ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the 29th ult., thus describes
the state of that city :
" It would be difficult to paint the state of disorder
that resigns here. We have six sorts of police—Oudi-
not's police ; de Corcelle's police ; de R tyneval's police;
Gaeta police ; Rostolan's police ; and the police of the
Roman re-acdonisis. As all work on their own separate
account, the arrests are daily numerous and inexplicable.
Every cardinal and little monseigneur has a claim on
the French fur arrests, which is never refused. Who-
ever hates the return of the priests is liable to incarcera-
tion, and who does not ? Even the moderate men have
become disgusted with the reign of terror. We have
returned to the worst days of Gregory, even to the
inquisition ! And what have the French gained ? At
Gaeta they are more and more distrusted. The po-
pulation of Rome keep apart and show them a natural
antipathy, and the priests knowing into what embarrass-
ments they (the French) have thrown themselves, will
make no concession ; so that after the waste of so much
blood and treasure, neither glory nor influence has been
gained."

A second letter of the 31st ult. states that it
is openly declared that the POPE will return on
the 15th.

GARIBALDI has succeeded in escaping from the
Austrians. He embarked on the 2d instant, at eight
o'clock in the morning, on board some fishing vessels,
accompanied by between two and three hundred of
his followers, at Cedenatico, a small port of the
Adriatic, situated between Rimini and Ravenna. It
is not known whether he has gone to Venice or
Corfu. The Austrian general has taken the rest of
GARIBALDI'S men prisoners. Upwards of 1,000 of
them have already reached Bologna, and the rest will
be distributed among the other towns garrisoned by
the Austrians.

The treaty between Austria and Sardinia was, as
we stated yesterday, signed at Milan on the 6th ; and
on the same day, previous to the signature of the
treaty, the Austrian Government, and the Dukes of
PARMA and MoDENA, proclaimed an amnesty.
The Concordia contains the following intelligence
from Venice :

" On the Light of the 29th ult. the Venetians surprised
a strong advanced post of the Austrians, attacked it at
the point of the bayonet, killed 50 men, disabled 37, and
seiz.ll a large quantity of provisions. About the same
time a Venetian flotilla was escorting a large supply of
provisions from the lonian Islands, when it was attacked
off the Venetian Gulf by the Imperial flvet, which, after
a most obstinate conflict, was obliged to take refuge at
Trieste. The flotilla then triumphantly entered the
lagoons, to the joy of the Venetians, who had already
begun to suffer from want of provisions. At present
flour, corn, wine, and fresh meat are plentiful. The
blockade by land is:(says the Concordia) as good as raised,
the Austrians having considerably extended its limits,
after their fruitless efforts of the 28th, 29th, and 30th
ult. In their retreat they have left a large quantity of
projectiles behind them."

LOUIS BLANC'S NEW JOURNAL

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—It was only yesterday that a friend called
at my house with a number of your journal in his
hand and consternation depicted on his face. I
thought some great catastrophe had occurred to
persons or things connected with me by the bonds of
affection or interests. A catastrophe it must be in-
deed, if the reviewer attached to your publication,
having carefully perused the first number of the
review with which I have the honour of being con-
nected as editor, has declared in the truth of his
conscience, guided by a sound judgment, that the
.New World has been guilty of "a ferocious onslaught
on Order, _Family, and Property."
Those among your readers who may have chanced
to glance at Al. L. Blanc's review, must have felt the
same astonishment as myself, not to use a harsher
expression ; for they must have seen, that far from
attacking those three sacred bases of society, M. Louis
Blanc has inscribed their names on his banner, as the
watchwords of the social reform he advocates. And
when you, Sir, come to :consider that it is a
champion in the same cause as your own, the cause of
liberty for all, who has thus been most wan-
tonly attacked in your journal, I feel confident
you will regret this unhappy attack, which can only
be founded on those abominable calumnies industri-
ously circulated by M. L. Blanc's unrelenting ene-
mies. At all events, I most emphatically challenge
your reviewer to quote a single line, nay, a single
word, justifying, in the remotest degree, his unquali-
fied assertion.—l remain, Sir, your most obedient
servant,

F. R. TREHONNAIS,
Editor of the New World.
Falmouth, Aug. 9, 1849.
