, in this branch was
rather dull, and the dealers not being disposed to submit to
the low prices offered, the larger portion regained unsold.
Of sheep the show was lags, about 3,000 b. ing penned,
end the trade in them was very brisk, about 2,000 of
them being disposed of, but at prides rather below
those which have prevailed at the late fairs in this district.
There were in the fair a lot of Lambs bred from Irish ewes.
wakh were mid at 13e. taken from the ewes ; the ewes were
afterwards disposed of. There was a brisk sale for good
cart Horses and Colts; in this branch considerable business
was done, at good prices.
Nouwicn, May 5.—00 r market exhibited an excellent
show of Scots end Short-horns, but trade was very dull, the
fat markets not being better; so long as they continue at
these ruinous prices we can hope for little impuvement ;
nearly halt the Beasts remained unsold. Fat Besets, the
worst sale this sateen, at 6e. to 6s. per stone, without a clear-
ance. The pens were fairly filled ; the best Hoggets dull of
sale, middling quite as dear, and nearly all said. Fet Sheep,
inked, 6s. to Se. 6d. per • one. Ewes and Limbs no quota-
tion. Store Pigs, 265. to 301. per head ; fat Pork, 6s. 6d. to
Os. per stone.

Birmingham, on Thursday. The deceased prelate was the
youngest son of the late -Viscount Northland, and uncle to

his age.
THE EXCHEQUER.—A return, yesterday published
by order of the House of Commons, shows that the monies
received during the financial year 1818-49 to the account
of her Ilajesty 'Exchequer amounted to G 0,412,1191., which,
with the balances of the old account, made a grand total of
67,235,3681. The payments made by the Bank of England
dying the year amounted to 66,247,1141., and the total
balance at the Bank on the 6th of April last was 6,836,260/.
The balance at the Bank of belled on the same day was
1,050,049/.
SMITTIFILLD•MARKET.—Yesterday, on the re-as-
sembling of the committee, Mr. Mackinnon in the chair, a
mass of evidence was taken relative to the public inconve-
nience resulting from the driving of animals to and from
Smithfield-market, and the acts of cruelty perpetrated as
them. Several sergeants and inspectors of the dividosal
districts of police were examined, and from their evidence
it appeared that the nuisence of driving cattle to and from
Smithfield continued, without intermission, from all night
on Sunday until after midday on Monday, dudes which the
language of the drovers a'ong the high streets was disgust-
ing and disgraceful, The droves of animals, frequently half
wild, impeded the progress of carriages and cobs, and
caused great consternation to ladies, who, with chil-
dren on Coot and in arms, sought refuge in the nearest
shops. The daughter-houses in Smithfield, as well as those
kept by butchers in other" parts of the metropolis, were
great nuisances in hot weather, even after the blood was
tubbed " away, and the refuse removed. On market morn-
ings from two to three thousand beasts and twenty thousand
sheep left their lairs at ldington. There were instance',
from the reports made to the head quarters of police,
of constant extemporaneous attacks on the part of in-
furiated beasts, from over-driving, thirst, and fatigue—
one in which an animal, after prostrating a policeman, pro-
ceeded to toes a woman, and afterwards to break a bo's arm
—another where a passenger was gored to death by a bull,
that then upset a hone and chaise, settled himself behind
the counter of a shop, which had to be removed before he
could be extricated, and finished by making himself a
fixture for two days and nights in the middle of a road.
Mr. J. E. Norris, printer, of Aldersgate-street, who said he
had occasion doily to go through Smithfield, gave evidence
at consicerable length descriptive of deliberate acts of
cruelty he had witnessed during the last two months He
had seen horns knocked off, dangling by a piece of flesh;
this might have happened by rail, or by the animals
running their heads against the public vehicles. Driven,
with dreadful imprecations, struck the beasts upon the
hock, kicked them in the jaws with thick boots, and twisted
their tails till they were agonised. Much of this cruelty was
unavoidable from the ',amnesty confined state of the mar-
ket. It was the general wish of the inhabitants of Alders-
gate that the market should be removed. It injured
their trade, and twice laweek prevented persons from coming.
Messrs. Moss and Watson, officers of the Royal Society
for ?realities of Cruelty to Animals, gave similar evi-
dence. No such cruelty occurred in the provincial mar-
kets, where the space for the purpose was commodious.
Captain Hamilton, magistrate of Middlesex, was in favour
of a market in the suburbs, of adequate dimensions. Mr.
Granville, engineer to the promoters of blingtommarket,
was of opinion that the horrors of Smithfield arose from its
restricted space, which was enly 64 mese, whereas 20 acres
would net be too much. Mr. T. Langham, butcher, Ed/s-
-wan-road, said the sheep and oxen ant to him for slaughter
from a plate in the country per rail were without bruise or
blemish, whilst these sent from the same place by the same
method, and that passed through Smithfield, were 90 bruised
from ill-treatment in the market es to render *entices sale-
able. The chairman at 4 o'clock said the committee had
heard sufficient evidence on the point of public a •
and would adjourn to Thursday for 'video's ed

