MALrA, April 22.-The passing events Of The
, last few days are OF exciting Interest; steamers,
arriving from ports OF Sicily, discharge their Nv

" The island, and We are Low literally swsrmlng

against the troops OF Naples reached us on the
18Th inst, by the French steamer Independence,
on hoard OF which vessel arrived here The Duke
OF VsIdura, Col. Mas>a, and several members
of the Paermian Parliament, who have etiec-
ted their escape; and The celebrated Russiero
Sittimo is hourly expected by the steamer Bus-
phore.
