in searching for corpses or valuables amongst the
wreck. The insurgents have withdrawn in the di-
rection of Monreale. AT this latter place another
struggle had taken place on the same day. Here
the insurgents were in considerable force and well
entrenched. The royalists, for some hours, made
great efforts to disodge them chiefly by throwing
shells into the town, but at last were attacked and
driven back with considerable losses On the next
day, General SalzanO dispatched 5000 fresh troops

General Salzano left Palermo at nightfall. and en-
camped outside the gates. On the next dav-the
lSth-he attacked the insurgents at six o'clock in
the morning. The cannon could be heard from
that time until moon, and the troops repeatedly
attempted assault. But the insurgents success
fully defended all their entrenched positions, and
finally the troops had to withdraw. In the mean
time the leaders of the insurgents had received in
formation of additional forces having left Palermo
and thought it precarious to hold the place any
longer SO they resolved to spare the little town
the fate awaiting it in of successful assault
on the part of the troops, and fell back on billy

reae was taken, pilaged and sacked, as usual, and
all the villas in this place OF recreation for the Pal

spot, popularity described bacin dor conca

however, had been the losses on the previous day

ties that it had to return the next day to Palermo

On the same day, General Catado attacked Car
mi with 1000 men, which little town, twelve miles
west of Palermo, was held by between 1000 and
5000 insurgents. The fight which took place must
have been terrible The troops buried 800 of their
own number, and $50 of the insurgents the spot,
that least ten per cent othe latter fell before
they retired. There was no pursuit, but the town
was sacked and piaged by the troops in a really
satanic fashion, their officers setting them the

surgents who had held Monreale and the same regi-
ments which had attacked it, came once more to
close quarters, the latter having issued again from
Palermo. The encounter took place at AlcamO,
and ended in the defeat of the troops who lost two
pieces of cannon. Another column of troops which
had advanced in the dir ection of Coalu along the
coast, on the 3d. fell back upon Termini, without
a combat, having found the country covered with
dense masses of well armed patriots These last
days three Sandman men-of-war have made their
appearance in the Sicilian waters, near Messina,
and near Palermo; the names given the Gov

longer any communication by post telegraph
with the island. The government vessels are rot
allowed to carry dispatches from foreign con-
sus. All we hear is orally transmitted and by
stealth The movement of troops on the Roman
frontier continues. The headquarters have been
transferred to Aquila. The King, after the late
review treated g. 900 officers and soldiers at his eX
pense but have heard that they were yery dis
contented with the fare.
MARsEuLEs, April 80, lS60-Letters from Naples
the 2Sth inst, confirm that Carini had been taken
by assault after three days fighting. The town had
suffered greatly. The government states only few
hundred insurgents remain to be pursued. Letters
affirm, however, that the supplies of provision to
the towns had often been intercepted. The recent
struggles had caused great excitement The details
are still contradictory.
''May Letters from Naples to the 24th ult.,
state that of peaceful character had been
received from Sicily contradicting that which had
arrived by way of Tarin."
GENOA, May !, lS6O.-Advices have been
ceived from Naples to the 18th ult., which state
that the Electrico had arrived at Naples from
Palermo, bringing families of the military. The
insurgents were meditating an attempt on Palermo.
A column which left Messina the goth April,
was engaged in serious combats with the insur-
gents the 2lst and 22d, at Galati, which town
was destroyed. The royal troops fell back
upon Messina. Another column, under the COM
mand of General Letizia, had left Palermo in
der to subdue Trapani. 1t was supported by two
frigates.
DIsGRAcEFUL ACTS OF ENGLIsHMEE.
On the night of the 4th instant, ost disgrace
full scene occurred in the Great Mosque, in Cairo,
Egypt, which has led to the closing of the Mosque
of Cairo against Europeans. The English. Indian
and Australian travellers, their way through
Cairo to SueZ, took the opportunity of visiting the
Great Mosque built by the late viceroy, Moham-
med Ali. During the Ramadan it is illuminated,
and being the anniversary of the death of the
founder, who lies inferred there, his son, the
vicerov, present in state. Some Of cOun-
trymen having previously INDUCED in ''potatons
potte deep" presented themselves at the door of
the mosque in ANYTHING but state Of SObrietv, and
having been admitted with every possible courtesy
repaid it first by obtruding themselves into the
vice-rega circle, where they amused themselves by
mimicking the deryishes and others who were per-
forming the rites of uheir religion, around the
tomb of the founder, and then proceeding to DEM
onstrate, by all the means in their power, their
contempt for Moslem religious observances This
naturally incensed the congregation, and that to
such extent as to attract the attention of the
Vicerov, who sent his equerry. MOhanmed Beg,
to eXpoStulate and to request them to remember
that they were in place dedicated to the service
of God, and that they ought either to behave with
becoming decency and propriety or Withdraw, as

the excited fanaticism of his subjects His recon.
mendaton was inSolently disregarded, and the
irritation assuming threa tenng aspect, Moham-
med Beg was obliged to surround the party by
canvasses In order at to protect and get them
out of the mosque. An English lady was foremost
in this disgracefui affair. The conduct of the
Indian cadets cannot be otherwise designated than
