On Monday the Glasgow frigate, Captain the

twenty-otere cl4ys from the squadron of observation in
Naples Bay. The Liffey, Capt. the Hon. H. DUN-
CAN. was Laval' for Euglend 10 a few, dins after-
ward.. The Glasgow came into Portsmouth harbour
on Werlaraday to bepaid off, and recommissioned
all standing. When the Glasgow left the squadron
under Vice-Admiral Sir GRAHAM MOORE, there
was no intention of removing the ships from that
:lay to Mes►ina (as the foreign papers have noted),
but they would await there the great events which
appeared to he fast approaching the Neapolitan
tailor. The roam of the people are represented as
Ca►bowari, and •stunted by the most deter-
wined spirit of resistance to their enemies. It was
understood that Sir ROBERT WILSON has made
an offer of his services to command the Neapolitan
troops, which was declined by the raining Govern-
ment; but a high situation on the Staff of the
army was offered to him. On the dry the Glasgow
left Gibraltar, information was received, direct Irons
