rapidly. Nardoni parted the blow directed at
his throat, and repulsed the assassin by violent
poke with his sword stick, and in the seuffle
which ensued the assaant, finding himself dis
armed, took to flight and had just time to escape
by taking refuge in church, where Nardoni,
and the police whom his cries had collected,

was sent TO the Cardinal Vicar TO obtain his per-
mission to arrest the delinquent in the sane

Nardoni could hardly be prevented from taking
summary vengeance upon the person OF his as
saant but the latter pleaded for his life in con-
sideration of the impol qnt feyeaticrs he could
make concerning his acs o'upl -cs. He was there
fore handcuffed and tab n he fore the criminal
tribunal to undergo pre- imjpary examination,
from which it resulted that he was native OF
Frascati, Domenico Pace by .hahe,. q bricklayer
by trade; his statements also served to impcate
several individuals, some Of whom were imne-
diately captured by the people, while others
thought proper to abscond Last night great
number of persons were arrested, and IT u
rumored that the death Of Nardoni was to have
been merely the opening act OF a band OF con-
spirators, who had formed plot for the exter-
minatiOn of the most obnoxious Government
agents Many people, however, shrewdly sus-
pect that the whole affair has been got up by
Nardoni himself, to justify him in the arrest OF
some hundreds of well known liberals, against
whom no accusation can be brought, and for
whose imprisonment no plausible prctext has
been hitherto discovered. At the town Of Fras.
cati some sentiments had been lately expressed
hostile to the existing state Of things, by ildi-
viduals who will no doubt now pay dearly Tor
their imprudence.
