MORSNAN drew last night a striking picture of the state of Continental Europe. All the Western nations are living under a menace. France has fixed her eye upon them. The Emreaoa is counting their armies, weighing their interests, and finding out by which sole they may be best approached. This State is marked for dismember ment, that for annexation, and all for subjection to French interests. Both governments and people are more alarmed, and with more reason, than at any time since the commencement of the century. We fear that all this is too true ; but why is the House of Commons detained to hear the apprehensions of Germany while the Saramaar of the A D3ll HURT( stands waiting' with the Navy Estimates ? We listen, and Mr. H'Mxar tells us, England is under en gagements to secure Europe against the dangers that are threatening it, and State after State is looking to us for the decision which is to seal their fate. In the face of these grave events Mr. Success is anxious to know what we are going to do ; he wants a direct, clear, and unmistakeable announcement of the course England will take. " What," he asked, "is the " principle on which our foreign policy is to be " conducted with reference to those treaty obli. " gations which we have incurred in the general " interest and for the conunon safety of Europe I" We (10 not know how far the hon. member for Stroud may be entitled to speak in the name of the governments and peoples of Europe, and to represent their thoughts and feelings. We hope and believe that their moral and political attitude is not exactly that which he has described. But we are quite sure that the English nation is not conscious of the vast and comprehensive obligations which Mr. Hoax- MA% has set forth. When the hon. member tells us that the unnamed States whose cause he would have us to take up are trembling with fear, it becomes the more necessary to examine with strict ness our duties with reference to such undesirable allies. According to Mr. HORANI A N'S argument we ought to interfere whenever the principle of the Treaty of 1815 is violated, and that principle, according to the hon. gentle man, was " the protection of Europe against " French aggression." It is undoubtedly true that the treaties of Vienna were framed under the predominating sense of the necessity of taking precautions against France, and that that necessity became a cover for so much injustice and wrong as to cause an immense amount of suffering, and in the end to endanger the whole fabric of diplomacy. But a one-sided prohibitiveness can never become the heals of any international arrangement destined to endure ; and to say with Mr. Ilomese, that "the deliberate judgment of " Europe fixed the boundaries and defined the " frontiers of the several States with the one sole " aim and object of confining France within her " own limits, and providing for the security of " Europe against the perpetual danger and insa " liable recklessness of French ambition," is simply to confound the incidental and transitory with the essential and permanent. The Treaties of 1815 settled Europe after a long period of instability and change. That was their use and merit. From the date of their signature each State might at least assume that its territorial frontier, being fixed and ascertained, would not be disturbed. France signed the final act of the Congress equally with the other Powers, and accepted the advantages with the responsibilities of that instrument. The Treaties of 1815 have been valued by all serious statesmen—not because of any original and supreme rights supposed to belong to their authors, for the title arrogated by the Powers to dispose of peoples and territories was often doubtful and sometimes usurpatory—nor because they contain the judg• merit of a court having power to enforce its deci sions—hut because they offered a political basis for the peaceful progress of nations, no longer required to exhaust their energies and resources in defend ing themselves against the illegal and arbitrary power of their neighbours. The States of Europe have their existing frontiers by most various titles—by historical possession, by conventions, or by the fusion of free peoples ; but they have all a right to remain undisturbed, those which have no treaty guarantees as much as the rest. The last ing and profoundest sources of international right are dishonounsl by these exclusive references to the Treaties of Vienna, as if all law stood or fell with them. Nothing can enhance the obligation which the most powerful among States in under to respect the independence of its weakest neighbour, and nothing can he more obvious than that every State is injured when those obligations are disregarded. If all nations were free and all governments enlightened, it would be impossible for any crafty despot to violate the States around him. Co-operation world be easy because the course of legality would be clear. But the clear dictates of public law have been corrupted by the pretensions of legitimacy, and again and again we have found ourselves compelled to stand neutral, because we could not aid an ally , to resist an act of aggression without also assisting him to persevere in a course of oppression, not always confined to his own subjects. Let the principle of non-intervention be admitted, and we shall have made • great advance towards the establishment of a basis on whichwe can unite with other nations to maintain the general independence