ROMAN STATES.

We extract the following from our correspondent's
letter :

ROLE, MARCII 26.
The time for the departure of Pio Nono from the
Parthenopian shores draws rapidly nigh—uncertain-
ties and improbabilities vanish away hetere the posi-
tive assurances we continually receive of his setting
out on the 4th April ; and, if what I have heard upon
the highest French authority here is to be depended
upon, the time for delay is now over, the commander
of the French fleet in the Bay of Naples having re-
ceived instructions to intimate to his majesty of the
Two Sicilies that summary measures would be
adopted towards his royal navy and palace if he did
not allow the Pope to leave his dominions without
further let or hindrance. The route which I have often
mentioned to you already, is still the favourite
one in view, and the Neapolitan troops see
to accompany his holiness to Velletri, where General
Baraguay d'Hilliers, at the head of his army, will be
in readiness to escort him to Rime. (This it will be
seen does not quite tally with the statement of our
Naples correspondeot, as given below.) It is a certain
fact that the triumvirate of cardinals at the Quiriosl
is now very mar the term of ire authority, especially
in pardoning or restoring to office any of the di missed
empinyis, all measures of pardon being reserved for
Pio Nono himself, who will lose no time in raising an
absolving hand on his arrival amongst his subjects. It
is expected that Cardinal Antonelli will not continue
in uaie in Rome, the Pope, who is heartily tired of
him, destining him for a mission of thanks to the
various catholic powers. The police authorities are
not yetchanged, but the report remains good that they
will be so ere long ; it is surely high time when one
of the principal of them can forget himself ID far as to
strike a prisoner! This happened a few days ago :
the brutal superintendent gave a blow in the face to
an advocate, who had jest been arrested, for suggest-
ing that there must have been some mistake in his
case, as he was cunscions of no crime, and there were
several other 'Kneen' of his name.

NAPLES.
Our correspondLnt writes asfollowe:

NAPLES, MARCH 25.
I have just time to say that the Pope will, I believe,
leave Thursday week (April 4), but not for Rome : he
will remain at Terracina, whither his Majesty will
accumpany him.
Something of a very important nature is going on
in Naples. On Friday night a Russian courier came
in with despatches; his Majesty for several days has
held councils; Savarese, formerly one of the constitu-
tional ministry, has been meld for, though I cannot tell
the result. A curious tale is in circulation, that an
Englishman, a member of the House of Commons,
last Thursday had an interview with the King; that
he told his Majesty that he would have no party:in the
house unkss frb opened the prison doors and granted
a general amnesty. On coming up from Caserta it
is said that he received an intimation from the police
to leave Naples immediately. Be it as it may, he left
suddenly on Friday morning. Such is the story,
which I have on certainly what appeals to be good
authori y, but which I canna guarantee at present.
There is strange confusion in affairs here; those who
have hitherto been the warmest in supporting the
reactioa are many of them suspended or imprisoned.
What to believe or trust in no one can tell.
