NAPLES.

The following is from a letter in the Corriere
Mercantile of Genoa, dated Naples, March 26 :
" The reaction goes on, and new tortures continue
to be inflicted, bet the public spirit bends like steel
under the pressure, and recovery itself with the same
elasticity. The King was passing the other day
along the road from San Lucio to Caserta, when a
priest who stood in the way offered to salute him,
and for that purpoee hastily took off his cloak. The
King, who fancied he saw another Agesilas Milano
in clerical cassock, was frightened by the quick ges-
ture. The attendant Janie's:hi instantly rushed
upon the priest, and beat him till theyleft him on the
ground half dead; he had nothing in his pocket but
a isuff-box, a handkerchief, and six sous. The ordi-
nary diet of persons confined in the prisons is merely
breed and water. They are pulled sometimes by
telout their nails ; other instances they are
forliffb y held in a bent_pomition, or boiling oil is
applied to their flesh. These tortures are executed
nader the superintendence of Filippo d'Antoni, but
their inventor is the famous De gpagaolis. D'Antoni
commenced the profession of executioner at Milan,
and has been promoted by the King of Naples to the
office of first-clam inspector for his great efficiency
and skilL He will probably attain yet higher
rank."

To this document is annexed a long list of cus-
toms tariff, with the import and export duties to be
paid on each. France is in this respect as in every
other placed on the footing of the most favoured
nations. The King of Siam, u well as his brother,
who shares with -him the supreme power, is ani-
mated with the best intentions.
