Pants, Nev. 29.—The general table of pensions distal/v.
ted among the Members of the Chamber of Deputies con-
tains 196,105 pensioners, and the total amount of the pen-
sions is 63,595,003 francs, conformably with the arrangement
made on the list Sept. 1817. The amount of the pensions on
Ate in of January last (1817) was only 22,268,362 francs.
The present augmentation is not a charge apon the Treasury.
It arises from military perrlions previously paid upon the -
credit of ithe 'Minister at War, ender the title of half pay,
and the inscription of which at the Treasury has been d►
reciA by the law of Vic 25th Match, 1817.
The pensioners comprised in the table are ell tn-sfe
isting the Ist of September, 1817, upon the list of pensions
of the Royal Treasury: those whirl' shall be ulteriorly in"
scribed will be drawn out in a like state, as is provided and
directed by article 34 of the law of tle.: 25th of March, 1017.
The number and amount of each ours of pensions is di.
vided as follows :
Persons, Francs. ••
Civil Pensions 7,7n1 2.294.61/e
Military sad Widows 132.915 49,540,484

196,395 63,3.59,13
These sinus are comprised in those that ere ;panted by
the law of the Budget of the year vsl7, and which cannot Its
exceeded.
There still remains for the Civil Pensions a disposable suns
. .

of 705,318 fr. to meet the fund of three millions which is
appointed for them by law, and in which will be inscribed
the pensions of the different departments of the Ministry.
Fur the military petisions they must retrench from the
3.Q21,b53 fr. remaiiiing from the credit of 51,762,317 fr. the
Slllll. of 1,577,899 fr. which his Excellency tisc Minister of
War thinks ought to be employed for the pay of provisional
retiring pensions. There is in consequence a latitude of
1,/i43,951 fr. for the military pensions to be ultimately in.
scribed.
The amongst of the eelesiastial pensions now inscribed is far
below the credit for 15 millions. granted fur tiny class of pen-
sions by the Budget of let?. They are susceptibie only of
diminution; the produce of the extinguished pensions I*
surpassing what remains to be liquidated.

ITA.L t 7.
Roams, Nov. S.—Lucien Buonaparte and his family rr
turned to Hume suddenly this morning from litsifinylla, hu
C1)11110) wail, near Frestati. The following was the occasion
ut this in/expected movement :—Yesterday afternoon, about
4 o'clock, Monseigitor Calico, auditor ut Roma, a counexion
of the Itriunaparte family, who was on a visit to Lucien at
Rtifiticila, took a walk in the direction of Tusculmn, to in-
spect the excavatious going on tittle, when ou a sudden ha
was seized, attacked, and wounded by several ruffians.
They consulted among themselves whether they should put-
him to death, or carry him utf, but in the mean time they
kept hint in custody. At half an hour after sun set, when
Lucien's family were about to sit down to dinner, Mote.
seiguor Cunro was missing, and see vents with lighted torches
were sent in search of him. They went lowa' ds Tuscnlum,
and called loudly his name. In the meantime the robbers
rushed towards the house, and seized Lucien's secretary, M.
Chatillion, together with two servants (mistaking probably
the secretary fur the inasteo, and carried him off. Von-
seignor Cuneo had the good fortune to make his escape
during the tumult. A report has spread this morning, tmst
the noted robber Barbone, of Velletri, perpetrated Inn vio-
lence with 21 of his banditti; but front the declarations of
sonic of Lucien's people, there were only six men engaged
in it, who were dressed in the garb ut' boors, without shoes,
and wearing a species of sandal tied on their het, (called
cioceied like the poorest of the people. The Papal Go-
vernment may congratulate itself that Lucien escaped.
To what a 111:1-11 of suspicious, and to what a misiMer of con-
jectures of a political kind, would not such an act of biolenee
have given occasion among the tried or the half in-
formed, in the interval between his 411•Cial •e'arutce Mild his re,
cuvery. We have just been intOrlityil that the timbers,
having ascertained their mistake of the person, sent word
that they are willing to liberate their prisoners fur a ransua
of 3 trOu Roman dollars.
