that N. De Comedies has officially reported the
following Hs thu sum OF the injury done by the
French artillery 10 the monuments al Rome;
In the Vatican, in the hall of tapestry, executed
after the custom OF Rafaele, and in the picture
representing the preaching of ST. Paul, the lower
extremity OF the figure shows the mark of ball.
The Jrisa of the picture Is also slightly injured,
but the damage n these cases can be easily re-
paired.
The fountain of Agna-Paullns, near the poTta di
San PaHcrafio, has been touched by q shot,
which, however, an ordinary stone-mason can at
once repair. The church OF ST. Peter, in Monte
rio, which was fortified and occupied by Garibsdi,
was struck by many shot The chapel, painted by
3uonasotti, is not touched. The soldiers OF Carr
baldi have, however, destroyed the beautiful ba.
lustrade carved ty della PoTta and three paintings
of the school OF the Carscci have disappeared
The chu,ch, the Deoat says, has been sacked and
Profaned.
The temple built by Brsmonte on the spot Of the
crucihxion OF ST. Peter escaped injury, though a
she'll bust within few yards OF il.

THs CUBA INvA.IoS--SoNEr WoSDESYUL--
BY leIteT that sent 10 this city, several days
or two weeks age, and which got into the wrong
hands, il is said, and we are informed. the clue
10 the Scuba Expedition was partially had. The
letter was addressed 10 The Lieutenant Colonel OF
the expedition, who, il appears, resides in this
city, and who has quite a number Of " emgrants"
ready for the word of command. Now, 1t is sur
missed by US, that this "Cuba Expedition" was
planned By some long headed men, and that emf
grants from ell parts of The Union should sail at
the right time for California, ostensibly, but all
put into Cuba for rest, pleasure or supplies, and
when there, join the rebellion, destined TO over
throw the government, and make themselves safe
ia Moro Castle and other places the Island erect
a new government and apply for admission into tie
Union! Whether the Presidents Proclamation
will crush this deep laid scheme remains 10 be
seen. If reports be true quite a number of hardy
men in this part of the country, who are accustom-
ed TO fatigue and exploits ofdaing, were in league
TO be ready. Some persons deny the existence OF
the league intended for the invasion of Cuba, but
such men are blinded TO fac,s, else those facts
have not been revealed TO them. Let US wait and
see what Ia coming.-CiH. Com.
