4 EUROPE. — The Italian War for Romo and , Action and Means of the Revolutionis’. Pius the Ninth in Appeal to the Monarchs and Garibaldi to the Italians and Romans. Italian and English Opinion of French Intervention. The Last Fight for the “Cham- pionship” of Emgland, The Inman steamship City of Paris, Captain Kennedy, which left Liverpool at noom on the 16th and Queens- town on the 17th of October, arrived at thie port early yesterday morning, bringing our special correspondence and files, in detail of our cable despatches, dated to her day of sailing from Ireland, When the City of Pars sailed the Garibaldian insur- gents wore completing their plans for an attack on the city of Rome. The London Tim~, in its leader, says that since his closer acquaintance with German feeling hed dispelied his last illusion the Emperor Napoleon’s voice has been con- sistently raised in favor of peace, His utterance at the next imperial sitting in the Senate will clear any doubt that may still linger im men’s minds; but inthe mean- ‘while «‘we seek no better guarantees for the continuance of peace than the result of that very journey to Salzburg, ‘which has given rise to 80 vast amount of equivocation. Before Salzburg the Emperor had evidently no sufficient confidence in his own forces, and was on the lookout for alliances, After Salzburg the Emperor gave up all hopes of alliances and fell back on bis own forces,’” The obsequies of M. Fould took place October 14, in the Church of the Oratoire, Rue St. Honoré, Paris, The following reflection: juggested to M. de Boissidre (in the weokly feuilleton of the Gasetiede France) by the death of M. Foula:— M. Fould bad only the ago of the present century, and might have hoped to live longer, He wiil be regretted ailthe more that he was useful, From the golden tree described by Virgil, as each branch fell another of the same succeeded. With the case is different; after the fail of those who seemed to be of gold, others come out that are not even of copper. All the good servants of the Emperor pass away one after another, and each of them has had, hike Alexander, succesvors fa ferior to them, If in a drama the actors who have 6 suc- cessfal grow tirea of the parts they play, they cede their places to other aspirams, so that it still lives, though diminished in the recollections of past trium; Thus on the political stage scholars succeed the masters, and tho little the great. If 1 am one of thoee who deplore fhe sterility of present times, I am alao of those who lieve in the fecundity of the future. Who knows what surprise the future reserves for us in the things which it must destroy and the men it must create? The American colonists lately in Jaffa, numbering forty Soule, chiefly women and children, had arrived at Alex- andria on board the steamer Quaker City. Their pas @2ges were paid as far as Alexandria, and they landed at that place in astate of utter destitution. A small fund had been collected and was in the hands of Mr, Charles Hale, United States Consul General for Egypt, for the Purpose of sending the unfortunate colonists back to pe United States; but it was wholly inadequate to the purpose, But after some addition to the fund the entire party joft Alexandria an the 5th of October per steamer for Liverpool, en route for America, The Anglo-Abyasinian reconnoitering party, under command of Colone! Merewother, left Bombay in three stoamors on September 17, It consists of one hundred, rank and file, Twenty-first Bombay native infantry, and forty troopers Third Bombay cavairy, with officers of en- Ginoers, &c. Tho party were expecting to teave Aden on the 29th of September for Massowab. Tho Principal objects are to find a suitable harbor and shore for de- Darkation and location of some two hundred steamers and transports, aed a good route and post inland on the high land, some sixty miles from the shore, It is prow Dable that the landing place will be fixed in Annestey Day, which is some distance south of Massowah. Tho engagements in the English freiggt market st'mu- imted by the Abyssinian war, and tho great demand for grain continued upom a larce scalo alike for sailing ves- Gols as well as steamers, at firm rates. By way of Engiand we have news from the West Coast of Africa dated Benin, 17th; Fernando Po, 13th; Camo- Foons, 9th; Old Calabar, 13th; New bar, 16th; Bonny, 16th; Lagos, 19:n; Accra, 2lst; Cape Palmas, ‘24th, and Sierra Leone 28th of September. At Came- Toons heavy rains continued, but health was good. Trade dull At Oid Calabar, om the 12th of Septembor, a fear- fl tragedy was enacted, A chief, named Eflam Adam, died suddenly from, it was suspected, foul piay.