Naples, May, 1864.
My Lords and Gentlemen,—At the moment when
General Garibaldi has just ingenuously announced
in public that he could never have succeeded in
his expedition to Marsala without the aid and con-
currence of your country; at the moment when the
man who has the most contributed towards the
destruction of our national autonomy receives from
free England such an enthusiastic reception ; at the
moment when the ministers of Great Britain, vying
with the aristocracy and the people,
have not
enough caresses for the fugitive hermit of Caprera,
may it be permitted to a son of the Two Sicilies to
raise his voice in the midst of your festivities to
describe to you, without partiality but also without
reticence, into what an abyss of sorrow his unfor-
tunate country is to-day plunged. God grant that
these truthful Words may reach the heart of the
illustrious English Parliament, and may lead to
some alleviation of the sufferings of Naples and
Palermo.

It is far from my intention, nay lords and gentle.
men, to pretend to place before your eyes a series of
political arguments confined within the limits of
theories and hypothesis ; there is no question here
either of our lost independence, or of our noble
fallen King, or of our devasted finances, or of sixty
thousand prisoners decimated by typhus, or of our
twenty-eight "plundered towns and villaggs, or of
our ten thousand brethren shot or massacred in
heroically unequal combats.
It is in the name of
humanity alone that I have the honour to address
which are held the most
sacrel by every people, in the
you, in the name of rights w
name of justice, im-
pudently trampled under foot, and it is within the
bounds of facts—of facts, slat ! too true and too
horrible—that I beg of you to be kind enough to
follow me for an instant.

Hon. Mr. Gladstone,

"Examination"t of the Right
bayndailidespolmoreaboltehelrevity and an evident party spirit
excited not very long
The heart of England arose in favour of those
thousands of tortured beings pining at the bottom
of noisome dungeons, and the cafe du silence went
the round of astounded and indignant Europe.
Even at the present time there are, without doubt,
many people convieced of the existence of this
dreadful instrument of torture ; they would be very
much astonished, then, at being told that it is in
vain that the regenerators of Italy, who were
nevertheless the auth)rs of this calumny, and of so
many others against the Bourbon dynasty, have
sought to discover, I do not say the instrument of
torture, but even a anis person who had been
tortured.

My lords and gentlemen, if formerly the heart
of liberal England oculd find such passionate ex-
pression for prisons o. fantasy, for imaginary tor-
tures, and for martyrs who existed only on the
paper of the revolutiot, what will not be its legiti-
mate indignation to-Say in presence of tortures
which recall the darkcet ages of humanity, in pre-
sence of martyrs whcse identity it is too easy to
establish ?

I leave to others thecare of relating the doleful
history of the Piedmontese conscription in the Two
Sicilies, and to describe the annual spectacle of
those thousands of 3oung refractory conscripts
passing manacled through our streets, of their
families imprisoned until the return of the fugitive
conscripts, of our towns blockaded at night by the
Piedmontese troops, af er the manner of recruiting
Cossacks.

I could dwell at length on the privations and
bruta ities to which our young prisoners are syste-
matically subjected ; but I ittlyQ pinnli&pi not to
stray from the region of facig—atl, moreover, they
will peak more eloquently than I.
