ITALY.

The private correspondent of the Opinione of Turin
writes on the sth from Rome as follows :

" Yesterday the state of siege was proclaimed, and
the Triumvirate and Assembly were dissolved. A
strong French force occupies the Capitol. Every night
the inhabitants must retire to their homes at nine
o'clock. Hostile demonstrations continue. When aFrench-
man enters a coffee-room, all the Italians withdraw.
Several innkeepers, being afraid to lose their native
customers, have refused to lodge the invaders. If
in the street, a Frenchman applies for information, no
reply is returned to him. Such is the situation of Rome.
Tho English and American Consuls are our sole pro-
tectors. They deliver passports to those who demand
them, and are always ready to extend their protection
to the patriots who claim it. General Oudinot endea-
voured by fine promises to prevail on Garibaldi to give
up the French who fought under his orders, but the
brave Italian left the French Cossack all the shame
attending ,his proposition, and replied, that in order
to arrive at his soldiers he should pass over his body.
Thus, as you may perceive, from beginning to end, dig-
nity and honour were certainly not on the side of the
French. At Civita Vecchia, where the flag of the
Roman Republic lately floated, the French flag is alone
to be seen. A vessel, coming from Ancona, was obliged
to strike the papal colours which she had hoisted.
" Mazaini quietly remains at Rome, protected by two
passports."
The Risorgimento of the 11 th inst., contains the
following decree :
" Victor Emmanuel 11., King of Sardinia, &c., on the
proposition of our Minister Secretary of State of In-
ternal Affairs, decrees the following:—
" Art. 1. The state of Siege proclaimed in the city of
Genoa shall cease after the 11th inst.

" Art. 2. The powers given to our Extraordinary
Commisbioners, M. Alfonso della Marmora, by a decree
of the Ist of April last, are contirmed to him, as also the
power of re-establishing the state of siege, should im-
perious circumstances render that measure necessary."

THE WEATHER AND CHOPS.—We have had another
week of glorious weather. Indeed, the last two days
remind us of summers of yore for great warmth. The
crops are accordingly making rapid advances. In this
neighbourhood the corn is nearly all in oar, and several
fields of grass have been cut down. The potatoes are
luxuriant, and no taint as yet appeared. The turnips
are also in a very forward state, the thinning and hoeing
having in many places commenced.—Ross-shire Aduer.
Dispatches from the Governors of the North Ameri-
can Colonies were received yesterday at the Colonial-
