en Umbria and the Marches,in accordance
with King Victor Emmanuel's proclamation pub-
lished yesterday. The following statements, of au
earlier date, will show the previous events and state
of affairs in the insurgent provinces under the
Pope's titular dominion. A letter from Turin,
dated the filth, iu the Cotietitatioand, says :
Since yesterday evening despatch alter despatch has
reached us, announcing the tepid extenidon of the maurrec.
lion. I have already mentioned to you that the movement
commenced at Pesaro, and that 400 citizens drove out the
troops of General de Lamoriciere. This was the signal fora
struggle in all the Marches. At Moutefeltro, Urbino, and
several other plumes, the insurrectionary standard was raised
amidst cries for Italy and Victor Emmanuel. The chief
of the insurrection is Prince Simonetti, • large land-
owner, and the most highly-respected in the
Marches. He has foe some time past resided at Bologna,
where he was chosen deputy at the last elections. As
aeon as the agitation commenced iu his own country, be
thought it his duty to joinin it, and he immediately hastened
into the midst of the people, who, if left to themselves,
would perhaps have given to their movement a character of
disorder and of violence, which his authority alone will pre.
vent. Umbria has already followed the example of the
Marches. These two countries declare themselves to be
bound together by a community of suffering and of hopes.
The iasurrection of Umbria tint manifested itself at
Orvieto. which is at only a very short distance from the
Tuscan frontier of Piedmont.
A Turin letter of the !kb, in the Meek, has the
following :
Count dells Minerva received yesterday; on leaving
Turin, • sealed letter, which he was ordered not to open
before he reached Leghorn. On arriving there, and opening
the note, which was the ultimatum addressed to Cardinal
Antoueth, the count, finding. no steamer ready to sail for
Civita Vecchia, decided on going by land, as we learn from
n_private despatch received at the ministry this morning.
The Sardinian envoy will probably reach Rome this day,
arid the answer to the ultimatum will no doubt YOOll be
known. The count's IlliAloll has assumed a much greater
importance owing to the insurrection which has broke out
in the Marches, and which is spreading with great rapidity.
The detachments of the Pontifical nunbiniers have been
obliged to fall back on the body of the army.
A correspondent from the Marches,writing to the
Espero of Turin, exposes the infamous kind of war-
fare prepared to be waged by the reactionary party
against the revolted provinces.
After a conference held at the resideni4 of Cardinal
Deangelis at Fermo by the delegates of /moll, and Mace-
reel, they resolved to organise a irrigantarvio from among
the mountaineers of 1849, who were to be given the old
name of " centurions." After this resolutioa Si. de Savigny,
a Vendean, General Lamoriciere's aide-de-camp, arrived
from Macerate for the purpose of putting himself at the
head of these knights of the highway, and then almost im-
moliately they proceeded together with the delegate and
secretary of police to Acquaaanta. When they got there
they sent fur the brigand chiefs. After that they again
assembled at Santa Maria, • place near Acquaganta, where
they dined, and then made the requisite arrangements.
What is known of therm, as vet, in as follows :
1. Eight companies, each 150 strong, in all 1,200, aro to
he formed, to ho organised by the aforesaid chiefs under the
direction of M. de Savigny. 2. They are to be hi the
brigand costume, with a white or yellow belt to bold their
pistols, awl each man is to have • musket. Twelity-sve
cases of musket. have already arrived at Ascoli for arming
them, and also several barrels full of cartridges. 3. There
bands of countrymen are to come from the mountain, and
after each nun had received his musket they will all be
posed in review by Si. de Saviguy, and they are then to
make a demonstration with the cry of " Long live Pio
None! Death to Garibaldi ! Death to Victor Emmanuel !"

