THE REVOLUTION IN SICILY.

The inditiendance Beige of last evening says :
" Accounts from Palermo of the 10th lead us to
suppose that Garibaldi is about to transfer the
theatre of war to the mainland of the kingdom.
All his measures are directed to the obtaining of
volunteers for this purpoise,whilst leaving Palermo,
strongly armed, wider the protection of the Sici-
lians. The levee en masse was to be completed by
the 18th of the month. On the 20th the recruits
are to march towards Palermo and Catania. The
reasons given for the decrees which order these mea-
sures, are founded upon the necessity of vigorously
prosecuting the war in favour of Italian unity. In
addition, the provisional government has ordered
requisitions of horses and military materiel, casting
of cannon, and pikes for the people of Palermo, and
are keeping up the barricades of the city in case of
the reappearance of the Neapolitan troops. The
results of these measures will soon be apparent."
The Archbishop of Palermo has paid a visit to
General Garibaldi

"The last intelligence from Palermo," says Ga-
lignani, "states that the Neapolitan troops have
entirely evacuated the place, after having disarmed
the citadel, spiked the guns, thrown the ammuni-
tion into the sea, and done as much injury as pos-
sible to whatever stores and material they could not
take with them. Companies of sailors are to be
formed and sent to the porta now in possession of
the insurgents, to assist in the disembarkation and
embarkation of troops operations which are diffi-

cult even for governments engaged in regular war-
fare, and which are necessarily still more so for the
volunteers of Garibaldi, who have to act clandes-
tinely, and to escape the Neapolitan cruisers, which
every day become more numerous and active."

NAPLES. Joss 13.

An official person, who visited Garibaldi on the
evening following the capitulation, says that he
started no objection to the continuation of the
armistice, considering it rather as an advantage,
as many of the troops were deserting to him in
spite of their being closely confined to quarters.
The general, who is never elated, seemed satisfied
that the troops were leaving, and announced it to
be his intention, as soon as he had organised 50,000
men, to cross into the Calabria' and Abruzzi, leaving
Messina behind him if likely to give him much
trouble. He supposed that in such an event
the Neapolitans would rise, though he has no con-
fidence in them. On one thing Garibaldi seemed
resolved, which was to admit of no other battle-
cry than that of " Victor Emmanuel, and Italian
unity." All propositions for a constitution have
been, therefore, and will be rejected. Many of
the Neapolitan soldiers on leaving Palermo
are to be landed in the Calabria'', to which
Garibaldi expressed no objection, as he is con-
fident that the stories they will tell will demo-
rales' e their companions. Indeed, what fact could
bq more demoralising than the flight, we may
almost say, of 18,000 men in the presence of 1,000
good soldiers and 7,000 or 8,000 armed rabble, not
to use the word offensively. Garibaldi was occupied
at the time of my informant's visit in the work of
organisation and of ordering the construction of
the barricades. He deplored the loss of many of
his best officers and men.' -

Official news from Messina says that the emigre.;
tiou still continues by sea and land, though the
chances of a bombardment became daily less and
less probable. Orders have been given to the
&quadri not to march upon Messina, as Garibaldi
intends to go through the Calabria& and so on to
Naples. Revolutionary movements have broken
' out in the Monteleone, Catasaro, and Cosenza, and
troops were despatched to Pizzo last Saturday
and Sunday, in two steamers, to the
number of 1,000. It was said, however, that
they had declared they would no more fight against
their brothers, and sonic of the officers said to my
informant that they regarded the King as lust, and
that the sooner this fratricidal war was finished
the better. There was a French, British, and
Austrian steamer at Mesaina. The troops from
Catania arrived in Messina in • miserable condi-
tion. The government of Catania was conducted
in the name of Victor Emmanuel.

The Courtier de Paris publishes the following :
It is very certain that the expedition commanded by
Nadia, Cosentx, and Melanchini, organised by the Italian
National Society, was composed of six steamers and ascend
transports, laden with sans, ammunition, tents, ke. Of
Wee vessels, the three largest, the Washington, Franklin,
and Oregon, were armed with rifled la•pounders, sad ear
Tied volunteers, each provided with a musket, a rifle, sad a
good store of nu-fridges. The number of men who wanted
to go was so considerable at the last momia that they
were heaped one on Ike other in the vessels. Among
