HIS WAY TO "DIxIR"


HIS WAY TO 'tDIxIR"
The Pensiero, paper published in Naples, 10
its issue Of the 9th Of June last, declares thnt
Greco, the Italian recently accused of engaging
IN conspiracy against the life of the Emperor
Napoleon ILL.,, has been sent under guard to this
country, on his simple parole To return no more
to Europe, he having promised that when he
reaches America he will enlist in the nrmy of
the Southern Confedaracy aud never leave the
military service.
The PeHsiero adds the following particulars,
averring that they came from Ga pergon in a "a
sitiOn from his relations to know many things
more than some Governments could desire -
"On these conditions he has been SET at liber-
ty. BY way Of explanation it is added that the
prefect of police at Paris ntimated to him before
his departure, in the most formal manner, that
he must sorupulously follow the orders received,
threatening him, if he did NOT, with being con-
sidered n violent evader, aud that his exiradi-
tion should be demanded of the Government Of
any country where he might be found, as a com
mon delinquent. The prefeot Of police had con-
signed to the man dressed as a citizen, who
escorted him, the sum Of three thousand francs,
to be paid to him the moment he takes service
in the American army"
1t may be stated here that the French authors
ties caused it to be understood that Greco was
sent to Cayenne. The Neapolitnn paper denies
adds:
"Some days ago, when we gave the news Of
the departure Of Greco fres to the Southern
States Of America, We promised to give our reai-
ers any subsequent partculrs ns to the fact,
particulars which we were expecting from lioa-
don, and which have now reached US. We ciu
assert, perhaps, with even more certainty than
at first, that Greco has, from heing galley
slave, really become free citizen, and at this
very time, while we write, he is probably about
to salute the AmericIn continent; and If the
promise Of u man such as he be worth anything,
he will enlist in the army of the separatsls.
''soaroely had the Minister of Foreign Affairs
In France been informed of the arrest Of Greco
and his companions than he Immediately trans
mitted orders to the Judge of Instruction of the
Criminal Court of Paris TO suspend for a day the
Interrogation of the accused, and this was done,
not officially, but by meaps of known contilanis
At the same time, the Superior Prefect OF Police
was summoned to the office OF the Minister, and
together they went to the prison Of Greco. II
was on this occasion, and before Greco had
made any deposition before the Judge of lnstruo
tiOn, that he received promise OF liberty Gu
condition of his compromising Maz5ui and the
Italian emigrants in the Ticino by giving their
names as accOmplices in the plot against the life
of Napoleon. The project of police, TO save the
magistracy from the reproach Of allowing itself
| to be corrupted traced out Tor Greco the answers
which he was to give to the Judge of Instruc-
ton. Aud Greco agreed, demanding besides a
sum of money to supply bis first wants when he
should reach America.
.'The magistracy was thus saved, and the
Judge of Instruction heard from the mouth OF
Greco exactly what it pleased his august master
to make him say.
eIt is thus the conduct of Greco, in the famous
trial in Paris, is to be eyplGin0d. We have been
also assured that the Proeureur Imperial was
not ignorant of these police intriguea and that
he took an active part in tha tissue Of inlamy.
1t is added, besides, that in the official account
published of that trial many depositions are
modified, and many words are ohangsd.
"The object proposed by the French Govern
ment was not so small as some might suspect
il was not a simple piece of Vengeance out ol
hatred to Mazzni and the party OF action. The
Imperial Government was desirous to drive away
Immediately from the canton of TicinO all the
italian exiles whom they believed to he intent on
organizing an expedition to the Tyrol. lie hoped
thus to induce the Swiss Government to dissolve
what Napoleon calls the quarter general Of the
republican party resident in LuEano.
"The inquiry opened by the Federal Govern
meRt proved hsw absurd were the dispositions
of Greoo."-N Y. Epening Post.
