The following from Rome of the 31st instant ap-
pears in the Messenger of Modena. It may be con-
sidered in light of a semi-official account :
" There has just been constituted a now commission
specially charged to occupy itself with new organic
laws, destined to develope the principles of the meta
proprio of the 7th September, 1849. It is not doubted
that this act, published.with so mnch solemnity, commu-
uicatcd to the diplomatic body, commented on in the
French Assembly, and in the Catholic and Conservative
journals, will become the fundamental basis of a now
order of government. The commission, of which Car-
dinal Antomdli is a member, and who desired to call it
a Consulta of Sete, will receive the name of Permanent
Council of Finances. It appears that the Council of
State will not sit in a regular manner, but only when the
Government shall see proper to ask its advice on questions
of legislation or public altninistration."
Letters from Rome represent the social state of
that city as most deplorable. ANTONELLI the
ROBESPIERRE of the re-action, has established the
reign of terror, and N ARDONI is his FOUQUIEB
TINVILLE. The family of the NARDUCCI have
been exposed to the most shameful persecutions.
Madame THERESE NARDUCCI was, some months
since, arrested for having prayed in the church of St.
Ignatius for the soul of her son, who was killed on
the bastion of St. Pancrazio, while defend-
ing his native city against foreign invasion.
She was thrown into the public prison, and
forced to associate with galley slaves and thieves;
she was afterwards released, with orders not to quit
her house ; she was again suddenly arrested one
morning before she had risen from her bed, and con-
ducted on foot to prison in her night-clothes by the
Papal Shirri through the public streets; she was again
released, and ordered not to quit her house, where she
remeined a prisoner eight months. During this time
her husband and her brother-in-law were ar-
rested, and after being kept in prison some
time were released, no charge being made
against them, but were put under the surveillance
of the police. After being detained eight months
under arrest in her own house, Madame THERESE
Naanucci was honoured by a call from the valet of
the President of Sacra Cunsulta, Monsignor MANTE-
ucct, who made to her verbally the following com-
municetion :—" Madame THERESE you may quit
your house, Monsignor having declared that you are
innocent." From the period of her first arrest she
was never brought before any authority or examined
by any officer of justice. The restored clerical Go•
vernment is universally detested. Signor ANTONINI,
arrested the other day by order of .NARDONI, was
asked by the magistrate if he knew any Mazziniens
cans)? ANTONINI replied
(it is thus the clerical party designate the Republiz
" Name them,'' continued the magistrate. " Wil-
lingly," replied ANTONINI, " with the exception of
" Yes ; a great number..
som monks, some priests, and the frequenters of
the Bonifazi club, the entire population of the Ito.
man States is Mazzinien."
The Naples papers of the 14th inst. bring us the
new law relative to the press, which has just been
promulgated by the Government, together with the
report of the Ministers to the KING upon which that
law is founded. The following are the principal arti-
cles of the law, as given by the official paper :
