There has jut been constituted a new commission
specially charged to occupy itself with new orgauic
laws, destined to devclope the principles of the male
proprio of the 7th September, 1849. It is not doubted
that this act, publishild;with so much solemnity, commu-
nicated to the diplomatic body, commented on in the
French Assembly, and in the Catholic and Conservative
journals, will become the fundamental basis of a new
order of government. The commission, of which Car-
dinal Antonelli is a member, and who desired to call it
a Consulta of State, 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 administration."
Letters from Rome represent the social state of
that city as most deplorable. ANTONELLI' the

reign of terror, and NARDONI is his FOUQUIER

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;
ogliecitsthreer streets; shes house, where
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

remained a prisoner eight months. During this time
her husband and her brother-in-lawwaswhe re she
again
were ar-
rested, and after being kept •
in prison some
time were released, no charge b • eing 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
NARDUCCI was honoured by a call from the valet of
the President of Sacra Consulta, Monsignor MANTE-
uccr, who made to 'her verballythe f- •
following com-
munication :—" 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 NABnoNr, was
asked by the magistrate if he knew any Mazziniens
(it is thus the clerical party designate the Republi-
cans) ? ANTONINI replied " Yes; a great number."
" Name them," continued the magistrate. Wil-
lingly," replied ANTONINI, " with the exception of
some monks, some priests, and the frequenters of
the lionifazi club, the entire population of the Ro•
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 :
" FERDINAND, &c.,
" Art. 1. l'te printing and the publication of works,
writings, pamphlets, journals, flysheets, and others, as
well as the engraving and publication of prints, litho-
graphs, sculpture, and plastic objects, are forbidden with-
in the states of the King of Naples without previous
authority.
"Art. 2. la no case shall authority be
granted for prints, writings, or other works spe-
cified in tho preceding article, and which
might give oinnee to our holy religion or its
ministers, to public morality, to our royal person, or
that of the princes of our family, our Government and
its conduct (as well as respects its interior as its exte-
rior policy), the -public functionaries,
.f
rausi families, and their dignity and
persons of foreign sovereigns, their
representatives; and lastly, the honour of private families.
" Art, 3. The authority mentioned in Art. 1 is, saving
the exceptions contained in the following articles, attri-
buted in our states within the Phare to the council-gene-
ral of public instruction, and in our states beyond the
Pim° to the committee of public instruction.
" Art. 4. In conformity with the coacordai in force
with the Holy See, the archbi,bops nod bishops are to
be allowed, in the exercise of their ministry, to publish
pastoral
their letters, or instructions in ecclesiastical
matters,"
The last article says that persons contravening the
law will be subject to the penalties laid down in the
penal cods. that the
