SICILY.

There appears to be no doubt that Garibaldi has
left Sicily, not, he )wever, for the mainland of Naples,
but for the water .s of Sardinia. He announced his
departure in the following address to the National
Guards of Messiina, delivered from the balcony of
his house :

" I am sumin oned elsewhere by my duty, and
must quit you, 0 Sicilians ! It is now time for
Sicily to think seriously and vigorously of her own
defence. Yes, -you must henceforth defend your-
selves alone against whoever may attack you! I
have done for yo u all that was possible for me to
do. At present; Italy requires that I should go
elsewhere, Dip) omacy has not been able to check
me, and I will pc)sitively not come to a compromise
with it."

It was in the -Washington that Garibaldi left,
having 1,000 men. with him.
A letter from 'Turin, dated August 17, says :
"Garibaldi came yesterday quite unexpectedly to
the Island of Mad:alena (about 10 miles west of the
north coast of Sardinia), where he took in 150 tons
of coals for the use of his steamers. With less cer-
tainty I inform you that he might perhaps have
been at Genoa la s;t night, or he may arrive there
this morning ; any, 1, in short, it is possible he may
have arrived here I st Turin to confer with an exalted

personage.
A letter in the .N ord says :—" The Calabrias have
certainly been the Ltheatre of the first hostilities in
the States of the int .inland, and at the same time of
a small advantage E rained by the Neapolitan troops.
Facts have confirme d what I before mentioned as to
the presence of Ste tcco at Reggio, where he was
engaged in organisi ng a band which was to be in-
creased by partial 1: 'tidings. The electric wire to
Baguara was cut in , the night of the Bth, and the
commandant 'at A ltaflumana was warned that
masses of the enema 7 were concentrating themselves
in the plain of Mati niti, above Cannitello, evidently
with the intention of endeavouring to render them-
selves masters of Al taflumana. This attempt was
however repelled by ' the troops, who also prevented
some invasions at C. annitello. A body of 200 men
however succeeded n landing ma another point and
penetrated into the interior of the country, where
they are closely pur, sued by the Royal troops. The
Naples official journal concludes its recital of the
above affair by pra icing the firm attitude assumed
on this occasion by 11e inhabitants of the province
and of the district o f Reggio."
The following is an extract from a Naples letter
of the 15th :—" The% news to-day is
Garibaldi has been organising
the landing of hi and superintending
a volunteers in Calabria for
the last four days without encountering opposition,
the steamer Tukery (l, ate Veloce) yesterday attempted
to cut out the Neap olitan man-of-war, Monarqne,
from the port of Ca s tellamare, and only failed for
want of files to cut t he chain cable of the anchor.
The following. are the particulars of the affair :
For twelve hours prfsviously a vessel had been seen
cruising in the roads tead and Gulf of Salerno under
the English flag, -without attracting the attention
of the coast-gupard At nightfall she was seen at
the southern ,oxtremitT of the isle of Capri. At 11
o'clock she stopped opposite the dockyard of Castel-
lamare, and lowered her boats, which were imme-
diately manned, and rowed off to the Monarque,
for the purpose of cutting her cables. All this had
been done with such expedition that the boats
reached the Neapolitrm vessel unseen by the sen-
tinels on the dock. As the sailors of the Tukery
were beginning to out the cables, the alarm was
given onboard the other vessel, and several musket
shots were fired, by which Commander Acton was
slightly wounded and two of the sailors killed. The
captain of the Tukery, having ascertained the im-
practicability of cutting the cables, returned to
his vessel and steamed off to sea. The alarm caused
by this attempt soon spread to Naples, where the
troops and National Guard were called out, and re-
mained bivouacked all night ; but their services
were not required. -While these facts were occur-
ring, the Ministry sent to Prince d'Aquila his pass-
ports, and ordered him, in the King's name, to
leave Naples the very night, the Stromboli frigate
being placed at his disposal for the purpose. The
Prince asked the general who brought the order,
what could be the motive for this extraordinary
measure, and was told that its object was to pre-
vent the effusion of blood. The Prince expressed
his astonishment, and refused to embark on any
vessel of the royal navy. As Grand-Admiral of the
Imperial Navy of Brazil, he at once sent for the
commander of a frigate belonging to his brother-in-
law, the Emperor of Brazil, which was lying in the
roadstead of Naples, and made arrangements for
the Princess, his wife, and their two sons, to go on
board that frigate, while he himself embarked is
