ed by the most despotic of despots. This
Draconian instalment of liberty calls on ali
who have rooms they do not occupy ia
their houses to send in word to the Campi-
dogllo within a certain time, when thew
will be visited and treated for, with the
| gratitude of the community. But for those
who refuse to send in the list of rooms
they are not using, let it be known that a
forced perquisition will be made into every
house In the city between the 25th of this
months and the 18th Of the next; that AN
rooms not In use or deemed by the inq uisi-
tors too many for the family will be ferci-
1ly appropriated, and a fair rent put on
them by the Municipality, who will pay it.
Thus when the employees arrive, they are

their families require room !; they are to

1t becomes a serious matter to reflect
chat at any moment danger may be pro-
duced amongst us from 5000 men totally
devoid of religion and of principle, who
have been armed and are being drilled and
initiated into the use of the weapons en-
trusted to them. 1 speak of the enrolment
OF the National or Civic uard. So far as
Rome is concerned, they have been the
leaders in every violent movement. Wit
ness their shameless conduct at the Gesu
on the 9th, the row outside, the precursor
of that of the 10th, entirely originated by
them!
One of the late heroic ex-Papal soldiers |
on being dismissed from his prison found |
his way to his native town, Ischia {not the |
island, but q small town in the province of |
Civitta Vecchia), where his unostentatious
piety and civility soon endeared him to all
the Inhabitants except the National Guard,
who, there as elsewhere in the provinces
usurped by the Robber- King, seem recruit
ed from amid all that is worst and vilest.
These prosecuted the unfortunate man.
and one day when he had gone for a walk,
I batch of these demOniacs attacked him
with bayonets, and inflicted such severe
Wounds that, whether they would or not
hey had to bring him into their barracks,
where, instead of sending him to the hos
'ital, they kept him, giving him kick
when he asked for drink of water, and
ending to Valentano for the Royal Cara
,ineers. When these arrived they were in
he act of forcing the unfortunate bleeding
ictim of political rancour to go with them
o Valentano, but the good inhabitants of
schia, outraged at the sight of such un-
nerited suffering and cruelty, Indignantly
pposed themselves thereto, insisting that
surgeon should be called in first. This
'as speedily done he declared the man !
