FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

A POLITICAL prisoner named Mancini has just escaped from
prison, where he had feigned invanity for some months. It is
supposed that he got on board one of the French steamers
that ply between Ripa Grande and Civita Vecchia, and the
police are in a great rage at his flight, because he was consi-
dered to be Mazzini's head man after the Advocate Petroni.

NAPLES.—A correspondent of the Morning Post, writing
from Naples, under date of August 25, says, "Persecution
continues unabated. I send you some examples, although in
themselves perhaps ridiculous. The Neapolitian aristocracy,
well known for its base and ignorant administration of all
the cruelties committed by the King and his agents, has at
last itself fallen under the lash of the all-powerful police.
The Prince Palliano Colonna's salons at Capo di Monte are
thrown open once a week to all the elite of the Neapolitan
beau monde, as well as to foreigners of distinction. A few
evenings ago the entrance of the palace was invaded by the
police, who insisted on taking down the names of all the
guests as they left their carriages. The porter, not under-
standing the meaning of the proceeding, remonstrated,
and a row ensued, which reached the rooms above, alarm-
ing. the company. The Duke of Sangro, who had just
been obliged to sign his name, explained the story.
The panic was such that all the company, beaded
by the Minister of War, Prince Tschitella, and including
foreigners, instantly left the house, so that at eleven
o'clock there was nothing to be seen but lights and
melting ices. This occurrence, with similar facts, have created
a feeling of intense animosity against Mazza, Minister of Police,
who is indifferent to public opinion, possessing his sovereign's
confidence. On a late occasion the Duke of Birona, a well-
known person in Naples, was reported by a spy, who visited
his house, as having spoken against the severities of the police,
whereupon his doorway was watched by police agents, and
himself carefully looked after. The duke waited upon the
King and complained of these proceedings, stating that he
had always been attached to the royal cause. His Majesty
replied that that might be, but now lie was imbued with the
spirit of opposition to the government. Yesterday, the persons
who on a late occasion accompanied a deceased deputy to the
grave, were imprisoned for so doing. In fact, lam tired of
narrating the injustice which takes place every day in this
unhappy city. The King seems to be bent on bringing him-
self into trouble by offending all classes. The King and go-
vernment, as you are aware, are thoroughly Russian, and the
Swiss soldiers are schooled to hate France and England.
SPAlN.—According to the Madrid Gazette of the 10th inst.
the " forced loan " will be made up by voluntary contributions.
A despatch of the 11th says :—"Not less than 450,213 domains
were sold to-day ; the upset price was three millions and a
half (of reals), and the purchasing price seven millions."—A
band of insurgents, who had made their appearance in the
province of Madrid, have been completely destroyed. All goes
well at Barcelona.—The Clamor Publics says that five infan-
try regiments are to be suppressed. The death of the Bishop
of Santander is announced. The floating debt rose during the
month of August by 1,000,000 reals, and was on the 31st ult.
606,043,333 reals. ( The real is worth five sous.) The cholera
continues at Tolosa, Zarauz, Fontarabia, and other towns on
the Bidassoa ; it is also increasing in the Asturias.—The Spa-
nish papers announce a sad afl'air at Malaga a few days ago.
Four English sailors, in a state of intoxication, got into a fight
with some men, and one of the sailors was killed and another
wounded. Three of the assailants were arrested.

BRAZILS AND EWER PLATE.—The Great Western arrived
on Thursday, with dates from Buenos Ayres to the 2d of
August ; Monte Video, sth ; Rio Janeiro, 14th ; Bahia, 18th;
Pernambuco, 21st; St. Vincent, 30th; Teneriffe, September
4th ; Madeira, sth ; and Lisbon, 9th. At Buenos Ayres mea-
sures were being taken to trace the accomplices in the late
conspiracy against the government, but without success. The
position of the new ministry was precarious, and it was cur-
rently reported that the militia forces on the southern frontier
against the Indians had disbanded themselves. Rumours were
also in circulation of a combination of all parties in Monte
Video against the Brazilians. At Rio the parliament was
about to close. The senate had approved a bill for the indem-
nification of the prizes made during the war of independence,
and also had ordered payment to be made to the Earl of Dun-
donald. A bill had also been passed which extended the
liberty of voting. At Bahia yellow fever had disappeared, but
cholera was prevailing. Business was very (lull in consequence.
The disease was confined chiefly to the blacks, and very few
cases were reported in the town. At Coxoeira, a town on the
border of the river Paraguay, about 1000 deaths had occurred
among a population of 12,000 people. There was a great
scarcity of provisions, and many of the inhabitants, from fear
of the epidemic and to avoid stwation, were leaving for the
interior.
