they are always conferred on cardinals.
This is always the case with the bishop
RIGS of Fermo, Osimo, Ancona, JEST and
Sinigaglia. The richest of all these
sees is that of Fermo, which yields to-
its bishop an annual revenue of 130, 900
francs, on which account the cardinal
bishop of Fermo is commonly termed
the Pope Of Marches. Under the Pa
pal administration the two provinces of
Urbino and PesarG were tinted in one,
called Legation, of which the civil
and political administration was en-
trusted to cardinal legate In eonse-
quence of the Austrian occupation du-
ring late years it was governed by one
of the most contemplate and worthless
prelates of the Roman Curia. Mon
seigneur Tancredi Bella. Since 1916
Cardinal Ciacchi, who has completely
retired from public life, dwells in villa
which he possesses in the district of Pesaro
as an ordinary citizen. Cardinal De;
Angels, the most astute and the most
reactionary among all the cardinals,
is Archbishop of Fermo. Cardinal
Lucciardl is Bishop of Sinigaglia; Car
dinal Morichini, man of moderate
principles, with a certain tincture Of
erudition, who held the Office of constf1
tutional Minister under Plus TX, is
Bishop of JEST: Cardinal Antonucci is
Bishop of Ancona, and Cardinal Bru-
nelli, formerly Nuncio, is Bishop of
Osimo. --f a,-..r- .T -
With the exception of trbino and
Pesaro, to which we have already refer
red, the other provinces are governed
by prelates called Papal Delegates
During the last ten years an exception
was made in the C ase of Fermo, which
was administered by layman, the Mar
quis Nicola Morici. The Papal gov.
ernment, being desirous to restore the
credit of prelatical rule, entrusted the
province of Fermo and that of Eerara
to two layman, whom it selected from
among the worst citizens, and who,
consequently, governed more iniquit-
ously and atrociously than any other
of the public functionaries. Under
such circumstances the people could not
help wishing to have back the priests,
so much more intolerable were the
denominations perpetrated by the lay
men. .. .t--.e-rstr .s ss.s
The following particulars relative to
part of Italy, which is now the seat of
war, may be found interesting at the
present moment: The population Of
the Marches, according to an official re-
turn of the .Ponti6cal government, was,
in 1853, 922.702 souls, of whom 176, ,54y
were in the province of Acona, 110,331
in that of Fermo, 243, 1O4 in Macerata,
257 ISL in Pesaro and Urbino, and the
rest in Ascoli and Camerino. The ecitadei
of Ancona is situated on the summit of
Mount Artagno, upwards Of 300 feet
above the level of the sea. The town
stands on the part of the motHtain
which slopes to the sea, and its port is
formed by little hills which constitute
sort of amphitheatre. The highest, OF
these hills which protects the citadel
itself, is the Montagnoo; upwards of.700
feet above the level of the sea-. There
is also Mount Guasco del Cappuccini,
which is ON level with the barracks of the
artillerymen in the citadel, The west
ern part of the Mount del Cappuccini
is occupied by part of the town, which
extends along the side of the fort with
a bend. In 1859 the Austrians, duriig
the war of Independence, undertookex-
tensive works, but they soon abandoned
them. They supplied the fortress with
cannon, which they left. likewise. The
entrance to the fortress is we'll defended;
the roads being partly winding md
partly zig-zag, and constructed in such
a way that surprise of an enemy cap
be resisted, however great may be tiit
impetuosity with which it is made.--
The fortress cannot contain numerous
garrison, but the magazines are large
enough to hold stores for long siege.
