of their comrades had been wounded by the firing of
the Swiss. They had brought with them a quantity of
combustible matter, with the intention of burning the
palace. One shot entered the apartment in which the
Pope was. A search was made by the people for Car-
dinal Lambruschini, but he escaped in the disguise of a
dragoon. Galetti prevented the mob plundering the
Palace of Cardinal Morandi. The military authorities
have submitted to the popular club. Romini and Serini

said to have declared that, having been compelled to dis-

LEGHoeN, Nov. 20.—When the news of the death
of Rossi reached this place, it occasioned great public
ei()jeings, and it was received with songs of joy. The
Italian tri-coloured fliL, was planted at the top of the
cathedral. The crowd, preceded by drums and flags,
marched to the residence of M. LA CECILIA, and then
to the hotel of the Roman Consul, for the purpose of
.felicitating him with respect to the insurrection which
had broken out at Rome. The vast assemblage then
moved on until it arrived at the Palace of the Go-
vernment, .vhen th msands of men called upon the
Governor, CARLO PIGLI, to show himself on the ter-
race ; on doing so, he said, " The Minister Rossi was
