MARMORA. The latest intelligence from Genoa is contained in the following supplement to the N.uvelliste of Marseilles, of the 9th April : " As early as yesterday evening the report was current in this city, as soon as the Ville de Marseilles steamer arrived, that another sanguinary conflict had taken place between the people of Genoa and the troops of the Government. It will be remembered that, in consequence of an emente in which the National Guards and as was published by the people took part, the armed force, composed of about I,oooista mistake, wasn, and obligednot ofto l.o,oevacuateoo,e town. But while this was going on, the division of General de la Marmora, returning from Parma, and perfectly organised, surrounded Genoa, and took possession of the maritime suburb. During two days, some murderous engagements took place between the populace and the troops: the troops had taken possession of some new positions. " Such was the position of the belligerent parties at the moment when the Ville de Marseilles weighed anchor. There was a suspension of arms brought about by the Consular corps. "Fresh details have arrived this morning by the packet-boat Alexandre, commanded by M. d'Angeville, lieutenant of marine, which quitted Genoa at seven in the evening. " The attack by General la Marmora was postponed, as we have already said, for two days. The town was defended with inconceivable order and determination. Priests and women were to be._seen hasteping, armed, to the barricades. No troops could have entered the town without being crushed by the' stones with which the houses had been filled, for the purpose of being thrown upon those making the attack. Many houses have been destroyed, and still more damaged by ball and shell. In the hospitals the sick Were struck by the projectiles, and the vessels anchored in the port have also suffered more or less. The French steamer Tonnerre and the French traders served as a refuge to our countrymen, as well to a crowd of all nations. Happily, at last, the Consular body succeeded in getting an armistice concluded for forty-eight hours. Below we give a copy of this convention.  "Three Members of the Municipal Council immediately started for Turin, in order to submit the arrangement to the King for his sanction, General la Marmora being unwilling to assume the responsibility. These delegates were expected back to-day at Genoa. God grant that success may have crowned their mission, for we should have incalculable disasters to deplore, were the conflict to be renewed!  "The Piedmontese troops have not ceased to make preparations for defence in the interval. They have taken possession of a fort and some heights, and occupy, besides the Lantern, as far as the Doria Palace, which is on the borders of the sea. It is in this position that the engagement took place between the besieged and their assailants.  " On the evening of the 7th, the Alexandre, on entering the port, was descried by the Piedmontese, who, taking the passengers she had on board for a body of Lombards, come to the Essistance of the Genoese, imprudently fired upon her; but the mistake being soon discovered, the Piedcaontese Commander made excuses to the Captain of the Alexandre. Fortunately, no one was killed, or even wounded. The British man-of-war now off Genoa had been seen making several manasuvres which appeared hostile to the Genoese, from which they concluded that she would act in concert with the P4dcaontese troops, should the armistice not be accepted. No one is allowed to quit the town; and it is only with the greatest difficulty that the French subjects were allowed to reach the squadron. The number of the victims is considerable on each side. At the moment of the departure of the Alexandre, a rumour was current that 2,000 Lombards had just entered the town by the Tuscan road, and 4,000 more were expected. Among the passengers on board the Alexandre was M. Montanelli, one of the principal leaders in the Tuscan revolution. The following are the terms of the armistice, which was to expire on the 9th, at noon:—
