THE ULTIMATUM FOR NAPLES.

The Peal Amid Gaulle, in a letter from Vienna of
Sept. 19, gives what purports to be a summary of
the ultimatum addressed by the Western Powers to
the King of Naples. The note, though according to
the telegraphic despatches it bad not reached the
Neapolitan government up to the 18th instant. must
be upon its way to Naples already (says the Vienna
correspondent on the 19(h), if we may rely upon
the declarations which Lord Seymour and Baron de
Bourgueney have made to the Austrian cabinet. " 1
am positively informed that this note expresses a
Gilmore wish on the part of the Western Powers to
Ifeeilitate a settlement of the affair which shall be
Ilibnourable to the King of Naples. They acknow-
ledge that it is impossible toe the Neapolitan
government under existing circumstances to grant a
general amnesty. They limit themselves, cones-

RUSSIA.

BERLIN, WIDNIIIDAY.

Letters from St. Petersburg say that the departure
of the Emperor Alexander for Mosoow is fixed for
August 13.

An Imperial ukase extends the amnesty aeoorded
to the refugees of the western governments of Russia
to individuals who took part in the events of 1830
and 1831. No judicial proceedings can be instituted
against them. They will have merely to take an oath
of fidelity to the sovereign, and their rights will be
restored to them. They will be considered capable of
exercising government employments after three years'
good conduct.

DRAMA.

A burlesque tragedy was produced at this theatre
last sight. It is called Medea, or a Libel as the Lady of
each: ; and is stated t freely adapted (rem Mr.
Thomas Williams's translation of Signor Joseph Morita-
WWI rept glutton of Monsieur Err c,t LrytoeWs imitation
of Euripides." It is, of course, a tray • of the Italian
Medea, performed et the Lyceum, with ludicrous imitation
of the perimeters, especially of Madame Eiatori. It is en-
tirely in the style of the hut'. sque pieces to which we ere
accustomed at Christmas and Easter, and which are gene-
rally confined to those periods ; so that at preeeat it may be
thought somewhat oat of anion. Such things ate written in
a stereotyped form; some serious, romantic, or tragic subject
is taken, and made ridinilous by dialogue in dowel
rhyme, absurd dresses, and acting carried to the extreme
of buffoonery ; while the audience are mere or less amused
by jokes, puce, cockney ph , satirical hits at the puslog
follies of the day, and mock sentimental singing. Pieces of
this sort got for • time unto great vogue, and almost eseudad
the pantomime from our holiday entertainment" ; bat they
have been much overdose, and latterly the old-fashioned
pantomime has beea rest ,red to its accustomed plena in all
the theatres. Now the present burlesque is (as has been
said) just one of these holiday piece., brought out ate time
when such things are not looked for ; the Adelphi managers
it would seem, having been tempted by the oppor-
tufty of extracting fun out of the grand end beautiful
tragic perforation!' which the public are at prams'
inkling. It is very well doze; written with emartnam,
and even wit, capitally put upon the stage, and very cleverly
sated. Bet it Is too long, and too laboured ; and we doubt,
moreover, it it is calculated to please either those who are
acquainted with the Italian performances or thou who are
not. The former can scarcely derive pleasure, we should
think, from seeing the most sublime and touching fsatuna
of the great tragedian's acting, with which they Ease been
moat deeply moved, made the subject of ridicule turd mirth.
frog suing her most impassioned looks and gesturer, sad
hearing the very tones of her voice, profaned by the but-
'emery of Mr. John Wright : while, to the larger portion of
the audience, who have not even the Italian play, this ledi•
mons Wasik)* of it must appear simply unmeaning. We
manot help tbiaking,t'ierelore, that the clever author of
this pleas (whoever he is) has rest been happy in bin tholes
of a subject. The performance often dragged heavily, sad
the applause at the end was mingled with sufficiently au&
Ids disapprobation.

1/0 88888 OF ♦ CRIMEAN SOLDIER IN ♦ POBLIC•EOLEE.

