to to his subjects. He says: 6 We are occu-
pied in establishing the basis of institu-
tons calculated to secure to you, our
well beloved subjects, suitable Liberties,
and at the same time 10 secure our inde-
pendence, which we are obliged to preserve,
in tact in the face of the universe. This meas
ure has for its object to satisfy those who
! have merited our kindness and esteem, and to
undeceive those unfortunate misguided men
who had taken advantage of our concessions
to overthrow social order.''
Here follows decree of six articles from
the Pope, setting forth how the government is
to be re-moddled and conducted, from which
we make the following synopsis:
1st A council of State is 10 be instituted at
Rome, to advise all bills before receiving the
sovereign sanction. Number of council TO be
determined by special law.
@ A State consulta to be instituted for the
fnances-to give its opinion on the budget of
the State examine into the expenses advise
on the establishment of new taxes, and on re-
duction of existing ones, on the mode of as
sessment, on the establishment of COM
merce. The members of the consulta to be
chosen by the Pope, from list to be fur
nished him.
8. The institution of the provisional coun-
Gil is confirmed.
4. The representations and the municipal
administrations TO enjoy the most extensive
franchise, as regards the local interests of the
commune. The election of a portion of the
councillors to be based on property quail
icatons; another portion on the pay
ment of certain taxes, to be determined by
e law. ......-. .-..... --.. -..-
a 5. Reforms and amelioratons to extend
/, themselves TO the judicial order, as we'll as
= the civil, criminal and administrative legisla-
d ton.
s. Grants pardon to certain class -
It Pardon of penalty to which they shall be
liable for political offences TO such of those
It who may come under the denomination OF
: G. misguided Subjects" who took part in the
It last revolution. The members of the Provis-
J. ional Government; the members of the Con-
d stituent Assembly, who have taken part in
o the deliberations of that assembly, the mem
l. bers of the triumvirate and of the government
lie of the republic; the chiefs of the military
'e corps-all those who, having already, on a
e. former occasion, enjoyed the benefit of the
d amnesty granted by his Holiness, have forfeit
j ted their word of honor in joining in the late
/ | in f1no ,bn cd
8 dition TO political offences, have rendered
: themselves guilty of other crimes provided a.
; gainst by the laws now in force, are excluded
J. from the benefit of this amnesty.
rs The manifesto of the Pope has created con
siderable excitement in France, and met will
Mt but little favor-only two journals defending
y 1.-THE Constitutional and assemble Nation
es ellie. The French army remain in Rome.
=, THE OHIO ELEcTIoN.-The late election il
- Ohio for members of the State Legislature, re
suited in democratic majority in both Hou
m ses. The grand question is in relation to tn
, vote of Hamilton county. The county i
~ largely democratic on general ticket, and tn
y constitution expressly forbids the splitting O
counties, so tat all the members from tina
ID county, which includes the city of Cincinnati
!; are democrats. A law was passed some tw'
- years ago by federal majority, to divide tn
- county into different precincts, so as to secur
!; the members from the city of Cincinnati, wher
i a small federal majority exists. The democrat
80 opposed this, and thus two sets of member
h. were elected last year--the democrats by gen
b. eral, and their opponents by local ticket
which created the anomalous condition of al
of fairs which existed last year. This was SCI
10 tied by admitting the democratic members.
! similar difficulty, it is feared, will exist thi
:: year, which will be settled in the same man
