Letter addressed to LA MARÉCHALE NEŸ, on the Election of POPE CAPELLARI (GRÉGOIRE XVI) - Autograph letter from ROME, January 18, 1831: "My Dear CHURCH, I begin without the Pope and I hope not to end in the same way, and to announce it to you by the courier from Spain who will deliver this letter to you... the good Cardinal ISOARD spoke well of you, Dear Church, which charmed me despite the fact that he did not hide your deafness from me... Cardinal de ROHAN CHABOT immediately entered the conclave, where he is unfortunately still, because this time they are not finishing, which annoys everyone..." (A bomb exploded at the door of the Conclave) "and made all of Rome believe that the pope was done; for in this case the Chateau-Fort must announce it with 40 cannon shots..." - letter incomplete 4pp in-8° - At the head of the letter: February 2, Pope CAPELLARI has just been elected under the name of GRÉGOIRE XVI, jubilation is universal here."
