February, to make a voyage in the Mediterranean,
under the command of the Infante Dom Luis. It
appears also that the brig of war Serra do Pilar will
accompany the Prime.
Preparations are being made at the Pekoe of

TURIN, Jaw. 10.
Yesterday Rattazzi announced to the Chamber his
retirement from the Ministry. Count Cavour de-
clared that he had himself assumed ad interim the
portfolio of Internal Affairs, and that the Minister
Lanza had assumed (also temporarily) that of
Finance. Commendatore Rattazzi and Count Cavour

agreed in saying that no political disagreement had
induced the former to leave the Cabinet. The fact
is, that the late elections having resulted differently
from what most persons expected, the newspapers
have been incessantly Raman; the Minister of the
Interior of a deficiency in ability and foresight. In
addition to this came also the disturbance at Genoa,
which, in the opinion of many, might have been
altogether prevented. Rattassi has, therefore, con-
sidered that, by quitting the cabinet, he might
strengthen the policy of Count Cavour, which is still
that of the majority of the Chamber.
To-day at length the Chamber has finally con-
stituted itself; having completed the verification of
its mandates and appointed its own officers. The
ex-President Cadorna, the liberal candidate, has been
re-elected by 88 votes ; the clerical candidate,
Arnulfi, obtained 44.
To-morrow the deputies will resolve themselves
into committees, to discuss the mode of conducting
the inquiry which it is the will of the Chamber to
carry out respecting certain elections. The prin-
ciple which will prevail with the committee is cer-
tainly that of a parliamentary investigation, and as
this is a new thing to us, we shall naturally be led
to imitate the usages of your House of Commons. I
believe, however, that a general inquiry into the
clerical intrigue; will be demanded and obtained.
At Genoa there is a rumour current, which appears
to have some foundation, of an attempted insurreo-
tion at Ancona, where there is an Austrian garrison.
The particulars are not given, and it should be ob-
served that the Sardinian consul at that town has
not up to this time sent any information of it to our
own government. A.

THE KINGDOM OF NAPLES.

(mom ora OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

NAPLES, JAN. 12.

This is the anniversary of the King's birthday.
There is no " baciamano ;" his Majesty is shut up
in Gaeta, and the surprise and ntent are ge-
neral. Every precaution is taken to prevent people
from visiting the royal fortress, for no passports are
given for it. There is a report that the French go.
verument, within the last few days, has advised the
Neapolitan government of the departurefrom France
of certain individuals who had designs on the life of
the King. The report is said to have been verified,
though on a person asking the Minister of Police if
there were any truth in it, an answer was given in
the negative. No other answer could of course be
, even if the report were true.
exroeutcdwill expect some further details of the earth-
quake. The intelligence which daily arrives from
the scenes of suffenng continues to be of the same
character, and confirms all that I have previously
told you. A judge, who is said to have arrived from
Potence, immediately made his report to Pimati,
Minister of Grace and Justice. The minister
repeated it to the Council of State, and the judge
was introduced. Afterwards he was presented to
hie Majesty, and from him received orders to return
to his dutination.

The Intendente of BainLicata is in disgrace with
the government for having read his reports to many
of the complainants in the neighbourhood. This he
did in order to tranquillise the minds of the people,
and show them that he was rasing every exertion for
them.

The Intendente of Salerno made application to the
central government for 60,000 ducat., which by the
budget are allotted to that province annually for
expenditure in public works. The answer was that
there were no funds. The Intendente has therefore
borrowed 20,000 ducats of • merchant called Peri*
for immediate use, to be paid as the funds came.
I understand that no steamer his left Naples with
supplies, as the Official Jouraal asserted, and the
number of tents sent down, instead of 1,600, has
been 600. The exertions made in 1783 are in strong
contrast with those made at present. Still, as time
passes, the position of the people becomes better;
however slowly, the supplies arrive. It is like pan-
dering to a morbid taste to tell you of all the
ing incidents which are reported to have happened
in the Basilicata ; still they belong to the history of
one of the most tragic events of the century, and
ought therefore to be made known. At Viaggiano
a poor woman had lost her husband and two chil-
dren ; two children, however, were saved, but these
died of hunger, and the desolate wife and mother
hanged herself. People were suffering from malaria
and fever, and want had sent forth many to plunder.
Some persons who have just returned from the pro-
vinces give me the following details. Amongst
other planes they had visited Auletta, Perticoss,
Polls, Brienza, Atone, Sala, Marsiconuovo, Padula„
Vieta, Tito, Potenza, and Vignola. The desolation
throughout these places was indescribable. Such
few houses as were standing were in a cracked or
falling state, and yet the people cling to them from
want of other habitations. Up to last Friday, when
they left, they felt live or six shocks a claymore or less
stropg, and with every shock down came some half-
ruined buildings. One night they had marked out a
tower which they intended to examine the next
morning—the next morning it was gone. They
represent the people as careless and indifferent—se
grubbing amongst the ruins for grain or fruit, or
any other lost article, and many of them for their
friends. There were hundreds still unburied. They
I saw some pigs disinterred alive after 21 days' burial.
A child of eight years of age had been dug out alive
after 11 days entombment, and was still living ; bat
an infant only a few months old, who had been
taken out alive, after a burial of eight days, had died
in consequence of taking too much of its mother's
milk. Similar cases might be multiplied. Efforts,
though slow and inadequate, were being made to
relieve the wants of the poor people, and in a few
days a series of boarded towns would spring up, it
was hoped ; but it is a disgrace to this government
to add, that between many of these places, within a
hundred miles of the capital, no roads exist for
carriages. Potenza, it was said, would be rebuilt
on another spot, for in this town, inhabited on the
morning of the 18th December by from 16,000 to
20,000 souls, the only effort made was to destroy
what was standing.
After several meetings, much discussion, and
more unpleasantness, the English have obtained per-
mission to distribute the funds which they have col-
lected for the relief of the sufferers by the earthquake.
The Minister of the Interior has given a deputation
of two their passports, and they will leave for the
afflicted districts to-morrow morning. It may rea-
dily be imagined that the government would feel s.
little soreness at the distrust of the Neapolitan mode
of administration which is °implied in our wish to
distribute our own funds ; but at the same time it is
only just to say that had Sig. Commendatore Bien-
ehini, the Minister of the Interior, the direct
distribution of the funds, as a body we should have
felt confidence in his judgment and honour. They
are the numerous nee y subaltern, who live by
leeri, of whom we are afraid in this country.
