NAPLES.

A correspondence from Naples, in the Tortionxini,
says that on the 4th of May, the anniversary of the
French constitution, the Neapolitan batteries did not
salute the French flog, to requite which disrespect the
French fleet would be absent from Naples on the
King's birthday.
The Pandora., steam-frigate. bad arrived at Naples
with dc-patches fur Admiral Parceval Dischener aid
300 seamen for the eqoadron.
The English fleet was daily expected. The French,
it was thought, vrouM sail for Palermo.

GERMANY.
PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, MAT 25.
The impression still prevails, even among the mem-
bers of the ministry and still higher quarters,
that tie attemi,t on the life of his Majesty
was iosigated by political motives, and was
the remit of a plot. It is supposed that the
imaginary conspirators reckoned on the absence
of the Prince et Prussia (he was to have left for
Warsaw on the previous eveting), and that, had
the attempt proved, succ mini, a movement would
hem been male by the d,mwratio party. Unless
the government are in posses.ion of m.re information
than is generally the case, and ur.lt as all that has
been printed coccerning. the criminal ba untrue, it is
impossible for an impassioned observer to come to any'
other conclusion than that t;:e min is perfectly in-
sane, and that latterly his insanity has taken a poli-
tical tarn, exaggerated by the desire for revenge on
the King for Lie dilemmal from the army, and the
neglect shown to his many petitions. It has become
known that for more than a week Sefeloge has been
M the habit of loiterin, about the Potsdam sticion at
the time when the train leaves for Potsdam, by which
the court generally travel, and it was announced tome
time ago in the newspar era that their lajesties in-
tended to leave be Potsdam abut the middle of the
month. In all the acts of the criminal there is dis-
played the connected cunning of the madman,—the
office?. cloak which be purchased, without which he
ciuld not have approached near enough to the door of
the royal waiting saloon, the half charge in the pistol,
and the patience with which he waited for his Ma-
' jeety'. departure. It was certified officially this morn-
ing by the medical man appointed to examine into
1 the prisoner's state of t7.ind that ho was not responsi-
ble for his acts, as he is a complete lunatic. A com-
mission of government tie: alit hes been appointed to
draw up a history of Sefeloge's life, which will be
laid before the mutt sppomted to try him for the
crime.

His Majesty's condition will be best understood by
the following translation of the cflicilel bulletir.s. The
first was published late last night, and the second

burg, Brandenburg, Stettin, Erfurt, and Potsdam, are
among thoso received. The deputies of the Z3ll Con-
gress have also forwarded a congratulatory address.
An advertisement in the National of this morning
refrying to the following statement, published in the
Zusehauer (Observer) of the Neve Prusairche Zeitung :
—"Respectable persocs avow they were informed of
assertions made in certain political unions on Tuesday
evening that the King would be shot at on the fol-

prosecutor to its purport, and begs that steps will be
immediately taken for proving its truth or false-
hood.

L,rd Conley has returned to Frankfort. A Russian
ambassador is 'spatted shortly.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, MAT 22.
The ministers who have accompanied the Emperor
on his jour .ey returned hither yesterday, and their
imperial master has arrived this evening. The Presi-
dent of the Council has found here despatches from
Frankfort borne by the young Baron Kubeck. It is
stated that these communication; relate to the right
of presidency conferred on Austria by the federal
set of 1815, and the exercise of which this power
claims on the present occasion in the most decisive
terms. The consequences of maintaining an army
of 900,000 troops native or foreign were given a day
or two azo under one of the heads of the budget :
It appears from the official list that the Russian
auxiliary troops employed in Hungary amounted to
270,000, and in Transylvania to 30,000 men. 93,000
horses were employed in the cavalry and artillery
service and for the conveyance of baggage, &c. The
charge for maintaining these troops and their horses
while on the Austrian territories falls naturally upon
the Austrian state. The liquidation of the amounts
relative to this expenditure has just commenced,
and it is for the regulation of these that
Count Zichy hu been sent to Warsaw. The
sum to be paid to Russia as an indemnification
for the expenses of the Hungarian war amounts to
3,600,000 silver roubles. It is believed that Russia
will take 800,000 roubles in salt from the government
work., and that the 3,000,000 will remain to be paid
off without interest within three years. Considering
that the intervention of Prussia in the Grand Duchy
of Baden cost 3,000,000 thalers, the expense of the
Hungarian intervention can hardly be considered ex-
orbitant.

VIENNA. It&T 23.
A circumstance occurred previous to the departure
of the Emperor from Trieste, which very much lowered
the enthusiasm of the court party. A deputation of
the most influential merchants waited on the emperor
for the purpose of representing to him the miserable
condition of the finances of Austria, which they did in
so detailed a manner, accompanied with such severe
comments on the incapacity and improper measurts of
Baron Krause, the minister of finance, that their ob-
ject could be regarded in no other light than an in-
direct petition for his removal. The Emperor replied to
the deputation that the finacces of the country should
remit,* his most careful attention. Some were since
whisper; were afloat of • trick which the minister of
commerce, Baron Bruck, intended to play upon his
colleague, Baron Krauss. It is now no longer • secret
that Baron Bruck is ambitious of tilling the more
lacritive post held by Kraus, and, es be te well ac-
quainted with the merchants of Trieste, where he was
formerly partner in the house of Bnschek and Co.,
with whom be stands well, from the sue-
emu of his efforts in procuring for Trieste
the privileges of a fres port, nothing was
easier fx ham than to take advantage of the &opt-
