THE COMMANDMENT OF PALERMO.

The London Times of the Sth inst has a letter from
Palermo, dated May 81 covering entire page.
From this we extract what particularly refers to the
bombardmen of the city, and the entrance Of Carl
badi
II is D. H.. and am writing 10 you with the bomb
shells flying above my head through the air. When
the landing of Garbald produced the first fit of terror
at Naples the youthful Bourbon sent to his brave fleet
concentrated in the bay of Palermo, the order 20 bonn
bard his faithful Paermitans aud reduce their town
ashes if they should dare TO rise against his paterna
authority. The Palermitans bad been treated once
already in this paterna manner by the iutrious father
of the present sovereign, who, as you remember
figures in history as King Bomba, for having given
these souvenirs Of his love to every large town OF his
kingdom. Whoever has been in town which is
bombarded will tell you that it is very unpleasant
especially if You have not got the means OF answering
in condign manner and vet Palermo has risen this
morning. Yesterday official bulletin of the Gov
eminent announced 10 the Palernans that Garibadis
defeated bands were flying in the direction Of Cor
leone followed by the victorious troops of the King
that the bands which had joined him in Sicily GO
ing home gradually and TRANQUILITY aud that in short
time all would be over.
This morning at daybreak Garibaldi appeared at the
eastern gates of Palermo, and, after comparatively
bloodless struggle, entered them. By 10 a. m. the
greater part OF the town was III his hands, The Ne
apoltans were driven into number OF strong positions
round the Royal Palace, 10 the southwest OF the town,
and 10 the northwest toward the Mole their line of
retreat and not being able TO do anything more the
ships have opened their fire. always the last remedy.
Almost all the civilized nations have representatives of
their fleets the spot 10 witness and approve by their
presence this noble proceeding French,
American, Sandman, Austrian. none of them are
wanting. Nay, they have been kind enough 10 anchor
in a way which may not hinder the movements of the
brave Neapoan fleet. II was, indeed, reported yes
terday afternoon in the camp Of Garbald that the
British Admiral had protested against such con-
tngency. The shells which rushing through the
air in every direction clearly prove of two things
either that the Admiral did not protest. or that the
NeaPoans did not listen to his protest The first is
the more probable, for. when the loving message of
King Bomba H. reached bis faithful Lanza who had
been here twelve years ago. the message was commu-
nicated TO all the Consals, who invited all their sab
ecs 10 take refuge board the men-ofwar of their
country ana since the I'D ut. this was carried
into effect Unless therefore, fresh ms ructions have
arrived, the protest cannot be true.
