icgnaI of departure, and the Conclave is
slosed in, not to be re-opened until after the
election is consumated.
All this will pass on 18th inst, between
and 8 o'clock. The conclave is guarded
by Prince called a Marshall of the Con-
clave posted at the outer gates. The first
step IN the election will be taken on the
18th. All business is suspended during
the sitting ofthe Conclave; even the trbu
nails suspend Their proceedings; the only
authorities that retain their functions are
the Camerlingua, the Grand Pen;entary,
and the Vicar OF Rome. No order can be
issued from any other authority without
being specially confirmed by theassembled
Cardinals, which confirmation is transmit
ted Immediately to the Governor of Rome
and the Treasurer General. According
to the custom which has always been OBJ
served, the arrival of the Cardinal Legates
and foreign Cardinals will be waited tor
before the election IS seriously entered
upon. The first may arrive at Rome IN
time for the second or third day of the
Noren Didti and the others on the TWEEN
tieth day after the death ofthe Pope, conse-
quently there can be no ELECTION before the
the Goth inst, unless some unforeseen event
shall occur To constitute valid election
the candidate must obtain at least two
thirds of the votes, minus his own. Ii 40
Cardinals are assembled, he must have 81
votes, and ifthere be as, the majority must
be 81. If the Conclave be composed OF 81
members, the election will be completely
cannonical if one of the members has 80
votes without reckoning his own"
