The correspondent Of the London
Times at Rome in letter of the 9th inst.
says: 1T was predicted that Garihaldi's
arrival In Rome would be the signal for
revolution, and the prediction has been
verified, but in a very different sense from
that anticipated. 1t was expected that
the republican ilag would be raised that
the General would decline to take the
oath Of allegiance and that disorder and
disturbance would attend his steps. The
