The following is the proclamation issued by General
ROSTOLA.4 on taking the command of the: French
troops in Rome :--
"Inhabitants of Rome,—Two months ago your city
languished under the twofold oppression of terror and
anarchy. The French troops then entered Rome. They
found in you friends; order and tranquillity were re-
stored; and the flag of the Sovereign Pontiff was speedily
displayed on the walls of the capitol, saluted by your
enthusiastic cries, as a pledge of a better future. From
that period the army has not failed to set an example of
moderation, justice, and generosity. This conduct of
our soldiers is but the least expression of the sympathy
and sentiments of France for the Sovereign Pontiff and
the people of the Roman States. Called to-day to the
command in chief of the army, I rejoice in having to
continue the noble task so well commenced by it. While
fulfilling my functicns as Governor of Rome, I have
been able to appreciate the love you bear to your
Sovereign, and:the respect thatyouhaveforvirtue. I have
also learned your desires and your hopes. My efforts
shall be used unceasingly to the realisation of those
wishes. My chief glory will be to have been chosen to
follow out the good work the French Government has
undertaken for your happiness and prosperity.
" The General-in-Chief RosroLAN.
"Rome, Aug. 24, 1849."
The sacerdotal tyrants, who now tyrannise over
Rome, have issued an edict for a wholesale perse-
cution. :The Triumvirate of Cardinals has appointed a
commission for prosecuting the authors and ac-
complices of all offences committed during the re-
volution against religion or its ministers, the au-
thority of the SOVEREIGN, and public and private
security. The said cardinals, themselves being alone
authorised to determine in what offences against its
ministers consist, and, doubtless, considering the cir-
culation of the Scriptures among the people, as the '
most heinous offence of the sort that can be com-
mitted. If we imagine all Ireland given up to the
uncontrolled dominion of JouN of TOAM, we may
form some idea of the degrading and debasing ty-
ranny under which Rome groans from the restored
rule of the priests and the Inquisition,
The Venice Gazette of the 26th contains the fol-
lowing notification :

GOVERNMENT COMMISSION.-1. On the 27th inst., at
noon, all the individuals who are to leave Venice by sea,
and who, for this purpose, have received from the Go-
vernment Commission a ticket of embarkation for one of
the eight ships expressly prepared for the purpose, shall
proceed to the vessel they are respectively destined for,
where an officer will examine their papers, and, having
verified their identity, will admit them to the
vessel.-2. Those who are to emigrate, and who
have not yet provided themselves with a ticket, may

P.M. of the 27th, the eight ships shall be towed 'to the
Alberoni by the steamers Pius IX., Achilles, City of
Ravenna, and City of Venice; and if the weather be
favourable, they shall immediately take the open sea;
otherwise, they shall remain at the Alberoni, in order
to take their departure with the assistance of the said
steamers, in which case none of the passengers will be
allowed to land, on pain of losing his right to his place.
The Government Commission does not guarantee either
to the latter, or to those who may not have embarked
before, against the possible consequences of their neg-
lect.-4. The ships will stop at Corfu, and thence pro-
ceed to Patras, where they will land all those who in-
tend proceeding to Greece, Turkey, and the rest of
Europe.-5. Those who wish to proceed to Alexandria
will be immediately embarked at Corfu in a vessel for
the purpose, and landed at the former city.-6. The
voyages to all other ports except those mentioned, viz.,
Corfu, Patras, and Alexandria, must be defrayed by the
passengers.-7. Captain Baldisserotto will be at Corfu
to direct the movements of the ships and passengers.

The Venice Gazette of the 27th ult., contains three
decrees, the first fixing the departure of the eight
vessels destined to convey the refugees to Corfu, Patras,
or Alexandria, to the 28th, instead of the 27th; the
second, announcing that the post was to recommence
its functions on the 27th ; the third, declaring the
communal paper to have its nominal value for one
day more, since the town was not to be occupied till the
28th by the Austrian troops. The last decree further
contains a recommendation to shopkeepers to keep
their shops open, and not to refuse to sell, as public
tranquillity might suffer by it. These decrees are
signed by the members of the Government Commis-
sion, composed of Venetians.

The liisorgimento of Turin states from Venice,
27th ult., that the cholera has been raging fearfully
in that city. Upwards of 400 attacks and 235
deaths had been counted per day. It is now on the
decrease.

Mrs. Manning, whose name has obtained such
fearful notoriety in connexion with the Bermondsey
murder, resided about four years ago in Cheltenham, for
the space of several months, being at the time lady's
maid in the family of W. Wills Sandford, Esq.---Chel-
