PROCLAMATION AND ARMISTICE.

Sicilians,—The enemy has proposed to us an armistice,
which in a generous war like the one we are waging, I have
deemed it wiper...lent not to refuse. The interment of the dead,
the care of the wounded—in a word, everything that is re-
quired by the laws of humanity, has always honoured the
valour of the Italian soldier. besides, the wounded Neapo-
litans are also our brethren, although they act with cruel
hostility, and are plunged now in the darkness of political
error ; but it will not be long before the lustre of the
national lag will induce them to swell the ranks of the
Italian army ; and in order that the terms of the stipulated
convention may be maintained with the scrupulous loyalty
beseeming us, we publish as follows i
Articles of Convention between the undersigned, at
Palermo, May 31, 1860 :
1. The suspension of hostilities will be prolonged for three
days, reckoning from this moment, which is noon of the 31st
of May, at the end of which is Excellency the General-in-
Chief will send one of his aides-de-ounp to settle mutually
the hour for the recommencement of hostilities.

W 2. The Royal Bank will be consigned to the Represents.
tive Crispi, Secretary of State, a limper receipt being given
and the detachment now guarding it will go to Caatella:
mare with arms and baggage.
3. The embarkation of the wounded and of families will
be continued, no means being neglected for the prevention
of every abuse.
4. The conveyance of provisions will be free for both
belligerent parties at all hours of the day, proper arrange-
ments being taken that this measure may be duly carried
out.
5. Permission will be given to exchange the prisoners
Mosto and Rivals& for the first lieutenantoolonel and one
other officer, Captain Grasso for instance.
The Secreary of State to the provisional government of
Sicily,
The General in Chief, FRANCESCO Career.

The Unita Igalianre of Palermo, in its number of June 3,
gives the following proclamation :
" Sicilians The tempest almost always follows the calm,
and we must prepare for the tempest, although the wished
for goal may not be reached.
" The conditions of the national cause were brilliant ;' its
triumph was secured the instant that a generous people,
trampling humiliating propositions under foot, resolved to
conquer or to die.
" Our situation improves every moment. Bat that
ought not to prevent us from doing our duty and striving
for the triumph of the holy cause.
" Arms then, and do you arm 1 sharpen your swords and
prepare every means of defence and offence. For enthu-
siasm and shouting we shall have ample leisure when the
country shall have been cleared of our enemies.
Arms then, and do you ann 1 I repeat. He who
neglects to arm during these three days is a traitor or a
coward ; and the people who, amidst ruins and the rubbish
of their houses destroyed by fire, fight for freedom and for
the lives of their wives and children, can neither be cowards
nor. traitors. " GARIBALDL

" Palermo, June 1."
Just as I am closing my letter a supplement appears to
No. 67 of the Genoese Unitd, in which there are all the
documents I have been translating for you, and this letter
from Garibaldi to Bertani besides :
. .

" Dear Berteni,-1 authorise you to make any advance or
loan whatever for Sicily, and moreover to contract any
debt, because we have immense means for paying every
caa—Yours ever, " G. GARIBALDI."
A private letter rays that GsribaldPs offioers and those of
lama's corps are hospitably attentive to one another, and
that the Neapolitan troops of Palermo may be considered
as pined over to the revolutionary cause.
The Malta Tines gives the following from a
Messina letter :

Messina, June 4.
The attack on Catania did not take place on Thursday
morning ; the royal troops were suffering very considerably
and were getting mach the worst of it, when news reached
the patriots that a body of above %OM royal troops that
bad left Girgerati some days since were unexpectedly
arrived within a few miles of Catania. The patriots, there.
fore, nut being strong enough to mist this additional force.
retreated calmly and orderly to their old positions on the
mountains, and shortly afterwards the troops from Cir.
genti marched into Catania without opposition.
The troops stationed at Catania have bad the usual pro-
mise of the Bombe authorities to encourage them to fight,
viz., that the town should be given up to pillage and ire,
last no time in putting it into execution, assisted by the
new comers. I yesterday received a letter from Catania,
giving some particul ire of which I annex you an extract,
which is of enough.
It in said to be official that an order is come from
Naples that the troops are to be withdrawn from Catania
and are to come here. From this I presume they will re-
tire from Palermo also, and that the last defence will be
made at Messina, which will not render our position here
pleasant.
Jl'Ne 5.—A steamer lam arrived this morning, towing
two sailing vesaela from Trapani, bringing the police and
garrison or that place, which bas also been evacuated.
