The Foreign News by the Steamer Niagara

whose news we gave In Mondays Photograph
ic Despatch, arrived in Boston on Saturday last
with seven days later intelligence from Europe
We give below an epitonle of her news as we
find It in the Boston Atlas:-
"A successful instruction has taken place in
the city of Rome. accompanied by the deliberate
assassination of Rossi, Prime minister, a. he
alighted from his carriage at the entrance of the
c lamher of Deputies, Oh the 10Th ult. On the
follow ing day the insurgents proceeded in a body
to the Pope's palace, where they demandc a
new and more Democratic Ministry and four
other concessions, Of which the Pope, at first, re-
fused to grant. Subsequently the citizens re.
newed their demands to the Pope, and gave him
an hour tn consider, after which. il not acccded
to, they announced their frrn purpose to break
into the Palace and put to death every inmate
thereof, with the single exception of his Holi.

to be hoped for, Plus TX. yielded and sent for

pie. Mamian is appointed Minister Of Foreign
Affairs. Accounts from Rome up to the eve.
ming Of the goth have been received, at which
time there prevailed perfect tranquility. IN the
Deputies, proposition had been mrle to assure
his Holiness of the fidelity Of that Chamber, but
when put to vote, it WAS rejected.
In Paris, the only topic of interest, except the
Presidential Contest, is the course which the
Government has adopted in consequence of the
events which have taken place at Rome. A pro-.
found impression has been produced by the an.
nonncelnent made in the Assembly, that the
Government had resolved 10 send an expedition
of $500 to Civita Verehia, to secure the person.
al liberty Of the Pope-and NJ. c ,rcelles, who
has been ordered on an extraordinary mission
10 Rome, has instructions to offer his Holiness
an asylum in France. The Government dis.
rclaim any intention to interfere in the political
affairs Of Rome, or Of employing troops other
wise than in securing the personal liberty Of the
Popc.
The excitement in regard to the approaching
election continues to increase in Paris and
throughout France. Toe English accounts
leave scarcely any room to doubt that Louis Ma.
poleon will be elected by a triumphant majority
hut such is not the conclusion which WE'LL
informed and unprejudiced persons arrive at in
Paris. No one doubts that Louis Napoleon will
receive the greatest number of votes, but i; is
considered very doubtful whether he can secure
the 100000 which is requisite before he can

choice Of President be thrown into the Assem-.

Cavaignac would BE- elected by ve:y large ma.

Louis Napoleon has published a manifesto to
the nation, which is repIete with fair and pat.
riotic promises, and which, it is presumed, will
prove of material advantage towards securing
his election. Lamartine, it il now said, will not
be candidate, but will throw his influence in
favor o: Cavagnac.
