'The extraordinary proceedings in Sicily, to *hie' the. British Minister • and Commander-in-Chief Lord William Bentinck was auxiliary, has led to the.fol► lowitig explanation in. The Registro Politico, dated 15th of Is)vember, from Palcimo : . • DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT. This event has already been announced in all the publie.prints of this Island, and we therefore forbear repeating - the ciccumstances or transcribing the Speech made on the occasion in the name of his Royal Highness the Prince Vicar,. by his Excellency the Prince Della Catholica, Royal Commissary, which bas been so generally the subject of conversa tion, but we conceive it. to, be our duty to offer some reflections, not to discourage, but on the contrary; to, give satisfaction to the public mind. • 'Chose who are not sufficiently acquainted with the human heart to ,know the tardiness and difficulty of its progress towards perfection, have been both asto nished and alarmed at the disorderly proceedings which have hastened the dissolution of the Parlia ment of the present year. Murmurs have been heard predicting the dissolution of the Government, on the ground of the impossibility of conferring a free cop,. stitution on a nation which it not prepared to receive it, and which is incapable of enjoying it with discre tion"; and it is further said, that there it nothing to be expected Rom such a system but the disunion cof the elements of the State, and the introduction of a new Ministerial despotism more injurious and. tyran nical than the worst they had to apprehend from .the ancient institution. • SuCh are the arguments which are employed, but the •eieof wisdom discovers in .the midst of these.po-, liticarsOphisms nothing mote in what has occurred than the natural and necessary consevence of morsd imprOvesitent. rinstead•of having ins-tears awakenpf., 46 man ix, rather appears- susprialik that the change, in Sicily should hive been effected: with so little difficulty, and that her regenetatio should have been accomplished in so Short aperiei and with so little disturbance. • • • Whoever is acquainted with history, cannot be.ig nerant that not only the release from tyrannical chains, but even the variations, of , a trifling natnreii in the scheme of government, base often deluged whole countries with blood, and involved them in all. the miseries of civil contention. The Sicilians;how. ever, fortunately assisted by powerful allies, and. ge. . netously supported by. the dynasty which rules over them,- have become free at one leap from the vor tex o f deipotismeand have - obtained, as the basis Of Asir : future happiness, a constitution furnished.by sindie nation, 4nd which to that nation has cost a uflabotir, vigilance, discretion, 'and courage. Who then would have flattered himself, that a transition so rapid, so unexpected, and so ea nary. could have been. made from a Co vnritst t iM solute in the esevcise, if not in the right; and th atibi hearts and minds of Sicilians co uld have been awaJ keoed from the long dream of slavery with Such.* gentle contussion 'rise two great co - operativ e springs of human action (each of - which is .tepreseni.
