ITALY.

We learn from the Pensiero Italiano of the 20th
that the Roman Ministry has resigned e7l masse.
The ATha of Florence quotes a letter from Bo-
logna, announcing that Senator ZUCCHINI has refused
to form part of the Provisional Government, and at
the same time has sent in his, resignation as Senator.
The consequence of this act has been an address of
the national and popular clubs to the Roman people,
censuring in strong terms the conduct of M. ZUC-
CHINI.

M. CAMPELLO, Minister at Rome, has answered
General Zt.iccul's letter to him in the following terms :
—" General CARLO Zucenr, your words are unworthy
of a man of honour. I pity you, and excuse your age
He is vile who betrays Italy."
The Contemporaneo of Rome, of the 15th, con-
tends that, before leaving Rome, the Pore was not,
even for a single instant, a prisoner in the Palace of
the Quirinal. On the contrary, General GALLIENO
went to him to assure him that the post of the civic
ready to retire if its presence was displeasing to his
guard
Holiness.
the palace was purely a guard of honour,

The Speranza of Rome asserts that the POPE has
made up his mind to reside temporarily at Civita
Vecchia, under the protection of an Anglo-French
fleet; and that in such case he would name a new
Ministry, composed as follows :—Cardinal ANTO•
NELLI, President of the Council ; MONTANARI, Inte-
rior and Police ; Rosidim, Public Instruction ; Mar-
quis BEVILACQUA, Finance; Marquis Ricci, Com-
merce ; General ZUCCEI, War. It is said that this
determination has been suggested by the English
Minister at Naples.
The French fleet is expected in the Adriatic.
The Venice Gazette, of the 13th, publishes two
decrees of the Provisional Government, the first or-
dering the formation of a legion of Chasseurs of the
Alps, composed of the inhabitants of the Cadore, Bel-
lunese, the province of Feltro, and the seven com-
munes present at Venice ; the second ordering the
formation of a Dalmato-Istrian Legion, composed of
inhabitants of those provinces.
Mr. TEMPLE and Sir WILLIAM PARKER went
from Naples to Gaeta on the 17th to pay their re-
spect to the Pore. Nothing further had been done
by the negotiators with regard to the affairs of
Sicily.

SHIPWRECK AND NAEROW ESCATE OF A DOVER
PILOT.-0.1 Tuesday night, Mr. Gutsole, Cinque Ports
pilot, was shipped from Dover, by a Deal boat, on board
a Sicilian brig, from Pernambuco fur London. The wind
blew strong from the eastward, and on arriving off
Sheerness had increased to such a degree that the pilot
was compelled to let go his anchors in Manson hole. The
gale still continuing, the brig drove with her anchors,
and at four o'clock ran on the sands. The crew launched
the long boat, which they entered; but the painter broke
adrift, and the captain and Air. Gutsole were left on
board, where they remained in a most perilous situation
till nine o'clock, when they were taken from the rigging
a French fishing boat, and landed at Boolar,tle. Yes-
t« relay morning they arrived at Dover by her Majesty, 's
packet Undine. The brig has since become a total
wreck, her topmasts on being vibiboe. a near that
the crew in the long boat succeeded in landing at Sheer •
ness.—Dover Telegraph..
