A letter from Rome of the 12th inst. announces
that Cardinal Francisco de Medici was struck with
apoplexy the preceding evening while paying a visit
to Monsignor Guiseppe Stolla, private camerist of
his Holiness. NotwithstAnding medical aid was
speedily afforded him, he died at eight in the even-
lirving previously received the last sacraments.
The Cardinal was born at Naples the 28th Novem-
ber, 1808, and received the purple the 16th June,
1856.

TURIN, Oct. 13.—8 y a notification, signed 1 y
Cavalie•e de Winderkhern, Commandant of the
Modenese Dragoons, and dated Carrara, Oct. 6,
1857, Martial law has been once more proclaimed
in the city and commune of Carrara, of the cause
of which the Ittessaggiere di Modena of the 9th
instant gives the following account. According to
that journal, the Duke of Modena had raised
the state of siege in the Carrara district last
December because he thought that the punish-
ment inflicted on not a few disturbers of public
order had been sufficient to repress the auda
city of those wicked people who infest the
city and commune of Carrara, but the con-
fidence, cherished by this most clenr,nt Prince
had been far from realised, for after a few months
assaults, wounds, and murders were not only recom-
menced, but had. been so frequently perpetrated as
to give good cause for alarm to the peaceable inha-
bitants and to induce the Government, however
unwillingly, to provide anew, by exceptional'mea-
sures, against this rising evil.
Things had arrived at this state on the occasion
of the departure of a great part of the garrison of
Carrara for the autumnal manoeuvres at Reggio,
when some evil-disposed persons summoned courage
enough to insult some soldiers in the theatre on the
evening of the 27th of the last month, and at the
same time to express their contempt for the whole
honourable class of which they formed a part.
These provocations excited a confusion, in which a
soldier anti several civilians were slightly w.,uncied,
but the fact was not devoid of an appearance of pre-
meditation, since one of those arrested threw away
a dagger with which he was armed when taken
prisoner by thepolica. The moderation of the troops
in this instance was probably mistaken for wealmeas,
for in the afternoon of the next day (the 28th)
fresh deed of extraordmary atrocity was committed.
Three individuals belonging to the reserve of the
army, that is to say—Serjeant Ribeliui and privates
Zeni and Rocchi—were on the high road of Grag-
nani, near Carrara, and not far from their own
houses, quiet and unarmed, when they were sud-
denly attacked with stones and daggers by seven
youn-g men known to belong to the city or neigh-
bourhood. The two first named were killed out-
right, but Rocchi survived two days, and idcnti
tied one of the assassins, wh i had been arrested
by the police. Five others of the gang have since
been captured by the Saidinian police, and their
extradition demanded by the Modenese Govern-
ment, in virtue of existing conventions, and the
seventh, although. well known, is still at large.

" It is asserted," says the Inclependance, " that
several of the petty German States, though au-
thorising their subjects t) demand the medal of St.
Helena, make objections to its being worn.

The German FrankfOrt Journal states from
13?rlin (14th) that the ilatsi•in circular relating tJ
the iuterviews of Stuttgard arid Wtdinar is the same
in spirit as that of Count \Valewski, and that the
interviews have had no other signification than
that of guarantees for the maintenance of peace.

The Mad rid journals of the 13 have reached us.
Arinero had arrived, and was to be re-
ceived by the Quen, ou liar return from the
theatre, at one o'olock at night. General Ros de
Olano, M. Bermudez de Castro, General de la
Conch?, and General Serrano were spoken of as
likely to be his colleagues in the formation of a
ministry.
