CHAPTER III.


The Present State of Corsica, with respect to Government, Religion, Arms, Commerce, Learning, the Genius and Character of its Inhabitants.


AFTER running over the revolutions of an island, which has experienced so many vicissitudes, it will be agreeable to consider the result of these vigorous exertions in the cause of liberty. I shall, therefore, with much pleasure, present my readers with the state of Corsica as it now is.

The Government of Corsica is, as follows. Every paese or village, elects, by majority of votes, a Podestà and other two magistrates, who have the respectable name of 'Padri del Commune; Fathers of the Community.' These magistrates are chosen annually. They may be continued in office for several years, at the will of the community; but there must be a new election every year.
