ROME. AUGUST 19.
(EXTRACT FROM A Num& LETTER.)

The measure of forming treaties of peace with
some brigands, and opposing them to their com-
rades, hus not well succeeded. The delegation of
Froisinone has made a Report, containing chat
follows :

" The Conimiseary of Police, Rotoli, and the Chief of the
Brigands included within the Act of Amnesty, Musoeco,
who had been sent with eighteen men against Isis ancieut
comrades, proceeded to Prossedi, the birth-place of the bandit
chief de Cesaris, an old galley slave, to negociate • capi-
tulation with hie•. They had agreed that the two par-
ties should meet without arms and without attendants.—
but de C-saris bad his suspicious, and believed t►at Ha-
etteco's people sere placed in ambush in the neighbourhood.
He declared that he could not go to Promedi, but he invited
the negotiators to come to • field of olives near the city.
They went thither after ann-set, by the light of the moon.
But scarcely had they arri►ed when Roush and hlasocco fell
dead, having been shot from an abuseade. tiasucco's peo-
people ran up and fired in turn on their adversaries, of
whom they thought they womsded several. This baud,
wherein there were some of the friends of Hasocco, marched
to Prossedi, opened the prisms., and massacred nine per-
sons of different sex and age, friends of Cesar lig, and who
hail been committed there as hostages. The band then die-
appeared, but some or them have returned to Rome to sur-
render a•ew. From sixty to seventy men of the troop have
been sent to Froisinone as • reinforcement, but very little
service is expected from them. The chiefs of the three armed
forces, the carabiueen or gendarmerie, the troupe of the
lane, and the provincial militia, are divided between them,
which pa►alises their operations."

Intelligence lists been received that the plague is
making terrible ravages at Scutari, in Albania.
From 100 to ISO men die there every day. Severe
orders of quarantine have been issued along the
coasts of the Adriatic.

The Clergy in the Principality of Lucca have
been claimed from all imposts. They have also
been exempted from the jurisdiction of the ordi•
nary tribunals, civil and criminal.
A number or straii,gers are announced for the
*inter, and the rents of houses rise. The purchase
of houses is a good speculation at Rome.
