entrance of the French.
Cannon are planted at the gates and

CeviIa Vecchia.
The long cornered gallery, erected by
Pope Borgia between the Castae of ST..
Angelo and the Vatican Palace. has been
blown up by powder; the fragments being

A Adeputation ofthe Central Committee
had protested against the invasion, in
forming Oudinet that Rome would resist
his entrance by force. aud, if necessary,
blow up the Quiernal. Vatican, aud ST.
Peters Church. which were already un
dermined. The General replied that his
instructions were imperative. and that he
would enter Rome by force. if not quietly
received.
An eye witness gives the following
description ofthe attack on the city:
A company of the first battalion of Fu
zilliers, sent To the gates of Rome, being
received with musket shots. returned IL
good order, and soon another part of the
division advanced, and without difficulty,
into the midst of the capitol, the streets
of which were barrcadcd; but they were
received by we'll directed fire Of mus.
kerry and storm Of missiles from the
windows and roofs ofthe houses.
The 20lh regiment Of the line, which
was in front, was severely treated, and a
company ofvoItigeurs was almost entirely
destroyed. At last seeing the imprac-
bility of continuing the struggle. which
had become SO fatal to his troops, Oud-
met ordered a retreat, aud the expedi.
tionary corps occupies at this moment a
strong position near Rome. We had a.
bout two hundred killed, of whom some
are officers, and among them is Oudinel's
aid de-camp. There are also several
hundred wounded.

at all; that all the fighting took place ou:-
side of the wall The gates ofSan Pan,
cragio Perlez and Calcallegen were
points of attack. A sorle was made by
Grarliadi as the French advanced, and
the Celts are said by corr espondenis To
have had six hundred killed on the spot.
There were ASP Frenchnen taken rriso.

streets, were heard to declare that they
had been tricked into the expedition by
promises Of being led against Austria.

The Italian c0mbatants caught hold of
him, and his men had great difficulty in
eiiecling his rescue.
On Thursday, the Paris papers gave
no certain information ofthe entry of the
French into Rome. All that we could
learn is,ihatthe Neopoitans were march

the French would occupy it befre
them.
The Constitutional states that it was
reported that the French army made good
their entry into Rome, and had taken
several prisoners, among whom were only
five Romans,
Upon receipt oflhe news ofthe French

Slb:
My Dear General-The telegraphic
news announcing tho strong resistance
which you have met under tho walls of
Rome has greatly panied me. had
hoped that the inhabitants of Rome,
opening their eyes to evidence. would re-
coive with eagerness an army which had
arrived to accomplish friendly and dis.
interested mission.
This has not been tho case, however.
Our soldiers have been received as en-.
emies; our military honor is injured.
will not suffer it 10 be impugned. fpr re-
shall not be wanting to
you.
Tell your soldiers appreciate their
bravery and take part inwhat they endure;
aud that they may always rely upon my
support ond my gratitude.
My dear General, receive the assu
rance ofmy sentiments with esteem.
