tries in consequence of colitical crimes, may profit by the'
present resolutions in making known within the delay of one
year to our Apostolic Nuncios or co her representatives of the
Holy See, their desire to profit by this act of our clemency.
"`3. We equally pardon those who, fur having taken part
in any conspinicies- againgt the State, are under political sur-
veillance, or may have been declared incapable of holding
municipal offices.
".4. It is our desire that all criminal prosecutions for poli-
tical offet.ces which have not yet received defitaivejteigment
should be instantly put a stop to, and that the prisoners be
set at liberty, unless any of them may demand the con-
' tinuation of their trials, in order that their innocence may be
proved.
"5. There shall not be included in the provisions of the
preceding articles the small number of ecclesiastics, of military
officers and trap/oyes of the Government who have been
already condemned, or have fled, or are now under trial for
political offences. With regard to those we reserve our de-
cision until we shall have obtained information_as to their
particular position.
"6. There are also excluded from the present amnesty
crimes and ordinary offences, which are subject to the juris-
diction of the tribunal.
" We are anxious to feel a confidence that those who will
avail themselves of our clemency will know how at all times
to respect their duties and their honour. We hope, more-
over, that their minds, softened by our pardon, will lay aside
their civil hatreds, which are always the occasion and the
effect of political passions, in order to draw closer those
bonds of peace by which God desires that all the sons of the
same father shall be unied • but if our hope be deceived. it
would be with bitter pain drat we should call to mind that if
clemency is the sweetest attribute of sovereignty, justice is
its first duty.

year of our Pontificate.

" PIUS P P. IX."

A letter from Rome, of the 18th, gives an interest-
ing account of the effect produced by the publication
of the amnesty. It says :
" Nothstanding the exceptions, more than 1,200 per-
sons are liberated by the liqty determination of the truly
generous heart of Pius IX. -if proclamation of the Holy
Father, and the list of the perstins amnestied, was posted up
yesterday evening at seven o'clock. Half an hour afterwards
the people crowded to the Quirinal, shouting Viva Papa
Viva Pio nono! Viva it nostro boon Papa? From half-
past seven to half-past nine, the crowd continued to increase
at the Quirinal and on the square of Monte Cavallo, and the
Holy Father appeared, in conformity wish the wish of the
people, three times at the Grand Balcony, from which he gave
each time his benediction, amidst the loudest and most en-
thusiastic acclamations. At about ten o'clock an orchestra
was celebrating the fete of SL Camilla, in the church of the
Madeleine. The crowd went there, and requested the musi-
cians to leave the church and go to the Quirinal to perform
in testimony of the joy of the people. At eleven o'clock the
square of Monte Cavallo and the environs of the Quirinal
were still filled with a compact crowd, whose acclamations
were incessant. The repeated cries of Viva Pio nono induced
the Pope to appear a fourth time in the balcony, notwith-
standing the lateness of the hour. The night was very da: k,
but torches were burning in the balcony, and the populace had
also lighted an immense number, so that every facewas visible,
and the effect was pleasing in a high degree. The musicians
and a portion of the crowd remained under the windows
of the Quirinal until after midnight. There were no guards
out, and yet not the slightest breach of order occured. The
city will be illuminated for several evenings in honour of this
great event. It is reported that the Pope will in a very few
days announce his decision as to the choice of a Secretary o!
State. The prevailing opinion is that Cardinal Gizzi will be

appointed to• this important post, but many persons imagine
that the Pope, notwithstanding his wish to appoint Cardinal
Gizzi, will be compelled to yield to the influence of high per-
sonages, who are opposed to such a course. As to Cardinal
Lambruschini, it is said that he has lost all chance of being
made Secretary of State."

General LAMoRICIERE has announced himself as a
candidate for the first arrondissement of Paris, in oppo-
:•ition to 51. Cesimiu PERIER, and although M. ODILON
BARROT comes forward as the General's political god-
father, yet the Liberals seem by no means satisfied
with his professions of faith ; and, accordingly, the
Courrier Francais attacks him for not being suffi-
ciently explicit, while, on the other hand, the Journal
des Debats, the organ of the Ministry, attacks him
for not at once, if he is an Opposition candidate,
avowing himself to be such, instead of contenting
himself with declaring that he shall enter the
Chamber as a " perfectly independent man."