+ There- upon his six wives and the members of his bousehold were all compelied to undergo the ordeal of taking a large dose of the Calabar bean, which is very poisonoua, as atest of thelr innocence, When the Athenran left erght persons bad died, and the others were not expected to survive, Trade at ths station was good, and the river was healthy. At Fernando Po trade was dull, and at Bonny brisk. At New ‘alabar the war between the Calabar and Ecricke mou was still in progress, A battle took place on the 14th of September, at which it was stated forty New Calabar men were captured, killed and eaten. At Bonin and Lavoe trade was good and improv- ing. At Accra and Cape Palmas trade was dull, aod at Sierra Leone very bad. All thi tions were healthy. THE WAR FOR ROME. SPECIAL MAIL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD. ‘The Pope’s Pea to the Menarchs—Paper De-~ fence of the Holy Father. Fronence, Oct. 15, 1867. The Unita Cattolica, the chief organ of the ultramon- tane party in lialy, states that the Holy See is about to announce, officially and diplomatically, to the European Powers the following facts:— 1, That while all the provinces of the State are enjoying ‘the most perfect peace and tranquillity, armed bands, Proceeding from the frontier of the territory occupied Dy the Florence gorernment, have entered these pro- ‘Vinces to excite disoord and rebellion against the legiti- mate government and to commit acts of criminal bri- 2 That the inbabitants of the districts suddenly in- ‘waded by these bands, instead of responding to such ex- Citations and adhering to the revolt iotroduced among them, bave remained loyal to the Holy Father, mani- festing their abhorrence of such felonious acts, 8 That tho baads bave beon formed in Tuscany and the provinces ururped from the Holy See, and that in ‘road day, undor the eyes of the Italian governmental authorities, who have granted passports, although it was notorious that these travellers intended to invade the Pontifical States, 4. That the Italian troops have given free passage to ‘many of these bands who have invaded the Pontifical territory from various points of the Tuscan and Orvietan frontier. 5, That these samo troops have received the bands of fnvaders whon beaton, and dispersed by the Pontificab forces, they have recrossed the frontier. “On these grounds,” concludes the Unilé Catlolica, “the govornment of the Holy See will declare itself to ‘be the victim of a frosh attempt on the part of tho Florence government, which, notwithstanding the Sep- tember Convention, has permitied an invasion of the territory which it solemnly undertook to guard.’ GARIBALDI'S ESCAPE. SPECIAL MAH TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD. ‘The Flight from Caprera—Rece; General on Board t Froresce, Oct. 12, 1867, Within the jast three days the Riforma and other democratic papers have published somewhat exaggerated accounts of the circumstances attending the prevention of Garibaidi’s attempt to reach the mainiand on the 24 {net These journals stated that the commander of the Tialian war vessel Sesia fred two shots upon the boat, ‘which was conveying Garibaidi to the mail steamer bound for Leghorn, and that these shots were followed by a volley of musketry from the Sesia, Garibaldi, it wan also added, asked the commander of the Sesia if the firing bad been directed against him, and was an- Swored in the affirmative, The ministerial Gassta dé Firense of to-day gives the NEW YORK HER following as an authentic version of this affair:—About six P, M. (and not in the morning), om the 2d inst., the commander of the Sosia observed a boat, which appeared tobave left the Islaud of Caprera and appeared to be making for Maddalena, through the strait of Bocche di Bonifacio, The Yesia immediately proceeded im this di- rection , but could not come up with the boat on account of the numerous reefs in the strait, The commander therefore ordered two blank shots to be fired, and sub- sequently several musket shots, blank cartridge, in order to obtain attention from the boat, this procedure not only being justified by the naval regulations, but « duty incumbent upoa the commanders of vessela. As the boat did uot obey the signal and would shortly bave got out of sight among the rocks, the commander of the Sesia fred a ball in such a direction as to strike the sea ata considerable distance from the boat, solely with the object of compelling obedience to his signals, The boat was found to be the large launch of Geveral Garibaldi, who was himself om