DISTURBANCES IN ITALY.

The Paris journals announce another isolated and ill
contrived attempt to bring about a revolution in the
States of the Church. It appears that, on the 24th of
September, an insurrection broke out atßimini, in which
certain of the inhabitants, and some Spanish and Pied-
montese refugees were implicated. On the night of the
24th about one hundred of these refugees landed near Ri-
mini. The insurgents immediately proceeded to the
fort of San Leo, situated at a short distance from the
town, and in which they are supposed to have had
partisans. They penetrated into the fort, and
set at liberty the political prisoners, •who were
very numerous. They next entered Rimini, where
they stopped the couriers, and carried off the
dispatches. The Cardinal Legate of Forli im-
mediately sent troops to Rimini. On the 27th, at their
approach, the insurgents, who without doubt had found
no support in the people of the town and environs, hastily
quitted Rimini, after abandoning their arms ; some of
them re-cmbarked, the others took refuge in the
mountains. It does not appear that any other
movement whatever took place throughout the Le-
gations ; but the fact bas excited the attention of
the authorities, and also the Government of Milan.
On the report of the attempt reaching Marshal RA-
DETZKI, the commander of the Austrian forces, he re-
inforced the garrison of Ferrara, and the Papal Govern-
ment had ordered the garrison of Ancona to be strength-
ened and the coasts strictly watched. The volunteers
had been called out, and every preparation made for act-
ing with vigour against the insurgents. We regard this
as a most melancholy affair. These deluded people
seem to act entirely without concert. They have heavy
grievances to complain of, for the Government of the
POPE is the very worst in Italy; and it would be
difficult to describe it in stronger terms ; but
these partial risings only give additional power to their
oppressors, and bring down on the victims the most
terrible punishment. A Papal Commission will forth-
with be constituted, and some twenty or thirty execu-
tions will be the melancholy result.
RE-APPEARANCE OF ABD-EL-KADER.

The accounts from Africa received at Paris
on Sunday, as published by 4 or our Con-
ICZ, are of a disastrous character. ADD-
EL-KADER had again appeared in the field near the
frontiers of Morocco, had completely surprised the
French troops, and taken terrible vengeance on all wh,
opposed his progress. The 'Wm' teur Also-len, Sept. 30, an
official journal says :—" A general insurrection had
taken place among the native tribes in that quarter,
and ADD-EL-KAEER, placing himself at their head had
opined the campaign, by cutting to pieces a body of
450 French troops." It appears the scheme had been
well planned, and the French were attacked by strong
bodies of Arabs on two separate points at once. One
of the French divisions was under the command of Lieut.
Col. MONTIGNAC. He had been basely allured into an
ambuscade by the Arabs, who pretended to claim his
protection. He was soon attacked by Ann-EL-KADER with
all his forces, and the column, surrounded on all sides

and overpowered by numbers, was almost entirely de-
stroyed. The other division was under Colonel Boust
JOLLY, and was more successful. The following are
the particulars of these disastrous encounters as
published in the Mon:teur Algerien :
" It would appear that the tribes residing on the western
frontier have risen in arms against us. Colonel Cavaignac,
who had advanced into the territory. of the Traras with a
column of 1,300 infantry, had two warm encounters with the
enemy. In one of these engagements M. Peyragai, chief of
battalion of the Zouaves was killed. On the 21st of Sep-
tember, Lieutenant-Colond Montagnac, Superior-Commander
of the fort of lljemmaa Ghazaouet, acceded to the entreaties
of the neighbouring tribes, who pretended to be menaced by
parties of the cavalry of Abd-el-Kader, marched out at the
head of 450 men of the Chasseurs of Orleans, and of the 2d

Hussars towards the Marabout of Sidi Brahim situate three
leagues from Djemmaa, and one and a half to the west of the
Nedroma-road. On the 22d he advanced to Dar-el-Foul
about a league further.
" The report of a brisk fusillade having been heard in that
direction from Djemmaa Ghazaouet, the captain of engineers,
in command of the fort, sallied out with 150 men to recon-
noitre, and open a communication with the column. He
was, however, obliged to retrace his steps before a numerous
body of armed men, and to provide for the security of his post.
Colonel Montagnac, basely betrayed, was allured into an am-
buscade by the very Arabs who claimed his protec-
tion. At a distance of four leagues, within our fron-
tier he was surrounded and attacked by Abd-el-
Rader, followed by all his forces, and assisted by
the numerous contingents of the savage tribes of
that part of Morocco. Our small column, overpowered by
numbers, was almost entirely destroyed. On receipt of that
intelligence General Lamoriciere, Governer-General ad in-
terim, embarked on the 27th in the Tartare steamer for
Djernmaa Ghazaouet, bringing with him the 3d battalion of
the 6th regiment of Light Infantry, Two other battalions
and a battery of mountain guns followed the Lieutenant-
General on the same day, in the steamers Euphrates
and Etna. In conclusion, we will content our-
selves with observing that the Bth regiment of Chas-
seurs of Orleans, and the 2d Hussars have a sad but
most glorious page to add to their military history."
We subjoin official details from the same authority
relative to the division under Colonel BOURJOLLY. In
one of the charges it will bo seen Colonel BERTHIER,
Aide-de-Camp of Louis PHILIPPE, was killed :
" General Bourjolly had entered the territory of the
Flittas to punish the individuals who had plundered a cara-
van of Arabs of the Desert, on their way back to their coun-
try, with the grain they had purchased in the Tell. He
little expected to find the entire tribe in open revolt. On the
21st he was vigorously attacked, and after a very warm
engagement he succeeded in reaching the camp of Ben-
Atia. Hostile groups showed themselves during the
whole day in the environs. The General had
given a rendezvous at Ben-Atia, on the 22d, to the chief
of battalion, Mansion, Commander of the fort of the khamis
of the Beni Ourags, on the Rion where that officer was sta-
tioned with his battalion. Fearing that the enemy might
attack that small column with a superior foree, he marched
on the 22d to meet it, with two battalions and his cavalry,
leaving two other battalions for the defence of the camp.
The junction took place without any difficulty, and General
Bourjolly returned in the evening to the camp of Ben-Atia,
after several encounters with the revolters in the
narrow passages through the mountains. The co-
lumn of Mostaganem had taken a supply of pro-
visions and ammunition for an excursion of only a
few days, in a country where some disturbances had occurred
but which he did not expect to find entirely under arms, and
roused to fanaticism by the presence of a Cheriff. To advance
still farther with the sick and wounded would have been im-
prudent. General Bourjolly resolved consequently to retire
on Bel-Acel, and there prepare to sesume the ofiensive. On
the 23d he encamped at Touiza, in the country of the Beni
Dorgouias, having been constantly harrassed by the
enemy in his retrogade movonent. The rear - guard,
consisting of 200 men of the 9th Chasseurs of Orleans,
was repeatedly engaged, and the squadrons of the
4th Chasseurs were obliged to execute several
charges to support them. Lieutenant-Colonel Berthier,
formerly Aide-de-Camp of the King, was killed in heading
a charge, and Commander Cler6, of the 9th Chassenrs, was
wounded in the knee by a musket ball. On tha 25th the
column encamped at Relizan, on the Mina, and the sick and
wounded were removed to Bel Acel. Colonel St. Arnaud,
Commander of the Subdivision of Orleansville, on receipt of
a dispatch from General Bourjolly, immediately marched in
that direction with his column. The Governor-General,
moreover, before his departure for Djemmaa Ghiazaouet,
sent off two battalions of the 6th Regiment of Light Infantry
to Mostaganem, under the command of Colonel Renaud."

The fg9iying is another accortat of the affair under
