SIC'ILF. • • A public atteiltion; is direaed at preset ; wards the critical situation of Sicily, and it is under . sto6d,to be a2greae object with INlinistry, to sat from ,th'e. all-grasping power of France, - a el ',tort sketch of the history of this island may be acil opt able to our Readers : . Sicily is the largest Island in the Medittrrai! ean, and its circumference is estimated at six hurt dyed Its triangular form bestowed its am ieti't name of Trinacria, or Triquetra. Fable and Pi ,etry have placed the Cyclops and Gigantic Liesirguones •in the vicinity 'of Mount iEtna. The Sicari, Who gave their name to the Island, are soine.times 'deemed the Abbrigines of that Country, and s oMe times said to have been natives of Spain. The Sicati, who were the ancient inhabitants of Alt on ia , migrated to SiCania, which,- from their ascend ency, was. called Sicila. ' Colonies from Greece wee - e af terwards_settled in Various parts of the Island, -which NV AS sha ted among several independent GLivern 7 ments. The Athenians were not insenslble 'co the value of Sicily. „ A. formidable armament under NicOseattempted the reduCtion Of. Syracuse.; but the power of Athens was successfully resisted by the spirit of the inhabitants.' Sicily has been at all tittles remarkably fertile ;' but the rera of its greatest prosperity was from the siege of Syracuse by the Athenians to the Carthagenian Conqt - tests.— , it continually supplied Rome and Carthage with • grain ; and, in years of scarcity, all the Countries , upon the Mediterranean, except Egypt and the C.)astS of Asia. ' The Cart nagenians were anxious for its con quest, • and established themselves in the Western Division of the Island ; but .the project which they invariably pursued, of enslaving Sicily, was never -accomplished: :The independence- of Sicily. was never entirely lost till the First Punic War, When the infltaenee of Rome extended over the Island; • • The Conquest of Syracuse, by Marcelius, in the 'Second Punic War, completely subjeCted Sicily to • tie Roman power. This Island continued a Roman Province till the fifth century of the Christian kira, 'ben the Western Empire was, ravaged by Gen seric, King of the Vandals, who achieved the con quest of Sicily. In 493 the Vandals surrendered the Island . tb . Theodoric, King of the Ostrogoths, who reigned by the -right of conquest from the Alp's to' . The extremity of Calabria. In 53_5 Sicily wits united to the Enwire of Justinian by the.arms of Belisarius. At that period, 'notwithstanding the decay of agricniture, Sicily still supplied the granaries Of Rome. When the dominion of that Island was wrested from the Eastern EMpire, in the ninth cen.; tury, by'the Saracens of Africa, the Emirs of Sicily aspired to independence. The close of the eleventh Century is distinguished by the deliverance of Sicily from the Saracens by the gallant. Norman, Roger Guiscard, who obtained the sovereignty of the Island-, with the title of Great aunt, while his brother Robert reigned in Apulia and -Calabria. The His , • -torianirelates on this occasion, that the Catholic Hero asserted his rights against the pretensions of the Roman Pontiff, and refused to resign the In vestiture of Benefices. The supremacy of the Crown was secured and enlarged by the singular Bull which declares the Princes of Sicily hereditary and perpetual Legates of the Holy See. By the arms of this en terprising Prince, the power of the. Saracens was re duced in Africa, and Tunis rendered tributary. • In the twelfth century, The son and successor of the Great Count ,became the first King of Sicily, and united Apulia and Calabria in his patrimony. After the death of Tancred, the grand son of the first King, the Kingdom of Sicily was united to the Ger 7 Man Empire for a short time by the arms of the Emperor Henry 6th, in 1194. But in the middle of the thirteenth century, the last Sovereign of . German extraction was deprived of his Crown and life at the battle of Benevento. By this event the French became 'masters •of S.cily and Naples, and the Crown s of the Two Sicilies was warn by -CharlesCount of Anjou, the brother of St.'Louis.— , The tyredie , ie2l chid; el..pressive - Gor. ern ment Charles -soon provoked the aversion and'eXcited the revolt of ihe Sicilians. The universal hatred of the French .name was exasperated by the haughtiness of the :ferocious Monarch, and he licentiousness- of his followers. The public detestation at length burst, 'forth- in ,a signal and dreadful explosion. (Jn-. the Vigil of Easter (March 30, 12.82), the fury of the .people of Palermo'was roused by an act of outrage and insult, The flame spread over theitsland e and 8000 French were exterminated in apromiscnous massacre, which has -obtained the name -of the Sicilian Vespers." An eloquent historian observes, that the French,were long taught to remember- this bloody lesson "Ifl am provoked Zsaid Henry the Fourth) I will breakfast at 14iilan, and dine at Na pled !" " You; Majesty (replied the Spanish Am bassador') may perhaps arrive in Sicily for Vespers !" The recollection of the oppressions to which the Sicilians were subjected in the re;gn of Charles, is still preserved. in the general hatred of the French name. By the, rebellion of the people, on Whom a tyrant had long trarripled with impunity, the - French loSt the Island of Sicily,, which, after a war of-20 yearS, • - was finally severed 'from the throne of Naples, and ':ttansferred as an independent kingdom to a. younger branch of the House of ,Arragon. • During the . reigns of Frederick and Peter, Sicily was engaged; t)c . 50 years in almost perpetual wars with the • Family of Anjou. At the 'death of Peter, in 1342, • Sitily was ravaged by opposite• fat - tions dUring the minority of Lewis,' who' was Succeeded in 1356 by his brother Frederick. Frederick married the daugh ' ter of the King of Arragon, in 1360, and dying in 1377, bequeathed his kingdom to his only daqg'ilter Mary. The Crown of theily was worn by Mary 'and her husbntid Martin, the son of Duke Martin, -- the brother and successor of John, King of Arragon. At the death of Martin, King of Sicily, in 1409, he was succeeded by his father, Martin, King of Ar ragen.. Ferdinand, his son and successor, died 14 1 6; when his eldest son 'Alphonstis was'protdairn e4 King of icily and Arragon. In 144,2 Alphonsus eireCled the conquest of Naples, which had continued subjea to the House of •Anjou, and thus united the tWo khrgdoms. LON DO N': Printed by ,1:1( At the.

