On Saturday afternoon , shortly after posting ray last , a few companies made a hold sortie from the gate of San Pan razio , with the intention of molesting tha French -in their fortifications . They advanced , driving the enemy before them , as far as the third line of entrenchments , when a house strongly occupied by the French , and surrounded with barricades , stopped their progress . After having- destroyed a considerable part of the works , the Romans returned to the city , tearing " a garrison in one of theinifcrvemnghouses . from which the enemy had been dslodged , aad which afforded an advantageous position f- 'ir checking any onward movement . Ihe fusillade was very brisk for a couple of hours , bnt the liama-is has ! onlv one officer and ten soldiers
Wounded . 1 was on the Aventine hill at the time , and witnessed lbs cannonading between tfce batteries placed there and the French covered batteries , \; hich are situated on a little eminence close to the fortified house to ths south of Poria San Pancrazio . Two French cannons "were dismounted . They fired Chiefly grenades , which were true in direction , but usually burst in the air after passing a yard over our heads , probably fn > ra their baitery being lower tVan t ! ie Avcntfne . Rd :: ! bre ? jnems continue to arrive frcm she provinces , aad they have been alls , as yet , to pass whhout molestation from the French . Yesterday ?/ tcrcoon I reconnoiired the whole position of tbe besiegers and besieged froai that noble observatory which commands nol only the citv aad irs environs , but also the vast sweep ef the

General Garibaldi ascended the ccpol * whilst I was there , and 12-. £ fl an opportunity of expressing lay admiration of his bravery and my good wishes for his final access . He replied with the utmost courtesy and simplicity , and stated his conviction that tbe French , with tbeir present force , would lie unable to ga : a admittance ia ! o tba CJiy . Afier observing th'r disprfsitson of the energy ' s camp ! , the general desc-nded into the Piazza di San Pietro , in
whose ampte area he reviewed the troaps , about 7 , 000 gt 8 , 000 men ,. destined for a toriie by night . The expedition did not succeed in its ol-jsct , which xpss ibst of surprising ihe Trench camp , because ihe enemy ' s spies l : ad already carried information of the movement , zvA , on the Roman forces approaching , tjey fou :: d cavalry , infantry , and artillery , drawn up in order cf hauls , in numbers too superior to render an action advisable .

