PARIS, SUNDAY
ter EVENING.
I have received the following leer from Naples,
nted the 12th, inst
Domiciliary visits continue. After the visit of the
Police to Filanghieri, to Ischitella, ex Minister of War,
and other functionaries attached to the Government by
Years of fidelity, three or four days!ago M. Espagnolia, the
uonernissary of Police, visited the house where the
nephews of Gen. Lucca reside, and then presented himself
at the residence of the ex-Minister of Police, Deleanetto. I
do not mention the numerous visits paid to the houses of
thsimple citizens, especially those of the legal profession, who
e especially suspected of being hostile to the King But.
e visit which has produced the greatest astonishment in
the Public is that to the Prince de C—, whose attachment to
Bourbons bad never before been called in question. The
reason is the following :—The Prince has, it appears, a
housekeeper, who has lived with him for a long time. The
house per,
had a child who is now about 16 or 17 years
?II; age, and who is supposed, rightly or wrongly, to be
Pee natural son of the Prince. Antonio Salvi, the lad in
stion, had been recommended by the Prince to the
Superintendent of the royal stables, and, as he was an
admirable horseman, as welt as a remarkably handsome
nYrietith, he employed him as an outrider. It appears that
t-hier,jaY Antonio was in the stables at Caserta, and
„:"'`,1117, that no one else was present, he took a piece of
prepared tinder, and rubbed it against the

ot entered, and seeing a sort of match which is not
".'lleh used here, as well as the embarrassment of the
13°,14- Youth
as the lighting a match is an infraction of the regu-
t"`lens, he at once concluded that Antonio Salvi intended
atho set fire to the building. At the cry of the servant the
ee attendants ran up. Antonio was laid hold of

class. He was beaten, and had his clothes torn, and

t„,°llce sent for, and interrogated in his turn. This un.for-

I'M frightened at the danger to himself, denied that he

charnel house of the Santa ' Maria Apparente, and put to
