A SPECLAL EDITION of the "REPRESS,"
esetaining the results et the ilay's Races, is pub-
lished every evening during tke Sporting Saloon, at
sit o'clock.

IT is Patti two ran since diplomatic relations
with the Court of Naples were responded by oar
Governmeet The erase assigaed for that suspension I
can hardly be forgotten. In conoert with our ally,
the EXPOILOR of the French, our rulers declared
thessebres, not merely emindalised at the unde-
viating ammo! Booleon oppresaion pursed in the
kingdom of the Two Siciliee, but apprehensive lest
it should provoke such an explosion of popular
wrath es would is all probability prove contagious
throughout the Italian Peninsula, and conse-
quently dangerous to the tranquillity of
Europe. It was upon this ground, unequivo-
cally stated at the time by the English
and French Ministers for Foreign Aflkino,
that formal remonstrances were addressed by them,

in the name of their respective Sovereigns, to M.
CARAYEA, in the summer of 1866, immediately after
the dispersion of the Conferences at Paris; and it
was in reference specifically to this allegation, that
the Minister of King FERDINAND indicted his con-
tumacious reply to Count WALEWIIII and his con-
tumaciens rejoinder to Lord CLARENDON. In the
former he asserted the full integrity and independ-
ence of absolutism ; its exclusive and infallible
capacity for estimating aright the wants and
interests of its subjects ; and the impro-
priety, if not the imposeibilitr, of its making
concessions or granting reforms at the public
bidding of any foreign power. In the latter, defiance
was intermingled with defamation; the historic
claim of England to admonish was met with
reviling, and the advice tendered through Lord
CLARENDON was rejected with disdain. Constitu-
tionalism in England did not come into the Court
of Nations, according to Signor CAILATTA, with clean
hands. It bad wrought sectarian injustice in Ire-
land, social degradation in England,rapine and spo-
liation in India, and multiplied wrongs everywhere.
Its sincerity in offering counsel to a truly paternal
Government like that of Naples was Laughed to
scorn, and motives the meat unworthy were ascribed
to it for interference so uncalled for.

Oa the receipt of these offensive missives,
instroctions were at once forwarded to the mem-
bers of the French and English embassies
to haul down their flags, and forthwith to
retire from the doomed city of King FERDI.
NAND, shaking the diplomatic dust from off
their feet eat testimony against him. Whereupon
a certain amount of vague curiosity was excited
amongst the credulous as to what would happen
next. Rumours for a season abounded of an allied
fleet appearing off the coast of Southern Italy. Con-
firmations from time to time were circulated of the
additional rigour of surveillance on the part of the
Neapolitan police ; and strange tales were recited
of the additional precautions taken by the self-
imprisoned despot for his personal safety at
Gaeta. But by degrees public expectation grew
tired of looking for results. As the wicked
King and his wily Minister had calculated,
nothing came of the interruption of diplomatic
intarcouree, save the triumph of their audacity.
They had been smeared by the Cabinet of Vienna
that there was no real danger from the allied m-
oues of the Western Powers ; that whenever
the hour for concerted action should appear to have
come, Austria would be able to set them at logger-
heads, and that she would certainly not fail to para-
lyse their joint or separate action. Nor was this
an idle boast. French intervention in Southern
Italy would be inevitably regarded as tending to the
restoration of Muratism there, while English inter-
ference could only tend to the revival of Constitu-
tioaalism is some form more or less dangerous to the
general system of ecclesiastical and political mis-
rule. Bat these two things have little or nothing
in common, and could not consentaseoasly be brought

about. At a sinister suggestion from Vienna Lard
CLAIENDOS is said to have required an sesames
from the French Government, that in the event of
King BOKBA'S deposition by a popular movement
consequent upon a naval demonstration by the
Allies, no isseouregement woad he given to t►e pm-
tangiest' of any member of the BUOIPIMPAIITE homily.
M. Wst.zwett is sail to have replied that the gsa•
rusts. sought for should not be wanting, provided
on their part the English Government would under-
take not to allow the establishment of popular in-
siltation, in the Two Sicilia': and such a pledge,
however willing he might individually be, Lord
CLLIIIINDOX knew that his collesgues in the
Cabinet would never venture to allow him
to give.

Negotiation flagged ; the Jesuit Cabinet of
Vienna chuckled; and his Neapolitan Majesty
felt that be mold afford to requite the services of
his Austrian protectors by formally repudiating any
offensive purpose in the memorable despatch of M.
CASABA. So oompletely, in troth, did his soafideass
in himself and his system revive, that even Cement
Boot end hie associates began to have misgivings
lest the oord should snap; and throughout Europe
expression was mos more given to the feudist that
after all, perhaps, the Bot•uJtw wield be fennel in-
corrigible. It was to this sentiment, doubtlem that
Loots NAPOLIOX, when at Stuttgeed, addremsd the
sigsifloant observation, that however satisfied be
might be with things dynastic es they are in
Europe, he could not see, if new throaue were to be
built, why his family should not be consi-
dered as eligible as any other. Nobody cared to
ask the interpretation of the oracle; but its preg-
nant syllables were coafideatially canned o►er whit-
ener the true friends of Abeelythem, or the Mee
friends of Constitutionalism, put their heads together ;
and thenceforward no more was heard of joint sr

separate projects for redeeming the pompons pro-
