Within one frhcrt tntith, Lo.-v, r, thi I'rewident was tx:M-lled from the capital I v a rebellion in the ing country, and continued its outrasreu arainM I the few American citizens who still had the coUMge to remain within its power, lo cap I relief to the soldiers of both parties who hail been wounded in the battle, without making any distinction between theiu. 'Ihe time had anived, in my opinion, when tUib Government was bound to exert its power to avenge and tedicse the wrongs of our citizens and to aiford them protection iu Mexico. The ihterpot ing obetacle was that the portion c f the oountry under the sway of Miratuen could not be reached without paeibg over territory un der the jurindictiuu ot the constitutional gov ernment. Under these circumstances, I deemed it my duty to recommend to Cungres. in my last annual mtst-ae, the employment of a suf ffcicut military foice to penetrate into the inte lior where the government of Alarimon was to be found, ;with, or, if need be without the con sent ot the Juarez government, thought it was not doubted that this consent could be obtain ed. Never have I hail a clearer conviction on any subject than of the justice as well as wis dom of such a policy. No other alternative was left, except the entire abandonment of our fellow-citizens who hid gone to Mexico, uinkr the laitu ot treaties, to the syuteoiHtic n ju-iice, cruelty, aud oppre&Jcn of Mirnmon's govern ment. Besides, it is almost certaiu that the simple autnority to employ this force would of iteli have accomplished all our objects with out striking a single blow. Ihe constitutional government would ttitn ere this have been established at the city of Mexico, aud would have been ready and willing, to the extent of its ability, to do us justice. In addition and I deem this a raoet inipor taut constaerauoQ European governments would have been deprived of all pretext to in terfere in the territorial and domestic concerns of Mexico. We should thus have been reliev ed Irom the obligation of reieting, even by force, should this become necessary, any at tempt by these governments to deprive our neighboring republic of portions of her terri tory ; a duty from which we could not shrink without abandoning tbe traditional and estab lished policy of the American people. I am happy to observe, that, firmly relying upon the justice and good faith of these govern ments, there is no present dan ger that such a , contingency will happen.

The Horrora of the Papal Prison, The Florence Xazio-ne presents us with the summary of a little work, entitled the 'rrisons of Taliano." It ia the record of the experience of several political priaon era, written in the Pontifical dungeons of Paliano. These tombs for the living we now, thanks to recent events, empty. One prisoner writes: j In the fort of Paliano there are about two i hundred political prisoners, dressed like j the criininala condemned to the galleys, and. like them, shaved. They are divided into five section. Those condemned for j life are rdnit up in cell;, about nine spans wide and about sixteen Ion, including the little table of brickwork. Other cells about three hpans w ider, contain three prisoners; ar:d o'.hers. not much larger, have seven- i teen a'.l huddled together. Iu the first of; these there is a small grating over and ! opposite the door, through which the lood is introduced. The other cells have one win dow, and bometimes two, with an opening of about four spans in breadth and one iu height, and through this the prisoners are fired upon if it be necessary to keep them quiet. The food and hospital arrangements ; were villianous. Ihe patten U are neglect ed and ill-treated. Tiie medical attendants will hardly ever send a patient to the hos pital, and when they do send hitn they always keep him on btrict diet. Perhaps they have a secret understand ing with thope who contract for the food. One day, mhn some complaints were made on account of the bad soup in the hospital, tiie person who made the ccmplaint was taken by two keepers, and by dint of blows and kicks, was forcibly thrust along into the darkest dungeons, and there detained many day by order f liie governor. When come pritn.T at the point cf death refuses to receive a confessor, he is re moved into a solitary ceil, and then', after having heaped on him a thousand outrages, orders ar? giwri to or.e ot the Iowpt turn keys to ki I him ly MirTscati'jL. The fact is known fiorn the co:;fef--i ju ot the turn key himself, who, on or e occasion, refused to be a pariy to this barbarity. The corpse is it.Krtcd in the interior ( t th f rt, and the governor is preset.! at the funeral. :.dJietiii.e h gives 1 kirk to to the head ot the c--rpe, and commits similar out rages. 'Ihe following is the Utimor-v uf another victim oi Papal misrule: "Whilrt I was an inat- of this den of fWrrs, a wife with her little boy obtained peruii.-s'- n to see her husband. It was ten years tdnce lite Papa! government had torn her hu?haiii from her embrace; the boy had never known his father, f r he was bom after the arrest. Neither tho pravers of the atliicted wife, nor the tears f the tender child. i t the sobbing arid despair of the unhappy father, coul 1 i:i iuco the governor to a;luw theru but ons embrace to let thein mingle their tears together. It would be impossible t describe the rigors and the tortures, alwavs tiew and in creasing, w hicU have been invented to aug ment the bufferings of tiie prisoners after the huU h.tal attempt at night. In order to pre veti t the political prisoners from holding tue j-lightcet coaiiiiuriication with the outer wurid, recuiirse was even had t the very Hirat.'i;e and absurd expedient forbidding the physician (although an individual corn- j p!ete!y subservient to the government) ' trom pc-rs iialiy visiting the sick iu prisjii. j He was to treat them 0:1 the repot t of a creature who but a short time before had bevii in the galleys, and Was transferred tm-i.ee t) perform tiie office of an hoepital at teti lant. This liberated galley-slave fe!t the pulse, made his diagnosis, drew his conclusions, an-! the physician meanwhile waited 1:1 the room of the governor for the report of the attendant, and, according to the character of that report, prescribed remedies for the patients whom he had never been. Rep resentations on representations were neces sary before the Papal government could be induced to abandon this siugular mode of proceeding; and it was only alter some time that the physician obtained permission to approach the bed o his patients; but even then only in the com: any of the turnkeys, who were placed as spies over his move ments, his words, and the very expression of pity which his countenancemight betray. Uue of the patients, a certain il , ot tSolugna, begged to see the governor, to implore iu the name ot his companions, the pei mission to have the period lor exercise extended for halt an hour. The only reply he received was an order that he should be put in chains weighing eighty pounds, and thrown into the tower. The tower, situated in the centre of the citadel, is the most horrible cf prisors damp, isolated, with an opening at the roof, leaving th? prisoner exposed to all the inclemency of the weather. lie it summer or winter, the inmate of the tower has no bed save the bare ground no covering save his own apparel no food save bread and water. When I left the fort to be conveyed as an exile across the frontier, a poor prisoner had just died in consequence of illness caused by the repetition of this punishment, from which more than one prieoner had died whota the government, peihaps, wished to get out of the way A certain P , of Ascoli, ou returning trom the chapel to his ow n cell, happened, when he reached tiie courtyard of ihe fortress, to salute a condemned pris oner belonging to another section, wh was looking through the grating. For that oftence the head jailor, after beating him, had the usual chains put on, and then sent him to the tower. It was in March, on an Easter Sunday. After three davs of suffer ing he was lotiiid stretched out, almost frozen, on the ground. Then he was re moved to the hospital, and, thanks to a strr tig constitution, alter a-tnu' time he re covered.
