The Express.
London, England, 1860-05-17 00:00:00

The following is to the inhabitants of Naplea :

It is time for you to imitate the magnanimous example
of Sicily, by rising against the most impious of tyrannies.
To the perjured and bloodthirsty race that has so long tor-
tured and trampled upon you, let the free government sue
000 d which eleven million of Italians now enjoy ; and sub-
stitute for the foul Bourbonic n►g the glorious tricolour,
the happy symbol of national independence and unity,
without which true and durable liberty ace impossrole.
Your brethren of the North desire nothing more than to
WO you join the Italian family.
G. GARIBALDI, G. RICCIARDI, BARON Stucco.
Ono to the Sicilians follows :

Bdcidiane!—l have brought you a body of brave men,
who have hastened to respond to the heroic cry of Sicily.
We, the remains of the battles of Lombardy, are with you ;
all we ask is the freedom of our land. United, the work
will be easy and short. To arms, then !—he who does not
snatch up a weapon is a coward, or a traitor to his country.
Want of arms is no excuse. We shall get muskets, but
for the present any weapon will do in the bands of a brave
man. The municipalities shall provide for the children,
women, and old men deprived of their support. To arms,
all of you! Sicily shall once more teach the world how a
country can be freed from its oppressors by the powerful
will of a united people. G. GARIBALDI.

THE STATE OF PALERMO.
(MON OUR OWN OOBBISPONDErf.)

NAPLES, MAT It

The Elettrico came in from Palermo this morning,
and I have scarcely time to send you the contents
of two or three letters. One says, dated the 9th :
"The shops in the Cassano and the Toledo have been
opened by force, and are kept open by abirri and
gendarmes. Companies of soldiers march up
and down the town ; in fact, the government are
doing nothing but parading the armed force and ar-

1
resting- pople. They are much alarmed about
do report of the approach of Garibaldi, and the
soldiers begin to ha frightened ; the officers, too,
are sick of being kept constantly on the move."
" Palermo, May 112.—The steamer was detained
by order ad..government. She was sent off
the night before last to cruise in search
of Garibaldi, who has not yet been found.
We have been worse off than ever these last
two days--constant demonstrations, and yes-
terday and the evening before, the people, on being
fired on, got foul of the police with knives, and
killed and wounded several. Some of the
people also were wounded, and by degrees
we look for another Sicilian Vespers. The people
were never more united, and are beginning to get
desperate. There has likewise been • riot with
the troops near Balestreri, to the east of Palermo."
This is from a good source, as also that the 10th
regiment of the line at the Mole showed symptoms
of disaffection, and cried out, " Abbaeao il Colo-
nello," ec., &c., so that by degrees you will
see things are beginning to take the course
predicted by Lord John Russell. The reports
about Garibaldi have thrown the government
into confusion, and the evening before last all the
steamers were again put in requisition, and sent off
in every direction. The Elettrioo came back yes-
terday afternoon. The demonstrations are no longer
in the Cassano and the Toledo,but in the Marqueda
and the off streets. In the forenoon yesterday there
was not a person to be seen in the streets, and the
city and all the public resorts appeared to be dead.
The working people, too, knocked off work at the
same time, which added to the general gloom. To-
wards evening,about 7 o'clock, the numerous sentries
surrounding the writer's house and the bank were
very much alarmed, and carried their muskets in
hand, ready to fire in any direction, appearing, at
the same time, exceedingly nervous and excited.
There is a report in Naples that a telegraphic die-
patch has been received from Tunis, apprising the
government of the arrival of Garibaldi there with
800 men. Certainly there is great alarm felt here ;
and, amongst other troops, the 3rd (foreign) Regi-
ment has orders to embark—this regiment consists
principally of Austrians. I confirm what I have
said of the provinces : the Calabrias and other
parts are ready, and a spark would set them in a
blaze.

NAPLES, MAT 15, 9.50 r.r.
(ortictu.)

Garibaldi is in Sicily at the head of the fili-
busters. The royal troops are marching to comet
thorn. No movement whatever has taken place in
the provinces.

NAPLES (v 0 Marseilles), MAY 12.

The mere rumour of Garibaldi having attempted
to raise the people in Calabria has caused a panic.
It is even reported that the Court has packed up
articles of value in order to be prepared for all con-
tingencies.
The Neapolitan soldiers are discouraged, as
for 38 days they have been fighting on the same
ground.

AUSTRIAN CONCESSIONS.
VIENNA, MAT 17.
The Praise publishes the following telegram,
dated

"PESTH, HAT 16.

"An autograph letter of the Emperor is to be
published to-morrow, allowing the constituted
superintendents to assemble in conventions, in
order to discuss the question of sending deputies to
a general conference, and to make proposals for a
synod. Free choice of superintendents and curates
will be granted. The trials pending against Pro-
testants have been suspended."

GERMANY AND THE SAVOY QUESTION.

FB.ANKIFORT-OLTHE-MATNE, WAY 16.
The probabilities of the assembling of • con-
ference have lately diminished, the German powers
being of opinion that it would not in any way in-
fluence French policy, nor arrange any real gua-
rantee in favour of Switzerland. The following tire
their reasons :

The annexation of Savoy to France having prac-
tically done away with the guarantee contained in
article 92 of the final act of Vienna, that article
could not form the basis of a conference.

The cession of the littoral of the Lake of
Geneva to Switzerland would not constitute any
guarantee of military importance.
It is not likely that at the conference the oppo-
sition of the Great Powers to the annexation
of Savoy would be unanimous. Even if it were,
France having accomplished the annexation, not-
withstanding the opposition of public opinion iu
Europe, would also not be inenenoed by the
opinion of the Great Powers, more especially as
they have resolved upon acting with moderation,
and without coercion towards France.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
ST. PETERSBURG. HAY 16.

On the occasion of the communication; made by
Prince Gortschakoff to the diplomatic corps respect-
ing the affairs of Turkey, the English ambassador,
Sir John F. Crampton, immediately protested
against the intentions declared by Russia.
