FOREIGN NEWS.-Thc news from Italy is Of
great Importance. The movement against
Rome has touched crisis. Garibald has de-
feated the Pope troops and forced them within
the walls of Rome, and was with his force at its
gates preparing for an attack Within the city
excitement prevailed, and the Pope had left
the Vatican and taken refuge in the Castle St.
Angelo The battle which had given Garlbaldi
such success was fought at Monte Rotondo,
he having from ten to twelve thousand men
concentrated there The fight was stubborn,
and at one time doubtful, but Garibaldi put
himself at the head of his volunteers and was
COMPLETELY successful. nc rapidly followed up
the Papal troops and advanced his whole force
to the outer Notifications of Rome. In Italy
the excitement is intense, and the people not
only demanding Rome, but also preparing to
resist French intervention. Rumors were pre-
valent that Victor Emmanuel would atdicate,
and Prince Humbert, the Crown Prince, would
lead the Italians to resist the French. The
French fleet was expected to arrive at Clvlta
Vecchia thirty ght miles from Rome, yester
day. A Florence dispatch states that new
ministry has been formed, and that the King
so far from abdicating, has issued Proclama
ton denouncng Garbadl, and declaring tor
the policy of France The Pope has issued

is surrounded, and deploring the dangers that
menace the temporal power of the Holy See.
1t seems that the Radical Congressional Ex
ccutive Committee have issued an address y
which they are senling all over the country. The
following ana ysis Of this electionecring paper
is given By the New Y ork Herald:
1t is an Incorporate document, substituting
broad assertion for argument, violent in its
abuse, appealing to passion in place OF reason,
and seeking to revive and intensity sectional
strife 1t ab0unds in all the hackncyed black
guardsm that has been heaped upon the Pres
ident by Radical politicians for the past year
and half, and prclends that the committee
are in receipt of intelligence Of new outrages
upon the Union men Of the South, white and
black" since the recent Northern reaction
against RadcaIism, which intelligence, singh
larly enough, is confined to the committee, and
unknown to everybody else. Under the spe-
cious cry of protection for the "Upionists" of
the South it justifes the disiranchisement of
the white race and the elevation of the South
err blacks to political supremacy. In short, it
is an unfortunate document for the party in
whose interest it is written, and shows that it
has no better weapons than violence and slang
with which to fight its battle"
