at Rome on the 2d inst.:—

" THIRD BULLETIN.

" The French army is encamped at Castel di Guido.
It is believed tbat it consists of 5,000 men. Nothing
new. The country round Rome is tranquil. Nothing
can be seen from Rome, but on the other points
there are agents who have a view of passing occur-
rences.

troops are moving towards the west.
" 23 minutes past 11—Colonel Mosi announces that he
is watching the French troops.

" 15 minutes past 4—The enemy are striking their
tents.

baldi and his corps, are to be seen at Santa Maria de la
Ripera.
" 5 minutes past 7—A column of the French troops is
seen at St. Seven. Others at Prati. The fog impedes
our communications."

The Italia del Popolo of Rome, of the 3d inst., con-
tains an insulting article on the Neapolitan army :
" Surround, surround Rome," it says, " with a circle of
fire; still Rome will resist as long as she retains a spark
of lice. If we are vanquished, it will be after our death!
Up brothers ; to arms l avenge the ambassadors of
P.►lermo and Messina. Up; God is with us!"

The Commission of the Barricades at Rome pub-
lished the following proclamation on the 2d inst.:—

"General Oudinot promised to pay for everything in
cash. Let him, therefore, pay for the pictures of Raphael
perforated by French bullets. Let him pay for the in-
jury and the insult inflicted on Michael Anlzelo. Napo-
leon carried off the Italian works of art to Paris, but we
had at least a compensation in the admiration bestowed
on them by foreigners. At present the French Govern •
meat invades our territory, and such is their love for
Rome that they wi,•ll to destroy it ?
A letter from Rome of the 4th inst. says—
" The capital is tranquil. It appears that the Nea-
politans are approaching our walls. The Commission of
the Barricades have ordered all the blacksmiths to pre-
pare iron hooks to be used against the cavalry. Prepara-
tions have been made to. meet the enemy. The Trium-
virate, whilst announcing to the people the approach
of the Neapolitans, escort them to defend their
sovereignty to the last extremity. Considerable reinforce-
ments of infantry and artillery had arrived to tho assia.
tance of the Romans. The first division of the Neapo-
litans is said to amount to 8,000 men; the second to
2,000."

The National publishes the following letter from 1
M. Peacantini, late Envoy from the Roman Republic
to the French Government :
" The French have come to bombard the Roman Re-
public through love for the Pope. Whilst they were en-
deavouring to scale the garden of the Vatican, and were
bomb❑rding the palace, I was on the terrace with several
representatives. I replied to the bombardment, and to
the assault, by ordering the band of the Carabiniers to
play up the Mardeiliai,e.' The same evening I aeci,m-
panied a Frenchman to visit the barricades of the Porta
del Popolo, and showing him the oheli,k of Sesostris, the
most ancient in the world, I could not avoid sayini to
him, "Look at this obelisk—it is extremely old. It is,
we are told, 6,000 years old, but it never witnessed any
infamy equal to that of the conduct of the Government of
the French Republic against the Roman Republic.' Speak •
ingof M. Drouyn de Lhuys, he says,' If you see the Minis-
ter for Foreign Affairs, tell him that he was wanting in
good faith tome.' Beltram and [have proved by our sepa-
rate votes, and by our collective declarations, what great
confidence we felt in the French Republic, and how far
we would go in point of coucessiocF. We were far from
thinking that he would have replied to us by the crime
of fratricide."

A rumour is in circulation in Paris, that the
Neapolitans wire beaten by Garibaldi before the
gates of Rome, in an affair said to have taken place
on the stb.
