MILITARY RIOTS IN ROME.
From tie Londoa NerS' COrr,SpoldeRi.l
ROME, June 26.
The peace of the Eternal City has been disturbed
for some days by sanguinary conflicts between
French and Roman SOldiCry, and the eud has as
sumed a more threatening aspect from an apparent
disposition on the part of the p0pulacc to take Il
share in the trays, which renewed in different
quarters of the city, with an auxiliary brick
bat or two in aid of the national troops
On Saturday last Roman arteryman was
mortally wounded by the French, and some
other fatal consequences on bothsides are said to
have arisen from this hostile state of affairs
Courts-martial are held by the French authorities
and if the offending parties can be caught and idcn-
titled, condemnation to the hulks usually follows
the row in few days. The Colosseum was the
aptly selected locality for these gladiat0rial per-
formances on Thursday last which day, being the
festival of St John, afforded good number of un-
occupied umpires and spectators of the fight. The
wooded gardens the Celian Hill were skirmished
through with varied success hard blows being given
and taken on both sides, and the missile style of
warfare much resortcd to account Of the penalty
of death awaiting the first military riotcr who
draws his sword, the French general being deter
mined if possible to put stop to so dangerous a
kind of amusement.
The French warriors were fortunate enough to
get renfOrcements in the of the engagement,
and the Romans in consequence were considerably
outnumbered, so that they were put to flight and
pursued by their enragCd adversares along the Via
Sacra and the Roman Forum, up the steep ascent to
the Capitol, which ancient stronghold afforded no
protection to the retreating forces, and the chase
continued until the narrow lanes on the other
side received the fugtiyes in detail and puzzled the
pursuers. Several wounded French brought up the
rear, route for the hospital last night, before the
rdppc called the soldiers to their barracks. Hostile
bands were biting their thumbs at each other the
bridge of st. Angelo, the Piazza Sora, and that
neighborhood where expectant crowds were col
lected in hopes of witnessing battles but with the
exception of skrmish in the Via del Curonari, the
presence OF numerous groups of officers and strong
patrols prevented any serious conflict
As the most tremendous consequences might re-
suit from this eud if allowed to continue, General
de Goyon has put forth very energetic ordre dw
jour, in which, after alluding to his duties COM
mander-in-chiet he insists upon eight companies Of
each regiment, French or indigenous, being de
tanned in barracks ready to act in case of need,
and to furnish the necessary patrols, each of which
is to be headed by officer. All military rioters
are to be tried by court martial Immediately, and
civilians taking any part in contest, between sol
ders, to be arrested and taken to the prisons OF
Monte Citorio; but if the Roman authorities refuse
to take cognzance Of the matter the General gives
directions for such prisoners to be conveyed to the
Castle of st. Angelo.
The regiment of Roman infantry now in garrison
mere, the lst OF the llne mas lately arrived from
Bologna, and does not entertain very friendly
leehSS towards the frehch. W.o on thelr p'rI are
accused OF having very irritating manners TO the
native troops
