ITALY.

A private letter from Rome mentions an epigram
which had been posted on the walls of that city, al-
luding to the circumstance that M. Baraguay d'Hilliers
has two aides-de-camp named Foy and Dieu; from
which it infers that the French Republic, seeing that
the Roman Government had neither faith nor God,
had thought tit to send both.
The Statuto of Florence quotes a letter from Rome
of the lst, in which it is stated that General Baraguay
d'Hilliers' instructions are to threaten the Pope with
the evacuation of the Roman States by all foreign
troops unless he consent to return to Rome imme-
diately. It also mentions a letter said to have been
vtritten by a Preach diplomatist, announcing
that since the news of the embarkation of the
Spanish troops, matters had assumed a more
promising aspect at fortici ; that now it is
the Pope himself who begs the French will
rem-Ain ; that the arrival of the new Ambassador is
anxiously expected, and that negotiations are about
being entered into for a permanent garrisoning of
Rome, but that it is probable General Baraguay
d'Hilliers will insist upon the Pope's return before he
enters into any parley on that subject. The corre-
spondent further says that the Pope has sent private
instructions to the three cardinals recommending them
to govern wi!h the greatest moderation.
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 6th publishes a
royal ordonnance instituting a normal infantry school
for the formation of good officers.
The 11,forma of Lucca states that war steamers
are to ply on the Lago di Gardi, the Lsgo Maggiore,
and the mouths of the Po. The Austrians are not
fortifying. Piacenza, as had been stated.
The Piedmontese Gazette contains a Ministerial
report and royal decree thite.l the 4th, founded upon
it, which must be considered as a concession to the
raudera+e Left of the late Piedmontese Chamber, and
calculated to exercise a conciliatory influence on the
impending elections. By this decree a special commis-
sion is mimed to examine applications for naturalization
made by the natives of the provinces united to the king-
dom of Sardiflia,in virtue of the laws of the 27th of May,
16th and 21sc of June, 11 th end 27th of July, 1848.

dence, and who have applied for letters of naturaliza-
