A despatch from Twin, dated yesterday, stales that a denial
has been given there to the statement that the squadron of Admiral Person° had commenced and suspended firing on the Royalists near Gaeta. The news of a mysterious expedition under the command of General Turr has been declared to be a pure invention.
The French Government having, since the removal of its Minister from Turin, declared that it withdrew its protection from Sardinian sub- jects in the Roman States, Mr. Newton, her Britannic MajeAty's Consul at Rome, has received instructions to take them under his official pro- tection.

right in dynasties. .