of States. But whatever improvements may be made in our public law, every State happening to be menaced with aggression must seek safety before all things in its own courage. The individual householder must show that he has done his best to protect his property before he can call on the hundred to make good his Ices ; so it must be with nations. Certain States are trembling, says Mr. HOUNAN. Well, we had our shivering fits about this time last year. We shall have no more. Danger may increase, but panics will not return. The reason is, that we have left off trusting to the en lightenment and /oyauth of anybody, and under Providence have taken our safety into our own keeping. When we see our friends abroad doing the same we shall have much more confidence in them, and feel much more concern for their success. But in the meantime we shall not be guilty of pledging the power of England to supply the place of patriotism in this State and brotherly union in that Confederation. Mr. Holmium bids us to observe how weak and vulnerable Germany is :—" She dreads France, " and the assaults of France through the petty " German courts. She remembers the terrible " outrages and sufferings inflicted by France dur " ing six years of tyranny. She would willingly " fight, but she has no friend to rely upon if Eng " land does not stand by her." Well, is there not a cause 1 The Germans are capable of as much attachment to their country as other people. There are thirty-six millions of them. If they will not learn the lessons of experience, if they would rather range themselves under an alien banner than join their brethren, can we save them I They have permitted themselves to be parcelled out into petty States with rival interests for the convenience of princes, and when opportu nities of union have offered they have allowed them to pass by. It may be that a new war will be required to teach them the duty of union, of which the Italians have set the example : but we cannot help it. We shall not move a finger to save the Duke of This or the Elector of That when ho is forced to put on the uniform of a foreign Sovereign because he has forfeited the sup port of his people. The time may come when we may be able to servo the interests of our neighbours, but it will be when free nations unite to fight for liberty and independence. Lord Jomv Amami, had no difficulty in show ing Mr. HOLMAN that his call to arms was quite premature. As to Savoy, we have done more than any other Power, as the FOREIGN SIA:RETARY observed— " When we first heard, not that it was a matter intended, but that it was a matter which might be intended, and which might be carried into effect, we stated that such a transfer of territory would hate injurious consequences both to France and to the general peace and tranquillity of Europe. But we were not entitled to say to the King of Sar dinia, ' You shall not yield your territory to France,' nor were we entitled to say to the Em peror of the French, You shall not accept the territory from the King of Sardinia, which he has a right to yield.' So much was this the view of one at least of the courts of Europe that the Em peror of Ramis, by his minister, said that this was entirely a matter that concerned the two sove reigns ; that the Emperor of the French had a right to aak for the cession, and the King of Sardfida had a right to make it, and that with regard to the cession there could be no further question about it." As to the Swiss question we stand on different grounds. Lord JOHN RrritOLlJ, put our legal posi tion very clearly : " There being, by common consent, a great change in the conditions of the neutrality that was formerly provided with regard to • territory which was then • territory of the King of Sardinia, but which is now • territory of the Emperor of the French, it becomes a grave question, a most inte resting and important question, how that neutra lity is to be efficiently maintained in the sense in which the Powers of Europe wished to establish it. That is a question which, so far from being a question of war, is one that deserves to be consi dered by the coolest heads, by the greatest expe rience, and with the most mature judgment. Well, there has been no objection made by the French Government to the:examination of this question. It is in general terms stated in the treaty of Turin that the Emperor of the French will come to an understanding with the Powers of Europe upon the subject. The Swiss Confederation, through their Federal Council, have asked that there should be a conference upon it ; and the French Govern ment have, through their Miniater—their chargé d'affafrea in London—stated that they have no ob jection to make to that conference. To the confer ence itself, and to the principle upon which that conference should meet—namely, the reconciling of the treaty of Vienna with the present state of things, and the treaty which has been lately con cluded between the Emperor and the King of Sar dinia—them cannot be the least objection, and the French Government declare themselves ready to enter into it. Then I say it does not depend upon England alone, or upon our boasting declaration, as I should call it, that we are ready to go to war with France—it requires that all the Powers of Europe should, in a certain manner, be agreed with respect to the guarantee which should be required, and the precautions which should be taken in order to give Switzerland a future guarantee for her security."

