NAPLES.

TURIN, Nov. 16.
An order of the day of the King declares that
the Garibaldian army has well deserved the grati-
tude of the country, and determines its reorganise,
tion.

A letter of the Ling has been published granting
900,000 francs for popular education in the city of
Naples.

NAPLES, Nov. 13 (vu Maaamusa)
H. Farini has energetically reprimanded the
leaders of the Lazzaroni.

Crowds of the latter assembled yesterday, and
shouted " Long live Garibaldi!" " The Dictatorship
for over I" " Down with Farini !" They were dis-
persed by the regular troops.
The King has prohibited the demolition of the
forts of St. Elmo. They are to be repaired and
armed.

The troops of the line replace the National
Guard in the different posts in the city.
The Neapolitan Ministry has no portfolios for
war, marine, and foreign affairs. These departments
are preserved for the Central Government.

FRANCE AND ITALY.

The Moniteur de la Nate has the following :

" Some journals have announced that Vice_
Admiral Barbier de Tinan had received new
instructions, ordering him no longer to op-
pose an attack on Gaeta by sea. We
think those journals are wrongly informed, and
that, consequently, it is inexact that Admiral Per-
sano has commenced the bombardment of that
town ; doubtless they meant Mola di Gaeta.
" We are authorised to believe that the instruo-
tions of Admiral de Tinan have not been modified
in any respect, and that the mission of that general
officer is still the same—to prevent, while main-
taining the most strict neutrality, any act of
hostility by sea against Gaeta."

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE
BISHOPS.
PARIS, fitsruaosr.
M. Billsult, Minister of the Interior, ha. ad-
ilreeeal the following circular to the Prefect. :

Paris, Nov. 10.

Monsieur la Prefst—The general law which prescribes for
printers the double formality of the declaration and de-
positing a copy of all publications, ►nd in certain cases that
of the stamp, has received an exceptional repeal in favour
of pastoral letter; in a spirit of generous confidence in the
religious authority the publication of its acts emanating
from this authority has been, in fact, by the tolerance of
the administration, freed from the surveillance implied by
the deposit, and from the expense attached to the stamps
But for some time many writings have been published
under the title of inassciernelds, or of " Pastoral Let-
ters," treating of questions most foreign to spiritual
interests—political pamphlets, in fact, in which the (manta
now being accomplished in Europe are considered, in
which the acts of the government are disowned, and
sometimes attacked, with great vigour, thus usurping the
exclusive immunities granted to the special act of the epis-
copal jurisdiction.
This abusive confusion has provoked the attention of the
government. To remedy this, the simplest and easiest
measure would incontestably have been to withdraw the
privilege (rented, and, without distinction, to submit all
its affairs to the common law. Sincerely desirous of not
obstructing in any way the action of the ecclesiastical au-
thority in its legitimate sphere, the government has not
considered it necessary at present to resort to that radical
measure.

Those tisandements and pastoral letters which do not de-
part from the spiritual domain, and which are printed pla-
cards, in order to be posted or read in the churches,
will therefore continuo free of the stamps and the deposit.
But those writings, whatever may be their title, which,
taking the form of a pamphlet in order to emerge from the
sanctuary, too often mix themselves up with temporal
politics, cannot profit by u dispensation which was not
established for them. Such writings, although enj.ling
entire liberty of publication, will be subject to the conditions
of the common law.

You will point out, Monsieur le Prefet, this distinction
to the printers in your department ; it is on them that am
imposed the obligations of the deposit and the stamp. It
is they who will be prosecuted if they do not submit to the
same.

In preserving a goueroua exemption to publications of a
spiritual order, but iu opposing as much aa possible the
oonfoundiug of munclements with pamphlets, religion with
politics, and the decisions to which the catholic owes obe-
dience with opinions which the citizen may contradict, the
government is conscious of maintaining everything io Its
plsoe without prejudicing either the rights or the liberty
of anybody.
ReeeiVe, Monsieur le Profit, the assurance of my very
distinguished consideration.
The Minister Secretary of State to the Department
of the Interior,
(Signed) Btuautr.
