ROME.

A letter from Rome, in the Uneven, states that
the city was thrown into great excitement on the
29th ult., by the apartments of Signor Alcssandroni,
ono of the superior officials of the Secretariat of
State, being broken open by the police, and minutely
searched. As Signor Alessandroni inhabited some
rooms in the palace of the Quirinal, the police could
not have ventured upon such an act without a spe-
cial permission from the Pope himself. All this
seemed to indicate that suspicions of a very serious
nature rested upon Signor Alessandroni, who was in
the country at the time; and public rumour adds
that the discoveries made by the police among his
papers were so important, as to induce the govern-
ment to send off the French packet two days sooner.
The same correspondent states that an attempt at as-
sassination was committed on the 28th upon Count
Dandini, an assessor of the Direction of the Police ;
but that the stiletto struck the hip-bone, and thus
caused but a slight wound.

next week. The invaders of Cuba, under Lopez,
landed within forty miles of Havana, suppoNing no
doubt that the troops were withdrawn front that
part of the island. A bloody battle has been fought,
the absolute result of which we do not know. One
thing, however, we do know—that a party of fifty
Americans, who had taken to boats either to escape,
or to operate with the other portion of the invaders,
has been captured, taken to Havana, and there shot.
Of course these personsknew the fate they had to meet.
' The manner in which they met their 'death was in
the most heroic style ; they never uttered a murmur
or a groan, and the brutality with which their re-
mains were treated has raised a spirit in this country
which will but too unfortunately fur the peace oT
nations never be appeased till Cuba becomes inde-
pendent. In the eastern part of the island the re-
volt is far from being quelled. But I can only at
this moment give you extracts from the letters which
were brought this morning by the Cherokee, with
dates from Ilavana to the 17th inst. You will
notice that three shots were fired by a Spanish
steamer upon the United States steamer Falcon, and
that when the latter lay to, the officers of the Spanish
vessel cheered in honour of the exploit. There will
be trouble about this affair, unless the Spanish
authorities apologive amply. The following is the
news brought by the Cherokee from Havana :
After the landing of General Lopez and his party,
near Bahia Honda, fighting with the Spanish troops
commenced; and a frightful slaughter took place.
The main body of the patriots, or invaders, were
driven to the mountains, and the remainder took to
boats and put to sea. These men were captured off
Bahia Honda, forty miles west of Havana, by the
steamer Habanero. 'tho patriots were in four boats,
unarmed, and, report says, were steering for New
Orleans. They were brought to Havana by the
Habanero, on Saturday morning, the 16th 1n a, at
1 a.m., and placed on bowl' a Spanish frigate, lying
in port, and executed at 11.5 a.m. of the same morn-
ing. After they were shot, they were dragged by
the feet, by negroes, and then left to the mob, who
commenced stripping them of their clothes and car-
rying them on sticks through the streets, yelling
like so many wild demons.
Annexed is a list of the names of those men who
were shot on the public road, in Havana. It is esti-
mated that there were '20,000 spectators :

This list embraces forty-nine; there were fifty-
two shot.
Many of the Cherokee's passengers, who were on
the spot of the execution, were pointed at with a
sneer of contempt, and many stopped in the streets
and insulted—culled Americans, and that they were
ono and all of the same party, that one of these
days they would be served in the same way. It was
dangerous for an American to be in the streets alone
at night.
The Falcon steamship, while on her way up tho
coast of Cuba from Chtigres, was fired at three times
by the war steamer Habanero' and was obliged to
heave to, and was boarded by the officers of the
Habanero. After the Falcon stopped, the officers of
the Habanero cheered, as if they had gained a glo-
: rious victory. This is the third time the Falcon has
been served the same trick.
The following is the report of a passenger on
board the mail steamship Falcon :

It is well known that in the Lombardo-Venctian
kingdom the Austrian paper money is at such a dis-
count that no payment in them will be taken.
Even at the Custom-house frontiers of Au-

strian Italy no goods arc allowed to pass
unless the duty is paid in hard cash. At the other
frontiers of the empire payments for customs arc
taken in paper money. The consequence has been
that a sort of smuggling has been carried on by Lom-
bardo-Venetian merchants, who found a profit in
bringing round foreign merchandise through Austro-
German frontiers, and thus paying in notes instead
of cash. The Lombardo-Venetian authorities have,
therefore, decided that the custom-houses on the
coast and those of Tyrol and Vorarlberg shall cease
to levy duties on merchandise destined to the Austro-
Italian states, a consumption duty in cash being
levied instead on the arrival of the merchandise at
its destination.

