The Pope very quickly reasured Mr. Russell, by adding that he was ignorant of the trials which Providence re- served for him; but that for the moment he had no apprehencion, and did not at al! dream of removing from Rome. Mr. Odo Russell, who doubtless reported this conversation to bis goverument, giving it, perhaps, more nuportance than it really possessed, was Semmedaniely, we are atsured, summoned to London by telagranh, Oa his return to Remo, in the month of November last, Mr. Odo Russell went to Cardinal Antonelli, and ehim a note in which Lord Russell, fier having supported the cause of Italian unity and the right of Italy to Rome? advised the Pope to ‘quit he Hie: City, announced that, tn case the Holy Father were disposed to follow this advice, the English Mediterranean would be placed at his service to convey Rim either to France or lo Spain, or to Malta, where o palace would be put at his divpescl, and where he cod wart freely till Maly had pro- nounced in relation to his soversignty. Mr. Odo Ruseel! in pre- senting the note of his government to his Holiness, Secre- tary of State, authorized him to make confidentially such use of itas he migbt think fit. The Cardinal hastened wo reply that he had no use to make of it, seeing that the Pope did not dream the Teast in the world of quitting Rome, ‘The intention of Hits Eminence was even, we are assured, to maintain complete silence in this matter, go a8 Dot to give to the proceeding of Mr. Odo Russeil an importance which it did not possess, But it soon became known at the Vatican, as Mr. Odo Russell himself spoke of it to one of the diplomatic employes accredited to the Holy See. Matiers remained there, however, and Cardinal Anvonelli rogarded the incident as terminated, when, according to what has been told to me, Mr. Odo Ruasell a sented himself to His Emimence on the occasion of the Christmas fetes, and mformed him that he had received a private letter froin Lord U,in which that minister expiessed his lively regret at ing that the Pope was not disposed for the moment to accept his propositions, adding that he bad reasons to believe that His Holiness would tn a very short (ine find himself under the necessily of profiting by them, Cardinal Antonelli abstained from muling any reply to this new communication, THE NEALTH OF THE POP) eve (Jan. 13) correspondence of the London Post.) ‘he state of the Pope's health has not been se satis! tery of late as his Holiness's friends could have wis! although he was sutliciently recovered on the afternoon of the 3ist ult. to attend the annual Je Dewm of thanksgiving celebrated in the Jesuits’ chorch. ‘The Pope continues to saiier trom orysipelas, and his doctors have deemed it advisable to open another issue i hus leg, in order to give &@ free course to the noxions humors, and pre. vent their invading the nobler and more vital parts of the body. But his Holiness bas aiso suf- fered morally of late, in consequence of two recent events: which have affocted him painfutly. I allude first to the death of his elder brother, Count Gabrie!
