THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
NAPLES, APRIL 14 lom POST).
A steamer has come in from Palermo just in time
to allow of my giving the reports of two consuls.
They say that the city was quiet ; the shops not
open ; and they write, ou the 12th, the insurgents
were in occupation of all the neighbouring placesexcept Monreale. Engagements "maimed daily, in
which hisses were incurred on either side. The
troops were expecting reinforcements, when they
could advance, but not till then. At the last
moment the intelligence arrived that Miselmeri,
the headquarters of the insurgents, had been re-
taken by the troops, who occupied it. The insur-
gents, on the approach of the us sops, fired and then
retired. Castelcicala has Rent up to urge that the
coast be watched. It is reported that bodies of
volunteers have lauded, some stAV tat CNN Passaic,
others in some part of the island. A German gen-
tleman who has arrived says that it is impossible
to describe the misery of the population. The sol-
diers and police Lave robbed extensively, bat
the odium of the people is directed principally
against the police. No persons are allowed to
leave the island but foreigners. A holy had been
taken out of their vessel by the polies: just before
they left. She was, I believe, the Baroness de
Riso ; and, as you know, her husolsenol, the Prince
Niscemi, Prince Giardiuchi, and the Duke Monte.
leone, are all under arrest.

ADDRESS TO GARIBALDI.

TO THE EDIToIt oF THE EAPHEo4.

.....
SIR, —The enclosed paper contains an address
presented at Genoa to General G ariba h i, when that
noble champion of Italian patriotism was g,oins to
protest in parliament against the ec,sion of Nice.
The address was filled by a large miller of signa-
tures from persons of all dames, :old several
aniong the subscribers have expressed their wish to
have It published by the English press.
I consequently take the liberty ssf asking you,
in their name, to have the kindle,: to allow it
space in your valuable paper.
The address is one of the many protests, or
rather cries of anguish, which have risen from the
heart of the Italians at the surrender of Nice to
imperial France ; a surreii.kr, the arbitrary cha-
racter of which is made 111.114 e by the mockery of
an appeal to local suffrage in a gitLation of general
interest for the whole country, and when that suf-
frage could but represent the result of foreign cor-
ruption and pressure over* helpless caatimuity.*
The Genoese protest bcais witness to the wide
schism which exists in our days between the moral
conscience of nations and the so-taillol practical
policy which governs them. It shows, also, that
in spite of the yielding dispositions of both govern-
ment and the parliamentary. majority in Turin, the
better part of the Italian people is with the cause
of justice and human dignity, and abhors bartering
men's rights for any profit wfuntsoever.
The cuerciftn of the strong over the weak may be
mitubitte4l to with dignity, reserving for right and
humanity that moral protest over which force Ins
no control, and which avenges, at lem-t, the honour
of a country. But to yield mid attempt to justify
the immorality of the tnuisaction on utilitarian
grounds tells an ominous the for the future of 3
rising nation' and a very sorrowful one for evcrevery'true-hearted Italian. . . _

It is this feeling that prompts me frissias to show
to Europe that such a poheV 41...% not represent
the genuine aspirations of the It duru patriot,—
I am, &c., SAFFI.