The presentation to Lord Churston has been postponed. "It was to have taken place," says the Ply ssoutA Journal, " on the 29th, at Newton Abbot, and the enthusiasm of his lordship's admirers would not be content without securing the presence of Mr. Disraeli and Lord Derby. Those parliamentary magnates could not come, and the ceremony is postponed in the hope that their at tendance may be had shout the partridge season." The Bishop of Oxford and the Bishop of Lincoln, with other distinguished guests, have been visiting at the seat of Sir C. H. J. Anderson, Bert., at Lea, near Gains borough. On Sunday last both their lordships preached in the very pretty church there, thejatter in the morning, and the former in the afternoon. There were large con gregations. Collections were made after each service 1 - 77,ai of the Propagation of the Gospel Society. The Bishop of Is ondon has instituted lithe Rev.

Arrangements in the Education-office will render It unnecessary to fill up the inspectorship which has become vacant by the death of the late Mr. Jelinger Symoads. In consequence of the attempts which are being made to delay the progress of the Reform Bill through the House of Commons, the Parliamentary Reform Committee have convened a meeting of reformers to be held on Tues. day next, at the Guildhall Coffeehouse, to consider what steps it is desirable to take under existing circumstances. Mr. Jackson will, on Tuesday next, move that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be graciously pleased to issue a royal commission to inquire into the system of control and management of her Majesty's dockyards, the purchase of materials and store*, the cart of building, repairing, altering, fitting, and refitting her Majesty's ships. The Duke of Newcastle has returned the follow ing reply to a request that be will present to the Queen the petition of the lace manufacturers, already mentioned in our columns :—" Colonial-office, April 18, 18030.—Sir,—I very much regret to hear of the distress prevailing in the lace trade of Nottingham, of which I was previously aware, and shall be happy to do anything in my power to relieve it. I shall be prepared to lay before the Queen the petition of the manufacturers referred to in your letter when I re ceive it. In consequence of • private communication, I have already mentioned the subject to her Majesty, and I have received her kind assurances that she will take such steps as I should recommend—l am, sir, your obedient servant, NEWCANTLI." From a letter addressed by General Decavero to Lord Normanby, it appears that the only answer which his lordship has made to an indignant demand for the grounds of grave charges brought against the gallant officer, is the extract of a private letter, with the signature scratched out, in which, amidst a great deal of abuse against the Piedraunteee, there is a large share for General De covert', who then had the honour of occupy ing the most eminent position among them. "That extract," writes the general, "if it were authenti cated by the signature of the writer, might, at the utmost, prove that a portion of the things reported by your lordship hare really Lees said. But your lordship will eaaily under stand that that can absolutely not be sufficient for me, and that I require proofs not only that such things Aare teen said, Gat also that the things reported are tree. • • I shall, however, deem myself satisfied if you will publish that., led into error by your correspondent, you have armed facts and things which never existed, and that, being now better informed, you have no objection to deny them, and to retract the offensive article published against me. If, however, your lordship should refuse his moderate sad just satisfaction, which you owe to yourself aa well as to me, in order not to incur the disgrace of having been willing knowingly to calumniate an honourable and old soldier, I shall be obliged to make publicly known that your lordship is guilty of a deliberate falsehood, and a slanderer ; and I decLue myself ready to maintain my assertion in any manner that may he required either against your lordship, if you are so pleseed, orsgainst say other person who would make himself known to me as your representative." Advictm from St. PeMrsharg state that Ritgaia has ordered her diplomatic agents to quit Pekin during the approaching hostilities. The reason given is that she desires to avoid hciug accused either by England or France of aiding or counselling the Chinese. THE EARL OP EUHS.