LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
The conspiracy against the present pontifical govern-
lent app'ars not to have been confined to Rome, I
ut to hive had its ramifications in the provinces; for,
cording to accounts from Bologna of the 20th, on
le 17th. the very day it was to have exploded in the
ipital, 1,800 Austrian troop., with some pieces of
rtillery, entered Ferrara, a city of the Pope's
ominions, in the citadel of which the Austrians
thintain a garrison. The soldiers had their muskets
mided, their bayonets fixed, and wore green bows in
heir caps. Their behaviour was most insulting, and
hey affected all the airs of a victorious army entering
vanquished city. The men were quartered in the
arrack of San t)omenico, and the officers, after an
ttempt to be billetted on the inhabitants, which WAS
esisted by the Cardinal Legate, were obliged to
she up their residence in the hotels. On the 19th
hese troops continued still in possession of the city ;
nit their endeavours to create disorders, by insolent
novocations, had failed of effect. At Faenza, on the
17th, the Carabineers attacked the people without
my motive, and, but for the Swiss troops who joined
he latter, many lives would have been lost, so great
was the exasperation on both sides. At Bologna the
ielebmtion of the anniversary of the amnesty was in:i-
ntended with any public demonstration. In one of
the churches, a Corsican, supposed to be an Austrian
lent, indecently interrupted the preacher whilst he
AU extolling the virtues of Pius IX. He, however,
Galled to produce any disorder, and was suffered to
escape unmolested.
