On the arrival OF the Governor, an address was
presented to him, when his EXoelloncy expressed
his hope that the constitution would do for tho Cape
colonists all that they expected from it. Tho
trainers of the address seem to have rather inflated
notions of the great benefits to be derived from the
new measure.

j. &. BENNETT, ESQ
DEAR SIR:-From some editorial remarks in your
paper of the 18th Of May inst, which did me in
justice--in relation to my difficulty with the Papal
authorities at Rome-I beg to lay before you the
following facts, more particularly that may return
my warmest thanks to Lewis Cass, Jr our Charge
d'Afaires at Rome.
On Palm Sunday | was standing with friend
about quarter Of mile from st. Peters Church.
while the Pope was about to deliver his blessing to
the multitude, from the great window in front. An
officer called out an Italian word, which | ascer-
tanned, afterwards meant hat and Immediately
rushed at me, and attempted to knock mine Off
| struck HIM with my cane, upon which he at
tempted to draw his sword, when | struck him
again; other officers rushed in, my cane was
wrenched from my grasp, and I--seized by n num-
Der OF solders-was carried to guard.room and
from thence to prison, from which was released in
y lew hours, through the prompt action of Mr..
Cas-. Courteous and affablc in his official rela-
tons his noble conduct and generous character to
his countIymen in difficulty distress, pro-
verbal throughout the Papal doinnions that /
need not say he deserves the warmest thanks Of
every American.
II may be necessary-to place the matter more
clearly before the publc-to state that, near where
stood, at the time this officer assaulted me- there
were more than hundred gentlemen with their
hats on, who did not, and were not ordered to re-
move them. The officer who attempted to knock
my hat off was with several ladies' and his desire
to exhibit a little authority--which he did not in
reality. possess--in their presence, no doubt
prompted him TO act in the insolent manner lac did
