(From the Times.)
We publish to-day news which will gladden the
heart of every friend of liberty in Europe. The
insurrection in Sicily is fully, and we trust finally,
victorious ! Palermo has been taken by Garibaldi
after a terrible struggle. The Neapolitan troops,
after being driven from position after position,
have at last capitulated, and are to embark on board
the King's vessels with the.usual honours. Gari-
baldi is now master of the island. In a few days at
furthest the feeble garrisons which have been left
in some other of the towns on the coast will be
forced to surrender, and Francis H. will be finally
dispossessed of Sicily. Though believing that it was
imp .ssible to retain the island under Bourbon
domination, we had hardly looked for success so
speedy and so complete. In little more than three
weeks from the landing of the Italian chief with a
handful of men this beautiful and long oppressed
island is free, and another heavy blow has been
given to the fabric of despotism which is tottering
to its fall in Southern and Central Europe. Such
a feat of arms has seldom been related in history.
We have seen so many failures of late years—so
many men have sprung forward in the name of
liberty and nationality to accomplish great things,
have been found wanting in the day of trial, and
then fallen for ever, that lookers-on may naturally
be slow to offer their confidence and admiration to
a revolutionary leader. But Garibaldi has taken
his place in history as one of the most extraordi-
nary military commanders that this century
has produced. He is no longer to be reckoned
among those who are aspiring to a great name, who
give promise of great achievements, but respecting
whom the world must suspend its judgment. His
reputation is made, his position is taken, though
we hope that his work is not yet done. That
genius for war which was first shown in the siege
of Rome, and which bewildered the Austrians last
year by its vigour and audacity, has now broken
up the Neapolitan kingdom, and will end doubt-
less in giving liberty to the whole of Southern
Italy. Henceforward Garibaldi will receive not
only the sympathy but the full confidence of all
who are interested in the Italian cause. He has
shown the difference between foolhardiness and
that boldness which, based on accurate calculations,
is the highest triumphs of military genius. When
he landed with his 1,500 men at Marsala he did
that which might have exposed him for ever to
obloquy as a hot-headed enthusiast. He endangered
all his past reputation. He abandoned a political
position in the Sardinian monarchy which might
have contented any man, and began an enterprise
which many of those who sympathised with it
most deeply looked upon as desperate. It now
appears that Garibaldi knew his own powers, the
temper of the Sicilian people, and the weakness of
the Royal authority. The struggle is over, and
the tyrants who but one month ago tortured and
slaughtered the Sicilians with impunity are now
driven from the island, and may perhaps be brought
to justice even in the capital of the monarchy.
It is of little use for us to attempt to follow
the military operations by which this astonishing
success has been achieved. The news given in the
despatches is too meagre, and we trust before long
to be able to lay before our readers a detailed and
trustworthy narrative from a well-known corre-
spondent. But the main points appear to have been
as follows :—By the 26th of May Garibaldi had
entirely cleared the country about Palermo of the
King's troops. The battle of Monreale, impu-
dently represented by the official accounts as a vic-
tory, had been a most complete defeat, and had been
followed by the retirement of the troops into the
town and the investment of the place by the Sici-
lians, who, though insufficiently armed and desti-
tute of cannon, were numerous and elated by their
success at Calata Fimi and Monreale. At 4 o'clock
on the morning of Sunday, the 27th, Garibaldi made
a sudden attack on the north side of the town, a dis
trict called Peperito. A fierce combat ensued, which
lasted for two hours, and ended in placing Garibaldi
in possession of this part of the place. No sooner
was this accomplished than the inhabitants rose in
mass, attacking the troops with every weapon
which chance could supply. Two or three hours
more sufficed to give the people possession of the
whole town, and the troops retired into the citadel.
