THE SICILIAN REVOLUTION.

The following are further extracts from the
letters of the Times' special correspondent in
Palermo,:--

PANICS AND EXCITEMENT.
Any one in search of violent emotions cannot do
better than set off at once for Palermo. However blasé
he may be, or however milk-and-water his blood, I
promise be stirred up. He will be carried away
by the tide of popular feeling. or else the impetuosity
uuu variation of this *'rent will produce in him a
reaction such as tie rarely felt.
The popular proverb has it that no day resembles its
predecessor; here almost every hour changes the state
of affairs, and with the state of affairs the feelings of
200,000 people change from one extreme to another
almost without the slightest transition. One moment
all is triumph and hope, and the next all is terror and
dejection. One instant the town resounds with cheers,
the next you see numbers prostrated before the shrines
Madonnas and saints which are to be found in almost
every corner. Now and then, between the two fits,
there is a short lull—a kind of exhaustion—which is
soon, followed by another attack of hope or fear.
Themponstant alarms are the most faithful exponents
of this state of the public mind. Now Bavarians, as
the foreign mercendries are called, have transgressed
their line, and are threatening an advance ; now popular
terror sees cavalry horses, like nightmares, jumping
over the barricades, or the troops at the Royal Palace
are moving ; and while the popular voice rolls along
this news by one street, in the other an opposite stream
comes in, announcing with cheera,that whole battalions
of the enemy have come over, that they have abandoned

THE CONVENTS FORCED.

On another side of the town the soldiers tried to
break into a convent of nuns,taud all the authority and
the 'numerous messages from Lanza were scarcely suf-
ficient to stop them. Again, on. another side, they
carried off the inmates of the convent of the Oblati, a
kind of female 'orphan asylum. The Imothers of the
girls came up crying. , The thing was not denied, but it
was explained that the nuns had gone over of their own
free will. Not a moment passes without one or another
person coming in wiai a complaint against the excesses
of the soldiers.

PREPARATIONS FOR A RENEWED FIGHT.

It was five p.m. before the conference was over.
Returned to the town, every nerve was strained to put
it in a state of defence. The four Commissioners who
had been named for the four quarters of the town set
to work%to strengthen the barricades already existing
and to co4struct new ones ; the people were stirred up
and made attire of their position, which left no choice
hut to fight- or to 'perish, and in this dilemma they
certainly displayed more activity and energy than I
had expected, "viegts, and children Xii
