thing for Freedom ; and such are de-
plorably abundant in Italy. Then,
like most nations debased by ages of
slavery, these people have little faith
in each other. The proveb that " No
Italian has two friends " is of Italian
origin. Every one fears that his con-
federate may prove a traitor, and if
one is heard openly cursing the gov-
ernment as oppressive and intolerable
in a crtfr or other public resort, though
the sentiment is heartily responded to,
theutterer is suspected and avoided
as a stool pigeon and spy. Such mu-
tual distrust necessarily creates or ac-
companies a lack of moral courage.—
There are brave and noble Italians,
but the majority are neither brave nor
roble. There are gallant spirit who
joyfully poured our their blood for
Freedom in 1S1S-9, but nine-tenths of
those who wished to the liberal cause
took precious good care to keep their
carcasses out of the reach of Austrian
or French bullets. Even in Rome,
ivíu rc, i ext to Venice, the most credi-
table resistande was made to Despo-
tism,the greater part of the actual fight-
ing was done by Italians indeed, but
refugees from Lombards, Tuscany
and other parts of Italy. Ilad the
Romans who heartily desired the
maintenance of the Republic, shown
their faith by their works, Naples
would have been promptly revolution-
ized and the French driven back to
their ships. On this point, I have the
testimony of eye-witnesses of diverse
sentiments and of unimpeachable
character. Rome is heartily Republi-
can to-day ; but I doubt whether three
effective regiments could be raised
from her large native population to
fight a single fair battle which was to
decide the late of Italy. So with
the whole country except Pied-
mont. and perhaps Geona and Venice.
I wish the fact otherwise ; but there
no use in disguising or mis-stating it.
Italy is not merely enslaved, but de-
based, and not till after years of Free-
dom will the mass of her people evince
consistently the the spirit or the bear-
ing oí Freemen. She must be freed
thiough the progress of Liberal ideas
in France and Germany—not by her
own inherent energies. Not till her
masses have learned to look more
coolly down the throats of loaded and
hostile cannon in fair day-light and
be a little less handy with their knives
in the dark, can they be relied on to
do any thing for the general cause of
Freedom."

To the Sheriff oí said County— Greeting:
Edward Dwyer,
vs.
M A. Vtramen ^i.
WHEREAS, Edward Dwyer has filed his pe-
tition in the District Court of Bexar coun-
ty, against M. A. Verernendi, which petition
recites that on the 5th January 1850. the defen-
dant made and executed his proramissory note to
the plaintiff", for the sum of nine hundred and
seventy three dollars; that twelve months there-
after, the said note became due and payable;
that the same has never been paid nor any part
thereof; thatforthe better securing the payment
of said note, the defendant executed and deliver-
ed to the plaintiff" a mortgage deed to certain
property therein described, which for lapse of
time has become absolute; and the petition prays
judgment and that the said mortgage be foreclos-
ed, and the premises therein described be sold
to satisfy said debt, And whereas Ira P. Jones
one of the Attorneys for the plaintiff'has made
oath that the defendant is not a resident of this
State so that the ordinary process of law cannot
be served upon him:
These are therefore to command you to sum-
mon thesaidM. A. Veramendi, by publication
in the San Antonio Ledger, for four successive
weeks before the return day hereof, to be and ap-
pear at the next Term of the District Court to be
held at the city oi San Antonio, in and for the

A SPANISH THREAT.
The "Southern Press*' (Washington j
City) states that it is informed, on j
good authority that the Captain Gen-
eral ot Cuba, Concha, recently told |
one of our naval officers that if it j
were necesary to secure the Spanish
authority in Cuba, the slaves will be i
liberated and armed against the pat-
riots, and the guns of Moro Castle j
would be turned on Havana. The
Captain-General would have the "fil-
ibusters'' about his ears in good ear-
nest. if he should undertake to carry
on such a proposition ; and nothing
could prevent thousands of Americans
vindicating humanity from so terrible
an outrage. Our Government, even,
would be compelled to interfere, and
Spain would by so infamous an act
seul the fate of her power in Cuba.
