ITAL Y.

The intelligence from Rome is to the Bth. There
had been much fighting, but General OUDINOT had
not been enabled to advance one step towards effecting
an entrance into the city. He had not above six or
eight guns in position, and his forces were suffering
considerably from, the continued sorties of the legion
under the command of GARIBALDI.
The Milan Gazette states the following from Sini-
gaglia of the 7th :—" A French courier, who has
come from Marseilles and landed at Leghorn, has
brought the intelligence that the French Govern-
ment acknowledges the Austrian army to have perfect
freedom to act in these parts, and especially against
Ancona ; while the French army will limit its opera-
tion to act energetically on the Tiber."
The Lucca Gazette states that, by a Grand Ducal
decree, dated Naples 2, all the soldiers who followed
General DE LANGIER from Massa into Piedmont,
shall receive a silver medal ; and all those who went
over to him afterwards shall receive a bronze one.
The Risorgimento of Turin publishes a notifica-
tion of General Gouzilowsxr, dated Villa Spada
(Bologna), June 5, explaining what crimes or mis-
demeanours are judged by military law. Militaryllaw
is applied either by giudizio statario or court-martial.
The former only pronounces death, and judges high
treason, detention of arms, revolt, and such like ;
the latter takes cognizance of the diffusion of revo-
lutionary writings, singing of revolutionary songs,
political demonstrations, disobedience, &c., &c., and
may pronounce fine and imprisonment ad libitum.
All other transgressions are to be judged by the
ordinary tribunals.
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 11th announces
that the King of SARDINIA is rapidly recovering.
The following is a copy of a dispatch from
Toulon :
" Advices have been received from Rome to the 9th.
At that date the French troops were masters of all the
positions taken by them on the 3d, and part of which
had been retaken by the Romans. The fighting lasted
three days; the loss of life on both sides was consider-
able.

"General Oudinot has decided on getting possession
of Fort St. Ange; the works are already advanced to
within 600 yards of the fort.

" The French suffered much from the intense heat,
which had brought on a violent dysentery."

CABINET COUNCIL (THIS DAY.)—The Ministers
assembled at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, this
afternoon, at two o'clock. The Lord Chancellor was
unable to join his colleagues from continued indispo-
sisition. The Noble and Learned Baron is stated to-
day to be somewhat better, and nothing definitive, it
is understood, has been settled by the Cabinet res-
pecting the Great Seal being put into commission.
VIEW OF ROME.-At this period, when the French
soldiers under Oudinot are bombarding Rome from
the Villa Pamfili and the Monte Mario, Mr. Bogue has
brought out most appropriately an excellent sketch
of the city, taken from the Hill of the Janiculan.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday the Lord Mayor and
the Lady Mayoress had the honour of entertaining at
dinner in the Egyptian-hall Alderman Sir W. Magnay,
Bsrt., Alderman Musgrove, Alderman Sidney, M.P.,
and Alderman Moon, with their ladies, the deputies of
several wards, the Chairmen of the Corporation Com-
mittees, and about 100 members of the Court of Com-
mon Council, with their respective ladies. Covers were
laid for 210.

HOTEL AND TAVERN-KEEPERS, &c.—A petition to
the House of Commons, from a great number of persons
connected with the trade of hotel and tavern-keepers,
praying for a removal, or at least an amelioration, of
the burdens of taxation which more immediately affect
them, was presented by Mr. Masterman last night. The
petitioners, who appear to be well acquainted with their
own grievances, have set them forth at considerable
length. They complain of the injuries inflicted upon
their trade by the transit of railroads ; that few or no
persons remain at inns on the road, and that, in conse-
quence, the burdens of taxation, which were originally
borne without murmuring, are now Leconte so heavy
as to compel them to apply to the Legislature for relief.
They set forth the large sums embarked in the business
of which they are members, and claim, on account of
their property and position in life, a hearing of their
arguments and attention to their importance. The names
of most of the respectable victuallers are appe-ided to the
document.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING.—The new
German war-steamer, United States, arrived in the Mer-
sey this morning for repairs. She left New York on the
31st ult., but does not bring any later accounts from that
city. When 21 hours out struck on Nantucket Shoals,
in consequence of a defect in her compasses, but got off
after remaining four hours and throwing overboard 70
tons of coals. In longitude 50, damaged starboard after
boiler, which rendered it useless for the rest of the pas-
sage. She passed the packet-ship Fidelia going into
New York, and off Bardsay spoke the Sarah Sands.
Mr. C. K. Murray had an interview with Lord John
Russell yesterday.
