The Faro midis the following document from a biography
of the Duke ei Setcenclor, hunted in a literary parodied,
to show the ergesey with which the duke was pressed by the
queen to take Gees seine his own inclination :
" Malmo, JAN. F 1847.—Cues Irujo : Asap:Wens=
(caballero) end good Spaniard, you cannot refuse to servo
your queen, who asks you to help her out of a politica in
which I neither can nor ought to make another ministry
than the ens which I have made. Do not excuse yrself,
dam I desire you forthwith to come and take oath. lou have
said so to the president of congress, whose counsel is my will.
Yoe may Ma amused that I appreciate you much.—lBAßE L."
A correspondent of the Heralds writes from Huelva that
on the 19th two English officers of the war-steamer Phoinix,
acting under the orders of Sir W. Parker, preempted them-
selves, first before the Spanish commander-general, and then
before the intendente of the province, to claim a vessel that,
Nailing under English colours. and wearing every appearance
of a smuggler, was taken in March last in La Higueritn. The
in:endente gave them to understand that this case did not
belong to his tribunal, but to the Audiencia, in which court
the trial was now pending. Having received this answer,
the officers returned to Lisboa to report the malt of their
application to the admiral.
All doubts about the abundance of the harvest having
ceased, the Gazette publishes a roy il order repealing the
decrees of the 14th and 23rd of last March, which prohibited
the exportation of grain, and re-imposing all the taxes upon
grain which were by the same decrees taken off. The im-
portation of foreign grain is to be regulated by the laws
which existed previous to the decrees of March, and in par.
titular by the decree of Jan. 29, 1834.
The provincial deputation elections may be cossidered ter-
minated. The progresista candidates have won the day
prineipally in the provinces of Madrid, Zaragoza, Coronet'.
Gerona, Toledo, Grenade. The moderados have prevailed
generally in Valencia, Alicante, Castellon, Lugo, Barcelona,
Cadiz, Ciudad-real, Zamora, Jaen, Cordoba, Almeria, Pa-
lencia, Pontevedra' Oviedo, Guadalajara, Cuenca, Huelva,
Huesca, Valladolid, and Murcia. The remaining provinces
are pretty. evenly divided between the two parties. This,
however, is the Faro's account of the business.

ROME, JuLv 23.
The position of the Pontiff is painful in the ex.
treme. While he joins with his people in hearty
thanksgiving for their providential rescue from an in-
discriminate massacre, he cannot scare away the sad
conviction, strengthened every hour by oral and docu-
mentary evidence, that high officials, holding the first
clerical rank, were no strangers to what the Prelate
Grasselini (a now manifest traitor) had connived at and
abetted. His sign manual for letting loose more than
a hundred miscreants from prison on the previous
day ; his written orders to admit the blood-thirsty
bludgeonmen from Faenza without the usual passports
into the city, to the number of several hundreds ; his cor-
respondence with the military ringleader, Col. Freddi ;
but too well justified his precipitate flight across the
frontier. That higher personages were cognisant of
an expected outbreak, without probably being further
initiated into the fouler deeds to be done, is placed
beyond doubt by the documents in the hands of jus-
tice ; and how to deal with these great conniving
criminals would be no problem to Sixtus Quintus,
bat is a very perplexing dilemma to Pius IX. It
appears
.to have been arranged among the exalted
dignitaries I speak of, what part each was to play is
the melodrama the sanguinary scenes of which were,
perhaps, kept out of the rehearsal. Tho road to
Naples now turns out to have been the Pope's desti-
nation, on the troops mastering the town ; but, pre-
viously, these cardinals were to have presented
for his signature, during the general panic
and &laughter, a written document, calling for
the intervention of France.' and Austria. Car-
dinal Dellagenga had already done enough last year
to justify his execution for high treason : whether he
will escape this time is to be seen. Cardinal Her-
netti, who had amassed wealth under Gregory,
and was deep in the councils of Lambruschun,
has suddenly taken to his sick bed, and is
strongly recommended by the state physician not to
leave his room. Lambruschini is safe in Genoa,
where his position is thus described in the person of
his almost namesake by Byron :

