two nations, it will likely combine Austria, Ger
many and England against them; while Italy
will struggle ON for her independence. -
Sieily.-Garibaldi has besieged and taken
Palermo. Wherever he has been triumphan,
he has increased the enthusiasm Of the people
in his favor immensely, by lberalizing the gov
ernment. There is now no doubt that Sicily is
lost to Francis II. Garibaldi, it is said, would
as dictator, on the fall of Palermo, issue decree
declaring the island attached to Sardinia; sub
lject, however, to the will Of the Italian people
to be ascertained by universal suffrage Mean.
while provisional government is to be instltu
ted with fifteen of the most notable citizens Of
Sicily, and Garibaldi as president. His army if
some 40, 900 strong; and the cry everywhere Is
for United Taly.-The Neapolitan Army have
capitulated to Gen. Garibaldi, after terrible
fight. A cessation of hostilities was caused BY
the Intervention of England and France.
Sardinia.-The treaty ceding Savoy and Nice
to France has been ratifed-225 to 3S-by the
Sandman deputies. Victor Emanuel, during hi
recent tour through his newly acquired provinces
was received cordially by the clergy with ont
e1ception-Cardinal Carsi, Of Pisa, who received
him badly and afterwards renewed the offence
He has been taken to Turin to answer for hi
conduct. The people of Emilia are none thf
less his warm friends. Emanueps course has
been mild and conciliatory. He suffered the
public collection of St. Peters pence; and Baron
Ricasoli went even so far as to put stop te
the endeavors of the Waldenses to disseminate
the gospel in Tuscany. But these efforts tt
soothe the Papal party availed not; and th'
bishops lost no opportunity to show their con-
tempt of the government, until Farini, Sardin
ian minister, gave orders for their arrest Thlt
vigorous and decisive movement throw the "tim
orous flock" into confusion. Cardinal Prela
whose seat was at Bologna, having died recently
the Pope will appoint new archbishop, while
the Sardiuian cabinet, as an exercise Of its new
ly acquired sovereignty, will appoint an admin
istrator.. Thus the matter will be brought to ar
issue, and the priests of the now vacated diocese
will have to decide for the Pope, or for Victor
Emanuel. -
Austria.-Austria has offered to make some
concessions to Hungary. This may be owing tt
the fact that she wishes to conoilate the Ma
gyars, preparatory to the invasion of Lombardy
which Austria has threatened to do, if the king
of Naples compelled to fly from his dominions
Austria is now between two sharp fires. She ii
anxious to preserve the Neapolitan government
and, therefore, disposed to make Sardinia, Oh
Lombardy, accountable for the misdeeds Of Carl
baldi in Sicily. She is, therefore, harassed BY
the Sicilian insurrection. On the other hand, i
she invades Lombardy before Hungary is paciied
the magyars will inevitably revolt Even nov
letters from Pesth say: "Garibaldi's expedition
has produced much political agitation and uni
Tersal sympathy. Hungary appears to be ol
the point of breaking out into open revolution
The Croatians are also ready to rise and throw
off Austrian rule. We are on the eve Of grea
events" y
England.-The ultimatum Of England ant
France to China, demands an apology for tn,
Peiho affair; tho restoration Of the guns ant
ships lost on that occasion; the ratification o
the Pekin treaty, &c.; all of which are refused
by the Chinese government. All hopes, then
are dispelled of an amicable settlement. Wa
is the consequence. In the difficulty between
Russia and Turkey, growing out Of the condition
of the Christians in the latter country, England
together with Austria and Prussia takes side!
against Russia, with France on her side.
Japan.-Extensive rumors have been circula
ted to the effect that the Tycoon of Japan was
murdered on the 18th March but they appear
to have little or no foundation. The schooner
Page, Capt. Morehouse, brought the news ovel
to San Francisco, where it was published in tht
Aha Californian. The rumor was afterwart
corrected by the statement that the Prime Min
lister, instead of the Tycoon was assassinated b.
fourteen Japanese disguised as travellers. Th'
Page, which brought the news, made the trip il
20 days. So We may now have monthly accounts
from this remote part Of the world, as another
evidence, added to others accumulated beyond
number, of the widespread state of amelioratior
which markst the present age.
