ITALY.

Intelligence has been received from Rome to the
15th. General OUDINOT commenced his attack on
the 14th ; his batteries played upon the bastion for
24 hours without effecting any practicable breach,
and in that state matters remained when the last ac-
counts were dispatched. The following account of

the proceedings in Rome and its neighbourhood is
published in the Censor of Genoa :
"Oa the morning of the 13th instant the French com-
menced bombarding Rome, causing, however, little damage.
They, at the same time, attempted an assault, but without
effect. The French firing was briskly continued till eight in
the evening, when it ceased for three hours. At eleven it
recommenced, and continued till four on the morning of the
14th. It then ceased for a short time, to be re-opened with
greater effect, causing great damage to the Romans. At
four in the afternoon of the 14th the French made a
small breach at the gate St. Pancrace, but not large
enough to attempt an assault. At eight the firing con-
tinued as well as some fighting. The French, however,
still considered it inexpedient to make an assault by
the breach, and on the morning of the 15th the
bombardment was continued, but still without result.
The French have cut off several aqueducts and stopped the
entry of provisions. The enraged Trar.steverins twice pre-
sented themselves to the Triumvirs, weapon in hand, request-
ing permission to be allowad to sally out en masse against the
French, and finish matters by a single blow. The Triumvirs
assured them all would end well if they would only pre-
serve their ardour to fight at the barricades,• if the 'French
should have the temerity to enter the city. It appears that
General Oudinot does not wish to engage his soldiers in the
barricades of Rome, but rather to take a position at St. Pan-
crace, and there establish his battery:"

The Opinione accuses G tneral Ounmor of arrest-
ing the peaceable inhabitants of the country—of
binding their hands, and sending them to Civita
Vecchia as prisoners of war, in order to create an
impression by the large number of prisoners they are
making.
General CORDOVA and the Spaniards are still at
Terracina.

The Piedmontese Gazette announces officially the
renewal of negotiations with Austria.
The Venetians have, by the fire of their bombs,
damaged the Austrian batteries.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,000 to
7,000 bales, with a firm market.—ln Railway Shares only a
limited business was done, and prices were without alteration.
The weekly balance-sheet of the Bank of England, made
up to Saturday last, exhibits but a slight increase in other
securities, and the payments into the public Exchequer have
led to a return of notes, whereby the active circulation has
been again slightly diminished and the bullion further
augmented. The Public Deposits are still comparatively
low, but this is now accounted for by the concession made
and the postponement allowed in the payment of the malt
and hop duties. A comparison with the previous week gives
the following results :

In the Foreign Exchanges there were again yesterday
afternoon but limited negotiations. Paper at 90 days' date
was quoted 12, 21/t to 21/2 on Amsterdam, at 13, 12 to 121/2
on Hamburgh, at 25, 60 to 65 on Paris, and at 12, 40 to 50
on Trieste.

The exports of the precious metals from London during the
week to Thursday last were 218,500 ounces of silver, chiefly
to holland and Belgium, and about 3,200 ounce& of gold,
mostly to the Mauritius.

This' financial ezpos6 of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
has given much satisfaction, and, although there may be
quibblers, it is generally admitted that a much worse state-
ment might have been made. It is further apparent, at the
same time, that the application of a little extra pressure
will lead to additional and judicious retrenchment, without
the necessity of any curtailment of the national de-
fences ; and although some of the Chancellor's
estimates may be too high, others will ' probably
he found hereafter to be too low. With the remaining
items of the budget we have not much to do, as the Chan-
cellor has so fully explained them, and we will merely add
that the consumption of exciseable articles continues very
large, and that we believe the benefits of free trade are at
present merely in their infancy, having never had anything
like a fair trial.

The express in anticipation of the Overland mail furnishes
late intelligence from India, which will be found in another
column. _
