ROMAN STATES.—The rumour that the Pope is
about to proceed to Loretto or Bologna does not ap-
pear well founded. The members of the diplomatic
corps accredited to the Pope have followed the holy
father to Partici, where they are mating arrangements
to stay, which would not be the case if the Pepe
thought of going to Loretto or Bologna.
A eccond journal has just made its appearance at
Rome. In addition to the Giornak di .Roma, there is
now published the Ossereatore .Romano, which is the
old Omstitsuionale.Rotnano. This new journal appears
intended to be the organ of the pure pontifical party. In
Its first numbtr, published on the 6th inst., speaking
of the president's letter, it says that no man of sense
can ply any attention to the document, which is the
mere expression of an individual's opinion. The same
journal contradicts the rumours which were in circu-
lation relative to the withdrawal of the three cardinals.
The Neapolitan troops have been recalled from the
frontier.

Yon will peweive, from the date of my letter, that I
have leisurely crossed the Roman State* from the
Tyerhene to the Adriatic See. My object has been
to visit the principal towns and cities of the central
provinces, end to examine into the opinions end feel-
ings of their inhabitants with respect to the late poli-
tical changes. Nor has it been a difficult task to de-
cide which way the sympathies of the majority in-
cline. Wherever I have been I have found convent-
tion on poll Mal topics eagerly entered into by all
classes; even monasteries and convents are not ex-
empt from the interest universally felt on such sub-
ject', and through the double iron gratings of a nun-
nery parlour I have kept up a long. confabulation with
a reverend abbess, and found a patine of sentiment
end absence of prejudice little to be expected or in-
deed hoped for in such secluded abodes.
The country swarms with groups of soldiers,
thrown out of service by the late military regulations,
who, with sticks and wallets, in lieu of muskets and
eartoechaboxes, wend their weary way over some
hundred miles of hot and duly road towards their
native villages, eucounteriag alternately at the gates
el the towns they traverse the jeers or the scowls of
French, Spanish, and Austrian sentries. From Terni
whence I dated my last, I went to Spoleto, the;
eitimo Thule of Spanish occupation to the north.
The troops there amount to between two and three
thousand men, consisting of two fine battalions of
infantry, a section of artillery, and two hundred
