Prince Gabrielli, and Prince Caetini,
"The address was presented to the Holy Father |
by Prince 0rsin, Prince Borghese, and Marquis |
Autici Mattel. The address of the municipality of
Rome will be presented tomorrow. More than |
sixty-six municipalities of the provinces have al
ready sent in theirs and deputation of the Lyon
nese brought one the day before yesterday"
The Nord publishes a portion of letter from
I Rome "This morning the Pope showed to several
distinguished persons in Rome two royal letters
! one, the letter from the Emperor of the French,
and the other the reply that his Holiness had made
to it. His Holiness read the letters, and added that
| thew had already been communicated to the corps
! diplomatique of Rome.
''You are acquainted with the Emperor's letter.
| The following is the substance of the reply made
BY his Holiness: Firstly, the Romagna though re-
VOTED belongs still to the Holy See-not to the
| Pope who is merely its administrator, but who
has sworn at his coronation to transmit it to his
successors. Secondly the Romagna did, it is true,
revolt fifty years ago; but France had arevolutlon
seventy years ago, and none of the governments
which have been in existence since that time have
been willing to cede single inch of land.
| "Thirdly and lastly, the Emperor may think that
he is acting rightly in urging on the Holy See the
| sacrifices he requires of it, but both he, Plus IL,
and the Emperor will have one day to appear be-
fore God, and the Sovereign Judge will decide who
| has here below sustained justice and truth.
you will observe that the Pope's letter indicates
some intention of resistance. 1t Is thought here
! it is likely to produce considerable effect"
Letters from the City of Rome state that, in con-
sequence of political troubles rents have fallen one
half. The following is an extract of letter from
Rome in London paper:
'In Rome itself, strange to say, the Liberal party
are not only dissatisfied with the Imperial decree
which condems them to prayer and the cultivation
of ruins but they are likewise greatly incensed at
the detection of the provinces which have so long
obeved the sway of their city. The triumph OF the
national is not only blessing in which they
are to have share, but consummation fraught
| with their own total ruin and dissolution How
| ever handsomely the Catholic world may make
| tn he POnn FIR tha curtamnnt of his al
mantle, no berality on its part will make up for
the loss of Importance and authority with which
the crumbling metropolis. is threatened.
"Rome wishes not only to be free, but still to be
| queen The Romans yearn, doubtless, to follow
the fortunes of their brethren, but are selfish
enough, if that is impossible, to wish, at all events
| that their brethren may be forced to snare their
| own lot, good or bad, as it may be. They wish
either that the Pope should cease to be altogether
temporal sovereign, or that he may so reform and
improve his temporal rule as to make it endura
bic to the Romagnese, Umbrians, &C, as it may be
made to themselves"

The HAwEsvILLE INTERNAL MACHIYE-The Louis
vile Courier has the following account of the recent
attempt at Wholesale assassination at Hawesville,
| Kentucky
Ere the memory of the late Hawesville tragedy,
| resulting in the cold-blooded murder of Lowe in
prison, bound hand and foot, has passed away, it is
again fearfully brought to mind by the details OF
another revolving tragedy that has just been en-
ties in that scene is the chief actor in this, which
occurred Monday morning last, as we learn from
| passengers on the Argonaut, which arrived from
1t appears that DR.. Davidson, by what actuated
we know not, prepared tin canister, which he
| filled with gunpOwder and buck-shot, and had
| slow-mach attached with the end ignited With
| this Internal machine, in covered basket his
arm, he walked into the house or store of Mr.. John
Duncan, in Hawesville, with the deliberate inten-
ton of numbering Mr.. VIM. Sterrett, who
| in the room at the time. There were three or four
other persons, together with Mr.. Sterrett, engaged
| in conversation, and all were wholly unconscious
of the diabolical design of Davidson.
While the basket, with its hidden missiles of de-
structon, yet on his arm, it exploded with
terrific force, scattering death and destruction
around. Davidson had an broken, the Shout
der dslocated, and his side terribly burnt. Mr..
John Duncan received four buck-shot in his head
and neck and Mr.. Sterrett and two others were
very severely wounded, and it was feared one of
them would die. The building wrecked almost
to pieces the roof being actually lifted from the

and one entire side of the house blown down, or
out, by the force Of the explosion. That all in the
house were not killed outright was miracle but
it appears that all escaped with their lives nclud-
ing Davidson.
The citizens of Hawesvile were very much ex-
cited and exasperated at the assassin, and they
made no disguise of their threats against him, as
he has been regarded as an evil spirit in the COM
munty ever since the murder of Lowe. He was
one of the charged with that bloody deed, and
it is stated in this last act that he designed de-
stroying his own lifa which.had become a burthen,
at the time that he blew up the house and its
inmates. Another report is that he wanted to de-
sroy the Others and escape himself before the match
had burnt to the powder. 1t exploded, however,
before he could take it from his arm.
The FRONTIER TRoUBIEs.-The San Antonio
Ledger of the oath publishes the following extract
from letter written by officer of prominent po-
stion in Maj. Heintzelman's command. The letter
is dated Roma, Texas Jan. Is:
As far this frontier is concerned, Cortinas day

Mexican (Libera) cause,i will bring ON war; all

There was considerable sympathy with Corinas
all along the river, amongst the lower classes, and
l fear that the better-informed were not entirely
exempt.

report from the other side is that he has cut a
pany of volunteers to pieces. A company of Ran
gers started down the river week or ten DAYS ago.
There is nothing reliable in these reports, so we
shall start early in the morning, and get to Browns
vile in six DAYS.
The Mexican population are afraid to come back
to our side of the river, for fear of the Rangers.
MAcAuLAY's UNFINISHED HIsroRY.-A Mr.. Sid
dons, of New York, has written to the Times let
explaining the cause of the delay in the publ
cation of the additional volumes of Macaulay VS.
History. Mr.. Siddons says
CHE had, in measure, prepared himself for the
volume embracing the career of William III, when
Chevaer Bunsen drew his attention to some re-
markabe documents in the archives of the Hague.
He went to Holland to inspect them, and found
much to induce him to alter his pre-conceived
opinions The translation of these papers, and Ma
caulay's Notifications of their accuracy, consumed
time; and before he could shape the whole story
to suit his Judgment, he seized with the affec
