ITALY.

Accounts from Rome to the 23d have been received,
at which date the French had not entered the city,
although they had made a lodgment in three breaches
in the bastion near the Porta Pancrazzia. It was
said that the Romans had made a second line of de-
tence parallel to the points at which the French would
make the assault. On the 18th General OUDINOT
sent a flag of truce to ask for an armistice of three
hours to enable him to bury his dead, which was
agreed to.
The message of the PRESIDENT of the French
Republic had reached Rome, and had occa-
sioned some sensation on account of the auda-
cious mendacity of its assertions as regards the state
of Roman affairs. The PRESIDENT says, that if the
expeditionary army had marched on Rome imme-
diately after disembarking, there can be no doubt
that the gates of the city would have been thrown open
to it ; but that the arrival of GARIBALDI in Rome
with 4,000 men, during the period of OUDINoT's stay
at Civita Vecchia, produced an entire change in the
views of the Government and the feelings of the popu
I,,tion, and determined them on resistance. Now,
GARIBALDI entered Rome at the head of 700 men
only; and if he now Commands as many thousands,
it is because the Republic has made him a General of
Division.

The troops of GARIBALDI are constantly repre-
sented as a band of desperate adventurers ; the
contrary is the case. GARIBALDI has under his com-
mand, in proportion to the number of his forces, a
greater number of soldiers possessing property than
has any other General at this moment commanding,
except perhaps the patriot Gen rids in Hungary. Col.
MASINA, one of his officers, who was k►lled on the
3d, possessed a private fortune of 1,5001. a year, and one
of his captains, wbo died on the 15th of June, has
left a fortune of 20,0001.
The French have been indulging their penchant for
wanton destruction without, as well as within the
walls. Not content with the damage done to the public
buildings of Rome by their bombardment, not content
with bombarding those very hospitals in which their
own wounded atter the 30th April were received and
tended, they have destroyed and burnt, from mere
wantonness of mischief, many of the most beautiful
villas in the neighbourhood of Rome. The property
of British subjects, to the value of 7,0001., has been
destroyed, and the English church, which was held as
sacred by the Romans, and permitted to stand, albeit
from its situation it might afford protection to the
besiegers, has been by the French undermined and
seriously damaged. This, however, was to be ex-
pected ; the destruction of a Protestant church must
have been a labour of love to M. DE FALLOUX'S Army
of the Faith.
The deputation from Bologna to the POPE has not
yet set out, in consequence of a serious difference of
opinion having arisen among its members. Several
persons appointed to office by the newly established
representatives of the Pontifical Government have
refused to accept the places offered them.
A letter from Berne of the 23d inst. announces the
conclusion of peace between Austria and Sardinia on
the following conditions :—The evacuation of Ales-
sandria ; payment to Austria of the expenses of the
war; Modena and Parma to be ceded to Piedmont
in lieu of Lombardy ; an offensive and defensive
alliance between Austria and Piedmont, and the lat-
ter to furnish a contingent of 20,000 men.
The Milan Gazette of the 23d publishes the text
of the capitulation of Ancona as follows :
" CONVENTION STIPULATED AT THE HEAD QUARTERS
OF CoLLEADIENO, BEFORE ANCONA., ON THE 19TH

Or JUNE.
In consequence of the mutual desire to put an end
to hostilities, and to avoid any further damage to the
town of Ancona from the operations of siege carried on
by the Imperial troops against the citadel and the torts,
the communal representatives of the town, and the
officers empowered by the military commandant of the
town and forts, presented themselves at the head-
quarters of the Imperial and Royal Lieutenant-Marshal
commanding the imperial and royal troops, Francis Count
Wimpffen, where the following points were mutually
agreed on.-1. The garrison of the citadel and torts
(which shall leave them with military honours), being
composed of different corps, the said Lieutenant-Marshal
engages to obtain a complete amnesty for those Austrian
soldiers who have enlisted in them, abandoning their
own colours, and also for the Pontifical carabineers and
the soldiers of the line forming part of the said garrison.
The former shall return to their regiments, according to
the orders of the Imperial and Royal General-Com
mandant in the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom; the latter
shall take the oath of fidelity to their legitimate Sove-
reign, or else, should they prefer returning to their
horn -s, they shall go in the direction they choose, pro-
vided with their proper furloughs. The Austrian and
Pontifical soldiers, who did not formerly belong to the
army, may freely return to their respective homes.-2.