[Translated from the (Meeks Eztraordisaria, August 16.]
The excellent Senor Captain-General has received from
the excellent General a communication, written at Cere-
htto at 11 o'clock on the morning of the 15th instant, in
which be says that the pirates had it in contemplation to
direct themselves towards Cabanas or El Muriel, with the
intention of re•embarking, on account of the dismay and
the dispersions in which they found themselves after
the actions of the 13th, and dispirited by the junction of
the treops in that district. To save time, I send a comma-
nitetion to the general commander of the marine, in order
to prevent, with his naval forces, the re-embarkation of the
pirates, fur in a few days I am sure to exterminate them.
The Captain General Governor has also received, from
the Lieutenant Governor of Bahia Honda a communication,
w emelt yesterday morning at six o'clock, stating that be
was informed by a peasant that the pirates, pursued by our
columns in the puddles of San Miguel, hdabandoned theirs
p,eition, and ran into the mountains in the direction of
hahia-llonda and San Diego de Nunez, where the inhabi-
tants, animated with the best spirit, were ready to repulse
them.
By a communication of the Lieutenant Governor of Ma-
rie' en Cabanas, dated the same as the preceding, he states:
" We were acquainted with the movements of the pirates
who were routed. Orders were given to the soldiers and
commanders of the jurisdiction, to move with all their dis-
posable men to prevent the re-embarkation of the pirates,
and at half-past twelve o'clock all the busts were destroyed
and sank near the battery."
The captain of infantry and commander of the troop of
Gmuiajay has also sent a communication, of the same tiny,
dated algal-past five o'clock in the evening, in which he
lays, that se-cording to the orders received from the Lieut.-

WEST INDIES

By a recent arrival at New York we have dates
from Jamaica to the 12 th of August. A letter re-
ceived at the New fork Express office states :
Our island affairs, which usually present so few features
of interest for strangers' are just now more than ordinarily
barren of importance. The lot of August, the 13th anni-
versary of the day of universal and unrestricted freedom to
the sable subjects of her Britaanic Majesty, has here (in
Jamaica) passed off without the occurrence of any circum-
stance commemorative of the great event. Feasting and
merrymaking there was none—a little praying and psalm-
singing among the elder of the late slave population was
all that served to distinguish the day from any other from
Monday to Saturday. In fart, the greater number of re-
cipients of the great boon stem willing to forget that
slavery ever; existed in the colony—that they were
ever otherwise than they arc—the most independent race
of beings, I believe, on the face of the earth.
The trial of the persons implicated in the murder of a
Mr. bPLean, at Essington, St. David's, on the occasion
of an election for a member of Assembly to represent that
parish, Las resulted in the acquittal of all the parties save
two, who were convicted of manslaughter, and sentenced to
three years imprisonment in the Penitentiary. Mr. Robert
Jordon, a brother of Mr. Edward Jordon (representative
of this city in the popular branch of the legislature, and
member elect of the Honourable Board of Council), was
among the numbers indicted and acquitted. The same par-
ties were subsequently placed on trial for riot and assault,
arising out of the circumstance which led to the murder
of Mr. M'Lean. Some ten of them, including Jordon,
were fully convicted and sentenced to eighteen months' im-
prisonment in the county jail. These trials occasioned a
great deal of excitement here ; and their results arc likely
to be productive of very beneficial effects in the lower order
who are but too easily incited by the unprincipled eke-
tioneering partisans and rabid demagogues who
,infest so•
ciety, to commit seta of the most;barbarous and atrocious
character. _ _

The sugar sad coffee crops have been nearly all gathered
in sad exported. Our pimento crop is rather late, bat
premises to be more than usually abundant. The re-
turns of the value of this year's exports have not yet bees
published, but I am inclined to believe that they will to a
considerable extent disappoint the expectations of the
planters. In the pariah of St. James, which is, with one
exception, the Logan sugar district in the island, the
value of the exports hem the lst January last to the Ist
August, instant, les* esseeded 150,0001. ; compared with
the exports of previous yaws extending to perhaps as late as
1819, this 'absinth ruinously unimportant.
The ravage, al cholera, and the consequent search, et
labour, may be anigaed as the principal cause of this
abentabis deslas in the value of our exports; which cis,
sanstanees ass the more to be regretted, as they exercise
a preopeethe hams* on our agricultural affairs. Oa
away enstee, lan aware that little or no preparation has
his. mils for the laming crop—labour has been so di9l4
milt of ansishient—aad -thus all the advantages which,

under better circumstances, would have le.enderi;edista
the favourable seasons will to a great extent be lost.
It may be interesting to some of, our readers to learn that
the " rotten movement" is progressing steadily, though =-
ostentatiously. One of our late homeward bound ships took
away 28 bales of Jamaica cotton.
Some eases of smallpox have made their appearance in
the parish of Trelawny, and had occasioned a great deal of
apprehension, the more especially as cholera has not entirely
quitted our shores. The co-existence in our island of these
two fearful scourges of the human race would, I fear, tend
to annihilate the little spirit and energy which we have
left among us ; at all events, any further reduction—l
mean, of course, to the extent produced by the cholera—
would altogether prostrate the planting interest.

NEW GRANADA.

We have this miirninidiTe;&iii Carthagena to
the 24th July. Another revolution has broken out
in Antiochu and Popayan, two of the richest of the
New Grenadian provinces, headed by General
Barrer°, with a force of 1,000 men. The attempt
to overthrow the government, it is thought, will
succeed, as the people are worn out with the op-
pression under which they labour.
