Rome, Feb. 19,1653.
You will doubtless have heatd of the
attempted revolution in Italy. Such
new* penetrates outwards to foreign
countries, more easily than within. All
journals are here subjected to Tigid cert
•oraliip; mail-bags are closely scrutiniz
ed; everything quickly suppressed that
is calculated to excite the people, or give
confidence to them in revolt. There is,
however, a sympathetic chord in this
land of beauty and genius, which, touch
ed, vibratjg quickly to evety heart-. It
M like thy fire-signals which in heroic
times conveyed to Mycenae, the doomed
destruction of Troy. An attempted rev
olution in Milan finds sympathizers in
Rome, at Naples, at Plamenv.-The
watch-word passes from mouth to mouth;
it cheers every heart. No one knows or
enquires bow the glorious news may have
come; it is enough that some have still
the spirit in will and to date.
No people in the world deserve more
eympa-hy than the Italians. Noble,brave,
generous, they are crushed to earth in
unworthy slavety by superior numbers.
The serried phalanxes of Austria, France
and Spain, are ever ready to extinguish
the first spark of liberty. Thus they
groan in bondage, without hopes fur the
future, taxed even to support their op
pressor. The time may soon come when
it shall no longer be so; all arc. indeed,
looking forward with anxious hopes.—
The prospect, however,nt preseut, is any
thing but promising. A sweeping fire
UtatahalljpTerrun.au Europe in ablaze,
is Italy’s 6nly hope.
The late revolt in Milan proved au
imprudent and unforium te move. Its
signal failure has fallen heavily upon
those who sigh for liberty in Italy; it
has for the time bound their chains firm-
er and faster. A successful blow a'ruck
in Lombardy might have changed the
face of the world. Sardinia, the strong
hold of constitutional liberty in Italy was
near to lend a helping hand; a alight jar
ring too might have disturbed the deli
cately poised equilibrium of the Aus
trian Empire. Hungary and the East
ern Provinces a t o ready to revolt. A
simultaneous move in Italy and Hunga
ry must have resulted in throwing oil'an
unjust yoke. But a fanatic outbreak in
the Italian provinces has. for the present,
blasted all hopes of immediate emancipa
tion.
It is now a hundred and fifty years
that the House of Austria has been push
ing its fortunes in the South. It has met
with but constant opposition in race,
language,and national prejudice; but its
movement has even been steadily on
ward. The firat conquest was the little
duchy of Mantua : soon followed the an
nexation of Lombardy, then known as
the duchy of Milan. 3t was origiualiy
inhabited by a bravo, though rude peo
ple called the Lorigobardi. The Great
Frederic of Barbarossa razed the impe
rial city of Milan to tbo ground.
Since 1714, the time this favored coun
try felliuto the possession of the Empire
it has seen varied foitune. It long fought
courageously against its oppressors; for
tune however was against it. It fell en
slaved before. superior numbers. But
when Napoleon swept like a rapid torrent
over Europe Lombardy was again free.
The great Republican Emperor put on
the iron crown in the cathedral of Milan,
amid the acclamations of the people. In
ISIS however, after Napoleon’s revers
es. the valley of the Po fell against treaty
of Vienna into the possession ot Austria.
A vico-regal government was established,
always distinguished for tyranny and op
pression; under the rule of Radetsky, for
cruolty. Impracticable attempts have
even been mode to extinguish tbo last
apark of national existence in a proud
and noble-people by merging them in a
consolidated Empire.
The recent cruelties of the vice-regal
or military Government, hastened the re-
volt at Milan. It seems to have been l»s-
to all sense of right and justice. Quiet
and inoffensive persons wore apprehend
ed upou mere suspicion, and, without
scarcely the form of trial, condemned to
death.
The conspiracy does not appear to have

Despotism has never laid"a heavier hand

ous than ever before. Tt is has beet, caus
ed, partly by the unsettled state of Eu
rope; the Government here fears and
dreads a revolt; partly to carry out an
extensive plan for the extinction of all
republicanism in the. Papal States. It
has been supposed that a movement was
ou foot having for its object a permanent
scheme to protect the Church m abso
lute authority river its-temporal domin
ion. Franco, Spain, Australia ah J Na
ples are supposed to be parties to it.—
Should these powers combine in a Rome
protecting league, adieu to all hopes of
liberty here.
The papal Government is, as ever
wisely distributing its patronsge and
power. Of the new cardinals appoint
ed, most from the adjacent Italian States.
Each brings a new legion of defenders to
the Church. France and Austria, at the
same time, are satisfied at the 'recogni
tion of their power. The Archbishop of
Touts end Primate of Hungary, are
among the number. The latter has dis
tinguished himself for strict subservien
cy to the Couit of Vienna. Within two
years France has given two Cardinals to
Rome.
It is positively determined that the
Pope will go to Paris to crown the Em
peror. This will take place some lime
in the month of May. It is curious that
the fates of Pius Seventh and Pius Ninth
are so similar under the two Empires.—
Napoleon the Great, conquered the form
er, led him in triumph to his coronation
and kept him long in imprisonment.—
The Imperial Nephew has the latter in
his power, will drag him to Notre Dame,
and it may he will not soon let him go.
There are many fortresses in France
where Pius Niuth might find an honora
ble retirement.
Though all try to put a cheerful face
on a stern necessity, it is said, the Papal
court is quite dispirited. To be led a
bound prisoner to France is humiliating
indeed. There is, however, no escape.
There nre twenty thousand French
troops at Rome; they hold all the strong

