EDITOR M1ss1ss1ppr4S / promised in my
last communication to notice the marvellous
exploits Of Garibaldi in behalf Of the liberation
Of the two Sicilies from the infamous and de-
graded dynasty of Bourbons, whose exercise
of despotic power over the fairest land OF
earth, has destroyed the individual and poll
teal nationality of her pecple-amed beyond
all other nations ofantiquity for the genius and
ability of their statesmen, and the yalor and
prowess of their warriors. The events in
which he is now acting SO conspicuous part
on the Island of Sicily, are justly attracting
the attention Of all civilized nations. The
cause and the locality lend an interest to the
drama which is unfolding to view such glori-
GUS results. The rapidity with which victory
follows victory, each crowning the splendor
of the daring prelude, surpasses the most san
guine hopes of the friends of Italian freedom
throughout the world. The bow of promise |
has already burst through the dark clouds Of
Neapoitan treachery and turpitude. 1t is the |
omen of a Respondent future to the inhuman-
" oppressed insurrectionists.

Misilmeri, 26th.
After the complete defeat of the royal
troops, the commandant had the hardihood
and barbarity to lombard the city, causing an
unnecessary destruction Of innocent and help
less human beings, and thereby adding another
to the stigmas which disgrace the name Of the
King of Naples. 0dious as was his govern
ment before the act of bombarding the city
from which his troops had been driven by the
Infatuated citizens in connexion with the gal
liant band Of Garibaldi, it remains for thislast
deed of perfdy to consign the name and me-
mory Of King Francis ii to the lowest deep
OF disgrace and degradation. That he viii be
expelled from his kingdom and become an
outcast is the hope of all who are FREQ to ex-
press their opiniun. --------------
gen. Garibaidi has been proclaimed dicta-
to5 of the island, and during the cessation OF
military operations, has thoroughly organized
the different departments Of government, and
set its machinery in motion. lie has pub
lished his DEGREES as to the condition of affairs
and invoked spirit of unity and harmony in
the great contest IN which he is now enlisted.
He has the sinews Of war furnished him in
abundance, by the capture Of the capitol Of the
island and the arrivals from Genoa and other
localities along the Mediterranean sea. AZ
ter achieving such prodigies of valOr as the
taking ofthe greatest and most powerful Of
all the Notifications Of the government, with
but handful Of almost unarmed men opposed
by the veteran troops of Gen. Landi who were
equipped with all the necessaries Of war,
what may we not expect from him in the fu-
ture with an army flushed and cheered with
victory and battling for their liberties
That you may see the opinionsof continen-
tai journals in relation to this wonderful man,
| here insert the epithets and eulogies Of his
foes and friends, that all may draw their own
conclusions. The following may be regarded
as coming up to the highest standard on eth
er side:
Gazetta di Napoli-The monster, in human
shape, Garibaldi by name, has had the andici-
ty to attack at the lead Of q band of murder
ers the dominions Of his Majesty the King of
Naples. 1t is needless to add that measures
are taken by the government to capture him,
when ne VIII be justly punished for his rash
ana nwiess undertaking.
Gazetta di Roma.-The Antichrist for it is
impossible to give q person possessed of the
Devil any other sppellation, has dared 70 app
proach the coast Of Sicily, and effected land
ing with the assistance of the goddess and
hereto English.