'.ln 1554 Charles assigned his detninions to' his son Philip; the'lasband of Mary Queen. of:Eng . - land. From this perirgl the. Crown of Sicily was worn by the Kings of Spain, till the death of Charles 11. whose spoils became an obj,& of contemion.— At the Peace of Utrecht Sicily was, ceded by Philip V. of Spain. to Vi&or _Ai-had:ens, Duke of Savoy; j. who, in 1713, was croWned .at Palertim " King of Sicily." `, , But - in 1 . 7 fp tlw' . .new Sovereign was.disturbed in the posiiOn Of Sicily by the attempts of Philip to recover. the Island. ri:he'..projet'ts 'of the King of Spain welt frustrated 'by .the'forces of England and Germany and the naval superie!ity. of., Britain was conspicuously displayed in a memorable: 'defeat of the Spanish Fleet. In the folloWing year, the Duke of Savoy was compelled by' the .Emperor Charles VI. 'to relinquish this Island, and receive Sardinia as an equivalent. After various attempts by.the Spa.. niards to recover, Sicily from the House of Anstna,. the design was resumed with success in 1734, and, Don Carlos was crowned at Palermo '' King of the Two Sicilies !" When lie suceeeded to the Cro‘,Vn 'of Spain, he transferred to his son . Ferdinand the Sicilian Diadem, which has since continued in the possession of that family, but not ennexed to the' Spanish Monarchy. • , • • • • The brave inhabitants of Sicily Nave thus been en, gaged in many successful struggles for freedoth ran& - independence- From their antient history we learn, that they maintained their -liberty till, they were, forced to yield - to the irrFsistible weight of the Ra e ' Man PoWer. When Sicily was separated' from the Empire of home, it continued an, independent king dom, with little interruption, till the 15th centuty. In modern times, though Sicily has become united with Naples, the circumstance of its history, and the name which is imposed on the united kingdom, will justify its claim of being always the paramount State. The desire arid the pretensions of France to incorporate Sicily with the usurped kingdom of Naples, will excite the strongest indignatiba, and provoke the most desperate struggle. The. French name has long been an object of aversion to the Sicilians, and they must be regarded by Franco with distrust and jealousy. The . resistance which they are enabled to oppose to the - effOrts of the enemy, and the powerful aid which they receive from 'Great;Biitaiti, will inflame the hatred of the French, who; in the event of conquest, might be swayed by the influence 6f revenge. In• the impending contest the courage of the Sicilians must be animated by the strongest motives—their attachment to their Sovereign, the love of their Country, their independence, their liberty and their dread of the vengeance of the enemy. They may justly exclaim, with their forefathers, who deprecated the return of Marcellus, to' whom Sicily had been allotted in his Fourth Consulate, "Vbrui .2Etna lg nibus wit mergi Freto, satius Insulce esse pain velut dedi posae ininzico." But While the resources of the arms of Britain are employed in the defence of Sicily, while a Bri tish "Fleet, commanded by an enterprising leader, menaces the shores of Italy, the threats and pre parations of the enemy will meet a bold defiance. — . The Ustirper, 'foiled in his attempts, and distrustful of his subjeas, will be compelled to relinquish -his projeEts of ,attack, and: dri.ven to consult safety. The faith and justice due to , an ally •will ensure the •i prote&ion and aid of Britain to the Sicilian Mo--. narch e The expediency Of maintaining the, inde pendence of Sicily, and of securing it from the grasp of the enemy is obyidus, and highly important in a commercial and Military view. As a conye . nient Entrepot for the trade of England with -Italy, with the Levant, and other markets of the Mediter ranean, Sicily can 'levet' be-o'erlooked by a commer -1 cial nation. _ _ The great fertility-of the soil, which is capable of almost incredible increase, will supply the wants of Malta, which would 'otherwise be burdensome though still a necessary s possession. Without the assistance of Sicily, Xliiita toust be immediately supplied by this Country with every necessary for its support That Island might derive occasional aid from the coast of Barbary ; but could neyer rely on that source for the permanent means of subsist ence. The command of the Italian market, - the la cilitation of commercial intercourse in :the Mediter ranean, will be ensured to the British merchant by the independence of Sicily, and its alliance with this country. • Under present circumstances, the dependence of . 