Tlic Nciv York Appointments.
We transfer to our columns, from the
New York Evening Post of Thursday
last, the following letter on this subject,
as stating with substantial accuracy the
policy in which the important appoint
ments to which it refers have been made.
Taken in connexion with the editorial
com met of the Post, which we also copy,
the letter is a significant indication of the
spirit in which this ac ion of the admin-
stration has been received. In further
reference to this point, wc take occasion
to sute that the rumor published in sev
eral of the New York papers of Thurs
day, to the effect that two of the gentle
men named have declined the prominent
official positions assigned to them, is al
together wilhouat foundation in fact:
From the Ereuing Post.
The New Your Appointments.—We
give below an impoilant letter from a
friend at Washington, whose personal
relations to the President may he regard
ed aa stamping a character of entire re
liability on his statements. It will be
read with no small interest at this mo
ment, in connexion with the pointments -
which the public mind is now hard at
work in digesting. If the whole works
through in practice, as ourcorresppond-
cut hopes and seems to anticipate, it will
will furnish a more remarkable instance
of the President’s sagacity and adminis
trative talent than anything which he has
yet dune.
Our correspondent, wo need hardly
observe, has not exhausted the subject
he has attempted to discuss ; but it is fair
to him to say that lie has only attempted
to present a singlo aspect of it/ The fact
which he slates, and which, like all his
statements offset, may be implicity con
fided in. that the combinations adopted
received the “ready concurrence' of the
entire cabinet,” is one which deserves to
have great weight in shaping the opin
ion nfthe President’s solution of the New
York case, upon which the public mind
shall ultimately settle down :
Washington, March 30, 1853.
The long suspense in ’regard to bnr
leading appointments i 3 at last over, and
you see what they are.
The first irtu>res»iomt,py will produce
will he surprise; the second may be dis
satisfaction on the part of each section
of the party, that so much is done for the
ollu r side, and that their own particular
wishes have heeu disregarded; but the
third impression. Which I think will re
suit from a deliberate consideration
carrying out the' President's own policy
of fusion, consolidation, 1 nod reintegration;
on the ,basis of oblivion of past divisions,
and impatially in the dispensation of pat
ronage. --
For the naval office, a distinguished
democrat from the western part of the
State has been taken—-a hunker and a
friend both of Dickinson and of Matey,
and oue who had become known to the
President as being a little objectionable
to radicals for the office of collectors as
any man of that side. He was, in fact,
seriously thought of for the collectorship;
but on the whole the President preferred
the stronger policy indicated above—
that of taking the representative heads
and leaders in person, and inviting them
around him to stand before the public as
the imbodied expression of his own ideas
of thorough and cordial fusion and re-un
ion of the old democracy of New York.
* The post office in the hands of Fowler,
a first tate radical, and the district attor
neyship committed.to those of O Conor,
signally carry out the same idea.
Swackhamcr, to whom the navy agen
cy is given, has been a strong hunker,
hut one of that class favorable to the radi
cal Slate policy, and to the reunion of
party, having, indeed, been an active sup
porter of barnburner candidates for office
in Kings county, through the columns of
his paper, the Williamsburg Democrat.
He is an honest man, and was a mem
ber of the Legislatureof 1842, mida warm
admirrer and supporter of Michael Hoff
man and the famous “policy of ’42.” He
is understood to have been especially fa
vored by Governor Marcy for this ap
pointment.
Delevan, who is the naval storekeep
er, is well known as a zealous supporter
of reunion of the party towards which he
has rendered good service.
Dickinson O’Conor, and Hillyer, (as
marshal.) strong hards; Dix. Cochrane,
and Fowler, strong barnburners—there
is the apportionment; with llcdfield,
Swackhamer, andDelavan, hunkers qual
ified as above stated. The significance of
this is so piainthal he who runs may read;
and it is evident that the President has
designed purposely to make it so. It is
perfectly understood too here, among
those who have conversed with him upon
the subject, that he expects an intends
that all the-subordinate patronage under
the several offices is to be administered
on the same idea—namely, that of impar
tially and reunion. This understanding,
and implied pledge of political and per
sonal honor, necessarily accompanies
each appniutmeni, and is involved iu its
acceptance. So the President (as I posi
tively know) himself understands it, and
wishes it to be understood, by the public;
as well as by ilte individual gentlemen
concerned. And the incubents of the
higher offices of patronage and influence
are certainly men whose standing before
the country, personal and political, ought
to afford to all, satisfactory guarantee th^t
they will be faithful to the spirit as.well
to the letter of the liberal -and compre
hensive policy thus laid down by the
President, and expressed in their,per

