ROME.

Louis Napoleon has written a letter to Elgard Ney, his
aide-de-camp at Rome, which has been published there.
In this letter the President Napoleon says the Fr.-nca
republic has not sent troops to Rome to stifle Italian
liberty. He considers the temporal power of the Pope to
be possible only on the following conditions,—general
amnesty, secularisation of government, Code Napoleon,
and liberal government. The government states that an
aid-de-camp of the President of the Republic had set out
for Rome with instructions to General Rostolan to take
from the cardinals an administration of which they have
mades uch a dangerous use.
The exiled Jesuits have returned to Rome, and in large
numbers, are taking possession of the pulpits and con-
fessionals. _ _

THE ROMAN PRINTERS.—The typos of the eternal
city are famishing. The Cardinal Triumvirate have told
told them that a few hundreds had better starve than the
minds of the whole populace be poisoned by their produc-
tions 1 _ _ _

FRENCH LYING IN ROME.—The Piedmontese Gazette
says :—" It appears that the French anticipate a long
residence in Rome, as on the 17th an order was given for
11,000 beds for their use." Every sort of bed, no doubt ;
save and except a bed of roses and a bed of glory.

Colonel Ney has arrived in Paris from Rome.
General Oudinot has arrived at Marseilles.
Coulon, the well-known operatic dancer, died at Paris
a few days ago of cholera.
A stratum of coal, near the Nile, in Upper Egypt, has
been discovered. _ .

Oscar, King of Sweden, has turned teetotaller, and is
sending teetotal missionaries throughout his country to
detail the blessings of temperance.
Father Mathew has proved a renegade to bis philan-
thropy, by refusing to join the anti-slavery movement.
He does not want to lose his chance of curing the slave-
drivers of drunkenness. Considerate man ! _ _ _

The Cape of Good Hope papers mention that valuable
copper mines have been discovered in the neighbourhood
of Port Elizabeth, and that steps have been taken to
obtain Cornish miners to direct the working of them.
The Austrians took possession of Venice on the 28th
ult., without any exhibition of feeling either on the part
of the conquerers or the conquered. The victors marched
into the city without any ostentatious display.
The German papers announce to grocers and cheese-
mongers that upwards of 500 bales of the stenographic
reports and archives of the Ex-National Assembly of
Frankfort will be brought to the hammer, and sold as
waste paper, in order to defray outstanding expenses.
The Morning Post mentions a cavern of extraordinary
dimensions discovered in the vicinity of Bilboa. It con-
tains galleries of more than 500 paces in length ' • spacious
halls, large enough to hold five companies of soldiers ;
wonderful crystallisations, and a thousand of nature's
whims and oddities. _ _

NOT A BAD JUDGE.—A captain writes from Califor-
nia :—" The other day I had a judge on board, who said
he went to Oregon, appointedto that office by the United
States, but that the inducement to come here in search of
gold was so great that he gave up his appointment, with-
out leave or licence, and came to the diggings." We have
a high notion of this Yankee. Depend upon it, he had
heard the gold condemned, and thinking it in his heart
" pure," he went out of his way purposely. as a good
judge, to give it a fair trial.
