The Pope, the restored of the defenders of the
rights of property, has ordered the conflicAtion of the
property of the whole of the deputies to the Roman
Constituent Assembly. His Holiness has, it appears,
no other means of getting money, for his notable
scheme of maintaining. the Roman funds at a fictitious
price, hut by prohibiting any broker from selling
under 96, has completely failed. The excellent car-
dinals flattered themselies that by this notable scheme
they would deceive the Rothschilds, who, of course,
at once saw through the trick, and refused to have any
thing further to do with the Roman loan.

Aronsignor • Franzoni, Archbishop of Turin, has
addressed the following letter to the examining judge
who has summoned him to appear before him :
"Signore,--After receiving the summons to appear this
day before you, I seriously considered whether I could
apply to myself the rules I presented to my clergy in the
circular of the 18th inst., in which I had declared that
they would be free from reproach in obeying the
summons, and answering the interrogatories addressed to
them. I have remarked, however, that not only in con-
formity with the Council of Trent (24th sitting, chap. 5)
bishops exclusively depend from the Holy See in crimi-
nal eases, but also that, in the circular of the Holy Con-
gregation of immunity obtained by his Majesty on the
14th of -June, 1823, in which it is laid down that
ecclesiastics summoned to depose before courts of
justice are bound, to present themselves, it is neverthe-
less expressly declared that when. it shall be indispensa-
ble to interrogate an archbishop or a bishop, he shall
not, out of respect to his dignity, be summoned before
the place of judgment, but that his] Holiness reserves to
himself the authorization for that purpose, and requires
a special permission to be applied for each time.
You, there!ore, see that in the face of such clear
and forthal enactments, I am in the absolute impossi-
bility of obeying your summons. Consequently,
while professing the greatest subeiission to the laws of
the Government in whatever is not contrary to con-
science, finding myself exactly in the case specified, I
leg to be allowed the xi, cessary time to apply to the
Holy See for the authorization, this being indispensable;
and when I shall have obtained it, I shad consider it au
imperious duty to obey the prescriptions of the law.
While waiting for the notice to write immediately to
Rome, I am, &c., _ _

" Louis, Archbishop of Turin."

Lieutenant-General Alberto della Marmora,
tary Commandant of the island of Sardinia, has
addressed an order of the, day, dated Cagliari, 19th
ult.; to the' troops under his command, stating:that
he has been informed that some,refugees,:who havii
been received with hospitality in the island, have
spread infamous insinuations against the King and
his Government, and tried to persuade the soldiers
that there had been several acts of treachery in
the two last campaigns—thus attempting to sow dis-
cord among' the ranks of the army, and to endanger
its discipline. In consequence of such criminal at-
tempts, the Commandant thinks it his duty to declare
to the army that all these alleged acts of treachery
are infamous inventions, propagated by the very men
who imposed General Itamorino upon the Go-
vernment.

A new Ministerial journal is to appear at Florence
under the title of Il lonservatore Giornale lCon-
stituzionale, it being intended thus to let the Tuscans
know that the Constitution is to be maintained.

at the public sales of 4,400 bags Bengal, and prices gave
way 6d for brown soft yellow, but other kinds realised
steady rates; white Benares went at from 353 6d to 39s
6d, soft yellow 34s to 36s 6d, date 31s to 33s 64, brown

Cocos.—Holders of West India have more con-
fidence, and have offered none at public sale, but a fair
business has been concluded by private treaty, and
former terms are well supported; we quote red at 39s to
465, and grey at 36s to 403 For cwt, In Foreign holders
do not appear disposed to press sales, and require 27s to
29s per cwt. .

realise, and submitted to rather lower rates, whilst the
parcels on offer are larger than for some time past. In

creased parcels are on offer.
