"Several journals, in announcing that General

which there is nothing to warrant. The Emperor
simply wished to place the title of the commander
of the French forces on a level with his real
position. This does not, however, alter the cha-
racter of our mission at Rome, which is essentially
pacific and protective."

following :—" A report made by the commander
of the 7th military division, states that no detach-

confined himself to taking up a position at the
extremity of the French frontier, in order to
