THE "TIMES" AND "DAILY NEWS" ON THE
RESULT OF OUR NEAPOLITAN POLICY.

[There is one effectual step to purge the Neapolitan
State from the evils which desolate it, and that is to put
away from the throne he has dishonoured the incorrigible
perturber of the commonwealth of Europe.—D. News,
Oct. U.]

THE Naples correspondent of our Liberal
contemporary thus writes from Naples, Novem-
ber 13 :
Our position is one of the most ridiculous that can
well be conceived. After many months of menacing
correspondence, of European journalising and expec-
tation, of preparations of fleets, and sailing and
counter sailing, the British and French Ministers
leave Naples like two private gentlemen (Mons.
lirenier, it must be confess!d, with some attempt at
eclat), and one French and one English frigate come
in just to ask us, " How do you do ?" So little sen-
sation does the circumstance make here that the
names of the Ministers are entered amongst the
usual list of departures with the Smiths and Joneses,
not the slightest disturbance of the public peace
taking place, and kind Italian friends sneeringly
observe, " We are much quieter without the Minis-
ters—don't you think so, ?" The King, too, pats
us on the back, and promises to protect us in our
persons, rights, property, and interests ; and he
fulfils his promise, for straightway he issues a
rescript giving orders to that effect, and never were
a people more courteously treated than the French
and the English. Towards the Neapolitans themselves
a more conciliatory manner is adopted, and a degree
of tranquillity exists that we have not known for a
long time lt shows that the allies
have failed in rendering themselves either respected
or respectable, and that what they have done or
omitted to do has produced dissatisfaction amongst
the Liberals, and ridicule amongst the Royalists.
At the present moment the King is ccmplete master
of the position. He has defied and triumphed over
the allies, his " sic rob°, sic jubeo," was never stronger
than it, now is ; and all that the allies have done has
been to place him on a pedestal which history cer-
tainly will not accord him.

The Times correspondent on Nov. 10th writes
much in the same strain :
