The following intereRing article appears in
an Italian newspaper, dated Rome, May 5: 1t
is well known that iome months ago, at the re-
queft of the Firf Conful, French emigrant,
count Vergennes, was areited and iu,prfoned
IN the cattle of st. Angelo, but who appealed to
the privilege which he had acquired of citizen
OF Ruiiia. On this iubieet feveral couriers were
exchanged with the Ruiian court. In the mean
time the French government has expressly de-
manded that the iaid emigrant should be given
up to them, and the Pope was reiolved on COM
phance. On the other hand, the Ruilian mipif-
ter, count Sanin, has left Rome with all his fa-
mily, and his fecretary of embal1y, after having
previouily delivered declaration, that, from
that moment all communication ceafed between
him and his holinefs. 1t is iaid the count has
gone for Tufcany. So enraged are the RufiianS
at this conduct, that many individuals of that
nation have alto left Rome in difguR.'
1t is mentioned in letter from Vienna, dated
the 18th ult. that the Emperor of Germany had
coniented to acknowledge Bonaparteas his equal
IN dignity and it is further ftated, that Prince
ERerhazy would be appointed to proceed to
Paris rs Anbatiador Extraordinary, for the pur-
pole OF congratulating the new Emperor.

On Saturday, while Mr.. Livingston was
anticipating the Inequalities which he was to
enjoy at the Woburn fheep 1hearing, and the
agricultural meeting at Rolkham Hall, he re.
ceived his pahports, and an intimation from
government that his preftnce in this country
was not defrable. He accordingly left town
we underftand, Immediately and has probably
before this failed for France. We were the firi
IL
to MIR. Pitt, on Monday laft, related to this
gentleman, and we have had 6nce reafon to
think that our information is correct. 1t was
matter of furprife to many that man, who has
uniformly thewn an unfriendly difpofition to-
wards Ensland,; Yho had in the recenttinltance
of the charge againft MIR. Drake, betrayed an
indecent zeal to hatter Bonaparte, and to pro-
nounce the Britiih Minifter guilty upon exparte
evidence, fhould have come to England at fuch
crifiS. AL tho(e who regarded Mr.. Livingston
as an Object of fufpicion, and viewed him with
a Jealous eye, will applaud MIR. Pitt for this ACT
OF vlgour and energy. Others will recognize in
it too great resemblance to the conduct of
bonaparte, who in 1902, ordered the Imperial
Mmiiter, Count Stahremberg, to quit Paris in
twenty four hours, 5ecau!e he was iuffpet5ted OF
being hottie to the French government. For
our own part, we are not aware that any real or
ferrous danger was to be apprehended from his
preience, in country which is, from end to end
one blaze of loyalty, patriotifm and courage.
We think it would haye'been more dignifed to
have acted like the General, who took the fpy
to every part of the camp, fhewed him the fpirit
that his army breathed, the difcipline that pre-
vailed in it, aud fent him back with an Injunction
to tell the eneniyall that he faw.
Paris papers to the Sd init. have brought the
continuation, but not the concluion of the trial
of Moreau and the other prifoners. 1t will
furprife thofe who are acquainted with the forms
of criminal juifprudence in this country, the
only ~ ITEM of jurifprudence in the world which
reaching perfection as nearly as any human
fyftem can reach, deferves to be numerically adj
mired and adopted it will furprife thofe perfons
we FAY, to find that the only parole evidence
adducedis that of the prifoners themfelves they
all give evidence againf each other, and furnilh
the tribunal with all the particulars of their
views, their objects, and their operation.
The principal wtnefs againit Moreau, is a man Of
the OF ROLAND, who gave evidence to fome
expeditions aledged to havebeen ufed by Moreau :;
who, to queition put him by Pichegru, replied
that if they would ACT according to his opinion tie
eonfuls and the government of Paris mutt dfappear
and in that cafe he had party rong enough to obtain
the tys-Moreau pofhvely denied having
made ufe of any fnch expreions. ROLAND perfieed
IN aiertiug that he had Moreau then fuggefed that
ROLAND had endeavoured to criminate him, for the
purPofe of favng himfelf--a fuggehion, in all pro-
liability but well founded Picbegru was the only
man who could have coDtradeted ROLAND and Boz
naparte knowing this, took that Pichegru fliould
ddappear. Moreaus evidence is in the fame pirt with
his letter. The Polgnacs and Georges appear to con-
duct themielyes with great dignity aid hrmneis.
The following accouu, has been given in a morning
paper Of the departure Of Mr. Livingston; which we
think far more probable than the contradi6.c-; az
counts:
" Mr.. LivingRon left Lendon for Paris on Fri
