The new Roman Cabinet was composed as follows;
—Cardinal Antonelli, President and Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs ; M. Gaetano Recchi, Minister of the
Interior ; M. Sturbinetti, of Justice; Moasignor Mori-
chini, of Finace ; M. Marco Minghetti, of Public
Works ; Prince Aldobrandini, of War ; M. Galetti,
of Police ; Cardinal Alezzofanti, of Public Instruction;
and Count Pasolini, of Commerce.
The committee to ;prepare a constitution will in a
few days have finished their labours. The address of
the Roman senate to his Holiness, and the reply, are
as follows :
MOST HOLT FATHER—The wisdom which guide& you
labours and breathes in your word' was for us such ft
guarantee of the accomplishment of the reform begun by
you, that it seemed ungrateful to attempt to hasten its exit-
cution. But the heart of your Holiness, which from the
first day of its rule has always anticipated our wishes by
concessions, expects probably to hear us suldress you. Ss,
then before you, most holy father, that Rome, which for
many owe s has, under the apostolic protection, men mend
of intestinal commotion, and devastations of beds-
rians. To-day, stimulated:by her wants, and emboldened
by your concessions, she prays that her government
may hereafter be constituted according to the repre-
eentative form, and retain its civilisation, not only
during your life, but as long as your name and
glory endure. Yon have by an unheard-of example
bound the links of friendship between princes and their tab
jects, you have invited them to moderate their government.
The Italian ;princes have listened to you, and you have at
once put en end to tyranny and sedition. Deign to confirm
and strengthen what you have begun. The pontifical power
is not confined to the states you govern, but all the faithful
of the world are devoted to you, and are your children. No
one dare oppose what the church wishes, what Peter has
blessed; the eclorns of liberty can no more distrust the
church, and the faithful will not fear liberty. This wish is
not in disaocordance with the obedience we have sworn,
with the apostolic faith we maintain and love. But in oar
hearts there exists en inextinguishable desire to see you
adored as the author of happiness, as the founder
of the peace of Italy. The Roman people teak
entirely to you. Oa you depends that the Italiaa
nations unite promptly to maintain and defend the
interior security, the national dignity ; and, if in some cities
the limits of right have not bran rigorously observed, we are
not only faithful to the authority, but guardians and defend.
ell of the person of a father, in whore justice and love as
place the order, tranquillity, safety, and honour of the country,
To which his Holiness replied :
The events which—l will not say succeed, but precipitate
themselves, sufficiently justify the demand you make. You
all know, that for a lung time I have laboured indefatigably
to give my people that form of government best suited to
present exigencies. You all know the great difficulties
he meets who combines two elevated dignities—that
which a secular prince can do in a single night cannot by
the pontifical government be done without grave reflection,
for it is difficult to distinguish the boundary line of the
several powers. HOWO Li', I hope in a few days I shall be
able to announce that I have accomplished this work, sod
the result will, I hope, satisfy your highnesses, the com-
mune of Rome, and all other reflecting persons.
A letter from Milan, of the 14th, states that the
viceroy having endeavoured to raise a loan of one
million livres (860,000 f.) received several refusals;
but at length M. Ponti consented to advance it on a
mortgage of his villa of the Lake of Como, and on
his private estates in the province of Treviso.

REPORTED FLIGIIT OF THE
KING OF PRUSSIA.

