For some days past our mind has been in sus
pense in regard to the events tanspiring in Italy
and Hungary, We were informed some time since
that Rome was taken by the French; but it is only
lately that we have heard the terms of the surrsn
der and we think long season will elapse ere we
learn what the French will be able to do now thai
they have Rome in their possession. The Pope
says he wilnot 60 back without the consent of the
Romans; and the Romans say they will have
nothing to do with the Pope as temporal ruler.
How then is Gen. Ohdnot to overcome this new
difficulty How is he to batter down the great
moral wall which separates the Pope from his for
mer subjects Swords and cannon, together with
all the paraphernalia Of war, including even bonn
bastc bulletins cannot level the moral differences
which exist between Plus the Nnth aud the Ro.
mans The difficulties Of the French invasion
have but began. The taking Of Rome was the
first Of long series OF troubles yet reserved for the
northern armies that are marching into Italy.
But, as we have before said it is to Hungary that

and signs for the deliverance of his country from

The Russian army under Paskiewitch, having
entered on the north from Gallica, is descending
the valley Of Thesis, while Jelachich, detained
for time by the obstinacy Of the fortress of Pc
terwardein, is ascending the same valley If the
two armies meet before Georgy can retire behind
the Thesis, the gallant Hungarian viii be cut off
from his friends BEN aud Dembnski, who keep up
the war ia the eastern provinces. As it is, there
can be but little communication between the Hun
garian armies and the rest Of Europe. Both in the
west and the east they are almost entirely sur
rounded by their enemies Hence our accounts
come mostly through Vienna, and can be lille re-
lied on. One Of the reports which the Cambria
brought was received throughthe Turkish Ambas-
sador at Paris and this probably is more to be re-
lied on than any we have recently had from the
Hungarian armies.

All the interest now lies in the movements of the