All the citizens are indignant at this infamous
compact, and even those mud devoted to the go-
vernment condemn it as not only calculated to dis-
turb the peace, but also to encourage robberies and
disorders in the rural districts, just as they were
committed in 1849 by the same gentry.
It appears that Gen. Lamorictere, being in a des-
perate plight,wants to make use of these ruffians to
increase his strength and wage a guerilla warfare
in the Apennines.
These shameful proceedings ought to be made
known to the whole world through the public press,
that every one may nisi how a government, calling
itself paternal, makes use of vile and barbarous
weans, the object of which can only be slaughter
and

It is positive that M. de Savigny has taken the
command of these robber bands, and means to use
them for military purposes.
Another correspondent, under date of Rimini,
Sept. 8, 2 p.m., gives us the following particulars :
Whilst 1 ant writing to you a fierce and sanguinary
iu-
aumction has broken out against the Papal troops. Monte-
feltro rose in arms this morning. The insurgent* sad de-
tchments of volunteers, hurrying from all ports to swell
the ranks of the emigrant*, are concentrating all their
strength in order to occupy l'fbiun. At loglin en encoun-
ter hos already taken place, in which our men defeated the
Papal troops and pat them to night.
Perhaps other mountain-towns and coast-towns will re-
volt before many days are over.
General bamoriciZ,re, says the Ar.c.ionr, is collect-
ing the main body of the Papal forces between
Spoleto and Turui. The state of the Marches anti
the Umbria, oppressed as these are in a thousand
ways by the ferocious licentiousness of the adven-
turers, is daily getting worse.
A significant commentary is supplied by these
facts upon the diatribes with which the Jtomitical
and Legitimist organs have begun to assail King
Victor Emmanuel, rince he has decided, at the
urgent entreaty of the tits:rem:est population of
Urbino and the Marches, to extend to them the
protection of au Italian army, and to expel Lamm-
ricii?re and the 18,000 or 20,000 foreign merce-
naries under his command from the country they
have been threatening to ravage with fire and
sword. The Union., criticising in its own irrational
style the King's proclamation, brings forward
against the term " foreigners," au argument which
Las been already used, but not considered of much
weight :

Cayour aware that no Christian is a to:v*l*r at Rome?--
that ROMA is the country of all who are proud to belong to

suverogu in any other Roman catholic country? Must we
remind a minister of the house of Savoy that the Pope has
dirfused over the Italian soil, over Pieamont especially, more
power, liberty, anti glory, than be has ever received from
any one, even from the most faithful one, even front the
most faithful monarchs of the Sardinian d) nasty ? Does a
statesman who owes everything to the Freuch.allianco re-
quire to be told that at Rome, Frames, the devoted sad
eldest daughter of the church—that at Reins Frame is Dot

has never allowed any one to invade that domestic

The writer to the end refuses to believe that the
King can carry out his toenacel invasion—a sup-
position which the intelligeneti we have 'since re-
ceived shows to be erroneous.

The following description of the Papal States is
of interest at this niouient :
geforc the war of Italy the States of the church were
divided into four legations, not ometim.! the •liptdct of
Rome. The first comprising the provinces of 1:01.r,,ma,
Fe' ram, Forti, and Ravenna, were culled Homages'. They
have been annexed to Piedmont. The second consisted of
the provinces of Urbino, Pesaro, Itacemta, Loreto, Alumna,
Fenno, Aseoli, and Carnerims, aud are commonly called the
Starches. They have on the north ltotnagna, on the east
the Adriatic, ou the south the Kingdom of .Israph...s, and on
the west by Tuscany and the provitmes of Simleto and
Perugia. They separate Romaima from the Neapolitan
Statm. The third legation consists of the provinces of
!4poleto, Perugia, sod Rieti ; the first two constitute what
is idled Umbria. The town of Foligeo, which is in
Perugia, is the Fulginium of the ancients. The fourth
legatos comprises the provinces of Velletri, Frosinone, sod
Benevento ; the latter, however, is surrounded by Nes.
la.liten territory. The district of Rome. which is placed
under a special r lime, clesiats of that city, of Viterbo,
