ROMAN STATES.—The Giornale di Roma of the
25th ult. contradicts the statement of the arrival of
Marshal Radetzki in that city, which it bad an-
nounced by mistake in its preceding number.
By a decree of the 13th ult., the government com-
mission of Rome directs that the paper money issued
by the province of Bologna, amounting to 17,000,000 fr.,
is to have forced currency for the space of one year.
General Rostolan, on assuming the command of
the troops of occupation. has published the following
proclamation :

Inhabitants of Rome,—Two months ago your city lan-
guished under the double oppressron of terror and anarchy.
The French troupe entered Rome ; they saw but friends in
you: order and tranquillity were established, and the flag
of the sovereign pontiff soon waved on the walls of the
capital, saluted by yout cries of enthusiasm as an earnest of
a better time to come. From this time, the army has not
ceased to give the example of moderation, justice, and gene-
rosity. This conduct of our soldiers will be to you the least
equivocal expression of the sentiments and sympathies of
Fume, for the sovereign pontiff and for the people of the
Roman States. Invested as I now am with the supreme
command of the army, I glory in having to continue the
noble teak so well commenoed by France. During my
functions as governor of atom, I have been able to ap-
preciate the love you bear to your sovereign, the respect
you have for his virtues. I have been able to learn your
desires, your hopes ; my efforts will constantly tend towards
the rev ion of your wishes. My principal glory will be
that of having been chosen to pursue the work of benevo-
lence which the French qovernenent has undertaken for
your happiness and prosperity.
The General-in-Chief, RosroLnx.
Rome, August 24.

VENICE.—Ths Risorgimento of Tarin states from
Venice, 27th ult., that the cholera has been raging
tearfully in that city. Upwards of 400 attacks and
235 deaths had been counted per day. It is now on
the decrease.

The Versice Gazette, of the 27th ult., contains three
decrees, the first fixing the departure of the eight
vessels destined to convey the refugees to Coati,
Patna, or Alexandria, to the 28th instead of the 27th;
the second, announcing that the post was to recom
menu its functions on the 27th ; the third, declaring
the communal paper to have its nominal value
for one day more, since the town was not to be occu-
pied till the 28th by the Austrian troops. The last
decree further contains a recommendation to shop-
keepers to keep their shops open, and not to refuse to
sell, as public tranquillity might suffer by it. These
decrees are signed by the members of the government
commission, composed of Venetians.

NAPLES.—The Unirers publishes the following
letter from Naples, dated the 24th ult.:—" Naples
expecte the sovereign pontiff; the royal resi-
dence at I ortici is preparing for his ncep-
troy, which is a delightful abode at all tim-s, but
particularly in the autumn. It is said that the
Pope will go there direct by sea, for the palace is en
the sea side. The day of the departure from Gaeta
is not yet officislly known, but there is 'Tay reason
to suppose that it will be on the 2nd or 3rd of Sep-
tember. It is hoped, but it is not yet certain, that
his holiness will be preent on the Bth, the day of the
nativity, at the fete di Maria di Pie di Grata, so
dear to the Neapolitans. and at the grand review
which the long usually hu on that day. It is almost
certain that the Pope will hold a consistory during his
stay at Naples. The visit of Pius IX. to Naples is a
first step towards his return to Rome, for hie holiness
had promieel not to quit the kingdom without visiting
the capital. No one, however, can yet say when the
head of the church will return to the eternal city.

GERMANY.
PRUSSIA.—The following is the letter of our
correspondent:

BERLIN, SEPT. 1.
There was no sitting of either Chamber to-day or
yesterday. The committee of the Second Chamber
appinted to revise the comeitution has got as far as
Article 38. Their first report, which will embrace
the first 21 articles, will be laid on the table of the
house in the course of next week. The report of the
committee on the German question is expected with
much eagerness.
During the two last days two battalions of the
19th regiment of landwehr have returned from
Schleswig through Hamburg by an extra train. The
third battalion has arrived this afternoon. The
people are struck with the change in their helmets,
which have received a cost of black varnish, ap-
parently with the view of making them offer a less
conspicuous mark to the enemy. The men are all
from the province of Posen, and most of them Poles.
They will be forthwith dismissed to their homes.
AUSTRIA.—Vienna dates are to Aug. 30.
Much noise has been made in the court circles by a
little scandal at Ischl, of which the following vervain
is current: On the 15th the band of the national
guard of Ischl came to play under the windows of the
Archduke Francis Carl, father of the emperor. Count
Wurmbrand, the archduke's master of the ceremonies,
having in the meantime eyed the nationals with
growing displeasure, and listened to their performance
with impatient disdain, was roused to such fury at a
da cape that he ran out and said is so many words
that the archduke was tired to death of their in-
kraal jingle ; and that, as for himself, their blue coats
mom quite enough to turn his (Count Wormbrand's)
demach. The band, as soon as they apprehended
the settee of this incredible outbreak of the uncere-
monious master of ceremonies, were confounded with
surprise, and having doubted for a moment whether
they should storm the palace or retire, very wisely
preferred the latter. The same night not a habitation
in the romantic wagering-place but was the scene of
animated discussion about the unheard-of affront to
the national guard. The next night the archduke was
baited to a serenade of sateen-mutik, which Count

