The news p -evaiIed at Paris on Friday even
ing that Oudinot had succeeded in entering the
city of Rome in consequence of a rising OF the
populace against The TriumviFate. The French
Government, however, had received no official
information of the fact, but negotiations tor
that purpose had been renewed with a Proba-
bility of a successful termination. The news
from Rome is vague, According to accounts
given by wounded men returned TO Toulon'
the seige was proceeding warmly. The heat
was intense, and it was feared that the number
Of sick would be increased.
The news Of the instruction in Paris caused
great excitement in the Departments. Dis
tur rances were apprehended at Lyons, Mar
s%eillee, and Havre. The Government was
prepared for such emergencies, relying upon
the faithful attachment Of the troops Of Paris
The legion Of artillery Of the National Guard
were discharged and partially disarmed IN
Guiscame. The Colonel has been arrested
Ledru Roiin was arrested on his way TO Lyons
The Assembly had concurred in the proposal
to close the clubs for one year as a matter OF
urgent necessity. Paris was tranquil at the
latest dates.
LONDON, II P, m.-ThC daily newspapers have
news from Rome to the afternoon Of the 9th.
as follows:
The attack has been resumed at the same
point as yesterday, and cannon are again thun.
defing behind fort Pancraglo. The palace
Zorpada, pa.azza Madonna, and church Santa
Zambina, on the Aventine, already show the
effects Of the enemy's shell. The damage nc
doubt will be frightful before the destruction
is over. A tremendous thunder and lightning
storm just now adds to the warning elements
Of man, and the scene is awfully grand. The
quarter Gransteven, which was bombarded OF
the 9Th, has been almost destroyed. Oudino
had summoned the Romans to surrender By
the 9th, or that an assault would be made or
that evening on the city. The journals arr
void of any thing further as to the defeat anc
retreat Of the French.
