We have the following facts IN the history Of
Father Gavazzi When the Intelligence Of the
rising In Milan and the defeat OF the Austrians
IN Lombardy was brought to Rome, a festival
was given. at which the students seized the elo-
9uent priest and bore him on their shoulders 10
the Pantheon, in order that he might pronounce
eulogy on the fallen patriots of Milan. From
that time he commenced his career As the her
aid OF freedom. The trcolorcd cross was then
put on his cowl and It bears II still lie spoke
for a week in the Coliseum to the assembled
people, and made 1t the arena Of public demon
STATIONS. The Pope encouraged Gayazzi IN his
endeavors and appointed him high chaplain to
the army, which was to BE- formed of the Nation
al Guard and OF volunteers. In this capacity. he
marched with $4,000 men from Rome, and after
short halt on the borders, the Vatican gave de-
clsve orders to the army, as it had privately to
Gavazzi. TO fall upon the AustriaHs- This march
was victorious even 20 the gates of FlcCnza Ca
vazzi's eloquence made good the want Of cannon,
clothing provisions, horses, in fact Of all the mu-
nltlons Of war; the good will OF the people sup
piled everything. He was their Peter Of Amiens,
he was the soul of the rebellion. At Venice,
in the Great Court of ST. Marks, he spoke daily
to thousands, and thus filed the treasury OF the
Venetians The women robbed themselves OF
their jewels, the hshwomen piucked the silver
needles from their hair, valuables OF every kind
were showered upon him. When the Romans
fell of, Gavazzi raised his voice IN Florence
The Duke gave orders to e1pel the monk. He
fled to Genoa, but since the Boognese on the
first of August had broke out into open revolt
against the Pope, and established government,
Gayazzi was recalled to assist in the restoration
of peace His entrance was like a triumph.
General ucch was now sent from Rome, to
assume the command of the troops in Bologna,
and at the instance of the the Cardlna-egate,
he had Gavazzi arrested, and sent under i strong
guard to prison at COnetO. On the way the peo-
pie rose in body at viterbo, IN order to free the
patriot, and Plus TX. found himself compelled 10
restore him to liberty. After the flight of the
Pope, the establishment Of a new Government,
and the call Of the Roman National Assembly,
Gavazzi again was placed in the office Of Chap
lain General, and as such made all the arrange
ments for charging the hospitals, which seemed
to be necessary from the approach Of the French
army. He formed the most distinguished ladies
into 4 Committee for taking care of the wounded
soldiers, and undertook in person the oversight
Of the surgical department, during the whole
siege When, during the defense against Oudl-
not, an attack was to made on the King of Ma
pies, who, with 10000 men had advanced to Vii
letri, Father Gavazzi placed himself at the head
of the Romans, whom GarIbaldI led, and after
they had put the enemy to flight, he remained on
the battlefield TO take care ofthe sick and wound
ed Returning to the 'besieged city of Rome,
il was he who soughtto sustain the courage OF
the inhabitants and was always to be found IN
the ranks of the combatants and on the walls
When Rome fell, Oudlnot gave him a good testi-
monial and a free pass Father Ugo essl was
shot by the Austrians, while the French let Ga
vazzi 90 free He went to London, where he
lived in retirement, supporting himself wreched-
ly by giving a little instruction IN his mother
tongue, for which he found opportunity. After
the Papal Bull, which net with such an uniavor-
able reception in England, his countrymen wish
ed to hear him speak on this subject, and accord
ingly made an arrangement for lectures in which
he has set forth the checAvred history Of the
Roman temporal States in a mingled VEN Of
IRONY and earnestness.
