NAPLES.

The insurrection in Sicily, which'was reported by last mail to be suppressed, has been revived with greater strength by Garibaldi. On the night of the oth, accompanied by 2000 picked men, the guerilla chieftain entered Genoa, and embarked. He baffled and eluded the Neapolitan cruisers, and on the Uth effected a landing at Marsala, not far from Palermo. It was reported that one steamer was captured, but the statement is denied. He is furnished with abundance of war materials. Other expeditions are being organised to follow, and volunteers are flocking from all parts of Sicily. Subscription lists are opened in London, Milan, Turin, and other places, and even French soldiers are asking permission to join the gallant band. France, Russia, and Naples have protested to the Sardinian government, which pleads that it has done its utmost to prevent the perilous enterprise. France expresses its satisfaction with the ex planation.

Royal troops are confined to Messina and Palermo, while the patriots hold the open country. The conduct of the troops has been marked by every atrocity. The French, English, and Sardinian squadrons arc ordered to the Sicilian waters. Insurrections have broken out in Calabria, and the Abruzzi. This will prevent concentration of troops, and divide the strength of the army. Panic reigns at Naples. Letters from reliable authority state, that,. though only 23 years of age, the king is as complete a bigot and tyrant as Philip 11. He has declared, that, rather than yield in any one particular, either as to persons or measures, lie would * erect a gallows' in every street., bombard the town to atoms, and lose his crown.’ These were his words.

Another letter says, “ But were the king to persist in his obduracy, or were he too far gone to find people willing to come to terms with him, then, no doubt, he and the Pope, if abandoned to themselves, would surely fall, and then either Piedmont would have the whole of Italy, or the southern half would fall into the bauds of him who has just been baffled in his cruel designs upon Central Italy, and and who is now digesting, with such relish as he can, those meagre bones of Savoy and Xice with which Sardinia was, in an e.vil moment, compelled to glut his appetite. Let Europe he on tlie look out, or we shall have a Bonaparte on the throne of Naples ere we are three months older ! ”
