people, and the band of the Carabinsers (formerly the
great body guard of retrograde opinions) traversed !
the town playing various opera airs appropria.e to
free aspirations, but omitting what was hitherto an
obligato tune, viz., Rossini's hymn, called the
" March of Pio None."
The irruption of the people late the hall of the
deputies was by no means a reproduction of the simi-
lar outbreak at Paris. There were two distinct
assemblies of the citizens, the one violent and exaspe-
rated, the other more rational but equally determined,
headed by Ciceroacchio. Neither of these bodies
offered violence to the chamber, but both clamoured
for an unequivocal manifestation of the national will,
end insisted on no half measures with respect to the
liberation of Italy from Radetski. The result was,
that the chamber, by an Dimwit unanimous vote, de-
clared " the country in danger," and would have gone
a step farther, had not there been a reaction produced
by the intemperate and bombastic speeches of Canino
Buonaparte, who has done all in his power to make
the truly national and serious enthusiasm of the
Roman people ..clious and laughable.
Some unprincipled intriguers who beset the Pope
have been urging on him the choice of a new prime
minister, in the person of Count Rossi, the late French
ambassador, and the most eminent disciple of Guizot.
Talleyrand could not hold a candle to this wily practi-
tioner. Ile has prudently declined for the present, well
knowing that, if not flung from the Tarpeian rock,
he would infallibly be soused in the Tiber at a greater
or less distance from the Cloaca maxima. It appears
that the ex-Bologna patriot, ex-Genevese professor,
ex-professor of Sorbonne, ex-ambassador, has got
another string to his bow, for he has just contrived to
get himself elected by a small majority member of
the Turin Chamber for the town of Carrara, famous
for its marble quarries.
As to the party of whom Lambrusohini, Della
Genga, Transom, and Bernetti, are the leaders, it were
sheer madness to dream of their resuming any lean-
mice in the affairs of the Roman state, and their
scanty support even among those who fattened on
the spoils of corruption and jobbery has been happily
illustrated by a quotation from Virgil, recently made
in the course of a debate in the chamber, and deecrip-
tive of an Italian cottage, along the walls of which
talvestris runs emit La mamma meads."

It was reported that Ciceroacchio was in prison,
for his recent appearance at the head of a deputation
at the bar of the chamber: but I saw him today, and
he appeared to enjoy his liberty with the gusto of an
honest man.
I regret to add that the cry of "death to the
priests is no uncommon vociferation now, and to
such an extremity every act of the retrograde faction
Is hurrying this excitable population. These world-
ling. care not a jot for the church of God, provided
they secure the fat things for themselves and their
dependents; but the result is that nothing less than a
wholesale confiscation of church lands to suKort the
national cause will satisfy those who are justly dis-
gusted at the selfish policy of these mea.
:Male is still here, but cannot get anyone to
listen to his rabid denunciations of the British go-
vernment. The matter of the colleges will be left to
the diocesan prudence of such bishops as will have to
deal with them in their several localities. Mayo is
not threatened with any educational pestilence yet.
