As regards the torture each commssary each jaier,

From The London Telegraph APytlO.
Fanatic and absolute in his ideas Of administration.
1t scarcely TO be expected that the King of the F@o
Sicies would spare such tell-tae ~ the telegraph
would become in the hands OF irresponsible operations
and the consequence is that IL is seized upon by the
Crown and worked with the bndest disregard 10 truth
and the best policy Of the State. Every little item OF
dissecon ID suppressed the disorganlzitlon OF tue
Provinces lie not allowed to be mentioned; the move
mens of troops are concealed and the world stemssed
TO believe that couleur de sudees oil the faces
and the affairs Of the Neapoian and Sciiian popula-
tons.
On Friday, we received information that serious
disturbance had taken place at Me:sina, which prom
ited 70 ripen into a general insurrectlon The ssms
telegIam--it was Government one-affrmed that the
disturbance solely caused by the roaehs' Of the
lower classes and that these sdHscotte 8gifaors had
been put down with great loes by the military. Sab
sequent kilograms contradict this statement and main
tain that the rebellion is extending itse and has
reached the ty Of Cassne. OF course, 1t was natural
that the Neapolitau Government should endeayor TO
hioe the gravity Of the rising, and keep IL from the
knowledge OF its subjects. The fact is tiat the
dominions of Francis III. are threatened at the
present moment from within and from without. He
has, by his oppressive aod wicked system Of rule,
ale mated from himself the affections Ct bis Subjects
and prepared the way for the most revolutionary
propSgandism. WHAT wonder, then, that the Scllians
watching the late movements in the north of Italy,
should be animated with the most intense hatred of the
moDarch whose Ministers have repeatedly oppressed
ano insulted the and that they should stretch forth
their arms TO Piedmont for succor and redress Can
they forget that it was the father Of their present
priest-r deem sovereign who swore fealty to the
Constitution aud almost in the same breath vio-
lated that oath The history Of the Si,ans is
distinct from that of the Nsapolitsns; their race
also is different The former have, with the exception
OF few bIt intervals been the sport of fortune and
ruled by succs ssion of dynastes whose aspirations
were abso utis and who copied closely the machinery
OF Government in vogue In Austria In France, in
Spain. Across the bosom of tho Neapolau territory
the iron heels Of invading armies have frequently
tramped and tho misra has swept their political
institutions no less than over their vineyards The
isolation Of the Sicilians the contrary has ia
vored them. Their national annals tell how for
centuries they were literally governed, aad
with what enthusiasm they rallied round their Con-
stitutiou The traditions Of those days have never
been erased from their minds. Repeatedly have they
fought for their ancient privileges and ony laid down
their arms under the most sacred promises that their
wishes should be realized What they demand no ",
what they have seized their weapons to secure, 10
nothing new. They seek no political chImsra, they
revolutionary visions. They ask simply for their
Constitution. which WAS guarantees u them by Eu-
