THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 28, 1847.

'service of the Confederation. This was to be dis-
ttessed on the'23cd. and would no doubt be adopted.
It, is 1110111 that the deputies of the seven cantons
quitted Berne after signing the protest. The Pa-
triotic Society of Lausanne, on becoming. acquainted
with the resolution of the Diet pronouncing the dis-
solution of the Sunderbund, published a virulent
proclamation, engaging the inhabitants to enrol them-
selves as volunteers in the corps franc. The council
of state of Vaud immediately took the energetic reso-
lotion to dissolve that society, and, to attain that
object, published an ordinance which has created
great sensation in Switzerland.
The French minister at Berne, M. Bois le Comte,
conferred upon the practical joke of the editor of the
Charirari a diplomatic importance which has rendered
the affair extremely ludicrous. On the 20th ho ad-
dressed a note to the president of the executive coun-
cil of the canton of Berne, of which the following is a
literal translation:
GENTLEM ex,—l have this moment been informed that on
the day of Saturday, the 17th inst., • member of the grand
council of Berne, M. Jenni by name, has caused his dog to
be decorated with the ribbon and cross of the Legion of
Honour, and has thus promenaded him on the public walk
of Egni at the hour when that walk was most frequented. I
entreat you, gentlemen, to give me satisfaction for this act,
which I shall refrain from qualifying. Entertaining no
doubt that you will yourselves be affected at this, I leave to
you the adoption of such measures as you may think fitting
in the presentees*, whether to prosecute officially M. Jenni in
virtue of the powers which the law confers on the executive
government, or to demand of the grand council for such
means of disciplinarian repression as every assembly exercises
over its members.—Accept, gentlemen, my assurances of
high consideration.—Berne, the 20th July, 1817.
The government of Berne immediately returned
the following answer to the above note :
1. That it could not prosecute hi Jeani, seeing that the
law gave it no power to that effect.
2. That the affair in question did not concern the grand
council, inasmuch as M. Jenni was not yet sworn ILA a meta-
bee of it, and that his election was contested: besides which,
even though he were, the rules of the grand council did Rot
confer on it the power to apply disciplinarian measures to
the private conduct of its members.
3. That if M. Bois Is Com:e considered himself injured,
the tribunal* wore open to him.

