afraid Of disturbance" Then the people being ma.
turally excited and angry the Governor sends word
to the Pope that there is excitement without let

on the posts The most absurd rumors are cir

instead Of rising as their enemies had hoped went
to ask counsel OF their lately appointed Senator,
Corsini. He went TO the Pope, found him ILL., en-
tirely ignorant OF what going on and much
distressed when he heard it. He assured the
people they should be satisfied, that since they had
not been allowed TO come to him, he would so to

For the moment the difficulties are healed as
they long will be whenever the Pope directly shows
himself to the people. Then his generous alice
tionate heart will always act and act on them dis
sipatine the clouds which others have been toiling

In speaking of the intrigues of these emissaries
of the power Of darkness, will mention that there
is report here that they are trying toget an ltalsn
Consul for the United States, and one in the en-
plovment OF De Jesuits. This rumor seems ridicu

the Catholic influence in the United States is not
quite uniounded, and that there is considerable
hope of establishing new dominion there nope
the United States will appoint no Italian no Catho'
lie. to a Consulship. The representative OF the
United States should be American our national
character and interests are peculiar and cannot De
