LIVERPOOL, August I2.-Intelligence
has been received from Sicily, which we
regret To say, is of an extremely tragicai
nature, though the details are so imper.

nothing more Than an outline of the Ca.

tanned, that the Sicilans, in acceding
10 Tie new form OF government about to
be established in Naples, have expressed
Wish to accompany that revolution BY
proclamation of their independence OF
that kingdom. They were willing, how
ever, To receive any member of The ROYAL
family OF Naples for their sovereign. The
Neapollfan government, not calculating
on the extent 10 which this spirit was pre-.
valfnt III Sicily, had proceeded To pro-
Claim The new constitution al Palermo

plorable consequences. The number OF
Killed and wounded OH both sides, ac-
cording 10 The accounts received, exceed
ed Two thousand. The party which

prince on The 18Th ult. with the attendant
ceremonies, and amidst universal demon.
STATIONS OF Joy from the population of
Naples. in the evening Of the same day,
about 800 Of the Farnese regiment, who
had previously manifested symptoms Of
disconieni with the excess OF duty, sud
denly broke out into mutiny, and COM
menced their march out Of the city, with
The view, as was supposed, of occupying
some Of the strong posts in the vicinity.
Prompt orders we're, however, immedi.
aiely issued, and the disafecicd troops
yer. we're pursued by a regiment of cavalry.
they were overtaken in the suburbs, aud
an action commenced, in which SO, some
accounts say 100, of the disafectcd
troops we're killed, and many wounded.
Tie remainder who were brought back
prisoners, were TO be decimaied, aud eve
rs tenth man shot. This affair, il 10 said,
being wholly distinct from feelings of
political nature, does moi affect ihe gene
raj cause, and has produced no abatement
OF confidence.
