(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENTNet

Reports that the long expected insurrection in
Naples has at last commenced, have again been cur-
rent to day, but I am creditably informed that the
government has received no confirmation of them,
and that there is therefore good reason to believe
them unfounded. Nor has the government re-
ceived any confirmation of another rumour which
has been current, that the King of Naples contem-
plates abdication in favour of his son, and of
allowing the latter to establish a constitu-
tion—nothing of the kind is considered
at all likely. Touching Italian affairs, I
may mention that it is well known in high
political circles here that Austria, in the expectation
that they will sopn become so complicated as to
call for the intervention of the sword, is gradually,
though silently, increasing the effective of her
army, by recalling soldiers on furlough, &c. Some
of the German papers mention the fact of the
increase of the army, but erroneously ascribe it to
the war of difficulties arising with Russia with
respect to the execution of the treaty of peace.

-Cam informed that the Madrid letters, mentioned
yesterday, were in error in supposing that Marshal
Canrobert •is to replace M. de Turgot as French
Ambassador in that capital. The latter, after
taking the waters of Dar, is to return to his post.
The Russian journal of Brussels, the Nord,
gives a flaming account of the reception of Count
de Moray, the French Ambassador. Apartments
were prepared for him in the Imperial palace
of Peterhoff—he was very shortly after his
arrival received with marked kindness by the
Emperor and Empress—he was invited to a ball
at the palace on the next evening, where he
danced with the Empress and the Grand Duchess
Constantine—he was entertained at a grand official
dinner, &c. &c.

The Indus has arrived at Marseilles to-day with
Constantinople news to the 11th. It was reported
that Russia had demanded 16,000/. sterling from
France for the damage done to the Palace
of the Russian embassy, by its transformation into
a Russian hospital; but here (in Paris) this is not
credited. Russia had notified the accession of the
Czar, not to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, as in
duty bound, but to the Grand Vizier. This
piece of information had created much sensa-
tion. The fact of Russia having notified that
she was ready to give up Kars is con-
firmed. The English squadron was to
remain in the Black Sea to September. Deplor-
able accounts had arrived from Persia—there
was a murrain in the cattle, and a malady in the
vines.

The French Emperor, Empress, and Imperial
Prince leave Paris this evening for Biarritz.
Th 9 Bourse has been bad to day, owing to the
general stagnation in business, and the uneasi•
ness felt about Italy, &c.

INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY EVENING

The Indus, Captain Broom, has arrived, bringing
the India and China Mails, with one hundred and
fifty passengers. Among these are the Queen of
Oude and suite, with the exception of one of its
members who died at Gibraltar. Her dates are—
Alexandria, August 6 ; Malta, August 10 ; and
Gibraltar, August 16.

ONE DAY'S LATER NEWS

ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF BALTIMORE

The Philadelphia Steamship Company's steamer
City of Baltimore, Captain Leitch, arrived in the
Mersey yesterday afternoon, from Philadelphia,
after an excellent passage of twelve days nineteen
hours, bringing adviees from New York one day,
and from Philadelphia two days, later than those
received by the Persia. She has also brought 296
paaßengers

We learn from Washington, under date of the
6th. that on that day the President communieate4
to the senate a reply to the resolution eal it

information relative to the recent affairs in Sari
Francisco, together with the correspondence upon
the subject. A letter from the Governor of Cali-
fornia asks the President for 3,000 stand of muskets
or rifles, with fifty rounds of ammunition, two
mortars, 300 shells, and two guns of large calibre,
with their animnnition and appliances, promisi4
that they shall be paid for or returned. He like,' ise
asks the use of the military and naval forces of the
United States to suppress the insurrection. The
President, conceiving there was insuperable ob-
stacles to the action demanded, referred the
subject to the Attorney-General, of whose
decision he approves. Mr. Cushing, in his
opinion, argues that there is no evidence in the
government statements, or other authentic infor-
mation, that in what has occurred at San Francisco
there was committed, or threatened any act of
resistance or obstruction to the Constitution, laws,
or official authority of the United States. The
President is only to be moved to action by the
Legislature of the State in which the insurrection
exists, or by the Executive, only when such Legis-
lature cannot be convened, and when imminent
or extreme public disaster can he averted only by
such interposition of the Federal Government.
He says the whole constitutional power of Cali-
fornia has not been exerted, and it does not appear
that the Governor took any steps to convene the
Legislature, although that remedy might have
been adopted, and had its effectual application to
the existing evils long before any such remedy
could be demanded from the President.

The New York Stock Market, on the 6th, was
very animated, but prices were scarcely so strong
as on the preceding day. Money continued easy,
but in active demand.
