THE SUN.
LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 25, 1862,

The Royalist circle is contracting about GARI-
BALDI. CUGIA, as Commander-in-Chief, has been
superseded in Sicily by CIALDINI, as Extraordinary
Commissioner. The appointment was officially an-
nounced in the Turin Gazette of Saturday. And—

Sicily all the while being in a State of Siege—
CIALDINI will have there, under his command upon
his arrival, an overwhelming force, consisting of
three regiments of cavalry, eleven battalions of
artillery, and—with these—no less than sixty bat-

talions of infantry !
Meanwhile GARIBALDI has fairly established
himself for the time being in Catania. He might very
easily have been prevented from entering that place
had General RICOTTI been seriously so minded. As
the event proved, however, the loyal commander of

the forces of VICTOR EMMANUEL shrank from the
responsibility of crossing swords with the ex-

Dictator. GARlBALDl—confronted by the Royal
troops—found the way, nevertheless, clear before
him directly he advanced. And so—without ashot
fired, or a hostile bayonet fixed, without even a show
of opposition,the Hero entered freely at his own good
will and pleasure into Catania. There for the mo-
ment he has fixed his residence. There, if he has not
as yet actually,he has at any rate virtually established
a Provisional Government. He there exercises at
least supreme authority. lie seizes upon the public
treasury. He takes possession of the central office
for telegraphic communication. He adventures
even upon the questionably advantageous course
of levying contributions on the inhabitants. Barri-
cades have been systematically raised at his orders
In the principal streets of Catania. Communica-
tion With any one outside the city has been per-
emptorily forbidden. A considerable body of his
volunteers is there with GARIBALDI in Catania—
armed, but it would appear armed inadequately.
While these incidents are occurring in the centre
of the eastern coast of Sicily—now the headquar-
:litt fieavieeo miles
to
es
headquar-
ters of (we suppose We must call them) " the rebels"
—the royal troopa thereabouts, having allowed
GARIBALDI to pass scatheless among them into
Catania, have since then been not altogether
inactive. General Ricoeee
and General MELLA
have, in fact (since then) it seeeas,maadreinagjthuenrcotyioanl
at Misterbianco. Adelitionaltroope
,be
colours, have been landed, moreover, abo
to the north of Catania, namely, at Act
that the cordon appears to be as nearly a, pebb
rendered complete ! What with the Royal squadron
of war vessels now vigilantly watching the eastern
coast of Sicily—more particularly bet wee a the Gulf
of Catania and the Straits of Alessina—while,
spreading out to the right and the left as they
advance, the forces of CUGIA still press onwards in
the march begun at Palermo, and now (even by the
main body) carried forward far in advance of Cal-
tanisetta.

By the time that General CIALDINI ar-
rives in Sicily to supersede General CuGIA,
—supposing that is, of course, that nothing more
remarkable should, in the interm, have taken place
in that seat of (civil) war—the new General-in-
Chief and Commissioner Extraordinary will find
GARIBALDI to have been fairly entrapped ! The
trap to catch a Hero—being Catania ! As affairs are
actually situated there at the present moment in
Sicily we can hardly imagine anyone adven-
turing to assert, however, confidently that
GARIBALDI has yet been entrapped. He who
has Passed scatheless so way recently among
the loyal troopsactually • •
intercepting his
march towards Catania advancing boldly
amongst them as if he bore a " charrnel life" and
entering the city untouched! It would be hazar-
dous to assert of him that he cannot, yet awhile—
quite as easily as he entered Catania in defiance of
the KING'S Generals, quit it in defiance of the
liiNG's Admirals to cross over into Calabria. his
true, no doubt, that as things are,
even now, the
Royal Forces already in Sicily have obtained some_
thing very like a mastery of the Island. Palermo
and Messina are both reported as tranquil. That is,
there is an aspect of loyal tranquility both in the
eastern and in the western capital of the Sicilians.
