ROMAN STATES.—We have received letters
from oar *respondent at Rome dated the 17th inst.
It gives no Uttering picture of the present state of
affairs.

ROME, Sur. 17.
General Rostolan is expected to leave Rome to-
morrow. He is reported to have been recalled, but I
think I can assure you that he previously resigned, and
that his resignation was immediately accepted by the
French ministry. The reason of his wishing to leave
the chief command was the; false potation in which he
would be placed by. the expected modification in the
line of French policy, and the evident contradictions
which would be manifest in the proclamations, orders
of the day, and regulations emanattd by Oudinot and
by himself, when compared with those which will be
published it a lees profound obedience to ecclesiastical
despotism than hitherto begins. to be ob-
served by the army of occupation in Rome. We
are to have General Magnum as commander-in-
chief, a man of greater military ability than
either of his predecessors, and probably of much more
liberal sentiment', as he has "pent some time in com-
muid:of the garrisoniat Strasbourg, a city well known
for the political opinion prevalent in all classes of its
inhabitants.

The order for the banishment of all deputies to the
Roman National Assembly, provincial governors, and
public functionaries under the republican govern-
ment, to which I alluded in a previous communica-
tion, and which was to have been put into execution
by the 20-h of this month, has been suspended. May
this prove the first fruits of French recalcitra-
tion and opposition to arbitrary and illegal op-
pression. It is certainly high time for them
to use their influence, it, indeed, in the present
triumph of despotism throughout Europe, they are
allowed to have any influence at all, for his holiness
is most decidedly opposed to any sort cf oorcession,
and declares that the Romans are uegrateful wretches,
who shall now feel the rigour of his utmost severity,
es they previously had experienced his utmost cle-
mency. lapped in the luxury of the Neapolitan
court, and surrounded by the untiring agents of
Austrian policy, bow can a weak sovereictn do other-
wise than rteeppeeaat the sentiments continually suggested
by his soaxlled protectors ?
A grand escape of condemned, or more properly
spaking,aacosed priests, took place on the day before
yesterday from the prisons of the Inquisition, where
they were confined, some for having acted u regimental
chaplains, some for hiving blessed the republican
troops, and others for similar offences against ecclesi-
astical decorum. They succeeded in effecting a sub-
terranean excavation from their dungeon to upper I
day, or rather night, for they made off about one
o'clock after midnight without being molested by
the French sentries in the neighbourhood, for, as
it had been denied that there were any prisoners
in the vaults, the soldiers did not consider
themselves obliged to watch very strictly. Same
women of the Tradevere quarter are said to have am-
misted considerably in the liberation of the prisoners, I
of whom from nine to thirteen are variously stated to
have escaped. A few, amongst whom was M. Gan-
sole, of literary and newspaper, refused to leave the
prima, some alleging that, bring accused et pecuniary
peccadillos, flight would be equivalent to a sedniea
of guilt; and some unfortunces, finally, were pee-
vented from profiting by the coral move, and emerg-
ing with their companioes to reorder k stale, by the
dreadful predicament of one of their number, who,
being a very stoat man, got jammed in the @soaps
hole, and fixed himself so firmly in the wall by his
own efforts, that, finding "return as tedious as to go
o'er " he was obliged to remain until the affair got
wind,: and he was captured midway Two Two French
artillery men walking from the neighbouring guard-
house, saw the Bret prisoner, escape, and pretended
sot to observe them, saying one to another, " Lawns
den. &kipper CIS paurrea diabks fast kur tourner
k dos."
The non-publication of the letter of the President
of the French Republic is confirmed in the following

VENICE.--The Debate publishes a letter from
Trieste of the 17th inst., from which we extract u
follows:
" A few days since I visited Venice. It is calm, but
wears an appearance of sadness closely approaching
to despair. Since the entry of the Austrian army,
that is to say since the day of the eapitnla.ion, the
governor has delivered more than 50,000 passports;
entire families are quitting the desolated country.
Some realized as much as they can of their depreciated
capital'', to go and bury themselves in some obscure
corner of Europe; they prefer the most humble ob-
scurity far from Venice to the pain of living amongst
the ruins of their former opulence, in the midst of the
ruins of Venice itself. Others go to sonic other coun-
try less unfortunate to carry on their business, which
is shackled or destroyed by the measures which Aus-
tria has decreed against the paper money of the Ve-
netian Republic, and against the commercial privi-
leges of the port"

GERMANY.

