MESSINA, AUG. 6.
General Clary has returned, but nothing took
place calculated to clear up the position. One
thing, however, seems certain—that the direct
negotiations between Turin and Naples are con-
tinuing. The armistice is nominally at an end, but
in reality it is prolonged to an indefinite period,
which may last for weeks, or be ended in a day.
Our preparations for further operations are not
completed ; there is, consequently, no urgent neces-
sity for resuming the offensive. This will leave
time to those who wish for negotiations. But they
had better make haste, for if they do not come to
some understanding soon they will find us all at
once on the other side, and, once in movement, ne-
gotiation will scarcely stop Garibaldi's advance.
Although willing that negotiations should take
place between Piedmont and Naples, our General
by no means intends to let his operations be in-
fluenced or retarded by them. He will wait while
it is convenient, and no longer.

I hear the Neapolitans think this rather unfair
and complain. They want to represent this evacu-
ation of Messina as a kind of concession, in return
for which Garibaldi was to wait for the issue of
negotiations. This is making a merit of necessity.
Messina must be defended from the heights, and
these once lost the town can be shelled and becomes
untenable. The original intention was to do this,
and Clary was from the beginning averse to Bosco's
expedition, his intentions being to concentrate all
his forces and defend the heights. Even when he
consented to Bosco's expedition the latter was ex-
pressly cautioned against shutting himself up in
Melazzo ; he was to fall back on Gesso, and unite
with the force which was to be collected to defend
the heights. Bosco's defeat made the defence of the
heights almost impossible, and under the circum-
stances it was wiser to think of withdrawing the
troops rather than expose a peat part of them to
be cut off. That Clary himself or the Neapolitan
Government thought so appears from the circum-
stance that the greater part of the troops
.was
withdrawn before ever our columns came in sight.
Not only the heights, but the town itself, was
well-nigh abandoned by them. The convention
with Medici referred only to the withdrawal of
the materiel and the evacuation of the forts of
Gonzaga and Salvador. The second convention,
concluded by Garibaldi himself, on the 7th inst.,
decided the evacuation of Syracuse and Agosta, and
the steamers and transports were actually sent ;
but, although the time of the armistice is past, the
evacuation has not yet taken place ; so the condi-
tion is not fulfilled. It seems that orders came to
the contrary from Naples. In no respect, therefore,
can Garibaldi be considered as bound to wait for
I the convenience of the Neapolitans, and thus lose
an opportunity which will not occur again.
Several persons who saw Clary after his return
from Naples were assured by him that in case the
Neapolitan ships should be fired upon from the
Faro he would bombard Messina and drive out our
troops. Whatever Clary's own views may be they
will not long prevail, for his successor is named—
General Fergola, whose arrival is expected daily.
Clary's conversations, which have been hawked
about the town, have had the effect of frightening
the timid and filling their imaginations with shells
and ruins. I, for my part, don't much believe in
these threats, convinced as I am that the bom-
bardment of Palermo was so severe a lesson to the
Neapolitan Government that it will not easily fall
again into the same error. Besides, before a bom-
bardment could take place the men-of-war and
merchant vessels would have to leave, and this
would give time for any one else inclined to follow
their example.
Almost every day brings vessels to the Faro with
troops and munitions of war. Although a great part
of the first are scattered in the neighbourhood of
Messina, sufficient remains to give to the town a
military appearance. In the hurry to clothe and
accoutre the troops no general pattern uniform could
be adopted, and in most cases the individual fancy
of the Commander has it all his own way. Red caps,
white caps. blue caps, with peaks and without peaks,
with the cypher of Victor Emmanuel or a bugle,
round Garibaldi hats ; gray blouses, trimmed with
red, red blouses of flannel, cotton, linen, dark-
coloured ones, or of dark-gray mixture; trousers,
equally different, give the whole force a much more
picturesque appearance than a regular uniform
would do. Indeed, you recognise the different corps
from their dress. Dark gray blouses indicate the con-
tingents of Medici and Cosenz, the difference being
in a bluer shade of the latter. Red blouses and
red caps denote Sicilian levies, red blouses and blue
caps, the brigades formed of those who remain
from the first expedition. White blouses with red
trimmings and a peakless cap, what is called the
English Battalion, from a number of English
officers and sailors who have left their ships.
For an eye accustomed to distinguish troops,
there is no necessity of the uniform to distinguish
continentals from Sicilians. The first are, almost
to a man, made soldiers, while the latter are in a
transition state. But the material exists here as
everywhere else in Italy, it requires but a little
time to make it as fit for service as any other. The
surgeons who have to visit the new-comers, are
astonished at the forms of the great mass of the
Sicilians. If the soul corresponded with the body
they might make the finest soldiers in the world.
But they require a strong mixture with the con-
tinental or northern element.
Nor is there any want of this. According to
letters from Genoa, not less than 6,000 men are
again ready to arm, and numbers more are daily
putting down their names. The Lombards have
taken the initiative, and form a large proportion
of those who come over. Above all, the towns of
Pavia and Bergamo seem to have sent off all their
youth in masses. Venetia and Austrian Tyrol are
likewise strongly represented, so is the Riviera di

