liberation of Italy from foreign domination

ROME. 25tl, April, 1917.
Judging from the popular movements in
Europe, and especially in the Italian Peninsu-
la, one sees reason to believe that the era Of
despoiism has ceased, that kingly tyrants
must decline with their Infamous policy, and
that the European people will be masters of
hemselves-no longer humble slaves of
crowned heads. All Germany is incommo-
ton, and the King Of Prussia has at last
granted a constitution 10 his States. Tit
Queen of Portugal must submit herself to the
will Of her subjects; Spain is threatened with
revolution, while all Greece strives to return
10 her ancient nationality, and TO make her
self Independent from the Ottoman Porte.
Great events have happened here in Italy
since my last letter. All the Italians clamor
for liberly-all are anxious TO throw off the
yoke of the tyrannical Austrian. Some of
the Italian petty princes, fearing for their
crowns, have allied themselves to Austria, in
order 10 rule more securely over their States.
Next the King of Piedmont and the Pope of
Rome, have learned that it belongs to them
to free Italy, and unite this divided country;
Austria puts forth the most active and infa-
nous means of Interference. She has eXcit-
ed Jesuits and monks TO conspire against the
life Of the new Pope, and is sending strong
armies 10 invade all the north of Italy and
Piedmont.
The 25th of March is kept as a great holt
day in Rome. The Austrian ambassador
sent word 10 the Pope that his people were
disaffected, and that it would be unsafe for
him to venture into the streets. The Pope,
suspccting an Austrian trick, sent secret
messengers among the people, to ascertain
their disposition. They brought intelligence
to the palace that the people were quiet and
contented. The Pope, naturally indignant
at the attempt to intimidate and deceive him,
went into the streets on foot; and as soon as
he appeared in the Square of the Vatican. all
the crowd cried Courage, courage, Plus TX;
fear nothing! don't listen 10 .7usiriu ! confae
in thy people,"
| don't know whether you have heard of
the last atrocious conspiracy against the life
of our great Plus TX. 1t would seem that
the conspirators had inflated Ernani while
conspiring against Charles V. This diaboli-
cal plot has been proved by clear evidence as
The bloody work Of the .~Jesuits, of ~fanatical
friars, and of Austria. The French ambas-
sador revealed their plot and names to the
Pope. His Holiness could Of course have
had them arrested, but he preferred to follow
a policy ola man confident of his position
and power, and TO expose 10 his people the
infamous plots Of his enemies. The conspi-
rators had put their names into a vase and
drawn that ofthe one who was 10 call on the
Pope and kill him during The interview. A
Capuchin, or a religious iriar, was the person
whose nam came out first, and, followed by
the other conspirators, he went to the Vati-
can, and asked to speak with the Pope. This
was on the 9Th Of April. The Pope sent for
the name Of the friaT, which he gave. Let
him come" said Plus TX. As he entered
the hall he was arrested, and they found on
him two pistols and a poisoned dagger, He
was sent TO the Castle St. Angelo with the
rest; and many others have since been ar
rested. This fact was kept secret for a short
time, in order TO avert the vengeance of the
Roman people from the fiars. But several
have since been murdered, known to have
been ultra-Catholic conspirators.
Among the many reforms of Plus X, is
one requiring that the money received by the
Church for the souls in purgatory, shall be
used for the relief of the poor; he has also
deprived many religious orders of large es-
tates, and directed them to be appropriated 10
purposes of public instruction, infants asy-
lums, &c. In one word, if this Pope lives
long there is no doubt that Italy will be free;
but if he falls the innocent victim Of some
Jesuilical poison or Austrian dagger, the Ital-
ian Peninsula will be the scene of human
butchery. The Italians are now learning the
infamous policy Of their enemies.
While The King of Piedmont follows The
policy Of the new Pope, and the press is free
in his own State, the J%esuils, with som Dish,
ops and noblemen, have held a Congress a
Nercelli, in the Jesuit'S College, and advised
the King TO discharge his Ministers. AL
however, has been useless; he seems thor
oughly disposed TO oppose The Ausirians, anC
with the Pope TO give freedom to the whole
Italian Peninsula. Piedmont by itself-ir
the cause of liberly-is able 10 contend will
the Austrian army at any time. If Italy at
tack Austria, you will see a general rising o
Poland, Galicia, Bohemia, HungaIia, anC
many other oppressed States.
