THE ENGLISH CONSUL AT BELGRADE.

A letter from Belgrade of the 30th ult., in the
Leipcie Gasette, says:—" Mr. Foublanque had re-
covered from his indisposition, and had even taken
carriage exert* without the consular flag having
been re-hoisted or the Berrien guard removed.
Yesterday, to the surprise of the public, twenty-one
guns were fired from the fortress. The consular
flag was then displayed as usual, and the Berrien
troops withdrawn from the consulate. At the same
time, the Turkish governor, in grand uniform, pro-
ceeded with a detachment of troops, headed by their
band, to the consulate on a visit to Mr. Fonbianque.
It was concluded from these circumstances that the
latter had received the satisfsction demanded by
his government. Later in the day, the Turkish and
Berrien troops drew up in parade to receive Sir
Henry Buleree, who arrived at six in the evening,
and was received with musk ceremony."

NAPLES, JOLT 3.

Within the last few days a journeyman printer
has been released from prison atter a confinement of
many months, accompanied with much suffixing.
The whole history of the case is so striking and so
illustrative of the arbitrary proceedings of the police
that I give iL In one of my letters last year I
spoke of the arrest of a printer on &charge of having
distributed and posted the proclamations and Wee
decrees which at the time made so great a maw
lion. A distinguished personage, it is said, com-
plained of the want of vigilance on the part of the
police in permitting such facts ; and that respectable
body, not knowing how to save themselves
in any other manner, had recourse as usual
to stratarickOne of their agents proposed
to a woo . printer to throw off a procla-
mation, for w be would be well paid. This man,
who was at the time without work,aceepted theme-
' missioo, and began to work in his own house. On
the following evening he brought the proofs of the
. composition of the proclamation to the police agent,
sad received 60 ducats, as a first instalment and for
expense of paper. He received orders, too, to
bring on the following evening as many copies se
he could throw off. This was done, and the work
much approved of, but the agent declined to take
them, saying that he was going to a hoses when
he could not safely carry them, but that an the next
evening he would take them aIL No loaner had
the workman left than he was surrounded by the
police ; the proclamations on his person were seized,
as also were all the materials for printing in his
hones. Oa being shut up in the prison of the
Vitoria he was beaten and tortured, it is said, for
fifteen days, fa the presence of the Commissary of
Pollee, De Sprwolia, and, in order to save
himself from- fiirther suffering, accepted the
declaration which had been prepared for him.
In fast, he °mimed to having printed and
proclamations and decrees, and was then Cattier!
treated. The peocis, which had been drawn up by
De Spagnolis, was placed in the hands of the Judge
Inatractor, who, having investigated the whole
affair, drew up his report and presented it to the
minister, and he again pressated it to the King.
The consequence has been that the man Is set at
liberty and entirely pudoned. This result is
creditable to his Majesty, but the whets hisdery
shows what a fearful power it is that exists in this
kingdom, which, in order to support the illusion of
its iseetulness, can condescend to so gross an act as
that which I have just described.
Another victim of political persecution has lately
fallen in the person of Madame Dorio, the wife of
one of the companions of Poerio, now in confinement
in tiro prison of Montosarehio. Worn down by
want, anxiety, and suffering, she at length sunk
under consumption, leaving two children in greet
poverty, and their father in prison. The case strikes
one, as the ear is familiar with the name; but how
many similar cases are there in this kingdom !
