Before his removal to Imola, Mastai, Fe-
refill, the new Pope, held the Office of Arch
bishop of Spoleio. During his residence
there, one of those revolutionary outbreaks
occurred, that have so often been vainly at
tempted in the Roman Provinces. One of
the chiefs had been arrested and, in a do
miciliary visit 10 his house, a sealed package
was found, which, with the full conviction
OF The guilt OF the prisoner, also contained a
list Of all the officers in the service, and others
who were to take part la the conspiracy they
were, in a word, the outlines of the future
revolutionary regiments. The Commissary
of the Police, delighted with his discovery,
fastened to inform the Archbishop. sim
deed ~ said he, this is, truly, a most pre-
cious discovery. But where is the package
" Here 1t is" said the Commissary. "Since
these papers are so important, Hope you will
entrust them with mel must send them, at
once, 10 Rome" Give them 20 me,'i said
the Archbishop, "let me attend to that. -
The Commissary was, at length, prevailed
upon, by his earnestness. He gave him the
package, convinced that the Archbishop wish
ed to turn it to his own account with the Co.
vernment; but, before he had begun TO form
this opinion, the package was already in pie
ces, and the fragments in the fire. Fear
nothing" said Masai, with the utmost salts
faction, to the frightened Comlnissary, "
will take the whole responsibility. You have
done your duty as Commissary, to the Co.
vernment; | have but done mine, as Arch
bishop. Are there not enough, already, COM
promised by this rebellion? Are there not
already enough families in tears - This no.
bic act of confidence in the loyalty of the peo-
pie of his diocese was followed by all the sue
cess it so well deserved.
1t Is related that, a few days ago, several
young men from Bologna, on their way to
Rome, were stopped at Ponte Molle, and,
after having their baggage examined, they
were forbidden TO enter Rome, but command
ed TO return home. On their return to b.
logna they complained to Cardinal Oppizzoni,
the bishop of that town, who fastened to lay
their treatment before The Pope. Two days
after the Governor of Rome having come to
duties, as usual, in the presence of the Pope,
his highness asked him if he had nothing es-
pecial to tell him. NO. replied Lord Ma
siml. "How is it about those Young men
you prevented from coming to Rome!" The
Governor attempted to Justify himself, alleg-
ing that he had found in their papers, some
eatires and sOnnets against the Government.
What folly !" exclaimed his highness.-
" You know very well that if you were to
examine your own baggage you would find
the same; it is high time all this should end,
and that there should be shown some little
respect for personal liberty. l hope this is
the last time | shall ever receive any such
complaints" This single instance shows
how much f~irlnness is requisite on the part
OF the Pope, 10 carry out fully his good in
t%entions. 1t is to be hoped that Providence
will sustain him and give him the necessary
courage.
