the amnesty granted by the Pope with the greatest mag
nfcence, the evenings of Saturday and Sunday the
nth and 18th inst The of the festivities was the
splendid Piazza del Populo Those among your readers
who have visited Rome will remember It's form 1t is
approached from the town by three great convergng
Streets the centre one beng the Sorso opposite 10 Wheh
is the only egress the other side, the gate from which
the square takes It's name On the right side two IRON
gates lead TO the series of terraces which end with The
Pincian hill Just within the square, and facing the Cor
so, splendid monument had been erected, surmounted
by colossal statue of his Holiness On The iet oil the
square preparations had been made for magnheeni DIS
play OF fireworks which vast multitude would nave
witnessed from the to Monte Plnco AS the time
drew for the celebration of the festivals symptoms
of great uneasness were observable among the people
vague underlined feeling seemed TO pervade all classes
that some serious tumut would ARISE, though from what
quarter could tell AT the same time the execu-
tive authorities seemed parayzed Cardinal GiZZ having
rendered his resignation, had ceased In manner TO act
and the cardinal Secretary OF State, Ferreit,
anxously expected from the provinces The governor OF
Rome, M Grassen, was perfectly Inactive for reasons
which will Immediately appear Thursday the 10Th inst,
day which will not easily be forgotten by the in
habitants OF Rome The popular ement had reached IT'S
heights the mysterious terror which pervaded the city
showed itself in thousand ways, when channel and
direction given to the feelings of the citizens by the
sudden appearance on the walls OF many irequented
throughfares of handbills, some written, and some
roughly printed, containing list of names, with sim
pie statement that the persons mentioned were the
as it may seem, this anonymous (and to this moment
mysteroas( announcement seemed to give cew to the
up, light up and lay bare the dark and treacherous
preparations of an enemy. Most of the names were
those of persons connected with the gendaerle or po
Lice the characters alluded to above active secret
agents under bygone system. The evaporation was
tremendous The police endeavored in vain TO tear
down the popular prescription lists IN the lew instances
in which they succeeded they instantly replaced by
fresh copies collision between the people and the
police seemed nevtable for the latter were considered
as implicated in the charges against their officers.
To resume it may be asked what were the Interior OBJ
iects of the conspraors The answer yet must remain
perhaps 9annot 9e @ gwen without es
here Isl that the Pope was to be inundated into flight

authors of the bloody ragedy) and that Austrian inter
venton to have restored the good old times for the
public cormorants.
But at this critical moment Prince Borghese and Duke
Nassmo FASTENED 10 the palace and, throwing themselves
at the Pope's feet, eneaed him not to delay one hour
permitting the organization OF the National Guard which
had been already promised Their request granted;
the news flew through the city, and, if by magic,
corps de gde formed III every quarter of the city,
amidst the cheers of the spectators. In fact the most
respectable citizens FASTENED to enrol and receive their
arms-nobes, advocates, physicians, artists, and shop
keepers, below this rank being admissible Patrols
paraded the streets during the night and tranquility and
confidence again restored In the meantime, at the
instance OF deputation from the inhabitants, the tees
for the anniversary OF the amnesty were put of by the
Secretary of State
By degrees the reality of the fearful plot with its afro
cious designs, before the public One of the per-
denounced in the handblls of the 18TH Col Fredd
OF the carabniers, (poce force) fled that night after CIV
his papers, most of which burnt before attempt
to seize them made. Cardinal Minardi, head agent
q the secret police was nowhere to be ouna but n
ed owing TO the activity of the guard and the intel
lgent zeal of the popular leader Cceroyacchio who got
the first clew to real discoveries and at the risk of his
life has successfully followed it up Most of the
arrested natives OF the suburb OF Faenza, in the
province of Romagna suburb which has already
shown discomfort and proceeded to turbulence since the
commencement OF this Ponficate In small bodies, or
singy several hundreds OF these desperadoes had made
large sums OF money Gas much as 40 or 50 doars3 of
foreign coinage, and setto the blades of which
was inscribed the popular cry, "Viva Pho Mono -
These sicarii have mingled with the crowd on
the evening of the concert and fireworks; strong
bodies to have been posted at each approach TO the
square umult was to have been made the sentinel at
the gate to have been struck downs and the daggers
of the hired rufans to have had full and ndscrm
mate play upon the defenceess and bewidered inhabt
ants. To use the expression of one of them, blood
to have flowed that night, which the midday of
the could not have dried up AT the same time
the immense en Or stores, in different parts OF the

been rfed and sacked. The letter s. not then under

destined for signal vengeance
The Times of Aug 9Th comments follows the
above intelligence
The conduct of the upper classes and of the govern
men seems TO have been manfu and prudent that OF the
license. But taking into consideration the weakness OF
the Pontifca government the exctabity of the popua
on and the intense adherence OF the foreign power to
which these Vaccinations attributed If is evident that
the Roman States condition not far removed from
actual revolution, and that the fire which burns ercey
the eternal city threatens to kindle conlagration
throughout Italy There is. happily, indication ofany
want of confidence the part of the people towards the
national governments of Italy Plus TX has unlimited |
power The minds and hearts OF all his subjects and the
court Of Turin, which said to have relapsed week
two ago under the influence of Austria, has, on the
contrary, held its ground, maintained its minister Villa
profered by Prince Metternch The real danger OF Italy
is not anarchy, but inervention and the confusion
which may occur IN these exciting alarms only
inasnuch il may lead to abuse of foreign power, |
and the introduction of foreign force
In the present case, there already indirect evidence
amounting to strong presumption that the conspiracy
which has been thus providenally defeated in Rome by
the energy of the people perfectly well known the
Austrian police and assisted if not contrved by Austrian
Vaccinations and money Wherever these disturbances
have occurred in Italy, it has been found that the ring
leaders were in possession OF considerable Aus

connexions with the secret police under the former regime
Upon the very day he 18th JULY when the conspiracy

these troops were required reinforcement 10 the ct
