dAffaires for the United States, prevent
ed it by his influence. think it my duty
TO protest this solemn misstatemept. and
to declare that no person in Rome thought
OF destroying any great monument, and
that, even if such thing had been
thought OF, the want at time uor that
edifce is the greatest IN existence) and
the want of powder. watch had fallen into
the hands of the enemy few days before,
would have prevented. The defence of
the city had been kept up for some days
only with the cartridges remaining in the
hands of the soldiers, being all that could
be got.
I will add that, so far from Mr.. Cass
having any influence in Rome, he was
very little known, and much less esteem
ed, on account of his illiberal conducr to-
wards the Republic. His only merit con-
sisted in having made few visits TO
the authorities. who did not fail to declare
to him, that it was his duty 10 recognise

Grayson had twice been convicted of
numbering David A. Miller, white
man, but each time he appealed, and the
