2 the Pope, By the Arabia’s news somo doubt was thrown out that the whole of the Austrian force had evacuated Ancona, but that tho corps d’armée which bad lef it were marching towards Venice, There can be nodoubt, how ever, now. It also appears that the Austrians were ia read that the garrison which evacuated Ancona would be cut off. It was lately stated that the Fronob intended Ammetintely to occupy;Ancona, and that a French ship-of- war had arrived before the city. RIMINI. ‘This city was the most northern, as Aucona was the most southern, of the five maritime cities which gave to the Lieutenant of the Emperor of Constantinople the title of “Exarch of the Pontapolis.’”” The cities governed by this Exarch were Rimini, Pesaro, Fano, Sinigallis and Ancona, His jurisdiction comprised nearly all that por- fon of the shores of the Adriatic embraced by the mo- dern provinces of Romagna. and Marca, There was an- other and more inland Pentapolis, from which this was often distinguished by the epithet ‘‘Maritima.”” Ia 1200, when Rimini belonged to the Gormaa empire, Otho IIL. Bont into the Marca as his Viceroy Malatesta, the ancestor Of that illustrious family to which Rimini is indebted for Me subsequent importance. His descondant Galootto was made Lord of Rimini by Clement Vi. It passed from the ‘Malatesta family to the Venetians by sale, and came ua- der the dominion of the Pope after the battle of Gora @’Adda. The Malatestas often endeavored to regain it, but the treaties of Tolentino in 1797, and of Vienna in 1815, confirmed it to the Church, The ancient port of Rimini, situated at the mouth of the Marecchia, has been gradually destroyed by the sands brought down by that stream, It is new the resort ef flahing vessels. The Population is about 16,000. Here is pointed out the chapel where St. Anthony preached to the fishes, because the people would net listen to him, The famous Council of 359, between the Arians and tho Athanasiaas, was held here. The principal object of classical interest is a triam- phalarch of Augustus, through which the road to Rome parses. It is one of the most remarkable monuments on tho eastern coast of Italy, and, like the bridge here, is Duilt of white marblo, PERUGIA. ‘This city is on the southern slope of the Apennines, op- posite to the side on which the cities which we have just described are situated. It 1s the only one on the Medi- fterranean side of the Apennines which, as far as we Dave heard, has as yet revolted, if we except the mani- Festations in Rome suppressed by the French. It is Bituated noar the bank of the Tiber, about half way be- tween Rome and the source of that river. This anoientcity was one of the most important cities of the Eiruscan League and became one of the Iialian republics in the Middle Ages. Of its history in Etruscan times little more is known than that its citizens were three times defeated by Fabius, and that it feil under the power of Rome when all the other cities of Etruria lost their independence. It was Desieged by Augustus, who starved it into a surreader, bat one of the inhabitants set fire to his own house, and tho ‘whole city was consumed. Augustus rebuilt it as a Roman olony, and commemorated the event by tho inscriptions which are still visible on two of its gstes, which are thus ‘as old as Christianity. Its history in the Middle Ages ia not less interesting than that of Bologna, althongh the struggles of this free city against the growing power of the Popes, and the contests which followed betweea the popalar party and the nobles, differ little from thosa which ‘were the precursors of the fallof nearly all the Italian republics. But the events which peculiarly mark the his- tory of this city bring before us one of the most extraor- dinary men whose characters were formed by tho cir- cumstances of this eventful period. This celebrated per- Bonage, Braccio da Montone (surnamed Fortobraccio), the rival of Sforza, and, like him, the founder of & new school of military tactics, was born at Pe- Fogia. As the commander of the Florentine army, he attacked his native city after its surrender to the King of Naples, who was supported by his great rival forza. Braocio commenced this memorable siege of Perugia in 1416; the inhabitants gallantly resisted, and at length called to their aid Malatesta, Lord of Rimini, who ‘was defeated by one of Braoocio'’s licutenants, The citi- zens then surrendered and received Braccio as their lord. His rule was marked with wisdom; he reunited the fac- tions and administered justice with an impartial hand. ‘The political existence of Perugia ended at his death, and the city returned under the dominion of the Church. Its affairs were administered by the Baglioni family, under the authority of the Popes; but the ambitioa of this noble house brought them into collision both with the people and the Holy Ses. After several contesis for the su- premacy, Pope Paul IIL. succeeded in reducing the city to subjection; and, after destroying all the remaing of its an- cient