pleasant enough for all Christmas purposes, and
the day appeared to be gloriously celebrated
everywhere. The Juveniles were glorious with
fire crackers and the other gm-crack donations Of
generous Old Santa Claus; the family folks had
happy times with turkey and other things at the
home tables; and the bachelors and other cosmo
politans swigged it around town galloriously,'

IrALy.-The siege of Gaeta continued at last ac-
counts, and there were reports of great dearth
of provisions in the fortress. Letters from thence
to the 9th November state thaS the fire Of the be-
siegers had slackened. There was talk OF burn
ing the suburbs on account of their shelterng the
Piedmontese from the fire of the garrison.
King Victor Emanuel arrived at Palermo on the
morning Of the lst inst, and was received with ex-
traordinary enthusiasm. The people wished to de-
tach the horses from his Majesty's carriage and
to draw it through the streets. The people assem-
bled from all parts of Sicily, and the number present
in the city was estimated at 100000 His Majesty,
before descending at the Palace, went to the Ca
thedral, and was solemnly received by the Arch
bishop of Palermo The King afterwards received
the constitutional bodies and deputations from the
municipalities Of Sicily. On the Sd inst. he issued
a proclamation to the sicilians in which he prom
ises to establish institutions for promoting public
morality and to respect the privileges of the scian

sion last night. You will see by the resolutions
upon adjournment that Secession has already
passed, virtually. The ordinance for it, in due
form, is now with the Committee, and may or may
not be reported and acted on to-day. The Seces-
sion aciN be immediate; but after it is done, Z
think wise and prudent councils win prevail, and a
collision with the Government be avoided for the
present. The sense of the substantial part Of the
Convention is to preserve peace, if it can be done
honorably, or if war is to come, to fix the re-
sponsibility on the General Government; but il
it does come, than let it be war to the knife.
l think see way by which peace can be pre-
served without prejudice to our position-at leas
until after several new States have withdrawn
but have not space to explain it.