The ' PiedmoBtese Gazetteof the 18 th wist , contains the following intelligence from Rome : — 'On thfi morning of the 13 th the French begun tobpmbard Rome , without , however . inflictingsnuch injury on the city . They afc the same time attempted a fruitless assault . The firing was kept up until eight o ' clock p . m . and then « eased during three hours . At eleven o ' clock it recommenced and lasted until / our o ' clock , a . m ., on the 14 th . It then ceased again , but was soon afterwards resumed with greater intensity and destructive effects . At four o ' clock in the afternooH of that day the French had opened , a breach dose to the e&ie of San Pancrazio . At eight
o ' clock p . m . the firing continued with violence . The breach , however , must not have been considered sufficiently wide for an assault , as on the 15 th the cannonade had not relaxed . The French have cut off several aqueducts which supplied Rome with water , and their cavalry intercepts all communication between the besieged and the country . The infuriated Transteverines twice waited on the Triumvirs , with knives in their hands , entreating them to allow them to sally out in a mas 3 to exterminate the French . The triumvirs dissuaded them from their purpose , saying that everything would end well if they preserved their order to fight behind the barricades . should the French enter the citv .
( Fromthe ' MorningChronicle . ' ) June 14 . — After the rejection of tfee French overtures , which were couched in language as insulting as their tenor was unworthy , Oudinot made another attempt , of a more private nature , to draw the Romans to bis will . Cernnschi , one of the deputation of the Assembly which negotiated with Lesseps , was invited to the French camp , whither he proceeded yesterday moraing . Oudiuot had the modesty to propose to him that a breach should be made in the walls of the Transtevere , over which the Fiench army should march into the Eternal City with flying colours and music sounding !
Cernuschi replied hy asking the French General pointedly whether he meant to restore the temporal sovereignty of the Pope , tefftng him that if he did not , the gates wou ! d be immediately opened to his army . This question Oudinot declined to answer . No assault , as threateRed ix Oudinot ' s communication , has yet taken place , but itais expected that one will be given on Saturday ( Jane lGth ) , that being the anniversary of the accession of Pius IX . What a melancholy contrast is presented by the state of the Christian Jerusalem , and the sentiments of its population , to that which prevailed when the reforming Pontiff took his seat in the chair of the Hslienuan I
Meantime , the bombardment is being prosecuted as vigorously as ever , and even nightfall brings no cessation . Iu the course of yesterday afternoon and this morning several hundred shells , balls , and rockets have fallen in the city , on both side" of the Tiber . Between saven and eight a . m . to-day , three shells burst in the air . , in the immediate neighbourhood of my hotel , in the Piszza Minerva . It makes one hearj-sjek tort fleet on the danger to which the noble library of the Dominican monastery of Santa Maria supra " Minerva ( so called because occupying the site aud partly erected with the materials of an ancient temple of Minerva ) is exposed . This library , which is- the largest is Rome , aud one of Use richest and m . Gst curious collections in the
whela world , contains 120 , 000 volumes , btsid ? s manuscripts , ar . d was left in the convent for public use < y Jerome Ca ; = anate , of Naples . H ! jun : ed down the loss will be irreparable , as many o ? the editions , are almost unique . The Palazzo Braschi , cne of the finest buildings in the city , the flying staircase of whuh Is JfcniighS a miracle of art , was struct several times yesterday , and serioaaly injured . It is close : q the statue of Pasquia . At the Pabzzo Spada yesteiday a bomb fell , but was prevented from expoding by the bravery and devotion of Montesanti , a sergeant of firemen , who plucked out the fusee . The firemen ( pompicri ) , a fine body of men , most active lads have bees distributed about the city at various points for some days past , and are in constant readiness . The circumstances under which !
record these hurnsd anecdotes . are far from plsasant , cs every three minutes I am disturbed fcy the torrid whistling of a shell or reeled ; some of them apparently quite near . WV , however , take things as coolly as possible ; and to make good the old proverb , ' That it h an ill wind that blows nobody good / the lit ' . la beggar boys about me streets have •> pened a masket of French balls , and find ready customers at a laioceJw e mezzo ( not quite three farthings :. ) The Algerines outside have now completed a
breaclsing battery , masked , for the nature of the ground near the walls affords admirable facilities for concealraen 1 , but supposed ( o mount sixteen guns and mortars . Oadinot has been heard to boast tliat his arrangements are so perfect that he can enter the city ia three hours — hows verrons ; he has not yet made the attempt . Yesterday , by the by , the French posts at Pontemolie , on tha eastern side of ihe Tiber , were driven across the river with consu- ' eraWe loss , by Arcioli . In this very galtent sffair the R . ; -man loss has been twenty killed and
. Two more proclamations on the present crisis have appeared ( we bsfore tbe past left yesterday , Imt i hf « U not tur . e tc tran > la : c it } , ¦ which 1 subjoin : — ' ROTSS / iS REPUBLIC . — COMMISSIGX OF THE BARRICADES . 'Peoplel—To the new despatches of Genera ! Oudinot , the Assembly , the Triumvirate , the Genera ! of the National Guard , Sturbinetti , and the General-in-Chief , Rofelii , have repeated ths oJd answer , ' Ibme docs not perpetrate viieness ; go en with vcur bombardment . ' At this moment votir Rome
is being baptised capital of Italy ; it was the prophecy of Napoleon , and his nephew worthily fulfils if . To save tins capital of Italy we will gladly burn and bnry suburban villas and delicious retreats ; then may we not well stand-by undisturbed when less magnificent ruins are made by these most Chris tian bombs ? To prove that they may be advisedly so calk'd , the Papal seal was last night seen on the table of Oudinot , at his head-quarters at Villa Sanfucci , not yet at Villa Pamfili , whence , however , perhaps for a strategic purpose , he pretended to dale his last despatches . One falsehood the more . 1

KOMAN REPUBLIC—MINISTRY OF WAR AIsD MARINE . ' Romans ! When the country is in the enemy ' s grasp , every citizen ought to arm himself for defence , and to offer himself as a soldier . There is neuher condition nor rank which can dispense from the sacred duty of repulsing the enemy from our houses , from the tombs of our fathers , from the sacred monuments bequeathed to us by the grandeur of our ancestors . Let the women and children , for whose sake the feeble-minded excuse themselves from combating , command every one who truly loves them to do his best towards a heroic defence . Every man capable of bearing arms is base and cowardly if he does not fight .

