tied beneath it, his arms pinioned, and his thumbs
tied together.
The following is the address of the Roman
National Committee :--
« Romans! the King of Italy has spoken. He
has asserted his right to demand of Europe full jus-
tice for the nation. He has promised that when the
hour for the accomplishment of the great work shall
have arrived his voice shall again be heard among
us. LA us trust to his word. When the first sol-
dier of Italy speaks of delay we must believe in the
necessity of it ; but it will be short and the last.
" Romans ! Venice and Rome have had to endure
a longer and harder trial of misfortune than any
other Italian towns, but this has not subdued your
courage; it has strengthened in you the manly re-
solution to persevere in your purpose, a resolution
which decided the greatness of your forefathers,
the proofs of which to Europe are the thousands of
our brothers who, whether in exile or in prison,
have long paid the tribute of affection
si to
ne Italy
Proofs, too, arc the addresses which yousigned a
year ago, in spite at sacerdotal threats and anger,
in which you boldly affirmed your rights to your
King, and to the Emperor of the French ; proofs,
too, are the 500 families who, since that time, have
suffered violent perquisitions, or have nen their
dear ones imprisoned or exiled, as too, lastly, are
the hundred demonstrations which you have made,
especially those during the Carnival, which com-
pelled the Minister Billault to solemnly confess in
the Senate that the Romans had said enough, and
that the day on which the French army should
leave Rome a bloody insurrection would restore it
to Italy. Strong in the rights of the nation and
in the facts which attest to the world what is the
force which prevents you from exercising your
rights, the King of Italy will appeal to Europe for
justice. We believe that he wiil be heard; but
should it not be so, you will have exhausted all the
proofs of civil wisdom that could be expected from
a people, in order to show that they are worthy of
their high destinies. Who will then dare accuse
Italy and you of imprudence if you take the advice
dictated by your desperate condition, and imposed
on us by our resolute forbearance ?
" Romans ! We need not tell you be ready ; we
know that you are always ready. We tell you once
more, restrain yet a short time longer your just
anger and your reasonable indignation. Show the
world yet again that you can govern yourselves.
"We repeat it; we believe that the hour of jus-
tice is near at hand, but if the voice of the King
shall tell you that he is unable to obtain it, you will
show to Europe that the Roman people are worthy
of being the people of the capital of Italy. You will
prove once more that as you have been able to prac-
tice the wisdom of Fabius, it is easier for you to re-
member that you have in your veins the blood of
Decius and Camillus.
" Italy for ever ! Long live Victor Emmanuel !
" THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
Rome, Aug. 11, 1862."

THLI MOTTO OF "ROME OR DEA71.1."

Mr. John M'Adam, of Glasgow, the persona
friend of Garibaldi, of Kossuth, and indeed o
nearly all the leading Continental patriots, has
written a letter to the Glasgow Herald in reference
to their present state of Italian affairs. He says—
" Now, Sir, the personal danger to Garibaldi and
his friends is their affair, and it is for them to judge
the time and manner of obtaining their national in-
dependence; and all that we have any right to in-
terfere with, is how far they may involve us, or
affect our international relations with France. It
is quite simple and plain, should our Government
remain quiescent, that France will absorb Italy
piece by piece ; and we may quietly withdraw from
the Mediterranean, and await our turn of French
invasion. Think, for a moment, what true Scotsmen
would say or do, if Napoleon gave us then a 13
years' taste of the Pope and the Inquisition in Edin-
burgh, and when, after 13 years respectful remon-
strance we demanded their removal, we should be
told that the French flag could not be removed by
threats.'
"But, 30 years ago, France was influenced by
threats when President Jackson demanded indemnity
for some American citizens, and it was impertinently
refused, unless ho would apologise for the demand.
His answer was No; by the Eternal!' and the
French paid the money. So will it be now. We
cannot judge of French sentiment regarding Italy
with a muzzled press, and where every fourth man
or woman is either a spy or under their evil influ-
ences. We know, however, and Napoleon knows,
that a strong, educated, organised party exists in
France (and bides its time) which supported him
when fighting for, but will not permit his fighting
against Italian independence. The dread of this
very republican party has more than once kept Na-
poleon's colonels from trying the Roman game in
this country, and France is weak for aggression on
Britain if our Government maintains its ground
against further French acquisitions in the Mediter-
ranean.
" When we remembered the direct lie told by the
astute Cavour regarding the cession of Savoy and
Nice, even after the cession was made, we placed
little dependence on any denial of a bargain being
attempted for Sardinia, and we may now judge
from the plots hatched under the nose of the
French garrison in Rome whether Murat and
Prince Napoleon do not now hanker for the Vice-
royship of Sicily and Naples. Ruffians of the black-
est dye have gone from among them, bringing the
Government of Victor Emmanuel into contempt
among the people won for him by Garibaldi, and
the earnest personal services of Joseph Mazzini, of
whom your Paris correspondent evidently knows
nothing except what he learns from his enemies in
France. Garibaldi felt that Victor Emmanuel was
permitting the enemies of Italy to estrange his
people, and like a bold unselfish man, he is again
preparing to draw the sword ore it be too late, and
it is not for Scotchmen to object who remember
their ancestors' struggles against greater odds than
now really exist against Garibaldi.
" I repeat my former assertion, that Victor Em-
manuel must go with his people, or he must go with
their arch-enemy ; 22,000,000 of people more
united, considering the circumstances, than any in
the world, are not to be enslaved by one who has
not a decent man in Europe that would lament his
expulsion. Let him throw himself against Gari-
baldi, he will never Mlle out of Italy; let Austria
move, Hungary will prove more than its match, for
Russia can be found work this time among its own
people, not to speak of Poland and the free peoples
of Germany, dependent neither on Austria nor
Prussia. There is now a good feeling between the
peoples of Hungary and Italy, and they won't again
be hounded on one another as heretofore.
" I know this to be a bold, generous effort, as
before, of Garibaldi, who won at his own great risk,
while Victor Emmanuel pocketed the gains. Hear
what Joseph Mazzini says on the 22d inst. :
"' My dear Friend—lt is perfectly true—spite
of the calumnies of The Times—that for eighteen
months I have been trying to persuade Garibaldi
that all our first efforts were to be directed towards
Venice. Now, however, the die is cast. The absurd
opposition of the Government to all schemes con-
cerning Venice, the insolent obstinacy of Louis
Napoleon, and the instinctive feeling of the Italian
people, have decided the question. It is too late to
discuss—a whole people are uttering the watch-
word of Rome; we must obey it, and I am helping
the movement with all my capabilities. If G. lands
it will prove irresistible.
" ' That, however, the flower of our youth should
have to plunge in war and slaughter for the purpose
of conquering what is our own—that a foreign
Emperor should doom thousands to death, because
he hopes to keep what is not his—is a shame for
Europe. That France, Voltairian France, and a
man who believes in nothing except
murder and slaughter in the name of that lie which
they call the Pope, is only adding hypocrisy to