board, accompanied by a few other persons, His travelling trunks were also in the boat, To the General's question whether these shots were intended to call him back, the commander could only reply in the affirmative, We are informed that the commander treated the illus- trious General with every consideration. Upon asking ifhe was under arrest, the commander replied tbat he did not arrest him, but that he must prevent him from leaving Caprera, He bogged him, therefore, to consider himeelf as his passenger, and placed the Sosia entirely at his disposal, FRENCH INTERVENTION. @ECIAL MAIL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALO. Optaion of ¢! Italian Press. Frorece, Oct, 16, 1667. The Provincial journals concur in censuring the jan- guage of the French journals La France and La Patric, The Opinione, of Florence, again urges the government to take measures to prevent any intervention. The Perseveranza insists upon the immediate occupa- tion of the Pontifical States by the Italian troops, declar- ing that every delay is dangerous to the monarchy and to the institations of the country. ‘The entire Italian press is unanimous in calling for the occupation of the Papal territory. It is stated that owing to the personal Interposition of the King a reconcitiation has been effected between Signor Ratazzi and the Marquis Pepoll and General Cialdini, His Majesty brought these gentlemen to- gether for this purpose at the Pitti Palace, and had the satisfaction of seeing his good offices attended with com- plete success.

Short-lived has boea the feeling of relief which the Pope and the College of Cardinals enjoyed upon hearing of the roligation of their dreaded foe to his tight little island, It was fondly imagined that, as there can be no “Hamlet” if the character of the Prince of Denmark be wantit, 60 there could be no Roman movement without Garibaldi, Bet though Garibaldi be chafing and fretting his heart at the inaction to which he is condemned at Caprera, his stirring appeals to the Ital‘an people not to abandon the cause of their Roman brethren have not been lost. The chief is absent, but ho bas devoted lieu- tenants who have well inaugurated the work for which he bad been so long preparing and which be had hoped ‘to carry out to ite termination, Gariba'di was arrested at Sinalunga on the 24th of September. Four days sub- sequently, on the 28th of September, the first insurgent band appeared in the extreme north of the Papal terri- tory, near Lake Boiseoa, The men who formed it were the pioneers of a movement that has since spread through the whole province of Viterbo and has been well seconded in the southern portion of the present Papal dominion. A tide of insurrection is, in fact, surging upon Rome, and must soon overwhelm it, even if the Romans themselves do not anticipate their ap- proaching deliverers and go forth to meet them as free- mon, instead of waiting for their help to overthrow the fabric of the temporal power. It was weil known that previous to Garibaldi’s arrest enrolments of volunteers fora Roman expedition wore taking place sub reea in all the principal towns of Italy, Funds were collected, arms and uniforms bought and stored as near the froutier as possibie, and all was pro- pared for the inroad which waa to actas the leaven of revolt against pontifical rule, The Italian troops guard- ing the frontier were barassed by continual false alarms of the passage of imaginary Garibaldian columns at dif- ferent points. Sach rumors were concocted with the object of forciag a concentration of the troops and thus facilitating the escape of small parties into the Pontifi- cal territory, The volunteers were too wise to attempt any demonstration in force while withia reach of the Italian troops. This, considering the overwhelming force of the latter, would have been to incar the cer- tainty of defeat and capture, The plan atopted was to cross the frontier @ la spicciolata, by twos and threes, or wherever a favorable opportunity offered by tens and twenties. In fact, the meshes of the net spread by the Italian government were too large, and necessarily 90 from the great extent of froutier the troops wero re- quired to watch. They might have, no doubt, stopped the way against columns and detachments of any strength, but smallor fry slipped through their fingers. ‘The Pontifical government accuses the Iiatian authort- ties of wilful connivance in this respect; but the charge is perfectly unfounded. No one who is aware of Signor Ratazzi’s animosity against Garibaldi and his dower. mined opposition to the projecis of the party of action