NAPLES.—We have received despatches from
our Naples correspondent of the 21st. No news of
importance had arrived from Sicily. A report was cir-
culated that the Neapolitans were about t 7 recommence
hostilities, but our correspondent rates that the
orders gi7en by the French admiral, in contemplation
of such a contingency, were so clear and positive that
it was not at all likely that such an event would
ensue. Naples was tranquil, but great public discon-
tent prevailed. The Minister of the Interior, Bozzelli,
refused to allow any of the proposed reforms to be
carried. A movement at Cosenza was spoken of. The
general feeling was that the chambers ought to be
convoked.

GERMAN Y.

SUPPRESSION OF THE INSURRECTION IN
BADEN.-STRUVE SHOT.

The insurrection in the grand duchy of Baden
has been for the present suppressed, and the
leader, Gustavus Struve, has been taken and shot,
pursuant to martial law. It is now ascertained that
another republican movement had been long con-
templated—the failure of the previous one under the
popular Hecker and the energetic Bonstedt not hav-
ing damped the spirits of their partisans—and that
the recent insurrection in Frankfort was the signal
for the outbreak. No sooner was the movement ir,
the above free city arrested than the central executive
turned their attention to Wurtemberg, Baden, and
the two Hesees, and began to make the necessary
military preparations for meeting the republicans in
those states. Troops were first despatched to Baden,
where the danger appeared most imminent, and those
imperial troops, accompanied by the military force of
that duchy itself, pushed on from Friburg to the
little town of Staufen (about four German leagues
from the former); and commenced the attack on the
24th on the republicans quartered in that place. After
an obstinate contest they defeated them, giving for
a time no quarter. A part of the town on
which the cannon played wee set on fire. The
insurgents were attacked in front and rear by the
Bavarian, Austrian, and Baden troops, so that escape
was a matter of considerable difficulty. The fugitives
were mercilessly cut down by the dragoons, who re-
fused all quarter. The number of the insurgents is
variously given, being set down at from 500 to 1,600,
including some 300 natives of Piedmont and the
Italian cantons of Switzerland. The remainder of
the discomfited corps reached Mullheim, where the
latest accounts left them preparing for a defence a
roulrance. In that place, as well as in Lorrach and
Schliengen, there are many determined republicans.
A considerable portion of Baden, including all the
so-called Rheinthal, has been placed under martial
I law. According to the Mannheim Abend Zeitung, the
insurgents who retreated to Mullheim have raised en-
trenchments near that town.
In Struve's proclamations, issued from his head-
tzters at Lorrach on the Ast, he orders the aboli-
tion dell feudal dues and imposts (except, so far as
the latter are concerned, those levied on the frontiers
of Germany), the introduction of en income tax, and
the 10 per cent. reduction of the customs dues in
Baden. From Lorrach he marched with his adhe-
rents to Schliengen' and thence proceeded by the rail-
way (of which he took possession) to Mullheim and
',tauten' crescent eundo in men and in money—ac-
quiring the latter by seizing the public treasuries. It
is not stated in the Frankfort and Baden papers
whether it was at ',tauten or at Krotzingen (where
the insurgents were also defeated) that Struve was
taken prisoner, bat the Frankfort journals positively
announce—and one in a semi-official manner—that he
was shot on the morning of the 25th, pursuant to the
sentence of a court martial. The same fate awaits 80
other prisoners—at least sentence of death has been
reearded against them.
PRUSSIA.—We have received the Berlin papers
of the 27th. Everything was quiet on the 26th.
The ministry have yielded to the wishes of the As-
sembly in the matter of Stein's motion, so that all
cause of disturbance is over. In the sitting of the As-
sembly on the 25th M. Unruh read the following
question I ask the ministers what position they I
intend to assume in regard to the resolutions of MM.
Stein and Schulze of the 9th of August and 7th of
September; and whether, in the event of their not
having taken measures to carry those resolutions, it
be their intention so to do?"--General Pfael replied:
As regards the resolutions of the house of the 9th of
Angela and 7th of September, I must first observe
that the late War Minister, Von Schreckenstein, issued
acireelar to generals in command. Upon coming into
oleo I forwarded the *Mowing circular to all general
laws and military governor., accompanied by the
sdaieterial programme of the 23rd :