Daniel Meearthy, Timothy Hags, George Hesneeey,

ruffianly-looking and cowardly fellows, end James Ashton,
an old man, wen brought before Mr. Combs, c►arged with
stealing a pone containing nit* sovereigns, seine Ulm, a
half-frame piece, and two Russian coins, from the person of
Thvmu Tyler, a private in the Grenadier Guards, under
the following daring cireunstanots:
The soldier, • gae•lookiag man, much sunburnt and
worn from the fatigue. and hardships he had undergone in
the Crimea, said that he arrived in London on
Wednesday morning, with the remnant of the
Guards, to rtselve the approbation of eke Queen and
e)untry. Lest evening he wu walking along the Newest,
and fooling thirsty, he wrist into the Windmill public-
bonze, when he saw the prisoners Ashton and Hog►n, who
forced themselves in his company, end unversed with
bins about the campaign in_ the Crimea, saying

. ,
that they were pleased to lee the Guards back. Wittiest
told them he wee also pleased to return safe and sound,
and they drank together. After feminine there a short
time, the prisoners asked him to go into the Cathedral
beer-hones, in King-.trot, a very low place, where they
had more beer. The other primers ease in a. .d joined in
conversation about the Crimea& war. Witness treated
them to more beer, and when be palled out his puree sad
was about to take the mosey oat to pay for it, Hagan
snstt►ed it out of his hand, sad pared fete Macsrthy. He
was ►but to panne him to mats his purse when Ashton
' seised him ►y the arms, sad Heanamy pushed him
down on the mat. Maearthy and Hagen, therefore, had as
opportunity of getting away with his purse, which oen-
tained sine sovereigns, some silver messy, a half•frare
pier., and two Russian copper coins. Ammon as he was able
to get away from Ashton and Hennessy he suspected they
were connected with the thieves, eoutettemitly he called in a
unstable, sad gave them into custody. The other pri-
mal were afterwards takes fate custody. Oa Msesstby
wee found a half-treat piece and two RIMINI copper Goias
similar to them that were in his parse, and be
believed them to be his property. Witness was perfectly
sober, and the NUM he treated the prisoners in the MASON'
he did, wee that be believed they were honest Britons, and
that they really thanked the army for the arduous service
which they had perfcemed for their country la the Crimea.
However, he was aafortaaately mistaken, and instead of
thanks they bad robbed him of his hard-earned mosey is a

A Bnuteele correspondent of the Pays writes that
the Belgian government is about to ask of the Cham-
bers the necessary powers to prosecute the authors of
pamphlets and articles insulting to foreign sovereigns,
and adds that "if, contrary to expectation, juries
should show any indulgence—if, giving way to a
weakness, which would be in fact nothing else than
a fear of reprisals from the pamphleteers, they should
not dare to pronounce just and severe verdicts, it
appears certain that the ministry has resolved to
propose such modifications ot the press law of 1852,
al will ensure a legitimate repreesion of such infa-
mous offences."

The ROurse has bean in an uncertain state. The
Rote rose 10c. for oub, and fell 15c. for account,
doling at 76'r. 30c. and 75fr. 40c. Credit Mobilier
fell 25fr. The Mediterranean railway rose 27fr. 60c.;
Lyons, 2fr. 50c.; Orleans, 10fr.; and Grand Central,
Ifr. 25c., but all the other lines were lower. I am
informed that the Finance Minister refuses to sanc-
tion the fusion between the Orleans and Grand
Central Railway, on the ground that the terms are
too unfavourable to the shareholders in the latter

Sir 0. GREY said the hoe. gentleman did not teem to be
swan of the distinction between persoes undergoing im•
prisonment for criminal amiss, who might be fit subjects
for the exercise of the =initial prerogative of the crown,
and persons who were imprisoned for debt, over whom the
crown had no power, and wl'o could be only released at the
@opense of the creditors. He did not understand the pur-
port of the hon. gentleman's question, because, as he under-
stood the present state of the law, no penes could be under-
going imp►isonment for debt unless be refused to avail
himself of the provisions of the law for the purpose of
obtaining his release.

COMMUNICATION WITH INDIA.

Lord STANLEY asked the Baud of
Control whether any steps were being taken by the Indian
governmeot to facilitate the estithlisliment of a line of Isle
graphic and other o mmunketion between England sad
India, through the Eaphratee Valley ?
Mr. V. SMITH said that the Didion government took
the greatest Interest in the schemes Froposed for facilitatieg
communication with India. There were at primal two or li
three schemes under consideratioa, into the details of which
it wm sot possible fir the ladies government at prompt to
eater, as those details were not yet fully before them. With
regard to the telegraph, that stood in exactly the same put-
ties. There had been one proposal to carry the telegraph
to Alexandria, and thence to India by the Red Sea, bat, the
answer of the Indian government to that proposal was, that
they would not give any opinion till the tel. graph was com-
pleted as far as Alexandria. Another prop esal was to carry
the telegraph from &lacing to join the Euphrates, and
thence to India. Dr. O'dhaughossey gave the preference to
the latter plan.

