alists, and blood has been shed, the number of men
killed on both sides is estimated at two thousand.—
Palermo is said to have been the scene of sangui-
nary outrages. The Austrian Government has
caused the Russia❑ Manifesto on the aflltira of
Spain to be published, and the opinion is univer.
sally entertained that Austria will immediately
interfere (but we sincerely hope unsuccessfully)
for the extinction of the principle of liberty
in the Neapolitan States. The Austrian Field-
Marshal Bianchi has received orders, it is said,
to march into the Roman territory, at the head of
20,000 men. The accounts from Madrid arc to the
28th ult. The three last sittings of the Cortes have
produced nothing remarkable. An order of the day
announces that the patroles have received directions
to arrest all suspected persons, who shall be found
abroad after eleven o'clock at night. Several Italian
witnesses, who are to give evidence against the
Queen, have been for some time past in Vienna ;
an individual named Majocci, with his wife and two
children, arc amongst them. He was in the service
of her Majesty at Como, by whom he was dismissed.
In the bight of the Ipth ofJune several of the wit-
nesses unexpectedly received orders to set oft' fir
England, under the care of an English Mcss.mger.
The Paris Papers of Wednesday last have
just arrived. They contain further accounts of the
unhappy occurrences in Palermo, which they at-
tri..aite not to the imprudence of Colonel Church,
but to the early-formed determination of the Sici-
lians to take advantage of the opportunity to pro-
claim their own independence. The number of time
killed on this melancholy occasion, is estimated at
2,000 and that of the wounded at 4.000; and, it
is added, that when the packet left Palermo, con-
taining this intelligence, the city was still a prey to
the worst excesses of the populace. Some troops
were dispatched immediately from Naples to
Pa-
lermo, for the purpose of restoring tranquillity.
An Extraordinary Envoy from the King of Sur.
dinia to the Court of the Tuileries, was introduced
in public audience to the King of France on Mon-
day last. The present agitated state of Italy gives
some importance to an occurrence which possibly
might have no reference to the7peauliar circum-
stances of that country. The King of Sardinia
must, however, f,el some apprehensions, and be
might think it prudent to anticipate evil, by ensur-
ing the powerful protection of France.

An Address of Condolence and Congratulation to
her Majesty the Queen is in course of signature in
Edinburgh, which has originated with, aod is to be
be confined cxe!Lsively to, the Ladies. ‘Ve under-
stand it expresses a wish that her Majesty may take
an early opportunity of visiting Scotland.
On Monday a meeting was held (tithe citizens of
Clot-ester, to consider of an Address to the Queen
on her return to this country. '1 he Address was
agreed to, and is to be presented to her Shjesty by
the city members, Mr. Webb and Mr. Cooper. It
was computed that near 3,000 persons were present,
among whom there was not one dissenting veice.
The Address front the inhabitants of the city of
Worcester to her Majesty the Queen is signed by
upwards of 2,200 persons. Colonel Davies, one of
the city members, has undertaken to present it;
Lord Deerhurst has declined to do so.

The Witnesses against the Qlieen.—Several of
these personages have arrived, and more ure on " the
other side of the water," ready to be shipped fin-
England. In this country they will be accommodated
at the houses and temporary erections, prepared to
cook the Coronation Banquet, occupying the space
of Cotton Garden, which is a secluded and enclosed
spot between the House of Lords and the River
Themes. All the entrances to it are guarded with
new ttrorgipttes. The temporary buildings, which
consist of sheds, &c. are fitted up for the reception
Hof witnoss..s; in some of these kitchens there are as
nu,:ly as four and five beds ! Some of these bed-
rooms were, w%.! have been inlinmea, occupied on
Thursday night. These places can now be ap-
proached by water, as there is just ruied a temporary
landing place on the frontage line of the Thames.
The parties will thus be secure from any iet:gh
treatment that popular insult might expose them to
Lowever, that must mime rather than
promote that came of justice which Englishmen
have at heart.
