SPEECHES 0F MAZZINI IN ENGLAND. Visionary Movements in Burope. The Views of the Italian Revolutionary Leader, dec. Ke. Me. Mazzini’s Speech to the Society ofthe Friends atni'e Sper italy, in London, The second conversazione of the Societ, Friends of Italy was held in the great hall Freemasons’ Tavern, London, on the 23d ult. Tho object of this socioty is to direct public attenti to a icular class of facts, affecting the opiuions which may be formed in this country in reference to foreign politics; and, further, to bring into di- rect communication active English politicians and the exiled representatives of what is popularly termed the “Italian cause.” The hall was well filled, and fully one-third of those present were ladies. Of the foreigners, as many were Hungarians as Italians. Professor NewMAN took the chair, and intimated that the course of proceeding would, first, be the delivery of a lecture; and, next, a colloquial dis- cussion, Mr. Mazzini having expressed his willing- ness to answer all questions that might be put to him upon points rising out of the lecture. Mr. Mazzini (who was very warmly rising, and who offered his apologies for his imper- fect mastery of the Eng! Hh language—apologies which his complete command of our tongue ren- dered unnecessary) said—The question is a momon- tous one. 1 don’t know whether, in putting the question, Mr. Newman is suggesting that the papacy is still a strong power in Italy, and that we would have many difficulties to conquer in the enterorise of dealing with the papacy. { said plainly, when I spoke to you last, that the papacy was a corpse repeat it—the papacy is a corpse. Observe, J am not speaking ‘merely individual opinion; Tam stating the national consciousness of a fact. Long before 1819, when the papacy was obliged to run away, no man held up a finger to recall it—s> long ago as 1831 there wasa gencral insurrectionar movement in the Roman States. That movemon was managed by aman of what is wrongly in Ital called the moderate party ; wrongly called, because rightly understood, we are all moderate mon; an * in this case the moderate party meant men wh would reach an aim without fighting for it. 1 movement I refer to was triumphant in a week’s time. It ran through thé Roman States, and reache Rome itself. The moderate party, not at all direct ing the revolution, was ob! 1 to manage the revo lution; and it issued a decree, a single decree, th: whole history of the revolution of 1831. And that de- eree was onc abolishing the temporal power of th» Pope, and sentencing the papacy toa limitation to its strictly spiritual sphere. ‘hat decree found not a sin- gle opponent throughout the Roman States. The were men then, who said that this was an ex ment which had never been tried; that it rash, and that this novelty would counter revolution from the people. Yet single hand was raised to vesist the decree You know the result: that revolution was put down as usual bya foreign—the Austrian—interven- tion. But the fact remained, and had been record- ed, that if an insurrectionary power could become yowerful enough, and could escape the foreign inter- vention which would destroy it, it would be ready to erase the temporal power of the Pope. In 1549, the same. We abolished it by decree ; it was the same thing repeated—with this difference, that the decree in 1851 was only accepted, without positive signs, while in 1849 the decree passed amid the unanimous applause of the revolutionary republican assembly. That is Italian opinion. — If, therefore, the question concerned only the temporal power of the Pope, I would now have answered it. But that isnot all. Wore it all, 1 would say this: that were the Pope limited to his own forees, were Austrian and French interventions forbidden, the Pope would not await the decrees of insurrectionary powers; he would anticipate and run away intwenty-four hours. We want, however, more. do not quarrel ouly with the papacy as a temporal power. We have higher, holier aims. We that the Pope is no Pope at ail. A Pope, as priest, father, is to lead— to infuse life into a nation—to direct that life out- wards to action. We maintain that the Pope is not such a man ; that he is not a spiritual power; and, this further, that he has no consiousness of being a spiritual power; that the Pope is not only a man without any legitimate right, but also that he is an oe er impostor who knows nothing but that he has no mission still to fulfil on earth. That is the question with us; we aim at the destruction, at the abolition of the papacy, both as a spiritual power and as a temporal power. owever soon or late that thing be fulfilled, it will be fulfilled extremely peacefully and easily upon a succossful—and not impeded by foreign intervention --insurrection. That I say as belonging to the na- tional party. The Pope gone away is gone actually —not spiritually solely, fe physically. The Pop: is no Tope any more. The Pope being gone, i would become the necessity for us, and for the whole of Italy, to do what I shall call, feel the pulse o humanity as to our religious question. As we shoul: do in political, so should we do in religious matter —ascertain the ee opinion by a general asse bly. We should summon, so far as the resolutio fore, the clergy; not only the clergy, but allothers, laymen, who have studied the religious questio and we should know from them the state of feeling and ses as to religiosity. We should have the actual transformations effected in the Catholic be- dief by time. We would have a