FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

GREAT BRITAIN. The cholera appears to be
decidedly on the decrease in London if not through
out the Kingdom. Up to the l4th December, in.
elusive, the whole number Of cases In Great
Britain was 23l7; deaths l077; recoveries 406;
still under treatment 500. Only four or five cases
day now occur in London, and all fear OF it has
subsidized.
The United States frigate st. Lawrence arriv-
ed at Southampton on the Sd OF December. The
commander and officers were complimented with
asplendid dinner, given by the Mayor and Cor.
poration OF the city, on the 18th.
IS POSTAL TREATY. The much vexed ques-
ton of postage between this country and the
United States is finally agreed uDon. Last night
the treaty was signed by Lord Palmerston, on
the part her Britannia Majesty, and Mr. Ban
croft, as the Representative of the United States
the treaty is one OF complete reciprocity and equal
ity.
ITALY. Flight of the Pope. Since the as
sassination OF NJ. Rossi, the Pope remained close
prisoner in the Quirinal. The business of the
government went on in the Pope's name, but
without his sanction, such state of things could
not long continue, and the members OF the dip
omatic corps, as it is said, arranged plan for the
liberation of his Holiness, of which the immedi.
ate execution was entrusted to the Count de Spaur
the minister of Bavaria. AT an early hour, pre-
vioUsIy agreed to, the Pope retired pto private
room for the purpose of apparently conversing
with the gentleman just named, and there be dis
guised himself in the livery of the Bavarian le-
cation. In few minutes the carriage OF the
minister was called, and the Count de Spaur, fol-
lowed by the Pope, disguised as his servant, de-
scended to his carriage the Pope mounting on the
box alongside the coachman. The artifce sue
ceeded-no suspicion arose either in the Quirinal
or the outward guards, and the good old man was
enabled to breathe the air Of liberty. Immedi-
ately on arrival at the residence OF the Bavarian
minister, another transposition was made. The
Pope took off the livery suit and dressed himself
in the usual costume of the minister's chaplain,
or Gumonier, and M. de Spaur having already
given notice of his intention of going to Naples,
and received passports from the government post
horses were soon procured, the Count and his
supposed chaplain took their places in the car
rage, and then happily cleared the gates of Rome
1t was some time before the escape of the Pope
was discovered.
The Count de Spaur, with his eyeiend charge
crossed the frontier in safety and arrived at Gaera
large town, the first in the Neapolitan territory
The Pope left the Quirinal on the evening OF the
oath, and arrived al Gaeta on the night of the
25th.
Rome continued tranquil on the 9Th instant -
In the evening of that day the deputation sent
by the Chambers and the Municipality to invite
the Pope TO return to Rome, left that capital for

A YANKEE ECLIpSEn.

On Thursday evening as MIR. Jeremiah Hig-
gins, from the town OF Litch6eld, CT, was les.
urely strolling along Broadway, he was accosted
by very gentlemanly locking individual, who
very politely inquired il ne would not like to see
the eclipse OF the moon little in advance OF the

and, as matter of course he consented to be

Broadway; where they INDUCED in sundry plates

the stranger asked Mi. Higgins il he was pre-
pared TO look at the eclipse, and receiving an
answer in the affirmative, they proceeded arm in
arm to an opposite corner, where the proprietor
OF mammoth telescope was stationed with the
apparatus, which was open to the inspection of
all at the remarkable low sum OF six and quar-
ter cents per head. Mr.. Higgins "planked the

/. D. The conduct Of Compton and Her
bertrequires no explanation. Having,
mall things secular, served tho crown
with zeal and fidelity, they had incur.
red The royal displcasure by refusing to
beemploycd as tools for the destruction
of their own religion. Both of chem
had learned by experience how soon
James forgot obligations, and how bitter
lyhe remembered what it pleased him
tolsconsider as wrongs. The pre-
late had, by nm illegal sentence, been
suspended from his episcopal func-
tions, The admiral had, in one
hour, been reduced from opulence to
penury.. The situation of Churchill was
widely different. lie had been raised
blythe royal bounty from obscurity to
se'ninence, and from poverty to wealth.
! Having started in life a needy ensign,
hewassnow, in his thirty-seventh year, a
major-general, peer Of Scotland,
peer Of England; he commanded troop
ofrlifc-guards; he had been appointed to
several honorable and lucrative Offices:
and, as yet, there wasno sign that he
had lost any part Of the favor to which
he owed so much. He was bound to
James, not only By the common obliga-
tons of allegiance, but by military hon
or, by personal gratitude, and, as APP
peared to superficial observers, by the
strongestIties of interest. But Churchill
was no superficial observer. Hc knew
1sesXactLy what his interest was. IF his
nhster were once at full liberty to en-
ploy Papists, not a single Protestant
would be employed. For time, few
highly favored servants of the crown
might possibly be exempted from the
general prescription, in tho hope that
they would be induced to change their
religion. But even these would, after
a short respite, fall one by one, as Ro-
chester had already fallen. Churchill
might, indeed, secure himself from this
danger. and might raise himself still
higher in the royal favor by conforming
to the church Of Rome; and it might
seem tlat one who was not less distln-
