The Roman journals of the 15th contain a notifica-
tion informing the public that the Roman bank-notes,
to which the Republican Government had given a
forced currency, will continue to enjoy that privilege
for another year. They will be received in payment
at the public offices, the Government reserving to
itself a right of reimbursement on the capital of the
Bank.

A letter from Naples, in the Unicers, says:—
" The fete of December 8 was exceedingly brilliant.
The people and the troops manifested in the most
enthusiastic manner their sentiments of devotedness
to the Pope. There were about 12,000 troops col-

lected on the public square at the moment that the
POPE. after having said mass, gave his benediction.
The KING was most gracious towards General
BARAGIJAY D'HILLIURS, whom he kept by his side
whilst the troops filed off. Fourteen Cardinals were
present at the ceremony. Two of them left today
for their dioceses of Viterbo and Corneto. It appears
that there is some agitation at the former place. .M.
DE RATNEVAL is still confined to bed with gout."

The KING of Sardinia has addressed the following
order of the day to the National Guards of Turia :
" Officers and soldiers of the National Guard,—Your
presence under arms on the solemn occasion of
opening of Parliament is the expression of my thong
—namely, the exercise of liberal institutions as the
foundation of the happiness of the people. All my
cares aro turned to this object. You have never refused
your assisiance in maintaining order; you have not
ceased to give proofs of affection and devotedness to the
throne and my family. My gratitude and affection
towards you shall never cease, be sure of it. I address
these words to you all who have assembled at Turin. I
wish they may be heard by all the National Guards of
the kingdom, with whom you form but one family, and
in whom I have the same confidence. Officers and sol-
diers, continue to fulfil your duties as you have hitherto
done; let order and liberty be your motto, and I shall
always be with you, as my son is from this moment in
your ranks.

" VICTOR EMMANUEL.

" Given at Turin, Dec. 20,"
The Chamber of Deputies met on the 21st inst.,
under the presidency of its senior member, M.
FILASCEIINI. The number of elections known was
196, but 14 being double, there were only 182 depu-
ties returned. Several who were not present at the
royal sitting were sworn in, after which the As-
sembly retired into its standing committees.
The Statuto of Florence has the following letter
from Rome of the 17th :
" We are expecting a change of policy on the part
of the Govenment. It seems that even the most ob-
stinate are yielding to the dictates of common sense.
We learn from Portici that the Pope has sent for Car-
dinal Lambruschini, and offered him the snpreme direc
tion of the state. The Cardinal is reported to have
answered that he had been minister under Gregory
XVI., and that ho was opposed to a Constitution, but
that he was obliged to confess that now it was impos-
sible to refuso it."
The Roman Oilerver of the 15th inst. announces
the conclusion of a loan with France.

The same journal quotes a letter from Rieti, of the
10th inst., from which we extract the following :
"At 10 o'clock this morEing our Spanish garrison
left La Marittima; one company of infantry has remained
to await the arrival of the troops from Umbria to em-
bark with them. It is probable that Neapolitan soldiers
will replace the Spaniards in the Sabina and the portion
of 'Umbria which extends to Spoletto. This, at least,
seems to be the consequence of the accumulation of
Neapolitan troops on the Pontifical frontier."
The Costituzionale Toscano publishes the follow-
ing, under date Leghorn, 18th inst. :
" The steamer Madrid has just arrived from Civita
Vecchia. ller passengers mention as certain the con-
clusion of the Roman affair. The Pope, they say, is
to re establish the Constitution, as it existed when he
left Rome. The amnesty is to be extended, and,
by a mutual agreement among the auxiliary Powers,
5,000 Spaniards are to occupy Rome, 10,000 French
Civita Vecchia, and 10,000 Austrians Ancona and the
Legations."
Letters from Venice of the 17th announce that the
Italian Tyrol is to be united to the Lombardo-Vene-
tian kingd)m.
