" The Christophe Colomb steamer has arrived from
Civita Vecchia, which port she left on the 9:h, bringing
dispatches and letters from the French expedition.
" At the departure of the vesel everything was per-
fectly tranquil at Civita Vecchia, and the news from the
French camp presents but little interest. The army had
made no movement. The troops recently sent, imme-
diately on landing marched to Palo, where the General
has concentrated all his troops, and awaits fresh instruv
tions from Paris.

" There was a report current when the steamer left
Civita Vecchia, that the Romans had made a sortie in the
night in order to harrass the French camp, but that they
had been repulsed with loss, leaving a number of prisoners
behind them.

" General Gueswiller, commanding the first division
of tha army of the Alps, has left Palo; the greater part
of his division is already there, and the remainder are
preparing for embarkation.
" TheAsmcdt:), steamer, bearing the flag of Rear-
Admiral Recaudit, has just arrived from Trieste and
Naples. This vessel formed part of the French naval
force in the Mediterranean. The Psychi frigate has
also arrived from same quarter.
" The Panama steam-frigate, which formed part of
the flea which carried the last detachment of troops to
Civita Vecchia, after landing her men, continued her
voyage to Ancona, where she will remain until further
orders as a protection to the French residents in that
port.

" The 4th and 6th battalions of the Garde Mobile have
embarked to do duty in Corsica." _
