ITALY.

The Opinione of Turin of the 22d, states on the
faith of correspondence from Genoa, that GUERRAZZE,
who had been sent to Leghorn a prisoner, has been
claimed by the British Consul, and embarked on an
English merchant vessel.

The Piedmontese Gazette contains a royal decree,
dated the 21st, in virtue of which the Duke of GENOA
is provisionally invested with the royal power during
the illness of the KING. It further publishes the sen-
tence of the Court of Cessation on the appeal of RA-
MORINO. The Court rejects the appeal, on the ground
that military sentences are not subject to cessation in
time of war, and that the existence of an armistice
does not alter the case, on account of its being a mere
military convention. The Court, therefore, refuses to
take cognisance of the allegations made by General
RAMORINO in support of his appeal. In consequence
of this sentence, RAMORINO was shot on the 22d, at
half-past six, A.M.
The Messagiere Modenese, of the 18th, states that
the Austrians had begun their march upon Faenza,
and that their ',head-quarters were at San Lazzaro,
near Bologna. By a notification of the civil and
military Austrian Governor GORZKOWSKI, of the 18th,
at four P.M., Bologna is declared in a state of siege,
the press is placed under preventive censure ; the
civic guard suspended, the corps francs dissolved, and
arms of every description are to be given up.
The Riforma of Lucca announces that the entrance
of the Austrians into Bologna took place on the 17th.
The Roman troops of the line, stationed at Fuligno
and other places in the vicinity, have marched for
Rome.

The Monitore Toscano lately denied that the Grand
Duke of TUSCANY was a party to the Austrian inva-
sion into his states. The same paper now contains a
manifesto of the Commissary-Extraordinary SEM-
TORT, dated the 18th in which the intervention of
Austria is gratefully acknowledged, as may be seen
from the following paragraph :
" Tuscans, the assistance which the Imperial and Royal
Austrian Government has given to Leopold 11., was
loudly called for by the general condition of the Penin-
sula, and by the necessity of putting a stop to the dis-
turbances which lacerated Central Italy."
At Rome, on the 17th, the Triumvirs issued a
proclamation stating that hostilities were suspended
between the Roman Republic and the French. At
the request of M. LESSEPS, the French Envoy, the
Assembly nominated three of their members to have
a conference with General OUDINOT. On the 16th a
division of 12,000 men left Rome in order to attack
the Neapolitans at Albano. •
The Opinione of Turin publishes a circular ad-
dressed by the Triumvirate to the presidents
of the provinces, dated the 15th, in which it
is stated that Rome begins to reap the fruit of her
courage; that the arrival of M. DE LESSEPS
proves that the former hostile attitude of the
French forces was merely owing to the
instructions relating to the intervention having been
misunderstood ; that further hostilities are suspended,
and the military expedition is reduced to its true
limits ; that the nature of the Roman question is con-
sequently different from what it was in the outset,
since France must either now fight on the Roman
side, or assist the latter byiher moral influence. The
document further directs that this intelligence be
everywhere made known, to confirm the people in
their determination, and that the populations be or-
ganised as a levee en masse, for which purpose the
Central Government has sent an experienced officer
into the four northern provinces, and another to the
central ones; as for Naples, the circular declares that
Rome alone will effectually check attacks from that
qulrter.
Letters from Rome of the 21st state that M. LES•
sErs had delivered in an ultimatum, consisting of
three articles—one stating that the French troops
had been called for by the Roman Republic, a second
admitting the right of the Roman people to choose
their own form of government, and a third permitting
the entrance of the French troops, which ultimatum
had been submitted to the National Assembly and
rejected unanimously.
These letters also state that the Neapolitans had
retired to Veletri, where GARIBALDI was in great
force. The probability is that they have been de-
feated at Albano.

The Tuscan .Moniteur states that the following are
the bases proposed by M. LESSEN to the Roman
Government for a convention :—The spontaneous
reestablishment of Pius IX., with all the liberal and
constitutional guarantees claimed by the people of
Rome, and the surrender of the quarter of the Vati•
can to the French troops pending the negotiations.
The siege of Venice continued on the 15th. On
the 13th the Venetians made a successful sortie, and
dislodged the enemy from one of their redoubts.
Marshal THURN had arrived to take the command of
the 2d corps of reserve, in place of General lIAINAU,
who has been summoned to take a command against
the Hungarians.
The Austrians were about to quit Leghorn on the
24th, tranquillity being completely restored. Flo-
rence also remained quiet.
The Piethnontese Gazette of the 23d states that the
King of SARDINIA was better, the fever having some-
what abated, and his MAJESTY had had a calm and
refreshing sleep.
