The State of Rome.

The LOndon Times contains letter lLom Rome
written by one who regards things from the enti-Re
publican point of view but who nevertheless admits
that the Roman Republicans cannot be overcome with
out virtually destroying the Roman States. lie says
the French and Neapotsns together cannot except by
Overwhelming numbers, subduc city and population
in the state in which Rome now is The city contains
10000 men under arms animated by the most resoute
spirit and on going from Rome through provincial
places the writer met large bodies of Fastening TO
the assistance Of the capital We extract paragraph
from his letter:
AT Zerni we met regiment Of 800 men, all fine
looking troops in lump and Spoloto, Perugio and
other places the towns alive with them and carts
by twos and threes dozen full of men ana baggage
all singing the national songs, met us az every turn
dare say there must have been between 400 and o0
men that saw, beside what came 10y other routes
every city violent than the last against Pio
Mono and for the RepabicdR0falHd. Nay the enihu-i
asm spreads still iarther-near the Roman frontier We
met ten mounted dragons riding the same way They
were the Tuscan Cavalry Guard at the frontier, who
lust caloped it, horses equipment and al-and
OF 10 Rome Farther on We met many hundred Ius-
can officers and men, well armed and equipped who IN
ike had only deserted but had stolen their
and as many arms and ammuniuons a. they could
lay hands on, and All on the same way lhese were
mostly from ArezzO, IN fact wherever we ask ques
ton the Republican spirit oozcs out IL the reply hercc
merry, uncompromisng
The writer thinks it impossible that the admintra.
ton Of the government by the priesthood should ever
be restored He says;
"It is obvious that the Popes day il at an end
nothing short of military occupation can ever give no
Mono and his Cardinals seat in the Vatican again
And would IL be just 10 thrust on the Roman people
ruler whom they hate-whose attendants and depend
ents executors OF his Government they have really
had cause to hse-whose incspacity for governing IN
secular affairs is proved by the melancholy condition
OF the Roman States contrasted with that Of their
neghbors Thus, though the Roman question IL en-
phatc ally European one-snd Tor their own sakes IL
would seem expedient that the powers OF Europe
should settle it-etn regard must be had TO the inter
es,s of the people and good Government be secured
70 them"
What such good government would be the writer
confesses TO be too mighty question for HIM ho
states however the OF his letter that the city
was never in more orderly state internally than since

FROM ibe rev pfedh. bcIA
We give above map Of the city, indicating,
by waving line the inundated district 1t will be
seen that at least one-half Of the Incorporated
limits the city is under water, though this by no
means includes half of the inhabited and i'm
proved poriion of the city. The waving line marks
the advance OF the water TO the point where 1t is
navgable by small boats it backs up, however
through the cutters and partially mandates other
portions of the city outside Of the waving line. The
water flowing through the rear OF Lafayette en-
tiers the city on the swamp side OF the Apollo
street ridge, and submerges all the streets west
of a point half way between Bacchus and Drya-
des. Near the head Of Dryades-street is the Dry
AIDES Market, which is a few inches under water
being built several feet above the level of the
street This market is still kept open, and a few
people resort to it in boats and on bridges.
On the upper side of the market is the Mepo
meme Canal, which drains the streets as far as
Camp street, through the ApolO-street ridge
TIE water In this canal is now almost stationary
aud is backed up as far as CamF-street, withln a
few inches of the level OF the street, except at
a polio and prytania streets, the highest ground
in the municipality. IL vii t@ke a rise Of four or
five feet to inundate these streets. Dryades, Her
cules and White, are comparatively new settle
inents, but they are generally well built up with
neat and new houses so are the cross streets.
Poly mnia, Enterpe Terpsichore pomene Tina
liza, Erato, Clio aud alllope, which are all under
water from Dryades out 20 the swamp. Benton,
Liberty aud Howard, more sparsely settled
and all back OF these are pretty much Included Ia
the swamp. The water after OveriiOwlng the
rear of the second aud fourth squares, lncines to-
ward the New Canal, avoiding Triton Walk

overflow begins 70 intrude upon the sbOdes OF the
wealthy. On Canastreet, II stretches from Ca
rondelet ~ the swamp. including many elegant
residences in some OF which the lower doors are
brcked up. and small skitis fastened 70 their steps.
The State House including the offices OF the Gov
ernor Secretary of State, State Treasurer and
Auditor are all inundated. These dIgnitarles are
daily bOated TO their duties In small skIifs, the IN
genuity OF the State Engineer not having yet con
structed means OF protecting the state build

tiers become deep enough 70 swim small schoo'

Passing over into the First Municipality, the
water is thrown back a little by the resistance OF
the solid block of buildings between DauFhine
and Bourbon. and recedes as tar as midway be
tween Daphne and Burgundy, as # it were de-
termined not to neglect our worthy Mayor, who
resides on Burgundy, between Custom-House aud
Canal, and whose residence Is IN water several
feet deep. From this point ID the swamp the
whole OF the First Munlcpa ty, the old square OF
the CITY, Is one unDroken lake. IL Is Dlllt up and
thickly settled for eleven or twelve squares ont
from Burgundy street, presenting front OF SIX

fouth OF the squares and houses 10 the First Mu
nicipatv In this district are the Catholic Gem
eteries the old and new. which embrace perhaps
the largest number Of beautiful aud tasteful tombs

the water approaches the Old Canal, It begins
again 10 recede. and. encountering the strong ie-
Canal into the Bayou It. John where, on account
of various impediments, it creeps slowly toward
the Lake, which IL an average Of three or four
feet lower than the inundated streets. From the
best estimate we can make, there are ut d, asst
seventy squares inundated in the First Municipal

and which has been attended with the most happy
results The treatment Is as follows " hen

ease the following means msy be resorted 10, 70
relieve the cramps or spasms or to produce re-
action when the patient is In state OF collapse
Place the patient IN bed covered warmly win

A reaction ensue. The yapor, arising from the
use OF lime in this way, has beside a purifying
