ITALY.
NAPLES.

Our correspondent describes in his letter of the
14th several outrages on British subjects, and gene-
rally the system of uncivil and aggressive conduct
towards them on the part of the authorities. It is
only a short time since that a British passport was
refused in Naples, and its owner sent away, because
the police (without any proof), thought the traveller
was a " dangerous person." Three or four English
gentlemen, artists, were travelling, on a late occasion,
in the Neapolitan provinces; they were arrested by
the police, marched twenty miles between gendarmes,
imprisoned and insulted. Eventually they were
released, as their passports were perfectly en regle, and
themselves perfectly innocent of any offence whatever.
Here is another ease still stronger : Mr. Nlaudin t,
an Englishman, is the director and proprietor of oil
works in the Albruzsi. His manufactory is in a
small town called Nlonopello. On a late oc.
casion this gentleman left his works for a
1 day or two, and on his return found the windows
of Ills manufactory broken and his people in a great
state of alarm. Some gendarmes had, endeavoured
to break into the building for the purpose of abusing
the females employed in the works. Mr. :llaudint,
on learning the particulars of the case, applied to the
authorities of the place and requested the
gendarmes might be arrested. He had scarcely
returned home when two of the gendarmes
(entered and began to abuse him, stating that
he (Mr. Maudint) was an enemy of the King.
lie asked, in what way ? The man then
thrust the royal arms of their uniform at his face,
and used the most abusive language, which ended by
placing handcuffs ou Mr. 31audint and marching
him off to prison. Here he was insulted and struck,
the irons still round his wrists. Two days after he
' was released, having been informed that " there was
no ground for his detention." Mr. Nlaudint has
applied to his minister at Naples, and no doubt he
will obtain redress.

organisation of the Roman army, that the papal

dragoon had been arrested for having Mazzinian
proclamations in his possession, he was accused by
I au officer aimed Evangeliati, brother of the chan-
cellor who .was assasinated in June. One of the
head abirri had been arrested for mel-practices.
