(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)
PARIS, THURSDAY EVE N 00:
Another day—and nothing in the Moniteur about t"
Neapolitan affair. It cannot, then, be doubted that t
French government hesitates to commit itself to to
irrevocable act of actually making the threatened nat
demonstration in conjunction with England, and that
hopes that even at the last moment the foolish XI
Naples will render it unnecessary by his concessions•
reason why the French Emperor and his advisers 3re,
reluctant to act in the matter, after all their talk
bluster, is, that a revolution in Naples, which is ,
expected, would certainly have its centre coup in
It mus however, be mentioned, in justice to the r";
government, that, according to a German PaPer':fot
agreed with England to allow the King of Naples -,l]
night to reflect as to whether his decisive Way--
answer to their demands shall be yes or no. ,tipl

election ; and as it is my fixed intention and Pur,rit e',401
again to solicit the honour of a seat in the couo- ro.
ber, the sooner our friends are informed upon that 5/
the more convenient it may prove for future at 11,,e*
ments. I therefore hasten to state the reasons
led me to this conclusion. Increasing years, al,,ioS Tntl,
tain period of life, is in itself no slight consideraiond
question of this nature ; and it should be bornecosede,
that on the highest authority a limit has been tileivsol7l
which human activity cannot be extended to8:1;1 thVor
But that is not all, for you will allow me to au-vistitiorl,
frequently feel, and sometimes very sensibly, a ofofor

life and which is so necessary to the satisfactorYooool4

Other reasons might be added; but I forbear saYTherf,fe
about myself, and the numerous other claims of!lleii tvo
nent nature on one w
's time and means, from ilore ft°le
can be no withdrawal. I could not, however, re sesPiSo
the honourable position in which my fellow barges for of
placed me, without giving a substantial moo?, tifeiel,
course lam about to adopt. I hope that near'soo9l
years' service in the council chamber will pep- y oft
by our friends as a fair contributiontJ
towards the obligation which I acknowle(,001110
man to be under as a member of the Cie or", 0

the required supply of water—that great necestsolsit

in the council room without making some allusic,,tiotrisf

perhaps remember that my call to the office of t, 0015 e.
