On resuming his seat; deputy rose,
and in loud voice declared -"The Ro-
man Assembly is open!'' Prince Charles
Bonaparte then rose and exclaimed -
"Long live the Republic -
Soon after, the following proclamation
was issued:- .,.1.s.s
Romans--A great act has been complet-
ed. The National Assembly of your le-
climate representatives. having assembled.
the sovereignty of the people being recog-
nized: the only form Of government that
could be proper for US was that which
made our fathers great and glorious. This
the Assembly has decreed, and the Roman
Republic has been this day proclaimed
from the capitol. Every citizen who is
not an enemy to his country, must imme-
diately and loyalty adhere to this govern
ment, which. originating in the free and
universal vote Of the representatives ofthe
nation, will follow the paths Of order and
justice. After SO many ages, We again
possess country and liberty !; let US prove
ourselves worthy of the gift which God
has sent us, and the Roman Republic will
be eternal and happy.

The following speech Of the Pope at the
festival Of the Publication Of the Virgin,
though spoken before the declaration Of
republic Of Rome, will be read with inter-

Every time that find myself called
upon, by divine mercy, to preside at those
sacred meetings where are discussed, with
the aid Of Holy Spirit, the decisions on the
acts Of heroes Of the church Of Jesus
Christ, l feel my heart fill with JOY and
confidence, and at the same time with adj
miration for the marvellous dispositions Of
God, who, with the intentions suggested
by his love towards mankind, instils from
time to time his divine spirit into the
minds Of some Of his servants, in order
that by declaring war against hell, they
might assail the enemies Of truth, and fight
against them the fight Of the Lord. The
idea consoles me in my present suferings;
it opens my heart to that confidence in the
Lord, that he will raise up amongst his
ministers new, good and faithful servants,
who will devote themselves to enlighten-
ing and instructing the people and remove
from them the wound which is every day
increasing, to their great injury and peril.
Pride, impotence Of all subordination, and
the strong passion Of some Of them for
command and domination, prepare for
them yoke more heavy and more disas-
trous than that which they have wished to
destroy. And since that spirit Of pride
directly attacks God, it may happen that

bel. r1ump,e prayer is the most effica-
cious remedy to alleviate this present
malady prayer, which, beginning under
the domestic family roof, afterwards ex-
tends to the house Of God. The Holy
Mary offers us in the solemnity ofthis day
an example Of the manner in which we
ought to resist the pride ofthe age name
ly, by humility of acts and prayer. May
ottr supplications, modelled from so high an
example, merit her mediation, in order
that the Lord may hasten the accomplish
ment Of his mercies turning promptly his
paternal regards on the misery of all his
children, and especially on those who, in
the capital Of the christian world have al
lowed themselves to be led away by the
seductive words Of men who, in calling
them to happiness, have miserably deceive
ed them. Oh Rome! Rome! God is my
witness that | every day offer up my voice
to the Most High, and PROSTATE, as sup
plant, ardently pray that he may put an
end to the scourge which desolates thee,
and which every day weighs more heavily
on thee! | pray him to put an end 10 the
suggestions Of those perverse doctrines,
and to remove from thy walls, and from
all the State those political speakers who
abuse the name Of the people. ! also sup
plicate him to protect and save the King,
the royal family, and this kingdom from
the general commotion. His Majesty
merits it by his piety, and his people BY
their faith.
Since this address was made, republic
has been proclaimed at Rome, and The
Pope deposed. A writer in noticing the
declaration Of republic in Rome, on the
9th ult., says: f
The next day great rejoicings were had
throughout the city. Steps were taken at
once to raise an army and a new flag,
composed Of green, red, and white, adopt
ed. The name Of the pope is suppressed
in all public documents, and that Of the
Roman Republic substituted. The new
government ordered TIE Deum in St Pc
ter's in honor Of the Republic The clergy
and cardinals en- masse, refused to assist,
and their places were supplied by soldiers!
Some persons have taken up the notion,
that in consequence Of the late 4th of
March falling on Sunday, and the post
ponement of the Inauguration Of President
Taylor until Monday, the 9th, the country
was without a President on the 4th.--
Others, again, suppose that the President
pro tenn. Of the Senate was President in
fact on the fourth day Of March. The
National Intelligencer presents the matter
in its true light, in the annexed article:
