PRUSSIA.

The Moniteur Prustrein contains a royal order
prolonging for three months the delegated functions
of the Prince of Prussia.

His Royal Highness set out on the 30th of July
for Baden.

The Temps has a strong article on the question of
the garrison of Rastadt. The dispute becomes more
and more serious.

ITALY.

The correspondent of the Daily News gives the
following :

On Wednesday, the 16th June, the Cagliari was given
up by the Neapolitan Government to Mr. liarbar ; and a
corporal with three marines took possession of her. On
the 17th an officer of the Centaur, Lieutenant Teller, and
a boat's crew, went on board and brought her out of port,
anchoring her off Santa Lucia, one of the most conspicuous
spots in Naples. At four o'clock in the morning of the
18th the Centaur got up her steam and stirted for
Salerno, where she arrived about ten o'clock. All passed
off quietly ; not a voice was raised, and in a short time
the captain and his crew were transferred to the Centaur,
where they were rezeiveJ with every expression of sym-
pathy and kindness. " Thank God !" exclaimed the
captain, "we are tinder British colours. Oh, whet have
we suffered. They stripped me of my clothes without
respect to my age. You have no idea of the indignities
which have been practised towards me." Whilst prepara-
tions were being made for leaving Salerno, some perons
came on board to visit the quondam prisoners, and crowds
of hosts continued to ply around the steamer. About
twelve o'clock the Centaur left Salerno, arriving in Naples
soon after five o'clock in the afternoon. It was known
where she had been, and whom she had brought up, and
Santa Lucia was crowded by persons anxious to catch a
glimpse of the Sardinians. At seven o'clock in the
evening an interesting ceremony took place. Captain
Sitzia and his crew were transferred from the Centaur to
the Cagliari, and put in possession cf their old ship. No
flag, however, was hoisted as yet, nor was the craw per-
mitted to laud during the remaining time that they
stayed in Naples. From the city the vessel presented a
spectacle which attracted the attention of thousands of
curious spectators. For many a month had the Cagliari
been lying within the Military Port just at the balk I f
the King's palace, where his Majesty could, on occasion of
his "angel's visits" to tl e a ital, feast his eyes on th e,
one of the great triumphs of his vast naval power. N. sr
she was anchored off, under the protection of the British
guns. f have made some inquiries as to her size and con-
' aition, facts whi:di will posses• some interest fur the reader.
Her length is 195 feet, and 15 feet 8 inches in the beam ;
she carries 58:1 tons, and is of 60. horse power ; besides the
captain, there were eighteen hands on board, one of whom,
poor Fromento, it is reared will not live long to enjoy the
liberty so recertly secured, rnd fin, which sickness had
made him pine for now so many months. On the evenirg
of the 18th, the captain and two mates dined with the
officers, and toasts were given in honour of the sovereigns
of the two allied States, of congratulation to the prisoners,
and wishes expressed for the strong union and friendship
of Great Britain and Sardinia. Up to this time, the Cag-
liari had not hoisted any flag. On Saturday she clean cl
out ; late in the evening she procured her bill of health,
and on Sunday morning, at six o'clock, she lett the port of
Naples, which she entered a year ago within a fe.v dAya,
the Sardinian flap flying at her peak. it is a graceful att
on the part of our Goverument in having sent i) Mr.
Barber, who has taken so prompt and energetic a part in
this trying affair, to deliver her up to the Sardinian aotho-
ri ies. On the arrival of the crew in Naples, the Port
Admiral acknowledged the courtesy of Captain Clifford, in
going down to Salerno for ,hem, intimating the great diffi-
culty there would have been in bringing them up by rail.
THE DANISH DUCHIES.

Lie Journal de Dresde declares that there is no
foundation for the statement that France has taken
measures for bringing the question of the Duchies
before the European Conference ; and it Fives room
to believe that the Confederation is about to proceed
with energy against Denmark.