council by the side of the constitutional assembly. We should have universal suffrage, and we should know not what is the individual religious belief, but what is the col- lective belief of the majority. The verdict of the nation will be, as J said in the beginning, that the Pope is a corpse; that there is no power of guidance in it: that we want to be guided by the wisest and the best; and that we find that the Pope is neither ene nor the other. We shall then have done our part. Italy would have legitimately declared that ‘thus stood religious matters; her verdict would be that the papacy had become exhausted, had fulfilled its mission—for it once had a mission—and having some three centuries since, it had nothing now to do —no more than the lies and the phantoms of to- day. Europe would give the answer; but as far as Italy would be concerned, on Italy obtaining the freedom, granted to other nations, of declaring her epinions, she would have proclaimed what would be the death-warrant to the papacy, as temporal and spiritual. (Loud cheers.) Mr. STANSFELD requested M. Mazzini to favor his friends on this occasion with the reasons which urged the national party of Italy to rely in the fu- ture of that country upon a united republic rathor than upon a federalization under an ‘hereditary wonarchical reform. M. Mazzini--This question is often put to me. Plenty of people sympathize with our cause, but {out a sort of sorrowful protest against our declaring ourselves republicans, 1 will answer now, as I in- variably answer those who speak to me so. We do declare ourselves republicans because we are repub- Jicang; and we are republicans mainly, not only, but mainly, because we are Italians, The first point needs no long explanation with such persons as you are. Weare bound to tell our beliefs. And in po- litical affairs not less than in others, truth scoms re- quisite, and is not to be overlooked, Every man aspiring to a great revolution in his own country is bound to say I want such and such—is bound to say where the people he is to transform must go. The frank avowal of the aim is the half, at least, of the guarantee of the suecess. It is quite clear that without the truth, or what I believe to be the truth, jnseribed on my flag, I have no right at all to say toa nation--" Stand up and eonquer, and dio, if need,” because it would be a sort of crime to pro- yoke a nation to do so, without making them know decidedly that there is some truth to be conquered. It is quite clear too, that the attempts we have had in Italy, which have been anonymous, which have not been accompaniod by positive pledges, have failed. In 1821 we had a revolution in Piedmont and in Naples, and the common aim was the inde- pendence of Italy. The Carbonari Association led the people, and believed they could direct them without a defined political ereed. People of every description, of every sect, of every system, flocked to and were accepted in the ranks; for the future was all vague, and all meant the overthrow of the existing state of society. The revolution took place. But the next day the doubts arose. One man had been fighting for a French constitution ; another for Spanish constitution ; another for a republic. and for unity; and another for unity and federalism. Thus, when the battle was te be fought, there were no troops; and in thirty days, therefore, Austria could interveno, and destroyed the revolution. In 1848, we saw the same. The people did not believe in Charles Albert or in Pius the Ninth. But the leaders of the people refused to explain their creed. They said, ‘* Never mind, we shall conquer through the religious power of the ld and through the ar- senals ot the slaves of the King; and in the end, when we have used, we will overthrow them.” The result was the overthrow of Milan, and the battle of Wovaro. It was the same in France in 1830. The republicans meaning & republic talked only of the of the of the reoted on was provoke a not # aristocracy has not been there as a compact body, with its own class, aims, and ambitions, as in Eng- land, doing good, though perhaps unwillingly, but still being an elemont in the whole society. Thero | has been no royalty giving to Italy the centraliza- | tion, and the unity, and the relief from foudalism, which royalty has’ givon in Franco. Our nobles, our Orsinis and Colonnas, have been robbers, mak- ing war on ono another; and our kings have been the results of foreign conquest—still among us, in- | deed, but as vieeroys, attesting their origin | by do- | Pending an foreign aid. We have yo traditions of | monarchy or aristocracy that, as Italians, we can re- | Joice in. We have glories only in the Bron, past and present. All our great battles, from the Lom- bard League to these actual days, have been fought, | not by nobles nor kings, but by the people. Our | great names are names from the people, beloved hy the people—Dante, Michael Angelo, Cola di Kienzi, Massaniollo. Italy has three courses--no | more—to take in the futuro: To accept a sacred | league of independence between all the kings; to accept unity with one predominant king; or to pro- | claim the nation, the people, the collective man ‘The loague of princes would be impossible. Would the King of Naples and the Grand Duke of Tus- cany, the King of Piedmont and the Popo, join together? It is impossible, because the princes exaltation of one of them over the rest. In 1813 such a league was commenced; and when it was seen that the King of Piedmont would become pos- sessed of Eoubarty, as