Cardinal Patrizi, Vicar-General of Rome, has
published a notification, dated the 2il, in which, after
reciting that his holiness had, on the 10th of May,
1849, consented to the mortgage of certain ecclesi-
astical property, to the amount of 1,700,000 solidi
(8 500,000''.), in order to meet the extraordinary fi-
nancial difficulties of the moment, but that the pay-
ment of so large a sum by the clergy in the space of
six months having been found impracticable, his
holiness had afterwards accepted tne offer of the
clergy to pay the sum of 4,000;000 of scudi
(20,000,000 francs) by instalments in the course of
15 years on the condition of being freed from the
obligation of extinguishing the Treasury bonds.
The Cardinal further states that the untoward events
that ensued not only rendered it impossible to put
this plan into execution, but evsn subjected pious
establishment to further extraordinary forced con-
tributions, and that consequently the Holy Father
has deemed it meet to reduce the contribution of the
clergy to 100,000 scudi (500,000 f.) a year, to be le-
vied not only on the property of the regular clergy,
but upon all religious and pious foundations, benefice,
commandership, nunneries, hospitals, monts de piete
orphan asylums, &c. All such corporations, none ex-
cepted, are in consequencesummoned to send in wi!hin
20 days an exact detailed account of all their liabili-
ties and assets, in order to enable the Government
fairly to distribute the charge each establishment will
have to hear

The Opinion of Turin of the Bth quotes a circular
letter, addressed by the Bishop of Novara to the
clergy of his diocese, warning them not to contribute
to the subscription now in progress for a monument
to be raised in commemoration of the passing of the
Siccardi law, by which ecclesiastical privileges have
been abolished.
