The evrit Ile corm ought perhaps to induce us to
conceal the tricks of the newspaper trade; hut the case of
the C'onstitutionnel of Sunday is an irresistible temptation.
It seems that the Const itutionnel had procured a list of the
Ministers appointed by Don Penao, and published them
as those finally appointul by the Itegcnt Donna ISABELLA
MARIA. he Eloile was alarmed at the early intelligence
of the Constitutionnel, and drew many portentous conclu-
sions from it. As often happens, the whole resolves itself
into a mere ruse in the trade of newspaper-making, and
the calculations of the Eloile arc thus completely df:jout's.
The following are extracts:—

We have the following news in a letter from Rome :

" On the 23d July, his Eminence Cardinal River°ll, Legate of
Ravenna, coming at half-past eleven at night from the Palace
Rasponi, got into his carriage with a Canon attached to his service,
when a pistol loaded with rifle balls was tired, and wounded the
Canon at the same time in the cheek and the breast, so that he
immediately fell. The shot was tu: int fir toe Cardinal, who
mated, as it were, by miracle, haring, contrary to his custom,
taken the left hand in the carriage. It is said that the assassin
belongs to the secret soci:ties. This affair makes a great noise. The
C.lrdival showed great firmness on this occasion. The Canon is
not in danger."—Unir /sr.: Ga::effr ef Lywid.
