ROME, A.RIL 7.
Rim holiness has bithel to gone through the labours
of the holy week tolerably successfully, and the
attendance of foreigners has been as crowded and
stamina as usual in St. Peter's and the Biztine
ehopi, the court circle offering the customary rich-
me ea variety of costume from the Roman earth-
aarsperple and ermine to the British n.ilitia
NEM and silver. The few English ostbellas of
ads fa Use have assisted personally in theatre.

The only casualties that have occurred, besides the

Asa want of ready money still aMicts the treastry,
negotiations ter a fresh loan are mentioned as on the
taps with Rothschild, who would engage to furnish
ten millions of wadi, on condition of the capital and
interest being secured by. a mortgage on ecclesiastical '
property, but it is against the principle of the
government to burthen the lands of the church for
the good of the state.
This same principle rendan the smoothing of matters
so difficult with Spain. The indignation against the
government of that country felt by the court of Rome
is mach greater than that of the Spanish clergy
Itself, to whom the substitution of a fixed income
for the confiscated church lands is not after all so
disegreable, u the inoome proposed is rated at a
higher valuation than the actual income of the lands
restored to the clergy in virtue of the concordat
drawn up by the reasseios Branelli and Franchi ;
besides which the Spanish clergy, although catholic,
is, as • body, more patriotic than ultranion-
tans. Bat Rome is SVOIIM to the 'lineation of
church property, imams it the main-
tains hoe hold upon the clergy reign co retries,
and resists the power of the ender government.
