LONDON-BRIDGE.—The eastern side of the
new bridge is rendered every day almost impassable by
the crowds of persons who step to witness the taking
down of the old one. This operation proceeds with ap-
parent rapidity, though it is still thought that the greater
part of the present year will have elapsed before it is com-
pleted. The great diffirulty hitherto has been to keep the
water-way clear, which has thus far been successfully ac-
complished. Nothing surprises spectators;more than finding
that the old bridge, instead of consisting of solid masses
of stone, its main ingredients consist of rubbish, showing
a very different species of masonry to that which has re-
placed it.

NORTH OF ITALY.

REPRESENTATION OP THE PAPAL LE-

GATIONS TO THE SEE OF ROME.

MOST BLESSED FATHER,—The undermentioned
inhabitants of Bologna, desirous to see tranquillity
and order assured to your State, and established for
the common prosperity of all, think themselves
bound to present humbly before your blessed throne
some respectful remarks which appear necessary to
obtain this important end.
The general desire of the people, as much before
as since the recent political disturbances, has always
been that a Monarchical Government, more con-
formable to the new customs, just, economical, and
tolerant, should be substituted for the present system
of a temporal and pontifical Government. This ar-
dent desire arose from the knowledge of the general
wants which still exit; therefore it would be a
great error to suppo,e that those disturbances were
created by the few who were condemned to the
misery of an exile. Of this there is sufficient proof,
considering what has been the state of inquietude in
the provinces in the doubt of obtaining the wished-
for ameliorations.

Admitting, therefore, that your people have no
other desire than to obtain permanent institutions
(so much the more necessary where the Sovereign
is elective), which may supply the place of those
enfranchised privileges which were assured to the
various cities of the State by the ancient pontifical
charters of the constitution, which do not take from
the rights of the Sovereign Pontiff, and which are
not in contradiction wits► the interests of the other
Powers—thus the undersigned implore the follow-
ing conditions :-
1. That the Ecclesiastical and Civil Power,shall
be separated, and established as a fundamentul
maxim, that all the employments and offices of the
temporal Government shall become secular.

2. That the administration of the communes and
provinces shall be regulated by common and provin-
cial Councils.

persons in the classes approved eligible—restricted,
however, by a census, stating their conditions, rank,
and capacity.

from the Communal Councils.

5. That there may be near the Pope a Council of
State, composed of individuals of all the provinces,
in proportion to the number of the respective popu-
lations, chosen by the Sovereign from the lists formed
of the Members of the Provincial Councils.

6. That three years after their formation.a third
of the Common and Provincial Councils, not ex-
cepting the Council of State, to be renewed in the
above-mentioned forms, and thus, every succeeding
year, by turns, the Councillors that go out may be
re-elected.
7. That the Council of State must carefully watch
the good conduct of the different Ministers, give its
consent to the emanation of laws—to the imposition
of taxes and tributes ; and should be consulted by
the Sovereign in all those cases which form, in a

temonarchy, the attribute of the Councils

to the sanction of the Sovereign the reform necessary
for the division of the territory, and for the restriction
of the number of commons as well as the regulation
for the administration of the provinces and commons.
9. And that the same Council may be called upon
by the Provincial Council for the wants of the pro-
vinces, by means of the respective Councillors by
which they are represented in the same Council of
State.
10. That after the proposed Council of State
shall be named by the Sovereign, various Commis-
sions, composed of individuals from the different
provinces, who shall be bound to compile with care
the projects for the new laws, and to propose the
Reform necessary for those already promulgated,
warning in a special manner-Ist, That the civil
laws may be rendered uniform for all, without ex-
ception or privilege. 2d, To reform the system of
mortgage, to accord it with the civil laws, taking
from it those defects which render it impracticable.
3d, That all the civil judgments shall be preceded
by an attempt at juridical conciliation. 4th, That
the proceedings shall be rendered simple and econo-
mical, and shall not oblige the inhabitants of the
provinces to have recourse to distant tribunals.

ments, and the custom of proportioning them to the
evidence, shall be taken from the criminal laws, and
shall be rendered common to all crimes, without dis-
tinction; and that all the tribunals shall have the
same rule for penal proceedings; that the publicity
of all discussions shall be established, excepting only
those cases which may be detrimental to public
morals. 6th, That the laws of finance shall be di-

cially for the duties on grinding corn, arid the duties
on consumption; that the system of administrations

be made at the expence of the State; and that every
year the accounts of the expenses of all the Ministers
shall be discussed and presented before the Council
of State, and made publicly known.
14. That the system of common and provincial
administrations shall be extended, except to Rome
and its marches, and also those subsidies necessary
for the charges of the State on extraordinary occasions.
15. That the judicial power shall be entirely dis-
tinct and independent of the administrative power,
in such a manner that the Judges and tribunals shall
only correspond with the Sovereign by means of
the Minister of Justice.
16. That the system of promotion shall only be
given by merit and long services, in all the military
and civil employments, as also in the common, pro-
vincial, and State situations.
17. That to the present regulations on public in-
structions shall be added the necessary reforms, ac-
cording to the opinion of the Council of State, and
the different Colleges of the Universities.
18. That Civic Guards shall be established in the
towns and country ; and that from henceforward
all foreigners shad be excluded from receiving pay
in the military service, to enable the State to offer
an honourable career to many youths of merit.
19. That a general amnesty be granted to all per-
sons who are accused of taking part in the late po-
litical disturbances.

which ca►► satisfy the wishes of your subjects. Such
are the institutions and the Reform which will pro-
cure you the admiration of the world, the love of
your people, arid will serve more than any other
means to consolidate the Pontifical authority, to pro-
mote the prosperity of the State, and to assure you
in history the glorious title of founder of a new era.