doubts for a moment that the Minister was thoronghly and grimly in earnest in bis instructions to the com- mander of the troops and other authorities on the fron- tior to arrest the passage of Garibaldians over the frontier by force of arms if necessary, A few days pre- vious to Garibaidi’s arrest the Pontifical government concentrated a strong force of troops at Viterbo, leaving very small garrisons in the towns to the north of that piace, The decisive step taken by Signor Ratazzi cer- tainly had a paralyzing effect upon the plans that were to have been carried out under Garibaidi’s leadership, and for a day or two the Roman Court hugged the belief that their chief anxiety was at anond, The Pontifical authorities, under this impression, withdrew their troops from the frontier and concentrated them in such &@ manner as would bestenabie thom to act against any revolt in the inter Rome alone absorbed 8,265 men of the whole Papal force, 477 wero garrisoned tn Viterbo and 657 ia Civita Vecchia; Comarca had 209, Volletri 172, Frosinone 256, Ronciztione 141, Tivon 165, Lecano 94, Terracida 70, Civita Casteliane 60, and Patiano 50 men, forming a grand total of 12.947, which isthe whole sireogtn of tue Roman Church militant. This force, however, includes a lerge proportion of Retive troops, whose loyalty oy, well be doubted. In fact, the insurgents affirm, as will be seen benoach, that they have already been joined vy some of these men, By such a dispostiion of their forces as I Pontitical authorities left the wh part of province of Viterbo eutirely wu: except by a few gendarmes and carabvinoers equally unguarded, Tolying apparently upon t! troops to preserve tuem fro the unwelcome intruders, although stitl ac. cusing these same troops of conniving at the passage of volunteers. IT shall now proceed to give you a connected account of tho origio and proxress of the insurrectionary move- ment which so rudely dispelied the fancied security from Italian aid to Rev tion, these necessaries baving deen stored previously in the grotto, A second band was organ zed on the moun- tains above Lagaccione, which in two days mustered three hundred mea, who immediately marchod towards Guado det Arone, where they put to light a detachment of Pontifical troops despatebed against them from Cor- neto. A third band, about three hundred strong, ap peared nearly at the same time near Boleena The Pon- tifeal authorities of Viterbo were not long in hearing of these movements, and sent out columos of troops towards Toscanelia on the west and Mootetiascone to the orth, Meanwhile the baad from the grotto of San Lo- Teo7o had surprised Acquapendea'e aod made privoners Of the carbineers ia garrison. The town received the voluptecrs with open arma, and the citizens rang their bolis and displayed the Italian tricolor from many win- dows, The band of Lagacoione separated into two detach- ments on the 29th of September, one marching upon Vaientano, where it disarmed @ few carabinecrs; the other Keeping to the southera shore of Lake Boisena, towards Moutefiascone, This last detachment encoua- tered a strong force of Zouaves near Monteflascone, and was compelled to retraat and disband itwelf in the moun- tain, But their companions met with better fortune, for, between the 28th of September and the Ist of Oc- tober, besides the capture of Acquapendente, they sur- prised tue towns of Caprarola, C nano and Canino, all situated in the northern half of the province of Vi- Verbo, notwithstanding that perhaps not more than a third of them at this time possessed firearms, There were some faint hearts, too, who, fading the movement without organizauion and as yet led by no recognized chief, made the best of their way back to the frontier, and surrendered themselves to the Italian authorities 10 @very destitute condition, But these desertions were amply com pensat not only by daily fresh arrivals from the Italian side of the trontier, but by recruits from among the population of the province. Itis true that during the first few days of the movement recruits of the latier category were few in number, for the great majority of the inbabitants remained ve. It was only at Acquapendente that eny enthusiasm was mani- fested in tavor of the insurrection. At other places the pees saw the Pontifical troops walk out and the Gari- idians come in, or with & conflict betwoen the two, with the greatest indifference. The tactics of the tolunteers were to avoid conflict with any strong Pontifical force and not to establish themselves at any point and thus afford the enemy an opportunity of concentrating his th upon