LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

INSURRECTION IN SICILY.

An official despatch, dating the fact of an inset-
notion in Sicily, has been received in Put& AfP•
cording to this despatch, the spot where the rising
took place is Sefala, near Palermo, and the leader of
the movement is Baron Bentivenge. Elwin troops
have been sent from Naples to Palermo, toast against
the insurgents. The issue of the contest was un-
known, and it is not likely that any news can
be noised from Sicily for a day or two. The
only telegraphic communication between Pa-
lermo and Naples is by the old-fuhionsd
telegraph which is in the hands of the Neapolitan
government, and it is not likely that this government
will tell the French and English consuls what is
going on. They therefore will not, in all probability
be able to furnish any further intelligence until a
packet arrives from Palermo, and should the insur-
rection in Sicily have assumed serious proportions, it
is very likely that the packets may be prevented from
sailing. There is an impression among Italians in
London that the affair in Sicily will be responded to
by a sympathetic movement in Calabria.

NAPLES, Nov. 27.

Orders have been Weed, it is said, for the arrest
of upwards of 100 offenders in the province of Sa-
lerno, and many of them have, in fact, been arrested-
Amongst these were the brothers Mignoni—weelthy
men, belonging to a family well-known for their
liberal opinions, and several members of which are,
I have heard, in confinement in several parts of the
kingdom. A wish was entertained by their dopes-
dents to defied them, but it was diectountenaneed.
On their roots, however, to Salerno, an attempt at
rescue was made, and one or two of the gene.
d'arenes 'Grimly wounded. I am prepared,
indeed, to believe anything of this pro.
vino., the normal state of which is discontent
and opposition to the government. What would be
said were I to state that, sines 1849, some hundreds
of homicides have been committed in the district of
Valle in particular, and against the reutionists,spies,
and agent. of the government P Of thew who have
committed these lawless sots, not more than three or
four, I am told, have been discovered, and so dr
termined is the resistance to the present state of
things,that any one of the clams I have particularised
would sign his death warrant were he to go into that
district. Now this is a state of things horrible in the
extreme, and yet it may be attributed to a long course
of barbarity and liquifies, persevered in unremit-
tingly. Cruelty and injury invariably beget excesses,
and these will never cease until some radical reforms
in the government are introduced. It I. only this
week that a street royalist, speaking of another end
a neighbouring province, wee compelled to Me
"We are, indeed, in a bad condition ; the
persecutions perpetrated by are Wale-
rable." Therefore it is clear that, however mid
in comparison may be the action of power in the
capital, in the previews it is most arbitrary, and
produces its natural fruits. I seed you a copy
of og eddrese to the army, which I have inns-
lated. Attsaspai are being made to bedew and
attach the soldiers to the popular cause, and,
if report can be trusted, not without soma re-
sults. Within a short time several of the military have
been arrested; and for some months we have heard
of discontent, demonstrations, wrests, and beatings of

the soldiers. That they should be otherwise thandis-
contented would excite surprise when they see before
them daily foreign mercenaries better paid and fed,
and far more trusted. As if, too, to increase this jea-
lousy the number of foreign soldiers!. being increased
daily. His Majesty came to town from Gaeta on
Monday last, accompanied by several war steamers,
which were followed on the Tuesday by the rest of
the naval force at Gaeta. It is said that he has either
been or is going to visit the church of St. Maria del
Parto, at Pozzuoli—probably to secure an easy so-
condiment for her Majesty. A Council of State was
held on Wednesday, the decisions of which were as
trivial as usual. It never treats of high matters of
policy, but only of the ounent business of the interior.
All important affairs are reserved strictly far the
closet of the king.
Repute are circulated of amnesties and attain
changes, bat our owe are sooostomod to such reports,
and we believe nothing that we do not see. Persons
in whom I plate some dependence tell me, on the con-
trary, that not the slightest change in principle will
occur, and that the Xing is as firm as ever.

THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA IN ITALY.

7'he Emperor and Empress of Austria made their
entry into Volga on the 26th November. Their
majesties immediately promeded to the Cathedral of
Bt. Mere, where all the submit'er were assembled
at divine Bunter, ineliding the solemn palatinate
of the Ambroiden Hymn.

The dusiriais Clorivspoodneos states that the Hop

bought them so happily from Trieste, and to embark

Olkia4de Terms says, "Trieste eves her dear move-
rips depart with profound sorrow, but consoles
herself with the thought that their Majesties will
stop awhile in Venice, her sister, to whom the hap-
pines' is granted of seeing the Alca of our Matted
Empress, who shares with her august lord our bound-
less love and devotion, and to manifest these senti-
ments to the gracious and excellent mother of the
empire."

RUPTURE OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND,SWITZERLAND.

" Baron de Sydow," says the Berlin correspon-
dent of the Nord of Brume* " has received orders
to break off all relations with the Swiss government
and to leave Berne."

SPAIN.

