MURATISM IN NAPLES.

TheMoniteerof to-day publishes a letterfrom Prince
Murat, protesting against the interpretation given
by that journal to his former letter. The prince
says :—" I have never had the pretension to engage
in anticipation the policy of the Emperor, nor the
alliance of France. But I wished to say that
should universal suffrage, free from all foreign in-
fluence, pronounce itself in my favour, the wishes
of the population would doubtless be no less re-
spected at Naples than they have been in the other
parts of Italy."
