THE CAPlTULALlON OF ROME.

place on the 30Ih Of June, when il was announc-
ed by telegraph to the French ministry. The
Intelligence having been communicated in this
way, we are, of course, without any delails.-
All that is known is that the Roman Assembly
notified the fact by the following resolution.
and that a municipal depuIaIion forthwith pro-
ceeded to the camp Of Oudinot to arrange the
terms.
"The Assembly"-such was the announce
meLt-"ceases a defence which has become
impossible, and remains a, its post. Ii charges
the Triumvirate with the execution Of The pre-
sent Decree"
Infamous as the whole affair has been for
France, there are few who do not rejoice that
the idea Of farther resistance has been abandon.
ed. IL now remains to be seen whether the
Romans will remain true 10 their leaders. or
whether Oudinot and his connsellors will sue
ceed by intrigue in destroying their power and
procuring a reaction in favor Of the priests
From Italians, and especially Italians Of the
Roman States, we must not expect much
Should the Trumvirs, however, still be able to
command general support, the difficulties Of the
French will he of the most remarkable charac.
ter. Meanwhile every engine is set in motion
TO SOW dissenson between Mazzinni and his COL
! leagues, and to damage him among the people
whom they have elevated and preserved. The
French p,ess sidulousy represent them as a
faction, riding over the loyal wishes Of the po.
PulalOn, while the leading English newspa-
pers work indelatgublv in the same spirits by
denouncing them as "consPiraIors" and $50
cialisls."
On the events which preceded the cnpitua-
ton, those which have been narrated up to the
present time, do not appear to have been very

announced, and he was consequently recalled.
While the siege was proceeding, letters were
published in some Of the French papers, pur-
porting to have been written by officers high in
Oudinots camp to the effect that The loss al.

it would take, Under the present mode Of pro,
gress, at least so DAYS more before the final as

! however, that a position was at length ganed'
which considerably increased the power Of the
besiegers, and that 500 Romans were killed
and wounded on the occasion. Another in.

Roman deputy who had accompanied Lesseps
, to Paris. and who was now furnished by the
: French Government with an authority to pass
through Oudnot's lines, and to enter the city,
: in order, doubtless, that he might communicate
the fate of the outbreak ia Paris on the 3lh Of

their iniquilous course without opposition. Pro-

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
The friends of Hungary take up the newspa.
pers each day with a nervous hand, dreading 10
meet some account of pitched battle which
shall have sealed the destruction of that coun-
Try. Up to the present time, however, nothing
very fatal has Wanspired, although the plans of
Russia are upon a scale which continues TO de-
note that the Ilungarans are 10 he hunted and
subugatod like the Poles. All the accounts
received during the past week came from Aus
trian sources, and Rre therefore deserving of

and il is quite certain that the conflict is every
day assuming more and more the character OF
a tremendous death struggle. Among recent
successes, the Auslrians report that on the 9th

1000 prisoners, as we'll as their artillery, flags
ammunition and baggage. They also say that
at place called Szoben, the Hungarians were
overpowered with the superior numbers of the
Russians, and lost 800 men, and, finally, it ap-
pears that, on the e8th of June, the Ausrlans

peror entered the conquered city. There are
!, likewise rumors ofa battle with the Hungarians
! headed by Bem, in Pennsylvania.
With regard TO these several accounts, il is
