i;s There were two items OF news brought
Nv the last European packet that arrived at
Halifax, that will be perusea with interest
and delight by every true American repuh-
liuan. who loves liberty and honors those
who have had the courage To strike a blow

The arrival Of Mazzini in England, and to
the escape Of O'Donoghe, the Irish patriot

where his has been imprisoned for the paIl

.Goernments with sanguinary cruelty,
who every where established martial law
in different districts.
The presence Of M,zziGi in Italy was
known by the authorities, and they imme'
diate.y commenced the most active and
dillisent search 10 find the place Of his con-
ceaimeni. The capture of such a noble
and distinguished patriot as Mazzlni-lhe
illuslrious leader Of d. I lin revolution
Of lsIS-the man who is more hated BY
the "a rlnl in Southern Europe than any
ohrr-would have been an event that
would have created a great sensation all
uver the wordsworth have caused the
most keen and poignant regret 10 the
friends Of freedom and equal rights; and il
was. therefore. most ardently desired by
an The Italian Peninsula. Large rewards
were offered for his apprehension-ihe

were permitted to take their departure.
Every thing which ingenuity could sug.

fearful that he would fall inlo the hands Of
his bluod thirsty enemies, who uere ma.
king such an active and energetic search in
every place where there existed the least
probability OF his being found. We knew
the c%orrupiing nature of gold, and dreaded
lest il might prove TOO powerful Tor the

among the items Of news brnnght by the
