ROMAN REPUBLIC.--COMMISSION OF TIIE BARRICADES

"People!—To the new dispatches of General Oudinot,
he Assmbly, the Triumvirate, the General of the Na-
ioual Guard, Sturhinetti, and the General-in-Chief,

. _
Riselli, have repeated the old answer, 6 Home does not
prpetrato vileness; go on with your bvinhardmeg.' At
this moment your Rome is haw baptised capital of Itall;k
itt was the prophecy of Napoleon, ankhis nephew wor-
thily fulfils it. . .

" To save this capital of Italy vie vs ill gladly burn and
bury suburbia villas and delicious retreats;
,then may wo
not well stand by undisturbed when les rzagnitident
ruins are made by these most Christian' bombs? To
prove that they may advisedly be 83 called, the, Papal
seal was last night seen on the table of Oudinot, at his
headquarters st Villa Santucci, not yet at Villa Paratili,
whence, however, perhaps fur a strategic purpose, he pre-
tended to date his last dispatches. One falsehood the
more.

" Let all who have courage, and wi.:ll to slay an
enemy, be ready with their muskets. But, for obaritfs
sake, let them not bo impatient; let them wait till the
enemy is at hand, and the discharge will be be sure to
prevent his flight. When the breach is open, let a crowd
enter, and than let each do his duty. Grape•sho,, 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,
" CERNIISCHI, " CATTABENI.
" ANDREINI, " CALDEBI."
" ROMAN REPUBLIC.—MINISTER OF WAR AND MARINE.

Romans!—When the country is in the;enemy's grasp,
every citizen ought to arm himself for defence, and to
offer 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 loves
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 Gains who dishonour France have hoped to find
in us the credulity of Abcls; they have envied the purity
of our wattrs, the smiles of our shy, the richness of our
fields. They have made 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 and virtue is stored in this land, where
every stone reminds us of a hero, where baseness is im-
possible, where sacrifice fur 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 popolo) will organize
you in companies, and will insure that your hands
should be useful for the w ell-ordered defence of the
sacred walls of Rome. Arise, all of you; There is nu
menace or danger which can stop the generous. Fear is
unknown to Roman breasts. The very ruins will form
a monument of glory for a free people. Arise all—rise
es one man! L?t Rime bu Rome!

" The Minister of War and Marine,

"June 13, 1849."

" G UISEPPE 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, Le
dates one of his dispatches from the Villa
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 1.i3 head-qearters are at Villa
Santucci. Ills pests at ronternolli were on the 13th
driven across the Tiber, with considerable loss, by
Anclor.r. The French continue to throw bombs and
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, aho will go down to posterity as
the Attila of the 19th century.
