THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY.

PARIS, DEC. 2 (NIGHT.)

An insurrectionary movement took place on
the 22d ult. in some Communes of the Province
of Palermo. _ _

The Government authorities had been driven

A Deputy of the Parliament of 1848 is at the
head of the movement.

The Neapolitan Government had despatched
troops to the disturbed places.
Arrests had taken place in Palermo, but nothing
is yet known of the importance attaching to the
insurrection.

MADRID, Nov. 28.

It is untrue that the Government intend calling
50,000 men under arms. M. Mires's proposals
for a loan of 300 millions of reals are under con-
sideration. The payment of the interest of the
National Debt for the coming half-year is assured,
as also that for the month of Nove►nber. La
Epoca states that the Government have accepted
the resignations of M. Rios y Rosas as member
of the Council, and of Gen. Concha, Governor of
Cuba.

A Paris letter, dated the 30th ult., in the Nord
of Brussels, says :—" The diplomatic information
received here to-day from London and Vienna con-
firms the news of the approaching meeting of the
congress. The perseverance of France, Russia
and Prussia have ended by vanquishing the resist-
ance of the English. cabinet. The only question
for the moment is the solution of the difficulties
relative to the rectification of the frontiers of
Bessarabia. The opinion of diplomatists here is
that Russia will not make the preservation of Bol-
grad an affair of such importance as to preclude her
from giving up the town, but, of course, in return
for an equitable compensation. As to the sub-
sidiary questions of the treaty, circumstances will
decide if the plenipotentiaries are to occupy them-
selves with them in the new meeting. It is Le-

lieved that the meeting will take place at the end
of December."

The Paris correspondent of the Times (Second
Edition) says :

"It was rumoured this afternoon that the
movement in Sicily had been put down, but I do
not learn that there is any official confirmation
of the fact. General Zola, who, I believe,
commands at Palermo, sent a Swiss regiment
by sea to the place where the outbreak occurred,
and it was to take the place of that corps
that troops were despatched from Naples. The
opinion in official quarters is that the revolt,
which is said to have occurred in more places
than one, will be easily put down, if it has not
been before this.

" It is not, I believe, as yet clearly ascertained
which of the political parties began to raise the
cry, nor what has been the cry itself. There are
several parties. We have first the Separatists, who
were numerous and influential a few years ago ;
their object was less of a general than a local kind ;
they were for the separation from Naples, and
the absolute independence of Sicily. It is be-
lieved, however, that a change has taken place,
and that a more Italian spirit has penetrated the

population.
" Another party, by no means contemptible in
number or the influence of its members, was for
maintaining the union of the Two Sicilies, and the
Bourbon dynasty, with or without the abdication
of the King in favour of his son ; but on the in-
dispensable condition of re-establishing the Con-
stitution of 1848.

"A third and smaller section was for the union
of Sicily with Piedmont, under the sovereignty
of King Victor Emmanuel. This plan found
favour at Turin, and was supported by a certain
part of the press ; but it was not popular among
the Sicilians, who did not wish the island to be•
come a dependency of the Crown of Sardinia.
There is not in Sicily any one who puts forward a
claim in favour of Murat ; on the contrary, his
eause is in the greatest discredit."