—We understand that the Earl of Elgin will take his departure on Monday next, on his mission to China. • THE WHITTINGTON CU:B.—Last evening Mr. H. (Alay delivered a lecture on " Diplomacy and the Pre rogative of the Crown in Matters of Peace and War," in the groat room of the Whittington Club. The discourse, which tended to show that secret diplomacy was contrary to con stitutional law and established precedent,dating from nearly 1,000 years hack, was listened to with great attention and warmly applaaded at the close. _ _ Ha. Eaxs + rr Jomen.—We understand that Mr. Ernest Jones is about following hi■ profession u a bar. ri■ter, and inteorls practising in the Old Bailey and on the Northern eircuit. Mr. Jones was called to the bar at the Middle Temple, in 1844. SVDDIM DICATH OF • MAGIATRATZ.—We regret to have to announce the sudden death of James Hoary no maain, Fag., one of the numistmtes of this moody, which took place at his residence in Witham. The deceased gen tleman had attended at the magistrates' clerks office, and heard a case about one o'clock. He was taken ill shortly aftarwanis, sal his, medical attendant, Mr. Proctor, was called in, when it was found he was suffering from aet of opixy, and in about half an hoar he oared to exit. He had been uuwell for some time pail. --Clidasoferst (7/ironic-fr.

The following telegrams have been this day re ceived from Brigadier Coghian at Ad&n : " FEROZEPORE, MAlca 23. " Quiet prevails in India. " A serious fire broke out in Daoca, which destroyed half the town. Six thousand families have been reduced to destitution. Subscriptions have been commenced to relieve the sufferers. "There have been some agrarian riots among the indigo cultivators at Vererhuago (I) and the neighbourhood. " The Governor-General Ivan at Holy (1).

"In two districts of Lower Bengal much ex citement has arisen, connected with the cultivation of indigo; but we apprehend no disturbances which will not be promptly suppressed by military polies. The magistrates' powers have been enlarged by a temporary law, and a special commission of inquiry will be issued. "The Lieutenant-General of Bengal reports that he has every reason to believe that the excitement in the indigo districts is passing off, and that he has no apprehension of serious disturbances any where. " Passioxicr IN COUNCIL "Calcutta, April 1." -7 1kiniGARY. VIENNA, TEICIISDAY. Archduke Albert Mires provisionally from his as ail and military Governor of Hu - • One —ernor _lun riO _ _ , asa and is replaced by General Benedek, wh o i s lotted to regulate the municipal laws, to 11-organise the oozed on the base of the old in siltutions, to submit his propositions for a oentral representation (Diet) in Hungary, and to unite the five administrative sections into one single admi nistration (Statthalterei) at Buda. THE BOMBAY MAIL Bombay journals of the 27th ult., received this morning, state that Mr. Wilson's exhaustive speech on the introduction of a paper currency has been received in all parts of India with the same marked favour which was shown to his financial statement. The cancelling of their privilege of issuing notes has had a depressing effect on the Presidency Banks ; but the general confidence in the wisdom of the proposed change is so great that the shares of the Bombay Bank, which at first fell 10, have since recovered 5 per cent. The agrarian insurrection ou the part of the ryots in the Kislinaghur is said to have been greatly exaggerated in the Calcutta papers ; but several factory houses have been burnt down ; the planters and their assistants have been put in ter ror of their lives, and for a time the cultivation of indigo was altogether stopped. " The government of Bengal," says the Bombay Gazette, " has has tened to atone, so far as it can, for the blunder of • subordinate, by issuing a notification to the ryots that, although it is optional for them to enter into contracts with the planters, yet, when they are made, they must be fulfilled. But peace has not yet returned to the disturbed districts ; and ano ther serious shock has been given to the existence of any kindly feelings between the conquered race and the conquerors." The numerous friends of Sir James Outram will be happy to learn that a letter has been received from him dated the 17th March, in which he an nounces his recovery from the severe illness under which he recently :abound, and his resumption of his official duties. His own words are, "I am per fectly well now, and have returned to work." The