An extraordinary supplement of the Diario an-
nounces that the evacuation of the Roman States
took place on the 15th of July. The ministers of
Austria, of France, of England, of Prussia, of
Russia, and of Sardinia, have written to the re-
spective consuls of their nations in the Roman
States, a circular in which they announced to them
that the powers guaranteed the order of things es-
tablished, and invited them to contradict all con-
trary reports which might be spread.—Gazette de
France.

Rosin, JULY 11.—The following confidential
note has been addressed by Cardinal Bernetti to
all those charged with power in the Roman States :
—" The liberating Austrian army will quit the
States of the Pope ; this event has caused in the
paternal heart of the Holy Father acute grief, be-
cause he fears that order will be again disturbed.
I authorise you to take all the preventive measures
possible, and I grant yea, in that respect, in the
name of the Holy Father, unlimited powers.
Above all,strihe at the beginning with vigour, in
order that the evil may not be propagated. Know,
besides, that his Imperial Majesty, the Emperor
of Austria, has left at the disposal of the Holy
Father 24,000 men, a part at Comaccbio, a part at
Ferrara, and thereat on the confines of the Roman
States. General Frimont has caused to be remitted
Ito the Commissions of Bologna and Romagna
8,000 muskets, which have been distributed to the
men devoted to the Holy Father. You will also
redouble your zeal and vigilance ; send daily re-
ports upon the state of your district, and point out
the means by which you are served, in order to
satisfy the intentions of the Holy Father. In the
case of prevention, or arrestation of several persons,
avoid all publicity, and give advice immediately to
the Governor of Rome.—Given at the Office of the
Secretary of State, this 9th of July,
THODIAS BERNETTI, CardinaL

The letter of Prince Leopold, upon his apparent
renunciation of 50,0001. sterling (1,250,000 fr.)
which he receives annually from the English Go-
vernment, just confirms the thoughts which we
have never ceased to express upon the character
which the son in law of George IV. is called to
play in Belgium. The terms of that letter merit to
be weighed. "My intention (says the Prince), is
to remit into the hands of Commissioners whom I

shall name, the whole of the annuity which I re-
ceive from this country, in order that they shall
make the following use of it •
All these objects fulfilled, my wish and desire are,
that the rest shall he paid into the treasury of
Great Britain." Tfius. the pension will continue
to be paid ; it will be received by the personal
agents of the Prince, who, after having deducted a
part for the expenses of the palace and the
domains which Leopold preserves in England,
these gentlemen whom he will continue to cor-
respond with, will remit themselves the remainder
into the chest of the English treasury. If Leopold bad
been seriously destined to occupy the throne of
Brussels, no doubt the English ministry would

have exacted that the state should be definitively
discharged from the weight of the annual rent
which the Government paid to the Prince. The
expenses of Claremont, and the other debts of
Leopold, cannot be so considerable, but that the
Ring of Belgium could find means to pay them.l
It can then be eeen in the maintenance of the pen-
sion of Leopold, and in the annual payment which
will continue to be made to him, at least, in great
part, forced by war to quit his capital, he will
retain the tranjuil position which he has consented
to sacrifice for the moment to the policy of his
adopted country."
We learn that a person named Chignard, who
has acquired a frightful celebrity in the police, has
been recently dispatched to Edinburgh with a
mission. Chignard is a man of colour; be is about
50 years of age, and has upon the left cheek a
large scar, in consequence of a wound %%Mai he
received in the glorious days. Ile speaks English
and Dutch well. It is not believed that he is
under his ow n name at Edinburgh.—Le Quo-
tidienne.

Tit E KIN G'S SP E ECII .—The Tribune, after a long
tirade against the speech cf the King, concludes :
" We will close these remarks—for indignation rises
in our hearts at the thought of Belgium and of Po-
land. Oh! this Ministry ofciolence and of fear! What
has it done for our foreign relations ! Nothing for
Poland, our Sister! In the interior what has it
done to indemnify us?—preached up hatred in
place of peace and union ! It has pursued the
Patriots—keeps them in prison—dismissed all who
took part in the Revolution of July ! Let it persist
then ; and let Belgium be torn from us : let
our strong places be dismantled : let the Rhine
as a boundary again be lost : let England engraft
her power on our weakness—let it persist, and letl
the succession of the peerage be held sacred : let
the budget be heaped up again to its 1,500 mil-,
lions: let patriotism be expelled from all public
duties : let the tri-coloured cockade be insulted in
our streets : let the military forces be upheld in
an imperfect state : let Poland at last perish :
and then the Ministry, born of the revolution, may
celebrate its anniversary !
