ITALY.

Intelligerce has been received from Rome of tl
9th. GARIBALDI has marched into the Neapolitan
territory, and the consequence lees been that the Nea-
politans have been forced to abandon Frascati au
several other places on the Roman territory, and t°,
fall back, in order to provide for the defence e 4
Naples against the advance of GARIBALDI.
Pius IX., on learning the resistance of the Roman
is said to have declared that he would not return t 0
Rome at such a price, and to have sent a message in
consequence to the King of NAPLES and to Gener
OUDINOT to induce them to retire.
It was reported iu Rome that the Spaniards iga
been defeated and dispersed at Fiuruinico by tl-0
soldiers of the Roman Republic.
The Roman Monitore of the Bth denies the repo
that an armistice had been concluded, or that one vs' 0
about to be concluded.
Le Positivo says General OUDINOT had informed
the Neapolitans and Spaniards there was nothing f'9r
them to do at Rome, the French Government co"
ceiving it a point of honour to finish the business they
had commenced.
The same journal publishes a note to the Catholic
powers, dated the 7th, and signed by RUSCONI, goral
Minister of Foreign Affairs. After observing that
the Roman question, hitherto a political one, has OW
assumed a religious character, and that all Eurelle
conspires to impose a detested power upon three
millions of men, who have declared it for ever
faller),
this document proceeds to state that a great peePle'
recalling its old traditions of glory, has shaken .off i°
slumber, and awoke to the life of nations. If the :Prince
whom Europe would restore at Rome were, like
many others, the mere inheritor of vulgar privilegts'
the consequences of the struggle would be limited t°
a greater or lesser number of victims ; were tb e task
Europe assumes a mere question of independence
or servitude, it might be loaded with maleetiationel
but still the moral interests of the human race evoulu
not suffer. But the actual object of Europe shalees the
edifice of religion to its very foundations, and crush°
faith in thousands of hearts. The whole state cefEol,ll:3
has declared the do wnfal of the temporal power of Of
PONTIFF ; and, though under the menace of a Frerow'
an Austrian, and a Neapolitan invasion, all the 0111'
nicipalities have boldly protested against its restore'
tion. Is this the mere voice of a faction
The consequence is, that many believe°
now ask themselves whether he who eer,e;
marts a religion of peace, has a right
re-assert temporal power by force of axrc,:
and as it is easy to confound the doctrine with
apostle, many begin to doubt the truth of eeligil
in consequence of the acts of its head, and cans
i%
conceive how a religion that once redeemed the vver'ti
from slavery is now changed into a weapon ire:rodeo
to transform free men into slaves. " Let E trope,
says the document in conclusion, " reflect bef)re ewe
e
proceeds; the struggle is no longer between ce4
army and another, but it is a struggle that embrfolet
a whole moral world of ideas, hopes, and faith, tll¢
may have an echo in the most distant generations.
Lord NAPIER is in Rome, for the purpose of afford'
; ing protection to British subjects and British
perty. The Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Itu'ro
man Republic grants passports to all the Engtish "1
desire them. Lord NAPIER and the British C 01340
FREEBORN are much praised for the protection trey

. _
afforded their countrymen.
The Romans have levelled to the ground evetle
tenement that embarrassed or encumbered the Tile
range of musketry round the walls of Rome. Theis
is the English chapel outside the gate Del Popo"
which alone they have allowed to stand inviolate.
