ROME. Oct. 2-Mr. Mozler, the American
sculptor, returned TO Rome from Florence ia
spite OF the most alarming but false reports
systematically spread In that city, of our being
In complete state of anarchy her5-the An
tibes Legion having deserted, their Off Jers re-
signed the Roman troops fraternzed with the
Garibaldians, and the Pope fled from the
capital and embarked on board French ship
ot'war at Clviia Necohia On the contrary, at
Rome perfect quiet prevails.
From Milan To Florence Mr. Mozier travelled
in the same car with General Garibaldi, with
whom he had good deal of interesting con-
versation-more, however, on American than
on Italian political topics. Garibaldi was then
returning from his Geneva fdSco, as the ecce-
siastical aTty term IL, asd loosely requested
Mr.. Mozier, who Informed him that he was
coming straight on to Rome, to present G. Lri-
baldPs compliments to the Pope, aud to say
that he proposed paying his Holiness visit
We have already seen that Ratazzl prevented
this by his coup de main at Sinaiunza and q iri-
baldi is, consequently, enjoying solitude and
sea air at Caprera, instead of heat and turmoil
at Rome; but several bands of his disappointed
followers have succeeded in eludng the vigil
lance OF the Italian military Gordon stationed
around the Pope's territories, aud have invaded
the northern frontier at several points, with
the apparent purpose of taking possession of
the Pontihcal province ofViterbo.
1hese DandS were PROBABLY sent on to form
the advance guard OF the force which Garibaldt
expected to lead after them They have entered
from the Tuscan Maremma, from beyond the
river Paglia, from the provinces OF Orvleto and
beyond the Tiber to OrJe. Their tactics hitherto
seem to be to harass the POpes troops, to avoid
lighting, and to levy contributions on the
places they traverse.
Eleven Garibalc ians have been captured in
the forest of Fegltano, near R0nci slione, be-
tween Viterbo and Rome 1 extract the follow

dians being killed is not yet verihed.-
ROME, Oct. l.-Yeste' day afternoon new bands of
Gsrbaldiars passed the frontier, entering Acquapen-
dente and other towns in the province or VlterbO.
They behave like so many brigauds, imposing the
communes which they invade contributions OF provl-
sens AID m oney, and committing other acts OF vio-
lepce. Various detachments OF our troops have
moved from several points on their track: In
Cauino column of zouaves fell IN with a
band which they put to flight after brief como At.

their defenders, and of their own accord hoist the

free from this calculated and savage Incurslon. We
know also that in other places several Gartbaldlans
some ofthem have been killed. In the midst OF this
imported agitation, Viterbo and the entire province
preserve III altered their fidelity to the Pontihcal
Government.
1t is not mentioned in the above narration
that the Garibaldiau force which occupied
Acquapendente on the SOth OF September is
about two hundred strong, that the town is
entirely in their power, the garrison of thirty
gendarmes, commanded by Lieutenant, hav-
ing barTicaded themselves in their barracks,
where this morning they have probably been
obliged to capitulate from hunger, as the Pom
tifical troops sent from Viterbo to retake the
town could not as yet have commenced the
assault Moreover the telegraphic wires haV-
ing been cut, the Government receives no reli-
able intelligence from the disturbed districts.
