Sicilian brigands had captured the Duke of Saxe-Meningen, but liberated him on the payment of heavy ransom. The amount paid tbe Greek bandits for the ransom of Colonel Synge was £12,000. Colonel Synge is unmarried, and therefore the statement that his wife shared his captivity is untrue. Without approving the measure, the Pope submits to the expulsion of the Jesuits from France.
