GARIBALDI's SUCCEss.-A Geographic des-
patch from our private agent gives us de-
tails from Messina TO the 22d. At that
date the greatest panic reigned among the
| military and administrative authorities. The
inhabitants were leaving in crowds to Join Gar.

beers, and the twenty thousand men of the gar

The rest had either deserted or been taken prisoners
They had left four pieces of cannon in Carl
baldls power, who, when he appeared before
Palermo, had with him upwards of 10000
men, consisting of volunteers and armed peas
ants. The capture of Palermo is announced
at the same time from Brussels, London and
Havres' offices and from these various sources
! 1t appears evident that the assertion of Carl

four hours, and mislead public impotence. Far
| from defeating Garibadi at Calataiima, Laude
| was forced into Palermo by volunteers at the
point OF the bayonet, the exasperated popula-
ton doing all they could to impede his retreat.
The remnant Of his division entered Palermo
without arms, without baggage, and i'll the
most miserable condition. Garibadi then adj
dressed another proclamation TO the Sicians,
III which he declared that if he had been aware
OF their heroism he would have landed with
out single follower. 1t is announced that
Garibaldi, being entirely master of the whole
island has been proclaimed Dictator, and 'nlnedi
atey announced that appeal scouid be made to
universal suffrage to declare on the annexation Of
Sicily to the Italian kingdom, under the sceptre Of
Victor Emanuel.
NARRATIVE OF EvENTs.-The Paris Patrle
gives the following resume OF events after Gar
ibad's landing :-"When Garibaldis volun-
teers had landed at Marsha, they occupied
themselves with organizing the different SER
vices, and placing posts of observation on all
the elevated points. In the evening column
ofplcked men made strong reconnaissance in
the direction of Trapani, and returned to the
camp after having ascertained the direction in
which the royal troops were posted. The
point for landing had been decided on for sew
eral days, but had been kept secret; it was,
however, known to all the leaders of the move
ment In the island, and during the night the
latter arrived at the camp to come to an under
next day the old hands who had taken part in
the last revolt effected their juuction with the
expeditionary corps, and it was decided that
at aybreak on the 18th they should commence
their movement. The order of march agreed
on was executed with great promptitude and
from that moment the Instruction went on in
creasing. The commandant of the royal troops
having been informed from hour to hour what
was passing, saw that he must not divide his
force; he accordingly evacuated Trapani, the
chief town of the province of that name as
well as all the intermediate points, and con.
centrated himself at Palermo, which he now
occupies. The expeditionary corps on its sides
arrived near Morriae, a large village, situated
about three miles from Palermo, and it NAV be
SAID that the instruction is master of the isl.
| and, since It's partizans occupy almost the
whole OF it. Palermo and Messna still hold
out. The first encounter between the patriots
under Garibaldi and the royast troops occur
red while the latter were concentrating them
selves upon Palermo and Messina. Gen. Landi
could not resist the vigorous attack and fled
to Palermo leaving behind him four guns, one
hundred dead, and u great many wounded
During his two days march to gain that city
he was harrassed on all sides by the population
and holly pursued by Garibaldis men,"
| MIsCELLANEoUs.-Ap proclamation of the
Sicilian Central Committee" dated May II,
says,-"The invincible Garibaldi, whom the
lying government has not dared to mention in
its proclamation, has annihilated, between Cal
atafirni and Acarno, a column of the enemy
consisting Of four thousand men" 1t also re-
ports the landing of more men from Italy, and
other victories OF the Insurgents
The London Morning Advertiser declares
that it can state, in the most positive terms,
that Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell
are in possession of facts which prove, in the
most conclusive MANNER that Louis Napoleon
has not only formed, but fully matured de-
signs which, if he be allowed to carry them
into effect, will convulse the whole of Europe,
if not plunge it into actual war; before many
months are over.
