populace and put to death--ther bodies have
been hacked into the smallest pieces, then
cast into the Tiber.
The combined powers Of Europe, will
scarcely be able even to set up his Holiness
again on the throne of the Vatican. The
tide of feeling has overlooked him, and the
Romans seem now bent on excluding sarcer-
dotal and political authority for ever.
Intelligence by telegraph has beenreceiy-
ed from General Oudinot to 18th inst, at
which time there was strong probability,
that the French troops would be permitted
to enter Rome without opposition, In the
Generals despatch, he says, "serious propo-
sitions Of submission are made to me--al-
ready the anchors ofsaiety to the Romans
the 900 French Prisoners in Rome were
accompanied to Palo, with all demonstra-
tons OF Joy"
The Austrians had not entered Bologna, at
the date Of the last accounts; but they had
possession Of some Of the gates, and the
surrender was hourly expected. The Bo-
lognese defended themselves nobly. They
had offered to acknowledge the Pope, on
condition that he would consent to dismiss
all the priests of his government; but the
Austrian commander replied, that subjects
could not be permitted to dictate conditions
to their sovereigns.
AT Venice, Radetski has gone farther
than this. The Venetians asked for an
armistiee, in order that they might obtain
mediation Of France and England, to which
they had applied He answered that the,
Emperor, his master, would never permit
foreign power to interfere between him and
his rebellious subjects The Austrians were
repulsed on the 9Th instant in an assault,
and the Venetian account states that they
made rally and took 500 prisoners; which
needs confirmation.
A fresh attempt was making at Palermo,
to get up an armed resistance against the
Neapolitans, but it appears Of doubtful
success.
Tuscany and Modena are more or less
disturbed by these hostile proceedings.
AT Leghorn and Florence all is. fighting
and confusion The Tuscan troops, having
been supported by the Austrians, entered
Nlodena on the ] tn instant.
FRANCE.
The closing meetings Of the National As
sembly We're taken up with discussions on
the Italian question, in which the Ministry
finally obtained majority Of 3s.
1t would seem from the statement made
on the subject, that NJ Odl!on Barrot did
not give any instruction to General Oudnot,
recommending the occupation Of Rome at
all; and it had been determined that the
expedition should proceed to Civita Vecchia,
and there remain, as moral check on the
advance of the Neapolitans and Austrians,
and only to march onward in case Of abso-
lutte necessity. The Ministry were not,
however, unanimous in this /; and it is feared
that General Oudinot was influenced in his
conduct, by the advice oil certain faction,
of which NJ. de Fuoni is the head
On Saturday, in reply to an attack by M.
Flocon, it was stated, that as soon as the
Government heard that the Russians were
to interfere in Germany, the cabinet wrote
at once to London, st. Petersburg, Berlin
and Vienna. They considered it circum-
stance to be deplored, they would endeavor
to annul it by diplomatic means; and if they
should fail, the Government then would
apply to the National Assembly for its ad-
vice and countenance,
In consequence Of vote Of censure by
the Assembly, M. Leon Faucher, Minister
Of the Interior, resigned his portfolio into the
hands Of the President; and it is said that
several Others Of the present ministry will
resign, as soon as they can do so, without
embarrassing the President.
PARIS MISUNDERSTANDING to the
returns received up to midnight on Thurs

candidates. According to another statement
it would appear that nine Socialists and
nineteen Moderates had been elected The

majority Of votes. In Paris we notice the
names Of Lucien Murat, Ledru Rollin,
Victor Hugo, Odillon Barrot, Cavaignac,
and Pierre Leroux.
The Constitutional states that the cleo
ton Of SO departments, known on Thurs
day night, gives the following result: 453
representatives, Of whom 29s are moderates,
eighty democrats, or socialists, and seventy

GERMANY.
The plot gradually reveals itself in Ger
many. The soyereigns have evidently COM
bined for the overthrow Of the Liberals.
There has been formidable disturbance
at Dusseldorf, on the Rhine, but it has been
suppressed.
At Frankfort the riot was becoming more
revolutionary and anarchical every day.
All the moderate men have in consequence
left it.
Prussia has followed the lead Of Austria,
and Withdrawn her delegates from Frankfort
The other principal towns will now doubtless
do the same The Grand Duke Of Baden
has been obliged to fly from his capital,
whilst in Eberfeld, Dusseldorf, Hagen,
Oselinn, and in all the market towns in Rhe-
nish Prussia, the insurgents have erected
barricades, and make the constitution pre-
tence for tumult.
At Burlin sort at Congress has assem-
