There is little doubt that an at

seize and control the GoVernuent
It is difficult to say where the
end will be, not trusting wholly
to peace negotiations. The last hours
for leaving the city were marked By
the rush of hundreds whose courage
gave way at the latest moment.
Hundreds of applications were made
to Minister Washburne for passports,
by Frenchmen who we're never out
| side of France, and who pretended TO
be Daturalized Americans, but we're
unable 70 produce their papers.
Beyond doubt, Paris is provision
ed for two months.
An appeal has been issued By the
authorities, begging the citizens to
exercise the greatest care and frugali-

correspondent teleRraphs from Flor
enee, on the q: The italian army
has re entered Rome, after success
fully assaulting the Papal columns.
There were four killed and thirty
wounded. The Papal troops held
their strong posItior for ten minutes.
After, tbs assault. when the flag was
being received from Monte Gala,
there came deputation from the
Diplomatle Corps, escorted by the
Pope's Dragons, and the capitualtion
was arranged without further blood
shed. The foreign Papal troops laid
down their arms, and are to be sent
home. Great preparations are being
made at Florence for the transfer Of
the capital.
sa"Mazzine was we'll treated, and an
amnesty is expected.
The town was quiet except incess-
ant cannon practice. The whole male
population is armed generally with
muzzle loading smooth bore guns.
Most OF the battaliOns carried no
flag; few have The tFi-oolor, bnt as

Five hundred men from the Rhone
Valley were throwing up earthworks.
Lyons Is resolved to resist If at

ulaEs IN the city, mostly young, who
engaged as volunteers, or old soldiers
who have returned to service. Ii will
be some weeks before the former can
be made soldiers.
Troops from the Algerian depots
were concentrated at Lyons. In Mou-
lines, Nevers, Bourges and Tours.
There were about 10000 of these
men. fa
