A letter from Rome of the 14th Nov., written by a
French officer, describes the attack on the Ghetto by
order of the Cardinals, as bringing out in a stronger
light than ever the infamy of the priestly Govern-
ment of Rome. The pretext for the attack was to
search for articles of value alleged to have been plun-
dered from the churches after the expulsion of the
Porn. No such articles were found, but in order to
get up a public feeling against the Jews, saucepans
and other articles of domestic use were covered with
white linen, and conveyed away by the priests with
an air of mystery to the carriages which were in
waiting. But this was not the worst. The officers
of the Cardinals broke open the strong boxes of the
Jews, and robbed them of all their savings.
One man, a tailor, who had agreed to
purchase a business in liamburgh, was robbed
by these protectors of order, religion, and
property of 2,500 crowns, which he had collected to
pay for the business he had purchased.
Several ladies and young girls of noble families
have been arrested and thrown into prison, by order
of the Cardinals, for having in the churches prayed
for the souls of those who had died in defence of
liberty.
An unfortunate parrot, denounced by one of the
Papal spies as having uttered seditious cries, was
arrested by the abirri and executed on the spot.
The return of the POPE to Rome is again postponed.
His Holiness is said to be dissatisfied with the conduct
of the three Cardinals.
Accounts from Turin state that Count PRALoRmo
will be appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs, and
that the Marquis D'Azsmao will continue President
of the Council, but without a portfolio.

We are informed that Government has determined
to afford effectual assistance to Mr. Richardson, the
African traveller, in prosecuting his travels and re-
searches in the great desert of Sahara, Soudan, and
the regions of Bornou and the Lake Tshad. We
understand that it will be part of the duties of Mr.
Richardson to endeavour to bring the chiefs and
princes of the interior of Africa into relations of com-
merce and amity with this country. Mr. Richardson
is enjoined to embrace every opportunity of im-
pressing upon the minds of the people and princes
of Africa that legitimate commerce is preferable to
that of the traffic in men. Mr. Richardson will
be accompanied by Drs. Barth and Overweg, Prus-
sian :avails who are charged by Government to
draw up a scientific report. This will render the
mission complete, and the interests of science will
be equally consulted with those of commerce and
philanthropy.

generally when they are in the company of stupid and
ungenial people.—Eliza Cook's Journal.
