FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE,

Advice and Gasettes from Palermo, to the 16th
nit , were received yesterday, by way of Genoa.—
The return of the deputies titan Naples sent to ne-
gotiate for the independence of Sicily, with a reftisal
on the part of the Neapolitan Government, was the
signal of the most vigorous t►►easures on the part of
the provisitinal Junta at Palermo. A decree was
immediately hented tot enrolling in the military ser-
vice of the country the naute of every inhabitant of
eitpablt of bearing areas, without exception of
rank ; and troops were diy►.:at•d in ail directions to
atetek those plates which mild adhered to their de-
pendence on Naples. In the preceding advices
Nles,igia and Trapcoti alone were mentioned as in
that predicament, hut it is now toolerAood that

test betweeen the people and the moult:ilia} authori-
ties of Girgenti, previously to the accession of that
place to the invitation of tote provisional Junta.—
Nothing could exceed the ardour and enthusiasm
that were manifested in the cause of independetum.
The triumph of the popular party was complete, and
letters were despatched to the Junta ut Palermo,
apprizing them of their having gained the ascend-
ency, and r.:questing iothrinatitin in the mode of
electing a deputy who should represent their inter-
ests at the new seat of government.
At Caltarisetta a strenuous re: stance was made
to the provisional Junta, and a division of the Army
of National Independence, under the command of
the Prince of St. Catalan, invested the place on the
Bth of August. His efforts were directed in the first
instance to negociatio.i fur a peaceful surrender, bat
without effect, till a further reiofitreement arising
on the 11 th, commauded by Col. D. Pietro Orlando:
with Major D. Michele, and Capt. Rodrigo Palmeri
Miceiche, which augmented his troops to near 8,000,
and enabled him to occupy some important advanced
posts, a more favourohle diposition was shown by
the inhabitants. A messenger was sent out from
the town with a flag of truce to treat for u capitula-
tion, who was received by the troops with shunts of
joy, and embraced, as a brother. This offer proved,
however, to cover an act of the blackest treachery.
half an hour had scarcely elapsed front the arrival
of the messenger when the advanced guard of the
independynt army was suddenly attacked by a pow-
erful three, and many of them were killed. The
troops, under the irritation produced by this breach
offaith, entered the town pelt mull, and, carrying it
by assault, a great number of the inhabitants lost
their lives. The town finally acceded to the inde-
pendent cause. Trapani was in a state of blockade,
but still held out. From Catania, which is an
open town, little resistance was expected ; but Sy•
racuse and Messina, Lein;; strongly tit/titled, threat-
ened a severe mutest. All communication between
Palermo and Messina, and through the medium with
the Continent, was cut off. No couriers were per-
mitted to pass.

A melancholy circumstance occurred lately at

his wife rose to procure him assistance, but belio•e

Inquire into the expeartsa of the whole transaction. It
must have been very evident to those who had attended
to the evidence given at their Loidships' Bar, that large
ennui of money had been received by several witnesses—
as much, iuderii, hail been distinctly confessed—and it
' we.. important to know by what antlowity their payments

- Lord .LIVEIIPOOL Mad no objection to the motion of
the noble Lord ; and, as to the ouservations made by ano-
ther noble Load °pp°. ite, he would only say. that at the

ing before Pat liatnt nt an acciumt of every item of expen-
diture connected aids the present transaction, though at

Lord LAUDERDALE thought that any account of
expellees coomecteu with the present proceeding ought to
embrace the while expences, as Vol ll uu one side as on the
other. He doubted whether lie ought to agree to so
limited a mutton as that before the house.
Lord DARNLEY agreed with the noble Lord (Lau-
derdale) who ha I just spoken, as to the propriety of
having all account of the whole expences.
The LORD CHANC ELLLOR suggested. that instead
of the worths •a Her Nlajesty's Advisers," " Her Majesty's
Counsel and Agents" should be substituted.
Lord Kt 'gyms agreed to this alteration.
The first part of the motion, in this amended shape,
was then pet.
'llw LORD CHANCELLOR said the Contents bad it.
Lord LAUDERDALE thought the Non contents had

it uncontradirted fur a single day..—The Lea ma Counsel
concluded with intreatiog their Lordships nut to grant the

WITIRDRAWINo OF TOE APPLICATION FOR DCLAY.—
The ATTOUNKY-GEN KRAL rose and said, that he thought
it right and proper to state to their Lordships that, within the
but halt hour he had received despatches from Nlilan; from
which it appeared that a much longer time than he anticipated
yesterday must necessarily elapse before the witneste% he then
alluded to could be brought over. He felt it incumbent upoa
him to state this fact to their Lordships'; and, under thex
circumstances to withdraw the application which he had nirde fix

delay.
Mr. BROUGHAM presumed he might now understand that
the Attorney-General had closed his case. Assuming this to he
the state of the case, he would now call back Theodore Nlajoeci,
and nsk him one or two questions.
