ROME, March II, 1871.
1t is not my fault II the events which form the
subject OF this letter not already known to your
readers in New York, as forwarded narrative OF
them by telegraph yesterday evening Immediately
after witnessing them. This afternoon, while was
experiencing that degree OF satisfaction which an
active correspondent ieels when convinced that he
has succeeded IN outstrpping oil competitors IN
correctness Of Information and rapidity or transmits
sion, dapperly uniformed Official Of the telegraph
office handed me despatch inviting me to attend
at the ONCE TO receive repayment Of the money had
dlsbursed for my despatch NO. 61 which, In accord
ancs with article No. 20 Of the convention, had
been annulled by superior orders.
THE HERALD's DISPATCHES STOPPED By THE
FLORENCE AUTHORITIES.
felt greatly disappointed, knowing that my effort
10 supply novel topic for breakfast table talk in
New York had failed, but set out directly for the
telegraph ONCE ascertain the why and wherefore
OF SO simple a despatch as that which ! subjoin
having been burked by the government authorities
The clerk very politely restored me my money, and,
in reply to my inquiries, informed me that my
despatch nad been duly forwarded to Florence,
whence message had been received In return from
the central onlce stating that the despatch Gould
No. 20 stipulated he told that 1t reserved for the
government the right of annulng any telegraphic
message 1t objected to: TelegraYs merely an,
ticipate by rapidity Of communication pieces
of intelligence which would equally reach the
eye OF the public through the ordinary press.
Therefore am surprised that the Florence govern
ment should have objected to such an epitome OF
undenable facts as that contained in the following
despatch, the substance OF whlcn Is confirmed by
all the journals OF this city,
THE REJECTED DESPATCH.

THESE EVENTS
were witnessed BY a host OF people, including my
self, but as have not been able to make them
known so rapidly as wished l will at least add
some subsequent details, which Will aid In their de-

DOWN WITH THE JEsUIT5.
The individuals arrested are nineteen In number,
sticks found in the Gesu church would suffice to
arm four times many persons In the early part OF
the night no disturbance took place, but between
nine and ten o'clock
A ToRCHLIGHT DEMONSTRATION
was organized. Not more than 100 persons followed
the flag, which, by tho by, was deluged with dirty
water from the balcony Of the Ingami palace, and
their rallying cry was, "Down with the Jesuits ~
which they maintained perslstenty, even under the
widows Of Prince Humbert at the QuirInal Palace.
THE PEOPLE STILL EXCITED.
THIS morning numerous assemblage OF persons
collected on the Piazza del Gesu, about eleven
O'Clock sermon time, but as the church was empty,
and Will probably remain closed for some time TO
come there was no pretext for disorder and the pa
trolls OF gendarmes ard policemen, and the National
Guards held in reserve in the Doria Palace would
have sufilced to put down any disturbance that
might have been contemplated. The celebrated
Father Curc breaches during Lent at the Church or
st. Andrea dele Fratti. His sermons have excited,
on minor scale the same emotion and efrervescenca
as those of Father Tommasl at the Gesu; conse-

THE RIOT or FRIDAY
was only the consequence of an occurrence In the
Gesu church on the preceding morning. A lieutenant
In the National Guards Siglor Santnii not entirely
approving OF the sentiments delivered bv Father
Tommasl IN his sermon, preferred leaving the
church, and he probably gave some evidence Of dis
satisfaction, as ne was followed out anu beaten oy

FUNERAL MASS AT THE FRENCH CHURCH.
Yesterday there was funeral mass at the French
National church for the victims Of the late war. 1t

tons had been sent round without any illusions to
nationality; but his EXceliency did not make hts ap-
pearance. The National Church or 81. Louis de5
