THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY.

The following intelligence has been telegraphed
from Paris during the night by the Paris corres-
pondent of the Post :-" The presence of Gari-
baldi in Sicily is not yet officially confirmed, but
is considered nearly certain. His partisans, at
the date of .the last despatches, were moving on
Palermo, the head-quarters of the Neapolitan
forces. No engagement has hitherto taken place
between the two. On the Continent nothing of
importance has taken place. The French corps
de armee at jtorne, which was to have returned-
shortly, has received provisional counter orders."•-

I The Times says, the private letters from Paler-
mo reach to the 11th instant. At that date every
one was in doubt regarding the prOipects of insur-!
reetion, but an opinion prevailed that if 3,000 or
4,000 trained men could effect a landing the
Go4ernment troopsiwoulol be worsted; otherwise,
jt was feared the people would ultimately be com-
pelled to give in.' The troops and, police hadjust
fired on the.inhabitants, although the latter were
unarmed.

GENOA, May 18.

News from Messina, to the 14th instant, states
that the commander of .the Piedmontese frigate,
Govern°lo, had landed there, and was received
with applause. Marshal Riviera had demanded
reinforcements of Marshal Rosso, who, being
unable to diminish the garrison of Messina, had
refused.

TURIN, May 1.8.

The official Piedmontese Gazette publishes an
article refuting the accusation of ministerial con-
nivance in the affair of Garibaldi. The article
says the government has disapproved of the
expedition, and attempted to prevent its depar-
ture by such means as prudence and the laws
would permit. The Sardinian ships of war had
orders to prevent a landing, but could do no more
than the Neapolitan• vessels, which were cruising
in the Sicilian waters. Europe knows that the
government of the king does not hide its solici-
tude for the common country ; but at the same
time it understands and respects the principle of
international laws, and believes its duty to be to
make that principle respected in the state for the
safety of which it is responsible.
