THE POPE.
It appears by the last letters from Rome, that the Pope has of late passed some time at Monte-Cavallo, to recover from the consequences of an apoplectic fit he was lately seized with, and which, added to the dropsy in his chest, announces the impending dissolution of Pius VI. Peaceable citizens feel the more uneasiness on the approach of this event, as symptoms of revolutionary commotions begin already to appear, and the moment of the Pope's death is anxiously waited for by Buonaparte to unfold and execute the grand projects he is said to have conceived. All persons able to leave Rome, depart from thence, to avoid being present at the catastrophe they dread.
