thiss Of the people in all sections of
Italy.
At Venice hundreds OF innocent per
sons are being arrested and imprisoned
On the slightest pretext, or on the mer-
est suspicion Of opposition to the gov
ernment
The prisons Of Venice are overflow
ing with victims Of Austrian tyrany,
and she iron rule, Of despotiam is
more cruelty exercised than ever be-
fore.
The Austrian authorities sent of
from Venice in one day By one train
eighty, and BY another train one hun
drsd persons 10 chains, without getting
the least show Of trial, and on the
suspicion Of lore Of their country and
hatred Of Austria.
These prisoners were sent to the
dismal fortress If Moravia and the
1 Danube.
Arrests are being made to fearful
extent in all the towos Of the Venetian
kingdom for the purpose Of striking
terror to the hearts Of he inhabitants
In some places a feeble resistance j:
offered, and Austrian officials wreck
their vengeance By destroying the
towns thus presauing to defend then
homes and fire-sides.
