Revolution In Rome.
After the assassI nation of M. Rossl, before
ported the mob, at the nstigation of the clubs,
proceeded IN body to the Quirnal Palace, on
the 10Th ult., when they demanded new minlstry,
the immediate declaration of war, &c.
About one hundred Swiss Guards resisted them.
The diplomatic body also entered the palace to
protect the Pope by their moral influence. Some
endeavor was made to set fire to the principal
gates but few shots from the Swiss caused the
mob to retire.
Shortly afterwards, the Civic Guard, the GEN.
darmeie, the Line, the Roman Legion, num-
berlng some thousands, invested the palace, In
order of battle, and commenced fAsiNade against
the windows. The Swiss were overwhelmed,
and the Pope's Secretary, Monsgnor Palma,
was shot IN the breast. The Bescaners, by
their overwhelming force, compelled sub
mission. Negotiations were opened and
a list OF ministers, comprising the names of those
who had got up the conspiracy, was sent to the
Pope who, under the duress of and the fear OF
personal danger, was compelled to submit to any
dlctaton. The authority of the Pope is, in fact,
now a nullity.
On the 18th the Ministry was formed, with
Mazzarelli, President of the upper Chamber, Pre-
sldent of the Council, &C., Mamiami, Stefbina,
Campello, Lunat, and Serini. The Swiss were
sent away, and the National Guard occ uped their
post in the castle The popular club is the SUI

The new ministry has put forth an address, in

France.
AS the period approaches tor the election of Pre-
sldent of France, the excitement daily increases.
The Interpolation and explanation which took
place IN the National Assembly, terminated IN tn
the declared sentiments OF the Chamber. A ma
GRITTY of SOB 81, carried vote of confidence that
General Cavaignac had deserved well of his coun-
try.
The General, IN a speech, went over all the
points Of the accusations made against him, OF
having, by culpable neglect IN not providing for
the defence of PARIS, actually promoted the Insur-
rectlon of June, with view to raise himself to
power.
For brief TWEEN ty. four hours, the effect of
Cavaignac's speech was highly satisfactory.
The funds improved, and his chances for the
Presidency increased; but on Tuesday, the
manifesto OF Louis Napoleon appeared. A
change again came over the minds OF the
ParIsians, and the star of Bonaparte once
more rose IN the ascendant 1t cannot be
denied that the Princes address eminently
calculated to win favor from almost all
parties.
General Cavaignac has taken another step within
these few days, which cannot fail to influence the
contest. In consequence OF the alarming news
front Italy, and the fears at one moment enter
FAMED of actual personal danger to the Pope, from
his own subjects, and his reported flight from
Rome, Cavaignac has despatched four steam
frigates carrying brigade OF / 500 men to Civta
Vechia, for the purpose of securing the liberty of
His Holiness, and respect tor his person.
M. Corcelles has been sent of suddenly to Rome
as Envoy Extraordinary, to confer with the French
Ambassador, M de Harcourt, and act jointly with
HIM in accomplishing the object Of his mission.
A reinforcement of troops will Immediately
follow
Cavaignac has read to the Assembly M. Bastlde's
instructions to M Corceles. The despatch re.
pudiates, IN the strongest manner any intention
whatever of interfering IN the domestic differences
between the Romans and the Holy Father. On
the day the above communication was made to
the Assembly, Gen. Lamoriciere, Minister of War,
developed his plan of reducing the army from
100000 to 292 600 men, thereby reducing the army
estimates to ,000,0O0f, and efiectng saving of
100000, OO0f.
The most strenuous efforts are being made by
the government to carry Cavaignac's election, but
still the cause of Louis Napoleon preponderates
The funds it will be seen, have somewhat I'm
proved. The three rer cents have risen to i42 80 /;
the five per cents to f65 10.