wield be the inducement of the Aglarilea going to the West

was by marehante, shipowners, and seamen. (Hear.) The

He then are to consider the system which be
bad now to deal with, and to look at the al-
tered shape of the wiggliest laws. Soma of the
most respectable witnesses who was suaincoaed to give evi-
dence in favour of these laws avowed that until they came to
look iato the law more closely they were Dot aware how little
protection it really gave. (Hoar, hear.) He held an se-
want in his hand with the details of which he would not
trouble their lordships, contaiain all the rations and eon.

deices; interest in making themselves acquainted with the
subject and the provisions of these treaties, found it impos-
sible to discover under what law they were navigating, or
ups what principle they were proceeding. (Hear, hear.)
This state of things hail had the effect of suspending the efli.

(Hear, hear.) There was another of his noble friend's state-
ments with rennet to which he wished to sty a few words.
It was is relation to the reciprocity treaties; but those who
opposed the repeal of the navigation laws, had nothing to
say to those treaties. There was no earthly connexion be-
tween thema and the navigation laws. What they
did object to WM to suffer Frans to import
into Inland the produce of Runts from her own shores.
In oomOliag his statistical tables Mr. Porter distinctly stated
to the resusittee that he was instructed by Mr. Pithier
Gibson how to make them out so u to offer an answer to Mr.
G. F. Tom', whe was opposed to the present measure, as
Mr. Ginaa was in favour of it. The object of the satin-
ties laws was to preserve as much of the carrying trade to
England as was passible, end is order to prove that
the eszeyieg trade with Ruda was liabte to be injured
by the mantesance of those laws, a device bad been
practised which was of the greesset, he had almost said of
the most scandalous. description. The number of ships and
serrespeeding number of tens representing the envying trade
eateries and clearing out between the ports of the two coun-
tries was 47 shim and 700 tons ; and yet then were made in
the government tables to figure as 216,000 tons
of shipig employed in the carrying trade, be-
cause the ships made their 32 voyages in a year.
But that was not all. One ship, the Magician, of 98 tons,
was actually put does as representing 142,1.00 tons, because,
i forsooth, it had made 146 voyages—(bmar, hear), whereas in
truth and in fan, the real tonnage of this magical Megidsa
was not 96 multiplied by 145, but 96, without any multi-

out how well we succeeded there, what large advantages we
enjoyed in that quarter. Why, to be sure we did, and for •

their own, and cossemently. while our ships hat sag

terms. It was said that these navigation laws were
but the fragments of a erten Possibly so. Bat they were
large fragments—freptinats of 1• gigantic size, splead-d frag-
ments, deserving of a very different treatment from that
which this measure and its supporters sought to deal it.
(Hear, ken.) Under that system was fostered our colonial
trade, employing a million and a half of tonnage, 20,000 and
odd mama, end a capital producing returns of nearer Ave
than four millions per annum. This system was to be
knocked on the head. Why ? No good reason was assign-
able. Something had been said about Canadian
dissentent. Why, the St. Leweesee was at this
moment so perfectly free, that the Canadians could
conduct any ermniercisl enterprises they pleased with
the Americans, exporting to the United States what-
OM they had to export, and receiving from the
United States whatever the Americans had to ex-
port to Canada in their own shipping, where they
chow, the Asterisms having precisely the some freedom.
