WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1846.

general bombardment, much more terrible than that
which had previously taken place, remained sus-
pended over the heads of the population. On the 19th,
on the invitation of the French Consul, all the
consular agents assembled, and charged M. BREsSON
to draw up a protest against this incessant menace.
This document soon became known to the
people. It produced an excellent effect. It
was printed in French and Italian, and pla-
carded on the walls. It must have greatly
contributed to spare new misfortunes to Palermo.
In the meantime some communications took place
between the Duke DE MAJO and the Marquis DE
SPEDALOTTO, Pretor of the city. Vague and unde-
termined at first, the pretensions of the insurgents
increased every day, and at length resulted in a de-
mand for the re-establishment of the old Sicilian con-
stitution and the immediate convocation of the Si-
cilian Parliament at Palermo. The Duke DE MAJo
not having any power to treat on such bases, was
obliged to confine himself to transmitting the de-
mands to his SOVEREIGN. On the 19th, accordingly,
one of the vessels of the squadron was sent off to
Naples for instructions. The next day the two fri-
gates which, as above mentioned, had previously left
for Naples, returned before Palermo. It conveyed
the four royal decrees of the 18th, an abstract
of which has already been given. Two months
sooner such measures would have excited
general enthusiasm, tut, after the insurrec-
tion, they were clearly and flatly refused. A
Parliament convoked at Palermo, tire old consitution
adapted to the present time—such is the ultimatum
which the insurgents say they will not abandon.
They calculate probably on a general rising in Sicily ;
but whether any has taken place or not there is no
positive news. A movement attempted on the 6th at
Messina was put down on the same day ; and on the
15th the people of that town did not know what had
occurred at Palermo. The attitude of the people
was disquieting, and in consequence the military
authorities had adopted formidable measures. Our
letters mention that nothing very extraordinary had
occurred in the course of the engagements between the
insurgents and the royal troops. One circumstance,
however, deserves to be quoted for its originality—the
garrison of Montreal, a little town situated at two
leagues from Palermo, had yielded itself prisoner to
the Benedictine monks, who had taken arms, and
whose convent is situated in that town. On the 21st,
the date of our letters from Palermo, the insurgents
attacked a convent called the Novizziato, which was
defended by the troops, and which is situated near
the palace. On the departure of the courier there
had been no result. An English frigate had arrived
off Palmero on that day, and the French steam cor-
vette the Tonnerre* sent by the French Ambassador
at Rome, was expected every moment.

The paragraph of the Address on the affairs of Italy
was agreed to on Monday, after speeches from M.
TRIERS, M. ODILON 13AnaoT, and M. GUIZOT.

The Consiitutionnel says, of the speech of IL
TITTERS—

" The whole of France will thank M. Thiers for
having proclaimed aloud the sympathy which we feel
and are bound to feel for Italy. Never was more
noble thoughts expressed in more magnificent lan-
guage. If every man of feeling applauds the indig-
nation with which M. Thiers spoke of such acts as
the bombardment of Palermo, and the generous
words with which he encourages Italy in the work
of her regeneration, what man of sense will refuss
to sanction the line of conduct which he prescribes
for our government ?"
In alluding to the speech: of M. Gurzor, the Con-
stitutionnel says—
" There is an absolute contradiction between the
speech of Saturday and that of yesterday ; so much
for the language of M. Guizot. There is an absolute
contradiction between his liberal speech, his dis-
patches, and the whole of his policy ; so much for
his conduct. The explanation of this is to be found
in the liberal, sensible, end generous speech of M.
Thiers yesterday, which compelled M. Guizot to de•
stroy in a new speech the absolute thesis which he
had before taken such pleasure in developing. Un-
fortunately, however, he could not efface in the same
way his acts, in which we find his true sentiments."
The intelligence of the rejection, by the Sicilians
and the Neapolitans of the terms proposed by the
KING had produced a very depressing effect on the
French funds.

The conduct which it is probable Austria may
adopt in this emergency is looked forward to with
great anxiety.
We read in the Union Monarchique :—" M. DR
BACOURT, who was to pass the rest of the winter in
Paris, has, we are assured, received from M. GuizoT
the most pressing direction to proceed immediately
to his post at Turin. At the same time a similar
intimation was made to M. PISCATORY, our Ambas-
sador to Spain, who did not reckon upon leaving for
Madrid till towards the end of the present month."

