NAPLES.—We bavo received despatches from our
correspondent at Naples to the 4th instant. In the
latter is confirmed the news which appeared in our
journal on Monday of the ultimatum proposed by the
Neapolitan government with the OCRICIIITCOC3 of the
mediating powers; but it appears that the admirals
and the ministers, entertaining a strong persuasion
that the clause insisted on by the king excepting from
the amnesty 30 or 40 of the leading Sicilians, includ-
ing Ruggiero Settimo himself, would render it
impossible for the Sicilians to accept it. The admi-
rals, in the hope of inducing the king to retract
this claw, again went to Gaeta on the 3rd
inst., and bad returned on the 4th, but the result
of their visit had not transpired. It was announced
that the British squadron was to sail for Palermo, and
if, on arriving there, it was found that the ultimatum
was rejected, it was then to leave, and the war would
immeately recommence. At the boar our corres-
CPt despatched his letters, however, the squadron
I; yet left the Bay of Naples, and it was still
hoped that the exceptions to the amnesty would be
withdrawn. Meanwhile the most active preparations
were made for the resumption of hostile operations
against Sicily.
The address to the king had been voted in the
Chamber by a majority of 79 to 23.
