News and Miscellany.

Can ye not discern the Signs of the Times? Matt. xvi, 3.
The Roman Invasion.—Garibaldi attacked and defeated. Paris, Nov. 4.—Evening. The following intelligence is received here from Rome:
At 6 o’clock this morning the Papal troops, supported by the French forces, attacked Garibaldi at Monte Rotondo, and defeated him. Some say he is a prisoner, while others report that he was killed.
Half an hour after the attack commenced, Garibaldi, finding that his retreat was cut off, fought his way to the town of Monte Rotondo, where he was reinforced by some Italian troops, but, the French coming to the assistance of the Pontifical soldiers, he was beaten.
Another account. Paris, Nov. 5. The Moniteur publishes full particulars of the battle in Italy. The scene of the fight was near Tivola. Three thousand of the insurgents were either killed, wounded or made prisoners. Garibaldi himself and his son Menotti were captured at Terri and sent to Florence as prisoners of war.
Four thousand Garibaldians while on the march to reinforce the insurgents were stopped, disarmed and turned back. The greatest agitation prevails in Italy.
Napoleon’s ultimatum. The ultimatum of Napoleon is to be answered by or before Thursday.
Berlin, Nov. 5.—Evening. It is thought here that the recent defeat of General Garibaldi cancels the ultimatum of Napoleon.
Various rumors. London, Nov. 5.—Evening. It is said that the Italians have repassed the frontier; it is also stated that Napoleon has received General Marmora, the Italian Ambassador.
Arrival of Garibaldi at Spezzia. Geneva, Nov. 5. Garibaldi has arrived at Spezzia on board an Italian man-of-war, a prisoner in the hands of the Italian Government.
Great Britain.—Serious bread riots in Exeter, England. London, Nov. 5.—Noon. Serious bread riots occurred in Exeter, yesterday and to-day. Every meat and bread shop in the city has been sacked. At the date of the last despatches incendiary fires were breaking out in different parts of the town. There was much excitement, and the local authorities had petitioned government for troops to quell the disorder.
The Note to the Sultan of Turkey on the Eastern Question.—St. Petersburg, November 4. The Journal de St. Petersburg prints the official copy of a note from Russia, France, Prussia and Italy, to the Sultan of Turkey on the Eastern Question. After rehearsing the diplomatic representations which have from time to time been made to the Sublime Porte by the European Powers, jointly or singly, in favor of granting the demands of the Cretans and for a general amelioration of the condition of the Christians in the Ottoman Empire, all of which seem to have failed to make any impression, the note declares that the Great Powers will hold the Sultan answerable for rejecting their advice and responsible for whatever consequences may follow.
The Fenian Alarm.—Liverpool, November 4. The alarm about the Fenians in this city does not subside. Troops have been sent here and others are arriving. Sir Alfred Horsford, who was active and efficient in suppressing the outbreak in the South of Ireland, is in command of the military forces.
Armed Organizations in the South.—New York, Nov. 5. The World’s special says: Numerous communications have been sent to the Executive from various quarters of the South, stating that armed organizations of colored persons are forming, and in some instances threatening the lives of the whites; that negro companies are drilling near Chain Bridge and other places in Virginia for the purpose of supporting Congress in the enforcement of the law to depose the President during impeachment. The matter has been referred to Gen. Grant. No authority for organizing such companies has been given by the War Department. It is understood that the President has ordered Gen. Grant to take steps to disband and suppress them.
Announcement of Peace with the Indians.—St. Louis, Nov. 5. Gen. Sherman has issued a military order announcing that peace has been made with the Kiowa, Camanche, Apache, Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians. The General then says: “The hostilities heretofore existing on the part of the troops will cease. The treaty guaranteeing to the Indians the right to hunt game in certain limits in Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado is to be respected. Indians hunting are to be treated in a friendly spirit. The troops required to be kept with the Indians are authorized to be used if necessary, to restrain actions of violence against the Indians, trading with them without license, or doing anything calculated to distress the pacific relations.
