TIE FIGHTING IN PALERMO.
A correspondent 9fthe Daily News, in a let
ter dated the lst instant, saysS-~
"After a heroic fight which lasted twelve
hours, the great Italian general succeeded in
in hosting the national flag on the towers of
the Sicilian capital, amid cries Of " Long live
Italy Long live Victor Emmanuel its
KingW From the official alrepoFts receiyed by
the Sandman government it seems that the
attack on Peperito began at four o'clock A.
NJ. on the 27th The action, once engaged
on the southern side Of the city, became soon
general, and at o'clock the whole of the
southern quarter of the Strada di Toledo fell
into the hands Of the insurgents. A muir
derous fire was in the meanwhile directed
against the town, both from Castellamare and
from the fleet. In spite of this however, at
seven O clock the royal troops, routed on the
one hand by Garibaldi, and threatened on the
other by the population were obliged to
retreat to the royal palace, which became the
centre Of General Lapzas operations. Such
was the fury of the assailapts, and such the
determination of the Neapoitans, that most
j tremendous hand-to-hand struggle ensued,
which lasted till ten o'clock. Blood flowed
in the street, and heaps of dead and wounded
blocked the way. Although an armistice
was not actually prepared and accepted, the
two contending parties were obliged 10 rest
for two hours from sheer exhaustion. AT
noon the fierce engagement was resumed
with the bombardment ofthe town, and before
dark the royal palace was stormed by the
insurgents, and two hours afterwards it was
the prey of the flames. etstated Yheth-
er the confagration of the palace was cause
by Neap0iitap shells, or whether II entered
into Garibaldi's plans to set fire to it. The
first supposition is the more probable, fol
the FIRE broke out after it was taken by the
Sicilian patriots.
