The city of Eome was filled with consternation; and the pope had recourse to the good offices of his Sardinian majesty, in consequence of which the English squadron was ordered to withdraw. In the West Indies some unsuccessful efforts were made by an English squadron, commanded by commodore Knowles.
ANNEXING OF NAPLES AND SICILY. The next great event in Italy was the expulsion of Francis II., the tyrant who reigned in Naples and Sicily after the death of Ferdinand II. . Garibaldi, without the consent of the Sardinian government, raised the standard of revolt in Sicily , and conquered the island.
About half-past seven we proceeded to the Pasha's palace. The Sardinian Consul kindly lent Sir Moses his sedan chair, the only one to be found in Egypt at that time. We could not ride in a carriage on account of the Sabbath. Sir Moses was in full uniform, and wore his Sheriff's chain.
Beneath it, on the other side and almost surrounding it, is a cleft in the cliff like an immense corridor which serves as a harbor, and along it the little Italian and Sardinian fishing boats come by a circuitous route between precipitous cliffs as far as the first houses, and every two weeks the old, wheezy steamer which makes the trip to Ajaccio.
Two representatives of the Islands were found in the Torquato Tasso schoolhouse, a Sardinian, and a Sicilian; the Boncompagni School furnished a little Florentine, the son of a wood-carver; there is a Roman, a native of Rome, in the Tommaseo building; several Venetians, Lombards, and natives of Romagna have been found; the Monviso School gives us a Neapolitan, the son of an officer; we furnish a Genoese and a Calabrian, you, Coraci, with the Piemontese: that will make twelve.
But they are worse than merely licentious: they are positively villanous; pregnant with the most redemptionless /scoundrelism/, cheating, lying, thieving, and fraud; their humour debauches the whole moral system; they are like the Sardinian herb, they make you laugh, it is true, but they poison you in the act. But who comes here?" "Oh, honest Coll! Ah, Cibber, how goes it with you?"
He married, in 1757, Albinia, eldest daughter of Lord Vere Bertie. The Count de Viry, Sardinian Minister to England. He succeeded as third Duke of Leinster in 1773. Percy Windham O'Brien, Baron of Stricheh and Earl of Thomond, brother of Lord Egremont and of Mrs. George Grenville.
At the same time, Prussia kept its army prepared for war: the lines of the Spanish and Sardinian troops increased on our Alpine and Pyrenean frontiers, and Gustavus was assembling a Swedish army. The dissentient ecclesiastics left nothing undone which might produce a diversion in favour of the emigrants at home.
Malghella ended miserably; after the fall of Murat he was arrested by the Austrians, who consigned him as a new subject to the Sardinian Government, which immediately put him in prison. His name is hardly known, but no Italian of his time worked more assiduously, or in some respects more intelligently, for the emancipation of Italy.
But I cannot see that the mere fact that we have destroyed their fleet merits any marked honour. They were caught in a trap, and half of them burned, and this might have been done equally as well by the Sardinian fishermen, unarmed, and without our aid. As to the fighting, it was of small account.
