A correspondent of the Tribune, with
the Italian headquarters, sends thefolloH-
ing account ofthe taking OF Rome:
ROME, September 20.-At five o'clock,
precisely, we heard the first shot. A bat
tery had been posted some Two hundred
yards from where 1 vas standing on the
Terrace, and its aim was to open a breach
Ontbe right hand Of the Porta PA. GEN
ersl Ferrer's artillery was doing the same
thing at Ports Del PopOlO, and General
Angelina was opening breaches and doing
hard work, near st, Giovanni and st. Lo-
nzO. The precision of the Italian artil-
lery was marvellous.
The fire had been going on for several
hours, and long columns of black smoke
rose. The breach was about half done,
when at the back of 1t we perceived a
house belonging TO the Bonapartes had
taken fire. Al nine o'clock a bOmbshell
fell on the roof of ST. Angus church
which mashed the ceiling and fell into the
church. An order was given TO several
soldiers to mount TO the top of the tower
and hoist the white flag Of the Genoa con-
ventiOn. Several Of the wounded had
already arrived, ard il the bombshells
had been aimed in that direction it would
be dangerous place. At bslf-past ten a
STRONG fire of musketry was heard. 1 ran
along that way and found that two can
non on the road had ceased firing and en-
tered Psrdi-Tsrdius, on the left of the
road, and in a few minutes was opposite
the Porte PA. The fire had ceased and
ZOuaves had hoisted the white flag. A
battalion OF Versagerli mounted the bar
rIcaoes when those Williams of Zouaves
hred again, killing a on the spot-Sig-
nior Pateliere, Msjor of the battalion.
General Coseng, with his wounded arm
and his staff, marched in front. sword in
hand, TO the barricade. The 10th and 4lst
regiments OF infantry followed. The first
olhcer who advanced was SigniOr Vatu-
zsani, who was exiled from Rome eleven
years ago, and was now too happy to see
his native country again. Just as he
reached the top OF the barricsde he fell
dead, struck by a ball in the forehead.

ceased.
The Piszzi Del Teranni was full Of Pa
pal artillery, a regiment Of Zouaves and
Z squadron OF cavalry. The Piazzi D.
Monte Cosallo was also occupied by Pa
pal artillery. All were disarmed by the
touy-hrst. The people began to pour in
every quarter with tri-colored hags1

King and his army.
The squsdrugleri, composed of persons
ienteneed 70 galleys or imprisonment for
irlmlnaI offences, but released to form a
Military body solely dependent on the
'hurch of Rome, were expected to make
mischief, but were surprised and made
'%risoners. The General commanding
