REVOLUTION IN ROME . In a former Number we gave an account of an insurrection at Rome , in which a French General was killed , and violence committed on the French- ^ Ambassador . The Directory' of France , highly incensed at this conduct , ordered an army , under the command of General Berthier , to march immediately to that capital of the old wor'd . This was no sooner ordered than executed . On the 1 ith of February the French army presented themselves before Rome . They found every thing

in a state of profound stupor . No resistance was attempted , for the Pope s troops fell back as the French advanced . When arrived , at the gates , several deputies presented to the French General an olive crown , in the name of the Roman people . The General observed , that in accepting of it , he received it for General Buonaparte , whose illustrious actions and great exploits had prepared their liberty . The Commander in chief then proceeded to the Capitol . Having planted on its walls the French standard , he pronounced a discourse to the people , reminding them of their noble ancestors , and assuring them that the Gauls brought

peace in one hand and liberty in the other . He then proclaimed the independence of the Roman' Republic , comprehending all the territory which remained under the temporal authority of the Pope after the treaty of Cariipo Formic . The people declared in their act of sovereignty that it is their will to preserve the religion which they practise , and to leave untouched the spiritual authority of the Pope . They then proceeded to the organization of their government , upon the principles of the French Constitution . They resolved to make a provision for the maintenance of the Pope . —All those who were most active in the late insurrection , as well as the English resident at Rome , fled before the arrival of the French army . The French Directory presented the following Message to the Council of Five Hundred relative to this Revolution .

* The theocratical Government of Rome , forgetting the benefit which it had received irom the treaty of Tolentino , ungrateful to Ihe French Republic , which had condescended to spare it after the assassination of Basseville ; that Government , always faithless to the la . vs of nations , upon the 8 th Nivose last , insulted the Majesty of the Great Nation in Ihe person of iis Ambassador , by violating his palace , and causing to be murdered before his eyes a French General , the brave Duphot , who til ! then had escaped the dangers of war , but fell a sacrifice to base perfidy . For a considerable time the Papal Government had secretly renewed

hostilities , and caused preparations for war to be made against Ihe French Republic . It invited foreign Generals into iis service . It corresponded secretly with the conspirators who were overthrown by the 18 th Fructidor . Il opposed to the " laws of the French Republic the decisions of its theologians , in order to excite new troubles in the bosom of France . At last it organized against , itself a pretended insurrection , of which it wished to make a pretext to calumniate France , to outrage her Ambassador , and to signalize that spirit of frenzy and delirium which burst forth in the proceedings of the 8 th Nivose . Since that period it

continued its manoeuvres and hostilities . The Executive Directory was bound , in these circumstances , to employ , for the defence of the slate , the means which the Constitution places in its power . It gave orders to the Commander in Chief of the Army of Italy to march to Rome . A courier , who has just arrived , brings the intelligence that since Ihe 22 d Pluvioise ( -Feb . n . ) the troops pf the French Republic have been in possession of the Castle of St . Angelo and : the Capitol . The Executive Directory , agreeably to the 328 th article of the Constitution , takes the first opportunity to apprize the Legislative Body of the first

measures which it has thought proper to adopt against a Government incorrigible in its perversity , and its frantic hatred against the Revolution and Ihe French Republic . P . BARRAS , President . LAGAIIDE , Secretary . "