them. They carried on strictly a gucrriila warfare, obtaining su] plies and arms from the places they surprised, and seok- ing to gain as many adherents as Even at the present moment @ deficiency arms ig much com- plained of by the insurgents; some it is true, have excellent rifles, even needte guns and revolvers, but others have nothing but old muskets and fowling pieces, and some of the men are even reduced to swords and ecytbes, Ibis want, bowever, is being rapidiy reme- died. The successes of the insurgents in the province of Viterbo have stimulated the committees Im Naples and Tuscany, and from both directions arms are beiriy amug- gled through the frontier, and, at least, all fresh recruits ‘are well arined, although some of those first in the firld may not yet be so fortunate. I spoke above of the ap- pearance of a band of about 300 men, on the 20ih Sep- tember, near Bolsena, These shortly sweiled their num- bers to 400 mon, and, after hap th peor Lorenzo, near Mount Vallaccia, for a day and @ half, succeeded in sur- prizing Bagnarea on the 2d inst, Bagnarea is a small town a few miies south of Orvieto, on the mght bank of the Tiber. Here the insurgents disarmed and made prisoners of the few men in the garrison and commenced entrenching themselves, although it isnot known what induced them to depars in this mstance irom their usual irregular warfare, which their numbers and resources were certainly better capable of maintaining than any regular siege operasions. Many of the inhabitants of area made common cause with the insurgents. ‘ontifical troops were at once ordered to move from Monteflascone upon Bagnarea, and accordingly two col- umns, of seven hundred and fifty men each, were despaiched on the evening of the 3d inst, by different routes, with the object of simultaneously attacking the insurgents in front and rear and dislodging them from their position, Butone of these columns was checked by an insurgent band, en route, the latter being posted inambush, The advanced guard of the column lost many men and took to flight, communicating a panic to the rest of the force, which felt back on sontetlascone, The second Pontifical column reached Bagnarea, but met with no better fortune, The insurgents in the town were reinforced during the engagement by an insurgent column from Castiglione, which took the Pontifical troops in flank, routed the entire force and took (birty- two prisoners, besides iwo hundred muskets ieft on the ground, a most welcome accession to the insurgent arma- ment, The Pontifical authorities at Viterbo now re- soived to make a stroug effort to disperse tbe insurgent nucleus at Baguarea, Since the Ist inst. reinforcements had been rapidly arriving from Rome, and General Zappl, in command at Viterbe, determined to assume the direction of the attack. On the morning of the 5tb inst. acolumn of twelve hundred men, besides afew carairy and two pieces of artillery, set out for Bagnaroa early, and reached that place at nine o'clock. They found the insurgents, between four aud five hundred strong, awaiting them in fortified positions at the convent of San Francesco and on the beights of Palare and Poggio Scio, just outside the town, The combat immediately commenced and was ob- stinately carried on until haif-past two o'clock, when tho insurgents, unabie to bear up against the over- whelming superiority of the enemy who had, besides, the great ad’ 6 of ariiliery, which poured in upon them & destructive murailie, w're compelled to retreat, ieave ing seventy killed and wounded, besides ove hundred and ‘eo pri-overs, Both sides bebaved with greut gal- Ianiry, the insurgents bert ono brilliant charges with the bayouet upoo the Zouaves, while the latier stormed aud carried two barricades in a ditficult position before the town, where a body of insurgeuts long held out, The remnant of the insurgents retreated into tho adjacent woods of Gott! and Sipiceiane, and wouid effect & junction with some other band. The Pontifical troops had fifiy killed and wounded in thi: air, §=Acquapen- dente was abaudoned by the insu! ts after a siay of a few hours,-and was shortly afterward occupied by the Pontifical ‘troops, who quitted it, however, immediately upon hearing of the insurgent occupation of Bagnarea, and hastened to join the Pontifical forces marching against that plice. Subsequently Acquapendente again fell into the hands of the insurgents. Another baud entered it and exected supplies, having obtained which they marched out just as a column of Pontifical troops entered the town on the opposite side. The latter now romain in possession