FRANCE AND ROME.
SURRENDER OF RoNs TO THE FRENcH.-lt will
be seen that the army OF republican" s'rancc
has at length succeeded in geuing possession OF
Rome. Alter four days operations, between the
18th and 22i oil June inclusive, the French aril-
lerists succeeded in making three practicable
breaches in the walls, which, from heiL extreme
hardness, had been found very difficult 10 batter
down. A night assault on the breaches was then
arranged. No movement having been made in
that quarter for some time, the Romans appear, TO
have been thrown of their guard, and TO have
been taken by surprise. Covered by the dark
ness of night, the attacking column moved on in
stiffness, unperceved by The Romans, until an
important advantage had been gained. The as.
sailants we're then received By brisk discharges
Of muskeuy; but the French pushed on and gain
ed their position al the point OF the bayonei, la
king colonel and los prisoners.
A letter from Civita Veccha says: "ln tactthe
Romans were taken by surprise. The Roman
Colonel, who was taken on the breaches, was
going his rounds, and one.halt the prisoners
were common woflDen: II was only wh-n
morning broke that The lodgnen, OF the French
was distinctly perceived; but then it was 100
late; the three columns were fully covered, and
even battery OF tour pieces was in pusiton.-
All lha, The Romans could do vas 10 keep up
continual fire iron a battery in 'front.' and Two
dankirg batteries and TO cut eff communications
between the camp and the breach; bur the posi-
ton itself was won. the firing swept the ground
between the trenches and the breach, and, until
The night of the 23i the artillery deslined 10 form
additional batteries on The captured bastisns,
could not be moved, and The necessary operation
was only effected by continuing The zig gag from
the trenches to the breach iiself !! appears that
some officers OF grea, talent are in the Roman
camp, and nothing Qhe French engineer tells me)
can exceed the rapidly with which their Bate
ries are constructed or The excellence and pre-.
cision OF their ERE. Il required AL the skill Of
practisei engineers to oppose them, and il Is
more than doubtful TO which army The palm OF
merit In that department belongs"
