THE REV. EDWARD IRVING.

---
(G neluded from The Sun of yesterday.)}
Mr. IRVING was heard in rt ply. He denied that he had
any wish to sop the course of justice by any thing .which
be said on Friday last. The next thing that bad been
said was, that the subject matter befote the Presbytery
was not a question of doctrine, but a question of discipline.
Now discipline, he averred, without doctrine, was nothing
but tyranny ; the definition of discipline, separated from
doctrine, was absolute tyranny, and nothing doe. If he
was wrong, show him in what he had erred. But lie de-
nied the assertion. It was not a question of discip'ine—
it was a question of doctrine ; and it they really were, as
they were said to be, the manifestations of the Holy Ghost,
what body on the face of the earth, what court under
Heaven would dare to interpose to put them down? As-
suming, however, for a moment, that it was question of
discipline, for what breach of discipline could a minister
be deposed ? For heresy ; for neglect of duty, without
notice to the Pieshytery ; for adultery, and fornication.
The Rev. Gentleman then proceeded to argue the point at
great length.
The MODERATOR said, that the Court considered this
a mixed question of doctrine and discipline.
Mr. IRVING resumed.—He was happy to heir it, and he
trusted that opinion would have its proper weight with
the Court. The Reverend Gentleman then proceeded to
argue upon another part of the charge, with reference to
the depositions (if the witnesses, and he contended that
their testimony must be received and attended to. But
then it had been said that the proceedings at the chapel in
Regent-square were outrages on common feeling and
common decency. " 0 Lie d," said Mr. Irving, " for-
give the words, forgive, 0 Gcd ! the lips by %Illicit they
were tittered."
The Reverend Gentleman then pioceedeil to vindicate
his conduct in allowing persons to speak in unknown
tongues and prophesy in his church. He said that it did
not follow because those persons did not always speak what
was right, that they were not prophets; because it ap-
peared from the words of Jeremiah, that he had himself
been d, ceived ; far he said, " 0 Lord, thou bast deceived
me ; and I was deceived." The next charge was that of
having permitted unauthorizA persons to eater his chap 1,
and topreach in these unknown tongues. He, however,
ha I autheezed them so to do as angels of the Lord,
and that man lived not whom he would permit to
come between the m and himself and the Lord. The
Reverend Gentleman then said, that for half a day
he bad it in meditation to leave the Presbytery, but lie
was prevented from doing so by the reflection that I e was
a p istor, and that the souls of hundreds were in his keep-
ing He therefore felt that it was his duty to lay aside all
priva'e feelings ; and what was his reward ? By preaching
the gospel he had within six months converted to the
Church of Christ upwards of 200 souls, and of those not
less than 20 bad been brought from the paths of infidelity.
After spending hours in examining communicants, he could
not help saying to himself, " It was for good that you
were brought here as a pastor of tie. church," convinced as
be was that thousands had been converted by his ministry.
He was a man of unblemished character, and a minister of
Christ. He would not therefore floe from the charges
brought against him ; but his judges now knew what they
had to rest on in giving judgment, and they should give heed
to it, or the Lard would give heed to them. In conclusion
he would say, that though he believed that the trustees
had in this matter erred, though unknowingly, and had
made themselves enemies of Christ and the cross, although
he believed them enemies, yet lie believed that they
knew it not ; and although he, as a uaetnber of
church of Christ, was bound to consider them his
enemies, yet he Imied them not the lens. He had on
one occasion celled this Presbytery a Court of
Anti-Christ; but he would wash their feet with his tears,
and wipe them with the lia:r of his head, if he could even
by those means prevail on them to renounce the solemn
decision by which he was precluded from appealing to the
Holy Scriptures. The head of the Church," continued
the Rev. Defendant, " may do as he pleaseth with me or
my flock; hut never, never, 0 thou Head of the Church,
allow this Court of ministers and elders to decide—that
the voice of the Holy Spirit shall nut be heard. Into thy
bands, 0 Lord, I commit it."
The MonErtaroa—l wish to answer a statement that
has been made by the Rev. Defendant, who It as accused us
of preventing his appealing to the Scriptures. It must be
obvious to every one that no such intention could have been
entertained except as an objection to the line of defence
which the Rev. Defendant was pursuing, since the Court
p ttiently listened to his appeal to the Scriptures during four
good hours. He therefore hoped the Rev. Defendant
would retract those observations.
Fur. Treviso said, it was true that he had referred to
Scripture, but then he had entered his protest against be-
ing prevented from giving scriptural truths in evidence o