institutions, directed the construction of the present citadel as an effectual means of repressing any future out- break. From that time Perugia has, with few exceptions, remained in passive obedience to the Church. During the French invasion it shared the fate of other cities, and ‘became one of the component parts of the Italian republic. This city bas given birth to the great painter Pietro Perugino. In 1840 @ necropolis was discovered near it ‘Deneath the earth, in which were revealed most magnifi- cent tombs. Considerable portions of the walla and the foundations of the ancient gates are still preserved. The celebrated gateway, called the Arch of Avgustus, fram the inscrip- tion “Augusta Perusia” over it, ordered by Augustus himself, is the finest of the gates, and is flanked by two towers, These remains are grand specimens of Etruscan architecture. Ten miles to the west of Perugia is the beautiful Lake of Thrasimene, in a basin surrounded by the Apennines, snd famous for the defeat of the Romans by Han- nibal, who hemmed them in on every side. Sach was the slaughter that a little stream in the locality is ever Rince called “‘the stream of blood.”’ So desperately did the Romans Sight that they heeded not an earthquake which occurred at the time, and overthrew many cities and even mountains in various paris of Italy. Lord Byron thus makes allusion to it:— Troam By Tbrasimene’s lake, in the dofiles Fatal to Rorean rashaess, more at home; For there the Carthagenian’s warlike wiles Come back before me, as bis skill beguiles The host between the mountains and the shore, Courage fails in her despairing files, And torrents, swollen to rivers with their gore, Reek through the sultry plain, wita legions scatter’d over, Like to a forest fell’d by mountain winds; And such the storm of battle on this day, And such the frenzy whose convulsion blinds To all save carnage, that, beneath the fray An earthquake reel’d unheededly away!

And it does not mat- ter mucb, after all, who gots the Speakership or who shall be the chairmen of the various committees. Varieties are charming, and ag the democrats had the control of the last House, perhaps it is but fair that tho republicans should have the control of the next. ‘Tarn about,’ says the old adage, “tis fair play.” But be that as it may, it is premature to be discussing the question of the Spoakor- ship or heads of committocs. ‘The really interesting and important question is, Who is to be the public printer?—who is to have the few hun- twenty or thirty thousand country editors, who, atrol & aixty or eighiy electing @ republican President?

Tn spite of these losees, which have been going on for quitea number of years without seeming to impoverish him in the least, Mr. Rives bas recently been building a addition to his printing office, in the hope of cutting out Wendell & Co,, and transferring the inting bodily to Jackson Hall.

Governor Morgan's Pardons, Respites and Restorations His Manner of Proceeding—As Improvement on the O14 System, de. Since the adjournment of the Legislature Governor Morgan has exercised executive clemency to convicts in the several prisons and penitentiaries of the State with considerable liberality, Hoe pursues, however, # different course from that of any of his predecessors. Instead of deciding upon applications for pardon in the executive chamber, upon paper recommendations, or under the in- fluence of crocodile tears and affected sobbing, he pro- ceeded in person to the State Prison, where an interview could be had with the prisoners themselves. This gave ‘him an opportunity of witnessing their health, moral and physical condition, and of making a thorough examination into each cage. Applications for pardon out of Sing Sing and Auburn amounted to several hundred; the Governor recentiy visited those two institutions, and upon his re- turn to the capital issued pardons for about fifty of the umber. Those liberated from Sing Sing are as follows:— Apollo Goward, convicted of burglary in New York city. Burton Albert Hagadorn, convicted of ult with in- tert to kil. Jobn Curry, convicted in New York Daniel Brown, of Kings county, of 2 Jobn Drummond, of New York, of robbery. Louis Brapner, of New York, of burglary. Michael McCarty, of New York, of burglary. Perez Hitchcock, of Green county, of manslaughter. Jobn Moore, of New York, of burglary. William Jenking, of Kings county, of grand larceny. Peter Jenkins, of Kings county, of grand larceny. ‘Thomas Farren, of New York, of robbery. Jacob Thompson, of Dutchess county, of burglary. James Gillen, of Kings county, grand Iarceny, Samuel Jones, of Westchester county, grand larceny. J. Wesley Green, of New York, obtaining goods under false pretences. Norman L. Schaffer, Ulster, assault with intent to kill. Thomas Golding, of Queens, of robbery. Wm. D. Beck, of New York, of robbery. Hedy pardoned out of the Auburn inatitution are as foliows:— Newton Seeley, convicted in Monroe county of forgery. Goorge Empre, of Oswego, of grand larceny. William W.

