A letter from Marseilles, written on the 9th instant, and published by the Univers, the organ of the clergy, shows that, notwithstanding 60 much said to the contrary by the French papers, the Pope has not yet abandoned the idea of taking refuge in Bologna rather than Rome.

There—" The ex-journalist, ex-historian, ex-minister, but actual Grand Cross of the Order of Charles IlL, proposes oget up a demonstration in favour of his ex- King, after the manner of that spontaneous burst of feeling of which some time ago Henry V. of France was the object and Belgrave Square the scene. As far as we can make out the new scheme, it is that a number of the least questionable adherents of the Orleans usurpation are to procure leave of absence from their duties in the National Guard and the National Assembly, in order to visit London en mane, and offer the homage of their loyalty and devotion to M. Is Comte de Neailly."
