Lord Cowley's journey to London is now known to have no political signification, and the idea that any accord between France and England betokened a desertion of the Villa-Franca stipulations, is asserted, on the best authority, to be an entire delusion.
This concludes my budget of news.

A whole page is covered with quotations from Villemain's pamphlet, _La France, l'Empire et la Papaute_; but as my own personal experience must of course be the best evidence as to the blessings of a Papal government, this seems to me to be carrying coals to Newcastle.

I have then a list of the strangers arrived at Rome, one advertisement of some religious work, _The Devotions of Saint Alphonso Maria de Liguori_, a few meteorological observations from the Pontifical observatory, and half-a-dozen official notices of legal judgments, in cases about which, till now, I have never been allowed to hear a single allusion.

I have, however, the final satisfaction of observing that my paper was printed at the office of the Holy Apostolic Chamber.
"Ex uno," my Roman friend might truly say, "disce omnes." The number I have taken as a sample is one of more than average interest.

I know, indeed, no greater proof of the anxiety and alarm of the Papal government than that so much intelligence should be allowed to ooze out through the Roman press.
