We request the attention OF our readers
to the dispatch from lord William Bentlck
the British. minister in Sicily, which has fa-
len into our hands, and which we publish III
order to illustrate the policy and views oi
the British government relative to the affairs
ofwhich ii treats. The blessings o(alhancs
which this letter speaks Of, Sicily has /eh
and could she be allowed 20 speak, 1t would
be in very different tone. The truth Is,
the British exercise the most execrable ty>

deedi every other country occupied by then
arms There seens to DO something IN the
national character which forb dis ;arIr exsr

contained IN his letter are peculiarly sound ,
and indicate the writer To be a statesman OF
solid mind, capable of lmPartIshy estimat"
