4 o'clock Il NJ Very curious TO say, it was on that
day, at the same hour of il, sixteen months ago,
that Plus TX. left, as fugitive, the holy city OF
Ecne, where he was to return amidst the noise OF
enDncp, and the acclamations of the people, who
teened to he DESTROYS 10 see again him OF whose
presence they had been 80 long deprived This
| niumrhnl march Of the Pope from Portici to the
Vatican 10 really surprising: Arches of triumph
hid been erected, all along the road from the from
ten Of the Neapolitan kingdom to Rome, and tho
vi Gus to The entry Of Plus TX into the holy city,
ane persons had tried every means in their
POWER to attract the population TO the ranks
ctntsining the most bitter language against the
| Pope, the church, and the French army, and their
| gtneisls, had been posted on the walls Of Rome.
| Great numbers of torpedoes and internal machines
| had been thrown fortunately without efiect,) in
the centre of groups in the cafes and public places
| Of the city. All these things were without effect,
| ard when Plus k entered the walls of the old
X oman capital, there were Joy and acclamations.
| Iheee details have gathered from two Ameri-
can gentle men, my friends, who were present, and
who admired the noble countenance Of the Pope,
| and the behaviour of his subjects. All the neigh
| boring people of Rome had invaded the city; and
the sight of those masses, dressed in their best
attire the gaudy coors of their costumes, adorned
with ribbons and flowers the COntodini, the IraNs-
t,rini and all the different classes of inhabitants
| OF Rome and its vicinity, formed remarkable
spectacle. which cannot be forgotten by any one
| who saw it.
Plus TX. entered Rome in a post-chaise, sur
| rounded by the French tr0ope and escorted by the
Populaticn who kneeled on the place of the Scala
Santa, (the holy LADDER and demanded to be
of s.. Jean de Lateran, and was there received by
all the Sacred College, the authorities of Rome,
The diplomatic corps, and all the eminent persons
saw four French priests, who were standing in his
| passage, and he went to them, saying, "Ah. there
are my coed Frenchmen; they will be the first with
whom will deal, for the honors of this day belong
to them" and he gave his hands to be kissed BY
them. religious ceremony took place in the
church of St Jean de Lateran, and after the Pope
retired in carriage of gala, which was escorted
by his private guards From this moment the
French army receded, and left all the honors of the
safety of the sovereign pontif in the hands of the
Roman people.
The papai banner was hoisted on the Castle ST.
Ange, and salute of hundred and one cannons was
fired by the French artillery: When the Pope en-
tered the Place ST. Pierre, the corp dga was beau
tiful indeed. My two American friends, who were
on the top of the Dome, told me that they had never
seen sight more imposing and less to be forgotten
in the life of man. Cries of piru IL Papa Tonga
rita al Pho Mono were uttered almost by single
voice, composed of more than twenty thousand per-
sons. Ii was with such general joy that the holy
pontif entered the Quirinal. During the evening
that it seemed ito them that another Joshua had
stopped the SUM- for the night was as bright as
beautiful day. What q day for Plus TX, for Rome
and for France! will not be forgotten in the an
nails of history Several cries against the Pope
were heard, during this solemnity, but they were
uttered, il is said, by men of such low character,
that they were not OF any account. The return OF
the Pope to Rome, is undoubtedly great event,
and proof thai democracy cannot reign long in
Europe. 1t is said that the government of Chill,
the dominion of which the Pope Mastai had visited,
when he was young, has sent him a bar of gold
worth &c, 600 dollars, in the form of bread.
M. de Raqueval was spoken of as if he was to be
sent TO Rome, as our Ambassador, but it is now
about certain, that the Cardinal Du Pont, who is
the friend of Plus X will occupy the post at Rome.
His choice is universally approved.
Asyou see by the preceding facts and news,
everything is quiet at Rome; the revolutionary
spirit has now taken refuge in Piedmont. Under the
pretext Of the freedom OF the press and the repre-
sentative government, the party OF Mazzin has
been revived at Turin, and no doubt there will be,
before long, another attempt at a revolution in
Piedmont. The young king supports everything,
because he is not free lie fears to be obliged, in
OF revolution, to impose new taxes upon his
people. You have idea how much money the
last war with Austria has cost that country. The
dead king, Charles Albert, who was sparing man,
had amassed 150, 900 Of rancs and all that has
been devoured in the last two years. This situa-
ton cannot remain thus long time and If the
government OF Turin does not turn out the party OF
Mazzni, il will be lost Austria is waiting in or
der to occupy with troops Genoa, Alexandria and
ed, and the position is such, that in case Of riot,
the Austrian troops would be at Turin within six
days.
Many questic ms are daily settling on the CONT
nent, and in few months Europe may have a
more standing end firm constitution than during the
years which preceded the revolution of Febru-
airy. lheTe was at that time either blindness
weakness in the cabinets of Europe. With the
exception Of the Gar, Nicholas, and the Prince of
Mettenich, every statesman looked at the revolu-
tionary principle toe carelessy. They did not see
that radicalism was hidden under the plots Of the
representative COAX, and that the liberty OF the
press, the chambers, the philosophers, the novels,
tpHto's, history, everything, in short, were drag
gng the powers and the people 10 the abyss Of evo
luton. Now the bondage has been removed. The
people have seen their sayiours and new masters
in the cellars Of Neuilly the orgies Of the Hotel de
Vile OF Paris, the murder of General Brea, the
sassinations Of Vienna, of Berlin. They have seen
these nebriated sensualists, who thought they had
the power to regenera'e the human species. The
governments, also, have understood their true mis-
sion in such difficult epoch. Mingled principles
may have no more power in our days This is
perfectly understood by the King of Prussia. in the
affairs Of Germany. He is at liberty TO amuse him
self at Berlin with his constitutional toy. The
King Of Prussia had not the power to trouble the
peace and security of &c many by his political fan
tasia Of Erfmt. That Assembly will have the same
others. ! am really astonshed TO see that serious
men are thus playing the part OF puppets, at the
very door of the great political "play" which is
performed in Germany.
This great POLITICAL "play" is the rebuilding of
the Germanic Confederation upon the basis of ISIS,
expurgated from ell the anarchcial elements which
were in existence for the last twenty years. The
Reconstruction Of Germany will be the diplomatic
work of the year.
Great armsmen,s are still continued in Russia.
and the general opinion is, that campaign will
DC opened ms spring, 10 STOP the teNoiuilonary
movements in Germany and perhaps also in France,
Unnecessary.
The lac, news received from Greece, is not salts
factory. Nj. Wyse and the Baron eros have not
yet settled the question. NJ. Wye wishes that
10000 drachms be paid TO NJ. Pacifico, and that
a security Of 900 600 drachms be also given till the
amount Of money be paid by the government Of
Portugal to the same man. II these propositions
be not accepted, the intention of Admiral Parker
is to keep the Greek barks and ships, captured dur
ing the last assault.
Among the last nominations Of the order Of the
legion OF honor, have remarked those OF two
gentlemen well known in Washington--Messrs.
George Serurier as officer, and Sampayo as Che
Waller These two members Of the diplomatic
corps have been in the nited States in the capaci-
~ OF Attaches, during the embassy Of NJ. Pageot.
