The Proclamations of the conqueror OF
Sicily are short and to the point The fol
lowing is the text of his proclamation on the
armistice:
SICILIAEs: The enemy has proposed to
US an armistice, which, in a generous war,
such as that in which we fight | thought it
reasonable not to refuse. The burying of
the dead, the care Of the wounded-ina word,
everything which the laws of humanity de-
mand-has always honored the valor of the
Italian soldier Moreover, the Neapoltan
wounded are also our brothers, although they
are acting with cruel hostility, and are
plunged in the darkness of political error;
but it viii not be long before the light Of the
National flag win induce them to swell the
ranks Of the Italian army
Then follows the articles signed at Paler-
mo, May 3lst providing for suspension of
hostilities, embarkation Of wounded and fam
lilies, and exchange of prisoners. On the lst
of June, Garibaldi issued the following proc
lamation:
SIcILIANs: The tempest nearly always
AClAOMo AuD NtAALAl1 ALAu MG must PAGpaAG ADA
the tempest, for as yet our object has not
been fully attained
The conditions Of the national cause were
brilliant; the triumph was assured from the
moment that a generous people, treading hu-
initiating propositions under foot, resolved to
conquer or die.
Yes, our situation improves every moment
but that must not prevent US doing our duty,
and insuring the triumph of the holy cause.
Arms, then, and to arms Sharpen your
weapons and prepare every means Of attack
and defence. For enthusiasm and eUUiUas
there will be time enough when the enemy
is swept out Of the country.
Arms, then, l repeat il, and to arms -
Who, during these three days, does not find
some weapon TO arm himself with is traitor
and a coward, and the people who fight amid
the ruins of their burnt down houses for the
freedom and for the lives of their wives and
children cannot be towards and traitors.
G. GARIBALDI.
Palermo, June l, 1860.
Garibaldi has addressed the following let
terto Bertani:
siDEAR BERTAEI:-I authorize you not on
ly to make an advance or to negotiate loan
for Sicily, but, moreover, to contract any
debt whatever, as we have here immense
means to satisfy all claims.
Yours ever, GARIBALDI.
The morning, of the 4th of June, Gen
Letizia asked for an indefinite prolongation
Of the armistice, to which, after deliberation,
Garibaldi assented.
Palermo dates the llth state that Carl
baldi was actively engaged in organizing his
reserve force, and it was expected that he
would not make any new movements for
some days. The embarkation Of the royal
troops continued, and the town was still bar
ricaded.
During the bombardment !, 100 shells were
thrown into the city from the citadel, and
about 200 from the ships, besides grape, can
Mister and round shot. The destruction of
property was great and the atrocities of the
Royal troops frightful. In some insta noes
families were burned alive in their dwellings.
Whole districts were laid in ashes, and the
London Times correspondent wonders that
''the sight of the scenes does not convert
every man into tiger, and every woman in
to fury" t@.