Wormbrand forbore to interrupt, and several windows
were smashed. On the following day, the peaceable
citizens, not liking the aggravated aspect affairs were
taking:determined to get up a deputation to the
archduke, and come to explanations. His imperial
highness received the delegates with all possible
civi-
lity; and, summoning Count Wurtabrand to his pre-
sence, intimatcd that on the morrow the count would
have to make a public apology to the band of the
national guard from the balcony of the palace, and
then immediately leave Ischl and his office in the
prince's household. An amazing crowd were col-
lec'ed on the following morning, and the poor mu-
ter of the ceremonies bad to execute himself, with
what grace he could, on the fatal balcony, and then
vanishinto everlasting disgrace and oblivion.
The Hiener Zeituny contain. the following official

His imperial majesty, by " hanttbillit " of the 12th inst.,
his presented to the Grand Duke Constantine, second ion of
the Emperor of Russia, in acknowledgment of bis courageous
behaviour in several battles in Hungary, and particularly at
Debreezin, the Knight's Crum of the Military Order of
Maria Theresa, and has charged his aide-de-camp, Couut
Wihne, to convey the same to the greed duke. To Prince
Paskiewitch the emperor has sent the Grand Cross of the same
order, by his aide-de-camp, C O'Donnell. Also on the
Hereditary Prince of Russia, Alexander Cezarcwith, the
emperor has bestowed the proprietorship of the 7th regiment
of Chevaux-Legers.

It is said that a fine mansion will be placed at the
dispossl of the townie Hungarian captive Gcergey, as
soon as he arrives in Warsaw.

Prince Casimir Esterhazy has addressed a long and
extremely indignatt letter to the Wiener Zeitung,
complaining of the gross calumnies or blunders of the
press in making him the correepordent of the " high-
traitor" Kee/lute. It seem that the Constitution.lies
Blatt ens B6hmen published a letter said to be addressed
by the ex-governor to the above nobleman, whose name
was probably misprinted for that of basimir Ba-
thyany, the foreign minister of the Hungarian go-
vernment. Lloyd, the Presse, and all the Vienna
papers instantly pounced upon the document of the
Prague journal, and reproduced the erratum without
comment, to the great scandal of this imperialist sprig
of Hungarian nobility and his friends.
The general cuirespondenee of Vienna, dated Aug.
30th, mentions two more executions at Perth. A
protestant pastor and a printer were shot there be-
cause arms had been found in their possession.
The minister of
.public instruction intends leaving
to each nationality in the empire, its free choice of the
language it will use for tuition in the schools.
Measures have been already taken for introdecing
the ground-reut or land-tax into Hungary and Tran-
sylvania. Meantime they are exictiog it by antici-
pation a l'Autrichienne, and moreover the most per-
feet harmony of views on the Hungarian question
prevails in the cabinet. Any intervention of
the Russian in favour of the Hungarians
is declared to be void of all foundation. Any paper
asserting the exist ncc of Russian sympathy for the
oppressed must tither have drawn upon pure fiction
or slid it in the very essence of deep irony.
All negotiations for the surrender of Comorn have
hitherto led to no result. A part of the garrison
refuses obstina'elyto entertain them, while, on the
other hand, the majority have quitted the fortress and
laid down their arms at Gran. If a regular siege
were undertaken, communications by the Danube
would be cut off, and commerce would suffer
considerably.
Kossuth, Hero, and Dembynski are announced from
other quarters to have gone to Constantinople, via
Semlin ; that the authorities wished to put them in
the latter plue under quarantine, but that the pasha
came himself to the rescue, procured them convey-
ances,
and allowed them to continue their journey.
Kiss, the commander of Peterwardein, told the
Russlan Lie ut.-General Berg at a conference, that be
was ready to surrender as soon as be received an an-
swer from Haynau to the overtures made by him.
FRANKFORT.—Latest news to September the
2nd.

Paris and the Duke of Chartres, arrived here on the
3lat ult.

ministry of the empire, stating that the Vicar of the
Empire left Gastrin on the morning of the 28th ult.,
that he paid a visit on the 29.11 to tho King of Ba-
varia at Hohenrchwangan, and that he would pro-
bably arrive on the evening of the 2nd at Frankfort.

officially contradicted.
BAVARIA.—RMEN'AJURG ;(11ATISISONNE), AUG.
