TILE TWO SICILIES.

We have peen a letter from Naplee,•of the t2lith
ult., which announces in the postertpt, on informa-
tion deemed by the writer to be in a high degree
worthy of credit, that " the Neapolitan Govora.
ment had determined on a complete Acknowledge-
ment of the indepetnience of Sivisy." The with ,4*
this must desirable event Is in onw degree cocrubo•
rJted by other inteliigenca received .early iu the
week, and which snafu& in gunural terms, that von.
dent Leine were vutoilainal of the finally anlicalk

adjustment of the differences between Sicily and
Naples. The fact, however, must still be received
as wanting confirmation.
From Palermo adviccs wt...e received on Saturday
by *ray -of Genoa, dated the 2Sth ult. The sub-
join:a extract of a letter describes the state of affairs
in Sicily at that peribd, when the determination
of Naples, if correct, could not, of course be
known :

" PALERMO. AUGUST es.
Thanks to the exertions of the Provisional Junta, we enjoy
tranquillity hem, though husintas is entirely at a stand. and we
have little or no intercourse with the interior. The want of
money, the smeos of wiz, was never more strongly felt by any
governim.at titan this, which, at the commentenient of its func.
lions Mond a treasury wholly exhausted. A thrall loan was in
cum:Atkin:a apprehended as one of its earliest measures, and an
intimation has at length been effectually given to that effect._..
The sum required is 200,000 ounces ( oo.ooul. sterling), and
all the foreign mercantile houses in Palenno are expected to
contribute to it in proportion. To citable you to judge of the
' extent to winch tnis is likely to affect them, I should add that
two houses, the most eminent in the city, are celled on to
contribute 10,000 ounces each; and I know another house.
whose propo:tion is set down at 5,000. The dreadful fate of
Caltanisetta. Ito intimidated into submission to the Provisional
Junta all the open towns and places of Sicily not under the
immediate controul or ,protection of a Neapolitan garrison.--
Messina, Trapani, with, as is believed, Catania and Syracuse,
stilt adhere to the old Government. A committee of 20 of the
must eminent persons of this city is employed in the organisation
of a regency, the members of which arc to be elected by the
repreLeutauves of all the communes; of Sicily, and by whom a
formal oath is to be taken to the Constitution of Spain, arid the
independence of Ficily, under a Royal Prince of the present
dynasty of Naples. We ore without any regular communication
with Naples, and arc in moch anxiety concerning the deputies
sent to teat fur our independence, who have nut returned, nor
sent any desp•ucbes to the Provisional Government. The civic
pond ainounts to 15,000 men, and is composed of individuals
from is to 55 year:, of age, including all ranks, front masters
of ships upwards to prices, friars, and the first nobility. An
expedition was sent oil some days ago for Syracuse, under the
Chevalier Abele, but when on the road, a party of the guerilla
troops eityioyeel on the occasion wished to plunder. The com-
mander and officers remonstrated, but to no purpose : they were
attacked, and sonic of the officers wounded and stripped. The
mutineers, who remained in possessioti of the artillery, had tile
harilitiliood to return to this city. where immediate measures
were taken against them. They were surrounded, disarmed, aid
arc now in confinement. The British brig Bacchus, in two days
from Messina, with a cargo of manufactured goods, arrived here
on the t i, but without any bill of health, which was refused
him by the Lieutenant General, Prince Scalene. Such was the
confidence of the people, however, in British honour, that the
vessel has been admitted to pratique ott the parole of the
Captain."