A Madrid letter, in the Independance of Brussels,
says :—" The Council of Ministers has just adopted
a severe measure against General Prim. Two even-
ings ago it decreed his exile to the Canary Islands.
The general, being informed of the measure, hastened
to the palace, and declared to the Queen that it
was very impolitic to act in that manner with the
generals of the Spanish army, and that she exposed
herself to the danpr of a mutiny among her troops.
The Queen sent for Marshal Nereus, and inquired
why the Council of Ministers had adopted so severe a
measure against General Prim. The marshal replied
that the general was a dangerous character; that
sooner or later he would pat himself at the head of
the Progrerdsta party, and in the end overthrow the
Moderados. After many explanations a compromise
was agreed upon. General Prim is still under the
decree of exile, but instead of being sent to the Canary
Islands, he is to go to Bilboa."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, MONDAY EIIIIXIYO.

The Bourse has been exceedingly animated. The
Rents ma, from the beginning of bugling., in great
demand, notwithstanding a high rate of reports. No
attention was paid to the rumours of an insurrection
in Sicily. Favourable news was circulated of the
state of the Bank of France, the bullion, it was said,
having increased by 19,000,000 fr. on Saturday
, evening. N. Roahmos report, printed in to-day'.
Moniteur, giving a glowing description of the state
and prospecti of the railways, produced a manifest
effect, particularly upon those lines which were men.
tinned with particular favour. Tb. Rents rose No.
for cash, and 660. for account, closing at 69fr. 100.
and 69fr. 260. Mobilise rose 66fr. The Orleans
Railway rose 20fr.; Lyons, 20fr.; Mediterranean,
30fr.; Southern, 20fr.; Western, 26fr.; Grand
Central and Northern, 10fr. each.
Mr. Disraeli hes not yet mesa the Bomar, but
he has had an interview with Count Walewski, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs.

It is expected that the Emperor and Empress of
Austria will go to Rome before leaving Italy.
h the Paris oorn market during the put week
prices tended downwards, thous:: little business was
transacted ; in feet, es the season advance" loner
quotaikvlll are looked for, and, in consequence, pur-
chasers are cautious in buying more than what they
absolutely require. The four marks were offered at
81fr and 80fr. the 167 kilog., and wheat could be
obtained at 46fr. the hectolitre and a half for the
beet quality, and 42fr. 60c. to 43fr. 600. for inferior
sorts. From the provinces prices also Ammo lower,
except from Marseilles, where the demand for Spain
prevents the quotations from falling. There appears
to be no doubt that ari would even have taken
place at Marseilles, had it not been for the large
arrivals of corn from the Black See.

TURKEY.

An intelligent friend in Constantinople writes, on
17th ult.:

" The ill•starred Turks no longer know who are
their friends and who their foes. ' A preternatural
saspicion,' as Carlyle would call it, bus taken paver
taken
of their minds. When the news arrived that
England was at war with Persia. they at once
jumped at the conclusion that she contemplated a
crusade against Islam. The report that the Austrians
had definitively resolved not to evacuate the Danu-
bian provinces, next brought the Cabinet at Vienna
into suspicion. And Louis Napoleon's coquetting
with Russia has not disposed them to repose confi-
dence in him. They turn from one to another in
search of support, but find all in succession elude
their grasp.
"Rashid Pasha's programme * that he will insist
upon the Powers who subscribed the four points at
Vienna coming to an understanding amongst them-
' selves what reforms the Turkish government ought
to introduce t and that as soon as they have
smog themselves he will set to work. The agreed
is
• good one, it Reshid's object is to gain time, for
there is little chance of the Powers agreeing in any
plan of reform for Turkey.
"On Thursday, the 13th instant, &said held a
council at the Admiralty. This is undentood to
betoken a recoociliation between him and the Grand
Admiral Mehmed All Naha. Omer Paella was in-
vited to attend the council, and he was called upon
to state his views regarding the army. This Is
understood to have been meant as a snub to the
Minister of War, who was present."

PORTUGAL

LIBBON, Nov. 24.
Lest Friday the King, by invitation of the Ame-
rican minister, paid a visit on board the Merrimac.
The vessel was put in order for the occasion, the
oMoen being in full uniform, and his Majesty ex-
pressed himself highly gratified with his inspection
of the monster frigate. The Leg went on board, in
the royal barge, secompuied by the Doke of Oporto,
the Infante Dom Joao, and the lords in waiting. As
the barge pond the British and French men-of-war
the yard' were manned and salutes were fired,
whisk had a very imposing effect. The King
partook of bench on board the frigate, and
remained soma time en deck inspecting the various
improvements and mechanical contrivance, which
ware pointed oat by the commander. His Majesty
particularly noticed the brass fieldpiece, which is
used for quick firing, and the screw for elevating
and depnaing the guns.
The weather continues beautifully fine. The yield
of oranges is expected to be extensive, and the fruit
is generally considered of good quality. The grain
importations emanate larp; and as there is a general
scarcity of cereals, it is likely to go on increasing.
Good qualities are said to leave a margin for profit.
The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Emilie
arrived on the morning of the 21st instant, and was
at her buoy in the Qiadro at half-past 7 a.m. This
is the quickest passage ever ma& by any of the
Peninsular packets to this port. The French steamer
from Rio has arrived, and is lying off Belem.
In Port.—British voinels--Cseter. Colossus, Ex-
