Rottn, MARCII Is.—The Ambassador of Pol.- to g ,t, toptw Fnnehal, Iris had a private audience o f hi s Holiness. It is said, that he presented to th e Holy 'Father an autograph Letter of his So vereittn, in which he thanks .lihn for the happy male by Win for recalling the Egli . gjo u i Orders to their ancient ,discipline, and re law ing to the Cloister, ainnx.with its austerity, the sanctity of its ancientinclirotions.

In grnPral they are respecratie both for their knowledge and their religious By the interposition of his 11 , ,Iiiies4, the J , ws of, the Brazils will enjoy the same toltration as thutrof Rome. It is remarked, that several English have lately 'bad the honour of being presented to his Holiness. It is conjectured that they are charged with the. fru irs of the Catholics of Ireland. Several of them have • had conferences with Abbe Taylor and his Excellency Cardiall Gonsalvi. It . is rumoured, - - that the latter is to proceed on a mission to London; .but it is to be,wished, that this Minister may not #lO his post, where he watches with so much su6. cess over the happiness of the pcople, and the glory of religion. For some days past, much printing Las been. going on at the Propaganda. It is nut known what can have ocdasioned the extraordinary labours of this establishment. . Cardinal Gonsalvi appears to be tbe genius of the fine arts, as he is that of our legislation and of ourgovernmcnt. There are many Spaniards and Lombards at Rome as well as French. They appear to forma _ ,crusade in favour o f the arts. Never were stu 'dents of sculpture, painting, turd all the fine arts, so ,numerous. There will be a public, exhibition of the productions of all the young artists, and of all the works bespoken by purchasers. Basta, MARCH 24.—The species of apostle ship which Madame tie itrodner has exercised on our frontiers, and on those of the Grand Duchy of Bitten, has been variously spoken of. It ap= pears to us, that an opinion may be An med on this subject from a quotation of a printed letter, ad -dressed by; Madame Krodner to M. de Bergheim, 'Minister of the Grand Doke of Baden 1— Grenzaclier.Horn, Feh. 14, 1817. " Seeing myself publicly accused of resistance to consti tuted authorities, a conduct which I have always condemned, and contrary to the spirit of mildness which I have always in culcated, I feel myself under the necessity, for the first of breaking silence; a silence which, ln the midst of the in- justice, Outrage, end persecution to which I been inces santly exposed, I have hitherto religiously observed. I de time, therefore', that I never wished tteretaist authorities, in so far as these authorities have not, by their measures, placed themselves in opposition to the commandments which I ought above,ali to respect, as coming from God,'and for which I should he prepared to lay down my life. " It is thus that, in spite of the' prohibition:Which I re cei'vcd, to give no asylum to any person, 'either in my own louse or in the apartMents Whiihl hired in the neighbour hoOd of my !Muse, and in which at first I was permitted to shoW hospitality, I could not, a itbout a crime, yield obedi ence to these measures. TleSides, Sir, you know that no one is received in your country without paying a heavy line for pity:ring it. without express permission. As soon wt I could, I always sent to solicit this permission ; but some times it was Impositible it, on account of distance. I repeat it, I should not' be called to defend myself, had I not to traverse the desert of civilization, and to struggle against laws dis countenanced in the only cede which I acknowledge--that of God." IKSPtitYCK, MARCH 25.—The state of health in Lombardy is better than could' have been believed No French Papers have arrive() to-day. We have made some more copions extracts from those received yesterday. The East India packet Eclipse arrived Yesterday off Portsmouth, and 'allied her mail, n'hiel: has been received in London this morning, and the lettets by it deliVererl vnur;e. The paeltet touched at the Cape of Good Hope, and left it on the 26th January, and at St: Helena, and left it On the 10tb February. The Alacrity and Ernest, from London ; the India Packet and Dinorhea, from Copenhagen ; and the Maria, frion liuenos Ayres, had arrived at the Cape. The Earl of Buckinghamshire, from Bomlpy, and the Nor thombrian, from Bengal, had also art ived a! the Cape ; the former sailed the 2211 January for. Li verpool, the litter on the same day for London. It is with no common degree of satisfaction, that in common with 11 the Londott Journals which we have seen of this thtte,,, we insert the Report ot Mr. Owarea Platt for astparaeiling present intolerable system of Pours' Raies, and at once ameliorating the condition of the lower ord cts , and relieving the middle and higher classes of a most grievous bur hen, and consetinently advancing the 'national prosperity to an almost incalculable extent. This Report, as we originally stated, was laid be,fore the Committee for improving the Condition of the Poor, and by that truly excel. lent and benevolent body, remitted to the Legis. lative Committee of the [louse of Commons, to which the consideration of the Poor Laws has been referred. When we had the honour and happiness