ROME, MARCH 20.
The Par correspondent of one of your contem-
poraries gyres it out for certain that the Pope will
comply with, the wishes of the French Emperor ere
low, and repair with a ssniptuous train of ecclesisa-
tie* to NotreStsme, to plass the imperial crown upon
ther anointed heed of Napekon 111. Such, however,
ils. by no means, the prevalent opinion- here, nor can
any ape acquainted with the temporising character
cedar Pupal tenet imagins. that a stsp.of such im-
portance is like, to be nisei by his 'Holiness, con-
tra" to the wall of Austria. w 4 the remonstrances of

'lucre never won a justooariticism od the French
away in the-Papa States,than that made the other
dap by a Roman of high finding, celebrated for his
Nanning and his witticisms. "Throe things have
astounded me:" said he, "-ever since the French occu-
pied our esuntly : the Besot their rowels, the dia.
sipline of their soldiers, and the dissonance of their
Sands!" The first chum, has been fully established
by the wonderfully contradictory proclamations of
Oudinot and his successors; the second by the won-
derfully few frays between soldiess and citizens of
different nations, by so means food of each other;
and the third by the torture which the French mili-
tary music invariably inflicts upon the sensibility of
an Italian tympanum.
Mr-Lyons, who supersedes Mr. Petre in the post
of unaccredited diplomatic agent of the British go-
vernment in Rome, has not yet arrived, but is ex-
pected every day.
The city is thronged to excess with foreigners
flocking in from Naples and Florence to witness the
ceremonies of the Holy Week.
This morning his Holiness performed the customary
palm branch ceremony in St. Peter's, which opens
the series of splendid ecclesiastical pageants for which
Rome is celebrated at this season. Uniforms and
costumes of all descriptions enriched the scene, and
the prooeasionary train comprised the usual throng
of cardinals, diplomatists, generals, and converts.
This winter has been much less productive than the
last in swelling the ranks of the Roman catholic
church at the expense of those of the church of
England. Father Manning is expected to be the
favoured competitor amongst the three candidates
whose name, have been submitted to his Holiness for
appointment to the Roman catholic see of Notting-
ham, as he has the advantage of a considerable theo-
logical reputation, and moreover a personal acquaint-
ance with the Pope.
Considerable sensation has been 'produced in the
provinces by the execution of several individuals at
Ferrara, convicted by the Austrians of political of-
' fences, amongst whom is Signor Gullanelli, who
. served as an officer in the army which defended Rome
' from the attacks of the French. The animosity of
' the Austrians against the very shade of liberalism
' dictates the harshest possible measures to the Papal
L authorities, who, indeed, do not require any such
' instigation, and it is the will of the Austrian ambas-
sador here that prevents Monsignor Matteuoci from
L relaxing the rigour of police surveillance which sends
I so many Romans like children to their houses every
' day at sunset, and so many suspected individuals to
r prison on the first rumour of disturbances in other
' countries..

The fourth battalion of the Austrian regiment,
Francis Joseph 1., has relieved the disaffected Hun-
garians hitherto in garrison at Ancona.
His Holiness has condescended to patronise the
sculptor De Fabrio's plan for a monument to the
memory. of Torquato Tasso,.and has handed over to
Prince Borghese, one of the members of the commit-
tee appointed to carry out the undertaking, a hand-
some sum from his pnvy purse.
Exchange upon London, 482. Roman Console, 96;

The Genoa Gazette of the 23rd inst. announces the
arrival in that city, from Nice, of Mr. Campbell Scar-
lett, Charge d'Affaires of Great Britain at the Court
of Tuscany.
The Opinione publishes the following letter, dated
Milan, 22nd:—
The news of the "Amnesty of the Innocent" was re-
ceived at Mantua with demonstrations of joy by a great
number of families who beheld tke are of the ezecutioner
suspended over the heads of their relatives. The entire city
was illuminated. The Mayor of Milan also wished th►t this
amnesty, if it can be so called, should be celebrated by an
illumination of the theatre of La Scala. The military com-
mander insisted on the National Hymn being sung, and at
• signal given by the commissioner of police all the specta-
tors stood up. General Gyulai observed from his seat how
his orders were era uted, and, having remarked that the
Marquis Foncino had retired with his lady to the inner part
of his box, he sent to him a commissary of police, who con-
ducted him to the city prison, where he remained until mid-
night. Liberated at that hour, he wasenjoined not to leave his
house, fur I don't know how many days, and to receive
none of hi. friends until further orders. I have to com-
municate to you another strange piece of intelligence, the
object of which is not easily understood. The military
authorities have granted permis,ion to a number of old
"Mecca of the Kingdom of Italy, who served in Napoleon's
army, to proceed to l'aris to compliment the nephew of the
Great Captain. They have been even furnished with letters
of recommendation.
