The Foreign News-Arrlval o. the Gale.

We were In hopes of being able to place befor
our readers, this morning, the full details of the
foreign news brought TO Boston by the steamship
Caledonia but she did not reach that city in
time for the mail, we are obliged TO make out with
our express and Geographic summary ill to-mor-
row. II will be found on the first page Of this
days paper. The synopsis ofthe commercial news
was given in an Extra Herald yesterday morning
but we had political miscellaneous intellI.
gence TO publish, because Of the interruption in
the telegraphlc communication between this city
and Boston.
The most important point of the political ntelll-
gence which we have thus received, is the entry of
the French army into Rome on the I'd instant
and, strange to say, they were received with ac-
CARNATIONS by the Roman people. What is more
strange and wonderful still, is the statement that
some divisions of the French army were conducted
TO Civi,a Vecchia, where they were to lay down
their arms that two divisions were to be lodged
and maintained at the expense of the Roman go.
vernment; and further still, that General Oudinet
has been recalled in disgrace, and that the Army
of Italy is to be increased to the number OF fifty
thousand men.
The character of this intelligence is so different
from what we expected, that we really do no, know
President and his ministry have turned round,
and adopted distinct and different policy from what
they determined on at first, IN regard to Rome
Can it be that the ministry have given to the Ro-
mans, and that the latter have received the French
as friends? Can il be that Louis Napoleon and his
ministry have abandoned the vile, villanous, and
dastardly determination of subdulng the young
republic, and have, by making scape-goat of
I..l.
abe reverse OF what was pursued in the first place,
and, instead of waglng war on the Roman republic
cans, coalescing and making common cause with
theml Really, we wish we had our foreign files
and correspondence before US, that we could
answer these interesting and important questions
Yet, in their absence, we are inclined to reply
affimatiyey TO them. We are certainly inclined
TO think that Louis Napoleon and his cabinet have
come 10 their senses. General Oudnot certainly
fulfilled his instructions; but he is recalled in dis
grace The Romans were determined to hold out
TO the last and yet they threw open their gates and
received the French army with reclamation; and
besides, We have the fact that the French army in
Italy is TO be augmented TO the number Of fifty
thousand men. But more-an ambassador has
been sent by Louis Napoleon TO ST. Petcrsburgh,
TO protest against Russian interference in Italy.
THIS change in the foreiga policy of France was
certainly unexpected by us. We made up our
minds that the President OF that republic had be-
come a traitor TO republican principles, and had
resolved 10 destroy the young Roman republic,
and restore the Pope 10 his temporal sovereignty,
Mt all hazards. We await anxiousy the receipt of
our exchanges and correspondence.
As yet we have not received any reliable intel.
lgence from Hungary. The contest between
those gallant sspiranis for freedom, and the mi
Mons Of despotism, was still going on at the last
accounts; but the reports contradictory,
that there is no knowing TO which side victory
leans. The revolutionary spirit in Europe cer-
fainly is not yet subdued. Venice stll holds out
against the Aultrians; but the revoutonists Of
Baden have been defeated
We await with great anxiety the receipt Of our
files. If France has adopted policy coniriry to
that which che at first determined upon. il may
change the whole aspect Of European politics, aud
may precpitate the great struggle between liberty
and despotisrn, which must sooner or later take
place in Europe.