REVOLUTION OF PALERMO.
(FROM OUR OWN CO RRE
ERMO,SPONDENT J.
PAL 23.

At Naples the situation, we are informed, has become
worse since the publication of the first ordinances,
They were at first received with coldness by the
Neapolitan population, and after it was known
that the Sicilians had refused them, they
lost all value in the eyes of the public.
Great anxiety prevailed in the capital, and, as
the reports from the provinces were very alarming,
it was feared, that bards of peasants, called by the
getters-up of the disturbances, would arrive in Na-
ples. the enlightened and leading men appeared
to have agreed to demand of the KING to make the
largest concessions to his people. Among those who
laboured most to prevent by these means the horrors
of civil war, the Marquis DE rIETRACATELLA, Pre-
sident of the Council of Ministers, and the Duke DE
SIERRA. CAPRIOLA, Ambassador of Naples at Paris,
are particularly cited. The movement which had
taken place in certain communes of the province
of Salerno had extended to the city, and there
had been cries of " Long live the Constitution 1"
At Naples it was believed that, in order to maintain
tranquillity, it would be necessary to remove the
Marquis DEL CARRETTO, Minister of Police, and
Monsignor COCLE, the King's confessor, from their
places.
The amnesty, which had been announced, was
published on the 23d. It is as follows :

The time of partial insurrections is past. We have
here a national movement—a revolution in the full
sense of the word. The decrees of the Provisional
Government of Palermo are obeyed in the whole

island. -
As soon as the garrisons of the towns on the sea
coast had been attacked and disarmed, they were
directed on this capital, where they have been
accompanied by all the small corps of the insurgents,
who have come here to make common cause with us
and defend the capital.
The troops shut up in the fortresses begin to look
with indifference to the fall of the Neapolitan despot-
ism, and their gloomy looks prove that their own
heart is not associated with the cause, that military
duty still prevents them from openly forsaking a
portion of the troops which occupied Palermo, and a
Portion of those sent from Naples are encamped on the
slopes of the Monte Pellegrino, where they are
cruelly exposed to cold and sickness. A great
number of Palermitan ladies, taking pity on the
wretched state of those poor soldiers who are hourly
dying in want of help and medicines, have courage-
ously found their way to the camp, in order to render
their assistance to the sick, and they have even suc-
ceeded in having some of them conveyed secretly
into the town. This praiseworthy conduct of the
Palermitan ladies has produced an immense impres-
sion on the spirits of the troops.

" FERDINAND 11., &C.,

" Art. 1. We accord full grace to all the persons
condemned or detained for political offences in the
kingdom.
" Art. 2. The following are included in this grace,
the priest Giovanni Krimy, the canon Don Paclo
Pellicano, Giovanni Andrea Romeo, Stefano Romeo,
Guiseppe Miranda (of Ariano), the priest Don Vin-
cenzo de Ninno, Don Vincenzo Maura, Giuseppe
Scala, who, however for the sake of tranquillity, shall
remain confined in an island until a new resolution
•n our part."
The following is the address of the commander of
the insurgent party inlPalermo, announcing his rejec-
tion of the propositions of the King of NAPLES :
" Palermo, lan. 21.
•

"Ills E,xcellency the King's Lieutenant communi-
cated to the governor by a letter, of the present day's
date, some sterile propositions, which do not respond
to the desires of the people, and have no other gua-
rantee than the absolute will of the Sovereign. Sicily
knows, by the sad experience of numerous years of
grief and despair, what the will of a prince is worth
when the people themselves are not the depositary,
guardian, and avenger of their rights. In conse-
quence, the governor has made the following reply
in the name of the committee and of the people :
" 'Excellency,—l have communicated to the general
committee the letter which you addressed to me this
day, and I am charged to reply to you that the ar-
rangements mentioned in your letter cannot relate to
a people who, for nine days a prey to the horrors of
bombardment, fire, and shells, gloriously maintain
their rights, and those national institutions which are
alone capable of ensuring a durable happiness to this
island. The committee, the faithful interpreter of the
firm resolution of the people, can only persist in the
views already transmitted to your Excellency through
me, viz., that arms will not be laid down, nor hosti-
lities suspended, until Sicily, united at Palermo in
Parliament, shall adapt to our present epoch the con-
stitution which our country possessed for many cen-
turies, which was reformed in 1812, under the in-
fluence of England, and confirmed implicitly by a
royal decree of December 11, 1816.
(Signed) " MARQUIS DE SPIDELOTTO.'
Let this be announced to the city of Palermo,
and to
all the communes of Sicily."

