Corn Bill.whlch must necessarily be tutrodueed in the ap-
proaching Session ? Hoare they to arrange with their
,colleagues on the endless topics of Ireland and Catliolic
Emancipation? In short, whether the contemplatedar-
raugement be the continuance of 'the present Cabinet,
with the introduction of two or three of the seceders of
last year, or a Tory Ministry retaining a few liberal
statesmen, as Lord LANSDOWN or Nfr. IlusicissoN, we
cannot but think the plan subject to-serious difficul:ie.
It was observed by MT.' CANNING, in his memorable
speech on s?nding assistance to Portugal, that should
Europe again be involved in a contest it would be a
war not of nations, but of principles, and consequently
one of the most tremendous that had ever agitated
the world. The same spirit which may one day in-
fl me into war the people of the Continent, is that
which now dividers our own country. Never had
we more occasion to lament the absence of the
master-mind of CANNING than at the present moment;
never had we more reason to wish for an architect of a
discerning and powerful genius, who, nut of the dis-

ROME, DICZMIER.

It will be recollected that Mon sig note Ignacio Ronaldi,
Bishop of Urbino, who was sent last year to Sardinia
and Visilatore Apostolic°, was there suddenly taken ill,
with his three assistants, and that withia a few months
all four died. This event naturally gave rise to various
'conjectures at Rome. It is now again in contemplation
to send a Visitation to that island ; but the Government
has not yet been able to determine on the choice of a
person. At length it has selected the Abbe Dalbertino
Bellenghi, Procurator General of the Camaldolenset,
who, however, naturally feating the fate of the preceding
Visilatore has not yet been prevailed upon to accept the
office, though he.has been very much urged, not only
by Cardinal Zurla, but by the Pope himself.
We learn from the legations, that the Papal Corn.
missioners sent hither have at length succeeded in die•
covering the authors of all the crimes and murders
which have taken place in Romagna for some years past,
even of the attack upon Cardinal Rivarola, and that
they are all to be brought to trial. Yet it seems, even
on this occasion, as it the arm of justice were withheld
on a side where the humane and religious sentiments ot
his Holiness w ill yield before the letter of the law. For it
affix med, that the investigations, which have already
continued two years, have shewn such an unexpected
connection of the criminals among all classes, that
if the tribunals were to decide according to law and
justice, there is no family of any distinction the repu-
tation of which would not suff.r directly or. indi.
Italy. These considerations, as well as the innumerable
declamations and remonstrances which the Government
has received on 'this subject have, it is said, made his
Holiness resolve to suffer only the really great crimi-
nals and conspirators to undergo their merited punish.
ment, but to pardon all the others, particularly those
who sere not immediate participators, and even to con-
ceal their names from the public. Fur this reason not
the slightest pay icular is known at Rome respecting
the course of the proceedings; it has merely transpired
that an uncommonly great number of persons of all
classes have been arrested, and that there have been se•
veral sequestr.ations of property.
Fur this year past there have been reports of new
intrigues of the Car bonar i in the kingdom of Naples, and
particularly in Sicily. It was even affirmed that emis•
saries had been sent from that country to the Roman
and Tuscan States; the arrest of whom, it was added,
had acquainted the Magistrates with various particulars
of their associations. The arrest of a certain Cavalier,
Guisippe Basile de Luna, who had lived here for many
years as a Neapolitan refugee, seen,s to have thrown me
light upon the affair. An extraordinary courier has latei
been sent to Naples, who, it is said, has to drlirei
secret documents which interest the Government. It
is not known whether the dispatches of this couri,
relate to the affair of Basile, but it is supposed that the
do. This courier is the inspector of the Minister
Finance, a circumstance which might perhaps givt
reason to suppose that his mission was of a very diffe'
rent nature.
