the best au$hofity within my reach
The Corso which is always crowded aVou' sur
set with carriages aud pedestrians Returning from
the evening promenade on the f1nclan Hiil, was
somevgha4 Saler than usual on Monday, aud the
Piazza CoJonna a square opening on the street near
its nenfer IN which the people omen and wOmen)
f. are accustomed to meet for an evening walk or
taIk was unusasly thronged as Is natural on
Ssst;vs dav. as was also the Piazza Sciarra where
the street block lower down, widens little. In
botb Piszzas, aud in the COrso near them, the
squads a French infantry and of Roman cdrabineri
x.ere even more numerous aud moved about more
nervously than is their won't 1t is said that
email bOoy OF the latter were squeezed little, and,
according 10 our report Kissed in the Piazza Sci
ARA. Making their way to the larger Piazza,
where are French barracks they Joined their CON-
panions. Here again somebody Kissed, whereupon
the carabiReTi, known to be hateful to the people,
and to be exasperated at the moment were Or
dered to sweep the square by the French
Captain Commandant, acting under general or
1en from Gen. De NOue, Gen. GOyOn's second
in command, to allow crowds in the streets
Not stopping as their orders stopped at the COrso
they charged up it ike madmeR, half mile, to
the Piazza del POp0l0, where the street and the
city end. How many in that wild onslaught were
wounded it is impossible to say The Liberals say
sgEeration. i am informed, however by an ltal
ian gentleman who is engaged in the preparation
a statement of the affair, 70 be presented to the
British Parliament that II cases of bodily injury
have already been properly authenticated.
Some of the most fragrant Outrages on the Occa
sion, win mention. Sign1r Paceth, who Is Miss
Charlotte Cushmsn's landlord, was sitting IN Cafe
on the Corso, when the ruhians entered and cry
ing " Canaille, get to your homes, slashed right
and left The younger men were agile enough to
get out Of their way, but old Pacett, who is wha
the Liberals call Black, l. G., IN favor OF the Gov
eminent received a severe wound on his head.
Two ladies' sitting in their OWE carriage were
beaten about the ears, and the bonnet of one was
actually cut from her head. A man standing at
the door of the Cafe NuOyO was cut down. A girl,
walking along the street, was cut In her hand. A
Door German artist here for few days in order to
copy o picture stumbled as he was running from
the carabnieri, who beat and cut him, lying on
the ground, so severely, that he was laid up for
three DAYS A fruit dealer who was beaten about
the head by hOrseman, either with the butt OF his
pistol or the hilt of his sword, was obliged to be
taken to hospital where he has been lying at the
point Of death. 1t was reported that he and two
others had been killed but this needs corrobOration
IT is certain that the frutdealer if alive is not yet
out of danger. The servant Of the Russian Prince,
Bariatainski, on his masters carriage at the time

and two French officers, who were in citizens Dress
are amoDg the wounded. But the case which comes
nearest home is that of Mr.. GentwOrth the Ameri-
can Consul who was getting into his carriage in
front of his own door, in company with q French
officer IL fun uniform, when the dragons gaDOped
up One Of them aimed blow at Mr.. Client
Worths bead but the officer at his side pushed him
back with one hand, and half drew his sword with
the ether At this point the gend'arme would
seem 10 have opened his eyes to the uniform,
the presence of which in the city made his OWE
existence possible, and rushed on with his cOmpan-
IONS Whether the gend'arme understood that
Mr. Hall and myself were Americans or that Mr.
GlentwOrth was the American Consul, it of course
impossible to saw But we stated our nationality
distinctly bet Neen the first and second blow, and
Mr.. GlentwOrtb's house, before which his carriage
was standing, occupies conspicuous position Op.

ihoroughfare from the Piazza di Spagua and the
prir eipal hotels to ST. Peters. Every gen

he house if were not plainly indicated by the
American eagle on the front. Tins, which appears
to me vital point will doubtless receive thorough
examination in the course Of the official CORES
Dopdepce which is likely to grow out Of the affair.
Our Minister here Mr.. Stockton, transmits to
Washington with cOmmendable prOmptness, by the
mail which carries this, full narrative OF the affair
of Monday, together with the statements OF the
americans injured A translation Of the latter has
Minister, as far as / can learn, has moved In the
matter.
Antoneli animated TO Mr.. Stockton, who called
upon him on Tuesday, / understand, that he had as
vet no official knowledge of the matter other than
a report that innocent persons had suffered; that
therefore he cOuld make no official declaration; but
that If the facts were as represented his govern
ment was prepared TO dfayOw the act of its agents
performed without orders, and TO discharge them II
pointed ont At the same time the GiornaLe d. Roma,
the Official organ has declared that nothing NJ the
nature Of attack took place, and that no one was
wounded. And while some friends of the govern
ment crv with the GioraaIe d, Roma that it is all
story got up for effect others assert that the gems
d'aTmes pat down conspiracy, the existence OF
which had luckily been disclosed to the authorities
The liberals on the o,ber hand assert that 1t was
deliberate nassacre, planned by the cardinals and
executed by the carabnieri, under pretext which
might form an excuse for banishmeDts and arrests
Some color given 10 the latter hypothesis by the
fact that the squad who hirged up the COrso acted
as one man and although they met with no resist
anoe from any quarter cut down every one within
reach 1t may be that at first they struck with the
fat otheir swords only but they soon used the blade
hear tonight moreover that they were joined atthe
Piazza del POpOlo by another squad, who had gal
loDed up the Ripelsa a street nearly parallel with
the Corso and debOuching into the POpOo; and that
letters from AncOna speak Of similar raid there.
II Is certain that on Tuesday five prominent men,
who had been members Of the Committee OF the
Liberals, and long suspected by the Government,
were banished. Their names are Santangel, Sill
ayestrelH. MastricOla, TissOni, and Fern. One OF
them is a merchant retired from business; the
