XP&ESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1847.

The Moniteur of Monday publishes the following
royal ordinance:
Desiring to give to the Marshal Duke de Dalmatia a tar-
timony of our satidaction commensurate with the great ser-
vices which he has rendered ns, and the distinction of his
glorious career, we have ordained and do ordain as follows :
Art. 1. The Marshal Duke de Dalmatia is nominated
Marshal-General of France.
The ordinance is dated Saint Cloud, the 26th. The
Moniteur also contains the following note in reference
to it:
The King, in conferring on the Marshal Duke de Dalmatie
the honorary title of Marshal-General of France, has done
for him what was done in 1660 for Marshal Turenne, and in
1732 for Marshal de Villars—a merited recompense of their
great services and their glorious careers.
"It was reported yesterday," says the Prase,
" that the Minister of Finance had positively an-
nounced to several 'members of the Chamber of
Deputies that the loan would be indefinitely post-
poned, and that he had found means to procure re-
sources until the spring. The formation of a com-
mittee of receivers-general, with M. Delahaute as
president, to centralise the resources which these gen-
tlemen can offer to the treasury until the loan is
effected, was also spoken of. The minister, it is said,
in order to do without the loan until spring, reckons
on the disposable resources of the Bank of France, of
the Caisse des Depoui et Consignations, and of the
receivers-general."
The (barrier Francais says:
A letter from Athens of a very recent date informs us that
the very day after the death of M. Coletti, very serious dis-
cussions arose with respect to the division of his political
succession. The minister of England, Sir E. Lyons,
having learned that the King, on the solicitation of M. Pis-
eatery, appeared decided to confide the presidency. of the
council to M. Rigas ralamides, Minister of tho Interior, went
to the King and signified to him that the choice of that per-
sonage, a declared enemy of England, would be regarded
with a very bad eye by the government of Great Britain.

The Nouvelliste of Marseilles gives on the authority
of its correspondent at Naples the following in refer-
moo to the insurrection in Calabria ; but from the
uncertainty attending all communications in that part
of the peninsula, it must be received with reserve:
The inceesa of the insurgents in Calabria la ...armed.
Every day, fresh communes declare in favour of the move-
ment, and reinforce the bands of the insurgents. The greater
part of the coast connected with the principal towns which
are in insurrection has also declared in their favour. A
sanguinny csnflict has taken place between the bands of
Romeo and the royal troops commanded by General Nun-
simile, who has five battalions under his orders. Upwards
of 300 of the King's soldiers were either killed or taken pri-
soners; amongst the deed were found a colonel and a captain.
On their aide, the insurgents had also a good number killed
or taken prisoners. Alter this affair, Romeo sent to propose
to General Nunziante en exchange of prisoners, but he re-
plied that it was too late, as the prisoners who had fallen
ints his power had been at once shot. Romeo in reprisal
had the prisoners taken by his men also put to death. The
tactics of Romeo appear to be to advance constantly, organ
lying the insurrection in all the districts he passes through,
respecting in all cases the property and persons of the inha-
bitants. It is these continual marches which the govern-
meat journal calls a flight before the King's troops. The
government has sent moveable columns into Calabria and
the other provinces where it is afraid that the insurrection
may spread. As I have already stated, General Stratella
has assumed the command-in-chief of the Calabrian troops.
It is stated that the King has disapproved of the executions
ordered by General Nunziante; but the latter has alleged in
his justification that orders were sent him by which hn was
enjoined to have every insurgent taken with arms io his
hand put to death. It is very difficult for me to make you
acquainted with what is passing in Sicily; no letter reach.°
us, and no one can attempt, without compromisiug himself,
to penetrate tke mystery in which the government envelopes
all its acts in this country.
The Nuremburg Correspondent, Sept. 23, says that
the news of the dysentery having broken out among
the Austrian troops in the garrison of Ferrara is
confirmed.

