Dates from Paris state that the news OF the
check met by the French troops in the Papal
States, has moved France to IFS centre, and touch
ed the people upona tender point. The French
General had marched from Civita Vecchla TO-
wards Rome; but meeting with a more serious
opposition than he expected, had halted a short
distance from the city, and was awaiting the ar
rival of the remainder of the expedition.

to the triumvirs the safety of the Republic, urg-
ing their forces to repel the French.
Barricades were erected to oppose the entrance
of the French, and the central committee protest

thew did, to blow up the Quirinal Vatican and St.
Peters. The Frenchman replied, that his or
ders were imperative, and that he would enter
Rome, fOrcibly, if necessary. He entered the
CITY, was received with a volley of musketry and
missiles, and retreated, with a loss Of 200 killed
and 500 wounded.
The English accounts state that the French did
not enter the city, but were whipped at the gates
with 600 killed. The French prisoners declar-
ed themselves tricked into the expedition, and
said they were made to believe they were going
to fight the Tuscans. Gen. OudinOt was taken
prisoner, but rescued, with much difficulty.
