The Pores Escape from his Capital in The Dis
sltiSc Of Seyrant.-lhc following account OF inc
Popc's flight from Rome into the Ncapotan terrific
rv is furnished by the Naples correspondent OF the
Times
since the assassination of NJ. Ross the Pope re-
NAMED a close prisoner in the Quirlnal; and the
Dulc d'Harcourt, the French Representative, was
compelled to reside in the palace, for the purpose OF
aioTdng the protection Of his person and nag TO the
sovereign Pontilf. The business of the Government
went on in the Popc'S name, but without his sane
ton and far did he carry his resolution not TO be
dictated 10, that he refused even to receive the re-
ports according to nvariablc custom, of the officer
Of the guard. Such state OF things could not long
continue, and the members OF the diplomatic corps,
as it is said arranged plan for the Liberation of his
Holiness, of which the immediate execution was en-
trusted the Count de Spaur the Minister OF Baya
ria. At an carly hour previously agreed to, the
Pope retired into private room Tor the purpose OF
apparently comforting with the gentleman have
Just named, and there he disguised hlmse II IN the
livery of the Rayaran legation. In few minutes the
carriage of the Minister called, and the Count
de Spaur, followed by the Pope, disguised as his
servant descended the grand staircase, entered the
carriage, the Pope mounting on the box alongside
the cJachman. The artilce succecded-no Suspicion
arose either in the Quirnal or the outward guards
and the rood old enabled TO breathe the AR
Of liberty. Immediately on arrival at the rcsidchc2
of the Bavarian Minister another transposltion was
made The Pope took off the livery suit and dress
ed himself in the usual costume OF the minister's
chaplain, or GumOuer, and Vi. de Spaur having al
ready given notice Of his intention OF gong TO va
pies, and received passports from the Go'ernmcht'
post horses soon procured, the Count ana MS
supposed chaplain took their places IN the carriage,
and then happily cleared the gates OF Rome. 1t was
some time before the mistake was discovered, as OF
course due care was used by those in the secret to
say that the POntf was engaged in his devotion,
and could not be disturbed. When the flight became
known the ministry was thunderstruck, and, as
hear, dragons were dispatched to bring back the
fugitive. But either these measures Jailed, or the
new Government hcsitatcd in arrcsting the person
Of an ambassador, and the Count de Spaur, with his
reverend charge, crossed the frontier in safety and
arrived at Gacta, large town, the first in the Nca
polItan territory not far from TcrTacina. The Pope
LETT the Quirnal the evening OF the 9th, and ar
rived at Gacta on the night Of the 25th."
The King of Naples, with his family, Immediately
proceeded to Gacta, when the news reached Naples
The Queen and Princes remained at Gacta, while
the King returned to Naples TO make preparations
for the reception of the Pope. The Roman and
: 1anish Ministers at Naples went to Gacta, and the
diplomatic corps at Rome, except the Sandman mem
Der thereof, has arrived at Naples with the Card-
mails.
Upon the subject of his place of flight, paper
published on the spot remarks:
"Thcre is no doubt that the temporal sovereignty
Of the Roman Pontff has been placed in serious eop-
ardy by the withdrawal of Plus TX. Had he gone
anywhere but under the shadow of the bombardcr
Of Mcssina, and the assassin of the Bandicras, the
Democracy would have borne it patiently. Malta
would have been considered dccorous and digniicd
retirement. But he has chosen to sail in the same
boat with the dctescd Ferdinand, and there will be
but one conclusion drawn in ltal g, viz that he APP
peas TO brute force and filings down the gauntlet TO
his once adhcring and confding subjects. This is
most serious NATTER and the friends and admirers Of
the Pope filled with detection and despondehcy