The Augsburg Gazette says that it was Count
Fiquelmont who demanded and obtained the dismis-
sal of the Prince of Canino. The viceroy would have
wished to have avoided an l'elat, and to have preserved
the prince in the Venice congress on account of his re-
markable learning. Three commissaries repaired to
the prince's residence and delivered him his passports.
The prince said he had fully expected what was now
taking place ; but that he would offer them a present
before he set off, as a keep-sake. Ho then presented
each of them with a pontifical cocarde.
The republic of Saint Marino has just felt the
counter-stroke of the affairs of Italy. It is known
that this little spot, surrounded on all sides by the
states of the church, has always preserved its inde-
pendency. It counts a population of about 7,000
souls, all agriculturists. Its government is composed
of two captains (regents), to whom is entrusted the
executive power; of a secretary of state for home
'affairs, and of another for foreign affairs, and of a
council of state. This last named assembly has just
been converted into a chamber of representatives,
named by, all the inhabitants, and it has been declared
that all deliberations in this assembly are hence-
forward to be public.

The Madrid mails of the 22nd have arrived, but
their contents are unimportant. Mr. Bulwer had left
Madrid on a visit to La Granja. M. Urrea had
arrived from London, with a letter from General Es-
partero for the Queen, thanking her Majesty, and
assuring her that he is animated with a desire to
defend her rights and interests.

NAPLES, SEPT. 11.
The accounts which have appeared in various
prints relative to the state of Naples are vague, and in many
instances without foundation. The difficulty, in fact, of ob-
taining any information in this city on the revolutionary
movements of Sicily and the Neapolitan provinces is exceed-
ingly great. Every morning brings new reports, which
are generally. contradicted in the evening. The policy of the
government is to conceal, as much as possible, every event
calculated to excite popular curiosity. Notwithstanding, a
stifled feeling of indignation and fear possesses all, classes.
Sicily is completely beet to us ; no communication whatever
is allowed. Occasionally the official and only news
journal of Naples does not appear. The accounts
of the late movements in Sicily were scantily re-
corded in that paper. I have the best authority for stating
that the government has not much faith in the army. Some
officers and many privates joined the people both in
Palermo and Reggio during the late events. These officers
are now imprisoned at the Castle of St. Elmo. Arrests are
daily taking place. No questions are asked ; the suspected
parties are taken off at midnight, and we hear nothing more
of them. The King is no longer seen. A great many pro-
motions have taken place in the army. In case of any popu-
lar demonstration in Naples, the Austrians are to be
called in, which declaration has incensed the Neapolitans
beyond measure. Spies are about in every direction, droned
as priests, beggars, &c. No one dares to speak one word of
politics, yet all the youth of the city are known to be ready
to fly to gram
A pamphlet appeared some days since, entitled "Storia
di Santa Maria della Glaris," and was sold throughout the
city. It contained a history of the present King Ferdinand
11. and his mother, the Dowager Queen. The scandalous
life of the latter was fully narrated. The author throws
doubt on the legitimacy of the reigning monarch. His
priestly education is condemned. That his mini was
com-
pletely moulded by the church there can be little doubt, for
up to this day he is the tool of Monsigneur Cocolo, his con-
fessor, through whom the royal car may be gained—by
paying. You may imagine how soon this publication was
suppressed ; and now sax ducats are paid for a copy. A
French printer was arrested u the publisher of this work,
and whipped to confess. However, the unhappy man
had nothing to say. A certain De Raffaele a said
to bo the author; he escaped on board one of the French
men-of-war which are hovering about the bay. The
French fleet left on the Ilth. Bennucci, who held a
very high post in the customhouse, was arrested three
weeks ago, upon the supposition of his having assisted
Romeo, the head of the insurgents at Reggio. He died sud-
denly the name night. No one is any longer safe in Naples.
A revolt ie daily expected. For my own part, I think it
more than probable that some movement will take place,
and a portion of the army of 60,000 men may join
the people. But the Swim regiments will stand by the
government, and no doubt triumph. On the other hand,
Naples is not ripe to receive any constitutional reforms.
The Neapolitans are the least educated and the most bigoted
of Italians. A corrupt government has thoroughly entered
into the spirit of the people.
I could give you many other reports, but I prefer con-
fining myself to such facts aal know to be correct. I must
add, that it is well known his Majesty intends to resist, at
any cost, that dictation which the sister states of Italy are
forcing on their respective sovereigns.