'that island on France would almost totally exclude. us from the trade of the South of Europe. As a mir •• litary station, Sicily is equally important. From ' that post the enemy may be awed and kept in check, or advantaeously attacked in Italy. The move- Ments of the enemy may be closely watched, and any future attempt ott Egypt readily dis Covered and promptly repelled. It will afford shelter and sup . - - „plies to .our - Fleets in the Mediterranean ; and will fUrniSh necessaries and ,refreshments after a voyage' to troops returning from an Expedition, or destined to engage in some enterprize. By ,Sicily, in times of hostility, we shall obtain fa- : 'cilities for coudnaing military operations, and for annoying the enemy. In times of war and peace our commerce will be etTeElually scented, By pre venting the dependence of this Island, on France, we shall also depriveAhe enemy of advantages which might peibaps be employed with still greater success against ourselves. - , - In every view WO are impressed with a conviaion of the necessity and expediency of maintaining the independence of Sicily, and of continuing in firm alliance *with that cquntry. , The confidence which: Ferdinand haS reposed in the justice, the honour, and the power of his Ally, will not ha deceived Or disappointed.. Th 4 British Throne will exhibit a bright example of generosity and good faith; and the 'magnanimity .of the Sovereign will be seconded by the policy of the Government,. and the wishes of the people. . • . • • _ _ HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MOR ROW. ; Morning, 52 min. after z.

Allies on. - the. most, important point. Tho Cenxre of .the was nearly , insulated - upon all points, by the *dis 7 tance at which the different columns were mutually placed. . . The Emperor of Russia, 'with the General. la Chief, arrived at the head, of ithe 4th column at the moment when it was to itc.l - ance. For the purpose of . giving time to the columns of, the reft to '.ad vance, General Who commanded that 4th column, received, orders not to put himself' in motion till about s o'clock: The combat near Tellnitz was already begun, and the left on its march, when the centre was formed and broke up by platoons. by the left. The Russian infantry, commanded by General MmoßADowicn, was at the head of the column. TWo of .his battalions, and some Austrian dragoons of the regiment of the Archduke JOIOT, formed the advanced guard of the column, aid marched at a little distance before it. It was- about nine o'clock - when : the ad column quitted the height of Pratzen to march according to the plan .against SokOlnitz ; the 4th arrived upon the ground which had keen occupied by Ge-. neral PR - IBISCHENA'SKY during the night, when it all at once perceived a large mass of French infan try in the bottom in front of Pratzen. When these columns of the enemy were perceived, the - y put themselves in motinn, at the moment when the- Russian advanced guard approached the village:— The French columns on the right consisted of VANDAM3.IE'S division, and those on the left of St. However, the advanced guard. of the 4th column hastily occupied the -village of Prat zen, and reached' a little bridge,beyond it, before the enemy's sharp-shooters : it then passed the bridge, and placed one of its battalions on a height jti front of the village, where the tear of the ad co lumn still was ;' the 2d battalion of the advanced guard occupied the village itself. General KUTUSOF, surprised by this movement of the Energy, believing that he was to attack, and seeing himself attacked in the midst of his combi 7 nations and his movements, perceived all the portance of maintaining the heights of Pratzen, towards which - ihe French were marching. These, heights were commanding, and alone could secure the rear of the ad column, .which was always ad vancing,' and imprudently - exposing itself, forgetful of the - Enemy, li;;;;;Thg - only: to the :original ;den. The height ,of Pratzen decided. the battle ; it 'had been. the key of the position which the Allied Al-my had - just quitted, and by the perplexed situa tion of the different columns, their fate depetided . upon him who was master of that height. When .the General in Chief, who WAS at the head of. that O4lumn, wfas inforthed .by his advanced guard that: the `Enemy .was so near him, he gave orders to face them, and to occupy the height ; at the same time, the Prince of LI,cIITEN3TEIN sent to him. four Russian regiments from the column of cavalry' under. his command. The French dire6ted„with great calmness, the two masses of infantry, which advanced at a slo-,xe pace. A third column of 'the Enemy, belonging to _the division of Marshal 'BER- . NADOTTE, then appeared upon the. right of Pratt zen, and threatened to pass ,through the interval between the 4th column and the cavalry . of Prince JOHN. The. Russian infantry of the 4th column. immediately marched upon the right of Pratzen, and sent are inforcement to the battalions of the ad vanced guard, who - mere already, upon the height which they were to maintain ; but' this advanced guard, being attaeked by superior force; abandoned it after a very short resistance. 'The bathe then became lively. was ,wished to regain the ground that the advanced guard: had lost. The RuSsians attacked, but fired at too - great a distance . ; and witbddt much effe&. The French incessantly advanced, without returning this fire but, at the distance of about a hundred paces they opened a fire of Muscrietry,_ which then became general, and extremely destructive.
