eIItEIGN INTELLIGENCE.
FROM THE LEYDEN GAZETTE.
NAPLES, AUG 13.
Ling Joseph Napoleon, who set out on the 4:}r
hat. for Calabria, continues to adopt measures, on
the very spot, for the pacification of that province,
so unhappily convulsed. His Majesty has, how-
ever, absented himself for a time from the theatre
of the disturbances, and came for two days to trans-

r:

et business in the capital. He arrived at Naples

en the Bth, and set off again on the 10th, to rejoin
the corps of the army which he commands in per-
son, and which is encamped at Pietti and at St,
Laurence. Meanwhile Generals Regnier and Mas-
sena have effected a junction at Cassano and Castro-
vellari, after having both entirely cleared the pro-
vinces they traversed cf the rebels, by whom they
were infested. The projected landing of the F.ng-
lush has failed. Farther Calabria has made much
more resistance to the instigations of the ringleaders
of the rebellion and of the English, than Hither Ca-
labria ; the former will consequently be treated with
much greater lenity. The most refraCtory of the in-
surgent distriCts of Calabria have experienced all the
rigour of the laws of war, and of some places a ter-
rible example has been made. Among the towns,
that or Garigliano has been mentioned as having
been consigned to the fitmes, in spite of the efforts
of the French Generals to save it. The rebels have
been every where abandoned to their wretched fate
by the English, and by these who kindled the flames
of insurrection, from the coasts of Sicily. The
junEtion of the French Generals, Massena, ltegnier,
and Verdier, leaves die enemy no chance of success.
It is said that the advantages obtained by the dif-
ferent corps of the army, are so sierisive, that out
of 30.000 French, who were on their march for the
Itingdom of Naples, by way of Ancona, 20,000
have received orders to halt and to fall back. All
these auxiliaries had already been rendered useless,
and even those that have been accepted, are ro

ger necessary ; but they may serve to SATe the
effusion of blood, by commanding a more prompt
obedience. Among the other mesas of repression,

employed under these calamitous circumstances, is
the establishment of four extraordinary tribunals,
for the purpose of trying individuals, guilty of
climes against the security of the state, and the pub-
lic tranquillity. The Royal Decree, relative to this
sew Institution, is of the following tenor :
Joseph Napoleon, &c. fce. with the advice of
our Council of State, we have decreed, and decree
