LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY.
GENOA, WEDNUNDAY.
General Leticia, who was the bearer of orders to
General Luna not to treat with Garibaldi, but
rather to destroy the town, left again for Naples on
Sunday. It is believed his mission is to make re-
presentations caused by numerous desertions, and
on the refusal of the troops to fight.

MESSINA, Jun 2.
We are expecting every moment news of the
fall of Palermo. Yesterday a royal steamer came
in from Catania, bringing the. remnant of the
garrison of that place, whence we conclude that all
was up with the Royalists there. Heri-70"Ts
perfectly quiet, but commerce is not thought of.
Exchange, 60.

The " Latest News " of the Patric is as follows :
" Despatches received to-day in Paris state that
there is nothing new in Palermo. The capitula-
tion was not yet signed, and both parties, conform-
ably to the armistice, maintained their respective
positions. Garibaldi, whose head-quarters were at
the Senatorio Palace, had formed hie ministry, ap-
pointed a governor of the town and province,
ordered an extraordinary levy, and decreed various
measures with a view to carry on the war. To
protect the inhabitants of Palermo, he had issued
a very strongly-worded proclamation declaring that
he would punish without mercy all murders and
robberies under whatever pretext they might be
committed. On the receipt of the news of the in-
surrection of Girgenti, Garibaldi at once sent an
extraordinary commissioner to take the direction of
the movement."

It was on the 90th of May that General Letiz'a,
delegated by General Lanza, met Garibaldi on
board the Hannibal, English man-of-war, and
declared that he was charged to demand an
armistice. The conditions which he proposed
were :

L The retention of their respective positions by
both parties.
2. Liberty to attend to the wounded, and to
remove them on board the fleet.
3. Permission to supply provisions to the hospi-
tal for the poor.
t That the municipality should address to the
Royal Commissioner a petition for the
concession of such reforms and institutions
as might be necessary for the country.

The first points were consented to by Garibaldi
without difficulty ; but he peremptorily rejected
the fourth, and the conference was broken off.

NAPLES, Terre 1.
During the whole of yesterday there was great
movement in the arsenal and great agitation
amongst the people. Several steamers and sailing
vessels left for Palermo with provisions and am-
munition, and the Saetia and Elettrico came in ;
the former brought up General Leticia, who had
been present at the conference with Garibaldi on
board the Hannibal. He was with the King
during a great part of the morning. The Elettrico
brought up, it is said, 400 wounded men ; there
were certainly a great number, and they were
taken off to their friends or the hospitals in an
unusually ostentatious way. The government
has been at its old tricks to-day, fabri-
cating an advantage, raising the Five
per Cents. 1. We are looking out, therefore,
for some great victory obtained by Gari-
baldi. The Beenes which were witnessed yesterday
and this morning in front of the arsenal and the
marine barracks—men, women, and children were
crowded around them to watch the sufferers as they
were carried off in carriages or in litters, and tears
flowed in abundance—such scenes will produce

their results, and though there may be no organised
outbreak, passion and indignation may lead to the
same consequences.

Orders for sending off fresh artillery and ammu-
nition to Palermo were countermanded yesterday,
and a great number of sailing vessels were char-
tered and sent off during the night—it is supposed
to take off the wounded and the troops.
By the French steamer which has just come in,
I have received intelligence up to June 1, inclusive.
The armistice had been prolonged till mid-day
of the 3rd, at the earnest request of the Neapoli-
tans. Very great damage has been done to the
town, and the loss of property in the Camaro is
" something awful," so that it is expected that all
the shops in this principal street will fail. Gari-
baldi had got hold of fifty barrels of saltpetre, in
some warehouse, which was a godsend. It was
said on board of one of the steamers, on the 31st,
at Palermo, that Messina had been bombarded,
but no direct intelligence bad been received. It
was thought that the Neapolitans bad had enough
of fighting; nevertheless, if Letixia returned empty
handed, it was conjectured that there would be
more fighting, and of a much fiercer description.
Nothing had transpired at Palermo as to what took
place on board the Hannibal during the conference,
but the public say that Letizia's pretensions were
so preposterous that nothing could be listened to.
A great number of the wounded soldiers were sent
off on May 31 in sailing vessels towed by steamers.
There is no lack of fighting Sicilians, and this the
troops are well aware of, and it was believed that
the royalists would be well pleased to have done
with it.

General Leticia left last night with sealed
orders. I believe that the diplomatic con-
ference which mot on Wednesday evening
was at the request of the Neapolitan go-
vernment. Advice and assistance were requested,
and the answer returned was, " No instructions !"
My own opinion is that the Neapolitan govern-
ment, both here and at Palermo, has one only
object in view, which is to gain time and await the
chapter of accidents. It is au old policy, well un-
derstood here ; let us only hope that England and
Prance will hold together, and foreign intrigues
will be of no avail. Ignoring the thousand reports
which are afloat, I may mention as au important
fact that the clergy of Palermo blessed the barri-
cades, and that many of them are lighting together
with the insurgents.

ROME

ROME, Juii 7.

The Baron Constantin Bardini has been ap-
pointed Minister of Commerce and Public Works,
in place of Monsignor Amici, who remains in the
cabinet without a portfolio.

PRUSSIA.

The Nord of to-day states that after his return
from the eastern provinces the Prince Regent will
proceed to the Rhenish frontiers. It is affirmed
that his Royal Highness will have an interview
there with the Emperor Napoleon.
The Doak& Gazette, in its account of the fetes
given to the Prince Regent of Prussia in that city,
publishes the following as the text of the speech of
his Royal Highness to the burgomaster at the close
of the banquet given by the city :

I thank you for the wishes you have expressed towards
the Bing, and also for the promise which you have given to
me to support the government with all your strength, so
long as it shall be in my hands. I accept that promise, and
also that in which you say, that your sons, if ever the day
should come for displaying the black and white banner, shall
rally round it. I know that on the appeal of the Bing or on my
own, they will come to defend with their property and their
blood the country and our throne. But I hope that Heaven
will preserve us from the necessity of making an appeal. I
hope that peace will be maintained, and that all the enter-
prises of peace will prosper and flourish. In consequence of
the sentimenta entertained by the town, and in the hope to
see accomplished your oath to support my government in
peace, and firmly to defend our flag in war, I propose a toast
to the town of Dantsic. May it always be happy ! Long
live the town of Dentate! Hurrah for the province!
Hurrah for the country!

THE ANNEXATION OF SAVOY AND NICE.
GENEVA, Jusx 7.
