Among the batch of generals imprisoned in Isle of Ischia
is an officer whose name I gave a month ago in discreditable connexion with the wanton massacre of women and children at Carini, Carle Von Wyttem- bach. This Swiss hireling is accused of not having bombarded Palermo with sufficient energy to earn his pay, while Colonel Von Michel, who demolished half a faubourg, and left hundreds of families under the smoking ruins, has been made a general ft la mode of his fellow servant, Antony Smidt, after Perugia. General Lanza was openly accused by Von Michel, at Naples, of having acted " languidly " in quitting the city, a languor which the Neapolitans can only pray for as they see daily cart-loads of bombs going up Toledo Street to come down presently on their heads from Castel St. Elmo, as soon as a full aggregate of infernal machinery shall have been stored up there.—Globe Correspondent.