HENRY A, WISE. Movements for the Charleston Convention— Curlows Developements. {From the Richmond Exquirer—home organ of Gov. Wis?,] THE PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECTS OF MESSRS. BUCHANAN AND DOUGLAS—IMPORTANT AND RELIABLE IN- FORMATION JUST RECEIVED. We have just received intelligence from a very reliable source, relating to the Jade eried and views of Senator Douglas with reference to the nomination at Charleston. The statement is substantially as followa:— Mr. Douglas entertains no doubts about the fature. Ho is a candidate, and confident of the nomination, as well as of the adoption of bis platform. He thinks the question is already determined—tl be can succeed without any aid from the Middle Ststes; that the united Northwest and Nortbeast are for him, beyond doubt, as well as several of the Southern States; that be is certain of votes enough already, without another State, In the South, he feels sure of North Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas and Loulsi- apa, sbongh some of them may votes ballot for other names. He regards all the Southern candidates, ie Governor Wite,as having virtually withdrawn from fild. He thinks they have no desive to risk the chances in 1860, and will prefer the nomination of some Northern man, in order to leave the field open for themeclves in 1864. This, he thinks, wil him the nomination in 1860, if no- thing elee should. If the candidate should, however, be taken from the South, in Mr. Dovglas’ opinion, Gov. Wise ought to be the man. He considers it beyond doubt that the vote of Vir- ginia will be cast at Charleston for Gov. Wise; but that his enemies in the party are doing their utmost to whisper him down outside bis own State; that the recout demon- ttrations in Wizo’s favor, through the press and the pub- lio meetings at the North, he being the only Southern man who has received euch au earnest of Northern support, are exciting jealousies among other prominent Southern men, who will combine against him; that they will make ‘the effort to bem him ip and leave the Virginia vote igolat- ed for bim; that seemg thet none of them can get the nomi- nation, they are determined that Gov. Wise shall not. It is thougtat aleo there is a secret Pierce movement in New England and in some parts of the South, which wi!l De cisclosed only in case it can be made to promise suc- ces; but this is regarded as out of the question. Afr. Douglas has no rdea of bolting from the democratis por under any circumstances. If a Southernman shall nominated, and the protection interpretatio of the Cincin- nati plaiform adopted, he will support the ticket, holding himself in reserve upon’ the principle; that he will not yield, But he regards the nomipation of a Southern candidste, or the adoption of the interpretation guarantecing Congres- sional protection to persocs and property in tho Territo- ries, a8 an event which cannot now occur. ‘As to his election, when nominated, Mr. Douglas enter- tains no doubt. He confidently anticipates receiving the electoral vote of the united Southern and all the North- ‘western States. Such may be eafely regarded as Senator Douglas’ posi- tion and calculation at present. According to Mr. Douglas’ view, then, there are but two candidates really in the field—viz: Senator Douglas and Gov. Wise. But our advices from Washington and elsewhere are Eufficient to asture us that a serious effort is making to place one more, at least, before the Charleston Convention. We pow entertain no coubt whatever that a movement is on foot to continue the present incombent in the posi- tion which he occupies. Wel! informed gentlemen in Weshington assure us that the especial friends of the Presi- dint are u.ing the names of the Hon. R. J. Walker and Gen. Lane, of Oregon, only as a ruse by which to divert support towards the President himself. This im, is reported to us as a firmconyiction. Other indications point the same way. Therecan be no doubt whatever ‘that at this time the New York Aznar posueases the con- fidence of the President ina more eminent degree than does apy other journal. Thus the following extract from the Beraty of the 3d inst , co.nciding, as it does, with the Previous tendency of its editorial comments, is unusually significant Tux ApmimistRATION BALYScE OF PoweR At CHARLES: Tox.—-It bas frequently been conjectured thet, as in 1844 and 18t2, all the outst ig democratic Presideaual candidates wiil, in their National Convention of 1360, devour each other, and that pome harmless, neutral, negative, compromise 4 date, like Polk or Plesce, will be the maa.