At the sitting of the Swiss Diet, on the 28th ult.,
Colonel MuLLeit took the oaths and his seat as repre-
sentative of Zug. He afterwards traced succinctly
the conduct of his canton in the late affairs. lie
stated that, as soon as Zug had capitulated, the
liberal population could no longer tolerate a Govern•
ment which had been in open rebellion against the
confederation, and therefore had chosen a new one,
which he trusted would act in concert with the con-
federation. He declared that Zug had withdrawn from
the Sonderbund, acceded to the decree of the Diet
for the expulsion of the Jesuits, and was ready
to take part in the revision of the federal compact.
Upon this, Colonel MULLEx was elected a member of
the committee of revision by a majority of 18 out of
19 votes. A proposal by the Federal Council of War
for an augmentation of the staff of artillery was
carried unanimously, with the exception of the
Deputy for Neufchatel, who wished it to be referred
to a committee. The rest of the sitting was occupied
with the questions of promotions of officers who had
distinguished themselves in the late campaign, but
they were adjourned till Wednesday. At the end of
the sitting the resignations of several officers were
read and referred to the Federal Council of War.

A letter from Copenhagen states that the King of
DENMARK, on the occasion of his accession to the
throne, has ordained that, in accordance with the
letter patent, which he has already published, all
prosecutions for political offences by the press, now
pending, shall be suppressed.

Madrid journals of the 26th ult. have been received.
On the 25th the Ministers, with the exception of
IsTARvAxz, attended the Committee of the Deputies
on the Budget, and gave explanations which were
satisfactory to the majority. The Progresistas had
held a meeting, at which it was determined, that
when the estimates should come on for deliberation,
a proposition shall be made to do away with the
monopoly of salt, and to sell the salt works, applying
the proceeds to the payment of the public debt. The
debates in the two Chambers on the 25th were
without interest ; that of the Senate was on the Bill
constituting the Senate into a court of justice ; that
of the Deputies on the Bill relative to notaries.

DIATII OF TUE COUNTESS OP BETIIRLEY.—We re-
gret to announce the decease of the above Noble Lady,
who expired at the family mansion, in Portman-square,
on Monday last, after a protracted illness. Her Lady-
ship was the second and youngest daughter of the Hon.
James Stuart Wortley Mackenzie, and brother of the
first Lord Wharncliffe. The Countess's demise wilt
be deeply regretted by all who had the happiness of her
acquaintance, and by none more so than her poorer
dependents.
CA.EIN/CT DIN/ill/C.—Sir John Cam Hobhouse
will receive the members of the Cabinet at dinner on
the 9th of February, at his mansion in Berkeley-
square.
Lord John Russell has been suffering from a
cold, accompanied with cough, during the last few days,
and has in consequence been confined to his house.

We hare receir•d the Paris papers of yesterday.

better.
There are no foreign arrivals to-day with late intel-
ligence of interest, if we except the usual continental

