known to very few persons till it was an
bounced after his departure by the Repab-
lican papers.
Italian Regime in Rome.-The arrival of
Gen. LamarmOra, as Lieutenant Governor
Of Rome, has caused certain lull in the
noisy demonstrations we have been plagued
with Of late, but 1t has in no way coutrib-
or curbed the ferocity of the Roman press,
which teens with appeals to the worst pas.
sions Of the people against the Pope and
his quasi sovereignty in the LeOnine City.
The presence Of the foreign ambassadors
accredited to him is one of the points mOet
irritating to the revolutionary party, as 1t
is tantamount to an acknowledgement OF his |
rights ON the part of the European powers |
That his ministers remain at the Vatican, |
and that few gendarmes and Swiss are |
still allowed to mount guard in the interior |
of the palace, is another grief to the
the approaches of the Vatican and act as
spies on all who enter or leave its precincts
Enemies and Friends.-The personal inn
munity of the Pope from arrest or outrage
is now the object of attack in the Journal
ism, of the Sect, and the q>ktion is daily
Plus TX should be exempted from it = Tho
Revolution began by admitting HIS SOW
ereignty. now it denies him the privilege
of a bishop, and sedulously inculcates the
doctrine that the first duty of the chief OF
zoe, OOO, 600 Catholics is to become a good
voy, and of any lawyer, doctor, tailor or
Jew who may become the President OF the
Italian Republic. This and no other view
is that entertained by the Revolution. 1t
would make him the head chaplain OF Vic
tor Emmanuel, or of his next substitutes,
| to chant the "Te Deum," or to canonlze
| the martyrs of the Revolution. 1t would
reduce him to q condition it knows we'll he
would die rather than accept, and 1T offers
exile or martyrdom as the alternative. 1t
remains to be seen whether Catholics Will
be so blind as to ignore these realities II
they will be so cowardly as to yield their
rights as Roman citizens in the highest
| sense to the lowest and basest of nations.
Position of the Holy Fdther.-What may
he determined on as to his remaining here
is still uncertain, but the position Is De-
coming daily more perilous and more I'M
tenabie. The Pope's health has not APP
parently suffered, and he ia able to take
daily walks in the Vatican gardens, his
onlv means of obtaining fresh air. He re-
ceiyed several persons on Sunday last in
the hall he passed through from his apart
ments, and having been among them, am
able to state that he looked well, although
necessarily anxious ard sad. His courage
, however. never fails him, and he has
steadily, refused to receive Gen. Lamar
mora. or to permit his ministers even to &C

as the Pope is resolved to aahere lniiy -