MALTA, Mar 15.

The peace of the town has not been disturbed since

PORTUGAL.

LISBON, JOLT n.
On the afternoon of the 19th inst. the King closed
the last legislative session of the Portuguese Cortes
for this year. The King was accompanied by the
Infante Dom Luiz, and was received by a numerous
deputation of the peers and deputies. The Cortes being
assembled in the hall of the Chamber of Deputies, his
Majesty spoke as follows :
Worthy Peers of the R• alm end Deputies of the Portu-
guese nation,—ln closing the present session, which tofu
the legislative preeeediess of the yeti., I must satin ac-
knowledge the gratification I feel is finding myself among
the national repmenta , sod 'lenity my satisfaction
at the semi which you have manifested in the 'mention of
your important legislative functions.
You are already assist of the ewes which produced the
charge of ministry is the beginning of June.
With a due appreciation of the pres.nt imperious met-
elty for t►e smeliorati n of means of internal eomasnaies-
tion, through the egsncy of roads aid railways, you have
not hesitated to vote the measures which the pressmen'
sought at your hands for this purpose.
ceogratulate you fur this; and I rest assured t►at all
oar wishes ire satisfied, teeing that the public works are
proceeding without interruption, and on the most extended
Kele, in order that the country may the sooner enj sy the
immeasurable benefits which must arise from their den-

lopeaent.
The crop* this year promise no better than they did the
lut. At the same time, io consequence of the measures for
the reduction of the evil which you have sanctioned, and,
above ell, tbnugh the erp limier of Providence, I hope
we shell be able to surmount the chili* without experiencing
an overwhelming set sr of its terrible effect,.
I heartily deplore the Ism that the scourge of cholera
merlins has again Invaded the capital and other parts of the
kingdom. Still, the gravity of the dims' is diminishing,
though it has aev,r mistimed an alarming character., and its
ravages have been end are mollifird by means of prompt
succones to the billeted.

I am gratified m being able to announce to you that
the public trampling hu been twitter:spud throughout
the kingdom.
Worthy pen of the Realm and Deputies of the Porto•
gone nation,—l am catsie that, in the al:Pence of your
I parliamentary !atoms, you will cautions to render important
si reins, fortifying the pi ople iii a spirit of mildness and
toleration, and i-. a rinse of obedience to the laws.
The session in closed.

ITALY.

TURIN, has 24.
The debate in parliament on the Italian question
seems to have lulled all the Italian constituttooallstm
into quiet, although some fear that the movement of
Spain may spread further. As long as General Garrett
last the head of a party his quiet cool courage and his
pure liberal opinions are sore in the end to get the
better of the ever changing, passionate character of
O'Donnell. Mszzini is at present keeping up a sharp
fire of letters, but his party mart be inbignificaot in-
deed in point of numbers, as it is scarcely possible to
get any one to take the trouble to listen to any remark
about him. Recollect I only speak of Piedmont.
True, he has a few friends in Genoa, but not one of
them has the slightest idea of giving physical
assistance.
As in some of my communications I may have ap.
peered to be severe upon the Austrian military, I
gladly seize the opportunity of reporting a circum-
stance which redounds to the honour of General
Degenfeld, who commands at Bologna. I have
inquired in various quarters, and I have come to the
conclusion that the statement I quote below is pure
truth = but to give Mr. Bowyer and the friends of
Cardinal Grasselici an opportunity of contradicting
it, I give my authority. I have shown the article to
many, even to friends of the church, and the answer
has been, " Such, unfortunately, is often the conduct
of our cardinals," and then hey allude to the promo-
tion of the Lisbon nuncio for his gaieties.
The Unions of Turin, of 20th July, says:—
" Most horrible stories are now being told of the con-
duct of the Legate Grassellini, at Bologna, and from
the inquiries made there is no doubt of the truth.
The cardinal's gardener bad a daughter, who was
considered to be the prettiest girl in Bologna, and
was engaged to be married to a young Bolognese.
His Eminence took a fancy to her, and attempted to
seduce the girl, but she not listening, he had recourse
to Roman prelate mai muvree, and banished the pro-
posed husband, so that the girl may purchase his
return at the expense of her honour. But finding
even this would not do, under the pretext of heresy,
the poor creature was taken from her parents and
thrown into prison. The parents went immediately
to the Austrian General Degenfeld. Cardinal Gras-
sellini pretended to know nothing about it, but the
general knew his man and threatened force. The
girl was set at liberty and given over to her parents.
The treatment she had received in pt ison was so hor-
rible, that what between shame and suffering the poor
girl expired in a few daya"

MONTENEGRO.

