Count Confalonieri.
We lhave received a letter datedt Edinburgh, March 15, and signed " Bossi," respecting this ill-used nobleman: we cannot find room for more than the following ex- tract " I declare that it is an utter falsel/owd to say that the Count Confialonieri wished tO betray his own party. If it was to, we, his friends, would be the first to abandon him; but his honour, his courage, and the vigour and firmness of his character, are too well known to his countrymen, for them ever to conceive a doubt so in- jurious to his reputatimn. These qualities, and his well-known opinion in favour of national independence, rendered Iiini in the be- ginning one of the principal objects of fear, and now of hatred, of o'ir oppTeesors. After he ha5 been condemned to finish his life in a miserable dungeon, they attempt to deprive him of the only good that remains to him-th e reputation of an honest man. They have caused to be inserted in the French ultra jouranls (and the English papers have repeated it), that the Count (onfalonieri was accused by the pRblic voice of having been the assassip of Prina. This is also an utter falsehood. N'o motive could ever have induced such a man as Confalonieri. whose public and private conduct has always been that of a man of honour. to lend his hand to so base an assassina- tion ; besides, Confalonieri, far from beinig the personal enemy of Prina, had no acquaintance with him. The insurrertion in a of the 20th of April, 1814, was first directed against ar arbitrary decision of the Senate of the Kingdom of Italy, in which Prina had taken no part; but after the people had gained their object, a part of the mob directed itself against the person of Prina, who fell a victim to the fury of the people, who had been for a long time op- pressed by many Yexatimusmea;SUes, adopted by this unhappy Ali- nister of the Finances. The pamphlets, or rather the infamous and anonvmous libels, which were published at that timne against the Couni Confalonieri, have not dared to mention this calutmny. They would not have failed to invent and to proclaim it, if they had been able to give it an appearance of truth. I *' B~~~~"E2NGNTO BOSSI." COUNT CONFALONIERI.