a matter of fact. He had entered that protest, because
he meant to let the Lord High Chancellor of England
know, that a Scottish Presbytt ry bad refused to appeal
to Scripture as an authority—ay, to those which were
part and parcel of the laws of England.—(Here the Rev.
Gentleman's supporters cheered and clapped the seats
loudly.)
The MODERATOR called for " Order
Mr. IRVING said, that in what he had determined upon
respecting an appeal to the Lord Chancellor Ile had not

even consulted his agent ; but conceiving the act of the
Presbytery to be an insult to the King of England, be was
determined to make it known.

Mr. MANN, on the part of the trustees, said, that he
was aware he could not, eonsistenly with the rules of the
Court, make any reply to the observations of Mr. Irving; ;
hut be wished it to be publicly understood that he gave his
ascent to none of the statements which that Rev. Gentleman
had advanced.

The 1110DERATOR then put the question, " that the Pres-
byte! y adjourn from that time (a quarter to tour o'clock)
until six in the evening."
Mr. litviNG slid that he bal to preach at seven o'clock,
and could not attend, but he hoped his absence would not
he considered as any mark of disrespect to the Presbytery.
Mr. M•LEAN said, that under these circumstances, it
would be as well to adjourn until to-morrow.
Mr. IRVING—No, no. I base no wish for such •ad-
journment, nor have I any desire to be present.
Mr. MANN was commencing to make some observations
upon the recantation of Miss Hall (as we understood),
when he was called to order by the Moderator, and also
interrupted by Mr. Irving, who rose, and with great vehe-
mence, sail that he would hear no reflections cast upon
Miss Hall, who was a lamb of his ft !ck.--(Cheers.) The
Rev. Gtntleman persist:d in making further oh:er-
vatimis despite the entreaties and calls of " Order" on the

part of the Moderator, who was in return interrupted by
cheers from the supporters of Mr. Irving.
The Presbytery, after prayers were delivered, then ad-
journed till six o'clock.

In the evening the Presbytery met again, and, after a
discussion of four hours and a half, the Court unanimously
came to the following decision :—" That this Presbytery,
having seriously and deliberately considered the memorial
and complaint presented by the Trustees of the National
Scotch Church, Regent-square, and the evidence adduced
before them, together with the statement by the Rev. E.
Irving, and acting under a deep and solemn sense of their
responsibility to the Lord Jesus Christ, as the great head
of the Church, do find that the charges contained in the
said complaint are fully proved ; and therefore, white
deeply deploring the painful necessity which is imposed on
them, do hereby decide, that the Rev. Edward Irving has
rendered himself unfit to remain the minister of the said
National Scotch Church, and ought to be removed there
from in pursuance of the provisions of the trust deed."
It was half-p ist ten o'clock at night i,efore the Pre.sby-
tery pronounced their d,cision, which W. 13 received with-
out the slightest manifestation of approval or disapproba-
tion on the part of the audience in the chapel.
At the request of Mr. Mann, a certified copy of the de-
cision was directed to be prepared for him by the clerk of
the Presbytery.

The Hon. and Rev. Dr. GREY, Dean of
Hereford, will, it is said, be immediately rais:_d to the see
of that diocese, vacant by the death of Bishop HuisTmtc-
roar), in which else another vote will be gained for the
Reform Bill.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS

