Those virtuous and peaceably disposed exiles-
wanderers they say, for the good canse-must sup
pose that Americans only read the Tyibuns aud
Eapess or that they have been asleep for the last
i've years, to think that they would swallow all this
bombast on such authority. Liars, they say, have
need Of good memories. 1t is but short
time since that Maccaroni. Curranjelli & Co.,
elated with the success Of the Ugo Bassi faying
story stated that fifty other glorious patriots We re
treated in the same inhuman manner by the Pope
and the Austrans. This romance was echoed by the
Express and yet the fioal manifesto names only four
criminals executed at Bologna, and they were shot
without being skinned. The remainder, according to
NaccaroDi, Currapjelli Co.'s account were sent to

not such cruel fellows as they have represented them
to be. Those men were taken prisoners Is traitors,
and yet resolved the death Of soldiers.
But even supposing that all those stories stated by
foreign rsgamufins were true, what have the Ameri-
can people to do with them7 Is the peace OF the
country 70 be disturbed and police kept eternaly
on the GU. rtre by their lots and animosities? Who
can tell where it will end? N. Bedni has taken his
Departure but may not the next steamer bring some
other official who will be equally obnoxious to those
peaceful exiles Let such papers, then, the Tribune
and Erprtss, which excite outIages, be looked upon
with suspicion.
In conclusion, would advise the Tribune 10 know
what it is writing about before it again gratuitously
offers its judicial opinion. would also advise Mac.

fed with the blood Of poor Sassi Disturbing the pub
lie peace and insulting foreign Ministers will
never convince us that they will make good citizens,
