With much difficulty he procured a guide, and proceeded - to Mr. Bingham's, a distance of twenty milts through the moun tains. In the mean time, after thirty—six hours concealment of this vtry in bnchnly circumstance, Capt.

BENTINCK'S return to this country was involved when he first reached this Metropolis, remains unre vealed, although his Lordship has now embarked to resume his former station at Palermo. It is he lievei, however, that having perceived the neces sity of our taking military possession of Sicily, in order io prevent its falling into the hands of the enemy, Lord WILLIAM came home to urge more forcibly the adopting of this measure, and that he is now sent back invested with full powers to that effect. We find, that at his departure the foil( 'wing General Orders were issued by Lieutenant-General MAITLAND :--- " Messina, Sept. 4, 1811. " On Monday night arrived in this city his Excellency Gene• ral MAITLAND, from Paltrmo,where Ire has been to hold aeon. ference with his Excellency Lord Wm. BENTINCX. lie hu issued the following 6 GENERAL ORDERS. Head-quarters, Messina, Sept. 3, 1811. Lieut.-Gen. MAITLAND informs the army, that the Com mander of the forces has already sailed for England—that his• Lordship has undertaken this voyage from the most urgent poli tical motives, which highly interest the honour of Great Britain and the prosperity of Sicily. In the absence of the Chief of this army, Lieut.-General Ma ITLAND finds himself more than ever obliged to be assiduous in cultivating the good will and opinion of his brother Officers, and requests from the soldiers the most solicitous attentions to the fulfilment of their duties. Flo trusts that he will receive throughout the district the experienced assistance of the Gene ral Officers, and that the entire army shall be united, and ready for every accident that the vicissitude of events may produce. ' J. CAMPBELL, .Atljt.- Gen.' " The four persons, named ORAZIO BALLANTINIO, ANTONIO BARESE, VINCENZ,O SMIRIDA, and GIovANNi GRILLO , w ho have been imprisoned for holding correspondence with the enemy in Calabria, have beets set at liberty, by order of General MA tTLAND, on his return from Palermo. These persons have been liberated, not because there wanted sufficient proof against them, but because the General would not condemn to death, immediately after having assumed the command of the British Army, four men who were arrested by his predecessor, whose departure prevented the pending sentence." He avails himself of this oc, asion to exercise an act of de rlency trhick will not he renewed at any other time. He is resolved to use his utmost means to put an end to the system of espionage and of treadle. y, which has been for so long a time, and in a manner so notoriously, practised by persons of evil intentions and equal enemies of the Sicilian people, and the British. He is resolved, in consequence, to watch, attentively, persons of this description, and is determined from this time forward to ha ing before a Council of War, whoever they may be, all those who :hall be thus found holding communication with the em my, and thus placing in danger the British Army and this island, and immediately the sentence of that Council shall he executed." This .filei,ll communication produced a sensible effect upon the army and the inhabitants. The as sociati. n of the interests of the Sicilian people with the se, linty of the British army was highly grati fyii.g to great mass of the population of Sicily, as may Le collected from the following extract of a private letter from that Island, which was saved troni the wreck of the Pomone frigate, together with the Gazette quoted above : " Messina, Sept. 12, 1811. We are perfectly ignorant of the causes which led to our Mi. ister's sudden departure on the publication of the General Orders of the Ai inst. Before they were given out in so public a manner, they were privately circulated It is evident that the politics of this Istand are coming to a crisis, and very soon one party or the ether must prepare f. .r a serious change of situa tion. As far as we can judge from report, Lord Bgwristeg's departure arjses from a negative having been returned to every proposition he was instructed to make. The generality of the Sicilians are in very high spirits ou recognising the manner is which they are mentioned." • ••• K • THE NATIONAL REGISTFP • • IMMINVMIO.4.I OO all parts of the country.
