NAPLES.—The Semaphore of of the

the Neapolitans was 2,000 killed and 1,600 wounded.

NEW PRUSSIAN MINISTRY.

The Berlin par re to the 22nd, which have reached
us, contain the official list of the new ministry. It is
to be oomposed as follows :—Gen. von Minister-
President and Minister of War; Eichmann, Interior;
Von Bonin, Finance ; the ministry of foreign affairs
has been given ad interim to Count von lkinhoff • the
ministry of agriculture is entrusted to the Minister of
the Interior : and that of commerce, industry, and
public works to the Minister of Finance. The ministry
atlantics is entrusted to Under-State-Secretary Muller.
The failure of Von Beckerath's combination was
rumoured as probable, and the conjecture has thus been
verified. It was hoped that the result of the fall of
the Auerswald ministry would have been the nomi-

The awful tragedy I have narrated is now to be relieved
be the noble conduct of the French admiral, Baudin.
No sooner had the news of this bloc ly attack reached
him, at Ischia (Naples), when a steamer was immediately
sent off to Mellilit, with orders to the commander of the
French squadron, desiring him to intimate to General
Pilsegieri that malt a mode of warfare must be suspended,
mad that the French test bad orders to fire on the Neapolitan
Roses if they did not immediately suspend operations. At
the same time, Admiral Baudin dressed • letter to Sir W.
Parker somewhat to the following effect :
" Sir,—Similar reports of the late events at Messina will

jesty's forces have acted in perfect unison with those of the

for that strict neutrality which my government has com-
manded me to observe ; but nations as well as individuals
might ever to observe the dictates of humanity, and I feel
we eeescience tell me that we must put a stop to the atroci-
ties now going on in Sicily. My opinion is that the time for
advising with the Neapolitan cabinet is over, and I let you
know that I ordered the commander of my forces, to signify
to General Filangieri, as well as the Sicilians, that not
another shot shall be find on either aide before I receive in-
structions from my government. I hope you will ham simi-
lar orders to your forces ; but whatever may be your deter-
mination mine is taken.—l have the honour, &c., BAUDIN.
—To Admiral Sir W. Parker."
Admiral Parker's reply was somewhat to this effect :
" Sir,—l beg you will excuse the slight delay in not an-
swering your letter immediately, but I have been much en-
gaged. I feel, as you do, the gusted honer for the excesses
now going on in Sicily, and am equally persuaded of the no.

terms to the executive council of the Canton of Ticino,

prove that the government of the Tessin has not either the
will or the power to tepee:Anthem acted hostility, and that its
declarations of maintaining a good understanding with ns
are illusory. I feel, therefore compelled by my duty to take
without delay the measures therefor,
indicated in my note of
the 19th August—measures founded on the right of every
state to preserve itself from aggressions, direct or indirect,
made by • neighbouring power. I declare, then, that after
the 18th of this present month :
1. All the Temmois living in the Lombardo-Venstlan pro-
vinces shall receive an order to return into their own coun-
try. 2. That after the same day all postal and commercial
communications shall cease between the said canton and
Lombardy. 3. That no pupal delivered by the govern.
ment shall be available until it has been " vise" by the im-
perial envoy accredited to the federal diet. It depends en-
tirely on the council of Torino to put an end to these India-
peesable measures for the public safeguard and tranquillity
which are confided to me, by attending to • just demand
founded on the rights of nations.—Ranwraxt.
This despatch was answered by the executive go-
, vernment of the Canton of Tessin, who declared that
they protested against the proposed measures. They
then forwarded it to the Diet, and on the 19th the
Diet deliberated on it. Great in d.' tion was mani-
fested at the tone and pteoeeomgs of Marshal
Radeiski, and eventually the matter was referred to
a committee to decide on what should be done. On
the 19th the threatened rupture of postal and other
communications between Tessin and Lombardy took
place, and the mails had to go in a different direction.

Our correspondent, writing on the 19th, informs al
that a financial decree has been issued in relation es
the overdue dividends on the home debt. By tbs
last Treasury arrangement both the foreign and boa
creditors were mulcted of 25 per cent. off their divi-
dends, and the new decree proposes as a compels.
tion for this act of pillage that inscriptions (in flee s
new stock) should be created to the amount of the
abstracted 25 percent., these inscriptions to bear it
tercet at 3 per cent., but this benefit is conceded solely
to the home creditors, while not one word is mid it
the decree in respect to the foreign bondholder. Mg
government are also said to be making strenuous sr.
rangementa to remit to England one hundred contra
of rein monthly, for the purpose of pa ing a
dividend, and the general Impression is that aaa
government will do this. The proposed creation el
inscriptions is to take effect from the commencement
of the current financial year.
