A glance at our miscellaneous columns will show
that our appeal was not ineffectually made, yesterday
evening, for aid to those brave Hungarian Hussars
who are, at present, penniless sojourners on the
shores of England. Pecuniary contributions to the
Testimonial proposed by ourselves have (as will be
observed) been already transmitted to us and duly
received. In addition to these and other communica-
tions upon the same subjtct, one of our Correspon-
dents makes inquiry as to which spot may be regarded
as the repository of such subscriptions ?
Having ourselves suggested the Testimonial, we
are willing, we are not only willing, we shall be re-
joiced to become the medium for the transmission of
any sums that may be forwarded to us in trust for
the Hungarian Hussars encamped near Folkstone—
sums which will express at once the hospitality of
England and the cordial sympathy of the English
people in the great and glorious cause of Hungarian
freedom ! To all those who have secretly
sympathised in that sublime cause from the
day when BEM first drew his sword from its
scabbard, and when KOSSUTH first raised his
prophetic voice to predict the lkeration of the
Magyars—to all those who have exulted in the suc-
cessive victories achieved over the Imperialists, and
who have repined at the apparent apathy with which
England has throughout remained a mere spectator
of the struggle—we here repeat our earnest appeal
in behalf of the heroic fugitives from German servi-
tude to Hungarian liberty. Let words and thoughts
now reveal themselves in deeds, to enable this band of
patriots to reach the country now sorely in need of
the arms of her valiant children.

SUSPENSION OF HOSTILITIES

AT ROME.

M. ODILON BARROT, yesterday afternoon, com-
municated to the Legislative Assembly the following

TELEGRAPHIU DISPATCH.

Any contribution to the Hungarian Testimonial
will reach its destination if transmitted to The Sun
Office, under cover to " The Editor."

"On the 30th of June the Roman Constituent
Assembly passed a decree in the followirg terms :
" The Assembly ceases a defence, vf hich has be-
come impossible, and remains at its post. It chatges
the Triumvirate with the execution of the present
decree.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.

" ' At the same time the Commander-in-Chief of
the Roman army demanded at seven o'clock a sus-
pension of hostilities, and announced the speedy
arrival at the French head-quarters of a deputation
of the Municipality of Rome.

In the Legislative Assembly- leave of absent:e was
granted to General BEDEAU, to fulfil a temporary
mission entrusted to him by the Minister of War.
The Constitutionnel, in announcing the departure
of General BEDEAU for Rome, says that " the object
of his mission is to observe the state of affairs, and,
in case of necessity, to take the chief command of the
French forces."
At the conclusion of the sitting of the Legislative
Assembly the following discussion took place t;al the
subject of the bombardment of Rome :
The President—M. Versigny wishes to address an in.
terpellation to the Government.—(Oh, oh.)
M. Versigny said, that according to the last news
from Rowe, a considerable breach had been made in the
walls, and a battery had la, en established on that Wench.
It was said that this battery having been destroyed by
the Romans, General Oudinot had resolved to have re•
course to extreme means, such as were no longer the
habits of civilized nations ; namely, to bombard thee city
and burn it.—(o6,oh—strong marks of incredulity.) He
wished much to learn from the Government that; such
was not the intention of the General, and that it would
not authorise him to aim at the horrible celebrity of the
King of Naples.—(Loud marks of disapprobation.),
The President of the Council—lt is impossible that
the Governmt nt can thus allow itself to be draggad to
the tribune to reply to every fact that may be brought
forward. The Government has published all the uis,
patches which it has received; the dispatches of the Ge-
neral have Walt.) s been published immediately on. their
arrival. It has been asked what we shall do against
Rome—what means we shall employ, and whetLer we
shall imitate the example of such and such a soy,
—(Murmers on the Left.) We think that the cunthict of '
the Government is a sufficient answer to that qutistioe,
and that the consideration which it has shown towards
the fut eigners who rule over and oppress Rome—(.Loud
exchirealions on the Left)—sefficiently proved our imten-
lion in that respect.
Larange said—ls it possible, then, that the Go-
vernment can say that it has no reply to give whet, it is
told that Rome—that the Eternal City is about ;to be

"M. DE COURCELLES announces that this deputa-
tion had just arrived."

from sleeping?—(Alurmers and laughter.) The Gwvern-
ment has directed a brave French army on Rom c.; by
its criminal orders it has violated the constituaien !

from the Right, and cries of '• Order! order!") Ail
Europe is now askii,g itself whether Rome will be bom-
barded or not? Let the Government then state w hat it

the incid,nt is terminated.

The Moniteur publishes a dispatch from Genera]
OUDINoT, dated Santucci, the 26th ult., givie.tg an
account of the siege operations up to that date. Two
pieces of the enemy's artillery, stationed on the
heights of St. Alexis, were silenced by the battery
No. 2. On the 24. h and 25th the occupation oil the
bastions was extended and consolidated. It wo 8 to

tario. On the night of the 24th and the day of the
25th the working at the batteries continued, an, ii the
mortars maintained their fire on bastion No. 8.. A
breach was beginning to be made on bastion N.). 9.
The loss during those two days was about 30 men
hors de combat, of whom two were killed.
A letter from Toulon, dated the 29th ult., an-
nounces the arrival there of a steam-boat leicim
Civita Vecchia, with 180 sick and wounded soldiers
from the camp of General OUDINOT. The excessive
heat was beginning to be severely felt at Rome, and
the number of sick v% as increasing. It was said that
General OUDINOT had resolved to adopt the most:
energetic measures to bt ing the affair to a conclusion.
The 17th and 50th Regiments of Infantry had been
landed at Civita Vecchia on the 25th. The effective
force before Rome was calculated at 30,000 men.
r The As:nod‘e sailed from Toulon for Civita Vecchia
on the 28th, having in tow a Government tender
laden with mortars, howitzers, shells, gunpowder, and
cartridges.
The Moniteur publishes a protest presented by the
foreign consular agents at Rome to General OUDINOT,
together with General OUDINOT'S reply, and the
letter of M. DE COURCELLES transmitting the docu-
ment to the Government. The following is the protest ,
of the consuls :

"Route, June 24, Seven o'clock in the Evening.

settling their respective G.,vertanents, take the liberty
to express to you their profound regret that you should