(From the Mmes-Private Correspondent.)
PAEIS, TUESDAY, MAY I.
You will find in this day's Moniteur a Royal ordinance,
appoining Ili. Girod de l'Ain, late President of the Chant
her of Deputies, to the office of Minister of Public Instruc-
tion. M. Girod del'Ain has never distinguished himselt
n his public career otherwise than as a steady adherent
to the principles which M. C. Perier adopted as the hasi
of his system. Previously to his election, through M.
Petier's influence, to the Presidency of the Chamber, he
had been Prefet of Paris, in which capacity he did nor
give proofs of much eptitude for the duties of any executive
department of-the State. As Presidt nt of the Chamber of
Deputies, however, he was more successful. Though
sometimes accused of want of energy in enforcing its regu-
lations for the }reservation of ot der, the zeal and impar
•iality with which he discharged the duties of that station
have never been questioned.
Mr. 'Mere had been previously spoken of as the pro
bible successor to M. Montalivet in the department of
Public Instruction; but that gentleman being at Aix,
on his way to Ita'y, much loss of time must have oc-
curred before any definitive arrangement with him could
have been made, and doubts arose to his willingness to
accept the last place in a Cabinet of which he conceives
himself qualifiid to be the chief. Other considerations
contributed, in part, to the decision which was ul-
timately taken not to attempt to disturb the progress
of his journey. Though of a nature not yet to have be-
come kown by the public, I have reason to believe that
they are founded in fact. M. Thiess' journey to Italy is
not entirely for amusement. He is the bearer of a confi-
dential mission to Naples, the object of which is to
strengthen those bonds of relationship which subsist be-
tween the reigning families of France and Naples, by a
political understanding, which should check the growing
influence of Ausetia at the Neapolitan Court, and ulti-
mately supersede it altogether. This delicate and difficult
mission could not be intrusted at this moment to any one
more fit to undertake it than M. This re, and hence the
unwillingness to call him bark. This gentleman, by the
way, appears to have lost much favour among his towns-
-men and constituents at Aix, in Provence. On the night
of his arrival there, he was regaled with one of those sere-
nades called charivari, wherein frying-pans, kettles, pokers
and tongs, are made to take the place of more tuneful
instruments, in order to express political sentiments on
the part of the concertanti, not at all in harmony with
those of the person for whom the treat is intended. Tie
commissary of the police very foolishly proceeded to the
spot where this concert was held, at the bead of 500 rid i-
tary, whose exemplary behaviour prevented the shedding
of blood. This inconeiderwe practice of calling out the
military on every trifling occasion intended as a harmless
illustration of the unpopularity of Ministers and their poli-
tics, betrays a degree of sensitiveness on their part which
is at once absurd and dangerous.
It was yesterday reported that M. C. Perier was dead.
This, however, prOved incorrect; hut I am sorry to say
that the present state of his health is such as to have af-
forded some excuse for the rumour. The fi's of in rvous
excitement to which he is now subject have reduced him
to such a state of weakness, that the greatest fears are en-
tertaMed by his friends. M. d'Argout, the Arnister of
Commerce. is recovering very fast, and will probably be able
to transact business in a few days.
Letters of a recent date, received to-day from the Hague,
say that no relaxation whatsoever took place in the King's
resolution not to accede to the treaty, after the arrival of
the news of the remaining ratifications having b -en signed.
The King thinks that it is possible to gain something by
obstinacy, and knows that he runs no risk of los,ng any
thing by it; he will therefore moat probably hold out to
the utmost.
You will find in to-day's papers a singu'ar document,
bring a circular letter from the new Minister of the Inte-
rior to the Prefects of dm dqoarLmentß, containing the
Government's political profe•sion of faith, inviting those
functionaries to conform themselves to it, and giving them
a few instructions which induce people to ask whether
tite writer forgot that he is the Minister of a Govern-
ment which sprung from the revolution of July.
One p tragraph especially, in n hich the Minister says
that parties are never at rest, and defeat does
nut teach them submission, and enjoins his agents
to watch over their movements, and be on guard against
their attempts, more particularly renaindssotne people here
of the system of espionnage which existed under the Im-
perial Gevernment. The injunction was evidently well
meant; but it affords fresh testimony cf the little which
is yet known here of the forms of a constitutional Govern-
ment, an I of the individual rights of a free people, as de-
fined and secured by laws.
The official accounts relative to cholera manifest a con-
tinued decline of new cases and death-, in the same pro-
portion that it has been fur 811111 e days past. The disease
has not reached any new department, up to the dates re-
ceived to day.
Of foreign news I could not *ay much besides referring
von to an article in the Augsburg Gazette of the 27th
according to which the King of Spain has unequi-
illy declared that be will support Miguel.
P.S. Quarter alter Four r.m.—l have just time to
add, that it is reported that M. Casimir Perier died halt
an hour ago. I cannot ascertain the fact before closing.
(From Galignani's Messenger.)
Last night a Cabinet Council was held at the hotel of
the Minister of War.
The Ali:liver of the Interior addressed the following cir-
cular to the Prefects of the Departments, dated April 30 :
" Sir,—On being intrusted by the King for the second
time with the administration of the Interior, I feel myself
called upon to explain to you under what auspices our re- .
lations arc renewed, the nature of which is not changed
any more than the system of the Government. Although
a melancholy circumstance has deprived the Council of the
services of the statesman who presided over it, it is still
the Ministry of March 13 that addresses you. We shall
remain faithful to the principles by which the GoYern-
ment has been guided for upwards of twelve months, and
to that system which has been consecrated by the votes of
the Chambers. These true principles of a representative
Government will not allow of our deserting that system,
without a species of ingratitude and breach of faith towards
the constitutional authorities who have intrusted us with
its execution, and to whom we are responsible. For the
general rules of your administration, you will therefo,e
refer entirely to the circulars which have been successively
addressed to you since the 13th of March, 1831, particu-
larly to that of March 20, which so distinctly traces out
the line of your duty, and explains with so much c
dour the means and bases upon which the King's Go-
vernment wishes to found an alliance between power and
liberty, and under their auspices develope the true con-
sequences of our glorious revolution. We have no mo
ditication to make in these instructions. Your duties will

