NerPLIA, lax. 17.
Padre Prom has been silenced. He had &a-
pogean, as yea know, his intestine( ontineing his
eeriness ea the Papacy, bat flemday miondec came,
an immense congress, inn assembled to hear him, the
door of the env opened, and, not Padre Prouo, but
another Padre appeared, to the great disappointment
of many hundred expectant eyes. It was a pleasant
change, however, to hear an admirable practical ear-
mon. which might have been preached in any pulpit,
and with great advantage to any congregation. I
could not help wishing that but one-tenth part of the
noisome of the presence could be caught by the
clergy of the English church. The event which I
now announce rod been anticipated, in fact, for seve-
ral days, as it was reported in the middle of last
weak that Barn Brener bad complained to Signor
Carafe, minister for tongs affairs, of the violence of
the clergy generally.
Yesterday, being the King's birthday, there was •
" baciamano," which was attended by the diplomatic
body and all the officials of the government. Filan-
'art wee not there. He bad been engaged in some
public affairs on the day before, and had taken cord,
poor man ; possibly he thought that the atmosphere
of the court would chill him. In the evening the
public offices were illuminated, and beads ware
placed in different parts of the city to anon the
rabble. Indeed. outwardly, them was every demos-
stration of rejoicing, and no ens would have dreamt
that, whilst the cannon were firing away in hamar
of the royal birthday, the police were actively ea-
gaged is picking op tricoloured papers from the
streets. I am told that during the preceding
night the squares of the city and the streets
leading into it vete covered with these
paper". Not many days have passed sines similar
obieets were found beton the Royal palace. Puerile
as such demonstratMos may appear to be, they are I
yet the only means left to the people of showing
what their feeling is, and of keeping up a kind of
public spirit; and though some may laugh at such a
hied of war against the goneement, the disposition
which it indieates by no names ISNlritll contempt. Let
there be any disturbing* in the frontier, and those
who are now so timid in this country that they do not
dare to engage in anything but puerilitiee will rise
and sweep away every obstacle to their wines. I
am sorry to report that within the last two or three
days two police spies have been assassinated : one
wee found dead in the street, the other was Crook
mortally in the Strada Mercanti, and died
yesterday morning, at the Hospital of Pellegrisi.

mere attempts to raise his price in the market.
Again, I am armed that the King, so far from
doing anything, is determined to follow oat the
policy of Ms father, and to stand upon his principles,
which are to maintain the divine rights of sovereigns,
and to retie& all meter claims.