We last evening published a Telegraphic
from Paris, which had appeared in a Seconcl)eETittticlt
oa
of the Daily News, announcing the reported flight al
the King of Prussia from Berlin ; and we gave the
following, from our Paris Correspondent. in a later
edition:
I learn that the Provisional Government has re-
ceived a telegraphic despatch to the effect that the pep•
lation of Berlin, after having attempted in vain to oh-
tame concessions from the King, broke out in revolt,
and in the conflict which ensued with the troops were
successful. The King fled to Spandau, and theme,
as was supposed, to Vienna.
The same intelligence appeared in a third edition
of the Times, dated half-past 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. It is as follows;
The following telegraphic despatch was received in Pita
on Monday :
" METZ, Mnacn 20, 10 o'CLoca, a.m.
"THE COMMISSARY OP THE
IN GOVERNMENT TO TIE
MINISTER OP THE TERIOR.
"Intelligence reached Mayence the day before yesterday,
that the people of Berlin, after vainly demanding from Ms
King the grant of a constitution, h attacked and one.
powered the troops of the ad
garrison. The King at tint
sought refuge in the fortress of Spandau, six miles from
Berlin, and afterwards fled in the direction of Vienna. 503
men were killed, and a greater number wounded. This in-
telligence was brought to Mete by the guard of the Bavaria
stage-coach."
The Journal des DAnts to-day throws doubts a
the correctness of this news, which confessedly rate
on the authority of the conductors of the Bavaria

diligence'.
The Gazette de Cologne of the 19th, publishes a
telegraphic despatch from Berlin of the 17th March,
which would appear, it says, to be later than the
news could be brought by the conductors of the
Bavarian mails to the French frontier (the 18th). The
despatch states that the townspeople had quieted the
mob, and there was no indication of fresh disorders.
According to letters from Berlin of the 16th March,
certain of the citizens attempted to calm the populace
on the 15th, but finding they were ill received they
were obliged to leave the affair in the hands of the
military. The men composing the mob demanded,
some of them work, and others the formation of
ministry of labour. The demonstration appeared to
the writer rather social than political.
Under the date of Vienna, the 14th, the Gazette tiO
Spener says:
The Princess of Metternich is gone with her husband.
The prince has defended his political system to the last point.
The states could not deliberate because the cries of " Dort,
with Metternich" drowned the voices of the mean. About
nine o'clock at night the deputation of the states having gone
to the Emperor to request him to dismiss M. Metternich,
the prince went out boldly, saying, " 1 h►re tendered ay
resignation to his Majesty." The deputation replied, " "
thank you, you have saved the country."
News from Prague and Graetz announce poplin'

mu cements.
It is generally understood that the meeting of the
general congress, originally determined upon for the
21th, will be held on the 4th of April.
The intelligence from Vienna received at Hamburg
was to the 16th. A provisional council has been a?
pointed, composed of the following popular members:
—The Baron Stifel, Baron Doppel, of Stamen, Meyer
and Roberto. Count d'Appony has resigned hisoffmt
of Court Chancellor of Hungary.
Letters from St. Petersburgh, to March 11, say that
the Emperor had given instructions to the minister as
war to place the troops on a war footing, his bis•
perial Majesty. feeling bound to adopt this step bythe
terms of existing treaties with other powers, and, in
the event of a necessity arising, for affording all the
protection in his power to the claims of legiiiinerf
against the destructive advance of revolutionists and
anarchist&
Letters from Buchan (Grand Duchy of Baden) ay
that on the Bth inst. a band of about 200 peasants,
after having destroyed the fine domain of Marten-
hohe, and destroyed and burnt the house of the
receiver of I'rince Linange, in the bailliage of Boz-
berg, arrived in that town in the morning, set fire to
all the papers belonging to the prince, p.illaged his
residence, and then went to Ernsthal in order to
' commit there similar excesses. As it was well known
this band was coming it would have been easy W
, have prevented such depredations, if the haul end
bourgeoisie had displayed more energy.
A letter from Stuttgard, of March 16, says that at
the opening of the sitting of that day of the chamber
of deputies, M. Duverney, minister, presented the
project of law relative to the civic guard. The
chamber named a committee charged to examine it.
Accounts from Solingen, in Prussia, of the 16th,
state that on that mornings band of operatives went
to Wehrtof, near Hammers bar and Kratz, and ask
stroyed the foundry ; they then went to Binkenbq,
where there is also • foundry, to destroy it- r4°
robbery was committed, the operatives imagining
that after destroying the foundries they would more
easily find employment. A guard of townspeoPle
was organised.
