correspondent of the London Times, writing
from Rome, March 20, says:
yesterday Rome was the theatre of a sanguina-
ry drama. was spectator of the whole scene,
and have put myself, not without great personal
risk, in position to be able to give you minute
and correct particulars. On the 10th the leaders
OF the patriotic party sent forth proclamation,
which l here submit: Romans General Carl
baldi promotes a subscription for the purchase of
one million muskets, wherewith to accomplish the
work of national redemption. Let us Law our own
offerings on the altar of the country and remem-
Der that for the present only give proofs of
selfdenial and sacrifice. Bent upon great pur-
pose OF reconstituting Independent and free
Italy, we must persevere in that noble and digni-
ed calmness which won the gratitude of our sis
ter cities and the sympathy of civilized nations
We trust to the justice of cause and the patro-
tic zeal of those who are fastening its triumph and
we waitin union and security the forthcoming day
which will join US to the rest of the Italian family
The government, provoked by the appearance of
thls proclamation, which was stuck up at every
corner OF the streets, in print proceeded arrests

of great demonstration, which was to take place

ally became known in this place. On Monday in
fact, it was arranged that solemn but orderly
promenade should take place along the Corso be
tween five and seven in the evening to celebrate
the annexation. Instructions had been given that
the demonstration should take place with the
usual camness, and with explanatory moderation
avoiding even the slightest chance of disturb

were assembled in their church to hear mass, i'm.

however, was not to be appeased; he rushed out of

Five o'clock in the afternoon came. The govern
ment aware, as said, of the intended demonstra-
ton, had spread rumor thnt the promenade was
to be not on the Corso, but out of the Porta Pia,
where the grand carnival demonstration had
previously taken place. Their object was
to weaken the assemblage of the multitude,
and have it more helplessly at their discretion

The French officers again and again dashed through

defenceless people from the hands of their ruthless

some extent restored. They showed the greatest
sympathy with the people; they promised them re-
