The Pope to Remove to Corsica.
NEW YORK, August 1.-THE Her
dIdSRome letters contain information
that the Pope has selected the Island
of Corsica as the place of his future re-
treat, though any determination on
his part to leave Rome has not yet
been made apparent, ,and that Cardinal
Antonelli has had the chateau at Carte
placed at the disposal of the Holy
Father, by M. Vallery, OF Marseilles,
which is being extensively fitted up
for his reception.
The publication of the POpe's letter
against revolutionary journals has
diminished the sale of these sheets
about One-half, and that their total
disappearance at this rate will be wit
messed in a short time; but nOtWith-
standing the result, the revOiutionists
are at work with newspaper organs,
and new journal, entitled Luther,
has been projected, which aims at the
obstruction OF the Pope. Replying to
the deputation of Roman citizens who
presented him contributions of Peters
pence, the Pope said: That while re-
lying little on the prOphesies con-
tained in books, yet It was written
that the the time w0nld come when
the Holy See would be forced to live
on the charities of the world, but
would never be wanting in money.
