included these societies how ever continue to exist and to correspond with each other various individuals belonging to them were arrested from time to time particularly in lombardy in january 1819 ; when thirty persons with ah their papers were seized they were all persons of con sideration and among them were several no blemen while these arrests were making in lombardy two carriages of carbonari were arrested at the gate del popolo at rome the secrecy observed made it difficult to as certain the names of these persons or the fate to which tbey were doomed it is well known however that numerous individuals belonging to these orders were tried in dif ferent parts of italy and condemned to im prisonment in different castles and fortresses in the winter of 1818-19 the trial of count liallo and nineteen other carbonari took place in rome it appeared that they were in correspondence with the other similar po litical sects ; that these societies were very numerous in lombardy and the eastern side . of the pontifical ancl neapolitan states ; and that their object was the independence ancl union of italy and the establishment of a con stitutional government in that country the pmblem or coat of arms of the carbonari seized in the room iu which they met at bo logna is two swords united ; above them is a large star meaning that the sect is favored bv heaven ; the sun on
