ITALY.

The King of Naples has forbidden the negotiation
of the Russian loan on the Neapolitan Bourse. The
secret of the prohibitory decree is this. The British
Government issued a circular to all the " neutrals "
calling upon them to discountenance the Russian
loan. Now, as there was not the least probability
that any one would speculate in that stock at Naples,
the Government caused a prohibition to negotiate the
said loan to be posted up at the Exchange. The
whole affair is a farce. The despotic Governments
of Italy, like Austria, are heart and soul with Russia ;
nevertheless, they lose no opportunity to deceive the
Western powers when they can do so without injuring
the cause of the Czar.
The cholera still lingers about Naples and Sicily.
The deaths are two, three, and five per day in most
of the large towns. Letters from Palermo and Mes-
sina speak of the deplorable poverty and want of
business caused by the epidemic.
• A telegraph will be opened between Rome and
Naples in a few days. The police will revise all
messages before they are transmitted.
Mr. Owen, the American Charge d'Affaires at the
Court of Naples, has been made "resident Minister"
by the Government of Washington.

SPAIN.
Madrid advices of the Ist state that serious dis-
turbances had broken out at Malaga, Logrono, and
Jaen. It is reported that a republican conspiracy
has been discovered, and that the Infante Don Hen
rique has been sent to the Balearic Islands. The
Queen has returned to Madrid.
A private telegraphic despatch announces that the
Carlist bands in Catalonia have been dispersed.
Reports have been current of the death from cho-
lera of Don Carlos, but they have since been con
tradictel

PORTUGAL.
The Lisbon Board of Trade is endeavouring to ob-
tain returns of all tho agricultural produce of the
country during the year 1852, and, although the ac-
counts cannot be implicitly trusted, they present at
least no exaggeration. According to the published
statement, the quantity of figs was 27,000,00U1bt.,
and of almonds about 8,000 bushels.

TURKEY.
Ismail Pacha, the new Commander in-Chief of
the army of Asia, has refused to proceed to his post
until a circumstantial report regarding the wants of
the troops is drawn up by men specially deputed
by the Porte. For this purpose two commissioners
have just been appointed, with instructions ad hoe.
The Turkish Government has promised to send up
a reinforcement of 20,000 men, and Ismail Pacha
declares that be will not stir until those promises
are carried into effect. Mini Pacha, who sustained
so disgmeful a defeat, has contrived lo obtain par-
don for his discomfiture, on the ground that the
troops under his command were altogether unable
and unfit to withstand the disciplined force of
Russia.

Advices from Cattaro state that 1,000 Turks had
entered the districts of Berda and Bielopacljewich
on the 19th, to chastise depredations. The Mon-
tenegrins repulsed them with a trifling loss. Prince
Danilo discountenances these conflicts.

The official partition of the sum of 95,000/. ster-
ling given by Said Pacha of Egypt to the Turkish
Ministers took place on the 21st ult. The Grand
Vizier received 3,700/. for his share. The sums given
to the other great functionaries average from 3,0001.
to 400/.
Lozethetti, a notorious Russian emissary, who
was ordered to quit Constantinople so summarily,
managed previous to his departure to visit several
high functionaries. His object was to offer large
sums of money in the shape of bribes on the part of
the Czar. The Ministers of the Divan did their
duty, however, and sent the emissary to the right-
about immediately.
