PAnts, FEB. 7,—The report ;Was general yes-
terday evening that 20,000 Neapolitan troops had
entered Ronie, and that the Pope was no conger
in his capital, though Joaehint Murat :had not
quitted Naples:. We must observe, however, that
private Iztters front the North of Italy say nothing
of this strange news.—Vbranal des Debuts.)

'4`• Many Etglish traders visit our proYinees with

The Party Chronicle of to-day has a virulent and

are " a fearful, sktdking Cabal," " incompetent

not desceMd to answer such impotent and unman-
nerly railing—the acts of the Governthent afford
a better 'reply to acrimonious and unjustifiahle
accusations than any speeches or writings,
however long and convincing. That they have
furnished this satisfactory species of answer,
the Chronicle most unwittingly 'acknowledges,

We have already noticed that the Archbishop
of CASHEL had refused to consecrate the new,
church at Caber. Tlt following are further par-

"‘A splendid new- Church was built in this
town, at the instance of Lady CASTER. It is a fine
ornament to the town, being a well finished piece
of Grecian architecture, which costs the parish a
rate of 2s: 6d. per acre per annum, during the
next 14 years. A few weeks hence, his Grace the
.Archbishop of CASHEL, together with a number
of Clergymen, &c. came to Caller, for the pur-
pose of consecrating it upon trying the site with
