FATHER GAVAZZI ON ITALY,_At the close of a lecture
delivered in Wolverhampton on Friday, Father Givazzt
said :—Cardinal Wisernsit said he could not speak rf
the present occupant of the chair of St. Peter in words,
but only in hymns and mule. Ile (Gav,zii) had not
learnt the Irish brogue or to praise Pius IL Bat if I
have to praise him in I-alian music (he said in concluding).
it shall be the music of the bombardment at Rome—the
music of a breach in the strong wails of the Eternal City
—the music of the flames shooting high into the air from
the pile of the burning palace—the music of the 150
corpses that lie unburied, by his own instructions, without
the walls of Rome, to huffily by the sight of corrupt car-
casses of their fellows the surviving patriot Italians—the
music of 6,000 Italians in chains in twelve• Roman for-
tresses—the music of 10,000 families deprived of fathers
and husbands—the music of 7,000 exiles who were
now living out a miserable- existence in distant lands
—the music of 150 victims who, in one little Roman
State, have laid do su their liv,s upon the scaffold in order
to etpiate the crime of freeing Italy from all French, or
Austrian, or any such demented foreign rule ! . That is
my music. In the music of that Italian anthem lam
ready to march from Rome to Vienna, or horn Vienna to
Rome, fighting the Pope and gertroying his deadly influ-
ence. This I hope to live to sec—my Italy having the
open Bible in one hand and a tricoloured torn flag in the
other ; and then to march, to march again and again at
the head of my Italian followers towards Itoma. I hope
to stand with my flag upon the ruins of the Vatican, and
to say from their heal relics, to Europe, to say to the
whole world, " In spite of diplomatists, in spite of poli-
ticians, in spite of despots, in spite of priests, in spite of
Popes, Italy has become the land of freedom. Italy A 0
beautiful Italy ! Away with foreigner* 1 Away n
1 foreigners ! Amen,"
