The return of the Pope to Rome is de-
layed, and nobody appears to know any
thing about thai much-talked OF movement.
Late letters received from Rome state at,at
the HOLY Father seems less disposed tllan
ever 10 return to his capital. The protests
and per.uasions of Geu1 paraguay dill
Tiers have had no effect upon his Holiness,
except TO for,ily him ia a resolution to
keep out of Roane. There is general
impression tlsat the Pope wdi snS'st
upon the evacuation of Rome by the
French uoops be fore he enters II. The
Cardinals are, it is said, opposed to the re-
turn of Pins lX before the negotiation OF
a foreign loln is concluded This is like
postponng the business sine de; for, not
withdrawing the abundance OF money, nc
would he bold speculator who would adj
vance money TO the Government OF the
Papal States, whilst such thing is in re-
aIi,y fclion. In fact, the Papll secular
rovernmca, IS rot at present, either i'll eSSe
or in Dosse. Gen'l paraguay dHllIiers is
reported to have signihed his ulumatum to
the Pope, and prescribed period for the
return of his Holiness 10 Rome; after
which the French authorities would, III
case ofhis Noncompliance, proclaim FRO
yisiouaI Government. There been con-
siderable outbreaks of the peasaniry i'll sew
eral of the villages and small towns OF the
Papal dominions, on account OF Inc re-
establishment of the odious tax on the
grinding of corn, by which the price OF
bread is increased. The French COM
m.nder-in chief has taken upon himself to
suspend the tax until he could represent 10
the Roman Government the excitement
that il occasioned, and induce the Pope TO
give orders for its abolition.
Some of your American papers have
been lately making themselves merry win
their description of the King of Mosquito,
and one account states that the cap'aIn %
a smack, lately returned from Honduras,
had been honored by an interview with his
majesty, whose full uniform was cooked
hat, a sash, and guilt spurs; and that,
though not more than twenty years OF age
he was rather intoxicated and seated on a
whiskey cask, and that a q" one-eyed DRUM
mer acted as interpreter" A writer in
the Times, who has left his name with
the editor, and dates from Launceston, In
Cornwall, pronounces all this statement
10 be a fabrication of (alsehoods. This
writer says that the King of Mosquito Is
about eighteen years of age, but that his
diminutive size makes him appear not
more than fifteen. Until the early part OF
1913, he resided with, and was educated
hy the British Consul General IN that
Territory, at Bluehelds. Since that time
he has resided with DR.. Green. the Britain
ME Vice Consul at Guy-town, MosquIta'
without having been al Honduras, where
the American captain says he saw HIM.
His dress and manners are stated to be
quite English, and his department gentle
manly. English is the only language
spoken by the King; so that, admitting
the captain had an interview with him'
there was no occasion for an interpreter
between them. Now this whole matter is
scarcely worth notice, but ,as his Majesty
is likely to figure, at all events by name
and reference, in the question to be settled
by YOUR Government and this, 1t IS qniie
as well that your readers should have some
correct ideas Of his royal person and char
aCter.