his reward, the other princes withdrew the troops we had obl Gioberti proposed such a league; and uo more may it be talked of in Italy. Well, can we create the one man we want--a Napoleon in skill und a Wash- ington in virtues? Are we to wait till God, or Providence, or chance, sends the man to us? Such aman, being sent, would not, after all, serve for us; for he would know he would be but leading to the seedy, abolition of himself, and the substitution of the people, in his giving the people victory ovor his follow kings. Let us learn by the lessons of the past. Charles Albert was presented as the needed man. The people had fought at Brescia, at Milan, and at e, aud we were free of the Austrians, except the Austrians who had fled to their fortresses. The Kin, r Piodmont stepped in to lend, and we were doomed: The people were rejected. The volunteers and tho Swiss were rejected The people lost their enthusi- asm. But we could have re-created a popular army and have begun again, after Novaro, if the King had not returned to Milan, instead of going his own road, and forced his affected faith on us. Ho then deserted us, and the battle was lost on one side, without hav- ing been begtin on the other. That would be re- god them to send. peated cach time we had a king at our head. Tho sublic, then, is not only a theory, a faith, but a ne tous. Our beautiful republican traditions t with Dante, fighting for republican lorenee, at Campaldino, and Michael Angelo fighting for be- sicged Florence on the height of Samminiato against Charles V. and Clement VIIT.; and we see all that Italy has done has been done by republican Italians- But'T say to you, Englishmen, do not give us your sympathies on conditions. Do not ask us whether We are republicans or -monarchists. Rely upon us, that what we, the majority of Italians, shall do, shall not be done wrong by us. We can do no wrong to human it we listen to the voice of God, through jones, and through our national traditions. reply, of which the above is but an abstract, repeatedly interrupted by applause; the manner of M.

The following ciroular has been addressed by M. Mazzini to the revolutionary committees of the Con- tinent, under the title of Des devotrs dela Demo- cratic “What ought to be at present the mot d’ordre— the rallying cry of parties { All is comprised in one word--action—action,—one European, incessant, logical, bold, and universal. Mere talkers have de- stroyed France; and they will destroy Europe, if a holy reaction is not got up against them. ‘Thanks to such persons, we are now in the time of the Lower Empire. By dint of discussing the future, we have abandoned the present to the first comer. By dint of substituing, each his little sect, his little system, his little organization of humanity, for the great religion of democracy, for the common faith, for the association of power to make a conquest of the position, we have thrown disorganization into the ranks. The sacred phalanx which ought to press forward always as a single man, drawing closer together at each martyr’s death, has come an assemblage of free corps—a veritable camp of Wallestein, minus the genius of the mas- ter. At the hour of attack it fell to pieces on the right and on the left, and was found scattered about in little detachments, everywhere except in the heart of the place. The enemy was ene dis- cussing nothing, but acting always, and it is not by arguing on the best means of cutting and clipping human kind to a fixed standard that the foe can bo dislodged. The time has come to speak the truth plainly to our friends. They have done all the evil Pee to the best of causes; they would have killed it by excess of love and want of intelligenco, it was not immortal. T accuse the sts, and in particular the leaders, of having falsified, muti- lated, diminished our grand idea, by imprisoning our law, common for all, within absolute systems which usurp at the same time power over the liberty soc of the individual, over the ignty of the country, and over the continuity of progress. -I accuse them of having aimed, in the name of their paltry individuality, at ve solutions to the problem of human li was able to manifest itself in the plentitude of its capacity under the action of those great electrie currents called revolutions. I accuse them of having at- ese to produce, at a fixed time, from their weak or diseased brains, an organization which can- not issue except from the co-operation of all the human faculties in action, and of having substituted their solitary I for the collective I of Europe—of having spoken in the name of St. Simon, Fourier, Cabot, or any other, there, where the point was to destroy the revealing agents for the profit of the continued revelation, and to inscribe over the front of the temple, ‘God is God, and humanity is his [sad dges For having forgotten action—for having said, “‘what France owes to Europe is the solution of the organization of labor”—for hav- ing slighted the voice of such of her children as called on all the dissentient parties to organize themselves on a common ground to bear the brunt of battle. France has arrived, by Rome, at the shame of December 2d. The wliote of democratic Europe must now aid France in recovering her posi- tion, as she formerly aided Europe. She must above all advance—advance constantly—advance alone, to force France to join her. The movement of France depends at present on the movement of Europe movement of Tessino and the insurrec- tion of Sicily preceded the republic of 1843.
