THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY-EVACUA-
Tl0N OF PALERMO.
The correspondent of the London Times gives
the following account of the final retirement of the
Neapolitan troops from Palermo:
Already, the night before the troops were with.
drawn from the Niccariato, large fortified prison
and all the troops embarked with the exception of
the 9th battalion of Chasseurs. In the Castella-
mare nothing remained but two companies of in
fantry and seven political prisoners.
At halt-past s the two companies and the seven
prisoners were embarked from the CASTILLO; the
latter were taken to the Mole where likewise LAMA
and his staff went. When the Neapolitans had
left our posts advanced, and took possession of the
Castle. Colonel Cenni, the Commandant of Paler-
mo, was charged by Garbaldi to be present at the
final evacuation, and to take over the prisoners
Four carriages from the Palace were ordered to
take down the Commandant, the Pretori of the
town, and some of the officers of the staff. In
gong, the town was quiet enough, most people
having been ignorant that the final evacuation
would take place in the day.
The Commandant and his cortege proceeded to the
landing place of the Mole, where the last battalion
of the Neap0Iitans were drawn up in column
close to the iron gate which leads to the sea-
Here the Commandante d Piazza got out of his
carriage, and went foot to the head of the Mole
to draw up the process rerbal and receive the prso-
ners But long before he arrived there the tri-
color had begun to show itself on all the houses and
on all the ships. Indeed, the Neapotan flag was
scarcely taken down from the flagstaff on the
ing h4 eF Rg BSs ter
color Every new appearance of tri-color elected
shouts and braves from the inhabitants who col
lected to have last look at the Neapolitans, and
nothing proved the ascendancy of GarbaIdi's Off
GERS more than the way in which thew silenced
these untimely manifestations
cannot tell what bitter feeling of hatred was in
aC m iaSt parting cast on these Neapolitan soldiers
Inc ieehhg OF hatred Is beyond anything YOU can
conceive. On the part Of the Neanoliton SoIdiors
there appeared to be listless almost stuniied
look; they are the very beau ideal of machine SOL
dier; tall, well-equipped pieces of wood While the
Commandant ol Palermo away they marched
off company by company, and embarked in ono of
the steamers close by
A shout coming from the Mole announced that
the tormaIitIes were over and the prisoners
coming They arrived just at the moment when
the last Neapolitan detachment left, and at the
same time arose cheer of jov and shower of
hisSes the first for the prisoners and the second for
the Neapotans. The families and friends of the
minutes there kissing and hugging after
which every who could get into carriage
and the cortege went off towards the town.
Had the Neapotans released the prisoners when
they were asked to do so the whole thing would
have passed off quietly enough. By keeping them
until they went they prepared triumpha entry
for them. Even before the town was reached the
crowd was numbering thousands, and all this liv-
ing mass thronged into the narrow streets, where
other thousands were waiting. All the nhabi-
tants on their balconies throwing flowers and rails
ing unceasing, frantic cheers especially the women
who were collected at every corner, and not few
of whom tried to follow the carriages seemed per
tectly mad, SCI Gaming and yelling if they were
possessed. Such must have been the screams of
the Danes de la Halle once in Paris, only they had
nothing to do with Santa Rosalie, who plays a
great part here, and who gets more cpriuds than
any one else. The bells, which moved so anguidly
during the b0mbardment, helped to increase the
din, and between the two they made such mon.
ster chdriuart for the departing NeapOlitans that
they actually drowned the sound of the cannon
General LAMA warmly took leave of Admiral
Mundy, and received his farewell salute.
Step by step the human mass advanced cheering
and yelling to the Paazzo Reale. When the
riages arrived, each of them was decorated with
one or more rl-cOOrs, and covered with shrubs and
howers. The released prisoners, all young men,
from twenty to thirty went up, together with their
families, to thank their liberator Ii embraced
them all round, and was himself overcome with
emotion that he could scarcely utter a word and
soon after withdrew. The feeling with the people
is the great secret of Garibadis influence; he
holds, as it were in his person, the whole life
of the masses.
The evacuation took place exactly at noon, but
it was nearly p. NJ. before the triumphal pro-
gress OF the prisoners was In the meantime
the Neapolitans had been getting gradually under
way, but it was not before late in the afternoon
that they got out. Eight steamers, with four
transports in tow, went off towards Naples Sa-
lerno, while seven steamers, towing the frgate of
the Commodore, corvette, and three transports,

In the Church OF st. Joseph the bombs have
broken down the cupola, DESTROYED the roof and
entirely ruined the marble pavement. Close TO the

fate; but in it several women and children who had
there taken refuge all killed. About Sc bombs
fell on the convent of the nuns of st. Catherine
and completely destroyed that edifice, along with
the warehouses of IA merchants adjoining, in the

building and only the chapel has escaped. The
bombs have totally ruined the palace of Baron

THE MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS AT SIDON,
SYRIA.
Correspondence Of the London NeaUS.
BEYRoUT, June 8, 1850.
To-day an account of another horrible massacre
of Christians at Rashayia, large Christian settle
ment at the foot of Mount Hermon, has been
brought in. | wish | could dscredt the tale but
the source whence have it leaves me no doubt
of its truth. 1t appears that Rashayia bad been
for some days invested by Druses, and that on
Tuesday, the 5th instant, they had increased great
ly in numbers. A parley took place, and it was
agreed on both sides not to fight, conditions
that the Christians of the place promised not to Join
the Zhalie Christians. After sunset the Druses
appear to have changed their minds. They sud-
denly assaulted the place. The Christians, taken
by surprise, fed for refuge to the palace in which
the regular Turkish soldiers were stationed. The
latter shut the gates in their faces and the Druses
had it all their own way. 1t is usual for Druses
to respect women in warfare, but this was not the
case in the present instance for men were murder
ed, women violated, and young children torn to
pieces. Of the two thousand inhabitants of the
place. besides refugees from other villages, not
twenty are left to tell the tale.
At Hasbeya another large village not far from the
above place, the Emir of the district Moslem,
but behaved well. He insisted on the Turkish SOL
diers of the garrison doing their duty and defend
ing the village against the Druses. The conse-
quence that the latter were driven back with
loss. Had the Turkish authorities done their duty
thus since the struggle began we should not now
have to lament the loss of some five or six thousand
Christians throughout Lebanon, to say nothing of
more than sixty villages being burnt down. What
| mentioned in my last is more and more confirmed
every day. The Turkish authorities have in every
single instance either stood calmly by or have
helped the Druses in every possible manner.
have the most certain proof that whilst the one
hand, the Pacha was threatening to arrest some of
the leading Christians of Beyrout because they had
subscribed money wherewith to feed and arm their
poorer cOreigionists in the mountain, the Druses
were receiving food, arms and ammunition direct
from the government stores.
