FRANILIORT. M :Oct' 1 7.—Acconnta from Naples,
of the 98th, of February, say, that disturbances of
rather ajgrions nature luta broken out in two dis-
tricts of7ie province of Basilicata ; that the armed
rioters released the prisoners, threatened to kill the
Magistrates, and also the troops who attempted to
assert the King's authority. His Majesty the Ling
of the Two Sicilies has in consequence issued a de-
cree, by which these two districts, Laureurana and
Cavello, are placed under martial law, with orders
to disarm ail the inhabitants within forty-eight
hours, and to try the guilty by a Court•martial.—
Those who have taken a part in these disorders, and
will surrender voluntarily, shall have a claim to the
King's clemency ; 'whereas those who do not stir•
render within a certain time shall be declared out-
laws..
The same uncertainty stilt prevails with respect
to the negoeiations with Turkey. It is still affirm-
ed that Russia is not satisfied with the evasive
answer which is contained in the Note of the Reis
Effendi of the 21 December; that that Power stills
insists on the evacuation of the two Principalities,
and on the appointment of Hespodars by the Su-
blime Porte, and that the mission of Mr. do Tatis-
chcff to Vienna relates to this demand. It is added,
that even before the arrival of that Minister at
Vienna, Austria had twisted at Constantinople on
this evacuation (as has been already stated), but that
the answer ef the Sultan was not known, since, in
accounts from Constantinople of the 14th of Feb.
received at Odessa, no mention is made of it,
neither do these accounts say any thing of the fate
of Ali Pacha• -
It continues to be asserted that the Porte is
sending a large army to the Danube, and that in
consequence the Turkish troops in the Principalities
become more and more numerous. Accounts from
the frootiers of Moldavia, of the lit March, say—
" Within these few days *hole troops of fugitives
arrive here, who endeavour to escape the sword of
the Turks. On account of the great number of
them arrived in the frontier villages, the Magistrates
have applied to the higher authorities for directions
how to proceed. Along the Danube the Turks are
very numerous. A great quantity of artillery and
ammunition is arrived at Itudschnek. On the 2lst,
19,000 Asiatics arrived at Siiistria, who immedi-
ately passed the Danube, affirming that a much
greater force would follow from Adrianople, and
pillage and devastation mark their course. Some
changes its the positions of the troops have taken
place in Bessarabia ; but on account 6! the difficulty
of the communications, we caumot learn the parti-
culars?

Six men were convicted at the assizes of Philips-
town, on %Vetlne:alay, the 20th, of the murder of the
Nlurphys- Patrick llublan, Patrick Bridle, and the
Keegans, four brothers, were condemned. It ap-
peared in evidence timing the trial, that Cusach,
who was executed tine the same otkuce at the pre-
ceding assizes, had limited the design, of cutting the
tongue out of the mouth of Murphy's sister after she
was murdered. The four Keegilll3 were identified
by one boy, and the other two by another boy; they
were seen by them actually engaged in firing the
house, and perpetrating the abominable crime fir
which they were convicted. When the awful 'un-:-
thaw of the law was passed on tim unhappy men,
they appeared obdurate aid unmoved! on quitting
the bar, they loudly proclaimed their innoeenee,
and uttered imprecations upon their prweentors,
sm. Since their conviction, however, Patrick Bridle
lids confessed Out tile evidence of the boys was cit.

ROOSCARHIRY, MARCH 22.—A dreadful outrage
occurred in this vicinity lust night. A small party
of the rifle brigade who brought prisoners front
Skibbereen to this town yesterday, got drunk before
their return, and seemed disposed to make a wanton
use of their arms and ammunition, but that those
who came in their way endeavoured not to attract
their notice. On their return to Skibberecn, and
not fa from Ross, they shot a pig belonging to a
poor man of the name of Baker, and a goose belong-
ing to another; and they so terrified some gentle-
men as to induce them to quit the high road, and
make the best of their way through the fields; but
the outrage to which I alluded occurred at Barley-
hill, near Mr. French's slate quarry.
Having seen a boy run terrified into the house
itnmcdiatcly next the quarry, on this side, one of
them went up to the door with his gun cocked and
presented, and insisted on the boy's coming out, who
with great uifS.•ulty was prevailed upon to du so by
his terrified &lolly. They forced him to march on
before them to the west, this soldier or one of his
companions having his gun cocked and partly pre-
sented at his back, to the great terror of the boy and
all his family, who had given him up for lost. The
boy's sister, a poor half starved creature, and almost
liter fly naked, ran after them, expecting to ree her
brother shot every moment—but she herself became
the victim—fir one of the soldier:, on seeing her,
waited after the ethers, end called tc her to come
out of the field (where she was running to watcit
' the fate of her brother) fur some indecent purpose,
• and on running back tin. protection tow trds her fa-
ther's cabin, shot her, and broke her thigh bone,
within an inch or two of the hip.
