MIR. Fillmore.
correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger,
writing from Leghorn, says:
az The only person who was permitted to land in
advance OF all the rest was young Austrian off,
Ger, some nineteen or twenty years old the other
passengers, among whom were our most excellent
ex-Presidept Fillmore and the Duke of Montpen-
sier, (son Of the late King Of the French, and a
capital, handsome fellow, withal had to stay on

police were satisfied that none of the strangers
brought into port were likely TO give the State
danger trouble The passports by the by,
must be handed to the captain Of each steamer at
the time of your taking your BERTH and are return
ed by him during the voyage, SO as to hand them
to the police officer as soon as you enter the port.
The police officer then comes on board and counts
off the passengers like sheep, to whether their
number corresponds 10 the number Of passports
handed to him. For the first time in my life,
real libuster feeling came over me, and felt as If
could throw the officer overheard, when saw
the ex.President of our republic (may God pre-
serve her from the fate of the Italian republics)
walk past the petty officer of the absolute power
of petty State, in obedience to his brutal man
date The Duke of Montpenser followed with
smile, and could not help whispering to him in
Eaglish, that he probably realized himself that
America and England were the only two free coun-
tries In the world.
"Nothing, indeed can exceed the unostenta-
tious carriage and simplicity Of the American ex-
President on his whole journey through Europe.
He goes and sees everything, yet nobody finds out
who he is and what elevated station he occupied
until he Is gone. In Paris, while Mt the Hotel du
Louvre, the landlord never knew his guest until
some Americans had inquired for ex-Presdent
Fillmore and the thing occurred in Marseilles,
Nizza, Genoa and Leghorn When the people
learned who he was, there was considerable en-
e,y tca i'm. ho off cd fhou,
opportunity. Living in the simplest manner, and
exacting nothing that is not usual with the most
unpretendng and unassuming gentleman, he only
leaves people with regret that they cannot show
him some proof Of their respect or some atten-
ton corresponding with his station. Mr.. Fillmore
has now been in England, France, Prussia, Austria,
and Italy, and will have seen all Europe before he
returns to the United States. He has everywhere
been the unobserved observer of the people and
their institutions, and will return to the United
States better Judge of European governments
than the whole body of unHedged diplomatcs we
are In the habit of sending abroad"
The number Of persons put to death for con-
science sake by the Church of Rome, has been es-
timated, on apparently fair data, at upwards of
fifty millionsl How insignificant do the cruelties
of all other rcgionists appear in comparison with
this Wholesale slaughter, extending over some
twelve hundred years. or morei Then the modes
of death resorted to by the Romish priests have
alwiys been the most internal that their diabocal
ingenuity could suggest. Fortune with them has
risen to the dignity Of art, rather science.
That knowledge Of the human frame, which it was
intended man should make the means of extend
ing the moral and physical well being of his fel-
lows, has been used by Rome to render torture
more exqusitey fearful, and to prevent even death
from coming early to the relief of the sufferer
from her abominable tyranny. No body of men
not inspired by the devil ever conld have invent
ed the inquisition, or furnished its armory. The
Romansts claim for their chief the power Of open
ing even the gates of the Internal regions, and,
judging from their conduct, we should say that he
must have opened them long ago and nailed them
