as the Piazza Sciirra, the Piazza in front of
the Palazzo Borghese, &c. The administrative acts
of the Cardinals Hero the cause of this display of repres-
sive means. Scarcely had these three princes of the '
church arrived when they thundered forth their terrible
decrees. One dismisses en masse all the employes named
since November 16, 1848, and annuls the promotions
made—that would be nothing—but also institutes an
inquisitorial tribunal, called a council of censorship (un
consiglio di censure, per conoscere le qualite rs la con-
dotta deg l'impugati). You can see at once what a field
is open to denunciations, true or false. The other decree
has roused General Oudinot from his quietude. The
General is well aware what perturbations must be caused
in all the ranks of social order by the depreciation of the
paper-money of the Republic. He had caused it to be
marked with a French stamp to give confidence to the
persons in possession of it, and had even taken a journey
to Gaeta to induce the Pope to consent to that course.
But could the three Cardinals behold, except with an
eye of anger, assignats bearing the title of .Republica
Romana? They decreed its ds preciation. The General,
however, being informed in time of their intention, for-
bade the decree to be plaearded. The declaration of the
day before, by which he had given over all
his power into the hands of the consulting Corn -
mission, was alleged to him ; some conferences took
place on the subject, and the General obtained that
the carts monetala should only lose one-third. Thus the
note of 100 scudi is to be recognised as worth 65, of 50
scudi as 32i scudi. The Pontifical Commission gives a
cut at the General at the end of one of the two decrees,
where it says, The present notification shall have effect
throughout the State, notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary that may emanate from any other quarter
whatever.' To that the General replied, at the end of
a general order, by these words, ' Charged with the
task of strengthening social order in the Pontifical
States, the army preserves all the means of action which
are necessary to accomplish the high mission confided to
it by France, in the double interest of the Roman popu-
lation, and of the temporal authority of the Sovereign
Pontiff.' The conduct of the three Cat dinals testifies
to their ingratitude towards the General, for he omitted
nothing to please them. Count Pietro Mellara, of 13o-
logna, who was wounded on June 4, in a sortie from the
Porta San Prancrazio, expired on the 30th of July.
Several of the tree corps, which has been dissolve-d, de-
sired to have a mass celebrated on the Ist of August, for
their old commander; but a detachment of French sol-
diers caused them to disperse. This fact is stated in the
Giornale di Roma."

The prisons are crowded with persons of all ages
and sexes, and arrests are taking place every day. At
Bologna the Austrians are seizing, shooting, and
hastinadeing the unfortunate citizens at discretion ;
neither life nor property are safe where the Austrian
troops are.

Tile Bologna Gazette of the 6th contains a notifica-
tion from General GORZOWSKI, the Austrian Com-
mandant of the place, stating that the greater portion
of the followers of GARIBALDI, hare been taken pri-
soners, but that that " dangerous individual" is him-
self still at large. It forbids all persons to aid or
assist GARIBALDI, and declares that all those who
will be proved to have knowingly assisted him, or con-
cealed his hiding-place from the authorities, will be
handed over to the military tribunals.
The Turin papers of the 9th state that on that day
the news of the death of CHARLES ALBERT had been
communicated to the Legislative Assembly, which at
once determined, as a mark of respect to the deceased,
that the Chambers should not meet for three days. A
general mourning had also been ordered.
Alazzin has issued a second proclamation, which,
notwithstanding the strictest precautions, has been
affixed to the walls of Rome. It is as follows:

" Romans anifellow-citizens, your brethren of Lom-
bardy:--a land whose sons in 1848 gave the first signal
of a victorious insurrection, by abstaining from the use
of Austrian cigars, beseech you for assistance, and en-
treat you to reject the produce of France. May these
words, Roman citizens, which have been echoed on
other portions of the Italian soil, fall powerfully on your
ears, and penetrate your souls with patriotic unanimity,
that they may remain a solemn testimony that, among
usurpers and the oppressed, every bend, either moral,
material, or economical, is henceforward destroyed, until
the common liberty should again be re-established.
"Refuse, then, in the most determined manner, the
employment of the manufactured products, be they
wines or books—indeed, everything which comes from
France. Let there no longer be any commercial rela-
tions with that country; and when her sons shall offer
to you the various objects of their merchandise, point
them to the graves of the republican martyrs, and say
to these avaricious men, Your bales are blood stained
—they, besides, come from the same land whence at the
same time were brought the cannon which have killed
our brothers, and which have endeavoured to destroy
our Republic. Corrupted by egotism and love of wealth,
France is no longer of any importance.' Yes, Romans,
when the people of Paris shall have learned that the
French flag had, upon heaps of corpses, in the name of
the Papal King, been hoisted, instead of the flag of God
and the people, the security of France is assails d.
Strike these avaricious calculators in their dearest in-
terests. Show them that, sooner or later, crime will
always cover its authors with misery and infamy. Let
faith and constancy be our motto. God will bury on the
fate of those who have trampled under foot the rights of
humanity.
