Gaum, July 20. The reports of disturbances at Palermo, and in Sicily generally, have been to-day fully continued.

U. The first impulse rf toe Sicilians on hearing the news ot the revolution at Naples, was to mount the tri-coloied bailee of the constitution. Iut this lasted only a single day. On the 15th July, the yellow or Sicilian ribtion was displayed in conjunction with the other. An accitlent, or an indiscretion, exasperated the people against the Neapolitan authorities and troops: an English officer, in the pay of Kaples, is said to have torn the badge o? Sicilian independence from the breast ot an unarmed citizen. The forts in possession of the Neapolitan soldiery w ere attacked and carried by the islanders. An association of distinguished individual was formed for the maintenance of tranquility, but in vain. On the night ufthe loth, the garrison were concentrated in the public squares of Palermo, lin the morning of the 17th, 7f-0 prisoners were released from confinement bv the populace.

The Paris papers of Tuesdav and Wednesday last have arrived this morninsr. These papers supply very little additional intelligence -bemud what vc yesterday communicated, respecting tlie fatal events that have oc:urrcd in Sicily. These details are fully confirmed by various private letters, and by the journals id' Rome and Florence. 'Some accounts state the killed at f ear thousand ; hut the majority ceenr in estimating them at two thousand, and the wounded at above that number. The multitude are represented to have .manifested a spirit of murderous phren vy ; boiling oil, articles of furniture, and stone were thrown from the windows of the houses upon the Neapolitan troops. At t'.ic cloe of the coniiict they set lire to th? public etlifices and prisons and to the jrovernment archives. When the vessels in which Naselli, nicc-ror, general Ghurch, and various functionaries escaped, quitted the islam! for Nnpl. the city at Palermo exhibited a scene the most terrific imaginable.

That such his been the conuuet oi the ptetenkdly virtuous Aleaindrr, is too well known to admit of a doubt. "The treaty for the ale of a few rotten pine snip, it is notoriously true. was e!Vec(el bv VahchiJ. the idissian minister at Madrid, and his wife, (the former mistress ci prince Esternzv) with the kin;; of Spain; and was ilon with s much secrecy, t!:at not one of the ministers of the king knew anj tiling uf the treaty until Ion;; after it nail been concluded ; arid it is a fact that the ships were actually m the bay of C uliz. s.'imc time before notice w as iven to the minister of marine that such vethels belonged to the Spanish nation.

New-Yorx, Se,pt. 1. The fast sailing ship Minerva-Smyth, capt. liennett, arrived last evening, in 31 days from Liverpool, having sailed on tlie 0th of July, up to whicii data papers arc received. The principal event in the papers is the revolution whicii has broken out in Naples, and like that of Spain has ended in a complete overthrow of the old Dynasty, and the establishment of a more liberal government, and this too, without heddin of much blood. The promise of the kin to prepare a Constitution in eight days, was too Ions a period for the impatience ot the Neapolitans. They had sent deputations to the king requiring the Constitution cf the Cortes of 1312 to be signed in 24 hours. The king had notified the Deputation that the state of his health did not permit hiui any longer to execute tlie I'.utits'of royalty, ami appointed his son the Dulte of Calabria his Vicar-General. Soon after the Prince published a Proclamation promising the Constitution, but this did not satisfy the Insurgents. They insisted that the promisu should he made bv the kino; and signed bv himself. Accordingly a new Proclamation appeared in the evening signed by the king, in which hi majesty confirmed tiie promise made by his son, and pledged his faith to swear fidelity to the Constitution before the provisional Junta about to be fo'ined, preparatory to his taking the oaths before a general Patlianent lawfully assembled. The Provisional Junta is to consist of 20 members- No disposition to molest the royal family appeared. The old cockade of red has been supplanted by one of three colors which the soidiers iiad mounted. The London Courier of July 22d, contaii s intelligence of a revolution in Naples, received in London from Paris. Paris, July 12. It appears that the government does not wish to have the details of what has taken place in Italy. Among the rumors in circulation are the following. The Lazzaroni had risen, and two regiments id tlie line, who were sent to quell them, joined them. The king reposing confidence in a General who had promised him to restore order, entrusted him with si.iv regiments. When he arrived in the preenco of the Insurgents, he imitated Ney, and exclaimed, Lonir live tlie. Constitution." The Ministry is changed, and is now composed of the Muratists " A sir'gle battalion first hoisted colors, which was not the royal one at Naples. The regiments sent to quell the revolted soldiers, joined them." Tne communication between Paris .ind AN'apies is cut otf. In Paris the questions was What part wilt Austria take? What wiil the Holy Alliance determine on ? Nafixs, July 6. On the night of Sundav, 2d of Julv, 3 small corps of cavalry tnarcneu out 01 ioia, accompanied by some officer?. They displayed the tii-colored cockade. Their first movement was upon Avelino, where thev were fired upon by a battalion nf the Tamnite regiment. In the course of t!ie day the Insurants were reinforced bv great numbers of phantrv and the tower was takeu, the battalion disarm ed. antl the civil authorities rhliged to so. ear allegiance to the Constitution. The Neapolitan overnment was altoj (.ther unprepared for such events, and

