" Sir,—l have the honour to beg of you to give orders

predecessor, they are authorised to present themselves in

ITALY.
ROME, Dec. 5.—A1l Rome is talking about the
arrest of the Marquis Campana, director of the
Monte di Pieta, which unexpected event took place
at that establishment on Saturday morning soon
after the marquis had arrived from his palace in
the Via del Babuino for the usual transaction of
business. The Procuratore Fiscale and some
subordinate officials having gone through the
ceremony of verifying the amount of funds in the
chests of the establishment, and having found a deficit
in cash of several hundred thousand scudi, in place of
which were receipts and acknowledgments signed by
the marquis, handed him to the custody of a squad of
sbirri, who were waiting in the piazza below, and
who conveyed him forthwith to the guardhouse at
Monte Citorio, and thence to the prison of San
Michele. The news having spread like wildfire
amongst the poor people in the quarter around the
Monte di Pieta, to whom the marquis, both in his
private character and as a director of that establish-
ment, has been for years a patron and benefactor,
such signs of popular dissatisfaction were manifested,
as to induce the Government to give orders for the
troops to be detained in their barracks, the French
general giving similar orders to his own forces, so
as to be ready to act in any emergency or attempt
to release the prisoner.
The merits of this case which are already being ac.
tively discussed before the tribunal of public opinion,
which appear to be far more favourable to the
marquis than the criminal tribunal, before which
his trial for " abuse of power" is to take place, will .
probably show itself.
The Marchesa Campana, on hearing of her bus-
band's arrest, immediately waited upon Cardinal
Autouelli and the French Ambassador, and made
every other exertion in his behalf. It is even
asserted that she telegraphed the news to the
Emperor Napoleon, upon whose graaude she
has a continual claim; for having, when Mies
Bowles, romantically assisted him to escape from
confinement in the Casale of Ham.
Cardinal Tosti, director of the college and hospital
of San Michele, was shocked at his friend the nll'
quis being brought to the adjoining prisons, and
offered him the use of his own apartment, if allowed
by the Government.
Yesterday evening the medical man in attend-
ance on the marquis (M. Orison) was placed in
arrest.
