NAPLES.

We have received the Neapolitan official paper, the
Journal of the kingdom of Me Two Sieitiei, which con-
tains, not the promised amnesty, but several decrees, com-
muting in a great number of instances the sentences
passed ort'individnals for political offences. The list is too
long for us to insert. Generally the punishments are
changed from imprisonment -and hard labour, or in chains,
so banishment for shorter terms. The decrees are followed
up by the following announcement from the Ministry of
Mercy and Justice :
" The judgments in matters of offences against the State and of
sectarian associations, have not generally proceeded with the necea-
sary rapidity, so that sit! a long interval they are not entirely
completed, and awake with their existence the sad remembrance of
past agitations.
" His liftijcsty wills Plat the competent jurisdictions occupy
themselves with :teal, and in preference with such judgments, so that
within a month they may all be in a condition to be discussed and
definitively decided according to the exact rule of law, giving, in
case of condemnation, on account to his Majesty before execution
of the sentence, and so that the trials aforesaid may be terminated
within the shortest passible time.

Lisbon Gasettes to the 16th ult. have been received.
Mention is - made in them of littera received from Goa,
which describe the news of the King's restoration to abso-
lute power- to Imre been received, with great joy by the
Portuguese in the East. They state, in detail, the qua-
rantine regulations which have been adopted at Lisbon :
theie are already known.
The Brussels Oracle says, in the decree published by
the King of Spain, for the suppression of military commis-.
!ions, it hag esecited some astonishment to find among the
titles of his Catholic Majesty those of the Duke of Brabant
and Count of Flanders; but this astonishment will cease
shot it is tonne that this Mona:01 claims likewise the
title of King of Jerusalem. In an age so enlightened as the
present, it seems to us that old imaginary pretensions ought
not to make part of the titles which Sovereigns deem it ex-
pedient to bear.
