The Foment 4 of Barcelona of the 20th, says, "The
column Mantes., :tinder Brigadier Manzsno, com-
bining its operations with those of other columns,
marched in pursuit of the bands of Cabrera, Moral,
Muchico, Bartagal Borges des Tristanys, and other
Carlist chiefs, who were known to be about to join.
Before arriving at a rendezvous fizednearD'Artee, two
companies, which formed the advanced guard of the
column, were at once attacked by a considerable body
and ob:iged to retreat. The brigadier Monzano
rapidly advanced his column to support them, with-
out being aware of the danger to which he exposed
himself, for he was at once surrounded by the Carlin
troops amounting to about 1,500. In this unfortunate
position he was nnhappily wounded, and the com-
, =lndent of the column was killed. His troops,
having no longer any commander could not support
the fire of the enemy, and fled in all directions ; 30t)
men of the column only escaped ; as to tho rest we
have no information, but are assured they write com-
pelled to surrender. It is said that the Captain
General, who was at Cervera, was about to return to
Barcelona; but this unfortunate affair may perhaps
change his projects.

ITALY.
[NSURRECTION AT ROME.

ROME—The Genoa Gazette, of the 20th inst., says :
After the death of Rossi the deputies quitted the cham-
ber in silence. In the evening the people frater-
nised with the carabineers. They together, preceded
by the Italian Hag, paraded the streets. The people
on the evening succeeding the assassination prome-
naded the Corso with torches and banners, singing,
" Blest be the hand which felled the tyrant!" The
civic guard of Rome had addressed to the carabineers
a proclamation, in which they said their " mot
d'ord e" was " peace and fraternity between no, and
extermination to our enemies and oppressors."
The Alba of Florence, of the 18th inst., under date,
Rome,l6th inst. rays : At 11 o'clock this morning a large
assemblage took place on the Piazza del Popolo
of the civic guard, the troops of the line, the cars-
bineers, and the populace. At 12 more than 30,000
people marched from this place to the Chamber of
Deputies, to require the latter to demand of the Pope
a democratic ministry, and the following concessions,
printed on a large placard : —l. Recognition of Italian
nationality. 2. Convocation of the Constituent As-
sembly, and discussion of the federative pact. 3.
Termination of the deliberations of the Council of
Deputies on the war of independence. 4. Entire
adoption of the programme of Mamiani of the sth
June. Ministers desired by the people: Mamiani,
Sterbini, Cambello, Sailed', Fawn', Lunati, Serini,
Galletti. The deputies joined the cortige, and went
to the palace of the Pope, who informed them, through
Cardinal Borns, that hewould reflect on it. The people
not being sa!isfled, again sent the deputies to the Pope,
who replied that he would accord nothing demanded
with violence. The Swiss Guards then began to
drive back the people, who rushed on them and die-
armed some of them. The Swiss then retired into the
castle, threatening to fire on the assemblage. Their
indignation then knew no bounds, and proposals were
made to set fire to one of the large gates, when the
Swiss fired on the people, which was immediately fol-
lowed by cries of " To arms! to arms r by the crowd.
At three o'clock the ginfrate was beaten. All the
troops and civic guards assembled ; the first platoons
occupying the advanced posts about the Quirinal as
well as the tower of San Carlino sustained until five
o'clock a fusillade with the Swiss, who fired from the
windows. At six o'clock the Quirinal was completely
invested ; 6,000 civic guards and troops of the line
were ranged in order of battle before the palace with
their cannon levelled against the principal entrance;
they bad brought with them carts to form barricades,
ladders, cords, &c. A deputation was again sent to
the Pope with the ultiviatom, and an hour accorded
for his reply, with a notification that if he refused, the
palace would be taken by assault, and all who should
be taken therein be shot, the Pope alone excepted.
The Pope then sent for Galetti, and signified his con-
sent to take the following ministry :—Mamiani,
foreign affairs; Galletti, interior; Lunati, finances;
Sterbini, commerce ; Cambello, war ; Rosmini, public
instruction ; Serini, grace and justioe. As to the
other demands, the Pope referred them to the deci-
sion of the Council of Deputies.
Since the foregoing was in type, we have advice,
from Rome to the 17th inclusive, which state that the
people were removing the barricades, but the gates of
the Quirinal were closed. At 8 o'clock the civic
guard assembled on the Place, with and without arms,
determined that the Swiss should retire. A deputa-
tion waited on the Pope, who capitulated in the name
of the Swiss, on condition that their lives should be
spared. These conditions having been accepted, the
Swiss were disarmed. They would leave Rome that
evening. At 9 o'clock the civic guard took possession
d all the gates which were occupied by the Swim, and
his Holiness was guarded by them. The wounded
on the side of the troops and the people were about
12 or 13 ;no one was killed. M. Palma had died. It
was he who prepared the famous enclycic of the 29th
ApriL The Pope, it seems, had relied on the smitt-
en°, of the populace of Traristevere and de Monti, but
they refused their aid. If the Pope had not
yielded, the palace would have been fired. A ball
entered the room in which the Pope was sitting.
Cardinal Lambrnechini escaped, disguised as a dragoon.
Galetti prevented any injuries to the palacec k-
randi. The authorities have made their formal sub-
mission to the popular club. Rosmini and Sereni
have declared that they will not form part of any
democratic ministry. The Pope was left almost
alone in the Quirinal palace, the diplomatic
body . only going to console him. His only
remaining friends are Cardinals Antonelli sad
Soglia. The Pope has said that compelled into
' the conduct he has adopted, he will take no part in
the government, to which he is determined to rest a
stranger, having prohibited them to use his name.
It is said that a despatch front the King of Naples
to Rossi had been intercepted, containing the state-
ment that the former would send troops to support
the Rossi Ministry. An imposing demoastration
for the declaration of the Italian constitution is at
this moment in preparation at the chamber.
NAPLES.—We have received the uespatches of
our Naples correspondent to the 17th. The elections
bad just terminated, and the results were unfavourable
to the ministry. Naples itself bad returned six libe-
rals, two of whom were Generals Pepe and Saliceti,
and the other four eapo lazzeroni. Most formidable
military preparations were in progress. AU the
forts were strengthened, new ones constructed,
the royal palace itself was converted into a fortress.
The greatest commercial ultras p_revsiled. The lower
classes were driven to beggary. The streets not safe to
walk there at night. The most alarming reports were
' circulated ; such as that government was about to
declare war against England ; that all foreign vessels
would be ordered to leave the harbour, &c.
The intelligence of the death of Ibrahim Pada
(which 1 sent you some days ago) had been received.
LEGHORN.—A letter from our correspondent at
Twist of the 21st, gives the following details of a de-
7onstration at Leghorn, on the the news of the same-
gladioli of Rossi reaching that place :
I read under the title " Demonstration at Leghorn," that
I ON announcement of the assassination of Pellegrino Reed
1 has been received here by the people with indescribable
Pi. On the 18th, a bill was posted up containing thews
words : " Pellegrino Rossi has fallen under the blow of
the democratic dagger, the avenger of the rights of the
rook Retrograde ministers learn benne and beware.
Amiable et 4 on the Great Square." In fact the people

am% palace, vociferating emu for Italian liberty, and the
gswsor appeared at the balcony and spoke as follows

iiineles, has fallea he the hand ef a son of the 'what re-
pahlieip (of Rome). Mai Ood sate his seal and the liberty of
