He had already written to his soli • Francis,. that his health being re-established, he v. - as going to resume the Government, provisionally confided to that Pi ince as Vicar-Gcnerid. Lord Bentinck, who thought there was more to he feared in keeping the King a prisoner, 'and in a state of debasement, and in employing a part ot his forces as his guard, considered it the more necessary to skew him to the inhabitants of Palermo, as a fermentation threatened an approaching revolt; but thee foresight of the English Minister was too tartly ; the people, wearied to the last degree with their extreme misery, could no lolls ger support the still increasing price of objects of the first necessity, and especially ot con', which they daily saw exported from the is . land to supoort their oppressors at Malta, in the - Mediteiranean, and on the coasts of Spain. The patience of the people had been tried to tie utmost, and in a few moments Palermo. presented the spectacle of a revolted city. When Ferdinand re-appeared in the capital, the inhabitants thought to find in him a support in throwing off a foreign yoke. Thee spread themselves in crowds throughout al: the streets ot the capital, causing the cry of death against their oppressors to be every where heard. The English, insulted and pursued, were obliged to seek an asylnm in their barracks. Lord Bentinek put himself at the head of his troops and artillery, and marelied against the people.

'I he Cite of Sicily is that which awaits all nations who have the misfortune to tiod themselves nailer their iron yoke.
