The Roman correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette makes the

extraordinary statement that General Trochu has written to the Pope declaring that as soon as peace has been made he will re- vindicate Rome for his Holiness. He will even for this object give up his cherished design of quitting public life. That statement must be entirely unfounded. Not to mention that Trochu, though originally Orleanist, has openly announced his adhesion to the Republic, his government cancelled the September Convention, and wrote to congratulate the King of Italy on the occupation of Rome. For Trochu, read Trochu as interpreted by Thiers, who learns nothing and forgets nothing.