of the place and have receuiiy been reinforced, as the Pontifical authoritics consider it an important base of operations tor the troops in the north of the province, Since the Sth inst, there have been no important eagagements in the province of Viterbo; but the insurrection ts s!eadily gaining ground, and the oands are now under better discijiine aud are led by scveral Garibaidian officers of disiinction, men who have served in the two last volunteer campaigns and bave beea spe- cially depuied by Garibaldi for their present work. Suppbes of arms and uniforms are also arriving, aud the young men of ihe province, peasantry aud citizens, have joined the movement in considerable numobors at ous poiu'é. The total strength of the insurgents in arms throughout the province is estimated at from two thousand five bundred to three thousand men, certainiy not less tuan the former, there pow appears to be more method in their movements than at lirst, aud it would seem that they have the mtention of forming « janction at Viterbo, and making an atiempt to carry that place. ‘Two principat bauds are moving from the north and east of the province in the direction of Viterbo, but there are other smaller bands acting iudependently and always avoiding conflict if possible with the Pontifical troops. ‘These serve tae purpose both of divid ug the forces of the enemy aod uf drawing off atrong deta hmeats from she army at Rome lar the insurrection in the proviace of Viterbo is now thoroughly established and daily becumes more tor- midabie But. the Pontilical soidiery were not to tind employment in this qcarter alone Oo ibe Sd tost. a strong detachment was sent from Rome to Tivoil, in con- sequence of intelligence that on the previous nigh a band of Garibaidians bad surprised and disarmed a party of carabineers near Monte Rutondo, a small town aorthesss of ‘Tivoli, and within forty miles of Rome. News was also received that armed bands had crossed the frontier of tue pro- vined of Bieci and had occupied: Veroli and Moricone, a fow miles to the north of Monte Rotondo, At Mor.cone they were met by a detachment of Pontifical troops, ‘who compelled them to retreats with some joss, Lhe following day (4th), bowever, the insurgents rallied their forces, and on tie same evening had again ad- vanced as faras Palombara, near Monie Rotonde. At six o'clock va the morning of ihe 6th they were eacoun- tered by a strong columu of Pontitical troops, and, ater a short skirmish, dispersed, ihe insurgent were com- manded by Menotii Garibaldi, who rode at the head of his men ip the Garivaician uaiform. On account of the greatly superior force of the euemy, the Garibaldians made no stand on this vecasion, On the following day Menottt advanced to Paseo Correse, a smali town within two hours’ ‘oey of Rome, but the ceneral com- manding at Rome, seriously slarmed at the very near approach of aca ton beet abe such an imposing force against them that Monotti in retreated, this time towards the western frontier bordering upon the Abruzzi, woere be will be reimforced by fresh in course of formation tn that directiva, Contemporancously with these movements, Orto Cor- Fese and Svriano, due west of Viterbo, were occupied by anotuer Garibaidian band, wh! now marching south- ‘wards io order to effect a ) with Menotti, whose object is evidently to create a diversion in favor of the revolutionary party in Rome, Finally, the standard of of insurrection bas been raised in tl! rovinces of Vellotri and Frosinone, althougn no net received of engagements with the Poi those directions. At present, thereiore, iy the whole of we Roman States are overrun by the insurgent bands. Garibaldians in the nortl making their way soutuwards towards Viterbo; others from the west are also proceeding southwards via Civia Casteliana towards Rome, Meaotti Garibaldi is operating in the valley of the Teverone, while the insurgen's in Velloiri aud Frosinone complete the circle of insurree- tion round the Holy City, Lh) insurgents in Frosinone are said to be uuder the command of Major Salomone. It is now necessary to retura to Rome and to give some account of the temper of the Kiomans for whom lialy 1 making #0 many encrificea, So long as the insurrection was confined to the province of Viterbo the Pope and cardinals betrayed no apprehension, but when it bocnme known that Menotii Garibatal had advanced to Witbin two hours’ journey of the capital the greatest alarm was manilosted atthe Vatican. I learn on the Dest authority thatthe Pope has made every prepera- tion for instant flight to Civita Vecchia enould the insurgents reach