Of his enemy. \ Turkish sabre and Il long
Turkish muket are along behind his Lack, and

They will spring out Of their saddles, take

NJ, Bcdin. t'ic Popish Nunco arrived in this
city yesterday. ia coz. at The EcGse of Bis!iop
Fitzpatrick. Some of or Germaa people heard
of his arrival and shortly before midnight about
500 of them assembled on the Commons when
a huge efigy was brought upon the groHn1 ard
affixed to OF the guidc-bo:rls. ire was
applied to the cihgy and a I.ng r.adc around.
The crowd then proceeded to Lshvp Iit2pat-
rick s house, whcn The Nuncio vas salutcd'With
groans, yclls. and cries of butcher c. Eou'ogne.
&c. Alter which the mob dispersed. 10 ct
tempt was made by the po.:cc to arrest them
for this demonstration.
The steamer Niagara sailed to- dag for Liver
pool, with 81 passengers, and sea, 900 Eedinis
name was not ON the list OF passengers and it
is said he did not Leave on her. 1t is matter
of doubt whether tha Nunc;o has been in the
city at al, notwithstanding the demonstration.

of the letter from the Pope, Of which NJ. Bedini
was the bearer The object, of course. was to
ascertain precisely in what character N. Bedi-
nj visited this country. Quite debate fol-
lowed Mr.. Cass leading OF by strongly ami
madyerting upon the outragcs in Cincinnati,
Baltimore, New York. &c, directed at the Nun
cO 1t was stated, he said. as cause for these
outragcs. that this gentleman was concerned in
the proceedings at Bologna when Bassi was put
to death. lie had investigated that matter,
and was satilcd that this gentleman had 10
more to do with that matter than he (Mr. Cass)
had. The Austrians had taken possession Of
Bologna, and set up military authority, over
throwing all other authority, and under their
power Bassi was executed, as they call it, but
murdered, as he would consider it. They sciz-
ed Bassi, tried, and executed him, while the
hour-g lass was telling sixty minutes. This was
done by Austrian military authority, and in it
this gentleman took no part. These outrages
and violations Of law tended to prevent the
spread of Republican institutions.
Mr. Mason, Mr.. Butler Mr.. Dawson, Mr.. Eve
rett and Mr.. Douglas followed in the same strain
the Nuncio and condemning the ri !
otous procccdingsat Cincinnati and elsewhere.
Mr. Weller ON the other hand while not yen
turing to denounce the NunciO, said that many
Germans and Italians in Cincinnati. believed
that Bedini was instrumental in inHicting
wrongs and cruel punishment upon their co-pa- /
triots, became agitatcd and excited by his pre-
scncc in their midst, and meet to give utter
ancc to their feelings. Ifthcy assembled peace
ably for that purpose, and the Nuncio were
guilty Of only half hat his countrymen charge,
then the people were right in what they did.
The resolution vas adopted, and the letter
from the Pope 10 the President published in
the Sentinel Of Mondav) was the reply to it.
