LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL•

ITALY.
Letters from Rome of the 4th of August, represent
matters as assuming daily a more unfavourable and cheer-
less position. The conduct of a large faction of design-
ing, rather than enthusiastic men, has placed the city in
a state of considerable excitement, and has given rise to
serious apprehensions. On the Ist of August, the cham-
ber voted an address to the Pope, praying that instant
measures might be taken for the protection of Italian
independence, and stating, that it was necessary instantly
to enrol volunteers, raise supplies, and invite foreign aid.
This address passed the upper house with slight )ppo-
salon, and was presented by a deputation in the evening.
An edict from the Pope, which was torn down by thit
people, and not to be seen after eight o'clock in the morn-
ing, appeared on the 3d. This edict, however, and the
subsequent choice of a new ministry, appear to have Pro'
duced more tranquility • the guards were dismissed from
the Chigi-place, and the agitators broke up their sitting.
The new ministry was composed of
Corbolli Bussi, Foreign Affairs.
Count Fabbri, Interior.
Lauro Lauri, Finance.
Campello, War.
Galletti, Police.
Sturbinetti, Public Works.

According to the letter of the 6th, from Milan, the