' The private letters from Rome to the 16 th , say that the Romans will certainly defend themselves to the last extremity . There is no truth in the report of dissensions having taken place in that city . Men ,
women , and children of all ranks were busily engaged erecting a breastwork behind the breach -which the enemy was forming . On the 14 tb , a young married lady was killed on the breach . The members of the National Assembly went on the 14 th in procession with music before it and flags flying , through the fourteen arrondissements of . Rome , to show the people that they fully sympathised with them , and to encourage them to deferd the city . I * is melancholy to think that so much patriotism and devotion should be thrown away .
By the evening of the lath , the French cannon had destroyed 1 G 0 metres of masonry of the walls of Rome . Tbe Romans have made a bold attempt to force the French to raise the siege . They sent . s « me emissaries to Civita Vecehia to get the inha . bitauts of that place to surprise the French garrison in the citadel . The plan was well laid ; but , unfortunately , the commander of ihe French forces got notice of it , and it failed . Had it succeeded , the French would have been cut off from tbeir supplies , and would have heen forced to abandon . the siege of Rome in order to commence that of Civita Vecehia . The Bebats calls the affair a foul conspiracy . What name , then , ought it to give to an expedition which , under pretence ¦ of friendship and sympathy for the people , comes and batters down , the city about the ears of the inhabitants .
The 'Democrats du Var' publishes the following extract of a letter from a mem ber of the National Assembly of Korne to his brothers residing at Civita Vecehia : — ' It is impossible to conceal the fact that ihe war against R . nne has become a war of extermination . Blood has been shed in abundance , and exasperation is at it 3 highest pitch . The Romans have taken their determination , and they will bury themselves under the ruins of their city ratber than consent to return under fchfi yoke of the priests . Every measure has been adopted ; the piincipal buildings are rained , and the streets are covered with barricades . Up to the presnU lime the French
soldiers have only had to combat against regular troops , who dispute every inch of ground ; ami several of the positions have been takeu and re-taken six times , with a courage and an audacity it is diin . cull to describe . But when the French shall have opened a breach they will find themselves facs to face with an armed population of 200 , 000 , who will fig ht foot to foot in each street . Men , women , and children—all are armed ; and when the tocsin gives the signal of the entrance of the French into ihe city , then indeed we shs !) behuld one of those , dramas which are unique in history . May Heaven preserve both nations from it ! Such is our situation at the
present moment . Tbe ' National' publishes the following letter irom M . Mdzzini , refusing to attend a coniereiicfi which that journal deciaies was proposed to him , non-offidally , by a person of some siandingin General Oudinot ' s camp : — ' Home , June 13 .- Sir : It is impossible for me to go to tlie advanctd posts to see you . Our conversation , besides , unfortunately for us , could have no issue favourable to your views and ours .

Every possible annoyance is now inrlicteil upon thu inhabitants of the ti-. y : the couriers are stopped , letters o / eried , money stolen , aqueducts broken , pro visions intercepted , country foiks pillaged , and property destroyed to a frightful amount ; thu African regiments considering themselves entitled , no doubt , to makeup for tha hardships of the campaign * by renewing the razdas to which they were accustomed in Algeiia . Iwhsnn eye-witness of some of their wholesale barbarities yesterday afternoon . The Ronians had despatched a force consisting of the 1 st regiment of tie line , die carabineers , the Bologna hattaiion , and a company of Poles , to take up a
position towards Ponte Molle , —a movement which was effected successfully , the French retreating to the other side of the Tiber , and the Koinans occupying Parioli Hill ( which overlooks the river ) , and fortifying it with two pieces of artillery . About half-past four p . in ., the French received considerable reinforcements , and succeeded in rectossing the bridge . They immediately set about firing all the casini , villas , farmhouses , hayricks , and even the haycocks which the country folks had just been employed upon , between the bridge and the fi-ot of the P . moli liills , and an universal conflagration marked their destructive progress , v hilst a dense smoke served at the same time to hide them from the iire of the Romans . Their
activity in this mischievous operation was incredible , and what witli the tremendous heat of the day , the scorching influence of their incendiary work , and the weight of their arms and long ' capotes , they must have certainly performed a good apprenticeship in Africa to be able to run so swiftly m such a temperature . Perhips the Roman musketry and grapeshot , which plied incessantly , in spite of the smoke , may have somewhat quickened their motions . Rome is calm , united , and undaunted , and a hundred acts of heroism might be quoted .

