1 MANIFESTO OF THE ROMAN COMMITTEE

OF INSURRECTION.

The Morimento of Genoa of the 23rd has the
following :

The Insurrectional Committee of Rome has issued the
following proclamation in favour of a fresh rising :
" Romans,—Our national aspirations having been dis-
regarded by Europe, seeing that we are made the sport
of the priest-King by unbelieving cosmopolites,
let us arm, and protest by our blood, against a govern.
ment which is the negation of civilisation and progress.
The days of October 22, 23, 24, and 23 will be memorable
in the history of the resurrection of nations. Crushed by
force we have succumbed, but the nation which fights for
its liberty and emancipation is oppressed but not con-
quered. Romans! Women, children, and harmless old
men, cruelly treated by infamous foreign zbirri, the cham-
pions of sacerdotal tyranny, cry aloud for ven-
geance. They shall have it. The insults re-
ceived from some of the props of the priests
by our brethren in prison will not remain unpunished.
He is no Roman who has sympathy with the soldier of
France, who has come again to stain the soil of our country
by his presence, and who has decimated our brethren at
Blentana. lie is no Roman who wears the fabrics of a
nation which has buried the immortal glories of 1789
beneath the shameful defence of the government of the
Syllabus. Romans ! Concord, perseverance, courage. Let us
wait and be ready. Our rights are now in the hands of the
Italian government, and are supported by it. If it should
abandon us, if Europe, disregarding our imprescriptible
rights, confirmed by demonstrations, by numerous ad-
dresses to the King of Italy, by the plebiscites, of our
brethren in the provinces, by our blood and that of many
brave Italians—should condemn us, as slaves of catholicity,
to endure the abhorred yoke of a theocracy; we shall then,
closing our ranks and swearing our sons, take up arms
anew, certain of either conquering or of not falling unavenged
to the cry of ' Long live Victor Emmanuel, King, in the
Capitol," Long live Garibaldi'
" Rome, Nov. 17, 1867."
The Mornnento comments on the above as fol-
lows :

We beg the Roman committee to observe that the
august personage whom it proclaims cannot be king in the
capitol ; that he has imprisoned Garibaldi, the man who
gives away kingdoms, and keeps him shut up in two damp
and gloomy rooms at Varignano. It is in the name of the
unity of the nation that they should proclaim Liberty
queen in the capitol. Apart from the inconsistency which
we have pointed out, the manifesto of the Romans is
good.
A letter from Vienna, says :

The second expedition of Franoe against Rome has
greatly diminished the number of the partisans of the
Austro-French Alliance. The policy pursued by the
French government in regard to the question of the
temporal power is strongly condemned.

The body of Major Cesar Martinelli, who was
killed in the battle of Montana, was buried on the
15th in the cemetery of Bologna. His remains were
accompanied to the grave by the University Asso-
ciation, the working mon's and democratic societies.
Several speeches were made over the tomb ; that of
Professor Ceneri made a deep impression.
The Roman authorities have given the body of
Henri Cairoli to his family. It will be conveyed to
Pavia, where it will be received with great funeral
honours.
