RUSSIA.

LOMBARDY.

A skirmish has taken place at Rosco, near Verona,
between the Austrian and Sardinian outposts, in
which the latter had the advantage.

The Constitutionnel states that accounts have been
received in Paris that the first division of the
Russian fleet quitted Sebastopol on the 20th ult.,
steering towards the coast of Bessarabia. Many
conjectures were formed as to its destination. "It
is certain," adds the Constitutionnel, " that for a
considerable time past the CZAR has been en-
gaged in concentrating considerable forces in the
Black Sea, and that extraordinary activity has been
observed in the Arsenal of Sebastopol. The Grand
Duke CONSTANTINB went to inspect the works in
person. Those facts merit serious attention. They
denote the tendency of Russia to take advantage of
every great European commotion to act in the East."

ITALY.

ROME.

From the following extract from the allocution of
the Porn in the secret consistory held at Rome on
the 29th ult., it will be seen that Pius IX. has no
share in the declaration of war to Austria :

The Piedmontese Parliament (Senators and De-
puties) met in a preparatory sitting on Sunday,
the 7th.

The Gazette, of Milan, of the 4th, states that—

" General Durand() had addressed to his soldiers an
order of the day recommending discipline and modera-
tion, and congratulating the Swiss volunteers for having
taken up arms for the independence of Italy.
" General della Marmora has also recommended his
soldiers to show the greatest respect to persons and pro-
perty, under pain of exemplary punishment.
" It was reported at Vicensa, on the 29th, that the
Archduke John had arrived at Verona."

The journals of Turin, speaking of a proclamation
of General OUDINoT, which announces to the French
army of the Alps his approaching entrance into Italy,
are unanimous, while protesting their sympathy for
the French nation, in declaring that they desired no
foreign intervention in the affairs of Italy. La Con-
cordia says, " Italy must alone fight against Austria,
and the national Italian conquest must be an Italian
work."

"Everybody knows, Venerable Brothers, the words
which we addressed to you on October 4 of last year,
when we reminded princes of the paternal kindness and
attentive care which they owe to the people placed under
their power, and the people of the fidelity and obedi-
ence which they owe to their princes. Afterwards we
neglected nothing to impress these same sentiments on
all. Would to God that the effect had responded to our
paternal exhortations But every one is aware of the
public commotions which have taken place both in Italy
and in other countries. If any one should wish to pre-
tend that the path was opened to such events by the
acts which our love and kindness prompted us to

carry out at the commencement of our reign, that COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.°)

The Journal des Debats confirms the reports that
Pope Pius IX. is at present a prisoner in the hands
of his subjects, being virtually confined to his palace.
Rome has regularly rebelled against him, and the
probability is that his Holiness will be deposed as a
temporal Prince. In fact, the entire executive
authority appears to be exercised by the new Ministry
without any control on the part of the PONTIFF.
