TRANSACTIONS AT PALERMO.

A letter reeeived on Saturday from Palermo, and
dated Jnly 26, devolves %NMe further particulars of the
dreadful transactions that took place there between the
14th and 20th of that month, which we subjoin fur the
information of our readers:—

"Among the public buildings and houses which fell a
prey to the fury of the populace on the 16th, were the
Register-office. the Statopirifice, the Intendant's-o6lee,
the Navigation-office, the Gambling-house. the house
of the Minister of Finance (Marquis Ferrari), and
several soh Ts of less note. All the papers, docu-
ments, furniture, and valuables belonging to the public
°Sees and prirateihouses were throw, into the streets
and burnt."
The following is a part of the account given of the
first attach by the troops on the people
About six is'eloek, A. Al. on the 17th, the people
having again collected, shout 2000 troops, of which
5410 were cavalry, entered the principal gate of she tits
from the Royal palace, prepared for immediate action.
A number of.respectable individuals, who hem* thil
cossequesers of this step, attempt's, to prevail on the
commander of the troops to retire, but it would appear.
(as has since transpired), that he had positive orders
from the Viceroy to attack the people, and to compel
them to give op their arms. The fighting immediately
commenced, and continued with little intermission till
half-past 2P. M. when the troops were rooted in every
direction. The confusion at this time in the city cannot
be described; a wpalace of full thirty thottsand armed
Men, running about and committing all kinds of ex-
cesses; the ringing of the whole of the hellsof the city
for victory ; the rolling of cannon, and the firing of
muskets, altogether was such a scene as boa may never
hope again to witness. On the filth a Provisional Go-
vernment was formed, consisting of ten of the principal
dohilitv, ten citizens, and the seventy-two consuls of
the dilterent trades. A deputation sails this evening
fo'r Naples, in order to nepociate the independence of
the island, as the Sicilians will not listen to being made
a province of Naples."
A letter from Naples, of the recent flat' of the oth
instant, states, that the deputation from Palermo, con-
si‘ting of eight members of the Provisional Junta, to
negotiate for the independence of Sicily. returned on
the 6th, with a refusal on the part of the Neapolitan
Government.
