-IReinful feeling has been created here, at Genoa,
and Milan, by a sort of manifesto from Haulm
against the monarchical principle, the only prin-
ciple, I need hardly say, that gives strength, be-
cause it gives union, to the present Italian move-
ment, and which alone can attain a victorious
result. That, under other conditions, in Italy and
Europe at large, Maszini might preach his re-
publican doctrines, perhaps beneficially, may well
be, but his doing so now is sowing diviaion
at a most unseasonable moment, when the
liberal party is engaged in a stern contest. He
cares nothing, then, for the expressed wishes of
the people, he does sot regard the unimpeachable
fact that a king has exposed his life in fields of
battle, from which Mairsuii has 'always kept aloof,
to free whole provinces of Italy from their de-
grading and gal ml" yoke and to unite them in the
bonds -of liberty alone. Can Marini flatter him-
self that be is more liberal than Garibaldi, that he
deserves better of his country 7 Some say, that he
envies the popularity and glory of Garibaldi,
but this I do not believe ; I believe
his imprudent manifesto is the logical, but fatal,
consequence of his very nature, a defect, as it were,
of his own qualities. Prone as he is to abstract
theories, living as he has always done in the midst
of conspirators, obstinate in his purposes, and
having no experience of the every-day life of nations
he thinks now as he thought thirty years ago His
horison, his scope of vision, has not changed, *for be
himself has stood still. It is hard for any man to
abandon the dreams of his youth, but harder still
if those dreams once gave him fame. He wishes to
be consistent at any prioe, and does not see the ab-
surdity of the attempt when circumstances become
totally altered. Our consolation is, that he has
but few followers, Zambianchi being one of them,
and we find that his reasoning is acceptable to the
Austro-clerical party alone. They are the only
persons who for reasons of their own are scattering
copies of his manifesto abroad among the common
people.
A few days ago the banker Adolphus Rothschild
pearled through here on his way from Naples,
all his money with him except three hun-
dred thousand ducats, which he has left behind
him for the current demands upon his bank. This
shows the confidence he feels in the stability of the
present order of things in the Two Sicilies. For
the matter of that, the King himself has sent
jewels and treasure out of his dominions.

THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY.

The following letter has been received by a mem-
ber of the Garibaldi Testimonial Conunittee in
London :

Palermo, Hay 28.
Dear Sir,—Just time to say that we are in full possession
after streams of blood have flown. Fights 'twizt brothers
are deadly.
We want moue • we want, as I told you, a British
steamer, 'with revolving rifles and pistols of
Colt's (17, Pall-mall) ; also some cannon reiyt But far
the sake of humanity and liberty, do hurry no the sub.

of more fighting. We muster now some 30000 all told,
though not all armed. We want arms and ammunition

going Her Majesty's gunboat Intrepid arrived at Malta
on the 2nd, aid the following notice of the news
brought by her was posted at the Bourse 1.101110..
diately afterwards :
Palermo was bombarded till Wednesday at and-day. At
this moment General Elaisano asked for an armistice of 24
hours. This was accorded by Garibaldi after a conference
OD baud the Hanaitial, at which were peasant all the cap-
tains of the ships of war in the roads of Palermo, Garibaldihimself, his sou, and Colonels Tun and Origin. Beton the
tens of 24 hours bad elapsed the Neapolitan general asked
for three days' prolongation of the armistice, which was
also granted by Gsribaldi, who was ready to 'deed it
eves to three weeks.

The convent of Ste. Catering had been destroyed by the
bombardment, as well as many other buildings.
All Palermo was stamely fortified with barrkadea, and
Garibaldi had distributed a large quantity of arms and
munitions amongst the people.
Not the least doubt wasentertained al a complete victory
in favour of the population.
We (Malta Tones) have received private letters,
from which we make the following extracts :

June 1.
You will receive this by the Intrepid, just in here from
Palermo, bringing us back from Trapani our arms, which
had been taken from us. Garibaldi is in Palermo : but the
Neapolitans are still in Oastellantare, er Citadel, the Palace,
and the Finance. The Neapolitans have asked a second
armistice of three days, which was granted by Garibaldi, to
end on Sunday, at neon. It was thought the troops would

of about 80 emigrati, prmcipally Sicilians, from Genoa, in a
Iraq amallateamer, with 2,000 muskets and a large supply
of cartridges (100,000), notwithstanding the vigilance of the
Neapolitan cruiaers. They also had with them 1,0001.
in money. We are again in some little alarm, as there
is no moral force to repress the lawless tendencies of the
numerous vagabonds prowling about, who have not so far
seen any sign of activity or energy in the new national
guard, and several bold robberies have been perpetrated in
the country near Marsala. We hope the admiral will con-
tinua to interest himself in our behalf and send some small
craft here for oar protection.
Another letter from Marsala, dated 31st May,
after mentioning the landing of the Sicilians,
says
The townspeople earns down to meet them with a band.
Don Enrico Fanlel a was in command. It is said • Nea-
politan steamer et Trapani is getting up her steam. Two
other steamers with 2,000 troops for Garibaldi are expected
here to-day or to-morrow.
