New-York tribune., 1870-09-28


thing but strictly military duty, the following
expedient was adopted. All those who had
been sentenced to capital punishment or to the
galleys for criminal offenses were released on
condition that they should form themselves
into military body solely dependent on the
Church of Rome. Thus were collected the
sQuddriglieri, brigands and assassins serving the
Holy See, and through zeal Of gratitude to
their employers ready to molest, insult, or i'm
prison citizens on mere suspicion. Their cos
tune is the one adopted by the brigands, velvet
knee-breeches, and jacket with ribbons,
high boots, low hat with feathers, long
boards and two pistols. The hatred of
the Romans against this organization
had become intense, and they them
selves now feared the anger of the people.
At the Piazza de Ceri the bersaglieri received
the surrender of the Zouaves and proceeded
to the Piazza Colonna. The enthusiasm of
their reception at this point was astonishing.
Old men ran about with tears in their eyes,
waving their hats and their handkerchiefs.
Windows were filled with ladies, waving tri-
| color flags and gibbons. The air was filed
with cries of exultatton. And now the squad
yiqlieri, for fear of being massacred
by the people, had intrenched them
selves in the Square of the Capitol.
They had made a barricade of mattresses
and had posted two pieces of artillery against
the esplanade of the Piazza dara COeli. The
bottom of the esplanade was occupied by
bersdglieri, and the sqsadrIgheri fired three
times on them, but doing no harm Looking
up the deserted esplanade, of sudden / heard
shrieks at the top, and saw the barTicade fall
down while mass of people were waving
hats and flags. A regiment of infantry arriving
on the square by back streets had surprised
the Squddriglierl, and had made them all pris
Oners.
ENTHUSIASM OF THE PEOPLE.
The General commanding one of the brigades
of Italian troops was actually beseged by
men, women, and children kissing his hands
and the very legs of his horse, and crying,
Long live our hberatOrs!" !" About so men
ran up the staircase of the capital, broke open
the doors, ascended the towers, and hoisted
the Italian flag. The event foretOld by CavOur,
and which had influenced every act of the
Italian people for eleven years was now full
filled. Bells pealed. The military band played
the Royal march. Thousands of people shouted,
"Long live Victor Emanuel"
CITIZENS ABUSING THEIR FORMER OPPRESsoRs.
A company of bersaglieri surrounded the
! Church and Convent of Jesus; it was reported
| that large number of ZOuayes were hidden
in the convent In the Pia Padella Rotunda
! I met with some dsbanded Papal soldiers; the
populace surrounded and disaIned them with
| incredible violence, their clothes being torn of
and trodden under foot while they were hustled
about. The bersaglieri were obliged to guard
the Zouave prisoners to keep them from the
fury of the people The square of the Piazza
della Colorina rings with Kisses and cries of
indignation against these prisoners. Some
Papal troops at a later hour attempted to de-
fend themselves on Mount Pinco, and were
only forced to surrender by artillery and ber-
saglieri.
AN ILLUMINATION.
At %. m. the streets were brilliantly lllu-
minated and crowded with people. Bands Of
200 or 300 persons with tricOlOr flags and
torchlghts paraded the streets. Every Roman
has one of the bersaglieri by the arm; the
women beg the feathers of their hats and kiss
them. Old men and women are seen embrac-
ing the soldiers of Italy, holding them tight
by the waist and crying Don't leave u.s."
The COrso looks like fairy scene with thou
sands of colored lamps and houses covered
with flags. Thinking to escape from the ex-
citement and din, l rode out to the Coliseum;
but as l entered, a group Of people who had
preceded me lit Bengal fires and illuminated
the stately ruin, and voices of men and women
| cried vivas in the midst of the amphitheater.
