THE WAR IN SICILY.

It was believed in Paris yesterday that hostili-
ties will not be resumed at Palermo. The autho-
rities are engaged in devising the means for pre-
venting the further effusion of blood.
It was on the 30th of May that General Letizia,
delegated by General Lanza, met Garibaldi on
board the Hannibal, English man-of-war, and de-
clared that he was charged to demand an armistice.
The conditions which he proposed were :

1. The retention of their respective positions by

both parties.
2. Liberty to attend to the wounded, and to
remove them on board the fleet.

3. Permission to supply provisions to the Hos-
pital for the poor.
4. That the municipality should address to the
Royal Commissioner a petition for the con-
cession of such reforms and institutions as
might be necessary for the country.
The first points were consented to by Garibaldi
without difficulty; but he peremptorily rejected
the fourth, and the conference was broken off.
Nevertheless, hostilities did not recommence on the
following day, and the armistice, which was fixed
to terminate to-day, was still under discussion.

The Patrie of yesterday says that, according to
the latest despatches, nothing had changed at
Palermo. The capitulation had not yet been
signed. Garibaldi had constituted a Ministry, and
had appointed a governor of Palermo and of the
province. He had likewise ordered an extraordi-
nary levy, and had issued many decrees for ener-
getically carrying on the war. One of Garibaldi's
proclamations threatened with heavy punishments
those who should commit thefts or assassinations,

A letter from Turin, in the Siecle, states that M.
Canofari, the Neapolitan Minister at the Court of
Piedmont, seems to perceive that the affairs of his
Government are in a very unsatisfactory state, and
that he is not likely to remain long in his post, as
he is selling off his furniture.

It is reported that during the negotiations about
the armistice General Letiza proposed to take the
opinion of the senate of Palermo, and that Garibaldi
answered, " I am the Senate."

The following telegram has been received from
Turin, dated the Gth inst. :

" GENOA, JUNE 6.

" General Letizia, who was the bearer of orders
to General Lauza not to treat with Garibaldi, but
rather to destroy the town, left again for Naples
on Sunday. It is believed his mission is to make
representations caused by numerous desertions, and
on the refusal of the troops to fight."

We have been favoured with the following from

Messina :

" MESSINA, JUNE 2.

"We are expecting every moment news of the
fall of Palermo. Yesterday a Royal steamer came
in from Catania, bringing the remnant of the
garrison of that place, whence we conclude that all
was up with the Royalists there. Here all is per-
fectly quiet, but commerce is not thought of.
-exchange, 60."

ROME, JUNE 7.

The Baron Constantin Bardini has been ap-
pointed Minister of Commerce and Public Works,
in place of Monsignor Amici, who remains in the
Cabinet without a Portfolio.

PARIS, THURSDAY.

BOURSE, June 7.—Threes have been quoted to-
day ex-div. The opening prices showed an advance
to 68f 65c, but they afterwards declined to 68f 40c.
A rise of 3f per sack on the flour at yesterday's
Hale aux 11les, had also a depressing effect on
speculation. Mobilier varied from 667 f 50c to 665 f;
Lyons, 875 f to 873 f 75c; Orleans, 1,332 f 50c:to 1,333 f
75c ; Northern, 977 f 50c to 980 f; Austrian, 512 f