sentence of death on Khan Bahadoor Khan has been confirmed, and he will be hanged in front of the Kotawali at Bareilly, on the very spot where he sat and watched the murder of his Euro pean victims. The Governor-General continues his progress in the north-west, having received the Maharajah of Cashmere, and a deputation from our old ally and enemy, Host Hammed Khan of Cabul. Sir Henry Somerset, dispensing with the usual ceremony of a parade, left India on the 27th ult., attended by a mere guard of honour to the place of embarkation, after a five years' command of the Bombay army. Sir Hugh Rose has assumed the command as a temporary measure. THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY. PALERMO, Aram 11 (viA MARSEILL7.B). The insurrection was suppressed through treachery in the Convent Gancia. The city is tranquiL Nevertheless, the prin cipal roads are daily patrolled by a column of 3,000 men, consisting of cavalry, infantry, and artillery. The members of a revolutionary com mittee, amongst whom are several eminent persona, have been condemned to death. The King has ordered their execution to be delayed. MFMINA, Aran. 16 (vu MAISIMLLYJI). Tranquillity is restored and commerce is re sumed. Several young men, compromised in the late events, have fled the country. The emigration of the inhabitants is considerable. During the insurrection the citadel was obliged to cannonade four large Calabrian barques, which attempted to pillage. FRANCE. The Constitotionue/, in au article signed by M. Boniface, relative to the reforms introduced in Hungary by Austria, says :—" France views with satisfaction those acts which bring peoples nearer to their governments, and which, by assuring the internal tranquillity of states, are a token of peace for Europe." Abbi Sisson has been pardoned. PARIS, ThURSDAY, 3.5 P.M. A better tendency has prevailed to-day on the Bourse, and prices have improved. The final quotation of Rentes was 70.20, being a recovery of per cent. since yesterday. ROME. ROME, THURSDAY. The Pope has appointed Monsiguore Count Merode, of Belgium, as Minister of War, which ministry was provisionally directed by Cardinal Anteneth. Cardinal Antonelli has addressed a note to all the foreign representatives socredited to the Papal government, protesting against the inoorporation of thu Legations with Piedmont. England having no official representatives at Rome, Cardinal Antonelli has remitted a copy of the protest to Mr. Odo Russell. The Papal protest expresses a hope that the Powers of Europe will not only refuse to re oogniae the annexation of the Legations to Pied mont, but that they will also co-operate to put an end to this iniquitous spoliation. THE VOTING IN NICE. The Paris papers contain the following message from Nice : " Nearly all the communes of the mountains have voted unanimously for annexation to France. The number of voters will exceed 20,000. The vote of 70 communes is known. Up to the present time only 160 noes have been registered." THE GERMAN CONFEDERATION. FRANprORTON-THE-NAINE, THUZSDAT. In to-day's sittings of the Federal Diet, Electoral Hesse declared his readiness to conform to the re solutions taken by the Federal Diet on the 24th of March. The protest of the Grand Duke of Tuscany against the annexation of Tuscany to Piedmont has been laid before the Federal Diet. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aram 11. (Via Marseilles.) The deputation from Servo has not been well received. The Porte has resolved on resisting its demands, and is about to concentrate 30,000 men at Schumla. Baron Prokeach will shortly leave for Vienna, to receive instructions upon this grave affair. The calling out of the Redifs is difficult ; the po pulations, excited by foreigners, reaisting their de parture. . _ Disturbances have taken place in the Greek and catholic churches, caused by an invasion of gens d'armes. The Christians have protested against this breach of their privileges. Austria has in tergas protectress of the church. ir d Duke of Brabant has been brilliantly fated. