THE REVOLUTION AT NAPLES.

A letter from Naples, of the 2nd, in the Debate,
says :
Francis 11. celled on M. Romano to furnish him with a
memorial on the state of the couni.ry. The minister pre-
sented his Majesty with • document, in which, after point-
ing out the progress of the insurrection, the state of public
feeling, and the progressive defection of the army' he said
in respectful terms that the best policy his Majesty could
adopt would be to quit the kingdom. Francis 11. read the
memorandum, and was much shaken by it, but he never-
theleas wished to take the advice of his generals, an account
of whose opinions I have already sent you. As to the army
it is gradually falling to pieces. Fever hod commenced at the
camp of Salerno. General Bosco is himself ill, and come
to the capital yesterday to consult his physician, and to in-
form the King that the soldier, bad now got into the way of
deserting by whole companies. The comp of Salerno is,
therefore about to be broken up. All the province, with
the exception of the chief town, is in fu insurrection.
Yrom Cape Spartivento to Eboli there scarcely remains one
soldier faithful to the King. General Calderelli, who had
retired from Cosenza to the camp of Hadn't°, has capitu-
lated. He had under his orders a regiment of lancers,
another of the line, and • battery of artillery: One part of
this force disbanded themselves, another joined the in-
surgents, and the remainder have promised not to fight
againet Garibaldi. I have myself seen the capitulation alluded
to. General Viale, on the approach of the Italians at Monte-
leone, pretended to be ill. He shut himself up in his
room, went to bed, and left the soldiers to get out of the
scrape as beat they could. Provisional governments in the
province* have become epidemic, as every town now has
one, and it is therefore useless to enumerate them all.
A communication from Vienna, in the Cologne
Gccette says :
The King of Naples has been recommended, from this
place, not to quit hui kingdom, and even to remain iu his
capital so long as he could do so without personal dancer.
No one here, any more than elsewhere, thinks that his
dynasty can be saved. The Empress went yesterday to
Baden, near this city, to gee the apartments which had been
prepared for the King and Queen of Naples.

It has frequently been stated (observes Galignani)
that many of the common people in France fancy that the
law does not allow assistance to be given to persons in
danger of death from banging or drowning, except in pre-
pence of a commissary of police or other authority ; and the
consequence is that deaths which might be prevented
occur. The Rouen journals state that, in the neighbour-
hood of that city, two persons in danger of drowning
were recently left to perish from that foolish belief.
They say also that, three days back, a woman was seen by
two peasants Boating in a pond at Grumesnil, and that,
instead of getting her out, they hurried for the mayor, a
distance of nearly two miles. That functionary rated them
soundly for their stupidity, and bad the woman got out.
She, it appeared, must have been dead more than an hour
before she was seen by the peasants, hut if she had been
dive, they would not have aided her. She fell into the
pond accidentally.
Florence has just decreed a statue to Dante. It
is to be executed by Enrico Patti, of itavenea, and must be
completed before thesod of 1865.
M. Philoxene Boyer is preparing for the press
a French translation of Mr. Carlyle's " History of the
French Revolution."

paper, Le Nerd, informs no that, two or three dace ago, at.
the railvray station of Charlet-oi, three waggons were passed
down the line laden with rifles, addressed to h Holiness
the Pope. They came from Lille, and were thise seat on