PRUBBLI.—Our correspondent writes AS follows.
BERLIN, SEPT 23.

One must do the democratic party the justice to
sly that they have not btea bamboozled by the pro-
mises of the present government. They saw and
predicted from the outset the impossibility of funning
a federal state under such auspice,. Tnose, on the
other hand, who call themselves the constitutional
patty, fondly believed that figs could be gathered
from thistles, and have given the minibttrs their
support. And what title has the Brandenburg-
Manteuffel cabinet to the approbation of men who
bout their constitutionalism. One would think the

whole course of ministers calculated, on the contrary,
to inspire such a party
.with the deepest distrust.
The finact-minister, wanting cash, helps himself to a

million of thalers, in direct violation of express pro-
visions of the law, out of a fund destined for other pur-
poses. Not a sitting of the chambers bat some motion
is brought forward or voted for by ministere, the object
of which is to maim and cripple.the gnrantees of the
constitution. The war minister declares that he is
not used to discussion, not condescending to indulge
even the present chamber with a logical exposition of
his ideas. Waldeck and Temme are forced to languish
the whole summer in prison without being brought to
trial ; and no end appears of political persecutions,
trials, and inflictions of disciplinary measures, curbing
the least freedom of thought in the vast army of
functionaries, and drilling them with military vigour
into a galling state of subservience. The minister of
clerical affairs announce, from the tribune the severest
disciplinary handling of teachers as his especially ur-
genticluty. In the chambers a war of extermination is
waged against all rights which were earned by the
revolution and established by war. The burgherwehr
clubsand assemblies, la ws for the protection of personal
liberty, abolition of game privileges, freedom of the
press, all the fruits of March, are swept off without
mercy. Meanwhile all material reforms, particularly
those which effect taxation, are postponed-, as long as
possible. Finally the bill for the regulation of com-
munes, districts, and province', indicates clearly the
intention of erecting a galling absolutism upon the
base of a strictly centralised system of employee,
tightly curbed by the disciplinary laws. If any pri-
vilege of aristocracy is invaded it will only be such as
cheeks the government ; and not the people but the
bureaucracy will be benefited by its abolition.
AUSTRIA.—Vienna dates are to Sept. 21.
A great banquet was to be given on the 22nd, in
honour of Rade;sky, at the Redonten-Seat Toe din-
ner was ordered for 600. Bat there is an advertise-
ment going the round of the town, which announces
that tuere were 3.30 places vacant, which might be
filled by the payment of 20 florins a head. Radeteky
dined, on the 20'b, with the emperor,at Schcenbrunn.
Only princes of the imperial family were present.
Toe dinner was ordered only for 12 persons.
The Austrian troops in the Papal States are to be
increased.

In Pesth the receipts given for Kossuth notes are
bought up. Among the prisor.ers at Comorn is Count
Louis Karoly, while the bailiffs of the count are pri-
soners at Vienna for having taken part in the Hungarian
rebAlion. The count's estate of Ssrany is only 12miles
from Comoro, and suffered mach in the sallies which
were not made from that fortreu 5,000 btaels of
vektat and 3,000 of oats were brought away from the
last harvest. On the 19th, Konuth =tee to the
amount of 174,447 florins were burned in the great
square of Presburg. A steamer arrived on the same
day from Gonyti (opposite Comorn), with 500 rick and
several severely wounded. She returned with a cargo of
sappers and miners. On her departure the was
smartly peppered from the fortress, but no accident
occurred. The garrison made a sally, and took all
the scaling ladders which had been brought to Gino
for taking the fortress by storm.
Gcorgey arrived at Klugenturth on the 11th. Hie
party consisted of two carriages; he, with his wife and
daughter, and Major Andrusy, went in one; his chas-
sear and domestics in the other. They alighted at
the Kaisser-K►one, where Gcergey has established
himself. He goes about the attests quite free, but
generally accompanied by his wife or Major An-
drug. Gorgey is said to have expressed the wish
to buy an estate in the neighbourhood of Klugenfurth
The company of merchants at Prague have taken
part in the Austrian loan to the amount of 4 millions
of florins.
