NAPLES.
(nose ova ors cam

NArL!s, J es. If.
Since the date of my last letter the dissatisfaction
of the people has been rapidly on the increase, and
grieved am I to say that England is made to bear
the entire responsibility of the acts so loudly com-
plained of. In high society, especiaily, everyone
says England has now obtained all that she asked
for, let us hope we shall hear nothing more abort
the political prisoners. For the present let MO
leave this ppooint, however, and give a narrative of
the prooeedingo of the prisoners themselves. The
decree which was first passed, and was strictly in
conformity with the law, would have been well
received. It left it to the choice of the prisoners to
go when they pleased out of the kiorem but
die minister who modified, nullified the rre% and
converted what was called an indulgence into an
accumulated punishment. By most, if not by all,
ultimately, the indulgence was rejected, and the res-
sons assigned were, first, that it was illegal. De-
portation, or transportation to another country, is
cot known to the law ; and a commutation of punish-
ment from irons to the next degree of punishomat
would have been to " perpetual exile from the king-
dom," without taking note of the place to which
they might choose to go. To add to this • forced
residence in mother country, is to give an increase of
punishment not knows to the law, and to cheap
a royal bounty into a cruel and a despotic caprice.
"And then, what are we to do in a foreign
country, ignorant of the language and the cus-
toms of the people, with only such trifling
ran as the Father of his people may choose
to leave in our pockets ? We are many of us lite-
rary person,, unused to labour, and broken down in
health, after wearing irons 10 years." It is with
meek sentiments as these that many, if not most,
have refused liberty on the conditions proposed.
Bat refusal and protest are equally.useless ; they will
be compelled to leave, and probably at the end of
this week their respective prisons will be deserted.
Porrio and his companions will be taken off to
Powinli, without paring through Naples, and then
the Fermat:ma, and another steamer which has had
her guns taken out of her, will be in waiting is
take them to Cadiz. There, plea* will be seemed
for them at board some merchant vessels, and as for
as 1 can make out, the United States will be their
ultimate destination. I have reason to believe that
the Neapolitan Government has made appli-
cations to the Minister of the United States
r• sident is Neplei on the subject of tlie
pri-
soners,
and is very difficult to be persuaded
that the Govereasset of a free country ma either ego
feet those who come, or consent to act as NNW let
the Two Sicilia*. All that the ministers[ a
country can de bee, perhaps, been done that is, to
give informaties,amonating to the well-known heft,
that thee, kasemmimion ol'the provincial government
which its weekly to inquire into the state of the
emigrants arriving ki New York, and that thew ore
besides two private moieties which leek apt the
tai rant imprimis's, too, which I kayo se-
oared in mem quarters is that the Neapolitan ffe-
vernmest will take eare that its subject* .hail not
become • charge on the fen& of the United States.
If all this, however, he tree, I do not find that ft
changes in the slightest degree the state of the cue,
that it renders legal what is greedy illegal, or that
it ass convert into a boos what is farad upon 11111111
spinet their wish... Of those confined in Monte-
satehio. Nicole) Niece has had the special permission
to settle is Munich with hi. wife's family.
It is worthy observation, too, that the royal deem,
petting a toethation to their punishment in boss,
wee read is the eth inst., and was signed on the
27th December. The inspector-general of the Bagel
has expressly forbidden that the chains of the
primers should be taken off. With regard to those
confined in the prises of Santa liana Apparent*,
their case is too horrid to be contemplated with any-
thing like tranquillity. I can compare it only to an
imperial deportation of suspected subjects to
Cameo. I have Asa spoken of them. Have told
theirtales as dry have boos arrested. and roan a traii
gedy might be emspileil therefrom. The eater are
glowing in my weirmsry, and now the last scene is
about to be enastsd. Without being interro- '
Fated, tried, or emdmened, these men, after
already a severe punishment, and a long ,
separation from their families, are about
to be transported to a foreign land. Why Became
their residence is considered to be ir compatible with
the security of the family of the Bourbons. How
many thousands have been annually sacrificed to the
same consideration, how many yet remain to be
sacrificed. I cannot give you anything like a hist
impression of the sad and discontented state la which
men's mode are in Naples. It is felt that a fine
opportunity has been thrown away for emailiating
the good will of the people--what might hose fuss
a blessing has been converted into a enues—aad
men's minds are fall of apprehension and diamateut
I was walking through the streets ere day
this week, when there passed by me three or
four of those who had been liberated from irons.
They were going probably to the Prefecture,
but they were et dragging their chains through
the streets, and ona or two appeared I. Mto be
Imo from the weight of the irons. Guarded en en
aide by ',ldler% atey were followed by a SWIM Of
people behind who had fallen in like mourners at as
Irish funeral. "Pavers cern* mans," said several
of the bystanders. " Where are they going ?" in-
quired one. "To have their liberty, replied
then. To them, however, it appeared as ifet=
were a thing little appreciated or no
Judging from their appearance, emaciated and east
down, all that they might ask for would be the pri-
vilege of lying down and dying in peace. Thus sad
spectacles, and complaints, and apprehension occupy
every thought.
As for the government, like the ostrich, whisk
hides its head is the made. and Ibiza' le
elude its pursuers, It publishes nothing, thloking
that it can keep sativegand foreigners in the dirk as
to its proceedings. According to law the President
Otitis Grand Criminal Court should read in publie
the decree of pardon to the coodemasd. Nothing of
this kind has been dons the decree and the minis-
teriali have both been read in private enly,and of the
ministerial' I have sot yet been able to get a copy.
As regards the decree, which I am just about to
translate, it was with the greatest difficulty that I
could obtain permission to send you a condensation of
it, though it has already been published in the
official journal and placarded on the walls. In short,
every measure is adopted to keep either the
Neapolitans, or foreigners, or both, in ignorance of
what transpires in Naples. Without any farther
comment i now send you the decree, which has:
excited and is exciting so much agitation. It rune

Calms, 27th Dec., I&%S.
Bo hostile a decree at such a time Se the •
of the Hereditary Prince has produced in Naples the
very worst impression. It was signed full 17 days
before it woe affixed to the walls, so that it cannot
be said to have originated in any wan of im-
mediate necessity. In fact no overt act had
been committed, and Naples was quiet u a
lamb. I can only explain the publication of so
offensiie a document on the following suppositions :
that the government, calculating on the bad con-
sequences of its cruel and delusive boon of liberty to
the political prisoners, and on the wholesale depor-
tations of men who have been as yet untried, wished
to anticipate any movement.