GLORIOUS DEFENCE OF VENICE — RUMOURED HUNGARIAN INTERVENTION . The ' Genoa Gazette' has the following from Venice , 14 th instant : —* After several attacks made by the enemy on the side of Brondolo and Chioggia , and a fierce cannonade on the bridge of the Lagoon ,
for the purpose of demolishing our works of defence , the Austrians have this morning disappeared , and are to be seen neither at C ' nioggia nor at Brondolo . A few troops were seen marching towards Compalto . This is said to be owing to the intelligence officially received , that about 30 , 000 Hungarians were inarching towards the Isonzo , and were expected at Fiump , Udine , and Trieste . The Austrians are therefore hastening , to encamp on the banks of the Isonzo to oppose the Hungarians . Rlanin published this in * telligence to the people from the palace , and read a letter from Kossu . h , in . which the latter excited the Venetians to resist , and promised them prompt relief . Venice is now unblocked by laud , and overcome with joy . An illumination is preparing for this evening .

PRANCE . The editors , managers , aid cowpositoK of th ' Peuple' have addressed a letter to the * Uepublique , ' contradicting the statement made by General Gourgand in the tribune of the National Assembly . They deny that violence had to bu employed to ( ffict an entrance into their offices on the 13 th , or ( hat the damage done could be considered as accidental ; or that the printers of the ofiices of M . Boule used insulting language , or that 150 persons were arrested in the evening in that house ; they admit , however , that the next day fifty workmen were taken into custody .
PiiogcaipnoN cf the Press . —The government conikuss its attempts to put down opinions hostile to it by tbe means elready noticed . The ' Siecle ' and ' La Presse' have for the second time been informed that they must not discuss questions relative to articles five and fifty-four of the constitutor .. The ' Presse' says : — ' We have done as we were asked , What more is wanted ? II this is insufficient , let tnuis Napoleon Buonaparte send the editor to the Coneiergerie , where he once had as companion M , Fiiilns de ' Persigny . ' It will be recollected that M . d . i Girardin was sent to prison during the rule o ! General CavaignaC t and that he afterwards took pars through tEick and thin for Louis Napoleon , who now threatens him with the same punishment .

That the hawking about of books , pamphlets , journals , and other printed papers , is interdicted throughout the \ vhola exscnt of ilsc division . And , 3 rd . That the clubs and ether political
meetings are forbidden throughout the extent oi the sixth rr-ili'ary division . These decrees are dated June 17 . On the 14 ih , an Austrian vessel arrived at Marseilles from Trieste , having on board 185 prisoners of war , most of them Poles , ordered to be transported to New York , but she had scarcely got out tc sea when the prisoners insisted upon being taken to Marseilles , and the captain , having only eig ht men under his command , fouud himself forced to obey . But on her coming into port the prefect immediately onleted the ship to be towed by the steamer Eurotas to Toulon , there to wait the orders of the government as to the final destination of the
prisoners . Atrocious Ukase . —OdiKon Barrot has addressed a circular to the Prociu'eurs-Gena'eaux i ' rora which we select the fullowing : — 'I have been several times consulted cii . the question cs to whether the cry of ' Vive la Rt-publique Sociale ! ' and the exhibition of a red flag were to be considered as eonstituting mbderaeauours ; I used to reply , before th « laie events , that a prosecution ought to he made subordinate to circumstances . At present my reply
" . ill be much more absolute : a cry and colours which have become the signal and symbol of civil war cannot henceforward remain unpunished . The law on the clubs and dangerous reunions will give you means of putting , an end to these hotbeds , where Passions went to obtain aliment and cxcitenirnl . Dut . it must not be allowed that this violence driven irom ihe clubs , shall find perhaps more dangerous organs in daily publications or even in the small |; a : i !| ihlets hawked about in our towns and country districts . 1 cannot too much call vour attention to
¦ . ; , is system of Liawkini ; , and the emusaarrs oi secris ; soeini ' ieB , who . aficr disicininaling haired aiul preparing civil war , disappear , a » d leave after them ruin and despair . The presynt law already arms you wilh all the means required to prevent the da . iivcr of this propagation ot evil . Perhaps it . may shortly recf : ivft iorae modifications , wh ' ch in rendering Hie action of justice more rapid , will render it mote efficient . I have on several occasions informed you how important it is for tha utility of repression that it should Ijo immediate , and how much the habit of protracting and uselessly complicating criminal proceedings is injurious to the notion of justice . More than ever you will perceive the necessity \ of observing my
recommendations on tins subject . I will not speak to jou of the state of siege , which an imperious necessity and public safety have imposed on the . government ; it applies only to some departments for which special instructions will be given , and it will besides have oniy a limited duration . In fine , Monsuur le ProcureurGereral , great and difficult situations elevate men who know how to comprehend them , and who feel sufficient courage ta meet the difficulty . That sufiices to inform you , that I have full confidence in your co-operation . Society puts trust in the French magistracy , which has been protected even against revolutions by the universal respect which it has known how to secure—society will not be deceived in its confidence . —1 have the honour to

