cept two, the one to take place on the
Sunday after Corpus Christi Day, and
the other TO be left to the choice OF the

FROM Rome 10 the 9Th Of May, (given
in the Paris papers) gives the following
curious statement:

sen between the Cabinets of Berlin and
St. Petersburgh, which promises to end
in the formation of close alliance be-
tween Austria, Prussia, and England"

the Park and Tower guns were fired at
