LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 11.

THE capitulation of the Neapolitan General with
GARIBALDI, which appeared so incredible on its
first announcement, is now completed. On Wed-
nesday last General Lwrizis signed an engagement
by the terms of which the Castle of Palermo and
all the positions in and about the city were to be
evacuated by the forces of the King of Nsio.se.
Three days afterwards, on Saturday morning last,
these troops, to the number of 18,000, were drawn
out on and near the Mole ready to embark.
The King of Nartni has thus paid the highest
tribute which the skill and enterprise of
GARISALDI have as yet received. It was he who,
doubtless on the soundest military advice, Nano-
tioned and commanded this capitulation. It was
General LANZA, " Commander-in-Chief of the
" Armies and Naval Stations beyond the Faro,"
the afar ego of FRANCIS 11., the author of the
bombardment of Palermo, who on Wednesday
week, by a message under hie own hand, asked
leave of "his Excellency General GARIBALDI" for
two of his officers to peas through Palermo in
order to confer with the insurgent leader on
board the British Admiral's ship ; but
before the proposals mooted in the con-
ference which followed could be ripened
into a definitive arrangement they were sub-
nutted to the King of NAZI.= in his capital by
General Le-rizis, who, fresh from the scene of
action, could fully relate the circumstances which
justified the extraordinary and humiliating pro-
posal to withdraw an army of eighteen thousand
men from Palermo, leaving the city and military
positions the prize of ill organised insurgents.
There is nothing more ignominious in history
than this capitulation, considered as crowning
the series of exploits by which the naval
and military commanders of the King of
NAPLEI have encountered GARIBALDI'S expedition.
The stupid, open-n t thed astonishment of the
Neapolitan sea-captains who saw the landing at
Marsala, and were paralysed at the sight of the
man they had been looking for several days,
matches well with the barbarism of shelling the
town from the citadel, at no greater risk than the
moral indignation of neutral Europe. The skill
G•RIBAI.DI showed in getting into Palermo might
have bathed a cleverer man than General Ltwot,
who was sent out against him ; but even after he
had entered and cut the Neapolitan army in two,
either half was five times as numerous as the
trained soldiers which the insurgents could bring
against it. Perhaps the fighting qualities of
GARIBALDI'S "youngsters" suffer a little in de-
scriptions furnished by observers full of the recol-
lections of Magenta and Solferino, Imperial Guards
and Zouaves ; but it is certain that if the military
ineptit tide of the Sicilians had not been far more than
compensated by the indisposition of the Neapolitan
soldiery to a war with men of their own language
and blood, GAatsat.ut would not have succeeded in
marching from Marsala into Palermo in sixteen
days, and obtaining complete possession of the
town and castle within less than four weeks of his
landing in the island.

Having completed the first stage of his enter-
prise by taking possession of the capital of Sicily,
6111:111ALDI is not likely to remain MActive in a place
where the enemy is no longer to be found. The
ad istration which he has established will be
responsible to bun wherever he goes. The mums
of his Ministers, transmitted by telegraph, are
little known in this country, but the fact that he
has confidence in them recommends them to the
horka and sympathies of Liberals everywhere.
The ordinary revenue of the country is now
at the disposal of the new Government, but air
it will he answerable for the ordinary administrative

expenditure, very little of it will be available for
the maintentuace of the war. It is indeed reported
that l; M1N.11.101 has found nearly a million of
money m the treasury, and we trust the statement
may recetre prompt and full confirmation, and
that the spoil may prove something more precious
than notes or bonds ; hut it seems very improbable
that ary great amount of treasure should
have been left in an exposed part of the
town, while the castle and the fleet offered
a place of superior safety, or that, in the wont
case, wealth so portable as money should have
been abandoned like ammunition and heavy guns.
The report that the Castle of Palermo had
been committed to the keeping of the English
Admiral until the evacuation is already contra-
dicted Our Paris Correspondent informs as that
this statement has become the subject of
invidious comment in that capital, and has
by some organs been connected with supposed
English designs on the independence of Sicily. A
misapprehension so grave as this reminds us pain-
fully hoe little the tendencies of our policy are
understood in France. To a Frenchman it may
seem inconceivable that an accession of territory
should be regarded otherwise than as most desirable.
It would be idle to attempt to indicate the manner
in which a proposition to acquire Sicily for England
would be received here, because there is no publfe
man in England who would venture to connect
himself with the suggestion. The sympathies of
this country are with the Sicilians in their desire
to win and enjoy their freedom, and our wannest'
