After the conquest of Scilla.and*Reggio by the
French troops, the Napoleon GovernMent issued an
requiring ail the inhabitantS of Calabria to re-
turn to their houses. As soon as this command was
known in Sicilti, King FERDINANI) deemed it .expe",
dienttoTermit all the inhabitants of Calabria, who
were there, to return to their country.. I availed
myself "of this opportunity to set sail, which I'did
with so much the more pleasure, as a longer abode
in Sicily might have been very unpleasant, and my,
return ditikult, tibia the tyrannical watchfulness of
the English.
• When 1 left Messina, every thing was in'a state
.of repose 'The'English' had garrisons at tour places .•
Messina, Melazz,. Augusta,- and Syracuse. Their,
united force does' not make-moo° men; they ha*
sent to England .for reinforcements, which are the
more necessary, as, since the capture of Reggio and.
Scilla, they are more 2pprebensive of an attack from
the French. All the power .of King FERDINAD
consists of about 6000 men.

Though this small force is too insignificant to
defend so extensive an Liana, there arc no.thoughts
of Arming the people, or making them rise in a
mass ; the Court of Palermo fears to put arms into
the hands of the people; this might be fatal to the
Government.

The people are by no means favourably disposed
towards the English, who are as much atiaid of an.
insurrection of the peasants as of landing of the
French.

Tlie• old prejudices of the Sicilian people against
the French are nearly vanished ; even the priests are
not entirely against thew, and distrust • the Engli.sh
very-much.; .

They are fugitive Calabrians, who have been
driven by crimes trom their country, who now dis 7
turb Sicily ; but they are in soinewhat better order
than, in vo6.and 1807.

who iire there lived'retired.
• What surprised it, was to find that Eitglish
goods, though excluded troll) the Continent, are as
dear at Palermo and Messina as ut Rotne and Naples.
The Prince of HESSE Pit LIPSTP AI. is still at the
head of his troops; but he is so discontented with
the Court at Palermo, that lie is, resolved to lay
down all his employments. •

' The •coast is iniested with Barbary rovers, who
steal away men and cattle. The peasants say, that
the. Enjsh pretend that they can protect the Island
against the French, and they cannot eveh defend it
against these robbers.
The Neapolitans Who some years since were be-
nished to the Island of Lipat i, by con-an-hind of
FERDINAND, or rather the Minister Ac'rot4,llave
rtgaivied their freedom.

TATTSCHOPP, and his Legation, from. Siciiy, has
made an unpleasant inipreision since front the in-
terference of this tembossador, in case the 'French
effected the invasion, great hopes were entertained.'
