reduced on Ist June by sickness and the fire of

"A foreign journal," says the Pays, "speaks
of serious disturbances which are said to have
broken out at Rome between the French troops
and the soldiers of the Pontifical army. The
following is the real truth on the subject :—On
hearing of the events at Genoa and Naples, some
demagogues, seeing that they bad not the power
of doing anything at Rome, sought to excite the
Pontifical soldiers against the French troops, who
have made themselves remarkable for their excellent
conduct and admirable discipline. Colonel Yanni,
who commands the Pontifical army since the death
of General Farina, on hearing of these facts,
adopted the most energetic measures, and with the
exception of three or four isolated cases, which
were speedily put an end to, and in which it was
clearly proved that the French troops were not the
aggressors, no disturbance has taken place. Every-
t dug was promptly put an end to, and the popu-
lation of Rome have had an additional proof of the
good spirit of the French troops."
The Emperor, the day before yesterday, at ten
