The following address to the Romans is at present
widely circulated in Rome :
"11031A.N REPUBLIC.
" In the name of God and the People.
" Romans,—Brutal force has overcome your city, but
it has not changed or vanquished your rights. The
Roman Republic lives eternal and inviolable in the
suffrages of the free who proclaimed it, and in the spon-
taneous adhesion of the elements of the state—in the
faith of the people who have prolonged our defence, and
in the blood of the martyrs who fell for it under your
walls. Our invaders have betrayed all their promises,
God will betray them. Remain constant and firm in the
faith during the short trial to which you are now ex-
posed, and despair not of the future. Short is the dura-
tion of violence, arid certain must be the triumph of a
people who hope, fight, and suffer for the cause ofjustice
and for that of true liberty.
" You have given many proofs of military daring—
give now proofs of civil courage.
"By all that is sacred with you, citizens, do not yield
either to base fear or stupid egotism. Make visible to
the world the separation that exists between you and
your betrayers. Let Rome be their camp, but not their
city; and let the name of traitor to Rome be given to
him who, contrary to his honour and conscience, has
any dealings with the enemy. The necessities of Europe
will not permit Rome to become the conquest of France
or of another nation. Let their occupation have 01l the
character of a conquest. Isolate the enemy, and Europe
will raise its powerful voice for you.
" No one can prevent the peaceable expression of your
wishes. Let the public voice be constantly heard and
understood.

" Let the Municipality make it known that it adhered
voluntary to the republican form of government and the
abolition of the temporal government of the Pope, and
that it will consider every government to be illegal that
does not emanate directly from the people. From
every district, from every provincial town, let lists ap-
pear of thousands of names who attest the same faith
and invoke the same rights. In the streets, in the
theatre, in every suitable place, let the cry be heard,
Away with the government of the priests,' Freedom
of vote,' and after that sole cry let there be silence. On
the display of the Pontifical arms let those who swore
to the Republic retire from office. Fear not, they can-
not imprison thousands, they cannot compel a whole
people to disgrace themselves, and disgraced you will be,
O Romans, if, after once having proclaimed to all Europe
your determination to be free, and fought and lost the
best blood amongst you to be so, you should now descend
to the condition of slaves, or asscciate with your be •

trayers.
" Your fathers, Romans, were great—not because they
knew how to conquer, but that when beaten they did
not despair.
" In the name of God and the people be great, as your
fathers were. This day, as men, you have a world—an
Italian world—in your custody.
" Your National Assembly is not dissolved—it is only
separated. Your Triumvirs, compelled by the force of
circumstances to suspend their public action, still watch
over your affairs, and will direct your conduct when the
opportune moment arrives.
" For the Triumvirate,

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, Aua. 7.—Oar market has exhibited
greater firmness and a more cheerful tone to-day than
might have been anticipated towards the close of last
week. Sellers have not only stood firmly upon their
previous quotations, but have shown a disposition
slightly to raise them in some things. The fact is that
the contracts still held for many articles are so ample,
and the existing stocks of others are geaerally so mode.
rate, as greatly to sustain the resolution of producers
whenever appearances become rather unfavourable, and
naturally to render them susceptible of any exciting
causes. Some degree of stimulus has been supplied by
the Niagara's accounts of a probably backward crop of
cotton, as a result of bad weather, and of higher prices
by je. to ie. per lb. having been obtained in the States,
though this was in a great degree occasioned by advices
of the upward tendency of the Liverpool market.
For yarns we have had a demand of a pretty general
kind, yet of a very limited extent. In goods, the inquiry
for printers has rather increased, and prices are inclined
to harden. 34 and 36-inch cloths go off at steady rates.
The lower 40-inch shirtings are dull, 64 and 72 reeds
being in a comparatively better position. Low jacconets
are little inquired after. Madapollams aro steady, but
quiet. There is very little doing in T's and long cloths,
and scarcely any noticeable increase in the purchase of
stout domestics. The highly encouraging reports of the
growing crops are, however, opening a better prospect
for our home trade.
Advices from Tabriz represent the Persian trade as
being more than ever depressed; and
ithose from Cor
stantinople state that, as yet, no sensible mprovemen
has taken place in that market.
ROCUDALE, AUG. 6.—We have bad a brisk demand
for flannels to-day, at previous prices, and most of the
pieces were cleared out early in the day. Notwith-
standing the workmen are in full employ, and the manu-
facturers with very slender stocks on hand, the wool
dealers complain of the very limited dfiralkLl4 there is for
