Ercole CONSALVI (1757-1824) cardinal, secretary of state of Pius VII. L.A.S., January 5, 1823, to a Highness; 1 1/2 pages in-4, in French. He has inquired about the arrest of His Highness's servant; the order does not come from the Governor of Rome, but from the Cardinal Vicar, to whom he has asked and from whom he is awaiting the answer: "I do not want Your Highness, awaiting my answer, to go to bed without knowing that I have made every possible effort to satisfy her"; he hopes to give her a favorable answer tomorrow.
