ELECTION OF !'OI'E.

' The following is a copy of a private letter recently
received froth Rome. October 150.—1 a the recent Con-
clave, I can assure you, the Cardinals have not foricieed
any of that inviolable secrecy which has so proverbial!):
distinguished Cormer sittings; for it has rehired all the
tact and manceuvring of toy insatiate appetite for poli-
tical secrets, to get at all into the Arcana. What Ido
send, however, may be relied upon.
The chief Powers interesting themselves in this last
election, were Austria aio. France; Russia was too dis-
tant; England was too independent; and- Spain and
Naples too much inst of feather to take any active share
in the canon's,. Hence an occurrence which has hereto.
fore almost plunged Curope istto war, has passed over;
without without producing, any violent political agitaitdd. . '
The influence. of France had been considerably-weak.'

This cliang.e took from Gonsalvt much df his power to
assist the views'cif France, and in conferring it 'spurt-hie
successor, they *ere not quite appropriated to the same
Interest. Austria overacted her part; for her offers of
assistance and supporeto the States bf the Church, were;
too liberal and unreserved, and hid so eeidently the ap.
.pearasice of simony, that the -dinelive were alassued
lest their power should be curtailed by. the very 'pro-
mises made by AuStria for their. appirent aggrandise-
ment. Independently of these tut naive compesidrsw
there was a confederacT'of interests toCtn boort the views

THE EVENING STAR. .

LONDON.

Vence, less than ever was known of the probable result
of the sitting.
Forty-nine Cardinals atter:led the Vatican ; and by
the Canon of the Election, the approbation of two-thirds
of the Cardinals present was necessary to constitute the
validity of the appointmentto the Tiara. Sevaroli's excess
over the prescribed number of votes was under three,
which :hewed, as he was not directly supported by
France, that the prize was anybody's, if skilfully sought.
Cardinal Della Genga, the present Pope, stood very
hip in the estimation of his brother Cardinals. It was
this elevated character which secured his success. A
very short time before Della filenga's election, even to
the last night, he was scarcely spoken of as the future
Pope by the secluded inhabitants of the Vatican; but
his election appeared to be so identified with the welfare
of the States of the Church, so consonant to the pro-
sperity of the See, and so congenial to the interests of
their religion, that in defiance of the intrigues of Austria
and France, each supported by the minor States, a very
small majority succeeded in placing at their head the
Cardinal best calculated to ensure the stability and main-
tain the independence of the See.
Since the decision, all parties seem reconciled to the
event. Della Genga is characterised by his freedom
from bigotry and superstition ; and in this election,
England, who ought to be particularly gratified with
the result, has not suffered from the preponder anee of
continental influence; nor has the Holy Alliance strength-
ened itself. The Pope is in no way indebted for his
chair to foreign assistance ; he commences his reign free
from those shackles so prejudicial to the accession of
nearly all his predecessors, and is free to exercise his
uncontrouled functions for the benefit of all.

Lisbon Papers to the ‘2d instant reached us this morn-
ing. Their intelligence principally relates to Spain, and
is interesting. It appears that the Spanish Army at
Puerto Real and Chiclana had manifested such symp-
toms of revolt that General BoutotoNT deemed it neces-
sary to disarm them. Tw•o Proclamations had been
issued at Cadiz ; the one ordering all strangers to repair
to their respective Consuls, in order to their being regis-
tered ; and the other calling on all masters of houses to
make a return of. the stranger; lodging w ith them, by
eleven o'clock on the 13th ult. and threatening arrest
and punishment in all cases of disobedience. The fol.
luv. ing are extracts:
