SICILY.

It would appear from a letter, dated 27th Novem-
ber, addressed by Colonel CARINI to the Democrutie
Pacifique, that King 808 A, conscious of the ille-
gality of his usurpation of the throne of Sicily, is
anxious to procure from the members of the Sicilian
Parliament a revocation of the Act of Deposition,
passed by that Parliament assembled in its two
Chambers in 1848, which Act of Deposition still
remains in full force and virtue, and which cannot be
repealed by any number of individual members of
that Parliament. Colonel CARINI says, " that the
Sicilian Parliament, when it found that it could no
longer resist the troops of the Usurper, prorogued
itself, thus giving to its retirement from the scene of
action a mere temporary character only, and leaving un-
revoked the fundamental measures which it bad adopted,
more especially the decree deposing ad 3 nasty which
had no longer any right over Sicily. The King of
NAPLES is now endeavouring by seduction and
violence to procure the revocation of this decree of
deposition. He firit of all addressed himself to the
Peers (Sicily, be it remembered, like England,
possesses an hereditary peerage), and notwithstand-
ing the Sicilian Peerage, numbers among its mem-
bers, nut only all the grandees of the kingdom, but
all the ecclesiastical dignitaries, even down to the
provincial of the Jesuits, the act of revocation of this
decree of desposition received only twenty-one signa-
tures out of 180 Peers who were Members of the
Chamber. Out of these twenty one persons two
only were voluntary- apostates, the other nineteen
having yielded to threats and coercion. It was
evident that twenty-one could never revoke the decree
of deposition, and therefore the KING commissioned
two apostates, MM. PINELLI and MAINIINIE, to hawk
about from house to house the act revoking the decree
of deposition in quest of the signatures of their old
Parliamentary colleagues. They are accompanied by
sass-d'armes, and are invested with full powers to
secure the success of their enterpriza ; they have the
power of dismissing, despoiling, and imprisoning those
who refuses their signatures. The Prince of PALA-
GONIA, gentleman of the KING's bedchamber, has re-
fused the personal request of the KING, that he would
sign. Monsignor TORRISI, of the Chapel Royal of
Palermo, received his dismissal by a verbal
message, delivered to him by an aide-de-camp of
General FILANGIERI during the time he was
engaged in the performance of Divine service.
But it can scarcely be expected that all will follow so
honourable an example, more especially fathers o
families, who may by refusing a mere signature de-
prive their families of bread. The Peers and De•
puties of Sicily, however, who have preferred exile to
witnessing the convulsions of their conquered coun-
try, will no doubt protest against the validity of
every act emanating from corruption and violence, of
every act essentially irregular and illegal, the signa-
tures to which have been either bought by corruption
or extorted by intimidation.
