BISHOP or TARNOW.

"In the midst of the very grave solicitudes and afflictions
with which we are overwhelmed in this great perturbation
of the civil and Christian republic, we have learned with
much pain that in the countries subjected to our very dear
son, the Emperor of Austria, apostolic King of Hungary and
illustrious King of Bohemia, a detestable conspiracy has been
undertaken against the sovereignty of that most serene Prince
—a conspiracy clandestinely carried on by the machinations
of these men who, in these sad times, only listen to their
passions, and, always agitated like waves of the sea, despise
all rule, and blaspheme the majesty of the throne; of these
insidious inventors of lies, who abuse in an impious manner
the pretext of public good and religion, and endeavour to
deceive the inexperienced minds of the multitude in order
to lead them into error, and who excite sedition in order
to overturn, if possible, the rights and established order
of all authority. This grave and afflicting intelligence,
venerable brother, has extremely grieved us, for we are
aware how great is the piety of this most serene Prince, who
has merited well from the Holy See, who upholds the Catho-
lic religion in his states,—defends with care those who pro-
fess it, and provides with all his power for the happiness of
his people. We are the more afflicted, that we understand
that several ecclesiastics have been wretchedly deceived by
bad counsels and intrigues, and that even several cures have
dared, in an affair of such great importance, to fail in their duty.
We are persuaded, venerable brother, that by your pastoral
vigilance you will have endeavoured to preserve your flock
from seductions and snares, and to make them persevere in
the observance of the precepts of the Catholic religion and in
fidelity to their sovereign, by remaining subject to him not
only through fear, but also by conscientious motives. We,
however, address to you this letter in order that you may
inculcate with the utmost zeal the doctrine of obedience,
which all subjects owe absolutely to the supreme authorities,
according to the precepts of the apostle Paul, and even of the
divine Prince of Pastors himself. Do not forget to recal to their
duty those ecclesiastics, who forgetting their obligations:and
their dignity, take part in these seditious movements ; never
cease to exhort your clergy, in order that, calling to mind
their vocation, and thinking seriously of the ministry which
they have received from the Lord, they may make every
effort both by words and example, to keep Christians away
from the perfidious conspiracies of seditious men, and to in-
form them that all power comes from God, and that conse-
quently this divine precept cannot be violated without com-
mitting a sin, except when anything contrary to the laws
of God and the Church should happen to be commanded.
We do not doubt, venerable brother, the zeal with which
you will second our desires and our counsels, and that you
will so act that the flock committed to your care may hold
in horror and utterly avoid the mad schemes of unsettled
minds, the impious movements of turbulent men, and that
they may, according to the Catholic doctrine, pay all honour
and obedience to their most serene Prince. Meanwhile, we
attest to you by this letter the strong feeling of kindness
which we experience towards you, and we give you the
apostolic benediction with all the effusion of our heart, and
with a desire that you and your faithful believers may enjoy
a veritable felicity.—Given at Rome, near St. Peter's, on
Feb. 27, 1846, the 16th year of our pontificate,
" GREGORY XVI."

MORTALITY IN TIM METROPOLIS.—We regret to find that
there has been a great increase in the number of deaths
during the week ending Saturday, March 28th, as compared
with the entire winter. The number was 1,065, exceeding
the average of the season by nearly 150. The increase appears
to be chiefly in diseases of the lungs and other organs of res-
piration. The deaths from hooping cough, bronchitis, and
consumption, are considerably above the average, and violent
deaths also are very numerous, amounting to 56, while the
average is 26. Deaths from old age are comparatively few.

MR. WILD'S NEW MAP OF THE POSITIONS OF THE
BRITISH AND SEIKII ARMIES ON THE SUTLF.J.-Mr. Wyld, of
Charing Cross, geographer to the Queen and his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, has just published a map of the seat of
war on the banks of the Sutlej, drawn on a very large scale,
showing the respective positions of the British and Seikh and
forces since the commencement of the war up to the battle
of Aliwal. The situation of the Tete de Pont at the Hur-
rekee Ghat, and disposition of the British and Seikh forces
before the attack on the Seikh position there, which resulted
in the final overthrow of the Seikh army, are also shown.
The route to Lahore is also laid down, so that by means of
this map the reader of the Indian dispatches can follow the
march of the army from day to day. Every one who wishes
to have a clear idea of the strategy of the Seikh campaign
should be in possession of this map.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a good business done in Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday. Sales, 7,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken on
speculation and for export. Prices were very fully main-
tained. In the Share market there was a tendency to lower
prices, with less business doing.
The mercantile reports, both for the London and provincial
markets, are not of a very favourable character, but it is from
the manufacturing districts that we have the chief complaints.
From the testimony of most parties, however, we may fairly
conclude that it will not be long ere a marked improvement
occurs, as the money market is likely to become easier.
The commercial letters from India to the latest date, the
3d ultimo, state that the demand for English manufactures
WAS not encouraging; and as regards China, the markets
were overstocked, and sales were made at a great loss.
, We have from Ceylon the following statement relative to
coffee planting :-
" Large clearings have been made in all quarters, but more
especially in Limbola, on the Knuckles, Ambegamoa, &c.,
which will be burnt off as soon as possible and planted, if the
rains commence, in May or June.
" There is still much sickness among the Coolies ; fever,
and coughs and colds, being the prevailing complaints. The
cold and parching north-east wind is not borne well
by the natives. Several deaths have occurred among new
gangs of men, who drop off soon after their arrival
from the coast, apparently arriving in a diseased
and exhausted condition ; cholera and disease in
general has now ceased for some time in Kandy, and no cases
have occurred lately at the outstations, in fact all bowel-
attacks have been less prevalent than usual this year on those
estates where they generally prevail. Fever of a bad cha-
racter and chest affestione have been the chief ailments,
Europeans have not escaped, but fatal cases have teen rare.
" Some folks would persuade us we are neither to have rice
or money to buy it with, and that we must suspend opera-
tions on the plantations because there will be no hard cash to
pay the Coolies with, but we would fain hope for better
things and conclude by writing nil desperandum."
There is not much doing in the Public Securities, and the
Consol market continues rather flat. Money and Time bar-
gains have been made at 9614 ; Exchequer-bills are
down to 255. and 255.
The Foreign Bonds have been dull, with the exception of
Mexican, which are higher on account of the arrangement,
by which Messrs. Lizardi will immediately pay over 30,000/.
to the new agents, and the law proceedings against them be
discontinued. The quotations are 3214 to 321,(. Colombian
are 16, and Chilian 96. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 57.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 5914 to 59%.
Shares have been much the same.