There are two further points worthy
of notice in connexion with theoe appoint

the exception of the mar&halship) tender

have notapplied for anything. This is par

The death of Mrs. Fillmore was an
unexpected occurrence. She was in
her usual faelth at the last drawing room,
immediately proceeding the inaugura
tion. She took cold it is said on the
occasion, and was unwell for some days,
but still made every preparation for the
intended family tour through the South.
Her disorder was pneumonia, and term
inated her sxistence at nine o’clock this

Tho President issued an order for
closing the public offices during the day,
in token of public respect for the de
ceased/and sympathy for her bereaved,
husband. and family. The Senate met
at 12, and the molancbqlly event being
announced, immediately adjourned.
Mrs. Fillmore’s remains aria, of
course, to be conveyed to Buffalo, ac
companied by her family and friends.
1 he New York appointments were a
great puzzle to the administration, on
aeount of the waning democratic ele
ments in that State. One set of nomi
nations was determined upon on Friday
night last, but the arrangement was bro
ken up at the urgent interference 'of
some ofthe New York.hunkers. i
Finally, the President took upon him
self the settlement of the question, and
he named the man himself and nomina-

FAITHFUL EXECUTION OF ALLTHE
PROVISIONS OF THE COMPROMISE v
NALITY TO THE SLAVERY AGITATION
THE NEW YORK APPOINTMENT^
The iutroductnry chapter in Gen. Pieree’rjj.
ministration, taken iu connection withthe coa-
stmetion of his cabinet, and hit app„i ullDrnt , to
federal offices generally, doe* not rwdvciy oell
to the ears of honest men iu either quarter the
Union. The selection of a Southern SecwaonUt
to a seat in his cabinet, from the theatre of
upon the compromise question, was no hronbls
omen of either his justice or consistency. Hi,
subsequent appointment from the tame regions
of an ultra resistance man. to the bench of the
Supreme Court, iu the person of Mr. Campbell,
of Alabama, whom we understand to hare bees
the author of the Report of the fin-l KuhriiU
Convention, over the head of Mr. Dowm, of
Louisiana, wes another set by no mentis calc«W
ted to inspire confidence in the hrml* of the
Union democrats of the Southern Statu, who
met these men arid tlieir associates iu one n tbe
fiercest struggles for the existence of the Unka,
recorded in our annals. It seems to hive bets
the determination of Gen. Pierce to tike tbe
Southern ditunionuts under tfs special faviruni
protection, aud to establish them in compleledir
minion over the democratic organisations of tbe
Southern Stoles in which they constituted ma
jority of the party.
The same remark is applicable to the Tut
Soilers in the greatand powerful State of New
York, where he fonud them the ruliug power «t
the party, mid has sanctioned their dominion by
the appointment of their head chief, (Gen. Dir,)
nnd others, to the most inflneniial position*whk
in the gift of the odniiuietraiiotv His pdicj
appears to be, to establish a great National fVrt-
toil, Union, Stension, Jaeiton, Ttan Burn, Cil
honn party, that shall take postion of the coaslty
and rule for all time to come, lord of the suceri
ant, uuder the name ofthe Democratic Party.
However magnificent the scheme tuny lief*
the purposes of power Or dominion, we mint
t>e permitted to doubt whether tbe America
people will sanction ihe unprincipled comities
between such antagonistic element,. It no*
turns out ihnf, notwithstanding Gen. Tierce war
balked in his desire to take Gen. Dix into bis
cabinet as the representative of the Freesoilen,
he effectually carried out hit design by the ap
point ment of Marcy, who prove* to be tn ally of
the Freeseflen. and favorable to giving them the
most lucrative and influential posts in the Sls’s
of New York. 8o much so. that he is reprewst-
ed to have taken the appointment of Mr. DU-
intou, the chief of the Hunkers or Compromi**
men, in high dudgeon. How thisflngranf depart
ure from principle, oh the part of Gen. Pierce,
in the appointment to office of Southern $****•
sioui&ts and Northern Freesoilers, bs* recently
been mot in the Senate of the United Slates, tu*T