Theroyal tr.iopft at length mJc seme movements, one column took up a position on the Nola read, another to Nucera, antl- the whole were put under the command of General Carascora. These arrangements led to an expectation that a t attack would be made upon the Insurgents, but the bpirit of the troops opposed to them rendered a retrograde moTcment necessary, and a General Peppi set off clandestinely lrom Naples, and

The Paris Journal states that amongst the new ministers is general Talaquiurc, a distinguished otfeer under Alurat. 't he revolution is said to have proceeded from ollicers formerly attached to M ui at. Further accounts state that the Kin' immediately adopted, signed ami pro-j claimed the constitution formed in the time of Jlurat. letters from Naples as late as the loth, state that it was far from being tranquil ; some riotw had taken place. The Austrian government nail information of a . ecret society of 00, composed of late ollicers in Unnapaite's army. A letter from Pans says, accounts hav been received from Milan of the 13th of July, which f peak ot a gathering storm in that part of Italv. Several arrests have recently been n.atle, and the Austrian irovernnmnt have had mforination ot a secret society, composed of nesilv 00 officers v.ho served under lijnapartc, and tie greater part of vnonx are now living in Piedmont. Tlie Aus trian resment at Jsesto Laliei'da, has been instructed to allow no person without a passpwrt to cros the iiaggiore, even for an hour. This order i liiuly enforced, but the watchers ui'd watched are equally infected with tlie revolutionary spirit. PARIS, Aug. CO.

This morning arrived from Palermo, D. Douiinico Montone, vice president of the high civil rourt of Naples, and I). Phillip CarilSo, the king's procureur to the civil tribunal. These two magistrates have brought certain intelligence respecting the unfortunate events in the capital o? Sicily. Tiie result is, that all preceding accounts have been exaggerated. 'Onlv three Sicilians fell victims to the fury oi the mob; namely, Prince Cattolica, the pi nice IPAcre, and the officer Sauza. No Neapolitan has been ill-treated, except the Neapolitan troops, of whom four odicers and 200 soldiers were more or less wounded. We expect here a deputation, commissioned to lay at the. foot of the throne, the homage of the city of Palermo. Anarchy has ceased in Sicily, and tise junta of public safety are empfovlng all the requisite mean to tranquilize the public mind, and to restore evexy where order and tranquility.

Extract of a letter dated Palermo, Aug. 13.

¶ "The circumstance of this island being in a measure divided is much against the Sicilians. Palermo, in particular, is strongly in favor of being separate from Naples. Messina, on the other hand, rather inclines to Naples; and so long as these principal places are opposed to each other, it is difficult to say what may be the result. During the worst of the revolution in this place, upwards of 400 citizens and soldiers were slain, and indeed many of the most inhuman murders were committed. The soldiers and citizens were engaged for the space of nine hours—the latter were at last victorious. They had about 150 killed and the soldiers 250. The same day the prisons were broken open, and upwards of 2000 wretches let loose upon the city the object of whom was rapine and plunder. They are at present in a measure tranquil, yet we are apprehensive of the worst. The members of the junta have sworn to lose their last drop of blood rather than be in subjection to Naples— Many of the most respectable inhabitants, and also of the nobility, have been wantonly slain, and afterwards had their heads cut off, and their bodies dragged through the streets in triumph, on account, it is said, of their being friends to the soldiers—their houses were entirely demolished, and robbed of every thing valuable—their furniture, &.c. collected together and set on fire by the enraged. mob."