MADRID, JULY 21.
The Expectador publishes a letter from Igualada,
dated 16th, which, together with the two executions
ordered by General Pavia, will show the turn which
the Montemolinist war (for war is the true name for
it) is taking. The substance of the letter is as follows;
On the night of the 14th, the Cebecilla Celetras
came with 60 followers to a house called the Juncos',
two leagues from Igualade, a little apart from the
high road. Tho people of the house not answering
his summons at the door, he and his troop got in
through the window. They shut up the inmates in a
room apart, and waited for the passing. of the mail.
But a boy, who lay
.sleeping on a threshing-floor out-
side, awaked by their noise, got op and made away to
the fort of Jorva, a league off, where he alarmed the
guard. The commander at Jorva sent to Igualada to
order out the troops, and despatched a message to
Cervera to atop the mail. The troops arrived near
the Juncoes at eight in the morning. When the
rebels were aware of their approach they fled out of
the house, but had to face a sharp fire from the
soldiers, which killed two of them. The rest got
away to the hills. The soldiers now entered the house.
They found inside five of the insurgents remaining,
who had not dared to face the galling fire pointed on
the door. These were quite boys, who had only
escaped from Igualada to join the band the day
before. The soldiers bound these lads, and led them
oat into the road, where they shot them all five in
cold blood.
The Clamor Public° suspects that some disastrous
blow for Spain is preparing in France. Why, it
says, this strange reconciliation of Narvaez with
Christina through the Duchess of Montpensier?
Why this prodigious Montpensierfae ? Why this
new French loan in times of peace of 300 millions of
francs P Why . this obstinate clinging of the French
king to his ministers, disgraced by recent revelations?
Why this grand camp at Compiegne at which
all the royal family. are to appear, and the
command of a division to be given to the
Duke of Montpensier? Why this extravagant
flattery of the Heralds about the aoreretg.n
grace of Dona Laisa Fernando? One thing is
certain—the French are trying to drive Isabel to
abdicate. They are advancing towards the Spanish
Queen, as Dr. Richardson said the Polar wolves ad-
vanced in a semicircle towards a deer that they
wanted to frighten over a precipi‘.—driving their in-
tended victim towards political suicide. The frank,
impulsive, unsuspecting temper of the Queen herself
fits her well, in the eyes of these machinvelian in-
triguers, to be their dupe. But they do not re-
flect that the generous qualities at which they
laugh are the strongest possible claims upon the
enthusiastic loyalty and affection of the Spaniards.
Nor is this personal devotion the only support of the
Queen. The liberals have the strongest conviction
that their cause is bound ap to its inmost fibres with
the maintenance of Isabel upon the throne. She is
their storm cable and sheet anchor. Isabel has re-
called their chiefs from exile, and restored them to
their rank and honours. Under Isabel, they are daily
acquiring, as a party, anion, consolidation, and power.
Tho elections for provincial deputies have been deter-
mined in their favour by overwhelming majorities in
five districts out of six in the metropolis. lion Patricio
Escosara, political chief of Madrid, has deserved well
of the public by his impartiality during these elec-
tions, which have heretofore never passed without a
tyrannous interference upon the part of the police
authorities.
On Sunday a dinner was given at the Perona, by
D. Santiago Alonso Cordero, to the progresistas
whom he knew in exile. Forty-nine of the most die-
tinguished members of the liberal party were present,
among whom may be mentioned, Rodil,Cz.z, In-
fante, Cortina, Linage, and Mendizabal. p
in turn proposed a patriotic tout; some, in the
ration of the moment, improvising their pledges in
verse. The Queen's decree of a monument to Ar-
guelles was repeatedly cheered; and all breathed de-
vout aspirations for the return of Reverter°. The
banquet broke up at 11, with enthusiastic shouts of
•• Viva la Reina. _ _

The ecclesiastical court, called the Rota de la Nan-
ciatura, which was dissolved after the interruption of
friendly relations with Rome, has been re-organised.
General Pinson left Madrid on Monday, charged
with despatches for General Concha. It ie said that
he is enjoined therein to put half his troops imme-
diately on march for the theatre of the Mentemolinist
war. General Blasser has been sent to Maestrargo
to prevent, if possible, the rising apprehended there.

IMPORTANT.—CONSPIRACY AT ROME.
ROME, Jul.? 18.
I try to keep myself cool, but cannot avoid being
somewhat bewildered by the doings of the last few
days. The narrative shall be as calm as the subject
will admit of.
Father Ventura's funeral oration on the defunct
agitator was at the bottom of the affair. For two
successive (dog) days did the eloquent enthusiast
spirit up an auditory of 1.5,000 Romans to the com-
prehension of their power and the knowledge of their
position in the eyes of Europe. The old rostrum of
republican times never gave utterance to such stirring
appeals; and the thermometer of popular self-reliance
rose to its height. A printed report of the bipartite
harangue was of course prepared for publication,
when Count Lutsow, whose energy seemed to grow
with antagonistic strength strained every nerve, and
obtained from Oizzi and drazzelini the suppression of
the speech, and a temporary triumph.
A lull ensued for a week. All seemed quiet, and
even insipid. The "Eternal City"appeared to have re-
signed itself to a long summer siesta, and everything
was in keeping with the lovely serenity of the WOW,
ther. The unemployed part of the population had
gone tbrth to the harvest work, and the townspeople
flocked to the suburban gardens. The lively tam-
bourine, in anticipation of the October vintage, belisa
to make itself heard under the trellis of the neigh-
bouring vineyards, and many a men/ group of them
in whom it were " folly to be wise might be mast
the young men with jacket on shoulder, and rose 16'1
hat, under the luxuriant shade of the pergola, gaging
the sun to rest, or tripping it with the maidens in
their kirtle short and their silver bodkins, keeping
time to the crispy music of the mandolin.
But Linden saw another Witt
Wbeu the drum beat at dud of night.
One of the most fiendish plots ever concocted against
an unsuspecting population came to light four days ago.
Emboldened by his success in obtaining from our
Governor Orazzelini the suppression of Ventura's
oratory, the Austrian ambassador was traced to the
head-quarters of the Jesuit order ; and on last Sunday
sermons were preached from the pulpit of the Gesa,
sneering at the funeral oration and disparaging the