to point'out to you the happy results produced by this
nienvecrovnafory, rm
policy duiing the first year of its action ; it is the best
means for encouraging you and all the friends of the Mo-
narchy of Yuly to follow with a first step the line which
the Governinent has traced out for maintaining the na-
tional interests. You have seen, and have sometimes had
to combat, the efforts of the different parties who have frets
time to time risen up, and who have united their banners
of colours so different against the French standard, around
which the National Guard and the army have constantly
rallied with equal devotion. Thanks to this concurrence,
which has never been wanting when called for by the law.
the spirit of disorder has been almost uniformly repressed
and infallibly overcome wherever it bus persevered in making
its appearance. Public credit has gradually revived and be-
come at length re-established. A winter which was anti-
cipated as disastrous has passed away, leaving only increased
elements for employment. A session, memorable from the
important labours with which it has been occupied, without
the slightest abatement in the zed of the Chambers, has
founded institutions the effects of which will be shortly evi•
dent in commerce, agriculture, and all the other branches o
public prosperity. In fine, industry, which was assuming a
remarkable activity when it was checked by the access of a
most terrible scourge, sees before it all the opportunities
for its exertions offered by the consolidation of the genera,
peace. Such, Sir, is, or such was at the moment of th,
invasion of this scourge, the real situation of the affairs et

the country—a situation which could not he arrested ii
delayed in its progress but by natural obstacles. All Oa
violent opposition raised by man had been overcome. You,
most anxious solicitude must undoubtedly be at presen
turned towards the me ins of contending against the scourg
with which we are afflicted, if it has reached your depart
inent, or opposing to its approach all possible precautions.
This must be your first cote, and to this end you toil,
avail yourself of the experience and examples present:A I.

lance of the Government, and the national gen.r„i,).

endeavoured to substitute violence for real ((length, a)01
supply their want of numbers by uproar. The real ma'
jority of the nation disapproves of all these excesses, air
is essentially a friend to order and the laws, but, from 111
own superabundant moderation, Iraq not always had 0
energy equal to that with which it has been attacked. 11
belongs to Government to lend it force, and offer itself of
a central point of support. Therefore, demand the coo'
currence of all good citizens, and teach them to rely upo°

informed that it has nothing to fear from any party, an'
has every thing to hope from its own exertions. It her

The .Augsburg Gazette of the 27th tilt., contains the
following, dated Ancona, April 18 :—" The French Co'

to Toulon. The two principal actors in the capture of
Ancona (Ltr allois and Co nbes) are thus removed. Thios,
however, is far from producing the effect that might be
expected from it. The conduct of the French garrison e
Ancona has hitherto been little calculated to make the to"

of promoting anarchy, are allowed to do as they please
under the protection of the French at Ancona, those e°:

the "small farmers," as they are styled, were a thrivirl
race of men; but now many of them are little bet, I' (.-
than the well-emploled labourers. In the weald of gelit:
their farming implements have teen distrained for the fano
lord's rent; and the grain in their barns has been seized

