The Giornale di Roma, of the 28th ult., publishes
the following order of the day from General RosTo-
LAN to the French army at Rome :
" Soldiers,—The confidence of our Government calls
me to the command-in chief of the army. My first
thought must be for the General to whom I succeed.
In separating from you he was pleased to pay a new
tribute of praise to your discipline, your valour, and
the services you have rendered. I here thank him in
your name and mine for the sentiments he bae
expeessed. From the beginning of this campaign
you have been put to severe trials, you have
boldly suffered serious privations and defied every danger.
A war at first unforeseen, and then a mad resistance
forced you to destroy the walls of Rome, and to enter as
conquerors. Thus you have fulfilled the most difficult
and glorious part of your duty. Still the mission which
the Government confided to your arms has not yet com-
pletely ceased. The army will continue to occupy the
city and the quarters of Rome. Its position, which
hitherto has been completely provisional, will be mo-
dified according to the necessities of a more stable
occupation. I shall neglect no means in order to
secure your comfort, and maintain you in the post you
have gained. Your conduct, your moderation, your
generosity, have conciliated the affection of all the
inhabitants, the sympathies of a whole people, and even
the esteem and respect of those who were your enemies.
For such conquests your country will be grateful
to you because they increase the glory of your arms,
and extend in this country the influence of France.
Soldiers! I do not conceal the importance of the new
duties imposed upon me; I calculate on every occasion
upon your attachment and upon your confidence in order
to facilitate the fulfilment of them.
"The General-in-Chief, ROSTOLAN.
" ROMP, August 27."
The Tera Liberta of Bologna, of the 28th ult.,
states that on the preceding night a band of l 6 rob-
bers attacked the villa Tattini, pillaged it, thence pro-
ceeded to the house of the curate, and other houses,
and laid them under contribution, and lastly at 7 a.m.
attacked a diligence on the high road of Tuscany.
Troops had been dispatched alter them, but as yet
without result. . . _

The following proclamation was published at
Venice, on the 28th :
" To the inhabitants of Venice and Chioggia, and of
the places comprised in the Estuary,—The faction, which
by deceit, corruption, and terror has ruined Venice and
the surrounding places, lately so flourishing in conse-
quence of the batefits showered upon them by the muni-
ficence of the Sovereign, being at last overthrown, I, as
civil and military Governor, come among you at the head
of the valourous troops of his Majesty Francis Joseph,
our legitimate Sovereign, for the purpose of bringing
among you the consolation of peace, restoring public order,
and considering the means of healing, as far as possible,
the deep wounds inflicted on public and private prosperity
hv a rash and madly prolonged contest, even when nothing
else could result from it but useless bloodshed and the ruin
of a monumental city. But on passing from a state of ex-
citement and commotion, in which this population has been
too long maintained, to a state of legal order and quiet
life, severe measures are, for the present, indispensable
to guarantee public security; and therefore I have
!hought proper to order as follows;—1, The towns of
Venice and Chioggia, and places comprised in the Es-
tuary are declared is a state of siege, in consequence of
which all powers are concentrated under my authority;
2. The Civic Guard and every other armed body of
whatever denomination aro dissolved, excepting, in so
tar as I shall direct, the armed force of finance and po-
lice; 3. Arms of every description, ammunition, gun-
cotton, and war stores, possessed by individuals or cor-
porations of Venice, Chioggia, or the Estuary, must be
given up to the commissions which will be named for the
I purpose in 48 hours. Every individual is responsible
for himself, and every corporation or representative
of a corporation is responsible for those repre-
sented, for the execution of the present article;
4. Political assemblies, under the names of
clubs, circles, or Casini, are prohibited ; 5. All party
emblems, republican colours, cries, songs, harangues
prints and writings tending to maintain revolutionary
excitement, or to disturb public tranquillity, are also
prohibited. 6. The press is subjected to preventive
censorship. 7. All public places shall be closed at ten
p.m., and the inhabitants must have retired to their
lodgings at half-past ten. Proper exceptions will bp
made, and licenses granted to physicians and ecclesias-
tics. Transgressions of these articles will be judged
by the military authorities, the Giudijio Statario, or
a Council of War. The Giudijio Statario is applied
to the transgressions against Article the punish-
ment it pronounces is that of being shot within
twenty-fours hours. Tho Council of War judges all
cases relating to Articles 4,5, 6,7, and pronounces
imprisonment from one month to five years, besides a
fine, to be applied to a pious establishment. I trust
this exceptional state may soon cease, in consequence of
the good behaviour of the citizens, and their co-opera
don in repressing the evil intentioned, so that the inha-
bitants of this city may enjoy, under the constituted
authorities, the advantages granted by his Imperial
Majesty to hia other subjects,
" The Civil and Military Governor,
" GOIISKOWBaI.

" Venice, Aug. 28, 1849."
Two other proclamations of the same date are re-
lating to the details of the preceding one, and in the
enforcement of former decrees published in Lombardy
during the revolution.
By a decree of the 28th ult., the Duke of PARMA
has pardoned all prisoners condemned to less than
three months' imprisonment, remitted their fines, and
granted a general pardon to all Parmese officers and
soldiers condemned for defection.

MA RLBRO'-STREET-( THIS DAY).
COWARDLY ASSAULT.—Mr. Victor Lesaunier, an im-
porter of French goods, carrying on business at No. 1,
Little Knightrider-street, was placed before Mr. Hard-
wick, charged with having assaulted Mr. Louis Pillvot,
interpreter at the Prince of. Wales Hotel, Leicester-
place, Leicester-square.
The complainant, whose face was much bruised and
swollen, deposed that about twelve o'clock on the previous
night he was in a public-house in Market-street, Hay-
, market, taking some refreshment, when the prisoner,
whom he never saw before, entered, and immediately
began to quarrel with the company, but more particularly
with witness, whom he challenged to come out and fight
in the street. Complainant declined having anything to
do with him, when the defendant said " he was an Eng-
lishman and a gentleman, and would kick every
Frenchman out of the house." Witness told him if he
was an English gentleman he would not make use of
such filthy language. The prisoner then took a thick
stick which he bad in his band and struck witness several
severe blows over the face and eyes, and then ran away.
Complainant pursued him, calling out " Stop thief," as
far as the corner of Jermyn-street, where he was stopped,
and given in charge to a constable who at that moment
was passing.
The prisoner, who made a rambling defence, was fined
51., and in default to be committed for two months.

ARRIVAL OF LOLA MONTES (MRS. HEALD) AND
HER HUSBAND IN LONDON.—Mr. and mrs. Heald, who
have been on a continental tour, arrived in London about
eleven o'clock last night, and immediately drove to their
residence in Half•Moon•street, Piccadilly► As they
were not expected, Co preparations had been made for
their arrival, and they therefore drove to Patterson'i
Hotel, but, in consequence of the house being full of
company, they were under the necessity of returning to
their own residence in Half-Moon-street. It is eolith
dently expected that Mrs. Heald will make her appear-
ance at Marlborough•street Police•court, on Monday
next, to meet the charge of bigamy preferred against her
by Mrs. Heald, the aunt of Lieutenant Heald, at whose
sole instigation these proceedings are carried on. Owing
to the short period that has elapsed since the first exa•
mination took place, it will be almost impossible for any
evidence to be produced from India, where Captain
James, the former husband of Mrs. Heald, is with his
regiment.

friendship in a world where friendship is so rare.,,-Eliza
