Mazzini who during the last year was complete
" superseded by the Franco-sardiniaA alliance,
the conquest of Lombardy, and the annexation OF
Central Italy and Tuscany, has recently turned all
his activity upon the South of Italy. AT Naples
he has clandestine press; in Sicily he has sue
ceeded in stirring up a general rising. Though
the official accounts from Naples have repeatedly
declared that the instruction was crushed at
once, we know that up TO the 18th inst. such was
not the case. At Palermo, indeed, where the
meeting of the conspiratOrs in the monastery Della
Gaucia was betrayed on the 4th by friar, the IN
surgents assailed by all the garrison, had to yield

The main land At Mcssina the struggle was less
obstinate, Gen. Russo having threatened to bonn

there besieged the garrison. The troops at Ira
pan seeing that they were unable to Withstand the
insurgents, capitulated at once, and the priyates
too and Trapani are in the hands of the Sicillan
people: but unless rising in the Calabrias or the
Abyl2zi should keep the greater part Of the Nea-
pohlan troops the main land, poor Sicily cannot
hope to succeed. The Count of Syracuse, uncle 10
The King, has written letter to bis royal nephew,
advising him to exchange the Austrian alliance Tor
q hearty cooperation with Victor Emanuel, a llb-
cra and truly Italian policy alone being now re-
qured TO save the dynasty. The publication of
this letter excited the pOpulace of Naples to such
degree that Ajossa, the notorious Minister of PO-
ice, had TO Danish and to imprisOn a score of no.
blemen, among whom were the sonin-law and the
two grandsons of the Prime Minister, Cassaro.
Though il is entirely impossible to get correct in

We know enough to assert with certainty that Ma

the Carlst General, Eln, was pardoned as a
~ known enemy of the Queen who hadneyer taken the
oath Of allegiance 10 her. Foreign journals COM

too had risen at the head of their regiments against
The Government. These WRITER'S however, pay no
attention TO The great difference between the two
eases, Oriega's attempt being an attack upon the
Queen, while Dulcc and O'Donnel rebeled only

Isabella. The Pretender and his brother have like
