transatlantic news of different degrees of
interest; none very exciting, however,
The despots have arranged, or will arrange
we suppose, every thing to their liking for
the present. Liberty is trodden down,
but not so effectually that she will not one
day rise again; and the day of her resusci-
tatlon, which must come, will be terrible
one for the tyrants. There are accounts
to be settled, accounts of long Standing
centuries of oppression and of wrong, and
the reformers will make the discovery,
if they have not yet made it, that tempo
rizing, compromising, halfway measures,
achieve nothing, remedy nothing, amelio-
rate nothing; and that whilst they keep
the tyrant, they will try in vain to rend the
chain.
To crush the tyrant whilst they rent the chain

the patriots of '76, knew this, and for this
reason many Of them, who would other
wise have inclined towards an accommo-
dation with the British Government went
at once for independence, as sine qua

money. This was no reason at all. He
could do without money as well or better
at Rome, than he can do without it in the
Neapolitan territory. What we have al
ways thought and said, we still think
that he has no desire to return whilst the
t French occupy Rome, for well he knows
4 that the French General would be the
bona fde ruling sovereign, and not him
self; and PIUs, having once been soldier,
knows very well, too, what kind of dom
f ination it is that rests upon the point OF
, foreign bayonets. He feels little reluc-

whom he mauled so terribly in his Ency-
