frrmined to oppose whatever would tend to subvert the
temporal sovereignty of the Holy See, or to detach from
it any of its provinces. His Imperial Majesty entertains a
perfect conviction, that the concessions proposed to change
the form of the Pontifical Government, have no ether
worth, in the -estimation of those by whom they are de-
manded, than that of a means to reach their real end,__
that of withdrawing themselves entirely from the Holy
See ; and that these concessions cannot have any other
result than to lind to new pretensions and fresh troubles.
It is, therefore, out of regard to the repose of Italy that
the Emperor deems himself bound to refuse his support to
these demands; and it is thus, that, obeying the voice of
his vonscience, he serves truly the cause of general peace,
ivhich is the object of his wishes and constant solicitude.
Rendering full justice to the dispositions which the French
Government, guided by motives of self preservation, ma-
nifests in this respect, the Austrian Cabinet resigns itself
also to the confidence that it will be always easy to arrive
st an understanding which will get rid of any difficulties
that may present themselves in the course of events, and it
enter tains, consequently, no apprehensions of a serious com-
plication, which should take its rise in the administrative
measures of a third and independent state. But strong in
the sincerity of his sentiments, at once pacific, just, and
conciliatory, the Emperor cherishes, at the same time, the
in'imats persuasion of finding, in all cases, his Britannic
Majesty disposed, like himself, to maintain and strengthen
the indissoluble bonds of amity and alliance which have
united for so long a period the two Monarchs, and to
which rectitude of principles, and identity of views and
interests, serve on both sides as a guarantee.

The undersigned requests the Ambassador to bring
the contents of this reply to the knowledge of his Govern
ment, and eagerly seizes the opportunity," &c. &c.

NOTE OF M. SEYMOUR TO THE COUNT DE LUTZOW.
" ROME, SEPT. 19.

" The undersigned begs to acknowledge the receipt of
the note of the 12th, which the Count de Lutzow,
Am-
bassador Extraordinary of his Imperial and Royal Apos-
tolic Majesty, has returned to the communteation which
he had the honour of addressing to his Excellency on the
7th inst. The note from his Highness Prince Metternich
to Sir F. Lamb, which Count de Lutzow has had the
kindness to communicate to the undersigned, was already
in his po+session, and having been received in London
some days before the departure of the messenger who
was the bearer of instructions for his quitting
Rome, the undersigned is obliged to infer that
the observations contained in this paper have not ap-
peared to his Majesty's Government to be of such nature
as to alter the views they bad taken of the state of Roman
affairs. The undersigned, as at present instructed, be-
lieves that his Majesty's Government still entertains the
opinion that the ameliorations introduced by the Pope since
the conferences of last year are not of such a nature as to
correspond satisfactorily either with the suggestions which
were conjointly made to his Holiness by the representatives
of the Great Powers, in May, 1831, or with the expecta-
tions which were held out towards the same period to the
subjects of the Pope, in the name of their Sovereign. His
Majesty's Government is unquestionably aware, that among
the subjects of his Holiness there are to be found those who
belong to the dangerous faction to which Count Lutzow's
note refer, those, namely, who would 'remain dissatisfied
with any amount of concessions which might be obtained
fur them ; but the fact does not alter their opinion that
;he wishes of a much larger and more reasonable propor•
Lion of the Roman population might he complied with,
with signal advantage both to the subjects and to tha Go-
vernment of Rome. A separation woted be thus effected
among the parties of the discontented, and while one
class would become bound by fresh ties to their Sove-
reign, the other would be rendered powerless by the
injustice of its demands. With these and similar views
his Majesty's Government have been up to the
present time disposed to continue their good offices in as-
sisting to adjust the difficulties with which the affairs of the
Papal dominions are beset; but although no doubt can be
entertained that the same ulterior views with regard to
these States is sought for by all the great Powers, a diffe-
rence of opinion appears unquestionably to exist as to the
me ins by which the end is to be obtained. Time will
not fail to show the fallacy or correctness of the view taken
of Roman affairs, and their consequences by his Ma-
jesty's Government, and the undersigned can only assure
Count Lutzow of the pleasure which he shall experience in
finding that his gloomy forebodings have not been realized.
He begs at the same time to avail himself of perhaps the
last opportunity he may have of addressing Count Lutzow
tor the purpose of expressing to his Excellency his convic-
tion that the dangers to which it has been his duty to al-
lude will be diminished in proportion as that course of im-
provement which his Excellency's note announces on the
. .11 LIS
Excellency the assurance, &c. "G. H. 6EYMOUR
" To his Excellency the Count de Lutzow,
Ambassador of his Imperial and Royal
Apostolic Majesty, &e. &c. &c."

