LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o'Clock.
The following account of a conspiracy discovered at
Rome, taken from the Slinephore de Marseilles, is in
the main correct Oar ovrn despatches confirm the prin-
cipal facts, but enter into striking details, tracing the
matter to its origin, and furnish the latest particulars,
which we will present to our readers in full to-morrow:
The Slmaphore de Marseilles publishes a letter
from Rome, of the 18th inst., confirming the report
of the discovery of a conspiracy against the Papal
Government, which was to have taken place
on the 17th, the anniversary of the amnesty.
Paid agents were, it is said, to have created
an alarm among the multitude assembled on the occa-
sion. Fifty malefactors were to have been let loose
from the prisons into the Piazza del Popolo, shortly
before the fireworks, in order to occasion confusion.
The whole was discovered on the 15th. The people
immediately demanded the suspension of the feast,
and the Pope having ordered the immediate arma-
ment of the National Guard, upwards of 2,000 of the
most respectable citizens applied to the authorities for
arms, and succeeded in maintaining public tran-
quility. Cardinal Ferretti, the new Secretary of
State, arrived at Rome on the 16th, and judged with
his own eyes of the terror and indignation prevail-
iag in the capital. The people received him with
acclamation, and in the evening there was a general
altuninstion. The first act of Cardinal Ferretti was
to dismiss and exile Monsignor Grasselini, the Co-
nnor of Rome, allowing himonly twenty-four hours to
quit the: city. M. Grasselini opposed no resistance,
and instantly set out for Naples.

The accounts from Amsterdam, of tho 24th inst.,
refacing to the condition of the markets for public
securities, state that Spanish, after having declined a
kw points, had suddenly improved, in consequence of
Apealatire purchases. The value of Deitch stock had
lewd a further depreciation.

THE PROTECTIONIST MANIFESTO.
Lord G. Bentinck has addressed the following'
elaborate manifesto to the electors of the borough of
Lag's Lynn :
GENTLEMEN,
AddiVlSitig a constituency remarkable, individually and 1
sloPectively, for fidelity to all its engagement', public and
invite, I will not offend you by excusing myself for not
ifring been one of those who violated every political prin-
*Pls, declared or implied, on which, six years ago, they
uncht end obtained the confidence of their countrymen.
On the contrary, I pride myself, that, in unison with the
later portion of the country gentlemen of England, I have
humbly "sista others abler than myself in vindicating the
adoofited and essential right of the electors under a free
mastitation and representative government to exact from
the heights of the shire or the burgesses whom they may
hats chosen to serve them in parliaraent, a faithful adherence
I) the principles and an honest fulfilment of the understand-
lea on which they were invested with legislative power.
Same there are who have made of late the convenient dis-
Mery that it is contrary to the spirit of the British consti•
ration that any recollection of the principles which carried
hat into pirliament should survive a candidate's exaltation
fiats 4 representative. But whilst good faith, honour, and
troth, the national characteristics of England, the foundation
ot once of her commercial success and prosperity, and of her
Taal strength and grandeur, revolt against this new mo-
tility, it teemed to me, that, if tamely endured, it must
losing
sap the entire virtue of our representative system,
sowing to the people nothing but the name and the shadow
if sovereign power over their own, the Commons House of
Putiament, and no safety but in further democratic changes,
la the rabritution of annual for septennial elections.
I who am content with the constitution as it stands,
'sit it my duty, under these circumstances, publicly to de-
asasee the minister who by his pernicious example too well
Eight ght a lo body of his adherents that to obtain and to
political power under false pretences was nothing worse
"..a a "Pious fraud;" and, actuated by these sentiments, I
shrink not from my full share of the responsibility of baring
a2:l, the violated faith of the representative towards the
woustuent body by the signal overthrow of dig Waiter
'to had dared to set the maple of °pray spotting with,
rd of contemptuously dime/Moe out tamps( under
Ilia the rightful authority of the autos el the United
.ledom.
however this contempt of the obligations of good
sale, evinced bthe administration of Sir Robert Peel and
the late parliament, has for a time lowered the national
, and destroyed all confidence in public men, this
easesiatio. n at least remains, amidst the wreck of public
!teractio—that British statesmen, however powerful, have
"la tallest a lesson which for half a century or more will
let be forgotten—it is, " that the people of England may
rot he trifled with, and that good faith towards them can
les•I he violated .7 ith impunity."