Rome or an inaurrection break out in the city itself. Maita is again spoken of as the piace of his Holiness’ retreat, supposing, however, thas the French permit him to choose such an asylum, They have two or three ships of in the roadstead at Civil Veccbia, and it is not to be doubied that France ircise some control over the movements of th Jn some quartors it is affirmed that tl late the example of Francs Il, at Gaeta, stir from Veconia, No one betieves wil bit nese’ resolution to suffer martyrdom rather than aben- dun the Holy City i# Bacrilegions foes, emulating, nm fact, the famous exampie of the Roman senators, who sat in tbe Forum in solemn state awaiting thé arrivel of the barbarians from they received their death. But Pius 1X. bas already fed once from avd we Uthat the popes bave ever been ambitious of the nonors of martyrdom. Nobody, besides, dreams of treating the Pope, personally, except with the greatest copaideration. But it would certainly be feit more con- vouieut if he did take his departure when fairly beaten. A deposed priace is apt to be a troublesome guest among Lis former autjects, Meanwhile there is every indication that the Pontifical government is determined to die bard, Fatigue parties are working day nod nicht upon the outer fortiucations of Castie St. Angeio, and the redoubts along the Tiber have been put ina proper state of deience and walls have been raised, pierced with loopholes ‘or musketry, Troops of cavalry nigbtiy patrol the siresta, and cannon bave been posted at ihe gates of the city. Ali lodging houses and Hotels are subject to the most rigorous sur+ voiliance, and domiciuary visite and a tive arresta are of duly occurrence. Since the outbrenk of the insurrection, in fact, the police seem to be possessed with a panc, for the umber of Dersona arrested is enormous, aud ia very: ALD, TUESDAY OCTOBER 29, 1867 many cases thelr action has been most arbitrary and unjustifiable, To-day (8th instant) @ new system bas been adopted, and, instead of being imprisoned, many suspected persons are conveyed wo the frontier under ‘threat of severe penalties should they return. A revolt is considered inevitable if the volunteers continue to ad- vance upon Rome; but even without this io- ceutive the revoiutionary party are ‘to action, Very little harmony seems to have prevailed, however, amoog the Roman liberals, The jon of the Roman Junta just after Garibaldi’s arrest was a most inexplicable proceeding, which bag called forth much censure, and been stigmatized, not unjustly, ag a be- trayal of the party they professed to re) Inaver- bose and feeble proclamation the Junta ground their resignation upon the pretext that they can no longer use! nm | promote the object for which they were con- stituted, aod that, under present circumstances, it was ad~ visable that 'y individual should have independent liberty of action. But discipline and unity of action are surely most pecessary to the success of any popular movement, more especially in Rome, where the people will bave to contend against a atrong and compact force animated by fanaticiam, Sucl re tho views expressed in @ proclamation issued on the 27th September by tho heads of the sections of the National Roman Associa- tion, who severeiy condemned the resignation of the Junta and agg Wegenon of the non gpeyd yy, sappealin; unanimous support 18 Fomine in to enable them to overthrow the temporal power. Following this document a Pro- test appeared, dated 29th September, signed by ‘tbe Roman_ Liber * Serougty censuring the procedure of the Junta, xpreasing their ness to join any organized m for their liberation, Finally a body ‘was constituted the title of Comitato Della Salute |, Publica, formed by the heads of sections above mon- tioned, who undertook the whole management of the projected revolutionary movement. In an address to the Romans this body urged the successes obtained by the insurgents and the presence of Menotti Garibald! in the fleid as mouves for firmness and resolution. pegied to all to beready to r to the mgnal for action when given, and to struggle for their liberation with unyielding determination. It is slated that the plan of action has been fully de- cided upon, and the different poste of the leaders and their followers duly fixed, The directing body of the Roman revolutionary party has been formed by a fusion of two fractions, f'¢., the Garibaidian purists and the governmental revolutionists, Both these fractions stand upon the constitutional monarchical piatform proclaimed at Mareals and Volturno, A third fraction, at present in @ very smal! minority, consists