An idle report prevailed some days ago in the French

capital, of se- rious disturbances in Rome, the issue of which had been no less than the deposition of his Holiness. A comparison of the date of this pre- tended intelligence, which was brought by the passengers of a steam- boat, with that of letters from the capital of Italy, showed sufficiently its value. More direct, though not more conclusive, evidence has been since obtained by the arrival, at Marseilles, of another steamer, which touched at Civita Vecchia on the 18th, at which pariod every thing was tranquil, and had been so.
