January 29.

The immediate result of Lord W. Bentinck's return to Palermo, and an interview with the king, is said to have been that every difficulty was amicably arranged, and the arrest and trial of a number of French spies and emissaries ordered. It is of this circumstance the French papers avail themselves, which, in an article from Naples of the 8th, would have it believed, that the persons arrested are the "best friends of the Sicilian government."—The tone of that article sufficiently shews that the projects of the enemy against Sicily have been completely defeated.
