ITALY.

The following manifesto hu been ascribed, on un-
certain authority, to Signor Musini. It has been
published se an address to the young men of Naples,
and is dated August 31, 1833:

And heally—for why should I not say it I—you are bound
to prove to Italy that your apathy in 1848 was not Luke-
wanner or want of affection towards your common
mother, but repugnant to rise while a doubtful banner was
waving in the field.

shall respond from the Lips. GI
