A diplomatic note from the bflOster for Foreign
Affairs informs the great powers that in cane ves-
sels nailing under Sardinian colours should at-
tempt to disembark Garibaldians, they will be
fired upon. Orders have been dispatched to Baron
Winspesre to leave Turin at a certain date should
his mission have had no result up to that time.
Three Neapolitan journals hostile to the
government have been suppressed.
A modification of the ministry and an adjourn-
ment of the elections are expected.

TRIES E, TUVIDAT.

When Commander Walleradorif, with a flotilla,
was sent in May last to cruise in the Neapolitan
waters, Count Szecheny, the Austrian minister at
Naples, was instructed to inform King Francis 11.
that the Austrian flotilla was principally destined
to be held at the disposal of the young monarch and
his family, in the event of the revolution compelling
them to quit their own country.
It is no longer doubted that if Garibaldi suc-
ceeds in becoming master of Naples, the King and
his consort would retire on board the imperial
flotilla, and afterwards take refuge at Vienna.
Prince Petrulla, the Neapolitan minister at
Vienna, who is now at Genoa, has demanded and
obtained leave of absence for one year.

NA PLEB, Atiaorr 7.

The most startling news of the day is that his
Royal Highness the Prince of Syracuse has given
in his adhesion to the idea of the annexation of
this country to Piedmont. His intention was com-
municated to Victor Emmanuel a few days since,
and his Majesty's answer, which elicited another
and an immediate reply, arrived last Sunday. The
Count of Syrac-use, therefore, by his owu choice,
has ceased to be a Neapolitan to become a subject
of Victor Emmanuel and an Italian prince. By
order of the Piedmontese government the Sardinian
"Admiral" has been placed at the disposal of the
Count and Countess, the latter of whom is a mem-
ber of the Piedmontese loyal family. Two other
vessels of some power are expected immediately.
The Count of Aquila will, in all probability,
withdraw to England, and thence to the Brazils,
when the crisis is over ; and I am informed that
much of the property of his Majesty has been em-
barked on board the Spanish vessels of war in the
harbour, and that he will retire to Spain, but not
until after an attempt to defend himself. You will
perceive that I write—and events compel me to do
110-48 if the last scene of the last act was at hand.
Gan'haldi, in his answer to Victor Emmanuel, ex-
presses his conviction that the letter was
not written by his Majesty, but by Count
Cavour, and that he should therefore an-
ticipate his landing on the continent by
some days. From a ministerial source, too, I learn
that the Dictator declares that he is too far com-
promised to draw back, and the great event is
expected daily, almost hourly. Yesterday about
fifty of the Calabrese who were in Naples left by
the Generoso for their province, and will land at
Pizzo and at Paolo, thence pushing forward to
their several residences, in order to be ready for
whatever may take place. They leave, of course,
with full instructions and deeply imbued with
annexation ideas. Whatever may be the remote
settlement of affairs, I look t upon it that . the
Bourbons are doomed, and with them, for a:time
at least, the independence of the kingdom of
Naples.

General Pianele is making every effort possible
to organise a defensive force, but all to no purpose.
I think that the popular hatred and distrust of the
Bourbons are facts too strong to be resisted, and
should Garibaldi land, the nation will be with him,
and the soldiers Idu not expect will fight. I can-
not describe the enthusiasm which the name of the
Dictator awakens here in Naples. His portraits
are at every street corner ; hymns in his honour
in every shop window; busts, pocket handkerchiefs,
biographies, all declare the national sen-
timent, so much so that he eclipses Victor
Emmanuel as much as the Madonna does the
Creator of all things. In the capital we have a
garrison of 12,000 men. In the Calabrias, I am
informed there are from 90,000 to 40,000 men in
arms ; and from letters received yesterday from
the camp of Garibaldi, a fierce struggle is expected
in the provinoes,where there is an active reactionary
party, though small in proportion to those who
are praying for the arrival of the Dictator ase,,the
only mode of driving away the reigning family,
and of establishing order and securing repose.
Vowels are continually leaving with provisions and
ammunition for the troops.
