SICILY.

PARIS, MAY 9.

The Patrie of this evening publishes the follow•
ing fresh details respecting General Garibaldi's ex.
pedit ion .

" Independently of the vessel of Garibaldi, two
other steamers have left Genoa, having on board
1,400 men, consisting principally of the former
Chasseurs des Alpes, Romagnols, Lombards, and
several Genoese. A fourth vessel, it is said, left
Leghorn for the same destination as the others, and
three vessels hays started from different points, all
of which would join the division at sea. All
these vessels, in order to mislead the Piedmoutese
.authorities, had taken their papers for Malta. The
expedition is reported to be organised on a very
grand scale, being provided with arms, ammuni-
tion, provisions, and materiel for a campaign ; in
fact, with all necessary resources for sustaining a
contest of several months. The carrying out of the
expedition requires an expenditure which will ex-
ceed several millions. The subscriptions collected
in England and Italy are not considerable enough
to cover the expenses."

The Patrie asks, " Who has completely furnished
the necessary supplies of money !" and adds,
" General Garibaldi's expedition has greatly ex-
cited the attention of diplomatists."

The Opinione Nationale, in reference to Gari-
baldi's expedition, states that the general takes
with him twenty cannon.

MARSEILLES, MAY 9.

A letter from a special correspondent in Sicily,
dated the 3d inst., states that order had been mate-
rially re-established. The moral agitation con-
tinued. The arrival of two Piedmontese vessels
had created some sensation. Demonstrations were
attempted by some workmen, who were, however,
dispersed, and the leaders arrested. The insurgents
at Carini were 2,000 strong ; after the taking of
this place they dispersed over the island, and on
the 29th ult. a band surprised the village of Pe-
trala, near Cefalie. The mayor was killed, and
several of the principal inhabitants were wounded.
The insurgents were repulsed by the landowners in
arms.

The town of Cimina was surprised by another
band on the 28th ult., which burnt several houses,
and released the prisoners. A troop of the royal
forces having then arrived the insurgents were
driven from the town.

A Russian frigate, which had been lying off
Palermo, has left that port.

MARSEILLES, MAY 9.

It is asserted that General Garibaldi embarked
between Genoa and Spezzia on the night from the
6th to the 7th, with 1,800 men and 24 cannon, in
two steamers. He is said to have exchanged for
gold 3,000,000 of francs, in notes, at the Bank of
Genoa.

MESSINA (VIA MARSEILLES), MAY 6.

Tranquillity prevails, but uneasiness is produced
by the want of information as to the state of things
at Palermo. The emigration continues. The greater
pari of the troops have left Messina. Detachments
have proceeded to Calabria, but nothing is known
of what takes place in that province It was
upon the request of the ambassadors that the
state of siege was nominally raised ; in reality, how-
ever, it still continues, as the possessor of any
weapon, even a dagger, is liable to be brought before
a court-martial.

A considerable number of insurgents have dis.
embarked at Trapani.

The political aspect in general is very serious.
Foreign aid is expected. Everything appears to
indicate that a fresh rising may be expected.

TURIN, MAY 9.
The journals publish a letter from General Gari-
baldi, in which he says :
"It is the duty of all to encourage, aid, and
augment the number of combatants against oppres-
sion. It is not the insurrectionary party in Sicily
whom we are assisting, but Sicily herself, where
there are enemies to contend with. It was not I
who advised an insurrection in Sicily; but from
the moment that our Sicilian brethern threw
themselves into the struggle I considered it my
duty to assist them. Our battle cry will be,
" Italy and Victor Emmanuel !"

PARIS, THURSDAY.

The Moniteur announces that the Superior Coun-
cil of Commerce, which has been appointed to make
investigations relative to the execution of the
treaty of commerce with England, assembled on
Monday last, and will in future regularly meet on
Monday, Thursday, and Friday in each week.

VIENNA, MAY 10.

The Sardinian Government is said to have been
induced by the representations of France to recog-
nise the right of the Pope to claim eventually the
assistance of the King of Naples to maintain order
in the Papal States.

It is, therefore, asserted that if, after the depar-
ture of the French troops, the Papal army were in-
creased by Neapolitan soldiers, Sardinia would
raise no objection provided the Papal army should
not attempt the conquest of the Legations.

GENEVA, MAY 10.

England only accepts the proposed Conference
on condition of being at liberty to make any sug-
gestions which may appear to her most favour-
able for efficaciously guaranteeing the neutrality
of Switzerland.

GENEVA, MAY 9.

The Federal Council has received a note from the
French Government respecting the maltreatment
and insults which had been offered to Frenchmen
in Switzerland, and requesting that steps should
be taken for the prevention of the same.

Official inquiries have proved these allegations
of France to be absolutely false.
Arrivals of Swiss troops have taken place here
to-day, and will continue to-morrow.

ZURICH, MAY 9.

M Thouvenel, in a note addressed to the Federal
Council, complains that French subjccts have been
maltreated in Switzerland.

The Federal Council has directed a rigorous in-
vestig, .tion to be instituted upon the subject.
