ROME, JULY IL
The mortal fond betweee. trench and Roman
soldiers, which has kept the city in agitation for the
last fortnight, was apparently brought to a conclu-
sion an Wednesday, which, being the festival of St.
Peter, was selected for a day of peacemaking and
rejoicing. A dinner was prepared at the Villa
Cellini for the non-commissioned officers of the
various regiments of the garrison, French and indi-
genous, between whom harmony was soon restored,
tad progressively strengthened with every course.
General de Goyon's precautionary measures were,
however, . not slackened, and in the evening
he ordered a strong force to be stationed
in detachments throughout the city, especially
in the neighbourhood of the Piazza del Popolo,
where pickets occupied the corners of all the streets,
to be prepared for any row that might take place on
the occasion of the girandola fireworks. Everything
went off in perfect quiet, with the exception of a
civilian who attempted to drive in at the gate of the
Popolo just before the fireworks, and was otherwise
insolent to the French officer on guard, thus afford-
ing an opportunity for carrying out the general's
order, that not only Roman soldiers, but also any
citizens, fighting with or insulting French soldiers,
should be arrested forthwith, taken to the Castle of
Bt. Angelo, and tried by court martiaL In the present
cave the offender is not a Roman at all, although
long established in the city, and one of the principal
tradesmen of the Piazza di Spagua. He is now
lodged in the Castle of St. Angelo. The assemblage
of spectators at the girandola was unusually meagre,
in consequence of a
.general apprehension of some
uproar, which was in no degree dispelled by the
unwonted display of military force, and the absence
of the military bands which are usually in attendance
on this occasion. The girandola was designed by
the government architect, Vespignani, and was
tolerably successful ; but on the following after-
noon a violent whirlwind passed over Rome, and over-
threw the whole of the massive scaffolding erected
for the fireworks, the falling beams destroy-
ing the solid stone balustrades on the summit of the
Pincian Hill. The hurricane presented the appear-
ance of a dark thunder-cloud, dense with dust ; its
course Wlll from E.N.E. to 8.5. W., and it committed
much damage where it passed, especially on the
Aventine Hill, where several trees were torn up by
the mote. _ _ _

The Marchese Campana was tried on Saturday,
the 26th ultimo, before the criminal tribunal, but
no decision was come to by the judges, who not
finding the accusation of the government pro-
secutor for peculation sufficiently proved, re-
quested him to present some more conclu-
sive arguments. This suspension of judgment
'is, of course, considered favourable to the Marquis,
and hie:advocate is universally landed for his able
defence, in which be scornfully rejects the idea of
his client's having done any criminal act, as his debt
with the Monte di Pietit was an acknowledged one,
foe which he had given ample security, and paid
regular interest, with the knowledge and consent of
the Minister of Finance and Secretary of State, as
well as the cashiers and authorities of the Monte it-
self. It is generally admitted that if the negotiations
for the sale of the Diarchese's museum had not failed
thisspring, there would have been no talk about pecu-
lation. or criminal abuse of authority, as the
government took great interest in the proceedings,
and had given instructions beforehand as to the
mode in which the price of the Marchese's precious
collection was to be transferred from the coffers of
the Baron de Rothschild into those of the Monte di
Pieti. The most celebrated advocates of Naples,
Tuscany, and other ports of Italy have replied to an
appeal for their legal opinions, on the part of the
Marchese's advocate, by sending in decisions favour-
able to the defendant, inasmuch as they consider his
liabilities as simple debts, not bringing him at all
under the jurisdiction of the criminal tribunal. On
Monday next the tribunal is to give judgment
definitively.
