ANOTHER CHEER FOR LIBEIITY.—SIavery has recently been abolished in Cayenne. Great fears were entertained as to the result—the whites that they would be massacred by the blacks, and the blacks that they would be slaughtered by the whites.

The Roman papers of this morning are vehement in censure of the manifesto from Gaeta; they deny altogether the right of the former sovereign of these territories to rely on a decree of the council of Trent, which, they say, has only reference to the assailants of church property or ecclesiastical prebends and livings—a category which it would be monstrous to rank the whole people of Rome and the legations Wrong.

The effect of the last act of the Pontiff will be to nullify the efforts which his adherents hoped to make in the working of general suffrage. Last night a strong patrol of civic guards came upon a mob near the forum, where it was engaged in pulling down the pontific insignia from a public office. The detachment did not hesitate a moment in the execution of a formal order from government, and fired a volley among the disturbers, scattering them, wounded and routed, in every direction. If the Papal power is to be confined within spiritual attributions, there Is every determination that such a result shall not be the act of rioters, but of a deliberate resolve of the community.
