in Caiabrla, L province on the main land, only
separated from Sicily by the Strait OF Mes

others, is said to have taken place at AbruZ-

A report is also current that the French ex-
perimentai quadrOn is about to leave for Ma

pondent OF the Constitutional, writing from
''MarseiIls, 10 Mai" states that there was a
tremendous excitement at Naples, and the
wealthy people We're concealing their jewels
ana vaiua5les OF every description-that Il
s.e-mar had come from Palermo with two
hu. ired fugtiyes. On the 10th inst. a crowd
nam beriEg $4,000 people, had assem- bled in this
village. Although the assemblage was quer,
the police had killed or wounded six persons.
4 shOwer OF flowers were thrown from the
balconies as the procession moved on. The
next day four of the agents of police were
found poniarded. The Commandant of the
place and the Director of Police were at the
point of death.
The letter further states that the insurgents
were very numerous, and their line extended
the whole dis stiIce between two villages, from
Traponi to Moreali, and that although the
latter village was still in the hands of the
Royal troops, il had to sustain no less than
four attacks on the 10th inst. The Nea-
politan soldiers were beginning to be discour-
aged, having fought on the same ground for
thirty-eisht hours. They would not believe
at Palermo in the disembarking of Garibaldi,
but expec ted aid TO be sent them from the
