Italy. July 27, 1848  
Supplement  
Italy.  
* Turin, July 19. The Chamber of Deputies discussed yesterday and today the bill on the perpetual expulsion of the Jesuits and of the male and female orders affiliated to them. When the paragraph concerning the Jesuits specifically came to a vote, almost the whole Chamber rose in favour. Only 5 votes (among them Balbo’s) were against. All the deputies belonging to the clergy voted with the majority against the Jesuits. The struggle was fiercest over the expulsion of the Ladies of the “Sacred Heart of Jesus”. A number of Savoyard members absolutely wanted to keep them here. But as no more than 7 votes were found for an amendment proposed in their sense, they fell through brilliantly. – Charles Albert’s political travelling salesman, Gioberti, has returned here from his tour through Italy.  
Turin, July 19. Regarding the ministry to be newly formed, the following list is circulating: Ricci, Pareto (hitherto Minister of the Interior), Casati, Lissoni (both from Milan), Colegno, Revel, Gioia and Paleocapa (Venetian).  
Parma, July 14. Mantua is strictly blockaded by 16,000 Piedmontese and Lombards. The Austrians made a sortie and were repulsed with losses. Several Neapolitans from the 10th Regiment, instead of obeying the order of the bombarding majesty to return, have gone over to the Lombard army.  
(L’Alba.)  
* Bologna, July 16. The excitement in this city over the well-known reply of the Pope to the address is venting itself in various ways. In particular, the white-and-yellow papal cockades are being torn up by the people everywhere and trampled underfoot. Busts of Pius IX are being smashed to pieces in the public squares. General Zucchi has been summoned to Charles Albert’s camp, where his knowledge and abilities will render great service to the cause of Italy. The “Speranza” reports that the French envoy has promised the Pope the assistance of the Republic, should it become necessary and desired.  
Naples, July 13. The royal troops are in possession of Catanzaro, Cosenza and the coastal strip; the insurgents are in the mountains and in the interior of Teriolo. The Cilento people have so far the upper hand. They are marching towards Calabria; likewise those from Lecce. New troops are still being dispatched from here. Ferdinand intends, once he has mastered the insurrection in the south, to throw 20,000 men against Sicily, and is seeking to raise 1 million ducats for the costs by means of the balcony and window tax. The day before yesterday Bozzelli, together with all the other ministers, was invited to a secret session of the Deputies. Here our Neapolitan Guizot had the impudence to assert from the tribune that while the Pope and the other princes of Italy were deceiving their peoples with hypocritical reforms, Ferdinand had magnanimously granted a truly free constitution. He called the programme of April 3 the “father of barricades”. In a few days, he would give an account of Calabria. Troya rose and reproached him with violating the respect due to the Chamber, etc. Gradually a scene ensued which could hardly be matched for violence. The president could do nothing more with his bell. The storm raged on until the president declared the sitting adjourned. It may be said that the ministry was half thrown out of the Chamber of Deputies. War between the Deputies and the ministry is now openly declared. Petrucielli (deputy) was arrested on his arrival here. The Chamber insists on his immediate release. The ministry has promised it.
