spirit came over Pius IX., who recalled the Boman legion, and Qavazzi, passing into Tuscany, made Florence ring with his ap- peals. Expelled from the duchy, he took refuge in Genoa, whence he was recalled to restore quiet in Bologna, the people in that city having broken into open mutiny against the papal government. Bossi having by this time become the chief adviser of Pius IX., shortly afterwards ordered the arrest of Gavazzi, who was sent off, under a strong escort, to the prison at Cometo. On his way the people of Viterbo rose to deliver him, and Pius IX. ordered his release. On the flight of the Pope after the assassination of Bossi, and the formation of the republican govern- ment, Gavazzi, who was re-appointed Chaplain-general of the Forces, organized a committee of noble Boman ladies to provide for the wounded, and superintended the military hospitals. During the armistice concluded with Gen. Oudinot, the Bomans made a sortie under Garibaldi to repel the king of Naples, who had invaded the territory of the republic. Gavazzi accompanied them, and after the defeat of the invader, assisted the dying and wounded on both sides. Betuming to Bome, he occupied himself in sustaining the spirit of the people until they were over- whelmed by the superior forces of the French. At the close of the struggle he left his country, to gain a livelihood by teaching Italian, and lecturing against the Catholic Church. For about six months his lectures in London were attended by crowds, and he afterwards visited the chief towns of Scotland, where he was received with hearty wel- come. In 1851 Gavazzi published his memoirs in English and Italian, and a few months later his " Ora- tions." From Scotland he pro- ceeded to the United States, where he was not so warmly received, and in Canada his orations on more than
