ROMAN STATES.—The f Mowing dmpatctes
from General Oudinot have been received in Paris:

Villa Bantu...A, June 11.
Monsieur le Ifinis.re,—lt is proper that I should give you
a svciel account of an event to which the enemy attached
great imp .rtance, but the result of which, on the contrary,
is favourehl• to us. You know that, in the early part of
May, a bridge was established on the Tiber, at the anchor-
age of San Paolo. This operatic n took place nearly at the
tame time as eceupai ion of the church of Sin Paolo. We
almost timultane..utly brcime masters of the Tonto Moll*,
and our moreabl c loans tieing thus able to communicate
with each other by the tett bask made the inv.stment of
Rome complete. The Romans imagined that sending a few
fire-boats durirg the night would suffice to burn the bridge.
Towards midnight etc was set off by some men, Who
brought it to the heights of San Paolo, and there abandoned
it to the current. To the principal hoat were lashed three
others filled wits powder and other inc. ndiary substances.
The approach of this mass in combustion was soon sig-
nalised. Two guns fired by us changed their direction, and,
thanks to he floating-cable which
loneitudinaty, the burning boat wte driven al a wreck to
the tight bank. In a few instants the talon were sunk. No
accident reoultel from this attempt. The want of success
wia, I hop serve to prevent the Romans from making
another. I cannot trok too highly of the troops and sea-
men of the finals. Their vigilance and energetic courage,
sad the simultaneous ac'ion of their efforts, powerfully con-
tributed to preserve the bridge.

Villa Pasoan, June 12.

Monsieur le Ministre—Everything is ready to make a
breach and give art assault. Still, though success cannot be
doubtful, taintaLity requires me to make a last summons to
the city. I have sent, by an offic3. of my staff, to the !'resi-
dent of the National Assembly, the triumvirate, the general
commandinpice chief the Roman army, the general com-
manding the civic guard, the foreign consuls, and the chan-
cellor of the embassy, the proclamation of which a capy is
subjoined. My letters to these different authori'iee being all
conceive in the same terms, it is sufficient to transmit to you
a copy of that which I have sent to the President of the Na-
tional Assembly.-1 am, &e.

OVDINOT DE REGGIO.

Here comes the letter of Gereral Oudinot to the
President of the National Assembly of Rome, already

Villa Nall, June 13.
Monsieur le Ministre—You will see by my deepatch of
last evening that I made a last appeal to concilislion. It has
not been listened to. I send herewith the journal of the be-
sieging operations on the 11th, 12th. and 13th instant. As
so.in as we 4.0 obtain results, I will hasten to communicate
th-m to vtu as rapidly as commnmcations by sea will
permit. —I am, &n.,

From the 10th to the 11th of dune.—During the night we
dehouch .d from the left side of San Pancrazio to make a
serood parallel. This trench was prolonged towards the
bottom of the valley to the extent of 140 metres. The open-
ing h existed yesterday in the communication on the
left of the road that passes in front of the church of San Pan-
crazio was closed during the night. The wall by the side of
the road was pierced, and thus the lower part of the coin-
munication was joined to the upper part which unites the
Vida Coreini to the summit of the wall. All the new trenches
were made to their full width in the course of the day. At
the centre, the covert way from the Place d'Armes was car-
ried, on the right, to the battery which is to destroy the
bastion No. 7, and is made to rest upon the ruins of two
houses lately destroyed by the enemy. At this point, we are
120 metres from the wall. On the right, we have carried the
double sap towards the escarpments which command the
valley of the Tiber, above the Ports Povese, and to-night we
shall return towards the front of the attack to go beyond a
avert way which will start frem the ruined houses above
mentioned. The battery No. 5, which is to serve also as •
breaching battery against the bastion No. 7 has been begun
by the engineers. At day-light it was covered, and the
platforms and powder' magazines were completed in the
course of the day. The works at battery No. 4 have been
carried on without any interruption from the enemy.
Batteries 1 and 2 have received and answered • fire from the
fortress without experiencing any less.
From the 11th to the 12th.—On the left of the attacks the
second parallel has been prolonged several metres. At the
centre has been formed 192 metres of the parallel on the
right of the battery No. 6, and in advance of that of No. 4,
which is to oppose the bastion No. 6. This work has been
well done, notwithstanding the fire of the fortress went over
the men employed at it, and three of them were wounded.
During the night, contrary to the practice hitherto, the fire
was kept up ; and at half-past six this morning the enemy
made a sortie upon battery No. 6. He came to the
border of the trench, and placed himself in ambush on
the right of the battery in some ruined houses and be-
hind • broken wall. Attar half an hoar's strug,rls
the enemy abandoned his enterprise. On Wiring he
had to sustain a brisk fire of musketry from the Grenadier
company of the 36:h and a company of Voltigeurs, led by
Colonel Niel •f the Engineers, and left a number of killed
behind him. A battery on the plateau of the Villa Corsiol
was commenced in the sight of the 9th, but its distance from
the grand pork delayed its progress; nevertheless the work
was continued in the day, when the parapats were
strengthened and the platforms eons on with. The rest of
the Emblems and sautimons are arrived and will be used in the
rirht. The battery No. 4 was completely mounted in the
night. During the day the battery No. 1 returned the fire
of the fortress, and No. 2 that of the artillery on the left
