OF ITALY.
We have in our hands a file of Italian Gazettes
to the end of May. They contain
lists of proscription and abundant obloquy of
the Carbonari. An account is given, under
the head of Naples, of the flogging of the
members of that association, with the emblems
of the order hung to their necks, through
the streets of Naples. Thus no doubt can
remain on this point of history. The Neapolitan
article says, "No spectacle was ever
better received by the subjects of our
sovereign. They followed in crowds shouting
"Vive le Roi! Vive Dieu!" But the
next day there appeared an order of the Police
which forbids all such acclamations at
the execution of measures of public justice.
It states that the enthusiasm of the people
on such occasions, however laudable in its
origin, is not to be countenanced by a wise
government, and it might degenerate into
popular tumult."
We observe that one of the decrees, dated 11th of May, of the restored
Ferdinand, prohibits all meetings in the
country, consisting of more than five persons
not of the same family, without notice being
given thereof to the commissary of police.
