The telegraphic news, that war wee imminent,
awakined here the realest enthomisam ; for there
is no nee in denying it, the Italians have no faith en
diplomacy or Conran= and see their only hopes of
salvatios in a united effort to drive the Austrians
out of their esestry. Terrib'c truths are now
waking op England from her selfish slumber. The ,
effect of the takers= communicating this ultimatum
from Austria was =my strong. The court wee net
less agitated then the people acd the bourse ; and it
made so crest a sensation that on Easter Monday,
which is always observed here u a great fete day, •
Councii of State was held at Caserta. What wee
the subject matter of discussion I cannot say, bet
judging from the pest, one would be little deposed
to believe that affairs of importance were spoken of
or. at least, decided. The King has hitherto besa
his own Foreign Minister.
It is almost unless to repeat that the adminietts-
ton of the country is in a state of otter abandon-
meat. Ministers are perfectly sensible of their short
tenon of office. The police authorities oscillate be-
tween fear and threats: at one moment dreading the
accumulated popular vengeance for sufferinge in-
flicted during many years, and at another helmets;
that the old system of threats and brutality is soll.
cis= to ward off all danger. In this alarming peg-
Lion, who is to bo the man who will mediate between
the =venire and the people, if mediation he eves
thought of—who, in short, is tabs the saviour of the
country ? General Filangieri, whose name ha. for
some time been before the public, has retired appa-
rently from the field, and has taken a villa at Sor-
rento. Ile had been everywhere spoken of as the
president of a now ministry; but one hears nothing
aeon of these arrangements now.
At Soya, on the Papal frontier, I hear that there
has been a disturbance in consequence of may of
the population issuing cos leavirg for Pierhaest. I
have so doubt but that the feeiling will hoseme go-
sent and dangerous anises yielded to, or at all
events not so rigorously misted.
On Sunday last some Netlike madames made
their appearance in Naples, to the great astonish-
ment of the natives They said that they had ac-
companied the Pope to Beareente, an invention to
conceal the real motive of their visit, which is still a
" visit° resale."
Yoa will be as utonialed as myself to hoar that
up to the present moment no arrangements have
keen made for the exilsof those political pennon
who bad been confined in irons, and had obtained
this commutation as a " grecs ;" they linger we
from day to day in painful uncertainty as to their
fem. Nino is always in the prima of the Prellse-
tire, though " pardoned" by the K=ill
ordered to be liberated by the Grand
Court. Piroati is in Visits, end in somewhat better
health. Of di Beep and dells Franc= lon tin
you no intelligence. As to those who bay* been
pining in prison for months and years without trial,
at the disposal of the police, three is no novelty ;
perhaps it is intended even to add to their inuaber.