I mid that Lambe* sem a mm of patience,
Not that he was not sometimes in rash mood;
He bore their sneering at hie neer relations
Calm, coiled up like the boa in a wood.—Cant. di, at. IC.
Before he fled from Civita Vecchia, the week pre-
vies, to the plot's discovery, he had proclaimed to the
poor of the diocese that all in want had but to pre-
sent themselves, and each person Would receive a
silver panto. Not one of that wretched, squalid,
poverty-stricken population was found willing to
accept his charity—folks who would pick your pocket
of a bajoccho nevertheless. Count Ladolf, the Nea-
politan ambassador, had entered into the kindest
arrangements for the rapid abduction of Pius, and his
quick transfer to bella Napoli : and it is now found
that the famous feud among the hackney-coachmen,
which was to be one of the grand features of the
contemplated riot, was got up through his manage-
ment: most of the foreign jarvies being now found
to have come up here from the Abrurxi—and formi-
dable brutes they are!
It seems that the conspirators were alert enough to
know that the Jews would fight like Maccabees for
the Pope. The papers found in Col. Freddi's house
show that he had an eye to that point, and had made
arrangements for shutting and guarding the gates of
the Ghetto. It was to be set on fire, if necessa7.
The Bilancia of yesterday notices another feature in
the combination. The workmen were to be induced
to smash machinery of various kinds lately intro-
duced, as so much taken from the profits of labour.
It also talks of men di transalpine lingua, stirring up
the populace to discontent. In the same paper.there
is mention of what I myself have seen, viz., in the
courtyards of various palaces and houses belonging
to the liberal citizens of Rome, a large mysterious
chalk mark in red was traced conspicuously in the
fashion following—S. S., which was understood to
mean Sangue ! Saccagio!
The Bilancia further asserts that the massacre was
decided on by the three conservative powers of
Southern Europe, Austria, France, and Narks.
" UN' IIECATOMBE A Glove CONSERVATORE!" is the
opening phrase of the leading article.
The same intelligent publication, which is consi-
dered more moderate in its tone than the totempa-
enasek indeed semi-official, states that Rome has
jut "a due dita della rorina :" it talks in terms
cif bitter sarcasm of the late executive, it pater she chic-
mono MECUM°, and congratulates its readers in the
words of old Dante on the luck of Rome:
Omits fuer del pelage alto rim,
Pt mine all'sgua peridnora.
Meantime it would seem that Count Rossi, formerly
so prominent, had gone to sleep or winked at the
whale affair. The general cry among intelligent
Romans is why England allows the continental
powers to play ducks and drakes with the freedom of
shispeninsula, far more important to them in the
earning events of Europe, than the worn-out Spanish
peal rela for which they lavished blood and treasure.
• Tsa dad not be surprised if the official journals
Leak Philippe attempt to deny the existence of
awl plot, inasmuch as the old gentleman who carried
as umbrella is probably at the bottom of the whole
berimess. Like Titus Oates, be will, no doubt,
attempt to say they are 'tilting the plot ; and stifle it
he will if he can.
Minardi," the spy," was captured yesterday; and
his mime is considered of importance, as he is sure
to tura " Pope's evidence." The search after him was
the mad exciting thing imaginable : 6,000 citizens
bad sworn to find him out, and the only scene like it I
may be found in Cobbett's famous account of a rat-
hunt
on the moving of the corn stacks. At last
Cicero-Vihachio rot hold of his dog, and by the in-
stinct of the canine brute they ferreted him out and
lodged him safe in prison.
I subjoin an official document, the circular of the
new Secretary of State on assuming office :
It was *great consolation for the Holy Father to see that,
docile to the voice of religion end to the exhortations of mon-
signor the pro-governor, his beloved people of Rome have so
immediately relinquished all thoughts of perMsting is an

declared last year, he will ever remember that justice is his
first duty. This justice shall be ever exerted against every
enemy of the public order and of his sovereignty, in the
forma and by the means of the authorities established by the
laws, so that in falling upon the guilty it may not
envelope the innocent ,n an unmerited misfortune. On this
occasion his Holiness has requested us to express, in his
