year Oh MS age, having oeen porn
the year l765. In ordinary times
the decease of Pope would not occa-
sion any sensation in the political world,
but such is not the case in the present
instance. Pope Gregory the 10Th was
good, kind, benevolent man, sincere
in his religious principles, and more tole.
! rant than most others who held the KEYS
of ST. Peter.
The member of the Sacred College
most likely to succeed Pope Gregory is
the Cardinal Franzoni, President of the
Congregation of the Propaganda. He
is, however considered friendly to the
Jesuits, and will be of course fercely
opposed by France. Cardinal Franzo.
nj was born at Genoa, on the 10th of
December, l775, and is of course in the
7lst year of his age Cardinal Acton
might not improbably be selected, and
would in that case be only the second
Engllshman that has ever held the Pa
pal dignity. Great agitation continues
to prevail in different parts Of the coun.
try, especially in the Papal States, and
it is to be feared that outbreaks will
take place.

case, so long as the present able
Professors remain in the 1nstitu.
ton, and the quietness, order and
morality Of the Village of due
West is maintained.