musket. If this lasts, Upper
provinces which were, or are still, under Austrian
rule, will become conspicuous by their warlike
propensity. This may be of great consequence to
Italy ; it will give an altogether new turn to the
mind of those populations, and be a more power-
ful engine of regeneration than anything else
wouhticheffcecotuldonbe devised. Nor can this be with-
the rest of Italy. The example
will draw after it many who, under other circum-
stances, would never have thought of making a na-
tional crusade. Garibaldi works the right way;

town. Such an idea of an armed nation is by no
means to the taste of the Sicilians, and long discus-
sions have taken place to modify this principle. A
levy of 2 per cent. of the population was at last
fixed, and this is to be carried out this month. But
even this the Sicilians tried to shirk. The commune
bought a certain number of volunteers, and now
tries to pass them off as part of their contingent to
the levy. I need not tell you how repugnant an
idea of this kind is to Garibaldi, who, always ready
for sacrifices himself, cannot understand that any
one else should not be as well disposed. However,
he cannot entertain any illusions in this respect
now, and he sees at the same time the necessity of
leaving this country in a state of defence, in case his
star leads him further on, Messina, being the most
exposed, requires to be likewise the best prepared,
and the review this afternoon was to be a first step
to carry out the idea of a general armament. A
crowd of people had collected on the Marina near
the iron railing which marks the boundary of the
free port of Messina, but in spite of commissions
named by the Governor ad hoc, the desired division
of the first category could not be effected from want

In one word, there was the crowd, but not the re-
cruits of the first category.
As the crowd at least was there, Garibaldi
thought of addressing it and explaining; the real
nature of the measure. He went on horseback, ac-

Then,tln.ougihstn ho: dense crowd,nting, he went

into one of the neighbouring houses, and, coming
dismounting,
on the balcony, he harangued the people, tell-
ing them that when once the Country was an-
nexed to the Italian kingdom the law, in force
there would be applied here, but in the mean-
time the circumstances demanded other measures.
" If I have to leave," he continued, " I wish to
leave the country able to defend itself. It has
hitherto been the curse of Italy that the towns
and provinces have been absorbed in their local
selfishness, each thinking unduly of its own affairs.
Thus it arose that their freedom and independence
were destroyed one by one. ..t is time that the
Sicilians, as well as the rest, should see that the
only remedy is in the union and CO-operation of all.
Sicily must take her share like the rest, and the
greater the number the shorter and easier will be
the work which remains to be done. An early day
will be fixed by the Government to assemble all
1 those appertaining to the first category."
There were plenty of cheers ; we shall soon see
what they are worth.

TEE MASSACRES IN SYRIA.

(From the Correspondent of the Times.)
"YROUT, AUG. 2.
I landed this morning from the French steamer
Euphrate, of the Messageries Imperiales, which
left Marseilles on the 22d of last month; and, as
the post leaves at four o'clock this
had but little time as yet for afternoon, I have
inquiries, or to do
more than fairs acte de presence,
We had on board
the Euphrate an intendant milieu
ire, with his subor-
dinates, 19 in all, who had been
despatched to pre-
pare for the reception of the French army of occu-
pation in Syria. Colonel Osmond, of the French
staff, with whom I travelled from Marseilles to
Malta, had previously arrived, and his mission is, I
fancy, more diplomatic than military, at least for
the present. As commandant de la place at Eups-
toria during the Crimean war he
will be favour-
ably remembered in England, while the success
which followed his more recent mission to Nice
proves how well qualified he is
for the present pur-
pose. Nevertheless, it will scarcely be deemed a mis-
fortune that he should have arrived after Fuad
Pasha's departure for Damascus,
since whatever
the Turkish Minister may do
there will not be
under the influence of foreign pressure, but of his
own free will and sense of justice. In saying this
I do not allude to France in particular, but to every
foreign Power in general ; for unless the Govern-
ment of the Sultan can vindicate his authority
among his subjects without being compelled or
urgently advised to do so—unless the Porte can
exhibit independence and power
of initiative, the
integrity of the Ottoman Empire
is a mere sham,
which, for the sake of humanity
and even in the interests of the and civilisation,
Turkish populations
themselves, had better be permitted to cease. It is
therefore essential, as a measure of self-preserva-
tion, that the Porte should exercise,
or instigation from friendly States, the high prero-
gatives of sovereign power by the signal punish-
ment of all among its subjects Who, in outempt of
its authority, have been guilty of rapine and mur-
der. If I esteem it fortunate that Colonel Osmond
should not have seen Fuact Pasha, I conceive it
equally fortunate that Major 'Fraser, who arrived
here yesterday morning on a similar mission from
the English Government, should likewise not have
seen the Turkish Minister ; for before England be-
comes further pledged to maintaining. the Ottoman
Empire, or involved in measures for its defence
which may entail the sacrifice cf English treasure
and English lives, let us, in Heaven's name, have
satisfactory evidence that the sovereignty of the
Porte can be upheld for some reasonable length of
time, and that the process by which it is to be
effected is practicable and worth the cost. If not,
or if England and the Western Powers are to be
called upon to make an armed intervention—at one
time against a foreign foe like Russia, and at an-
other against internal enemies like the Moslem
