The government issued the following proclamations:—
[Translated from the Monitore Romano, of Monday, July 2, 1849.]
The Constituent Assembly, in the name of God and the people, _decrees_:
The Triumvirs, Armellini, Mazzini, and Saffi have deserved well of the country.
Romans! The Triumvirate is voluntarily dissolved. The Constituent Assembly will communicate to you the names of our successors.
The Assembly, deeply affected, after the act of yesterday, performed by the enemy, with a desire to deliver Rome from extreme dangers, and to prevent the fruitless sacrifice of any more lives for the defence, have decreed the cessation of hostilities. The men who were in the right during the contest, could not well continue to govern in the new times which are preparing. The mandate sent to them has ceased _de facto_, and they hasten to resign it to the hands of the Assembly.
Romans! Brothers! you have written a page which will remain in history, a proof of the power and energy which slept in you, and of your future deeds, of which no force can deprive you.... Assembled under the Republican banner, you have redeemed the honor of the common country, elsewhere contaminated by deeds of evil men, and overthrown by monarchical impotency. Your Triumvirs, becoming simple citizens among you, carry with them the highest comfort in their consciousness of pure intentions, and the honor of having their names associated with your bravest deeds.
A cloud is rising to-day over your prospects and you. It is the cloud of an hour. Remain firm in the consciousness of your rectitude, and with the faith in which many armed apostles among you have died. God, who has treasured up their blood, is surely for you. God wills that Rome shall be great; and she will be. Yours is not a defeat; it is a victory of the martyrs, to whom the tomb is the passage to heaven.... Viva la Republica Romana!
The Triumvirs, GIUSEPPE MAZZINI, CARLO ARMELLINI, AURELIO SAFFI.
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC ADOPTED—THE CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY DISSOLVED.
The Constituent Roman Assembly, in their session of yesterday, definitively voted, with unanimity, and _viva voce_, the Constitution of the Republic.
Having fulfilled, by this act, the essential part of its high mission, the Assembly decreed, on motion of the Deputy Agostini, that the law be engraved on two marble tables and placed on the capital, as an eternal monument of the unanimous will of the people, legitimately represented by their Deputies. Woe to him who shall touch those tables of the new civil and political compact which the Roman People form with themselves before God, in the view of all civilized nations! This compact has been sealed with the blood of martyrs, with the blood of all those who, following the voice of their hearts, hastened to Rome, as to the ancient Mother, to defend the honor and the liberty of Italy, and to lay the first stone of her future and inevitable independence.
