In a journal published at Palermo. under the auspices
of the Provisional .Innta, is a long and spirited reply to
an address from the Vicar-General of Naples. Aftet
enumerating the degradation and hardships which Sicily
had endured from the domination of Naples, it avows
the fixed determination of the Sicilians to maintain their
independence, and implores his Royal. Highness not to
abandon himself to imprudent or disastrous measures,
nor disgrace by such means the first steps which the
Neapolitan nation is waking in the glorious career of
liberty.
A strange spirit seems to be seising the soldiery of
foreign countries! In Piedmont the army baring heard
that Lis Sardinian Majesty had been soliciting a see-
your of Austrian troops, has sent, it is said, a iwn-suf-
france to the King, in which they plainly tell him that
to ask the assistance of Austrians would be an insup-
portable insult to the honour of his soldiers, who boast
that they are 'efficient for the defence of the throne, the
country and the constitution.
We 'hare much pleasure in being able to state, 'that
his Majesty has been graciously pleased to attend to the
humane recommendation of the Jury by whom the un-
fortunate Mr. Richard Templeton was lately tried in
this Island ; and that the sentience of deatlinassed upon
him has been commuted to transportation fer life. This
we see the good effects, even in extreme cases, of previous
good conduct and repntation.—(Dmagless Garotte.)
The quantity of rain which has fallen in the isle of
Mae during the last seven days has been very conside-
rable, anti in many places has don. injury to the beery
corn crops. This rain has beta amasaipaoied by some
boisterous weather, which still impedes the progress of
our herring fishery, the prospects notwithstanding coo-
Statie flattering, and the small quantities taken are of
excellent qualrty.,{chid.)
