THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY,

lived like a Nano and died like a 1111011, was re-
leased by a grateful Port Eros his oat, hat it
is certain that he was never released b 1 his
people ; and, though dead men do not billeAere
are living victims of that oath in the rani, of
GARIRLLDI, and even in the Italian Parlismasat at
Turin. Is it possible that this crouching Bon asow
tiger, with the true feline instinct of a faithless
and ferocious race, believes that he can smile his
father's treacherous smile upon a trustful people
in 1860 as in 1848 f Or does he imagine that the
bombardment of Palermo min efface the memory of
the bombardment of Messina I At all events,

whether M. Mamrixo comes to England or not,
our Government is determined that the British
nation shall know what manner of man is the
Sovereign who solicits, or was about to solicit,
British succour and sympathy. In the papers
relating to the affairs of Sicily presented to
both Houses of Parliament by command of her
MATE-wry last night, there is an extract of &despatch
from Admiral MUNDY, at Palermo, to the fisces-
TARY to the ADMIZALTY, which speaks volumes foe
the mission of the Commendatore MARTINO if it
does not account for that Envoy Extraordinary's
conspicuous absence from London at this critical
moment. The despatch is dated " Hannibal, Pa-
" lermo, June 3, 1860." With • terrible brevity
and simplicity, repressing but not concealing the
generous indignation of a brave and gallant
English seaman, Admiral MUNDY tells us how •
paternal monarch bids farewell to the fairest of
his cities From various sources I derive the
" following account of the destruction of life and
" property by the bombardment of the city. The
" scene is reported as most horrible. A whole
" district, 1,000 yards (English) in length by 100
" wide, is in ashes; families have been burnt alive
" with the buildings ; whilst the atrocities of the
" royal troops• have been frightful. In other
" parts, convents, churches, and isolated edifices
" have been crushed by the shells, 1,100 of
" which were thrown into the city from the cite-
" del, and about 200 from the ships of war, be-
" sides grape, canister, and round shot.
" The conduct of 01410•01 GAZILLDI, both during
" tin hostilities amid slue their suspension, has been
" nobkund generous."
This frank and hearty testimony from the
brave to the brave will, we are persuaded, be re-
ceived throughout Italy as a pledge of the disin-
terested sympathy of England for • suffering na-
tion and a righteous cause. No doubt the
cowering bigot at Gaeta, in the prayers which he
lifts up to all his saints for intercession, implores
them to look down with favour on the smoke of
that awful sacrifice—eleven hundred shelhe—and
for his sainted father's sake, to grant a plenary
indulgence to the latest filial perjuries he has em-
powered an Envoy Extraordinary to promise to
the Powers of Europe in his name.
