FRANCE AND RoME.-The French Leg
islative Assembly has been the scene of
much turbulance and recrimination dur
ing the past week. The despotic spirit
which marks the proceedings of the Gov
ernment is having the effect TO unite va
rious sections of the Assembly, not here
tofore friendly, into compact opposition
to the Barrot Ministry in defence of Re-
publicanism.
On the 30th the Constituent Assembly

Parols,, Portesea and St. Pancrazio had
been thrown open to the French troops,
who were advancing measures for the
Immediate occupation of Rome, which
should take place with perfect quietness
and order. This communication produc-
ed deep sensation III the Chamber.

The division II Giribaldi has beer con-
ducted to Cevetia Vechia where they
would lay down their arms. No division
of the army would be lodged and main

Just previous to the reception of deci-
sive news from Rome, General Bedeas
left Paris to take command of the army in
Italy, General Oudinot having been Or
dered home in disgrace. Arrangements
were also promptly made to increase the
army of Italy to $4,000 men. Immedi-
ately on the reception OF the news OF the

telegraphic despatch was sent to Marsell-
les desiring General Bedeas to wait there
for fresh instructions before proceeding to
Rome.
HUNGARY AND AUsTRIA.-An official
bulletin has been issued by the Austrians,
announcing compulsatory retirement OF
the Hungarians from Raab, whence they
are said 10 have retired towards Acs pre-
vious to the capture of the city. Georgey
by declining battle at Raab and contln-
uino his retreat towards Gran, will i'm
pose upon the Austrian and Russian
armies the necessity OF leaving some
twenty thousand men before COmorn.-
Nevertheless, Georgey would never have
abandoned Raab, except with the lnten-
ton of detaching portion OF his force
against Taskewirlch.
A Cd edition of the London Herald says,
that rumor prevailed i'll Paris, IN the
Assembly, that the Hungarians had OBJ
tanned an immense advantage over the
Russians in the vicinity of Raab. The
Russians are said to have lost IL, 900 men.

Carlsruhe and Radstedt, in which the In
surgents were defeated. Gen. Beneker
has taken possession of Baden.
DENMARK AND THE DUTCHIEs.-Ihe
