The subjoined extract from a letter written at
Rome will be perused with interest :
" We are in statu quo in Rome; iniquity after iniquity
is perpetrated. The other evening they sang a 6 Mise-
rere' through the streets, carrying the cardinals' hats,
&c., in procession, and then threw them friin the Ponte
Sesto into the Tiber, saying—. Addio al Papa, addio ai
cardinali.' One night they broke all the windows at the
curate's house at St. John Lateran, and at the Santa
Maria Maggiore. 6 Morte al Papa' is one of the cries
occasionally indulged in, and the most violent and ribald
publications are openly sold in the Corso. I bought one
yesterday, 6 Misere al Ministro Rossi," of which the fol-
lowing is a specimen:—
" 6 Chi piu nerd scellerato
Del de Rossi gia scannato?
Miserere Domine.
" 6 Gish alla patria tutto I mali,
Tesi ayes coi Cardina:i
Miserere Domino.
Quando an braccin invito a forte,
Con pugnal gli dig, la mort3
Marrero Domine.
6' Benedetto it terzo Brutto
Chi lo diode in mono a Pluto
Miserere Domine.
" 6 Oh the Rossi 6 nell' inferno
Canti Italia in sempiterno
Laus tibi Domine.'

of all the mischief in Italy, and while they have their
heads on their shoulders no good will be done amongst
this most excitable people.
" The Pope has issued an excommunication against
those who take any part in the forthcoming Costituerite,
but generally it is laughed at. Even the people ex-
pected a civil war, as many are determined to take the
Pope's side, and many others to carry out Republicanism.
" Long ago Pasquale thus addressed the Pope:-
6 Pio! No, no.
Ma stai,
Vedremmo come to governerai.'"
