The REVOLUTION IN SICILY AND NAPLES
From Milan we have the most deplorable ac-
counts of the continued excuses of the Aus
trans, personal persecution and the system of
arbitrary arrest being practised by the police
without any legal remedy. sss
The papers are filled with accounts of this
Revolution. Among the engagements which
took place between the troops and the people
the most obstinate was on the troops of the
Mole endeavoring to put themselves in com.
munication with the palace. 1t was at the

by the Kings troops on the l4th; and, on the
18th, the bombardment continued, and shells

cease firing.
At length brief suspension of hostilities
was agreed upon. During this short respite,
the French consul embarked the French resi-
