Diainrhancea IN the Popeis Dominions.
The Rome correspondent Of lheN n Y. Even

an interesting view Of the troubles in the Papal
dominions. The Emperor Of Austria having

Papal troops. Bologna seized the opportunity
to appoint provisional junta, and to declare
for the national cause.
Though the Emperor Napoleon has affirmed
that he intends to uphold the Supreme POntifl

invitation to the public pronunciation Of pOliti.

openly revolted, hoisted the Italian tri-cOlor,
and declared for Victor Emanuel A Swiss regi-
ment was sent from Rome to the scene Of revolt,
to restore Papal Supremacy in that excitable
town, who committed unnecessary crueltes. -
The writer says
The Pope continues to wait with calmness
for the course of events, and expresses himself
fully reliant on Providence for such a result as
may be advantageous to the real interests Of
religion but there is another class of ecclesi
astics, high in temporal power, who deplore
the present crisis as the unavoidable downfall
of the Holy See.
Yesterday being the anniversary Of the Popes
elevation to tho throne, the ecclesiastical, mill
tary, municipal and civil authorities waited up
on his holiness to present their congratulations
upon the recurrence. The Pope took occasion
to address the circle upon the present state Of
events, and alluded strongly TO Piedmont as the
fertile source of infinite calamites. The de-
parture Of the Aastrians from that part Of the
Pope's dominions which they had engaged TO
protect had certainly proved death blow to

their city, and declare that they will resist to
the death. Two pieces of cannon were sent
on the town.
The Pope will hold a consistory shortly, and
then he is expected to make some decided an

The moment for the Roman State is supreme
The best lot that the ecclesiastical government
can hope for is to return its territory west OF the
Appenlnes. This appears TO be the general i'm
preston respecting the intentions of the victor,

measures are adopted to recover Perugia, whilst
no efforts are made to stem the torrent OF revolt
