The Royal Mail Steamship Niagara, Capt. Ryre,

Halifax to Boston she experienced very thick and
unpleasant weather.

Instruction in Rome.
A successful insurreetion has taken place in the
CITY Of Rome accompanied with the deliberate
assassination Of Rossi, the Prime Minister, as he
aghted from his carriage at the entrance of the
Chamber of Deputies on the 18th ult On the fol-
lowing day the insurgents proceeded in a body to
the POpe's palace where they demanded new and
more democratic Ministry, and four other eonces-
sions all Of which the Pope at first refused to grant
Subsequently the citizens renewed their demands
to the Pope, and gave him an hour to consider,
after which, if not acceded to- they announced their
firm purpose to break into the Palace and put to
death every inmate thereof, with the single excep
ton Of his Holiness himself. As successful Fesis-
lance was not to be hoped for, Plus TX yielded,
and sent for Galletti, and with him arranged the
new Ministry in accordance with the demands Of
the people. Mamiani is appointed Minister Of For
eign Affairs Accounts from Rome up TO the even
ing Of the 10Th have been received at which time
there prevailed perfect tranquility. In the Depu-
ties, proposition had been made to assure his l1o-
illness Of the fidelity of that Chamber, but when put
to the vote, it was rejected. The instruction was
not very fatal, whatever may be its consequences
The number of persons killed was small but It
proved, nevertheless, that reaction had COM
meneed in Rome, and it can hardly fail to encour-
age the reactonary spirit every where else. The
revolt Of the people looks like ingratitude towards
prince who had first given vitality to the modern
spirit of reform throughout Europe The Pope had
shown most liberal disposition; he had destroyed
many abuses and he had popularlzed ms govern
ment. All delighted to honor and to praise him.
But he suddenly halted in his progress of reform
RESPONSIVENESS, it is said, reached him from con-
temporary sovereigns; and, like the King OF Prus-
sia his Parliament did not pull in harness. Con-
fined as the views of isolated Italians may be, they
have imbibed one correct notion, that Italian liberty
is dream without Italian confederation. Petty
azad national independence are utterly
| incompatible. The flight Of the Austrian eagle
darRens the sun of Italy; and unless Lombardy was
emancipated from Germanic control, the revival of
medieval or a central power were totally imposs-
BILE. The Pope refused to acknowledge the justice
or truth of these views; Rossi condemned them;
foreign friendly powers hesitated to adopt them.
While Rome refused and Florence hesitated, Ra-
| detzky trinmphed and people unable to combine
or fight, were told to rely on mediation The nom
military were not all satisfied that Italian indepen-
dence not attainabe by force; and the inhabi-
tants of the papa states, in their patriotic ardor,
failed to see that the popularity of their govern
ment stood in the way of confederation The
| prince is preate, the spiritual head of church
universal; and religion might be supposed to suffer
/ from an identity with nation liable to the friend
| ship and hostility Of other political powers M
Rossi very likely, appreciated these contingencies,
| and hence his unpopularity. The Roman people
only saw in him the disciple Of Guizot, the ally OF
monarchy. They in all probability believed In an
| alleged compact between Prussia, Austria, and
| Russia; and the enmity Rossi excited led to his
DEATH The double character Of the Pope-prince
| and prelate-tends to increase the danger and
already France has initiated movement which
may not stop at the mouth of the Tiber. Gen. Ia
vaipnac has sent ships and troops to protect the
Holy Father but dscaims all intention of political
interference. Austria may object to the presence
| of his Holiness in Paris, and feel called upon to
restore him, as temporal sovereign, to Rome. For,
tunately, Pic Nino has not left the Vatican, and
all is quiet in the Eternal City.
FRANCE.
In Paris, the only topic of interest, except the
Presidential contest, is the course which the Gov
eminent has adopted in consequence of the events
which have taken place at Rome. profound i'm
preston has been produced by he announcement
made in the Assembly, thai the Government had re-
solved to send expedition of $500 to CIvla Vec-
cha to secure the personal liberty of the Pope, and
| M. Corcelles who has been ordered on an eXtraor-
binary mission to Rome, has instructions to Offer
his Holiness an asylum in France. The Govern
ment dscaim any intention to interfere in the poll
wise than in securing the personal liberty OF the
Pope.
The excitement in regard to the approaching cleo
| ton continues to increase in Paris and Throughout
. | France The English accounts leave scarcely any
room to doubt that Louis Napoleon will be elected
/ by triumphant majority-but such is not the con
clusion which well-informed and unprejudiced per
sons arrive at in Paris. No one doubts that LOui
Napoleon viii receive the greatest number OF votes
but it is considered very doubtful whether he cal
! sactro 000 00n tUhiph il rpQnisitp before hi
! can be elected by the popular vote. Should tn
choice of President be thrown into the Assembly
there is not question that Gen. Cavaignac woul'
2 be elected by very large majority.
r Louis Napoleon has published a manifesto to tn
nation, which replete with fair and patriotic pro
misses, and which, it is presumed, will prove OF ma
, terial advantage toward securing his election La
maritime, it is now said, will not be candidate
but will throw his influence in favor of Cavalgnac
r The debate on the conduct Of Gen. Cavalgna
during the instruction of June terminated on Sal
!. urday night in the Chamber by an overwhelming
majority, expressing their approval Of the conduC
Of the General. The debate opened with an attac
\ by M. Barthelemy Saint HilaiFe, the Secretary 0
: the late Executive Government The prncipa
charges were that Gen. Cavaignac had disobeye
the orders of the government by neglectng TO brln
troops into Paris to prevent an Instruction; tbs
/ | when the insurrection had commenced, he cause
bv delay useless sacrifice of life, that be was az
tuated BY the ambition Of raising himself to suprem
power at the expense Of the character OF the Exc
eutive Government, and without regard to the ju'
interests of society, and the respect due to human
ity. Gen. Cavaignac defended himself with gres
Il skill against these attacks lie denied having dr
oheyed orders, and accounted for the delay
bringing troops into Paris, before the insurrecoI
10 by stating that there were no barracks to Teeey
= them As to the nature of his plans for putin
u down the insurrection, he observed that a so
der he must have been better Judge Of what WI
F, proper than the members Of the government ar
J. that he was actuaied by desire 10 prevent Il
le troops from being assaied in isolated position
le His plans, he added, had been adopted with Il
g, appreciation and concurrence Of Generals de L
or noriciers and Bedeau. Gen. Bedean declared th
~ that the statement Of Gen. Cavaignac was nerfeo
le " correct and as Gen. Bedeau is not in Office an
= il leading member of the moderate party in ii
National Assembly, his declaration produced il
mense effect in favor of Gen. Cavaignac Nj. lie