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer China, Captain Jay, hu arrived here. The barque Chance, which left Cadiz on the 27th alt., with salt for Newfoundland, put back on the Bth inst., in • leaky state. Gibraltar exchange on London, ninety days, 50} ; Paris, Mr. 35c. ; Marseilles, Mr. 31c. ; Madrid, eight days' sight, to i discount. Freights unaltered. THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. LIVERPOOL, THCRADAT. The Montreal Ocean Mail Steamship Company's screw steamer Bohemian, Captain Grange, which left Port land (Maine) on the 7th instant, passed Holyhead this day at neon, but will probably be detained by want of water until 8 ...'clock this evening. The Bohemian called at Queenstown last night, to land mails and passengers, and a summary of her news was tele graphed from thence. FRANCE. (PION 001 OWN CORIESPONDIENT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The wondrous fact that in the city of Nice, which was notoriously hostile to the annexation to France, and which but a few days ago returned Garibaldi to parliament, only 11 votes were re corded against 7,000 enthusiastic adherents of Na poleon 111., remains as yet quite unexplained for Parisian readers. The Pays of this evening merely says that at the " moment of going to press " the government had not received the definitive result of the ballot for the " arrondissement" of Nice, and that it would probably not be officially known till late in the evening. The Courrier de Marseille affirms that negotia tions for the cession of Monaco to France have led to an arrangement to which the prince has con sented. The Petrie continues to assert, notwithstanding very positive statements to the contrary lately made in a London journal, that the evacuation of Lombardy by the French army is regularly going on according to the p e ; it adds that by the middle of neat month the movement will in all probability be completed. Bellier's Corn/par deice, however, says somewhat significantly that the bulk of the army will certainly not leave Italy until after the ratification by the Sardinian parlia ment of the cession of Savoy and Nice. It is worth while to quote, as showing at least one phase of the impressions prevalent on the conti nent, the following comment in the Independence Beige (which journal was detained by the police till a very late hour) upon M. Grandguillot's admission in the Comstitutiound, after a current of assertions to the contrary in the French government papers, that Switzerland has not resigned herself to treat directly with France—and without reference to the powers parties to the treaties of 1815—of the ques tion of the neutralized provinces of Savoy : Have we to note • sudden change in the state of the negotiations relative to Chablaia and Faucigny ; and he we to understand that the reiterated statements put forward within the last few days with so much appearance of authority are now altogether denied! It may semi diffi cult to say so, but the fact is undoubted, that * denials sock in from all quarters, and are clothed with a sort of official character, of the fact that there are any direct negotiations between Switzerland and France. It follows that all that Ins been recently said of an arrangement between the two countries being imminent must go for nothing. The Con stetutionnet affirms that negotiations can only take place between the powers who signed the treaty of Vienna. This much is now certain, that if conversations—in default of positive negotiations--have been going on between Paris and Berne, they are, to say the very least, on the point of being broken off ; and that the relations between the two governments have aasumed • degree of tension which the news of but • few days since were far from anticipating. Notwithstanding the semi-official repudiation of the pamphlet, " La Coalition," which caused the fall yesterday, the Bourse has not recovered to day: The Bente opened heavily, and, after trivial variations, closed at 69.90 and 69 .95, with a further ' fall of 10 and 5. Mobilier fell 1.25. Railways were, on the whole, somewhat lower, but the change was very smalL The Pays comes forward to back the assertion of a ministerial journal of Madrid, that the Spanish government hail not connived at the escape of the Count de Montemolin and his brother, in order to avoid the embarrassment of a prosecution. The princess, it says, are pursued, and, whatever may be the ideas of clemency entertained by the Queen, they will, if taken, be brought to justice. General Lamoriciere, true to the new colours which, to the astonishment and grief of all his old friends, he has adopted, chooses the head of his staff from the ranks of the Austrian army. The Marquis de Pimodan, a retired colonel, is the indi vidual selected. A letter from Florence states that in conse9uence of a concentration of several Pontifical regiments between Perugia and Ancona the Sardinian govern ment has sent a military force to the