A letter from Trieste, in the Cologne Gaulle, says:
" We have received today, by Dalmatia, intelligence

3,500 men had advanced towards Cettiogen, under
the command of Murki Petrowitch. This expedition
is directed against the district of Kouci, which has
refused to pay the annual tribute to Prince Da
nick)."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(mow ova owx C0111111POWD3NT.)
PARIS, FRIDAY ETIIIIIIO
It was at one time thought a settled thing that
Prince Dolgoroaki was to be the permanent Russian
Ambassador in Paris. Doubts about the appointment
I hen been lately exprened, and I now leans that it will
not be made. Prince Dolgorouki has lately married
a Mademoiselle St. Priest, a lady of French origin,
whose family has been some time settled in Russia,
where the Bt. Priests occupy u high a place among
the aristocracy as their relatives of that name hare
long done in France. Now it happens that the St.
Prints " ea cousin" with most of the great legitimist
families in the Faubourg St. Germain, and on this
ground it has been thought on reflection that Prises
Dolgoronki is not the man to be sent here.
Count Orloff will certainly leave in a few days. The
disease in his eyes is not so serious as has been re-
presented, but hitherto it has prevented him from
asking an audience of the Emperor to take leave.
He is very much better, and was present at the Mite
at Sr. Cloud, yesterday.
The Pays expresses its disbelief of the news that a
diplomatic commission is about to meet at Vienna
under the presidency of M. de Bourqueoey, to discuss
the affairs of Italy. It receives with similar doubt
the statemeat that Cardinal Aatonelli, the Pope's
prime minister, is to be replaced by Cardinal Vials
Preis.

Notwithstanding the news of the reduction of diu•
count by the Bank of England, the Bonne has been
very heavy today. There are accredited reports
that a new loan is imminent. The Rents fell 10c.
both for cash and account, closieg at 75fr. 100. and
75fr. 30c. Credit Mobilier fell 26fr. Railways
(with scarcely an exception) were lower. Lyons fell
12fr. 50c., and Mediterranean 25fr.

The mew credit society of Paris sham were done at
1601 r. premium. Notwithstanding an official deals'
published in all the journals, it is quite understood that
this speculation is but a child of the Credit Mobilier,
and that the formation of the new society is a device
to evade the prohibition of the government against
the proposed scheme of the parent institution to in-
crease its capital.

THE ILLUMINATIONS.

Mr. T. GUM:OUSE wished to tukeguestfrn in re-
f, Torts to the r port aching c lebrat on of her Majesty's
btradsy. An impreseion bed gone abroad that her Mejesiy's
goverment had give. orders fir a general illumination.
He believed the g'ive minuet had no such poem r. (Hear,
hear.) It ems believed that if pm p'e dud not illumine',
intero,ed patties would go about breeklog windows. He
wished to know whether if privete p ruin. did ant illumine,'
they would receive that pio:ection f r their pr. petty from
the police to which they were ant li d. A great number
would go out tore the lintworke,and the s'wan's w inlet go
toe, and i. wauld be very unpleaunt when they returned
home to gad their houses broken mto and flarainated in •
wly they did not expect. (" }llar," and laughter )
Sir G. GREY said there could not be the slightest
doubt that the government hid no power to order a gem-
nil illumination, and he had so awed in ant our to several
applicalme a ate ti him. He believed it wu now well
known that it was neither wishes! nor expected that there
should he a general illuminate n—that is. petrel in themes*

Turkish members of the commission charged to
settle the new boundaries of Bessarabia, pursuant to
the treaty of March 30, were about to leave for the

Part of thepersonwel of the new Russian embassy
have arrived at Constantinople.

tranquility.

The Ports has resolved to rs-organise its army,
which is to consist, in time of peace, of 100,000 men,
of whom 35,000 will be Christians.

PERSIA.

The Vagai Iranue, the official journal of the Per-
sian government, contains a singular article, being an
appeal to the two great sects of Islam, the Sunnite'
(Turks) and Shiites (Persians), exhorting them to
reconciliation and union, so that there may be but
one great Musalman people.
