ITALY.

The account of the revolution at Rome is con-
firmed. It broke out the day after the assassination
of Rossi. The declaration of Rossi against the
Leivio Guard, and the supposed intention on his part
to join Naples, had exasperated the people against his
Ministry, and caused his assassination. The sitting
of the Assembly was closed after his assassination,
as there were not a sufficient number of Deputies
present.
According to the Roman Gazette, the city remained
quiet, but the people maintained an ominous silence.
At seven, P.M., however, groups began to form along
the Corso, and, forming a procession with lighted
torches, proceeded to the barracks of the carabineers,
who fraternized with the people, and joined them to
Parade through the town, preceded by the Italian
banner. After visiting the Popular Club and the
barracks of the dragoons, the procession made an
ovation to Deputy CALLETTI, just arrived from Bologna.
The people loudly demanded a Democratic Ministry
and an Italian Constituent Assembly. (The Gazette
then proceeds to detail the assembize of people, and
their march and attack on the palace, of which we
have already given an account, as well as of the for-
mation of the new Ministry; and then proceeds to
give further details.) All this took place at half-past
eight. During the firing, Monseigneur PALMA, se-
cretary of the POPE, was struck on the forehead by a
ball, and died on the spot. The loss of the Swiss is
not yet ascertained. The people have had four
wounded. 'The Papal palace bears innumerable
marks of musket balls. The Swiss were protected
by the walls of the palace, and the civic guard by the
columns and barricades. All the troops of the line
aided with the people. Colonels ROVEREL and TIT..
7°141 directed the siege of the palace. During the
procession, the people, in allusion to Rossi's assassi-
nation, sung in chorus—
" Benedetta quella mana
Che it tiranno pugnalo."
(Blessed is the hand that slew the tyrant).
The very carabineers, who had been called in on
the previous day to fire on the people, joined in the
chorus.
, The Piedmontese Gazette of the 22d has the fol-
lowing.
" Rome, Nov. 17.—This morning, at daybreak, the
people pulled down the barricades which had been
erected at Montecavallo, but the gates of the Quirinal
Palace remained strictly' closed. At eight o'clock the
civic guard, who had assembled, some with and some
without arms, at the former place, resolved to disarm
the
-wiss and a deputation repaired immediately to the
-L ope, who eventually yielded to the demand that they
should capitulate, but only upon the condition that all
their live.; sheuld be spared. These conditions having
b'en accepted by the people, the Swiss soldiers have been
disarmed. They will leave to-night. At nine o'clock
the
civic guard took possession of all the gates which
guardthe had previously occupied, and
the Holy Swiss
Father is now protected by kthem. Of
the people and troops twelve were wounded and none
killed ; two persons, however, have most dangerous
wounds. It is not known whether any of the
Swiss were killed. Cardinal Palma, who was
killed on the spot, was the person who drew up the
celebrated encyclical latter of the 39th ofass April.istatiof the
The
ce
Pope is said to have counted upon 1.1
Populace of Transteveri and the mountains, but they re-
fused to engage in a civil war. If the Pope had not
acquiesced in the demands of the people they were de-
termined to force an entrance into his palace by means
of the cannon. The carabineers were furious, as some
of their comrades had been wounded by the firing of
the Swiss. They had brought with them a quantity of
combustible matter, with the intention of burning the
palace. One shot entered the apartment in which the
Pope was. A search was made by the people for Car-
dinal Lanahruschini, but he escaped in the disguise of a
dragoon. Galetti prevented th, mob plundering the
Palace of Cardinal Morandi. The military authorities
have submitted to the popular club. Romiui and Serini
have declared that it is quite impossible for either of
them to form part of the democratic Ministry. The
Pontiff is shut up in the Quirinal, which has been
entirely abandoned by his friends and advisers.
neither the etat major of the troops, nor
,the cortege of nobles, nor the prelates, have
peen to the palace to console him, even by a
single homage. Only the corps diplomutique have had
anniee il,n4e,rview with him, when he was found attended by
Cardinals Antonelli and Soglia. His Holiness is
said to have declared that, having been comp2lled to dis-
missl his guard, which ha 1 been replaced by strangers,
c was influenced by no feeling but that of sparing the
effusion of blood; but he declared, in the face of Europe,
that he would take no part in the future Government,
'tiring absolutely forbidden his name to be used, or that
his usual style, in consideration of the good pleasure of
tls Holiness should in future be prefixed to the Go-
vernmentof. Acts. These matters hold out anticipations
S aa nchaPpy future, because the Cardinal-Secretary of
tate signs tho.e Acts which the Pope does not directly
trie,Nnize, and the people are beginning to sspect that
f e concessions Attributed to the Pontiff do not emanate
thlra goodwill. It has been reported that a dispatch of
the King of Naples to Rossi has been seized, containing
announcement of a league with that despot, and the
enunciation of a disposition on his part to send troops to
„.P...Port the administratiou of Rossi. There is now pre-
