DR.. Ives in Rome.

We arc at length enabled to put an,

our Protestant neighbrrs in reference to

Der 3Oth, in the Uniuers of the 9th inst.
The same letter informs us that number
OF Protestant parsons arc laboring for the
conversion of Mrs. Ives in the only way
they can, which is by abusing her hus.
band. The following is an extract from the
letter in the Unicers:
"Dr. Ives, after his arrival at Rome,

Of the deepest joy and Of the most tender
piety, his profession of Catholic faith at
the hands Of this former Anglican minis
ter, who, rs well as he, was a convert to
the true faith. The Holy Father chose to
administer in person, to the distinguished
convert, the Sacrament Of Confirmation;
and this ceremony took place on the 26th
December, in the private chapel of His
Holiness.
"Dr. Ives, by Withdrawing from the
Protestant Episcocal Church in the United
States, has rcnounced very desirable pos
ition in secular point of view, and has
been compelled to struggle with family
affections and ties of the most intimate
character. DIR. Ives is married, and as
yet his wife has not followed his example.
She has even all along warmly opposed
his design, but it is said that she already
has begun to defend her husband against
the attacks of certain Protestant ministers
who had accompanied the Ex-Bishop of
North Carolina to Rome. Let us offer up
our prayer that Divine Grace may COM

closely united 10y nature, may be still
stronger bound in the profession of tho
same Catholic faith.
"The Rt. Rev. Bishop of Richmand has
had the happiness to gain another soul to

himself prepared for the important event.

viii interest our political and mercantile readers,
Notwithstanding that the most material part Of
the information contained in them has been in
the possession of the reading Public for the space of
an entire year and half. Though SO old, however,
it is either SO new to the Democratic Official Jour-
nal as never to have been heard of BEFORE or so old
as to have been already forgotten. Witness the
following from the Union of yesterday:
IMPORTANT PUBLIC PApERs.-We publish this morn
ing the message of President FILLMORE in reply to the
resolution of General CAss respecting territorial acqu
son by Great Britain in Central America. The infor
nation conveyed by this message of the highest nte
rest and Importance. The country rM learn Nth
constituent that, by private understanding between
Secretary CLAYTON and Sir HENRY BULwER Honduras
and its dependencies excluded from the operation Of that
clause Of the treaty Of 1850 whch forbade British cooniza-
hon in Central America"
We turn to the file of the National Intelligencer
for the evidence we are about to produce, that no
mystery veed the import and effect of that Treaty
at the time of its date and that, far from affect
ing or attempting any concealment on this subject,
information was contemporaneously, spontaneously
and openly given by the Administration to this
Journal and by this journal impaired to the Public
of the scope and bearing of that Treaty.
THE EVIDENCE.
FROM THE NATIONAL ISrELLIGENcER OF JULY 8, 1850.
From the official publication in the preceding columns
our readers will learn that the afcaons of the Treaty
prt tba fad IN
STATE and the Right Hon Sir HENRY L. BULwER the
gotiaors each sde exchanged between the re-
presenaves of the Governments in this city the
fourth of this month and that the provisions of that
treaty so they extend the law of the land
for both countries.
The leading object Of the Treaty appears to be the
tablshment of ship canal the Ishmus which
meets North with South America under the Proectorate
not only of Great Britain and the United States but Of
all other nations which desire the passage through
it from ocean to ocean the equal terms.
In reference political advantages connected with that
Treaty may be remarked that all the States Of Central
America comprehending the immense extent Of country
from the Belize commonly called the Bay Of Honduras
down to the northern boundary of New Granada is made
neutral territory No Government entering into this treaty
can occupy coonize fortfy, exercise any
dominion any part of the Mosquito coast part
of Central America from the boundaries of the Bay Of
Honduras and Mexico the north to those of New Gra
