ITALr-Opening Of tie Roman Assembly.-The
session of the Roman Constituent Assembly was
solemnly opened on the 9Th February. The Depu-
ties marched in procession from the capitol to the
palace of the Chancery, the old hall of which had
been fitted up for their reception At o'clock the
Ministers took their seats, and the senior Deputy
having been called to the chair, M. Armelini,
Minister of the Interior, read speech, in which
he endeavored to demonstrate the incompatbilty
existing between the temporal and spiritual power
of the Pope. On leaving the tribune he exclaimed
Italy and the People forever"' and the auditory
repeated the same cries. The Deputies were mostly
young men, and about 140 were present.
Deposition of the Pope.-We have from Rome the
important intelligence of the deposition of the
Pope, and the establishment of Republic.
This event took place at O'Clock in the morn
ing of the 9th of February, the Assembly having

to declare that the Government had not done all it
ought to have done relative to three things-arms.

He concluded by long examination of the acs of
the Provisional Government, several of which he
condemned. After some farther remarks, NJ. Corlo
Rusconi proposed that the present Ministry be con-
firmed. The motion was carried unanimously
and after some farther debate the sitting was sus-
pended for half-an-hour. When the Assembly re-
sumed, NJ. Savini moved the following decree:

NJ. Mamiani made long speech, in which he
declared that the temporal dominion of the Popes
had always been misfortune to Italy, and that
Rome was In such state that she could not have
any government but that of the Popss or that of
.Renzi. He then gave historical sketch of the
present state of Europe, which he examined at
great length, and, having come to the conclusion
that it would be extremely difficult to maintain the
Republic at Rome, he declared that in his opinion
the best thing the Assembly could do would be to
postpone the settlement of the form of government
for the present, and to leave the question to tie
decision of the Italian Constituent Assembly.
When he sat down, M. Mamiani was saluted
with groans and murmurs Of disapprobation M.
Mari replied 10 him and NJ FiInpanti warmly
supported the adoption of the Republican form of
Government, and insisted that the decree should be
at once adopted. M. Agostini followed, and also
opposed the postponement of the question proposed
by M Mamiani. At o'clock the Assembly adj
journed the debate for two hours. On the resllmp-
ton of the sitting, M. Oudinot proposed that the
Assembly should at once decree the deposition of
the Pope, but that it should be left to the Italian
Constituent Assembly to determine the Government
to be adopted long, debate ON this proposition
followed; but ultimately the Assembly resolved
almost unanimously, that the entire decree should
be adopted, and that not only should the Pope be
deposed, but the Republic established. or IA
members who voted, five only opposed the adop-
ton of a Republican form of Government The
proceedings were not closed until past two in the
morning.
HAnBuRG.-The Senate of Hamburg is about to
convene an assembly of the citizens for. the sole
purpose Of introducing bill for the emancipation
of the Jews The Council of Sixty has, according
to the statement of the Senate, agreed to this prop
ositon, but that of the Ancients made proviso
that the use of the Mosaic law, in matters relating
to matrimony and inheritance, shall at once cease,
while the Senate proposes that it shall still remain
in force.
The Second Chamber of the States General of
Sa1ony, unanimously adopted motion for the re-.
call of the Saxon Minister at Vienna.
AUsTRrA.-The latest intelligence from Esseg
proves that fortress is not yet in the hands of the
lmperialiss, although its surrender was reported
by the Vienna papers. On the contrary, it appears
that the Emperor's troops have merely taken the
town of Esseg, but that the citadel remains still in
the hands of the insurgents, who did considerable
damage by bombardng the town. The Austrian
troops endeavor toprotect themselves by temporary
Notifications from the hail of balls and shells,
which il is stated are continually pouring in Nor
have they been able to surround the whole of the
citadel, the northern road being still in thepower
OF the Magyars, who can thus receive provisions
and reinforcements The fortress of Arad remains
still in the hands of the insurgents The Austrian
force, under Gen. Theodorovich, amounting to
26,OOO men, has arrived TO lay siege to that impor
tant place. Serious disturbances seem to have
broken out in Croatia and Servia, but the accounts
OF their and extent are too conflicting to allow
OF any reliable statement
TuscANY.-The Grand Duke Of Tuscany and
family fled from Sienna on the 9Th. The official
statement Of this act was followed by immense agi-
tation IN every part of the city. The generate was
beaten, the national guards and troops called

whlle however, the clubs issued manifesto, con-
yoking the people, who assembled in great num-
beers, and proclaimed a Provisional Government
choosing Montanelli, Guerazz and Mazzoni as its |
chiefs. Immediately upon the Dukes fight, Mon !
tanelli, the Minister returned to Florence, and at
the meeting of the Chambers, which was hastily |
called, read to them letter. in which the Grand |
Duke declared that in order to avoid the excomm,l-
nication with which the Pope, in private COM |
mucicaton, had threatened him if he had adhered |
TO the Italian Constituent Assembly, he had come |
10 the resolution of quitting Tuscany, and that he
had taken the route of the Maramma. He had |
just finished reading this document when the cries
of the people without drowned all discussion; and
Immediately afterwards the multitude, who had
proceeded to the Chamber, rushed into the galleries
