NAPLES, Nov. 2g.
A very important event in the diplomatic blau,..
of this country will be, 11 think, the arrival a

decision of his character, and, it is understood hen,

French legation with greater energy than be

to the on dila, is far from being satisfied with the
local off-hand manner in which the Allies have boil
treated by the government of the Two Bicilies, es
that the arrival of M. Brenier may be fairly look
to as indicative of an intention to make fresh ream.

This week have been published for the first time the
principles which the governments of the Two &aim
and the United States have laid down for their di.
notion as neutrals in time of war. The ratificatices
at the treaty were exchanged is Washington the 14th
July, 1856, and the royal sanction was given ja
Naples on Oct. 22, 1865, the treaty being published
the 24th Nov., 1845. The preamble states time a
Majesty the King of the Two Sicilia and the United
States of America, animated by a similar deek, pe
maintain and preserve from any alteration the
tions of good intelligence which hare dear
existed between the inhabitants of their t,
spective states, have, by common accord, resolved
to sanction, by means of a formal convention, the
principles of the rights of neutrals at sea, which An
recognise as the indispensable conditiocs of ell
liberty of navigation and maritime commerce." The
plenipotentiaries were—for the Sicilies, Signor D.
Luigi Carafe della Spina de Duchi di Traetto, and for
the United States, Mr. Robert Dale Owen. Ankle
First establishes, 1. That the flag covers the row
dandies (or in other words, that free ships awls free
goods); that is to say, that the effects and property
of the subjects or the citizens of one power or data
shall be exempt in time of war from capture or em.
fiacation on board neutral vessels, except &Aids
contraband of war. 2. That the property of nenbals
shall not be subject to confiscation on board as
enemy's vessel, unless it he contraband of war. The
contracting parties undertake to apply these prin-
ciples to the commerce and navigation of any pow
or state whatever which on its side wiU adopt
them as permanent and invariable. Art. 2 declares,
that the two high contracting parties hold them-
selves in reserve to eater into farther espial:bee,
according as circumstances may. require, withreepeet
to the application and extension of the rumple
agreed to in the first article. But, from this time
forward, they declare that they will take, as a rule,
the stipuladms contained in the aforesaid fleet se.
tide, whenever the rights of neutrals are under ma.
sideration. Art. 3 declares, that it is agreed intim
the high contracting parties that all nations desirous
of acceding to the rules established in the first &elide
of this convention, by means of a formal decline=
that they undertake to observe them, shall enjoy the
rights resulting from such an accession in the mme
manner as the contracting powers enjoy and obenve
the rights of this convention. They will calmed.
cats reciprocally the result of the wages which, for
such an object, shall be adopted. Art. 4is merely a
formality. There is nothing in this treaty which I
have not already communicated to you in substance,
but now that it has assumed a bodily form and pro.
portions, and has set up a fisg, as it were, to which
all assenting powers may rally, it is of importance to
consider it more in detail.
