From the state of the chest of the canton of Lucerne, recovered from the fugitive authorities of the Sonder- bund, it appears that the treasury of the League de- rived its chief resources from loans supplied by Austria, and from an examination of the arms and artillery captured or surrendered, it appears that the League, derived its arms from France—the cypher of Louis |Philippe was found upon the artilery. The cantons of ithe defunct League were proceeding with the elections of their respective grand councils and other cantonal authorities. ‘The popular assemblies of these cantons respectively had passed resolutions in substance similar to those of Friburg and Lucerne, renouncing the |League, acknowledging the authority of the Diet, and

On the 27th ult. a scene of extraordinary enthusiasm In Theatre Carolino the audience rose and uttered various patriotic exclama- tions. The popular demonstrations of the 27th were repeated on the 28ih, 29th, and 30th. The theatre rang

with shouts in favour of Pius [X. and the Italian Union.

The population of Palermo, including the most respect- able classes, demanded the immediate formation of the national guard, the surest means of maintaining order. Several of the most influential inhabitants of the town, including the professors of the university, had written to Naples on this subject ; but the answers received were unfavourable, and a revolution, accord- ing to some, had become inevitable. Besides the letters received directly from Sicily, other advices have been received from various parts of Italy, which all tend to

‘corroborate the reports already given. Letters from

Leghorn of the 4th say that a steam-frigate had arrived from the British squadron lying off Sicily, which brought despatches to Admiral Parker, informing him that Sicily was in full revolt, and that the insurgents had declared themselves independent of the Neapoli- tan government, and had placed themselves under the

|protection of England.
