ROME.

GIOBERTI had been admitted to a private interview
with his HOLINESS, with whom he remained closeted
full two hours. On coming from the audience—on the
very threshold of the palace of the Quirinal—VlNCENZO
GIOBERTI pronounced these words in a loud voice to the
assembled multitude—" Romans ! I have this mo-
ment parted from the Sovereign PoNTIFF, and I de-
clare to you I have found him to be a greater man
than I had imagined, although I have always re-
garded him with enthusiasm. As to his being an
Italian in the very bottom of his heart, he is more
Italian than myself—if you think that can be pos-
sible."

A copy of the great oration delivered to the
Romans by GIOBERTI, and printed in the Eternal
City on the 27th of May, has just reached our hands.
A want of space will alone retard the time for
publishing this extraordinary allocution in our
columns. We shall, however, lay before our readers
a translation of GIONERTfB speech, either to-morrow
or on Thursday.
The letter addressed by the PONTIFF to the Em-
peror of AUSTRIA immediately on the breaking out
of hostilities in Lombardy has at last come to light.
It has already appeared in the Sieck. We give a
translation of it, as follows :
TO THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA.
" It has been the constant practice of the Holy See

to be the herald of the words of peace in the midst
of the wars which have watered the soil of Christian
cointries with blood ; and in an address of the
291 of April, in proclaiming that it was repug-
nant to our paternal heart to declare war, we ex-
pressly avowed our earnest desire to contribute to peace.
Do not allow it, then, to offend your Majesty if we
make an appeal to your piety and religion, exhorting
you, with paternal affection, to withdraw your armies
from a war which, without re-conquering to your empire
the minds of the Lombards and Venetians, brings in its
train an unhappy mass of evils—evils that you yourself
must certainly deplore. Let not the generous German
nation take offence that we invite it to lay aside its feel-
ings of hatred and to convert into useful relations of
friendly neighbourhood a rule which would not be either
noble or happy, as it could only be maintained by the
sword.

" We entertain, then, confidence that a nation so ge-
nerously proud of its own nationality, will not make it a
point of honour to attempt the conquest of the Italian
nation by the bloody path that alone can lead to it, but
that it will rather deem itself interested in recognising
it for a sister. Both are daughters, both dear to us,
each consenting to occupy its own natural territory,
where they will lead a life honourable and blessed of the
Lord.
We pray the Dispenser of all knowledge, and the
Author of all good, to inspire your Majesty with wise
councils, whilst from the bottom of our heart we give your
Majesty, her Majesty the Empress, and the Imperial
Family, our benediction. " P. P. I'IUS IX."

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE
RIO DE LA PLATA.

We extract the following intelligence from a private
letter, dated 23d of March, 1848, which has just arrived
by the " Brandy Wine" from Monte Video
In great haste to catch this conveyance, we have to
communicate that, according to all appearances, nothing
is further from the mind of the Intervention than to give
up this question. Negotiations opened yesterday. The
Ministers addressed themselves simultaneously to Presi-
dent SoAREZ, General ORME, and the Alecto took up a
communication (supposed of the same nature) to the
Buenos Ayrean Government. It is contradicted on au-
thority that the French raised the blockade. The sale of
the Fame goes on to-day.
" The French are about to land more force here, for
which they have taken quarters; and it is generally be-
lieved the English also, although this is not yet so

certain.
" It is now believed that the Griffin (which left this
with sealed orders teu days ago) has been sent to the
Cape, to order hither the troops which were under or-
ders to return home."

HOUSE OF ,LORDS.—(THIS DAY.)
The House sat to-day, to hear appeals. The Lords pre-
sent were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Camp-
bell, Earl Brownlow, and the Bishop of Exeter.