The carriage in which he travailed had in it three ladies , while he was on the seat hehind as their servant , in an old blouse with a straw hat on his head . The passport with which he was furnished gave an accurate description of bis person , but was in a false name . On passing by Fort 1 'EcIuse , where all passengers leaving France are examined , this passport was registered with all its details , and corresponds vrith the information
sent to the gendarmes , but which did not arrive till this morning . It appears that he quitted the carriage between Fort 1 'Ecluse , and got out of France 6 y crossing the Rhone in the ferryboat from Chancy . Two hours after his arrival at Geneva , the sub-prefect of Gex was informed of it , and » was enabled to verify the fact . The day before yesterday , a person believed to be citizen Considerant , passed through this place in a private carriage drivfin by a person of our arrondissement , well known for his exacgerated op . ruons . He stopped at Vauch y , entering " an inn where hecarc-iull y avoukd all observation , and thence took a guide who couducted-him to Eloise ( Savoy )

GERMANY . DISPERSION OF THE GKRMAN PAttLIAMENT . Stuttgart , June 21 . —The National Assembly was prevented yesterday by violence from sitting at Stuttgart . At one o ' clock ' the court of the Nations ] Assembly waa invaded by the troops , and soon everything was demolished by the axes of . tlie pioneers . From one to three soldiers , artillery , infantry , and cavalry , arrived from all sides . All the streets leading to the parliament meeting place were blockaded by the troops . About three o ' clock the members oi the parliament assembled on the square before the King ' s palace , and went from there in procession ,
the President at their head , escorted by the noble Wurteraberg poet , Uhland . Having come to the first row of bayonets , the President , M . Loewe , of Calwe , summoned the soldiers to let hira pass . Then a commissioner in plain clothes came forth , and informed the President he had received orders from bis government to prevent the public meeting of the Parliament . On saying this he immediately retired behind ike soldiers . M . Loewe cried out to him In the name of the nation stop and hear mv

latinate . Having thus yielded to violence the members of the Parliament assembled to record this act , to authorise tbe President to meet elsewhere , and to order him to prosecute before the tribunals all those who took part in this act of violence committed against the Parliament . The law which tic Parliament passed some months ago for the safety and protection oi its members , and which punishes tha acts of yesterday as high treason , is valid in ' Wuriemberg and the law of the land , for it was officially published
as such . Behold us , then , at the end of tms first German Parliament . I think * Germany , and especially those . who remained faithful to their Parliament , ou » ht to thank M . Roemer for having : given , to it such a Veautiiul " death . The revolution is conquered for tho moment throughout Germany , excepting Baden : if they Itad suffered tlie Parliament to linger on another fortnight , it would have died a natural'death without pity , and covered with ridicule . Now it has died with some honour , or rather , it is not dead , but sleepeth for a season .
The recency will probably go to Carlsrkue , but I don ' t Ihiiik the Parliament will follow it ; for the niHJoriiy does not regard the Baden movement as sufficiently purely German , and then it does not anticipate success . A part of the members of the Parliament will goto Baden to serve as volunteers , but the rest will return home , if that be slill permitted them . All go with the full conviction that ; the ' reaction'has gained aha ! tie , but that it will lose the campaign in the end ; that the legal revolution , which the German nation believes itself called upon to make , has reached its end , but that the violent revolution wiJ ! commence where the other terminates .
Previously to leaving Stuttgart ihe regency issued a proclamation for a general insurrection in aid of the Baden and Bavarian combatants , The formation oi free corps is demanded , and the Germans aie urged to begia ' the holy battle of freedom against shameful oppression .
