GREGORY XVI., While they have only treated with insolence, with cruelty, and with the most detestable outrages, a Father and a Patriot like Pius IX. They have one, while gro. yelled like slaves under the iron rule of LAMBRUS•• i CHIN' ; and at another time they have risen n rebellion against the olive rod of his constitutional successors. When invested with the tiara, Cardinal CAPELLARI struck the Romans into obedience with the mailed hands of his soldiery, and those Romans remained loyal as subjects and tractable as sycophants. 'When Cardinal FERRETTI has resigned the purple for the embroidered robes of the Pontificate, scarcely two years have elapsed before his beneficent administration is recompensed with the insults and crimes of a sanguinary and degraded rabble. In Austria the Viennese have been fighting against an inhuman  Despot ; in Prussia the Berliners have been struggling against an ambitious Charlatan ; in Rome the Itllians have been railing the red hand of murder Against a Benefactor whose name is blessed, and Wlose v;rtue3 are reverenced throughout the length and breadth of Christendom.  From the accounts published both yesterday and this evening in our Foreign Correspondence, it will be perceived that the November Insurrection in the Eternal City commenced with the assassination of the Prime Minister, and terminated with the bombardment and capture of the Quirinal. From the unpopularity of Count Itossr it was dreaded lest his life might be attempted on the occasion of his next attendance at the Chamber of Deputies. The anticipation was unhappily but too speedily fulfilled; for, on the 15th instant, the statesman who had been principally instrumental, as French Ambassador, in securing the election of Jour; MASTAI, Cardinal FERETTI, to the Pontifical Chair towards the middle of 1846, was stabbed in the lower part of the neck by a stiletto while walking from his carriage up the grand staircase of the Palazzo del Cancellaris. Having stained their cause with blood, the people became reckless in their proceedings, and early on the morning of the 16th of November assembled in a vast multitude upon the Piazza del Popolo —the populace fraternizing with the Civic Guard, the troops of the line, and the carabineers. Here they appear to have matured their revolutionary projects, resolving to demand from the PoNTirr the following concessions : I. The recognition of Italian nationality. IL The Convocation of a Constituent Assembly, and the deliberation of a Federal Pact. lIL That the deliberations of the Council of the Deputies on the war of independence should be carried into effect. IV. That the programme of Mamiani (June 5) should be followed out or realised. V. That a Democratic Ministry should be at once appointed.  After proceeding to the Chamber of Deputies, and placing the national representatives at their head, the mob marched in solemn procession to the palace of the Quirinal. Our Roman correspondent has already explained how the deputations were received by the SOVEREIGN ; how his HOLINESS replied through Cardinal SOOLIA that he would take the popular demands into consideration, although resolved to concede nothing on compulsion ; how, on the second application, the POPE announced his inflexible determination not to yield anything to violence; and how the fighting ultimately commenced between the Swiss or Papal Guards and the insurgent multitude. It was not until the firing had lasted for three hours ; when the palace was surrounded on all sides by overwhelming numbers ; when the principal entrance was burst open by discharges of cannon ; when the sharpshooters, firing their rifles from behind the equestrian statues of Castor and Pollux, had shot Monsignor PALMA, ene of the POPE'S Cameriere Segreto, through the forehead; when the belfry of St. Carlino, overlooking the walls of the Quirinal, had been seized ; and when the ultimatum of the assailants had been dispatched to the Sovereign PONTIFF, informing him that, in case of a continued refusal, at the expiration of one hour, the palace would be stormed, and every soul in it, with the exception of himself, destroyed—it was not until then, we say, that ho NoNo at last, to save the lives of his brave defenders, granted the demands of his criminal and ungrateful subjects. Cardinal LAMBRUSCHINI had scarcely escaped in the disguise of a dragoon when the following Administration was proclaimed :  ROSMINx nister of Public Instruction.
