MADRID, AtOM 21.
Yaterdsy all the ministers except Arrazola srrired
in Madrid. A peace has been patched up man
them. As the elate of the bank begins M inspire
uneasiness on the part of the public, the Gazette pub-
lishes weekly statements of the bank amaunt..

Notwithstanding these returns public mistrust
on the increase, for the bank pays in smell charge it
older to gain time, and has besides sonic serious et-
gagements with the government.
The Treasury is in a deficit of 70 millions, which
also has a very depressing influence on the public
mind. In the War-office there has hen spent
38,800,000 reale more than was set down in the
budget in that department. There is due to the
marine 182,000 real', to the home depatteent
3,970,000 reale, to the public instruction, commerce,
and public works, 1,512,000 reale. In the othe
n.inistries the employis have not received a farthing
these two months, and the poor pensioners (who, le
the bye, are used to it), these four months. The bill
upon the provirces are for the most part returned pro-
tooted. The quicksilver mine resources have beet
paid beforehand and ab.orbed. The direct land
contribution will be 30,000,000 of reale less than ha
year, that of the industrial subsidy will be dimini4ed
by a fourth part. (Its total is 34 millions of real'.)

ROME, Al OUST 21.
I have received the follwing interesting partially,
from Bologna, with respect to the death of Garr
baldi's wife and the execution of the Padre Ugo
Bassi :

"Bologna, August 20. It is now certain that
Garibaldi is at Venice, where he arrived alone, him
log been obliged to leave his wife at Primaro, in the
neighbourhood of Itavenna, recommending her to the
care of a farmer. Sho died shortly after. (The
public papers state that she was in a raging fever at
the time, and that her death followed or was caused
by drinking a glass of water. They affirm also that
her husband stayed with her until she had ceased to
live, and that he was overwhelmed with grief at her
toes.) The farmer, fearing it would be discovered
that he had harboured Garibaldi, buried the body 01
the victim—but this very fact led to his discovery, sad
he with his family are now in prison at Ravenna.
" On the 7th of August, at 7 p m., Father Rua
and Captain Ladraghi arrived here from Ravenna
They were arrested at the bridge of Logo, and scat
on hither in a waggon, together with some thieves
who had just been captured. On their arrival they
were taken to the residence of General Garkowskw
who was then shunt at Forli, but who came back od
the morning of the Bth, and immediately sentenced
the padre and the captain to dealt, without any form
of legal process or raainivation. The sentence tree
read to the victims at noon, and put into execution et
one o'clock on the same day. Their bodies were in-
tarred, without the rites of Christian burial, when
they were shoe, near a number of rbbbers (amongst
whom was the public executioner of Bologna)
who bad been condemned by the Austria
court-martial, and shot a few days before.
The soil containing these two corpses soon beanie
scene of pilgrimage for our unhappy city ; and hen•
deeds of well-disposed citizens repaired there eeerf
day to shed tears over the gravel. The body of Pa-
dre Bassi was uncovered in the night of the 10th-
17th August, and portions of his dress, as well se the
handkerchief which he had in his pocket, were taken
away as remembrances. Every morning the place d
interment was strewn with pieces of poetry, martyrs'
palms, and flowers, so that the (government has been
forced to have the bodies buried in the public cemet!•
ries. Father Bassi in that of the priests, and Captard
Ladraghi in that of the soldiers."
I hear that Padre Bessi's constant wish was to
prove the sincerity of his opinions by his death, sad
that his favourite maxim was, " Dole* et decorum sat
pro patria mori." The French have not cedilla
acted with such summary vengeance here, altho
some military executions have taken place
amongst the troops for insubordination.
Arrests continue, and will probably increase aUf
that Monsignor Savelli bee a finger in the Pll'ec•
Ciceroacchio's great friend, the Carbonaretto, hashes
taken at list, to the great joy of the priests, some do
of whom has written a very abusive anonymous !et,
ter on the occasion to Mr. Consul Freeborn, taulnq
him with not having been able to save this victim of
their vengeance. One is equally surprised and hot
rifled to find ministers of God condescending to soak
base modes of recrimination.

The vindictive steps resolved on by the Triumvirate
of cardinals increase in severity as the commissioners
feel themselves gradually more and more consolidated
in the resit of power, and more closely surrounded by
the unseruputons myrmidons of despotism. An edict
has been issued this morning appointing a special',
tribunal charged with examining into, and summarily
punishing, all offence., insults, or injuries committed
by word or deed against public bodies or private
individuals, and especially against the sacred person
of the sovereign pontiff and the ministers of
religion, during the republican government. This
measure is declared in the preamble to be ren-
dered necessary by the increasing complaints and
appeals of the (deeded parties, and their just in-
dignation at eeeirg the authors and executors of so
many iniquities stall walking the streets unpunished.
As the evidence and pruceediegs of this, as well as of
other ecclesiastical tribunals, will of coarse bo secret,
the whole affair is evidently a mere excuse for expe-
ditiously getting rid of CI those who are known or
sespected to be unfavourable to the present restorer
Lion. In feet, had the greatest enemies of the priest-
hood invented a line of conduct calculated t ruin
that bmly for ever in the Intimation of the world,
both wi•li respect to political wisdom and Christian
virtues, they could not have hit upon a series of reso-
lutions more suited to the purpose, or more corrobo-
rative of the adage, " Quem Deus volt perdere prim
dententat."

NAPLES, Avonsc 24.
Every day adds to the difficulties of the Gaeta plot.
Generat Oudinot's visit has ken productive of little
or no result. The Pope and the Jesuits around him
still in •ist on his Holiness's return to Home without
say condition whatever. They have not, however,
the courage to state as much to the French cabinet.
If they can only get the French army out of Some,
and occupy the Eternal City with Spanish and Nea-
politan troops, they will have obtained their ends;
but this is not an easy task. The language which
the French General held in his late visit to Gaeta
was, that the cabinet of the republic would lose the
confidence cf the Chamber, if a purely priestly
government were established in Rome ; it woulJ,
therefore, be advisable to incorpo-ate a lay power
with the new government. Pio Nono received these
proportions, 1 am inform.d, with an approving smile,
but nothing was promised, nothing time, as a pool of
which it is now positively arranged that his Holi-
Deem is to leave Gaeta ere ling. and occupy one of his
Neapolitan Majesty's royal palace..
