SICILY.--PROCLAN!ATION °FYNE LIRUTZNANT-O'INERAL

" Head-quarters, Me.sina, Oct. 2, !sit.
44 The enemies of the repose of mankind, the op.
prer,:rs of Europe, having found useless all their at-'
tempts to disseminate discord, and loosen those bonds
of reciprocal good-will and confidence, which for a
course of six years have so happily existed between
the inh ibitants of Sicily, and in general the faithful ,
subjec ;sof his Majesty Ferdinand IV. on the one hand,
and the army of his Britannic Majesty, sent hither for
their pmtect ion and defence, on theother ; have at length
had recourse to the weak and despicable expedient of
again circulating, in a secret and clandestine manner,
the insidious address of the 22d May, 1810, framed
in order to delude, and sent over as the boasting pre-
cursor of their threatened conquest of this island, the
ill-fated result of which attempt is still fresh in every
one's memory.
46 As this document is vague and contradictory, its
principles being in direct opposition to the daily prac-!
tice of the enemy, whose acts of tyranny, rapin anal
oppression on the epporite coast of Calabria, and
throughout the whole kingdom of Naples, ate well
known, it would not meet the least notice, were it net
to prove to our friends and allies that we are vigi-
lant and prepared against these and similar artifices
to which the common enemy has recourse, in the vain
hope of disturbing the public tranquillity.
44 Let those, then, listen to this address who are
I willing to become the dupes of French deceit : let
I those listen to it who can consent to be dragged in
chains, as Conscripts, to the remotest extremities of
Europe, to recruit the ranks of the enemy, and sacrifice
their lives in support of their oppressors ; while their
families, their homes, their country; and all that is dear
to man, are abandoned to the discretion of their
tyrants,. and subject to every kind of violati,aa."

Mr. Grum-rim seconded thi motion.

Mr. S. DIXON said, although it was•desirable that
a vote of the nature of th 3 present should be tunusi-
mous. there was one thing in, the motion to which he
would never give his assent.—One of the reasons f. r
voting the thanks was stated t) be hospitality in en-
tertaining the Members of this_Court.
After some conversation this clause was agreed to
be left out, and the motion passed unanimously.