extreme fron tiers of Tuscany. The eminent advocates, lately deceased, MK Bethmont and Lionville, following the example of the lamented M. Paillet, have each left a legacy of 10,000 francs to the Council of Order, to be employed in premiums for the encouragement of young barristers. ITALY. SARDINIA. (FRON OOR OWN CORRNAPONDENT.) TURIN, Ann.l6. At half-past four o'clock yesterday afternoon one hundred deputies and ten senators left here for Genoa, where they embarked for Leghorn, and this morning they have doubtless accompanied the king (who left here two hours later) during his solenmentmuce into Florence. When the king came out of the royal palace to proceed to the railway station the people crowded the square and along the whole way vociferously cheered him. The inha bitants of Turin are delighted thatTuscanyand the Emilia are preparing for their chivalrous king an enthusiastic reception. You are aware that the diplomatic corps does not accompany hies. It was intended at first that the ministers of France and England should go, but as the Count of Stackel berg explained that it would be equally painful for him to accept and to refuse, and as it was known that the other ministers would have declined the invitation if proffered, the idea wee given up, and disagreeable remarks were thus avoided. Several members of our nobility have also gone toFlorence, and will join the cortege, but of course you will learn all the details from your special correspon dent, who will be an eye-witness of the scene. General Fanti, the Minister of War, has i ssue d an order to all the chiefs of corps, directing tls.e, to cause the men and officers belonging to Savoy and Nioe to vote yes or no respecting the annexa tion of those provinces to France. On this occa sion the voting will be really free. I wish it were equally so in Savoy and Nioe. General Garibaldi was persuaded at Genoa by his friends not to go to Nice ; so he has contented himself with declaring through the press :—" I protest against the violence offered to Nice by means of corruption and brute force. I reserve for myself and my fellow-citizens the right of claiming back my native laud at a time when the rights of nations shall not he a vain word..' The rumour now current here is that Garibaldi ' has either left, or is on the point of leaving, for Sicily, where he wishes to take part in the liberation. Had such a step been really contemplated by biro, I think it would have been secret, f o r of course the Neapolitan consul at Genoa and Baron Canofari, who represents here the Bourbon monarch, would soon ascertain such a fact, if true, and telegraph forthwith to the authorities at Naples, who would promptly take preventive tummies. I should be sorry to see Garibaldi treated as Pisacane, or a repetition of any such affair as that of the Cagliari. OTANI ANOTILEI COBILESPONDF.NT.) TrittN, Aram le. General Garibaldi, seeing that the Italians of ' Nice have resolved to adopt the policy of absten tion, has given up his design of revisiting his native town, and gone to Genoa, where he yester day took part in the meeting of the political society La Nations, and accepted the chairmanship of the committee for giving assistance to the insurgents of Sicily. This Sicilian movement excites here the most intense interest, and it in believed that though the great towns on the northern coast are undoubt edly in the hands of the Neapolitan government, the interior of the island and southern maritime towns havebeenoccupiedby the insurgents, whohave established a government at Corte mu. At Palermo I the number of arrests is incredible ; even the Prince of Nismuni could not escape prison, though his political opinions were not suspected, for having spoken some bold words against the indiscriminate persecutions of Signor Maniacalchi, the director of police. The fight of the 4th instant wax begun by the soldiery, who surprised the oniapirators when they had assembled in the mon as t e ry della Galicia— a friend, Fra Michele di Sant Antonio, having betrayed their meeting. Whilst the struggle con tinued round the monastery, the Neapolitan frigates and steamers bombarded and destroyed the village of Ficarim*, in the neighbourhood of the capit a l, t o keep the inhabitants known for their revolutionary tendency, off from Palermo. After the defeat of the insurgents, the venerable Oases of the nunnery della Sante Croci was arrested for having granted au asylum to two flying insurgents in the cloisters of the building. It seems now to be