of the republican Mazzi- nians who advocate republican government in Italy, I may also mention a fourth fraction of the liberal party, not powerful numencally, but influential! from includ- ing among its adherents many of the wealthier class of Romans. This is the old national committee fo upon strictly monarehical and moderate principles, and wholly adverse to the liberation of Rome by Garibaldian agency, They would bave Rome liberated by a perfectly spontaneous and peaceful revo- luton, such as that of Tuscany or Parma, or by some diplomatic arrangement, They are determined oppo- nents of Garibakiianism, on the ground of illegality and as constituting & very dangerous precedent, Butneither of the two last mentioned factions have any controlling influence over the mass of the people, and will certainly remain powerless unless fresh disssension arises among the now dominant party. An order of tue day bas been issued to the garrison of Rome, according to Which the troops upon a signal of fifteen guns fired from Castle St. Angelo are to assembio at the Pincio, Campidoglio, Gianicolo, San Pietro in Monitorio, Piazza del Popolo and Piazza Colonna, All the troops in Rome are now confined to their varracks, aod the pickets on guard in differeat quarters of thecity have been strengthened. The city is tranquil on the surface, but the smouldering embers of revolution may at any moment be kindled into a fame, either by the in- surreccion in full progress wkhout or by the word of the Roman leadera. In any caxe the Roman question is now rapidly approaching a settlement whicn will mark the most important epoch in the history of Italy and the Papacy, and it is not at all improbable that tne telegraph may bear you decisive news inthe matter long before this letter can reach New York. Operations in the Field=Miitary and Spirit- ual Determination the Pope—Insurrec- tionary Movement the Eternal City. Rowe, Oct, 11, 1867. The insurrection in the provinces bas made rapid and important progress since the date of my last letter, The oficial organ of the Roman government to-day an- mounces the capture of Veroli by a band of one thou- sand volunteers, who exacted supplies from that town, aa wollas{r,m other places in the same district. Vee roli, it may be observed, is midway between Rome and Rieti, which latter tes to the northeast of tho Eternal City, Another band of about one hundred men bas made a similar descent upon Cervara, a smail place near the Abruzzian frontier, east of Tivoli, while in the ais- trict surrounding Acquapendente the insurgents are coa- centrating in large numbers and daily recoiving arms and reinforcements, The Osservatoire R mano, the only other newspaper existing in Rome, aud an équally of- ficial authority, publishes intelligence of the appearance of several insurgent bands in Frosinone and the forma- mation of a well armed and disciplined colama of six hundred, near Subiaco, So far for official intelligence up to this evening. Iam enabled, howevor, to make an important addition thereto from my own private infor- mation, ; Yesterday afternoon the government received des- patches announcing that the Viterbian insurgents, after receiving considerable reiaforcements, were concentrat- ing their forces and advancing upon Viterbo, the chief to-vn of the province and the residence of the Apostolic Delegate, Atthe same time the bands on the frontier of the Abruzzi, similarly strengtbened, were again mov- ing towards Rome. Immediately upoa recsptof this iptelilgence instructions were despatched to the Pontifi- cal commanders at Viterbo and Tivoli to offer every pos- sible obstacte to the advance of the bande, and in. forming them that strong reinforcements would be sont without delay to their assistance. Accordingly, therefore, no lees than four thousand men from the garrison of Rome bave ieft the capital this evening for Viterbo and the Campagna, They were re- viewed in the afternoon by General Kanzler, Provisional Minister of War, in the presence of the Pope, who, at tho close of the review, bestowed upon them his apos- totic benediction. Poor, kind, yet wilful old man, bis later days are sorely troubled and he still has to recei the ankindest cut of all ia the overthrow of that tom. poral power to which he has so biindiy and obstinately ctung. He follows the old tradiiioual policy of the Roman court, which is rather to break than bend. Prin- cipies must be maintained at any cost, Circumstances now adverse to tue sacerdotal power may chauge, and the Romish Coureh will thea be at liberty to taxe the greatest advantage of ber opportunity.