frugal, industriotp, and hard-working ; but their labour

HONOURS PAID to GOETHE'S REMAIN

NVEIMAIi, MARCH 3l.—The Grand Duke appointed
Monday last for the celebration of Goethe'e funeral obse-
quies. His corpse was laid on a couch, overlaid with
black velvet, in a spacious apartment, lined with sable
trappings, and resplendent with wax lights. Here it re-
m tined, exposed to the sorrowful inspection of the pu' lit
at large, during the entire forenoon of that day. 'rte
body itself lay on its couch in the centre-of the apartment,
resting upon pihows of white satin ; a wreath of fresh
laurel encircled the head, and a Roman t..ga, likewise of
satin, was tastefully disposed around the corpse. On its
right was a column, from which a crown of laurel, worked
in pure gold, relieved with emeralds (a tribute from
Frankfort, his native town, on the occasion of his acaele•
mical jubilee,) hung suspended. Behind his head rose
another column, to which was attached a lyre and a
basket—the latter enclosing rolls of parchment, symbolical
of the writer's literary labours ; and a third column was
placed on the left of tie body, against which his several
diplomas were displayed. At the feet were three other
columns, to which the insignia of the numerous orders
'which princely favour and esteem had conferred upon the
illustrious departed were suspended. Large cypresses
were disposed on either side behind the couch of state ;
ais f on each side of it stood 20 candelabra oT silver ;
guards of honour of all ranks and classes keeping watch
beside them. Three splendid stars, in allusion to Goethe's j
transition to a heavenly state, hung over his remains. Mul-
titudes came from far and near to bid him a last farewell.
The coffin was removed at five o'clock in the afternoon, in
order that it might be borne to the designation assigned to
it by the late Grand Duke, his enlightened and munificent
patron--namely, by the side of Schiller, in the sepulchre
of the Grand-ducal family. Upon its removal, the corpse was
placed in the Gland 'ducal hearse of state, which was drawn
by 4 horses, and surrounded by the members of the Cabinet
and household, and those of our learned and scientific bodies,
npart. of the clergy and their assistants, military men, and
sos" almost every respectable inhabitant of Weimar
folloh .ving on foot behind. Amongst this throng of mour-
ners, the students of Jena, with roses attached to their
sable scarfs, were not the least conspicuous. The train
was closed by a line composed
of the Grand-ducal car-
riages, in one of which sat Baron de Spiegel, as the repre-
sentative of the reigning Prince. The chief portion of the
clergy, in conjunction with a numerous choir, were sta-
tioned in the sepulchre. A beautiful hymn greeted the
entrance of the funeral procession ; to this succeeded a dis-
course, in which the preacher dwelt upon the heavy ac-
count which is required at the hands of those on whom
nature had shed her richest gifts; and this was followed by
one of Goethe's pieces,* the music to which was coin-
Posed by his oldest surviving friend Zeller, director of the
orchestra at Berlin, and performed under the superintend-
ence of the celebrated Hummel. The coffin was then
delivered into the custody of the Lord Marshal ; immedi-
ately after which the chapel was cleared, and the ceremo-
nies terminated. The coffin is of oak, lined with lead,
and the external inscription is simply the following :

" GOETHE.
" Born the 28th August, 1749,
" Died the 22d March, 1832,"
It is a remarkthle circumstance That the carpet on which
the coffin was laid within the chapel was an heirloom in
Goethe's family; that his parents stood upon it at the ce-
lebration of their marriage ; and that, in the instance of
the poet himself, it covered the floor on which the several
C remonies of his birth, tnarri3ges, and sepultures were
performed.—Atherueutn.

EXTRACT FROM THE DIARY OF A TRAVELLER, AUTHEN-

TICATEL BY THE SIGNATURE OF COLONEL KRZEWSKI.
Wiana.—.There ate in this place 360 Polish prisoner.,
civil and military, who have just been tried by a special
commission. The Russian officers Greaser and Beribrazow,
Well known in Warsaw as Aides-de•Camp to the Grand
Duke Constantine, try every possible means, by threats and
promises, to engage the military part of the Poles for the
service of the Emperor. All the officers of the celebrated
4th regiment of the line are transported, for the present,
to Tobol.k, the capital of Siberia : their ultimate destina-
tion is not yet known. In Kursk and Woroncz there are
a greater number of the Polish Nobility, who have been
violently dragged to these places merely because :ley were
declared " suspected" in the year 1826. In Kursk, for
example, the Colonel Tarnowski, Captains Karwizki,
Lenkiewicx, Count Victor Ossolinski. In Wor.i..z the
Marshal of Wilna, Messrs. Wagner, Za.wi,za, Bisliewicz,
Buiharyn, O'kierko, and a number of others.
WAstt, a little town in the government of Nislineino-
vogorod. Here I met fifteen officers from Volhynia, who
belonged to the corps under General Dwernitski. T .ey
are sent to Tobolsk on foot, to be there put as common
soldiers in the garrisons. I want language to describe
their misery : still their tears are less consecrated to their
own misfortunes than those of their country they hope
for a divine retribution.

