His Holiness Pope Leo XIU. appears to be a dlecidedly enigmatical personage, if we may trust the account given of him by the Romani correspondent of the Colo gnoe Gazetic. TIhie most striking fact about hinm so far appears to he the slight extenit to wvhiich his character is known eit her by the faithful at fairge or by the in mates of the Vatican. Evory one knew Jar .v Pins IX. lived; his hours were alloted beforehand, and the same duties alIways performed at the same moment. Thiere is a total want of this regularity in his succ'essor. Hie keeps~late hours, and h as somnetimes~ beecn found by his ser vanits at his desk in the early morning half dlazedl after writing through the unight. Hie hats all his meals served to himit ini the greatest privacy, is much mo( re sparing of audiences than was Pius, and even his State Secretary and the C~ardials can only see him at irregular injilervals. T1heo great innovation. he has mado~l hats been his partial supersession of the abiove mnentionied ofilcia l, who uni (j'r Pius IX. practically administered the atihirs of the the Papacy. He has set on foot a chancellery of his own, con sisting of three Private Secretaries, and conducts his affairs with their aid quite aindepenidently of the State Secretary, and( often)l over his head. It not unmfre uacntly happen" 'hat orders go down to tai he isihpries is .a the State Secretary, and re ennled inA a dlay or two by dif feret orders from the Pope, or that the Secretary brings papers to His Holiness iad tells him that he has settled a par t ieular matter in such a way, merely in order to lbe told that the Pope himself hand already sattledt it in quite a different way. One ithing is clear, that Leo XIUI. manus to be iuister in his own house; lit tthe exact aim and tendency of his poliey is by no meanis equally evident. SBut Leo comes from the country of the Cioccari, and it is believed in Italy that a man from that district is commonly rather deep-a notion which appears also to he strongly entertained by thes correspondent.-Pall MalU Gaiette. , smNoAoED lovers may be described as express companies.
