where the Popcs Nuncio is soiourning,
az. is supposed with TIE intention of
mohbing the house, and doing violence to
the Nuncio's person or burning him in
cnigy.
An intmation of what was to be done
was received early in the evening by
Captain Lunkin, Chief of Police, and az.
ter the o'clock roll call he requested
ali the police. both day and night, to re-
main and await orders. Not man n.
mong them knew the purpose for which
they were detained, but silently obeyed
the command

The scene which followed battles de-

was general; many pistol shots were fir

that he ostcnsbly favored the liberty oi
Italy, but really only for the purpose o
betraying them. and that on one occasion
he caused one of them to be fayed alive