Near Tamax.—Met forty pupils of the academy of
\Vilna, the oldest of whom was fifteen years of age; they
are sent to Siberia to work in the mines. The unfortu-
nate, who are condemned to this species of labour, lose
their Christian and family names, a number is supplied for
by which they are called by the driver.
DRAKZOW. met here a large number of children be-
tween ten and twelve years old, mothers with their suck-
lings in their arms, and old men. They are all trans-
ported to Siberia. Farther on the route, I met similar
groups, consisting of 100 souls and above : they are un-
fortunate families who fled for shelter in the forests of
Lithuania, Volhynia, and Podolia ; they fell in the bands
of the Cossacks, and are now transported as prisoners of
war. In entering the government of Mohilew there are
-found on all the stations fortified and barricadoed houses
called " ostrogi." These disgusting, pestiferous, and dark
huts, destined as quarters :for felons condemned to trans-
portation to Siberia, are now crowded with victims of the
insurrection of every age, sex, and rank, and excite the
most heart-rending sympathy.
KALUGA.—In the ostrog of this town there is now
sighing young Gotthard Sobanski, with chains on his arms
and feet. After having passed five years in this horrible
dungeon, he is now to be sent off to the mines of Siberia
for the remainder of his life.
Ltrxow, a village in the government of \Vladimir. A
singular and frightful noise heard from some distant spot
excited our attention—it seemed as if it came from the
bowels of the earth. It was that of 150 Lithuanian no-
bles who were all chained and barefoot on their march to
Siberia. The sentence passed on them was, that they
should be put as common soldiers among the regiments of
the Caucasus, of Orenburg, and Siberia. Shocking was
the sight of the two young Counts Tyszkiewiez, almost
children ; at every step they sunk under the load of their
heavy chains ; they stretched their,bands for a little cha-
rity, in order that they may buy themselves chains of leas
weight, which their hrtless keepers refused them.
StattmEw, in the government of Stholensk.—General
Prondzynski, the same man who negotiated the lamentable
capitulation of Warsaw, passed here with his lady in a con-
venient traveling chariot.

KRUPKA, a village in the government of :11ohilew.—
About one hundred soldiers, all emaciated from sufferings
and fatigue, without arms, and on crutches, on their route
to Siberia.

CIIORACEWICZE.-Met a detachment of between fifty
and sixty soldiers in chains, on their way to Siberia. They
belonged to those who, confiding in the amnesty promised
by the Czar, and guaranteed by the King of Prussia, re-
solved to return to Poland (from Prussia.) Many of them
begin to cry when they arproaebed us; others tried to
sing their national hymn, "Poland, Poland, is not yet
lust." Others exclaimed to us, "return, return to our dear
mother (their country), we hope still once to return again."
On the other side of Choracewicze. Met here Mr.
Wareynski, the Marshal of Osmiana (the same town where
the K rgises murdered in a church 400 wives, children,
and old men.) He was on a waggon with post-horses,
under the guard of gendarmes, his hands and feet were
chained, an iron ring round the body, which was fastened
to another round the neck ; his long beard flowed down
to his breast ; the head was shaved in the form of a cross ;
his coat half black and half white—he is condemned to
hard labour for life.
BointuvaK, a fortress in the government of Minsk.—
Six hundred soldiers of the 4th regiment of the line, of
the Kuszel chasseurs, and others, are here working on the
fortifications, to which they are condemned : they go in
bandy
of ten, chained together by a long iron pole ; the
chaius There is are only taken off during the hours of labour.
also a noble Lithuanian of the name of Zaba,
pining here in a dungeon, and awaiting his sentence. He
is accused of having intended to deliver over the fortress
to the insurgents. When he was arrested he bad a list of
the names of the patriots in his pocket. He tried to
sovallow the paper down. The Sbirri tote his teeth open
ith an iron, lacerated the palate, and drew forth from
his throat somepieces
of thepaper.
