NAPLES.

NAPLES, JAN. 22,
The Official Journal (Jan. 20) unexpectedly an-
nounces a new combination in the Neapolitan cabinet.
The first decree states: " Taking into consideration
the advanced ago and the impaired health of the
Marquis Fortunate, Minister of State and ]'resident
of the Council of Ministers, charged with the port-
folio of Foreign Affairs, and listening to the desire of
the same for repoee, we grant him his retireinent,
with the ' pension of justice.' " The second decree
names the Cavalier*, kerdinando Troja, elesiastical
Affairs, now President of the Council of Ministers, in
the place of M.Fortutiato. The third decree names M.
Scoria (Grace and Justice) to ecclesiastical affairs, in
the place of M. Troja. A fourth decree confers the
portfolio of the Minister of Foreign Affairs on M.
Carafe di Traetto. A fifth decree names M. l'as-
quale Gorerea, as Prefect of Police. There are two
motives for which the necessity of a change of minis-
try would suggest itself to hits Neapolitan majesty.
In the first place we are expecting daily a float
decree abolishing the constitution; tt would,
therefore, he more convenient that this crown-
ing act should he consummated in the pre-
sence of ministers who have not taken the
constitutional oath. In the second place, nu doubt
his majesty is willing enough to get nil of men who,
however inspired by the royal will, hart. committed
a series of illegal acts and inhuman cruelties during
their tenure of office that has erected an amount of
' odium fur the royal rule, to which hie Majesty mast
be perfectly aware, and of which lie can scarcely he
indifferent. Further decrees are expected which
will entirely change the old cabinet. 'I he King held
three cabinet councils within 21 hours.
We have a report in Naples that Prince Louis
Napoleon has communicated with the Neapolitan
cabinet, claiming indemnification for the confiscated
personal property while& Iteloti„,ottl to Murat; the
*um demanded, it is said, amounts to 34 millions of
francs. Although these assertions are made with
great confidence on the Bourse, I am inclined to
think the story has originated rather in anticipative
than fact.

GERMANY.

The Post :tints Gazette of Frankfort resumed on
the 2fith instant the re-publication of the reports of
the Central Diet, commencing with the sit tint of the
25th, in which the principle of non-conservation of
the flotilla of the North Sea as the property of the
confederation was decided. This publication has no
other interest than as showing that the difference
which had arisen between Austria and Prussia re-
specting the mode in which the reports were to be
drawn up and published has been arranged. Prussia,
it will be rbmembered, charged her neighbour with
making these partial reports a political instrument.
The positive destination of the flotAla. says the Xrio
Prussian Ga:rtte, is as uncertain as ever; the only
point settled is that Prussia will not contribute
another groschen to its maintenance.
In the second Prussian chamber on the 26th
a discussion took place upon a petition from M.
Brauner, chief of the new catholic party, who,
expelled from Berlin, found himself equally ex-
eluded from his native place, where he had
lost his rights of domicile. Wanting these rights
there, he (lid not possess them in any other
part of the kingdom, and, to complete his difficulties,
a foreign passport was denied him. Being forbidden
to remain in Prussia, and not allowed to depart, M.
Brauner has resolved to appeal to the chamber, which
he prays to regulate his condition in one way or
another. The committee on his petition recommended
that the house should shirk it by passing to the
order of the day, and in this recommendation the
government concurred. The chamber rejected the
proposition by 164 against 95 votes, and the petition
was referred to the minister of the interior for him
to (10 justice in the case.
On the same day the debate turned in the First
Chamber on the petition of Count Saurnia, demand-
ing the revision of the constitution, a petition which
occasioned a few days ago a warns debate in the Se-
cond Chamber. The result was, however, different
in the present instance, as the Right and ultra-
Right supported by the government curried a special
order of the day favourable to revision by 86 against
64 votes. The report that M. Bodelschwingh, mi-
nister of finance, would retire in consequence of tho
augmentation of the war budget as proposed by
General Bonin, is contradicted.

General Bonin has notified to the committee of the
Chamber on the budget that it need not continue to
discuss the present army estimates, as the new ones
will he shortly sent before it.
The resolution affirming the commercial treaty
' with Prussia and the Zolls-crein was read a second
time, in the Hanoverian Upper Chamber, on the
26th, by a majority of J 4 votes to 19. In thc Se-
cond Chamber the copy of a treaty with the French
republic, for the protection of literary property, was
laid on the table.

In a late sitting of the Second Chamber at Munich
M. von Lassaulx, in giving his vote fur the military
estimates, stated he (lid so the more readily, as the
states of Germany must be prepared fur all even-
tualities, since the political power in France had
been seized by a " buccaneer" (fibs:tier.) The
French minister made a formal remonstrance to the
President of the Ministry, M. von der Pthrdten,
against the use of such an expression by a deputy
of the Chambers, in reference to the chief of the
French government. In the sitting of the 21th,
M. von der l'fortden expressed his regret that M.
von Lassaulx should have used so injurious a term;
had he heard it he should have requested that tho
hon. deputy be called to order. The president
of the Chamber also stated that be had not heard
the word, a declaration the Chamber received with
considerable " hifaritj.." M. von Lassaulx did not
withdraw the expression. A bill is to be introduced
withdrawing the trial of political offences from
juries ; it is to have a retroactive effect'

DENMARK AND THE DUCIIIES.

Ilerlings Gazette and the Fadrektielet agree in con-
firming the statement of changes in the Danish
government which we published yesterday. Tho
Flensburg Gazelle says that a note of Lord Granville,
advising Denmark to accept the Austrian and Prus-
sian propositions, has contributed to hasten this
solution.
