The InsurrectiOn In sfchS'
English papers to the 10th instant contain
late telerraphic dispatches from Palermo
which report no change in the Condition oi
affairs. The capitulation had not been sign
ed, and nothing positive was known as TO the
armistice. According to some dispatches II
was prolonged indefinitely, while Others state
il was to terminate on the 18th or the 18th IN
slant Garibaldi had constituted ministry,
and had appointed Governor OF Palermo
and of the Pro 7ince, He had likewise Of
dcred an extraordinary levy, and had issued
many decrees for energetically carrying on
the war. One of Garibaldis proclamations
threatens with heavy punishments those who
should commit theft or assassination.
A Paris telegram says it was believed that
hos.ilities would not be resumed at Palermo
The authorities were engaged in deylslng the
means for preventing the further eifusion OF
blood. 1t was on the 30th of May that Gar
ibaldi went on board the Hannibal British
man-of-war to meet the Neapolitan delegate,
charged to demand an arinistice. The con-
ditions we're: First The retention of their re-
spective positions by both parties. Second,
Liberty to attend to the wounded, and to re-
move them on board the fleet. Third, Per
mission to supply provisions to the hospital
for the poor. Fourth, That the municipality
should address to the Royal Commissioners
petition for the concession of such terms
and institutions as might be necessary for the
country. The first three points were consen-
ted to by Garibaldi without difficulty, but he
pcremptoriy refused the fourth, and the con-
ference was broken off. Nevertheless, hostll-
tiles did not recommence on the following
day, and the amistice, which was fixed to
terminate on that day, was still under discus
sion.
Full and graphic details of the early pro-
cecdings of Garibaldi are published in the
London Times, and that Journal deduccs from
them that the present month will witness the
final overthrow of bourbon aathoril in Sic
lily.
An English steamer had arrived at Marsa-
la from Queenstown, conveying sixty volun-
teers, four thousand rifles, and 81 900 for
Garibaldi. Additional recruits from Genoa
and elsewhere, with arms and ammunition,
had also landed in Sicily. Letters from Tu-
rim assert that the Sardinian Government will
have to support Garibaldi, and therefore 60
to war with Naples, or it will have to put
down an inSurrection at home, so excited is
public opinion becoming in Piedmont. 1t
was reposted that, as a kind of half measure,
Cavour was about to send commissioner ex-
traordinary to Sicily. Orders had also been
given to prepare for sea all the men-of-war at
Genon and Spezzia. .
The paris correspondent of the Morning
Chronicle says that, according to one account,
the Emperor, in response to the letter of the
King of Naples demanding his Interference,
has required detailed account ofthe reforms
which,thc King Of Naples may be disposed to
accord his subjects, as a preliminary to his
making any move in the matter.
According to another. account, his Imperi-
al Majesty has intimated that he could not al
low his Government TO take any step without
first consulting with his allies, particularly in
Guiding the King of Piedmont.
The King of Naples not only addressed
the Western Powers, but also invoked the
simultaneous Intervention of the five great
Powers, particularly calling upon them to
employ their authority to restrain Piedmont
from favoring any revolutionary movement
on the mainland of Naples. The English
Government is said to have promptly replied |
that it did not intend TO interfere in any 9TH |
er way than to stop, if possible, the cffision
of blood, without siding with either party
Lord John Russell, however, promised to re-
commend Piedmont not to foment any dis
turbanccs in the Neapolitan possessions in
the Peninsula. All the Powers are understood
to have declined, in more or less positive
terms, any direct intervention.
