ROME.

General Goyon has addressed the following order
of the day to the French troops at Rome :
Officers and Boldiers,—The Emperor has deigned by
imperial decision of the 12th September to order me to
resume my add command. I return, then, among you, and
it le with joy at heat equal to the regret which 1 expressed
to you on leaving you.
Called again, and under circumstances still mere serious
than for the past, to protect the interests of catholicism in
the person of the Holy Father, who is its most legitimate
and most high representative, sad to guarantee the safety
of the Holy City, which is its seat, we will be all equal to
so high • mission, and ready, if necessary, to make ever
sacrifice to accomplish it. It is with this idea that we will
reply like French soldier to the will of our Emperor ; it is
thus that his Majesty allows us no louger to envy our
brothels, now in Cochin Chien and in Spat, the glory of
ddendlng a great and noble cause.
I know that I can rely upon you ; you know that you can
rely upon me.
Our forces have been increased to respond to the wants of
our position ; the newly arrived corps, animated by an en.
oellent spirit, and justly proud of their past, will be of great
service.
The let Brigade, commanded by General Count de Noce,
will comprise—lot and 20th battalions of Chaneure-A-pied ;
2nd and 7th of the line ; 3rd and 26th of the line.
That general officer will, moreover, fulfil the duties of
comuandant of the city of Rome, end will have under his
orders a superior officer to fulfil the functions of Major
de Place.
The gad Brigade, commanded by General Ridonel, will
comprise the Ist and 40th of the line, and 2nd and 62nd of
the line.
The other corps of special arms will remain under the
orders of their respective commanders, and will be, like the
brigades, under my superior command.
Cocirr Di Oorow, General of Division, Commanding the
Division of Occupation in Italy, Aide-de-Camp so the
Emperor.
The following is a reply made by the Pope
to General Count de Noud, when the Litter lately
presented to his Holiness the oftioers of the 62nd
meut
I am pleased to ass is you the natives of that nation which
Florio; in the title of eldest daughter of. the church, and
it is to prove yearning worthy of this title that
_you
have come to Rome, seconding the ideas of your Em.
rrjr, to support and defend the rights of the church.
here, wadi will, my deer sons, that the church
stands in toast of no men s help in amnion of her
spiritual sovereignty ; for, being therein directly
protested and enlightened by Gat far from requiring the
aid of the powers of the earth, it is she who upholds na-

tions and empires. But since it has pleased God, in the
present dispensation of his Providence, that, for the fees
exercise of her spiritual sovereignty, she should also
temporal power, it le this latter power, my, very deer
that you are called to defend in its iutegnty. Crest and
glorious mission! As for myself, if I mu persecuted, that
is not a reason why I should be abandoned. God, who hold.,
in his heads the rights of sovereigns sad of nations, protects
me, and his defence, I em certain, will never fail. You
will defend me, you who for thin purpose have come to
this centre, to this capital of the catholic world. With
this intention (con questo intendassente ), my dear 40115. I
raise my hands to heaven to bless you, and also your
families.