express, which brings advices of grave import from
Sicily. The insurrection spreads, and the apprehension
now is, that unless the King of Naples yields all that is
required, the Austrian troops may be made available.
Monetary and commercial affairs still wear an im-
proving aspect in the City, and there is a probability of
the movement being felt throughout the country. We
are advised by Messrs. Ferguson and Taylor, of Man-
chester, that—
" We are not sanguine, however, that the decaand for
the manufactures of this district will be on a large scale
for some time to come, nor do we expect that any mate-
rial advance of prices will be established. The large
stocks of yarns and goods yet here, coupled with the
extraordinary means of production, must naturally
keep down prices, until a great change be wrought in
the consumptive power of our home and colonial markets,
now so greatly depressed by various causes which re-
quire time and many modifying circumstances to remedy.
The only quarter to which we can look at present for a
material improvement is India, and in this direction we
can only reasonably expect a gradual revival,] as confi-
dence may gain ground, after the severe shock which
credit has sustained ‘from the exposi of the artificial
basis on which a great portion of the trade thither has,
during the last few years, been conducted. The advices
from China, at this moment, afford little encouragement
that our manufacturers will greatly supersede native
fabrics, until larger facilities be afforded for an exchange
of equivalents as between the people of that empire aad
ourselves."
The Stock Market is still droeping, the result, we
may hope, of better employment for capital out of
doors ; but, perhaps, also of the anticipation that there
will be a funding of Exchequer Bills. Consols have
realised 88} to 89k for present Transfer, and 884 to 894
for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 90* to 4, and the Three per Cents. 894 to 4.
Bank Stock has realised 200 to 202. Exchequer Bills
have reached 365. and 40s. prem.
In the Foreign Stocks the business done has been at
advanced rates in several cases. Spanish Three per
Cents. have touched 324, and the Five per Cents. 211 ;
Mexican Bonds have been 184 for Money, and 181 to
124 ; Equaelor Stock is at 34 to 31- ; Russian Bonds
have been at 1094 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
have been 544 ; and Belgian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents. 84.

The Railway Share Market looks wall again, and
there is a steady business doing.

CLOSIN,

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.

Sir,—ln compliance with the expressed wishes of
many who supported me at the late election, it is my
intention to resume the practice, which was found
useful in gone-by years at Hull, of making a weekly
report of proceedings in the House of Commons.
If my friends insisted on a statement of the general
impression made by the short session, it would pro-
bably be, that the house is composed, in greater pro-
portion than in times past, of men who have lately
attained the legal age of twenty-one years, and that
there are increasing tokens of the extent to which the
substantial determination of public questions is trans-
ferred to what a Roman might have called the comitia
prima, or to the assemblages of the community in
places of their own selection. The House of Com-
mons must always be the place where the results of
public opinion will finally be registered, but it is
every day becoming less the place where public
opinion is created and fashioned. In cases of this
kind it is not easy to say how much is cause and how
much effect; but the insuperable wearisomeness of
the debates is the phenomenon which visibly connects
itself with this transference of power. The Ministe-
rial agents and their ex-Ministerial opponents do their
office in a way than which nothing can be better. But
all beyond is a quagmire of gentle dullness, irreme-
diably hostile to the performance of any serious busi-
ness, except counting the votes after a conventional
quantity of tedious pantomime has been gone
through. Fancy, for instance, that the free-
traders had attempted to introduce their ques-
tion by way of the House of Comm-ions. Or
imagine that the Member for the West Riding,
or anybody else desirous of speaking his mind on
questions which have arisen since, had fixed on the
House of Commons as the place where his efforts
should be made. He would either not have been
heard, as indeed seems a necessary result from the
axiom that a vessel filled to the brim already, cannot
be made to hold anything more; or, perhaps, he would
have had a charge of intended assassination made
against him, as is the Parliamentary method of trying
to put down an unpleasant opponent. But the
Member for the West Riding knows a great deal
better. Not a word does he utter in the House of
Commons during the session, but he goes to Stock-
port,
and there gives vent to his misgivings that
things are not going on as they ought. And next he
calls a meeting of the men of Manchester, and of the
women too, and to them he confides his cares and
fears—the Ministerial representative sitting by, to
, carry to his colleagues his estimate of the learning of
the Lancastrian mind, and the strength with which
it is supported. There is more sense in this than in
listening to a two hours' speech from the representa-
tive of a few drunken men, whose votes are paid for.
On the whole the right key has been struck. It is
not what a Member does in the House, but what he
does out of the House, which is effective; and the
man who does his work well in one place carries the
influence of it into another. This would have been
something like treason once; but it is grown into
good popular law, and nobody thinks of resisting it.
Neither honour nor duty calls on men to do their
work in an unfavourable way, when they can do it
in a better; and if county meetings and the House of
Commons are changing places, it is the result of
causes which it is useless to oppose or to deplore.
Touching the times and mode of future correspon-
dence, there will be every opportunity for arrange-
ment ; and we shall, in all probability, fall into the
method most favourable to general objects.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
T. PERRONET THOMPSON.
