RuccoNl, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the
Roman Republic, has been dispatched to London, to
solicit the interference of Lord PALMERSTON between
the French and Roman Republics; and General
OUDINOT has promised not to renew his attack on
Rome until the result shall be known. PVCANTINI
accompanies RDSCONI.
It is said that GARIBALDI has determined to follow
up his victory by at once marching upon Naples,
which is totally unprotected, and proclaiming the re-
public in that city.
The Roman Triumvirs have published the follow-
ing decree for the release of the French prisoners :
DECREE OF THE TRIUMVIRS FOR THE LIBERATION
OF FRENCH PRISONERS.—In the name of God and the
people, considering that between the French people and
Rome there is not, nor can exist, a state of war; that
Rome defends her own inviolability as a duty and as a
right, deprecating any offence between the two Re-
publics as a crime against the common faith of both; that
the Roman people do not hold responsible for the deeds
of a deceived Government the soldiers who, in fighting,
obey their orders, the triumvirate decree all the French
soldiers made prisoners on the 30th April are set free,
ar.d will be sent back to the French army. The Roman
people will greet with a fraternal applause and demon-
stration the brave soldiers of the sister French Republic.
May 3. _ _ _

Immediately after the above decree was issued the
French soldiers were seen walking arm-in-arm with
the Romans, previously to marching to their camp.
The conduct of Mazzo' and his colleagues
throughout the late trying scenes has been admi-
rable, and affords a complete refutation of the
calumnies which the titled and sacerdotal reactionaries
have of late so industriously circulated against the
citizens of the Roman Republic.
From Naples we learn the return of the infamous
DEL CARETTO, and of all those who fled in February,
1848. At Gaeta the utmost consternation reign% in
consequence of the defeat of the French and the Nea-
politans. It is possible that GARIBALDI en route for
Naples may pay a visit to the PorE at Gaeta.
The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 12th,
states that Leghorn was attacked on the 10th by the
Tuscan carabineers, only the Austrians forming the
the reserve. After some resistance, the town was
taken with a loss of about 40 killed and 200 wounded.
A rumour was current that 12 of the chiefs had been
shot; but this requires confirmation. The same
journal mentions that the French Ambassador at
Naples, M. D'HARCOURT, hastened to Gaeta imme-
diately on learning the entrance of the Neapolitans
into the Roman states. It was rumoured that this
was for the purpose of protesting against that inter-
vention.

A letter from Ferrara of the 7th, in a Genoa paper,
states that the 4,000 Austrians who had been
bivouacking for some days past between Pontelago,
Scuro, and Ferrara, had not yet entered the town. It
further states that on the 6th the Austrians sent a
deputation to the head of the municipality to ask
whether the council desired the return of the PoPE,
or the maintenance of the Republic ; upon which the
council was summoned, when 3 voted for the POPE,
and 37 for the Republic. The Austrian deputation
having received this answer retired, and proceeded to
Bondeno, some say to Centc. After the above deli-
beration of the council, the six host- ges that had been
taken at Ferrara by the Austrians were set at liberty.
The Bologna Gazette of the 9th gives the details
of the attack upon Bologna by the Austrians on that
day. It began at eight A AL All the inhabitants
were armed, and determined to resist. The town
was barricaded throughout, and a battery of cannon
situated on the Montagnuola, a considerable emi-
nence adjoining the town. Congreve rockets were
thrown into the town by the Austrians, but with little
effect. The attacks were principally directed against
the Galliera, San Felice, and San Gozza gates. The
people repeatedly refused to capitulate.
Later accounts state that the Austrians had occu-
pied three gates, and the suburb of San Michele;
the Bolognese held out on the Montagnola. Presi-
dent Breritou bad fled; the municipality were in

permanence ; a military commission governed the
I town.
The Milan Gazette of the 12th pullishes a procla-
mation, dated the 4th, addressed by Mar dial RADET-
ZKY to the Venetians, in which he demands—last, a
complete and absolute surrender ; 2,1, the surrend,r
of all forts of the town, all materials of war, public
treasury, &c. ; 31, of all arms, whether public or
private. He off-rs in return-4th, the permission to
all persons, without exception, to leave the town
either by sea or by land; sth, a general pardon to all
soldiers and sub-officers of the land and sea forces.
The answer of MANIN, dated the sth, states in sub-
stance that he bad already, on receiving the summons
of Lieutenant-Marshal HAYNAU, dated the 26th
March, consulted the representatives of the Ve-
netian people, who had on the 2d April decreed
resistance to the last, and given him the charge
of it ; and that he can, therefore, give Marshal
RADETZKY no other answer but that. He adds,
that on the 4th April last he (111as:IN) had addressed
notes to the Catimts of England and France, pray-
ing that they might mediate between Austria and
Venice, so that the latter might obtain a suitable
political condition, and that he hopes soon to obtain
communications respecting the friendly interposition
of those powers, more particularly after the new in-
structions he sent to Paris on the 22d. These cir-
cumstances would not exclude the possibility of
treating directly with the Imperial Ministry, it
agreeable. He then leaves it to Marshal RADsizxy
to judge whether hostilities ought to be suspended or
not during the negotiations for peace. To this
answer of MANLN'S, RADETZILY abruptly replies in
another proclamation, dated the 6th, that the Emperor
will never permit the intervention of foreig❑ powers
between himself and his rebellious subjects; that con-
sequently the hopes of the revolutionary government
on that score are vain, and that he regrets being
obliged to make Venice suffer the fate of war.
A letter from Turin of the 13th says :—" A new
treason has been discovered at Venice. An accom•
plice revealed to General PEPE a conspiracy to set
tire to the arsenal, and whilst the troops of the Fort
of Malghera should be occupied in endeavouring to
exinguish the fire the Austrians were to make a
terrible attack on the fort. General PEPE profited
by the discovery. A short time before the hour
fixed for the fire he arrested the traitors, and having
caused a large quantity of wood and straw to be
placed near the arsenal, he set fire to it. The Aus-
trians, thinking that the arsenal was on fire, as had
been agreed upon, commenced the assault, but they
met wilh such a resistance that they were compelled
to retire with heavy losses. Several hundred wounded
were sent to Padua, and the besieged, profiting by
the disorder of the enemy, sallied out, made 800
prisoners, and spiked the greater part of the Austrian
cannon."

THE LATE MURDEROUS ASSAULT UPON A POLICE'
CONSTABLE IN BRISTOL.—DEATH OF TEE VICTIN[..:4
About a fortnight since a Bristol police-constable, name
John Pym, whilst conveying two of the frail sisterhou"
to the station-house in that city, was assaulted and grie:
vously injured about the head and face by two private'
belonging to the 15th Regiment of Foot. The constable
was enabled to appear against them before the magi!,
trates; but they were permitted to embark with
regiment, as it was understood they would be punish"'
through the instrumentality of the commanding officeS
Subsequently the unfortunate police-officer became so
from the effects of the treatment he had received, that
he was obliged to be placed in the infirmary of ale
station, wilcre every attention was paid him, but end
sipelus took place, and lust night (Thursday) be expire.,
Whatever instruction is reaped from history, trVE,
be reaped from a newspaper, which is the history of 'lO
world for one day. It is the history of that world
which we now live, and with which we are, consequentll'
more concerned than with those which have passed awoli
and exist only in remembrance.—Eliza Cook's Jour?UI
