NEVM WW THE DAY.

There hay been another change in the'cotMand of
the ItOyalist forces in Naples, and als‘;', of the Nati(Mal
Guard ; but it ,is -nitt eiplainetl whether it 'arose from
the resignation of the previous Commanders-in-Chief, or
from' tha ltaNing been dispatched to other foCailties,
where their loyalty turd military qualities were supposed
likely to *prove of greater service. A telegram, for-

.
some days 'agO mentioned had been 'made Ito. hit by
`his cousin, Queen Isabella; and we gather from .other
sources of information that the Royal vah4thles and•
baggage have been all packed up and put
,on board
ship, 'ready to be despatched to Seville the moment the
signal for departure is given. The Austrian Ambassador

Austrian squadron has orders to leave the roadstead
simultameotily with the vessel which conveys the de-
throned Monarch to the private residence provided for
him. _ . .

the advice they a 0 - tendering to His Holiness
in his present ettergeney, is of rathei: Tan embarrassing
character. The Pope, is adirised by the Opinione of
Turin, to disband the .foreign
.hordes, which he has
assembled against his neighbouri, pain of being
excluded from the benefits of the Operation of the non-
intervention principle,: nut, as his Holiness,f he were
