ic dispatches from Florence giving tht
situation of affairs at Rome are just
received here. The French troops
which debarked at Civita Vecchia Q
a few days since had arrived at the
Holy City. There were no demon
strations whatever. The city is per-
tectly quiet, and the French troop;
were received with profound silence
Garibaldi, whose force is constantly
increasing, still held a position on the
outskirts of Rome. The Papal forces
were to move out of their entrench-
ments and attack him to-day.
FLORENCE, Nov. 1.-The police
have taken possession of and closed the
Bureaus of the National party, and
headquarters of the Relief COMMITTEES
in this city and elsewhere, by order Of
the Italian Government.
FLORENCE, Nov. l, Evening. The
Nasioae, this morning, denies the truth
of the report that the French troops
arrived in Rome. The italian army
which has entered the Papal States, is
under the command of General Cial-
dini. Garibaldi has retired to Monte
Rotondo. He has made no reply to
the summons of the italian Govern
ment to disarm his volunteers.
PARIS, Nov. l, Evening.-The

PRUSSIA AND THE ROMAN QUESTION.
BERLIN, Nov. 1.-The provincial
correspondent of journal Of semi-of-
fetal character, says Prussia will inter
fere in the Roman difficulty, should
such action onher part be necessary TO
preserve the peace of Europe.
LONDON, Nov. 2.-Thcre is no
longer any doubt that the French
troops have entered Rome. The
Italian reserve has been called out.
1t is reported on good authority
that the government of Prussia has
pledged its support to Italy in the
event ofa rupture of the friendly re-
lations between that country and
France. 1t is known that there is a
crisis in the relations between France
and Prussia, which causes much un-
easiness and apprehension in monetary
circles.
LONDON, Nov. ., 2 p. M.-Gcneral
Menabrea, prime Minister of Italy, in
a note .justifes the advance of the
Italian troops into the Papal territory.
lie says the dignity of the italian
government and the violation of the
September treaty by the French requir-
ed this mOvemant.
FLORENCE, October 30.-On We'd
nesday morning, Garibaldi had un3er
his command 5000 soldiers. The
men are all well armed and have
plenty of provisions. The General
has no artillery except two brass guns,
taken from the Papal forces during
the fight at Mouse Rotondo. They
have no tents. There is very little
discipline maintained. The rear is
unguarded. Garibuldi's headquarters
are in full view of Rome. The sol
diers of the Pope who have been gradu-
ally and steadily falling back for some
days past have retreatcd within the
line Of the fortifcations of the city.
Before their retirement off the field
they burned all the bridges over the
river. ..
Roman peasants residing in the
neighborhood of the contending forces
take no interest, at least evince none,
in the progress OF affairs. They are
engaged at the. plough and tending
their Aocks in the plains just as usual.
Garibaldi's men do not interfere with
them.
Eight men of the Garibaldian army
are to be shot tomorrow by sentence
ola court martial, having been con-
victed of thieving at Monte Rotondo.
The men of the force are very en-
thusiastic in their hopes as to the re-
suit of the movement on Rome. Re
cruits come in at the rate of six hun
dred daily. Arms and provisions are
had in large quantities from the prov
inces of Terri.
Garibaldi's sons, Menotti and Ras-
cotti, are both in camp with their faith
er. Garibaldi will not advance near
to Rome till he has 10000 at least
under his command. He is to-day
engaged in making an examination of
the ruins of the bridges destroyed by
fire by the Papal troops. twenty
thousand Papal troops, well ollicered
and handled in the field, could destroy
Garibaldi's force by an assault in the
rear ofhis position.
Members of the Insurrcctionary
Committee are here consulting with
Garibaldi. The General would re-
gard it as an act Of madness to attack
Rome with the force now under him.
