AT THE VATICAN.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—The Herald's cable special says: The pope broke down a fortnight ago. After a period of unconsciousness he revived slightly on Saturday morning last. As night came on he grew worse again. The death rattle was heard in his throat. His condition alarmed the attendants. During Sunday he rallied, but as the sore in his leg, which had served as a safety valve, had closed, Prof. Vanzetti, the greatest physician in Italy, was summoned. He believes there is no chance of recovery, and that death will be without warning. Every time the pope rallies he is perfectly conscious. Cardinal Randi is dangerously ill of black small-pox, which is greatly alarming to the inmates of the Vatican. Cardinal Bartolini is also seriously ill.
