ROME, April lst, 1862.
The serenity of his Holiness has been consid.
erably ruffled of late by the attempt of the
Prince di Canine to return to Rome. lie land
ed last week at Civita Vecchia, as was said at
the time, with the brevet Of general in the
French army Of occupation. This, however,
proves to be a mistake; but certainly some
communication from the minister OF war in
Paris had the effect to bring the French colonel
of Civita Veccha in opposition to the French
authorities of the place. The governor refused
to allow the Prince to land, as his passport had
not been rise either by the 'Popes Nuncio at
Paris, or the Roman consul at Marseilles. The
colonel, however, considered it his duty to take
him ashore in his own boat, and to protect him
at his own quarters. lie also gave him grand
dinner and sercnade from the band. Upon
the news of his arrival and landing, the Pope
Immediately notified the French ambassador that
if Canine was allowed to enter Rome, he (the
Pope) would leave the city in the same hour,

Austrians. The Pope also directed the minister,
in presence of several foreign ambassadors, to
have in readiness 900 men and two pieces of
cannon. His travelling carriages were also i'm.
mediately packed, and everything kept in wait
ing for his departure, at any moment, IN case an
unfavorable answer to his remonstrance should
be received from Paris. The entire family Of
Canine, wife, sons and daughters, took fright at
the prospect of his return, and left il mediatey
for Perupa and Bologna. The truth, is, this
man. is not only fanatical demagogue, but a
domestic tyrant and spendthrift, The Pope
might well feel alarmed if such a virulent and
unprincipled enemy of his person and govern
ment was sent hilher from Paris by the order of
Louis Napoleon, and with commission in the
French army.
AS early as 1887, the Pope was obliged to put
him under arrest in his palace for writing an in
sulting epigram on the wall OF the Quirinal
palace aud for making inc6ndiary haraugues to
the people. His whole career at Rome, from
the beginning of the reign of Plus TX to the
end of the republic, was. that of lawloss,
brawling demagogue, without respect either for
the sacred claims of his own family, or the pro-.
prieties of decent society. By means of his
wealth he was enabled to keep mob ever ready
to applaud his harangues and having been put
into the national assembly, he became there the
most effectual disturber of all the legitimate
business of the house.
Upon the entrance Of the French, and his
consequent departure from Rome, his family al
lowed him $4,000 as an outfit, and 81 600 a
month, which have been faithfully paid him.
But $4,000 year proved but trifle for bis
designations in Paris. lie has come back now
| to Italy with $50 900 Of debt upon him, most
Of it for gambling debts, chiefly TO an American
The great bulk of the property of the family
| stands in the name of the wife, and the object
of Canine is to obtain possession of his child
rem, take them to France, and compel the II other
| to ransom them by paying off his disgraceful
debts, thing which the family has done more
than once. 1t is reported also that Count Per.
signy, the minister of war at Paris, has mad
a compact with the Prince Of Canine 10 marry
| his Youngest daughter, who is about l6 years
of age and that the President favors this agree.
ment For this reason the minister gave the
Prince his passport, and ordered a certain re
spect to be shown to him by the colonel in
command at Civita Vecchia.
But the Pope will go TO the full length of his
sovereign power 10 protect the family, and has
already thrown every obstacle in the way Of the
execution Of the claims of the American upon
the works of art consigned 10 him by The
Prince
Mr.. Cass soon became Disguised with the
office of baiff, and the business has been turned
over to our American banker.
After an uncommonly disagrceable winter, the
spring has at length come upon US in all its at
fractions. American visitors are pouring in for
the season of Easter. Very few Of them, | re-
greet to say, have given orders this winter to our
artists, which fact, Of course, is felt by them as
great encouragement.
Crawford is getting on pace with his colossal
statues for the Washington monument at Rich.
mond, Va. Patrick Henry and Jefferson are
ready for casting in bronze. The J,ferson is
exceedingly good. Among all the draped
statues here, none, except a statute Of Minerva,
at the Vatican, impresscs me so much as this
fer its dignity.
Freeman is preparing TO yisite the United
States, with two large picturesque, the Mays
at the Sepulchre; the other rustic piece both
executed with great power. In the sacred piece
he has designedy departed from the standard
rules Of such compositions; but whether or not
he has made a conquest in a new direction Of
art remains to be seen. No one, how ever, ]
think will deny him the evidences Of genius in
this attempt.
Terry, who is remarkably free from faults,
goes on improving, and bids fair to reach a
| high point Of excellence. His large piece of
Columbus, before Ferdinand and Isabella, is
finished and will be sent home this spring. 1t
goes TO Boston.
