Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1860-07-28 00:00:00

sequent evacuation, by the Neapoil.tan troops, of
the city of Messina, is confirmed; but, according
to a Marseilles despatch of this date, General
Clary has concentrated his troops in the Citadel,
Clare to await the result of the attempt which

is being made by Francis H. to induce England
and France to arrest Garibaldi in his victorious

career ; just as the late King, acted in 1848, when
he induced Lord `Tinto to persnade the Sicilians
that all their demands would be complied with.

When Garibaldi left Palermo on the 18th he
embarked en. hoard a Liverpool steamer, the City
of Aberdeen, which had on board 1,000 troops,
and set sail in the direceory of Messina. He had

previously issued the following short and charac-

teristie proclamation :
" The Italian Continent sends me her aens in
great numbers, at the call of the oppressed, 1

march with them t.l Messina.

" There, 1 earezt the brave Sici Han youth. There
we will seal for the third time the compact against
tyrants, which is to burst the last rings of our
chains, and lay the last stone of the national edi-
fice. -

" At Catalafimi and at Palermo, the sons of this
soil were; not called upon in vain by

" JOSEPH GARIBALDI."
Orsini, has resigned the seals of the Ministry of
War, in order to retain the exclusive command of
the •artillery. Sistori has succeeded him, and to
him the Dictator has delegated his full dictatorial
'powers in his absence. If the statement of one
-of the financial toy/oyes is to be believed, there
are at present 'not less than :tl,OOO foreign, and
18,000 Sicilian troops ►ander arms under the
standard of Garibaldi. The arrivals from Genoa
arid .from Leghorn are incee^ant• The navy
budget for the ordinary service of the year is
one million and a half cf francs, but twelve
millions and a half are required to meet. the
extraordinary services of the year. This gives
sonic idea of the attention which has been paid to
the creation of a fleet for Sicily. Four• or five
other large steamers, crowded with troops, fol-
lowed shortly after the City of Aberdeen, and it
is stated , that the total number of troops which
left Palermo on the 19th could not be less than
from 8,000 to 9,000.

News had • also reached that city of numerous
deserters from the Roy *
roope joining the
'Garibaldi= camp daily, among their num-
ber several officers, who positively affirm that the
Neapolitan army refuses to fight against Gari-
baldi. If this be true, it •is the best explanation
which can be giver/ of the retirement of General

that the administrative portion of his dictatorial
functions, up to the moment of the declaration of
the national vote, be placed in the hands of some
one man who has their confidence ; and the second,
that full and entire liberty of action be reserved,
to carry on the war, upon any part of the Con-
tinent of Italy not subject to the authority of the
King. It is added, that General La Masa was
the bearer of a blank commission by the Dic-
tator, which his Majesty is empowered to fill
up with any name he pleases, (subject to the
above. condition) ; and that the name which
has been tilled in, is that of M. Depreetis. It is
likewise meationed by the same writer that
Garibaldi, before setting off on his expedition,
which, it Is still believed, is to have its first
station at Naples, . and its terminus at Venice,
.signed a decree establishing a Sicilian rifle corps,

of Colonel Calreavi.
Since the return ofVictor En:manuel to Turin, he
has given an audience to the Neapolitan Envoys,
and it is said that his Majesty haa engaged to use
his influence with Garibaldi to induce him to
agree to a six month's truce with. the Govern-
ment or Naples; but in the presence of the
negotiations arising out of the mission of General
La Masi, I should be greatly disposed to doubt of
his Majesty being in earnest in exercising this
influences—even although M. Manna was autho-
rised to agree, on the part of Naples, to the
cession 9f Sicily to Sardinia.
There is no end to flying rumours from Naples.
It was even announced, I understand, at the
Bourse yesterday. afternoon, that the King had
quitted Naples, and that the city was in full
revolution. These rumours have, doubtless, an
impetus given to them by the fact of the secresy
which is enveloping the movements of Garibaldi:
by his 'known popularity among all classes of
Neapolitans, and by the confident feeling that is
entertained of his being enthusiastically welcomed
whenever he succeeds in landing in their neigh-
bourhood.
All the Paris journals are very angry with the
Morning Post on account of the line it has taken
on the Syrian question, and the Times, which has
been in favour of interference, is in extraordinary
great favour with its Parisian eontemporaries.
The Journal des Rebuts says-, howeVer, that it
is much better satisfied with the full report of
Lord Palmerston's speph, than it was with the
telegraphic summary of: it; and affects to think
that the tone of alarm and distrust of France in
which his, lordship indulged, was assumed, in
order to • strengthen his chance of getting
the House to agree to his proposals. It
observes, in conclusion, that "the effect of
his lordship's speech must be looked' At exclu-
sively from a Parliamentary point of view." The
Patrze of to-day has no patience with the hesita-
tion which has characterised the councils of Erq-
land in this matter; "At the present moment the
lives of 150,000 Maronites are put in jeopardy by
such a policy; and hereafter, perhaps at no dis-
tant period, those of 3,000,000 of the Christians of
Asia. But what signifies 'all this to people who
are bent on gratifying their miserable feelings of
jealousy, and exciting the worst passions between
two great natiens?"
I see it is announced that the acquiescence of
the Porte in the propositions of France, has, after
all, been obtained, and that the Sultan has not been
able to spare more than 6,000 men for the pur-
poses of repression. The other Powers have also,
according to the Patrie of this evening, given
their consent. England is only to send a mari-
time force; and the French expedition will receive
orders for departure forthwith. The latest news
from Beyrout is to the effict that an attack on
Damascus by the Druses of Haoura is imminent.
".These terrible mountaineers continue to manifest
most hostile feelings towards the Christians."
The steamer Donaverth, bearing the flag of
Rear-Admiral Jehenne, and the Alexandre, both
from Naples, anchored in the roads of Beyrout
on the 15th. These last accounts also confirm
the 'statements accusing the Turkish troops, men
and officers, of complicity in the massacres, some
of the latter keeping out of the way to escape
responsibility, but secretly connivers at the out-
rages.
Some particulars reach us here of the meeting at
Tcepliz. It seems to be an interview between two
Cabinets, as well as one between two Sovereigns.
It is very confidently reported that the meeting
has been preceded by a treaty between Prussia
and Austria, and that the object of the two Sove-
reigns coming together is to regulate the details
of this convention ; but it seems more likely that a
treaty will be the result of the meeting, which is
described as being of the most cordial character.
An interesting, experiment was made this
morning by the Pontoniers of the Imperial
Guard of crossing the Seine near the Sevres
Bridge, by a bridge constructed of boats made of
Caoutchouc. It was quite successful, and is to be
repeated to-morrow morning.
I see by a paragraph in the Moniteor Indos-
triel, with reference to the recent increase of the
spirit duty in England, that it is understood in
France that the increase will apoly- lo French as
well as to British spirits, the English Govern-
ment having reserved power by the treaty, to
modify its provisions in conformity with any
increase of its own excise duties.
Among other arrivals announced in Paris yes-
terday is that of 'a detachment of Savoyard
riflemen. The men composing the detachment
are to be incorporated with the Paris Guard.
They have been sent to the barracks of the
Celcstins, to await their distribution among the
other barracks of the corps. One may expect to
hear of a good many more such additions to the
garrison of Paris.
There has been considerable hesitation among
speculators on the Bourse to-day, and all kinds of
stocks and shares are heavy and inactive.