Orders were received at Deal on Friday morn-
ing to prepare for the reception of 5,000 seamen, which
has caused great bustle in the place. Directions have been
issued at that port for a large supply of beef, bread, vege-
tables, and other articles of food, tin- the combined Eng-
lish and French fleet.—Kent Herald.
The sheep-dealer named LEE, who had his
pocket picked at Devizes green fair of near 5001 , as
noticed in our last, has since recovered 3421. of the amount
in the following manner :—ln the course of an interview
with the prisoners in the old Bridewell, and on promising
not to prosecute, provided the property was restored, he
was told that he would find the man with the pocket book
either at Swindon or Oxford, and the one in custody
pr,ffered his services to discover him. At a very early
hour on Tuesday morning Mr. LEE, accompanied by Mr.
RtirrEa. (one of the police), and the prisoner alluded to,
proceeded to Swindon, and, after a parley, took the party
to a plantation between Wroughton and Swindon, where
he had secreted the pocket-honk under some earth, an

which, with all the money it then contained (3421.) he
gave to Mr. LEE ; at the same time telling him, that
if he had not met him that morning, he intended to have
tAken the money end left the country. The prisoners have
been since discharged.—Sherborne Journal.

THE LAMPLIGHTER INSECT, OR COCOOY

QUEEN BEETLE. —This astonishing insect is About one
inch and a qu irter in length, and, what is wonderful to
relate, she carries by her side, just about her waist, two
brilliant lamps, which she lights up at pleasure, with the
solar phosphorus furnished to her by nature. These little
lamps do not flash and glimmer like that of the fire-fly, but
give as steady a light as the gas light, exhibiting two per-
fect spheres, as large as a minute pearl, which afford light
enough in the darkest night to enable one to read print by
them 1 On carrying her into a dark closet in the day-time,
she immediately illuminates her lamps, and instantly ex-
tinguishes them on coming again into the light. But lan-
guage cannot express the he.,uty and sublimity of these
lucid orbs in miniature, with which nature has furnished
the queen of the insect kingdom.
VOLCANO IN ICELAND.—The Oriefa moun-
tain is not only the loftiest in Iceland, but has been ren-
dered re:narkable by the great devastation made by its
eruption about a century ago. Nothing can be more
striking than the account of this calamity given by Jose
THORLAKSON, the aged minister of a neighbouring parish.
He was in the midst of his service on the sabbath, when
the agitation of the earth gave warning that some alarm-
ing event was to follow. Rushing from the church he
saw a peak of the neighbouring mountain alternately
heaved up and sinking ; the next day, this portion of the
mountain ran doni-tntiontsouctilleaphlaeiing,hlti,kethnalte,ltaesd

be seen, than about the size of a bird ; volumes of water
being in the mean time thrown forth in a deluge from the
crater, sweeping away whatever they encountered in their
course. The Ormfa itself then broke forth, hurling large
masses of ice to a great distance ; fire burst out in every
direction from its sides ; the sky was darkened by the
smoke and ashes, so that the day could hardly he dis-
tinguished from the night. This scene of horror continued
for more than three days, during which the whole region
was converted into utter desolation.—,North American
Review,
