London, Sept. 5. Letters from Rome of the 23d past say,
that Cardinal Gualtieri, Chief Councellor to the Chevalier
de St George, in a particular audience of the Pope,
solicited an augmentation of his master's pension; and that
the same has been granted by a general consent of the sacred
college. Who likewise ordered, that several ounces should be
added to all the loaves of bread sold through the
ecclesiastical state, without augmenting the price. That Te
Deum has been sung by express order of the Pope, on account
of the young French King's recovery from his late
indisposition; and that the Cardinal de Rohan, the French
King's ambassador, had given on the same occasion a thousand
crowns for the relief of the poor French damsels.
