The Roman Journal, of the 14th instant., publishes
the following document:—

" PROCLAMATION.

" Romans,—Since our entrance into your city incon-
testable proofs of sympathy, and numerous addresses,
have cenvinerd us that the city of Rome only awaited the
moment it should be delivered from a regimen of oppres-
sion and anarchy, to manifest anew its loyalty and gra-
titude towards the generous Pontiff, to whom it is in-
debted for its first liberties. Those sentiments have never
been questioned by France. By restoring to-day in the
capital of the Christian world the temporal sovereignty
of the Chief of the Church, she has realised the ardent
wishes of the CatLolic cdrnmunity. Immediately on his
accession to the supreme dignity, the illustrious Pius
IX. made known to his people the liberal sentiments
which animated him. The Sovereign Pontiff appre-
ciates your desires and wants. France knows it. Your
confidence shall not be deceived.

The General-in-Chief.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO
GLASGOW.

We stated on Thursday that communications had
been received in the city which rendered it all but
certain that the Queen would honour Glasgow with a
visit on her progress from Ireland to Balmoral. It
was not without strong grounds that we held out
this gratifying prospect to the hopes of the citizens.
Contemporaries of yesterday attempted to discredit
our announcement, on the authority of " an officer on
board her Majesty's yacht at Cowes"—a most un-
likely quarter to receive any reliable information on a
point of this nature. Our contemporaries might as well
have applied to the royal coachmen and grooms. We
are happy to be able so soon to place her Majesty's in.
tention beyond all further doubt, by printing the follow-
ing letter, which was received from the Home Office by
our worthy Lord Provost yesterday (Friday) afternoon :
" Whitehall, July 19, 1849.
"My Lord,—l have the honour to acknowledge the
receipt of your Lordship's letter of the 13th inst.
I have much satisfaction in informing your Lord-
ship that her Majesty has intimated herintention of
visiting the city of Glasgow, on her route from Ireland
to Balmoral; and I will take care that your Lordship
shall receive due notice of the probable period of her
arrival.

"I have the honour to be, my Lord, Your Lordship's
obedient servant,

" The Lord Provost of Glasgow." "G. GREY.
Now that the gracious intention of the Queen is fully
known, we need hardly say that every arrangement will
be made to give her Majesty a reception worthy of the
second city in the empire.—Glasgow Mail.

Extract of a letter from the Cape of Good Hope
Station :
" May 25.—The Governor is still very ill, though
out of danger. The Geyser steam-vessel arrived here,
from St. Helena, on the 30th ult., having run in and
landed the Bishop at Table-bay on her way up. She
will be here for the next three months at least, in con-
sequence of some necessary repairs connected with her
machinery. The Orestes left this (Simon's-bay) on the
15th instant, for a cruize in the Mozambique. This
vessel has been thoroughly cleaned out, and her crew
turned over to the Seringapatam in the mean time, in
consequence of sickness having shown itself. Some few
men have been invalided,:and there are eleven inlospital.
The First-Lieutenant (Mr. Merman) will invalid home
in the Childers, having lost his voice, and thereby be-
come incapable of performing , his duty as efficiently
as ho has been accustomed to do. The Nimrod is
expected here shortly, from the Mauritius, on her way
to England, the Eurydice having left this to relieve her
on the sth ult. Mr. English, secretary's clerk, has been
appointed by the Admiral purser of the Orestes, vice
Eeles, who is to be invalided, in consequence of his
having met with a serious accident whilst shooting.
He was loading one barrel of his gun, when by some
means the trigger of the other was caught by a bush,and
a bullet with which the piece eras charged passed through
the fleshy part of his right arm, below the elbow. He is
going on favourably. The squadron now in the Bay
consists of the Southampton (flag), Geyser, Dee, Chil-
ders, and Seringapatam."
THE PORTLAND DMEAKWITER.

corps, with their field pieces, left their barracks for em-
barkation in the Sphynx steam-sloop, in order to take
part in the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of