orator and his topic. (I gesuiti ardirano Domenico
worsts at venture come rape it puynolo contra questo
kone : prediearorw centre l'eloyso ma copertamentc
secondoripocrito stile.) The other pulpits took up the
matter at vespers ; Mazzani in the Sapienza, the rec-
tos of St. Mark and the Magdalen, Abbe Fabtam,
Father Boerio, Abbe Romanim, blew the trumpet of
denunciation against the counterblast of the Jesuits.
Bach was tie posture of affairs last Sunday evening,
and &'week pregnant with the fate of Rome was
tethered in on Monday. The Bailee came out a per-
fect blank sheet, telling its own tale of what the
censorship had done for it. Something was brewing
which could not bear publicity. A citizen had been
robbed, and on going to Governor Gmzzelini for re-
dress, the Sicilian said. Eh,gioia Mla (my jewel), why
conic to met hare you trot Cicero ilhakto and his
people 1 This flew like wildfire about town, and
Grazzelini became an object of popular suspicion. I
could hardly believe him a traitor to freedom, know-
ing that in early life he had learned in the school of
Lord William Bentinck, when he gave a constitution
to Sicily in 1811. It is now known that he WM deep
in the plot, and a more heinous one has not been con-
cocted since Guy Fawkes, or the Sicilian vespers.
It appears that the approaching anniversary of the
great act of amnesty on the 17th (yesterday) had
been selected for a decisive blow against the Pope
and his policy by the combined malcontents and
malignants. 300 ruffians had been cautiously hired
and embodied : they consisted of discharged police
spies, whose occupation under Gregory had been
lucrative and thriving, bat was uow gone ; corrupt
underlings of various public offices, who feared their
turn would come next ; and attaches of the Austrian
legation in various departments of foul work.
To these were added certain fanatics, called
Papalini, who acted from religious frenzy, and
consider the Popo as an enemy to catholicity,
and several commissioned officers and subalterns in the
corps of Cambineers, who looked with distrust on the
new National Guard, and were determined to show
cause for not being themselves disbanded. These
men were not Romans, but mostly from the marshes
of Ancona and Umbria. The plan was to create con-
fusion on the evening of the testa, during the torch-
lighta and fireworks ; to occupy by the disaffected por-
tion of the regiments the three great streets that dis-
embogue into the Piazza del Popolo ; on a given
signal, under pretence of aggressive movements
among the people, to make a general onslaught, a
sort of Peterloo. The fugitives were to be met
in the back streets by bloodhounds, armed
with stilettos, upwards of one thousand of which cow-
ardly weapons were subsequently seized in the pos-
session of the ringh aders ; and finally, the general
result was to be ascribed to the saturnalia of a people
not ripe for freedom, on whom the Pope had foolishly
lavished the gift of liberty. A reaction in the whole
framework of government was looked for as the ne-
cessary consequence, and the conspirators considered
such an object cheaply purchased at the price of po-
pular bloodshed.
One element of confusion, rife hero just now, they
much calculated on. There is an internecine war de-
clared between the hackney coachmen of the town
and those of the country. These belligerents have
begun tilting at each other with their carriage poles.
Jousting of this kind is quite common of late, and is
as destructive in its way as were the chariots, armed
with scythes, of King Sennacherib.
It can scarcely be believed that such a revolting
scheme could be entertained by the minister of
Austria, had not the Tarnow massacres in Galicia
given us a warrant for the measure of Metternich's
policy ; and no one here doubts of the connivance and
privacy of Count Lutzow in the whole affair. That
crafty and unscrupulous tool of Austria, Lambrus-
chini, who has all the daring, without the wit and
reckless joviality, of Cardinal de Ritz (him who
wielded the frende), had every knowledge of the
plot, and, if captured, bids fair to decorate with his
head the spikes on Castle St. Angelo.
It was clear that where a gang of traitors asso-
ciate, somebody would play the Iscariot or the
'leathern. Somehow or other the plan became known at
the club of the circolo Romano. Late on Tuesday
night Prince Salviati (you know he is the youngest
brother of Borghese), at the head of a deputation
from the club, claimed admittance to the Pope's
chamber on the Quirinal, and presented Pius with a
hastily-drawn-up statement of the contemplated coup :
the evidence which they adduced, and the details
they were in possession of, left no doubt on the Pon-
tiff's mind of the urgency of the crisis. He slept sot
that night ; orders were given for the immediate
arrest of the ringleaders ; summonses were issued to
various men of rank and influence to rally round the
person of the sovereign ; proclamations were prepared
and issued at daybreak, calling on the citizens
to arm at once, each man at the district guard-
house to which his battalion belonged; muskets
were quickly brought out of the arsenal of
St. Angelo for distribution among tho people. Eager,
and burning with indignant loyalty, the workmen
and citizens grouped themselves round the residence
of the captain in each of the 14 regions into which
the city is divided. The whole day was one of watch
and ward. There was no time to think of aniflrms ;
each man in his working dress, or every-day costume,
has been provided with two belts, to one of which is
attached a cartouche-box containing 24 ball cartridges,
to the other a sabre : on his shoulder he carries a
&deck with bayonet ; and this new improvised
soldiery looks as if it really could and would fight fur
Pius against any and every aggressor. Numbers
implicated in the conspiracy have been arrested, and
are guarded by the people from the fury of the mob.
Lambruschini, meantime, is understood to be lurk-
ing at Civita Vecchia, ready to fly on failure of the
plot. The following placard is visible in every con-
spicuous locality:—

