Ny DxAR slRYou are no doubt aware that the King Of
Naples has ordered certain number Of political pr
soners-so long, SO cruelty aud 30 unusty deprived or
their liberty by his detestable government-to be re-
moved from their dungeons and transferred to Cadz,
thence to be uanshpped TO vessels which 70 take
them 10 New York and there leave them. II was in vain
that the victims protested against this brutal act of vo
lenee, accompanying pardon which left them free TO go
wherever they liked It is understood that they have
been removed on board the steamers that TO
vey them to Cadz and most probably they are now
their way 10 New York am told that there ia law in
removed Of the prisons of foreign State from landing
in the State Of New York, and that that law might b.,
spy to s u .usS ny Naples
say, that of all places in the world those mar.
tyTs will find the United States the country where
their serngs their courage their patriotism and their
love of liberty will be respected and appreciated and that
when is known who they are, far from being
PEELED from the Shores they will be received as
they are entitled to be by free and enlightened and
generous nation. AS it is however, possible that mis-
take may be committed, and law which was not GER
tanly made TO reach like this, misapped to them
beg that you will take such steps as will insure these
victims Of despotism the reception which humanity,
venture to apply to you 20 freely because know your
sympathy will be for those in whose favor I appeal.
Among them there Baron Carlo Poerio and Mr. Luigi
Septembrini, in whom take particular interest. At
the same time they all deserve equally hearty welcome
from American citizens. ] remain, &C., -.


There he doubt that the exes will be cordially
received not only by their countrymen in this city,
but by citizens A movement has already been in
stituted the Common Council Italian residents
have gone work good earnest They have appointed
committee of which Mr.. Gughelmo Gajiani is President
to make the requisite preparations This committee
decided upon having public meeting the arrival Of
the exiles either in the Academy of Music other
appropriate building Eminent speakers invited and
the band Of the North Carolna-most of them Italians
will play the national airs 1t is hoped that Americans
will participate TO large extent u the demonstrations


Some Of the exes Of wealth and distinction and
some poor. The Italian committee intend to collect
In manner either by personal solicitation or public
subscription, funds sufficient TO defray the ex-
pelses of the needy 10 Sardinia, where il is
understood all of the exies desire TO 20. 1t
was reported yesterday that the Spanish captain 10
whose the exes had been conded became frightened
for that his ship would be seized his arrival here
and transferred the exiles to the of English
captain, who had taken them to Sardinia, according to
their request. The report however, could not be
traced any reliable and believed TO be untrue


The Italian Committee are busy with their preparations
and the arrangements completed for the
orators and room will publish their programme-possiby
in a day or two 1t expected that the Mayor will pre-
side, and that Messrs. James Brady and Henry Ward
Becchcr can be prevailed upon to speak

cause OF freedom