exClus, sively to bring this subject under the public eye, we invoked our fello-labourers in t hi Press to enntri. bate their powerful assistance in investigating', and, if convinced of its efficacy, in,promotingthis plan ; and we have rarely enjoyed a higher grist fication than on thii day, in witnessing the unani mous effort of this mighty engine, uninfluenced by Orivate or party feelings and Only inspired by the single wish of benefiting the, country, to en sure universal attention mid discussion to this, as we think, inestimable proposal. Of the Morning Papers, the Post and Day and New Times, have spoken with unqualified praise at the Plan, the Press and Herald have inserted the Repot without comment, the Chronicle bestows the warmest encomium upon Owwor and the . importance of his services , without . niedgingits opinions further, and the Times, which has re cently devoted much investigation to this subject, taking the same tone of panegyric (if just ap plause may he so termed), states several donbis which occur to it on the practicability of the project. These doubts are —first, .thac the Plan " appears to encounter at its outset the fatal oh-, jection of being irreducable to practice, al least on a scaleconimensurate with the public necessities"—. andsecondly, that the remedy is insufficient as it pro poses " a species of establishment which requires for 1,200 souls a previous outlay of near, 100,0001. ; .and whiCh, by consequence, would idemana for 1, 00,000. pauners number much \below the real aggregate of those no s' the objects of lmrn• chid relief in England •••••11 'sum of nOt less than one hundred millions sterling." • These two objections resolve themselves into one which acts indeed two ways, supposing either the inadequacy of any mensute possible to be ac- I complished, or tic impossibility of carrying into e'trect any measure on a scale pr'oporl itineti to the wants of the times. T q our .. rninels, hoictver, it appears that the !Atter notion is unfounded; as for .the former, --weltsve no wish to see a partial ex periment attempted, Which would do mischief in stead of producing good. Mr. theis't's Plan catt. , not graft upon the present system ; they cannot co exist or be united together in any way. The question must therefore beaaken as a ahole, atol even tspoli• the spewing of the Times, we think, that not only the practicability, hut the twilit vof the plan is de monstrable, Suppose the prodigious sum of 1 00 mil!. lions of capital were require 4 to complete the In stitution. It is not wanted at once; it is not:want 'ed in money. It would he formed of the ground used, of the materials for building, &c. and of the labour of the multitudes employed in these works. Thus a large amount of dOrmant wealth would as it were be instantly put in circulation, and speedily added to the Capital of the Country. And this is the soul and spirit of Mr. OWItN'S plan—it is to create it new source of riches and productiveness. • Again, suppose the en tire of. this value (howvver composed) were to he in the State of borrowed money. The inte rest at 4 per cent., would amount to no more titan 4,000,0001. per sun, or not one hall' of the sum at present paid in Poor Rutes. 'Butt then we come to the still stronger argument ;—the sum . now paid annually in Poor Rates is absorbed by idleness ; it goes into a guild', returqing nothing; it is uttetly swalowed up and consUwed by the wretchedness which it scarcely aNvlates. Bat according to the New Plan, the expenditure is like seed sown upon a productive soil and certain of a harveit. You at the s ame ti me relievenfisery . , and render ; it prodoetive because .you render it indror triotts. And again (we must write in a desultor . ,y marine; from the want of time and matare prep era tion) it is a prominent . fea: ore in Mr. OWEN'S project that by . the discreet management in cort' gregated masses, of that, 'which scattered alsoitt and 'exert ising .separate Consumption, costs sp mach more, you will save above two thiedz, r ," : We tulip that the : rennet. who spouts the Pctiish in the 'existing mode fifteen pounds a-year, and. returns nothing, he, suppor led and infinitely rbetter supported in these shments 'at four pounds ti-year, and 'be also; a profit to the Com munity instead or A ,dead loss. So 'much f .,, r the pecuniary que‘ition ; but what man shall appreciate the moral tolv4ntages to be reaped hour this noble Plan ` ? ‘Ve confess to haring imbibed a. portion of the enthusiasm of its virtuous .and truly great Proposer, awl we dare. not Winch thiSlelile, but it is One that must worm the Coldest hearts, and stimulate the mast emulous natures, and unite the most con-, Meting sentiments a, least in the wish that it may be practicable, anti may be adolitstl To conclude these hasty remalks, we must no- lice the . honour which the Press of Lo\Liion has done itself in tHs matter ; and we i, have also ob served with great pleasure the exertions , of the Slieilield 111ercnry,.

It is deserving the aid of all true Patriots ; and of all the `Pa trims who have distinguished the atnl6 of Graai • he the •only tribute we pay, to Mr. Uwitty)—its Inventor and zealous Advo T : cite may rest assured his name will rank among the highest to the latest posterity.