Of these worthies, San Georgi is taken captive, as
also Capt. Mossinelli. Col. Freddi hu escaped,
which is the more to be regretted, as he was the
rightehand man of Governor Orazzelini, and might be
supposed to throw light on the whole affair. The

In the midst of the tumult the carriage of Cardinal
Gabriel Ferretti, the new Secretary of State, entered
the Porta del Popolo, and while the coloasalstatue of
his illustrious cousin was being erected in the square,
the horses were taken from his vehicle, and ho was
drawn in triumph to the residence of the vacant
functionary. Gizzi has the goat, and it is high time
to give way to an efficient and honest man. I muss
tell you that the great amnesty, projected for the
17th (Saturday) had been adjourned to Sunday (to-
day), by an order of Pius, dated last week ; and the
pontiff's motive for this change was to enable the
artisans to work at their usual callings on the week-
day, and celebrate the amnesty in a christian jubilee
on the Lord's-day, not agreeing with your English
pharisees that Sunday was desecrated by such a
solemnity; for he now:.ys r,c,ignises the Jewish sab-
bath ordinance as applicable to the christian festival.
Things, however, turned out as I have recorded.
The Sunday has come, but with no other celebration
than the hearty thanksgiving of the people for the
peril they have escaped. Future correspondence will
put you in possession of the real facts of the case, and
to whom the whole scheme is attributable. I honestly
hope the order of Jesuits will not be found engaged
in so nefarious a business. Yet a caricature has been
traced to the authorship of Padre Marchi, represent-
ing a national guard of the new institution of Rome,
holding on his bayonet a set of priests, enfiladed alter
the fashion of a set of larks on a spit ; and certainly
this was a most indecorous and injudicious exercise of
the padre's wit.