FRANCE.--PARie, SEPT. 27.—MDLLE. DE LUZZI.
—The investigation into the affair of Mdlle. de Luzzi is still
going on. Several witnesses have been interrogated, and
commissions to examine have been forwarded to several tri-
bunals in the country, and especially to that of Melon, to in-
quire into matters anterior to the period of the crime, and
connected more particularly with the position of Mdlle. de
Luzzi in the Priudin family. It is not until after those in-
quiries have been concluded, that she can be again examined.
She is now kept less strictly than before, and has received
permission to receive certain visits.
COURT AND CAMP AT COMPIEGNE.-011 Friday,
1 the King took leave of the camps at Compigne. The whole
of the royal family (except the Dukes de Nemours and de
Moutpenner, who had preceded them in order to be ready to
receive them at the head of their respective divisions), left
the palate in chars-d-bane for the ground, accompanied by
the coin c and attended by their suite. In one of the carriages
was the Persian ambassador, with his son, son-in-law, and
mounted his horse to ride along the
suite. On* reaching the Plateau of Corbolieu, in frc:nt of
1 the camps,
.the King

ranks, followed by the Queen and the rest of the family in
the carriages. The two divisions occupied a space of above
a league in diameter, around which were rising grounds
affording the spectators a full view of the whale scene.
The King, attended by the princes and a numerous staff,
and followed by a great number of personages specially
invited, among whom was the Persian =humidor, rode
along the fronts of the lines, each company, as he passed,
saluting and hailing him with cries of " Vive is Roi !" This
operation, which lasted two hours, being terminated, the
' troops were formed in squares in the centre of the ground,
his Majesty placing himself in the front. The colours of
each regiment were stationed at the head of the columns,
with the soldiers of all ranks who were to be invested with the
cross of the Legion of Honour. The drums having called
attention, Gen. Trizel, the Minister of War, called over in
succession the names of those who were to be created mem-
bers of the order, or raised to a higher rank in it. This cere-
mony concluded, the King and royal family moved to the
Plateau de Marignv, and here took up another station,
while his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, attended
by his staff, filed off in front of his Majesty at the head
of the whole of the troops, which made a most martial
and well-disciplined appearance. The royal party then
returned to the palace, which they did not enter till six
o'clock. There was a grand dinner, at which, as on the
preceding day, the Persian ambassador was seated on the
left hand of the Queen. In the evening there was a reception.
The ceremony of the distribution of crosses comprised an
interesting episode. In the 3rd company of Sapeure are two
twin-brothers, named Moulinier, from the department of the
Herault. One of them was drawn as a recruit, and had no
grounds of exemption, and therefore was forced to enter the
army. Their separation was so distressing to both that the other
brother went and offered himself as a volunteer, on condition
that he should be placed in the same regiment as his brother.
This was acceded to, and they have constantly remained toge-
ther. One of them, but not the other, was engaged in the siege
of Constantine, and, in consequence of his good conduct, was
marked for the cross. This distinction, however, gave him
more pain than pleasure, because his brother was not to par-
ticipate in it. By some means this feeling became known to
the Duke de Nemours, who, sympathising with it, joined
with the Minister of War in petitioning the King to grant a
cross to each. His Majesty at once consented, and among
those who received crosses on Thursday were the twins of the
Wraith. The King, with the Queen, the Duchem of Or-
leans, the Count de Paris, and the Duke de Chartres, left
Compiegne on Saturday for St. Cloud, where they arrived at
seven in the evening.
SAXONY.—DRESDEN.—A letter from this capital
states that the municipal council of that city had decided to
petition the novernment against allowing ctpital executions
to be public. The municipal council considers, that iude-
pendently of such sights producing a bad effect on the spec-
tators, they are in evident contradiction with the courses of
criminal proceedings in Saxony, where all such matters are
conducted with closed doors. . . .

HAI ri.-PORT-A1.7-PRINCE, Arc. 23.—A letter
of the above date, and later by a day than the advicee lately
received, states that the disturbances which had taken place
there turned out to be of a less serious character than had
been supponed. It was, in Get, only a conflict between the
pretensions of some chiefs of the armed forces, which had led
to the collision that so alarmed the people, The Minister of
the Inkrior put an end to the disturbance, by sending off
Generals Semclien and Alerts to the Haitian Cape, where
the President was staying.
