ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the 26th ult. says—
" Yesterday 6,000 French troops marched out in fine
order, commanded by General Baraguay d'Hilliers, when
a sham fight took place. An immense concourse of the
Romans went to see it. The rapidity (f movement and
vivid firing were surprising. No accident whatever
occurred, and the day was delightful. The General
gave a soiree in the evening, which was attended by all
the noblesse of Rome; it was remarked that no Cardinals
were present."
Letters from Rome in the Nazionale of Florence
state that several thousand Austrians are shortly
expected there for the ostensible purpose of raising
the Imperial arms over the hotel of the Austrian
Embassy.
Cernuscbi, who was acquitted by the French court-
reartial of the charges brought against him, has been
again arrested by order of the Cardinals, and will be
• again tried on the same accusation.
Letters from Leghorn, of the 23d nit., state that
the fortress of Portoferrsjo is to receive an Austrian
garrison. The Austrians are fortifying the fort
of Portamurata, at Leghorn, on the land side. A
battalion of Imperial cavalry arrived at Leghorn on
the 221. Arrests are still the order of the day. M.
Antoine Bonaparte has arrived from Marseilles, and
proceeded to Florence.
