His Holiness Pope Plus IX. was received by the
Neapolitans with acclamations and all military honours,
the vessels and forts firing royal salutes, the flags
flying, the bells ringing. At night, on the 4th, there
was a general illumination and a discharge of fireworks.

Holy Father and his august attendants passed on,
amidst salvos of artillery, to Portici.
In the Milan Gazette of the 6th inst. is announced
the sudden death, on that very morning, of the vene-
rable chief priest of the metropolitan church of that
city, the Count OYIZZONI. He died as he was pro-
ceeding in his vestments to the altar of the B. V.,
where he was about to say mass. Count Orrisorti
was one of the most distinguished among the ecclesi-
astics of Lombardy.
The following details respecting the arrival of the
Sovereign PONTIFF in the Bay of Naples on the 4th
inst. will be found interesting; they are extracted
from a private letter :
" The Pope arrived here this afternoon at four o'clock.
The squadron which accompanied him was composed of
a Neapolitan frigate, on board of which was his Holi-
ness, a Spanish frigate bearing an Admiral's flag, and
the Vauban French steamer. These vessels were fol-
lowed by other Neapolitan steam frigates and a second
Spanish frigate. These vessels, on entering the gulf,
after having rounded Cape Mesino, did not immediately
steer for Portici ; but they went round the bay and the
quays of the city, as far as the entrance of the port for
merchant vessels, doubtless for the purpose of allowing
his Holiness to enjoy the magnificent coup d'ceil of the
city. During the whole evening the roads re-echoed
with the salutes fired from the vessels, and the fireworks
let off on the shore by the people, who never miss an
opportunity, were it even the fete of the humblest Ma-
done, to fire off rockets and illuminate their houses
from top to bottom. The French ships Ariel and Tan-
erode were dressed out with flags."
It is expected that the Legislative Chambers of
Tuscany will be re-opened in November.
Accounts from Rome of the sth mention a decided
difference of opinion to have arisen between the three
Cardinal Commissioners. ALFIERA and DELLA
GENGA. are opposed in policy to VANNICELLI. DELLA
GENGA threatens to retire to Albano. The result of
this difference is expected to be the nomination of a
single Pontifical Commissioner (ALTnitz or Mes-
spro), assisted by two councillors, Colusom Buss'
and MORICHINI. France has declared herself in
favour of the Statute; Austria for the Statute with.
out secularisation ; and Spain and Naples for the
Governmental Council.

Before his departure from Gaeta, the scene of so
many months exile, the Supreme PONTIFF revived in
all its pomp one of the most ancient ceremonies of the
Catholic Church—the presentation of the golden rose,
the Rosa d'Ore.

The Latin oration, with which the Holy FATHER
handed this superb jewel to the Queen of NAPLES,
was as follows :

"Accipe rosam de manibus nostria, quam, ex speciali
commissions in Christ() Patric et Domini nostri Pii
Divine providentia Papa Noni nobis facta, tibi tradimus,
per quam designatur gaudium utriusque Hierusalem,
keilicet triumphantis ct militantis Ecclesim, per quam
omnibus Christi fidelibus manifestatur fios ills speciosis-
simus, qui est gaudium et corona Sanctorum omnium.
" Suscipiat Majestas tua, qua) secundum seculum
nobilis, patens et multa virtute prsedita es, ut amplins
multa virtute a Christo Domino nobilitei ie, tamquam
rose plantata super rivos aquarum multarum, quern
gratiam ex sus infinita dementia tibi conceders dignetur,
qui eat Trinus et Unus in secula seculorum. Amen."

In the course of the day the POPE gave a parting
benediction, as well as substantial marks of bis bounty
