Yesterday morning a party of students of the

honour of the birthday of General Garibaldi
and of the annexation of Central Italy to Pied-
mont. In the evening an enormous crowd assem-
bled in the Corso, consisting partly of political
agitators and partly of persons usually promenad-
ing there on Sundays. The gendarmes arrested
several. The crowd hissed, and then insulted
the police. The gendarmes unsheathed their
weapons, and dispersed the crowd. It is said that
forty persons, among them several spectators and
three French soldiers, were wounded. The crowd
shouted " Garibaldi for ever !" Mounted Pontifical
gendarmes succeeded at last in dispersing them.
The city was traversed by French patrols. It is
asserted that four merchants, two of whom are
Signori Silvestrelli and Titon, have been banished.
