once of light, to which he h id been so long unaccus
timed, almost deprived him of bight. His hair had
become grey, and the dampness of his cell hut so af-
fected and weakened his whole frame, that he was Uh•
able to stand even for the shortest possible space of
time. Th 2 ev,l soon extended from the body to the
mind, and the noble spirit which had for years sup.
ported him through every trial, forsook _him, and the
unhappy Patitari became a m iniac.
" Tne Sight of such a man in such a state inspired
some with the landable but clan.4erous wish of endea-
vouring to relieve in some it-.gree his extreme misery,
and their efforts were not all in vain. Love did not
fors :ice him in the hour of adversity, and the AV.
chioness F. Messinoise, who had known and loved him
in happier days, asked and obtained of the Austrian
magistracy that her unhappy triend• might have the
liberty of breathing the pure air, end taking exercise for
a short time every day in the court of the citadel ? This
indulgence soon restored him to health, and HO sooner
did I.is mini begin to recover its wonted vigour than it
again wish,•d for liberty, and Patitari determined
to a. tempt his e,cape. ole side of the citadel was
surrounded bye iiver, which, from its breadth and the
raiiidity of its cumin, had been considered a sufficient
protection against the evasion of the prisoners; this
offered the only possibility .f escape, and tf this Patitari
dm: mined to avail himself. After two or three days
consideration, he carried his purpose into execution;
and notwithstanding the rapidity of the stream, he
swam to the opposite bank, near to St. Francois de
Paula, about two miles and a half distant from the cita-
del. Although in a very exhausted state, he imme-
diately took a boat, and went at once in o Calabria.
" Arrived there, his friends, sympathising in his mis-
fortunes, offered him an asylum again-t the persecutions
and the researches of Covet nment. He accepted their
pi offered kindness; and although regretting the failure
of all his endeavours to obtain libetty, he enjoyed con-
siderable happiness, or at least tranquillity, relying on
the honour of the Calabrians, whom he thought inca-
pable of betraying him.
Wr,ilht be wa. thus situated, the Tribunal ()Rived
him to be brought to tri 41, and, in his absence, con-
demned him to capital punishment.
" In August, 1525, the re.earches of Government
btc ime mote active, and Patitari, fearing every instant
to fall into the bands of his enemies, determined, in the
month of September, to pass into a foreign land, and
thus escape the death decreed against him by the Mili-
tary Commission, as guilty of treason against the State.
" He set off,without passport or any other paper, and
with nothing but the good wishes of his fiends for his
suet. ss and safety, and einbarked at &Alla, on board a
metchant-vessel, with the iatention of landing at Corti!,
or in some other place whence he might easily pass into
Greece. He was near doing so, and began to hope all
his miter:es were about to terminate, when an unfa-
vourable wind forced the Carain to touch at 0:ran:o,
in the kingdom of Naples, and near the native land of
the unhappy Patitari. his good fortune now forsook
him, he was discovered, and once more fell into the,
hands of his enemies. He underwent a most severe ex-
aniination, in the hope that he would discover those
who had assisted him in his flight, but Patitari was too
noble-minded to betray them.
"The former proceedings against him were examined,
the sentence of death already pronounce d against him
was repeated, and, having received tt,e Royal sanction,
he was shot in the latter part of October, 1825. Ile
met his fate like a brave man, and by dying like a hero,
showed, that bad an opportunity been allowed him, he
would have lived ard fought like one."