certain that that illustrious condottiere, General de Lamoricire, in turn legiti mist, Orleanist, republican, and pontifical, has received permission from the imperial government to serve a foreign prince and to anumand the papal bands of Croats, Austrians, Bavarians, Swig, and Irish, a motley crowd of hirelings such as has not been seen in Europe for the lust three hundred years. Napoleon sees that a revolution is nearly inevitable in the Neapolitan states, and wishe• to prevent the annexation of Southern Italy to the northern kingdom, and lamoricirre has to keep separate the two movements which agitate the peninsula. The inheritance of the Bourbons is not to devolve upon Victor Emmanuel, but upon Murat. Still if such is the wish of the Tuileries, Poerio, Scialoja, and all the other Neapolitan re fugees at Turin, take a different view, and agitate in favour of Italian unity under Victor Emmanuel, in the hope that " the logic of events" will, as in Central Italy, prove stronger than the wishes of the Tuileries. THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NAPLES, APRIL 14 lom POST). A steamer has come in from Palermo just in time to allow of my giving the reports of two consuls. They say that the city was quiet ; the shops not open ; and they write, ou the 12t h, the insurgen ts were in occupation of all the neighbouring placesexcept Monreale. Engagements "maimed daily, in which hisses were incurred on either side. The troops were expecting reinforcements, when they could advance, but not till then. At the last moment the intelligence arrived that Miselmeri, the headquarters of the insurgents, had been re taken by the troops, who occupied it. The insur gents, on the approach of the us sops, fired and then retired. Castelcicala has Rent up to urge that the coast be watched. It is reported that bodies of volunteers have lauded, some stAV tat CNN Passaic, others in some part of the island. A German gen tleman who has arrived says that it is impossible to describe the misery of the population. The sol diers and police Lave robbed extensively, bat the odium of the people is directed principally against the police. No persons are allowed to leave the island but foreigners. A holy had been taken out of their vessel by the polies: just before they left. She was , I believe, the Baroness de Riso ; and, as you know, her husolsenol, the Prince Niscemi, Prince Giardiuchi, and the Duke Monte. leone, are all under arrest. ADDRESS TO GARIBALDI. TO THE EDIToIt oF THE EAPHEo4. ..... SIR, —The enclosed paper contains an address presented at Genoa to General G ariba h i, when that noble champion of Italian patriotism was g,oins to protest in parliament against the ec , sion of Nice. The address was filled by a large miller of signa tures from persons of all dames, :old several aniong the subscribers have expressed their wish to have It published by the English press. I consequently take the liberty ssf asking you, in their name, to have the kindle,: to allow it space in your valuable paper. The address is one of the many protests, or rather cries of anguish, which have risen from the heart of the Italians at the surrender of Nice to imperial France ; a surreii.kr, the arbitrary cha racter of which is made 111.114 e by the mockery of an appeal to local suffrage in a gitLation of general interest for the whole country, and when that suf frage could but represent the result of foreign cor ruption and pressure over* helpless c aa t imuity.* The Genoese protest bcais witness to the wide schism which exists in our days between the moral conscience of nations and the so-taillol practical policy which governs them. It shows, also, that in spite of the yielding dispositions of both govern ment and the parliamentary. majority in Turin, the better part of the Italian people is with the cause of justice and human dignity, and abhors bartering men's rights for any profit wfuntsoever. The cuerciftn of the strong over the weak may be mitubitte4l to with dignity, reserving for right and humanity that moral protest over which force Ins no control, and which avenges, at lem-t, the honour of a country. But to yield mid attempt to justify the immorality of the tnuisaction on utilitarian grounds tells an ominous the for the future of 3 rising nation ' and a very sorrowful one for evcrevery'true-hearted Italian. . . _ It is this feeling that prompts me frissias to show to Europe that such a poheV 41...% not represent the genuine aspirations of the It duru patriot , — I am, &c., SAFFI.
