ITALY.  Accounts from Rome of the 31st.ult. state :  " The Austrian Government has just offered to the Pontificial Government such great facilities for the creation of a Roman army, that that measure may now be considered as definitively decided on. The effective strength of the Pontifical troops was settled by the treaties of 1815 at 20,000 men. The following is the plan in which this matter will be carried out. All the existing corps will be disbanded and remodelled; two regiments of a foreign legion will be recruited for out or the country. Austria lends the town of Como as the centre of formation for this force ; each of these regiments will be 2,500 strong. These 5,000 men will none of them be Italians, and as far as can be, Swiss, Austrian, and Bavarian. Baden will also furnish its contingent. Two Roman or Italian regiments, each cf 3,500 men, will be formed from the remnants 6f the regiment of Guard.; and other troops wore in course of organization. The gendarmerie will be carried up to a strength of 5,000 men, 4,000 of whom are already enrolled. A battalion of foot chasseura of from 1,200 to 1,500 strong, a regiment of dragoons, and one or two brigades of artillery, will complete this force of 20,000 men. This plan is certainly well conceived as to the object which it is sought to attain. Tho 5,000 gendarmes, the 5,000 Swiss and Germans, and the battalion of chasseurs, commanded by M. Alderon-Poloalbs, an officio: devoted to the Holy See, will form an effective force, which will ensure the fidelity of the two native regiments, and will permit the Pontifical Government to protect itself with its own troops. Unfortunately the formation and the support of this army will entail fresh charges on the treasury. The necessary outlay is estimated at about 2,000,000 of piastres, which is just about the amount of the deficit of last year. However this may be, this necessary measure has been too long waited for to be any longer delayed ; France has constantly recommended it to be done, and Austria, it is said, now lends her co-operation. Some Roman subjects who had joined in a more or lass active manner the Roman revolution, but who had received permission to remain in the Holy City, have just received orders to quit the Roman states. Some new names have also been added to the list of such of the inhabitants as cannot leave their houses before sunrise, or remain out of them after sunset."  The Giornale di Roma publishes a curious decree in the Latin language, concerning an application for the canonization of " the servant of God, Caspar del Bufalo, a canon of the Basilica of St. Mark, at Rome," born in 1786. After recounting that the Reverend Canon showed an extraordinary devotion from his earliest childhood, and that his life and death were such throughout as to impress every one with the conviction that he was a saint, the document proceeds t o state that an application was made to the Sacred Congregation of Apostolical Benediction, to examine into the alleged virtues o f the said Reverend Canon, and the miracles he was enabled by the grace of God to perform. Whereupon, notwithstanding ten years had not yet elapsed since the application, Cardinal Altieri having proposed the question to the Congregation, " whether it be meet to sign the commission for the introduction of his case before the Congregation ?" the question was decided in the affirmative on the 10th ult., and the decision of the Congregation confirmed on the 15th. This decree is signed by Cardinal Lambruschini. A French soldier, belonging to the 32d Regiment of Infantry, convicted of having murdered a Roman tavern-keeper, was sentenced to death, and shot on the 26th, on the Piazza del Popolo.
