TILE CASE OF EDWARD MURRAY.

ItOME, Juxe..l.4.

We arc not without hopes of seeing Eduard
affair brought to a conclusion crc long, and
that a favourable one, if court rumours are to be
trusted to. In a few days the papers relative to his
trial and condemnation are to he laid before the
Pope, who, from all that has transpired, will not
show himself indifferent to the interest taken by
private individuals and the urgent representations
of the British government in the prisemer's behalf.
Mr. Freeborn, the British consular agent, left this
city this morning, having obtained leave of absence
from Lord Malmesbury. in order to restore, by a kin-
pumry relaxation, his health, which has been much
shattered by four years of constant anxiety and ap-
plication. He first repairs to Ancona, where he will
no doubt concert measures with Mr. Moore for alle-
viating Murray's condition, leaviug the management
of the case at head-quarters to Mr. l'etre, who, in his
interviews with Cardinal Antonelli on the subject,
will not, it iv to be hoped, abandon the energetic
course hitherto pursued by the consul, iu accordance
with the intentions of her Majesty's government.
General Lindsay is drawing up a documental state-
ment of the whole affair for the Prussian ininister,
M. d'Usedoni, and intends to do his utmost,
before setting out from Rome, to leave the
case in a fair way. The general has exerted himself
in Murray's favour, both from tho promptness of his
own humanity, and from his wish to save from igno-
minious death the son of a brother officer, and lie has
d.oie so after mature examination of the circum-
stances, and a thorough conviction of Mur-
ray's innocence of the capital charges brought
against him, although perhaps lie may be
very culpable in other respects. Another Eng-
lish or 1602 gentleman has been occupying
himself in the matter; and it has been said
that he was especially requested to do so by Sir Henry
Lytton Bulwer, at Florence. This gentleman, Mr.
Patrick O'Brien by name, has had interviews with
Cardinal Antonelli, with Edward Murray's brother,
who is established in Rome as a mosaicist, and
other pereous capable of giving him information.
Disturbances continue at \ elletri. His Holiness
has decreed a reciprocil of navigation duties with
Spain.

A letter from Bourg of the 18th states that the
news from Friburg is exceedingly grave. Tho
Grand Council has decreed the dissolution of the
cominittie of Posieux. A era• mixtiug of the tieople
is spoken of. The agitation is great, and so is the
indignation. It is impossible to foresee the events
