PARIS

Wednesday.—All the accounts from the
theatre of the war agree that the conduct of Colonel
Cambriels, who, at the head of a battalion of the 74th,
aided by the Piedmontese cavalry, arrested the
passage of the Austrian columns on the 20th, was
most heroic. IHs gallantry has been rewarded as
it deserves. He is promoted to the rank of General
of Brigade, the brigade of General Beuret, who was
killed in that combat, being placed under his orders.

A letter from Rome of the 21st instant informs us
that incessant attempts were made by the revolu-

of the Pope to revolt.
Archbishop Cullen arrived in Paris on Saturday on
his return from Rome. He took up his quarters at
the Hotel Le Bon Lafontaine, in the Rue Grenelle
St. Germain, the favourite resort of the clergy ; but
removed subsequently to the Trish College in the
Rue des Irandais. He intended starting for Ireland
on Monday, but was prevented by indisposition. He
leaves here to-day or to-morrow. A rich crucifix,
containing a portion of the true cross, has been
presented to him by the Pope, and several persons
have been already to the Irish College to view it.
