ANCONA, MAUCH 26.—1 n consequence of the occupa,
tion of part of the United Italian Provinces by the
Austrian troops, and the declaration of their Commander
that he intended to take possession of the rem fining pro-
vinces, the parsons who had assumed the Provisional
Government of those provinces, finding themselves
.in-
volved in an unequal and hopeless contest, thought it
advisable to make propositions, with the view of sparing
the effusion of blood, and guarding against further dis-
orders. They accordingly deputed General Armandi,
Count Cesar Bianchetti, and two others, to treat with
Cardinal Benvenuti, the Pope's Legate-a-latere. The
negociation soon terminated in restoring the provinces (in
the words of the treaty) " to the arms of the Holy
Father." The following are the conditions:—
" 1. The Members of the Provisional Government of '
the United Italian Provinces surrender the Government
of all the provinces at present occupied by national troops
into the hands of Cardinal Benvenuti, who receives the
same in the name of the Holy See.
" 2. The Cardinal pledges his sacred word that no in-
dividual in the Pontifical State, of whatever class or con-
dition, shall be prosecuted, molested, or in any way
troubled, in person or property, on account of past con-
duct or political opinions.
"3. The Cardinal also promises, on his sacred word,
that his Holiness will allow to all foreigners, who have in
any way taken part in the revolution, the period of a
fortnight to depart, unmolested, with their property, from
the Papal territory; and that for this purpose passports
will be given gratis to all such persons. .
" 4. The Cardinal 6rther pledges his sacred word,
that all the civil officers and placemen, employed and in
pay on the 4th of February, throughout the provinces,
shall sustain no injury in their rights on account of their
having served the Provisional Government, or of taking •
part in the revolt.
" 5. With regard to the militia and -the troops of the
line of every description they are to resume the Pontifical
cockade, on notification given by the Cardinal, and will
be continued in the service.

" 6. Passports to be given gr ails, if desired, for any
foreign country, to any of the persons included under
Articles 2,4, 5, if demanded within the period- of a
fortnight.

" 7. As soon as the present document shall be signed,
and the surrender stipulated in the first article com-
pleted, orders will be transmitted to the Pontifical army
to suspend hostilities, and to grant a ten days' truce to
the revolted troops.
"S. The members of the Provisional Government shall
transmit orders to the superior officers of their troops for
the execution of the articles agreed to.
" 9. The Cardinal will, on his part, interpose his good
offices with the Commander of the vanguard of the Au,.
trim troops to grant sufficient time to the troops of the
Provisional Government, to prevent licentiousness and
pres,rve order.
" 10. The Provisional Government wilt give due or-
ders to the national troops to lay down their aims, and in
the mean time to take up such positions as the Austrian
Commander may point out.
" 11. The national troops and volunteers, who are to
be disbanded, shall receive a written route, assuring them
provisions, and the expenses of their journey tO their
homes.

12. Whoever shall contravene these conditions, or *hall
not obey the ostlers issued in conformity therewith, besides
being responsible for such contravention, shall not enjoy
the advantage conceded, and shall be unworthy of the So-
vereign clemency."
Three original copies of the above document were
signed--nne for the Cardinal, a second fur the President
of the Provisional Government, and the third for the De-
puties who negotiated with the Cardinal. These copies
being delivered to the respective parties, the Members of
the Provisional Government made a formal resignation of
their authority to Cardinal Benvenuti.

We have received from Ancona a document, which taken
in connection with the treaty between the Provisional
Gwernment and the Pope's Legate, of which we gave an
account in our paper of yesterday, is of considerable im-
portance. It appears that the leaders of the revolution in
the Papal Sates consider themselves betrayed by Franee,
which, after asserting the principle of non-interference,
has suffered it to be violated by Austria. The publica-
tion of the following notification, and the treaty in our
last, will supply the opposition p irty in France with fresh
arms against the Government of Louis Philippe, for that
Government will not find it easy to persuade the people
that it has not been eittser the dupe or the accomplice of
Metternich in this affair. Our own firm belief is, that
Sebtstiani has been cajoled by the Austrian Minister.
