THE TWO SICILIES.

(run ova OW2f COZZIWPONDINT.)
NAPLES, Aran 9.
I must still open my letter with a report of the
health of his Majesty, a 'abject of the gravest im-
portance for the country at this critical moment. It
alternates from better to worse and from worse to
better daily, that is to say, ae regards the symptoms;
but the disease p always, and cannot be
subdued. " The medial men act as mere specta-
tors, and sometimes with milk, and sometimes with
strong broth, support a life which is evidently draw-
ing to a close." Such is the information which I re-
ceive from more than one source, and the tone
adopted by the courtiers encourages my belief in its
truth. There has been for a long time a report of
divisions existing in the royal family, and if such
divisions related to mere domestic matters, the public
world have nothing to do with them, and in all de-
licacy the veil should not be lifted; but as political
causes are assigned as the reason, it is right that I
should allude to them, without guaranteeing their
correctness.
The infirmities of the King had increased so
rapidly, that some of the most honest advisers of the
court are said to have recommended that the truth
should be made known, and that the government of
the country should be confided to the hereditary
Prince as vicarieneral. To this measure, if my in-
formation be correct, the King. himself would be
opposed, as he is said to be more jealous of any inter-
ference with hie power than ever, and even in the
smallest affairs will not allow the Prince to have a
voice, himself replying by signs when his sufferings
do not permit him to speak. Nor is the King the
only royal personage who strongly opposes such an
act as that to which I allude ; and besides that other
person there are the Princes, who takes decided pert
with the Queen, with the exception of the Count of
Syracuse, who has always affected liberalism, and has
spread abroad a report, it is added, of the probability
of an arrangement, and of the concession of liberties.
The determination to refer the Italian question to
a Caguas has moved the Neapolitans to:desperation.
They have no faith in diplomacy--and no one an
wonder at it. They feel, too, as all Italy feels, that
the introduction of internal reforms, or even the
insisting upon them, whilst Austria virtually re-
tains the protectorate of the greater part of the
Peninsula, is the same thing as to condemn Italy
to remain precisely as she is. Austria will find, as
she has always found, means of subverting popular
institutions in Italy.
Naples is, however, waking up. I have heard
already of the circulation ofaddremes demanding a con-
stitution. Even the royal princes do not oouoesl their
impression that the country can no longer be go-
versed as it has been ; and should the King continue
as he is, I am disposed to think that the constitu-
tional party will raise its head.