Then followed the brutal outrage on which we
commented on Saturd iy. The garrison being
driven out of the town, the Neapolitan squadron
began to bombard it. During the whole of Sun-
day afternoon and through great part of the
night the ships threw shells into Palermo, the
town was set on fire in many places, a number
of buildings were destroyed, and no doubt the loss
of life among the inhabitants was considerable. On
Monday Garibaldi stormed the citadel. It appears
that on the previous day a park of artillery was
captured, and no doubt the Sicilians were by this
means better enabled to operate against the refuge
of the soldiery. Of the details of the last conflict
we know nothing. It must have gone hard with
General Lanza, however, for he determined to
capitulate. The transaction was arranged on board
her Britannic Majesty's ship Hannibal. We pre-
sume it is stipulated that the army which has capi-
tulated shall not be landed at any other point in
Sicily, but, at all events, Garibaldi, with the capital
of the island in his hands, and with a people at his
back flushed with victory, may now bid defiance to
any efforts of the Neapolitan Court.
Perhaps such a capitulation is the happiest mode
of terminating the struggle. We do not doubt that
Garibaldi is willing to hurt as little as possible the
feelings of the King's troops. Those who were the
enemies of yesterday may be the friends of to mor-
row. One account says that during the battle in
the town three regiments went over, and it may be
that the army which was employed to keep down
the Sicilians will shortly endanger its master's
throne. After all, Neapolitans are Italians, soldiers
are men, and there cannot be a high-spirited officer
in the King's service who does not look with more
sympathy on Garibaldi than on a Lanza or a
Salzano. We may conclude that, as far as regards
Sicily, the contest is nearly at an end. Messina must
soon fall, and then the island, placed under a Pro-
visional Government,with Garibaldi at its head, will
be an independent Power in Europe. What will be
the acts of the Dictator we have yet to learn, but
it is not likely that he will sit down in quiet, or
think anything done while anything remains to do.
The man who, like a Norman adventurer of old,
made his descent with two shipfulls of followers
and conquered a kingdom in three weeks, is hardly
likely to settle down now that he rules a population
of more than 2,000,000, and has the spoils of the
Neapolitan Arsenals with which to equip the levies
who will join him. We may certainly look for some
stirring events on the mainland. Italy is in such a
state that boldness is the best and, indeed, the only
possible policy. The Royal party at Naples is panic-
stricken, and the discontent of the people, roused
into fury by the news from Sicily, may anticipate
any movements of Garibaldi. It may be that as we
write King Francis has been driven from the domi-
nions which his family have cursed. It may even
be that the Neapolitan troops, ashamed of their dis-
grace and of the cause they serve, will follow the
example of the Tuscan and Modenese armies, and
bring the tyranny of the Bourbons to an end. But,
even if these events do not take place, we feel pretty
sure that Garibaldi will follow up his victory. His
presence in Calabria now would be the signal for an
insurrection as fierce as that which has broken out
in Sicily. With 5,000 men such as stormed Palermo
he might march from the Straits of Naples in a
month.

(From the Morning Post.)

Very strange is the contrast exhibited at the
present moment between the military struggle of
which Sicily is the scene and the religious hostility
caused by the attitude of the Romish Church in
Central Italy. In the name of civil freedom az
national independence great efforts have been made,
and great successes have been achieved, the most
signal being the capture of the Sicilian capital ;
and the patriotic leader, to whose moral influence
and warlike daring these successes are mainly due,
is, of all living Italians, the man most opposed to
the power and pretensions of the Papacy.
In the name of Catholic rights and clerical privi-
lege, the chief members of the Romish prelacy in
the new dominions of King Victor Emmanuel
`are endeavouring to sap the foundations of that
Monarch's throne, and it is' but the natural conse-
quence of their intrigues that the Italian people
universally regard, and the Sardinian Government
is compelled to treat, them as rebels to their country
and their King. The guerilla chieftain, who has just
entered Palermo in triumph, looks on the Papacy
as the plague spot of Italy, or, rather, as a gnawing
and consuming cancer that preys upon its vitals
and eats away its strength. The mitred conspirator
of Pisa, now forcibly conducted to the Sardinian
capital, regards Italian liberty as an evil spirit, to
be banned and exorcised by bell, and book, and can-
dle, by the sprinkling of holy water, and the perfor-
mance of solemn rites. Both may be taken as Italian
representative men in 1860. But whilst the Pre-
late is only the latest reproduction of a type, never
waiting at any period in the purple oligarchy of
the Vatican, the patriot General is a figure, reap-
