ed on than the former. 1t may fairly be fuf-
peeted, that The bow firing of the mamelu.c
guard executed the will of the ferocious Italian
on this brave man. Indeed it is aierted, that
the account of the pretended fucide is 70 elunl-

is said, that France has not only gnaran-
teed the present Papsl territory but pro-
missed indemnities for the loss Of the
Comtat Penaisin in FRANCE, and for the
legacies Of Raveuna, Bologna, &c. in
Italy. In return his Holiness will pass.
six months in France, and during tina:
period, perform the cerrimony Of The en-
Peror's coronation and lay the final hand
to annihilate that schism, which notwith-
standing the concordat, Continues to trou-
bic the Gaiiieau church. The Pope will
be accompanied by twelve Cardinals and
Immediately after the Emperor's corona

mineral assumes the appearance OF re-
yular veins, and there IS not doubt
but this mine will be very productive.
A silver colored fossil is found atthis
mine, but not in such quantities as at
the Mine Burton. The mine, at pre-
sent, is unoccupied for the reasons be-
fore mentioned, and will remain so UNI
til 4 more favourable moment.

St. Gencvieve, is about 20 miles. The
mine may be considered as the proper
