THE ENGLISH PRISONERS AT NAPLES.

COMMENCEMENT OF THE TRIAL.

By letters from Salerno, dated the 30th ult.,
we learn that the great political cause, com-
monly called the Sapri cause, commenced there
the previous day. As many as 286 persons
amongst whom were the two Englishmen, Park
and Watts, were placed on their trial, accused
of a conspiracy ag►inst the State. The court con-
sisted of the President, the Procurator-General,
and ten judges. Our letters speak highly of
the impartial tone which distinguished the Presi-
dent's address, and as unfavourably of the act of
accusation from the Procurator-General, which
succeeded. The remainder of the proceedings of
the first day presented little interest. Park and
Watts were apparently both strong and hopeful.

our instructions and our orders.

The bill relative to measures of public safety has,
u you have been led to expect, been so much toned
down that the public feels something like a sensa-
tion of relief on reading it. It is certain that very
many of the clauses originally proposed by M. Bil-
lault have been either eliminated or en-
tirely remodelled by the Council of State.
The bill was, it is whispered, only carried
after all in that council by a majority of 27 against
24. The notoriety of this difference of opinion in
the Council of State will give heart of grace to the
Corps Legislatif. The discussion of the measure in
the Corps Legialatif comes on to-morrow.

The Post states that as many as six plots against
the life of the Emperor Napoleon have been frostreted—four
of them in eoaaequenc• of Information furnished by the
British government. "In one inganes a British minister
despatched a relative of his own post-hate to Prance with
the admonitory intelligence. On another ocouion, a brother
of Pianori having started for Fromm with the view of aveng-
ing the execution of the aseambi, by the completion of his
atrocious schema, his movements were anticipated and his
objects defeated by timely information conveyed to the
French authorities by the government of this country." The
rose refers to the uninterrupted publication from day to day
in the columns of the Yonitessr of the Men-
last addresses of certain regiments in the French
