ITALY.

The following proclamations have been published
in Rome :
" ROMAN REPUBLIC.-COMMISSION OF THE BARRICADES.
"People!—To the new dispatches of General Oudinot,
the Assembly, the Triumvirate, the General of the Na-
tional Guard, Sturbinetti, and the General-in-Chief,
Roselli, have repeated the old answer, ' Rome does not
perpetrate vileness; go on with your bombardment.' At
this moment your Rorne is being baptised capital of Italy;
it was the prophecy of Napoleon, and his nephew wor-

thily fulfils it.-
" To save this capital of Italy we will gladly burn and
bury suburban villas and delicious retreats; then may we
not well stand by undisturbed when less magnificent
ruins are made by these most Christian bombs? To
prove that they may advisedly be so called, the Papal
seal was last night seen on the table of Oudinot, at his
head-quarters at Villa Santucci, not yet at Villa Paufili,
whence, however, perhaps for a strategic purpose, be pre-
tended to date his last ditpatelres, - One falsehood the
more. ‘-

" Let all who have courage, and wish to slay an
enemy, be ready with their muskets. But, for charity 'a
sake, let them not be impatient; let them wait till the
enemy is at hand, and the discharge will be bo sure to
prevent his flight. When the breach is open, let a crowd
enter, and then let each do his duty. Grape-shot, the
musket, and the pike. Let the few who are afraid hide
themselves and be silent ; they will help afterwards to

shout for the victory.
"The Representatives of the People,
" CERNITSCHI, " CATTABENI.
ANDREINI, CALDESI."

ROMAN REPUBLIC.-MINISTER OF WAR AND MARINE.

Romans!—When the country is in theg.enemy's grasp,
every citizen ought to arm himself for defence, and to
off, r himself as a soldier. There is neither condition nor
rank which can dispense from the sacred duty of repulsing
the enemy from our houses, from the tombs of our fathers,
from the sacred monuments bequeathed to us by the
grandeur of our ancestors. Let the women and children,
for whose sake the feeble-minded excuse themselves
from combating, command every one who truly lows
them to do his best towards a heroic defence. Every
man capable of bearing arms is base and cowardly if he
does not fight.
"The Cains who dishonour France have hoped to find

in us the credulity of Abels; they have envied the purity
of our waters, the smiles of our sky, the richness of our
fields. They have mad© an appeal to the people, in-
viting it to a shameful suicide. The people replies by
arms. France and all nations shall see what a treasure
of greatness end virtue is stored in this land, where
every stone reminds us of a hero, where baseness is im-
pos,ible, where sacrifice for our country is but a common
matter.
" Citiz,ns! I call upon you to assemble speedily in
your respective districts, armed with muskets, pikes,
knives, or anything that can serve to destroy a disloyal
foe? The chiefs of the people (capi popoio) will organize
you in companies, and will insure that your hands
should be useful for the well-ordered defence of the
sacred walls of Rome. Arise, all of you; There is no
menace or danger which can stop the generous. Fear is
unknown to Roman breasts. The very ruins will form
a monument of glory f.r a free people. Arise all—rise
as one man! Let Rome be Rome!
" The Minister of War and Marine,
" June 13, 1849." " GUISEPPE AVEZZANA."

It is said that very little reliance can be placed
on the dispatches of General OUDINOT, who is guilty
of the grossest misrepresentations ; for instance, he
dates one of his dispatches from the Villa Pamfili,
wishing to have it believed that he was in quiet pos-
session of that post, and had there established his
head quarters, whereas he has never been in quiet
possession of it, and his head-quarters are at Villa
Santucci. His posts at Pontemolli were on the 13th
driven across the Tiber, with considerable loss, by
ARCIOLI. The French continue to throw bombs and
shells into the city, and great fears are entertained
lest the libraries and museums of art should be de-
stroyed. Several of the public buildings have
already suffered from the Vandalic proceedings of the
Gallic barbarian, who will go down to posterity as
the Attila of the 19th century.
On the 15th the beautiful Villa Mcnina was dc•

stroyed by the French. So strong is the feeling of the
Romans against them, that even women and children
have 'taken up arms. A young married woman was
killed on the 19th, fighting courageously against the
Ancona French invaders.
