PINELLI. The atrocities perpetrated by the wretches would baffle all conception were they not reported on too good authority. They put on frequently the old Bourbon uniform that they may pass, if caught, for rebels only but their practice is not merely to ransack houses for plunder, but to kill men and women, too, if known to be Liberals, with every device of cruelty and indignity. One man, we read, who was attempting to escape from their hands, in order to alarm the neighbouring villages, was dressed up by them as a woman and burnt alive in the public square. These fiends arc cowards enough if danger approaches, and they flee at once on the approach of any regular troops.  The generals appear, however, to understand their work well. All of the brigands cannot run fast and far enough to get under the wing of his Holiness, and the French, but are overtaken by their pursuers and killed, or captured, or have to surrender at discretion. They are met with in small bodies, who descend from the mountains if they think the soldiers are at a distance, and plunder, burn, and shoot more apparently from brutality and revenge than for the booty of which they can make sure. They fire for instance at railway trains, and attack helpless villages. One CHIAVONE, the Lieut.-General of FRANCIS IL, as he seems to be called, is the chief leader, and has a large number with him. He has no means of resisting, however, successfully, the regular troops, and but for the mountain difficulties, would soon be killed or taken. We read of one case in which the insurgents numbered 400—but they fled, leaving 100 prisoners, and 35 dead. They were well supplied with arms and ammunition ! In one case 150 men wanted to surrender if assured of immunity, but the answer invariably made to all such offers is you will be tried by the tribunals, and acquitted if guilty of rebellion only,but condemned if you have made rebellion a pretext for robbery and murder." The insurgents are but poor fighters, the Italian losses in engagements with them being very small. It is really time that these savage wretches were deprived of the only countenance which supports them. They can be of no use to the fallen monarch. To permit him and Rome to continue this devilish kind of revenge, out of mere malice, on the innocent, is a disgrace to civilisation, and we hope Lord PALMERSTON will be able to convince his friend the EMPEROR of this. Italy will never be at peace till Rome is in its power.  Her Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has arrived at the Chateau of Tumpenheim, near Frankfort, on a visit to his illustrious relatives. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary have already joined the family circle assembled at the chateau. Married, yesterday, at St. James's Church, Piccadilly, by the Rev.
