history of mankind, but, perhaps, no one occur
renee there is of more abiding importance, in the
lesson it teaches, than the Instruction in Rome
IMPORTANT FROM ROME.

The Pope having refused to declare war against
Austria, an instruction took place
The Ministry resigned, and twenty-four hours
were allowed to the Pope for his final decision
In the event of his refusal, Provisional Govern
ment WAS to be Immediately appointed.
ITALY.
The eternal city is in high instruction.
Rome may be considered in a state of siege.
Plus N. whose name was lately the symbol OF
Italian emancipation, and who was personally
the idol Of tho people, and, now pronounced a
'reactionnaire," is left nothing but the name OF
the sovereignty of Rome, and scarcely even that
What appears certain is, that when the declar-
alton of the Pope against proclaiming war against
Austria and disappearing of the passage of the
20 by the Pontifcal troops became known, the
population OF the Holy City rose as one man
the National Guards took possession Of all the
gates; scntnels were placed at the doors of the
residences of all the cardinals, who were detained
prisoners; 4 committee Of which the celebrated
Cicero Vecchio was President, took possession of
the post office, where all the correspondence was
seized the letters addressed to the cardinals were
opened and read.
A letter from Rome, dated the LIST inst. says,
that the moment the declaration of the Pope a.
boYe mentioned became public, Populations from
the municipality, the clubs and the civic guard,
proceeded 10 the palace, where they remained for
nearly four hours in conference with his Holiness

city were seized. The result of this conference
was what has been already announced, that the
Ministry was retained in office, receiving full pow
crs TO exercise governmental all temporal affairs
without the sanction or sign manual of the Pore
The Ministry thus became a Provisional Gov

A letter from Leghorn dated the 4tl, affirms
that republic was proclaimed i'll the Roman
States 1t is added that people proclaimed q tenn
poral forfeiture of the Pope, named a laical pro-
Nisional government, and proclaimed a republic
with reclamation.
The centre coup of these events, (says this wri-
teri was felt at Lcghorn. Numerous groups OF
people armed in the streets. Republican pla-
cards were posted on the wall. The crowd zen
masse" uttered shouts of Long live the Romans,
death to tyrants and traitors" Before this eve
ming, perhaps, the Tuscan dynasty might have
survived. Another letter mentions a report that
the Pope had been obliged TO leave the Quirinal
and retire into the castle of St. Angelo.
From Venice we learn that Zucchi. being sum-
uoIied to capitulate answered the summons by
discharge Of cannon, which made great carnage
among the body of tho enemy who bad advanced
