NAPLES.—The Constitutionak of Florence states
on the authority of private correspondence, that at ;
Naples all the functionaries who formerly held offices
under Del Carretto, were being reinstalled. The
Jesuits were omnipotent at Naples.
We have received the following letter from our
correspondent :
NAPLES, Ocr. I.
I have had frequent occasion of late to speak of the
number of arrests which are constantly being made,
so frequent, indeed, that I have been almost afraid of
appearing to indulge in the ex ,gAeration of gossip.
so far, however, from decreasing, the evil seems
to be on the increase; and I hear of ins-
pects being taken up in every nook and corner
of the land. Last Saturday it was pretty gene-
rally reported that a decree had been signed on the
previous day, declaring the city in a date of siege; it
was not, however, published, as the king was expected
to leave first for Gaeta. All these who formed the
national guard on the 4th May are to bo arrested, or
at least called before the authorities, and the princi-
pal actors in the affair of that day are to be impri-
mooed and severely punished. Within the last two
days hundreds have been arrested—many have fled
in time—others are hid in different places. Some of
the noblest of the land have been dragged to prison,
with their hands tied behinds their backs, all
through the Toledo. Among them I may mention
the name of Duke Prom; Dentice escaped;
Prinoe St. Giacomo, when on the point of being
arrested, took refuge in the Russian embassy, and
saved himself for a time through the representations
of the ambassador. The two brothers Martin Zir, of
the Hotel Vittoria, have been taken, with many
others ; indeed it is said that 38,000 are to be
ex imined.

The court and his holiness the Pope will shortly
leave for Gaeta ; imprisoned indeed as his majesty is
within his palace walls, and coldly or wore-reoeivtd
l as has been the Pope, Naples can be no agreeable
• residence to either of them. The result of their short
) sijour must, I should think, be most mortifying.

In my last letter I spoke of a decree that had been
signed, authorising the putting of the city in a
state of siege. The publication of it depended on the
decision of the supreme court of justice, by whose
counsel has been formed a special court for
trying all political offences, and as this wart
is of a most arbitrary character, with all
the rigour of a military tribunal, admitting
of no appeal from its dicision, we may expect a con-
tinued Genes of vindictive acts. I can give you no
idea of the demoralised and disorganised state of
society throughout the kingdom, and instead of at-
temp's being made to improve it, everything, on the
contrary, appears to me to be done to sink it still
lower in infamy. The practise of denuncia-
tions is encouraged by the ready ear which
is lent to all secret information, whether anonymous
or coming from the most pestilential sours.
Thus a small country place w►th which I am ac-
quainted has been thrown into a state of consterna-
tion, in consequence of some secret enemy having
denounced thirty quiet inhabitants as "Carbonell,"
as the term is.

Amidst all this, it is highly consolatory and
edifying to learn from the government journal that
Panne Sebastian has painted an hinge of the Ma-
donna for the Cathedral of Sorrento, and that :the
monasteries of Naples continue to be cheered by so
"extraordinary a favour of providence" as a visit
from Pio IL
