ITALY.

The Roman Triumvirate has ordered all the goods
of the King of NAPLES in the Roman territories to
be sequestrated and sold, and the produce to be paid
towards repairing the injuries inflicted on Roman
citizens, and in order to prove to Europe and the
world that the Roman Republic is actuated solely by
a desire to secure her own liberties, and not by am-
bitious motives; tho Triumvirate have prohibited the
Roman troops from penetrating into the Neapolitan
territory. GainnALDl, however, continues on the
Neapolitan frontier (his head-quarters are at Terra-
cina) in order to prevent any fresh invasion by King
Bomna, who, it appears, in his flight from Velletri,
narrowly escaped being made prisoner. Verily, the
pet of the POPE hath, like his master, been chastened
of late.

On the morning of the 24th May M. DE LESSEPS
addressed a letter from the French camp to the
Roman Assembly, in which he expresses his readiness
to continue communications with the Assembly, the
dispatches from which may be forwarded to him, and
will have his prompt and immediate reply. He then
repeats what he had said in his former letter that
the French Government had no wish or intention to
force any particular form of government on the
Roman people, nor was it their object to restore the
past state of things in its original vigour. The only
object he declares was to preserve the Roman people
from whatever dangers might threaten them from
other quarters, and to protect their laws and their
liberty. He also denies that it was even the intention
of the French commander, in the event of his entering
Rome, to punish those foreigners and Frenchmen who
had fought on the side of the Romans, who would be
considered end treated completely as Romans.
M. MAZZINI has replied, in a very long and ela-
borate epistle to the dispatch of M. DE LEssEps,
but of which the pith and meaning appear to be
summed up in the concluding passages, which are as
follow :
" The great point at issue is the occupation of Rome,
for that demand forms the first acid paramount condition
of all the propositions hitherto presented.
" Now, Sir, we have already hat the honour of tell•
ing you that that is impossible—the people
will never
consent to it. If the occupation of the capital is only
meant for its protection, the people will be grateful to
you; but they will say, that, capable. of protecting
Rome by their own forces, they think it would be to dis-
honour to themselves to admit a few regiments of French
soldiers to assist them. If the wished-for occupation
should bo a mere political idea, the people who
have given themselves free institutions will not
submit to it. Rome is their capital, their palladium,
their holy city. They consider that the result of foreign
occupation would inevitably be civil war, and foresee
that once foreign troops were admitted, changes both in
men and institutions would fellow which would be dis-
astrous to their liberty. They know that in presence of
foreign bayonets, the independence of their Assembly and
of their Government would be nothing more than vain
words. They see what has already taken place at Civita
Vecchia, and dread a similar result. Their decision is
irrevocable on this point.

" There is, therefore, only three parts for France to
perform in the Roman States. She must declare her-
self either for us, or against us, or neutral. To declare
for us, she must formally recognise our republic, and
fight by our side against the Austrians. To declare against
us would be to crush, without any motive, the liberty
and the nationality of a friendly people, and to fight on
the side of the Austrians. The latter part France cannot
adopt. She cannot either risk an European war to de-
fend us as an ally. Let her, therefore, remain neutral:
that is all we ask. The occupation of Civita Vecchia is
un felt accompli ; be it so. Let her keep it, and let her
even extend her cantonments in the healthy part of the
country, but lot her be strictly neutral, without any
arrierc pensee. Let her not close the ports against the
arrival of any allies who would COlllO to our assistance.
Let her remove all sign of her troops from before our
walls, and let even the appearance or all hostilities
cease between two nations who are doubtless intended
to be one day united in the same international belief as
they are now by the adoption of the same form of govern-
ment."
The latest intelligence from Civita Vecchia states,
that the armistice had terminated, and that the French
were preparing again to attack Rome. The French
force amounted to 25,000 men, and they had sent
some heavy artillery up the Tiber.
The attack on Rome was to be made on three
points, but as the city was strongly barricaded, and
was defended by 80,000 men, the result was consi-
dered extremely doubtful.
Ancona still held out, according to the last account.
The Austrians at Leghorn and Bologna amuse
themselves by making a human &attic in the streets,
wherever two persons are seen together they are at
once shot down.
The Cabinet of Turin his refused to accede to the
demands of Austria for the delivery to RADETZIIY of
all her fortresses on the French frontier, and of the
city of Genoa. Will France support the King of
SARDINIA in this refusal ? The answer must be
doubtful so long as N. DE FALLoux continues a
member of the French Cabinet.

The Piedniontese Gazette contains the following
ordinance:—

"The amnesty that we granted by our decree of the
Bth April last, on account of the insurrection of Genoa,
will be extended to all those who, adhering to that in-
surrection, committed political crimes even out of Genoa
before that amnesty was proclaimed. It is especially
extendel to the authors and accomplices in the insur-
rectional movement of Levici, Recco, and Chiavari.
" Turin, May 26." " By the KING.
The Monitore of Florence of the 27th of May, pub-
lishes the following list of the new Tuscan Ministry :
Leonido Landucci—lnterior.
Coo 3ar Capoquadri—Justice.
Andrea del Prineipi Corsina—Foreign Affairs.
Mazzei—Ecclesiastical Affairs.
The Marquis Bomella—Public Instruction.
Count de Langier—War.
.The first act of the new Ministry was to replace the
tricolour flag by the standard of Tuscany.
GUERAZZI has been conducted to Volterra, on the
demand of the French Ambassador, to save him from
the fury of the Austrians.

SICILY.
General FILANGIERI on the 7th of May published
in Palermo the promised amnesty. It is somewhat
too liberal in one point, inasmuch as it pardons fully
and freely all crimes of whatsoever nature committed
since the 12th January,
that thieves, robbers, and 1848, whether political
or otherwise ; so
mur-
derers are admitted to the benefit of it as well as
political offenders;
but it is not complete, for all
the great men
took upon themselves the responsibility of organizing
a Government, of
who, during the recent revolution
assembling the Parliament, of
maintaining order and a respect for the laws—who, in
fact, have throughout, been acting strictly legally,
and opposing the excesses of the mob as firmly as they
opposed the illegal excesses of the KING, have been
proscribed. At the head of the list of the patriots
thus honoured by the especial hatred of the bombard-
ing Bourbon and his bankrupt Lieutenant, we find
the illustrious Don RUGGIERO SETTIAIO. The fOl,
