THE REVOLUTION IN NAPLES.

IVe have received the Pari• Papers to the 4lst
instant. They contain the following accounts of
the revolution in Naples:—
Extract from a private letter, dated Naples,
Gth July, 1820:

" We have for son►c days witnessed events that
deserve notice. The Curbonori have gained the army
over to them, or rather the *soldiers and a great many
officers are become Carbonuri ; and our army, by
movements similar to those of the Spanish army,
has arrived nearly at the same result. It has pro-
claimed the constitutio►►, although as yet we
have not had one ; the King has promised one,
and it is evident that the men who direct the
movements of the troops wish for one similar to
that of the Cortes. In the night between the Ist
and Std instant, some squadrons of cavalry,
who were ►n garrison at Nola, marched with their
wins and baggage in the direction of Avellino, a city
mat far from Naples. They were accompanied by two
or three officers, and were shortly joined by son►c
country people, exclaiming with them, ' Live the
Constitution !"rhey were also joined by part of the
national militia of the province whom Gen. Pepa
hail organised. Their promises and their threats
were fur two days without any effect upon the
troops stationed at Avellino, but whether from
weakness or conni►ance, they at length joined the
insurgents, who forced the authorities of Avel-
lino to proclaim the constitution, declaring that
they would take that of Spain for their model.—
The cries of ' rare /a Boy!' were always joit►ed
with those of ' Vise hi Constitution !' but they
cried out at the same time, Down with the Minis-

tens ." During the tyro days eniployed io neguctations
at A vellino, the Golfer aaaaa ent had marched truopa
from Salem°, Naples, and Capua, commanded Ly
Generals Carsscosa, Ambrosio, soil Itoccaroulaua.
The dispositions of all Illuse corps could not be de-
pended upon, and last night apprised woof the &Lc-
tiou of the corps that marched from Salerno. The
other columns lust, in the same way, two or three re-
giments. In the mean time the coln 1111 l of General
Carascuss, who was vested with the command in chief,
spewed fidelity and resolution, and the General
proposed to attack the insurgents in Asellinu ; but
last night two regiments, which were in wirtison
here, vet out to join the insurgents under Gene-
ral Peps, the only one who had openly aban-
doned the canoe of the King. The moment the
King was informed of this new dementia, he assem-
bled a Council, and at six o'clock in the morning
Proclamation was posted up, iu which his Majesty
states, that the nation having manifested its wish fur
'a constitution, he is determined to give it cue ; that

he will i ..mediately settle its Isastsiothl that they shall
he made known io eiglitdays. The troops are invited
to return to their quarters, and the country p*ople
to resume their ivnial occupat'ons. Although close
to the focus of the insurrection, we enjoy here per-
fect tranquillity. The city guard is sufficient to
maintain order, and we are not afraid it will be
rhoturbeil. It may suffice to say, that the King
and the Royal Family run no danger. The
Hereditary Pence and Princess, who sirrived on
the 2il fr Sicily, and lied settled at Portici,
are come to join their august Parent. All the Mt.
ousters muse tendered their resignation. 'they err,
it is said, succeeded by the Hoke of Campo
Chian) in the office of Foreign Affairs, Ge-
neral Caraiscosa in the War Department,

Amitli is aupointed to the Finance., and the
Marquis Strreri to the Home Departtnent."—

It is unfortunately ton true that a military revo-
lotion has been effected in the kingdom of Naples,
and that two regiments hare railed the standard of
insurrection, cud obtained from the King the pro-
mise of a constituti -The chief, of this movement
are the Priore Cii"po-Chiaro, and two Generals,
of whom one had been an Aide-de-Camas of Murat.
The :hire have entered into the Ministry. The
first intelligence oT this event was brought to the
Keoghs') Ambassador by an extraordinary courier.
We are assured that the French Minister received
a confirmation of it yesterday. Every thing leads
us to think, from what is known of the leaders in
this conspiracy, that liberal opinions have less in-
fluence in this business than may be supposed.
There is, therefore, ground to hope that the
result will be of less importance than the
commencement appeared to announce. Be-
sides, the situatiou of the King is not alarming ;
he has with him the warm affection of the people,
and the respect and confidence of all his subjects,
the greater part of whom were far from desiring a
slew constitution.—(Gazette de France.)

The following is the substance of a letter re-
ceived by a Nobleman in Bath, from Naples. dated
July 6, 1820, detailing further particulars of the
revolution at Naples :
" On Sunday, the night of the 2d of July, a
small corps of cavalry (about 120) marched nut of
Nola, accompanied by some Officers ; they display.
ed the tri-coloured cockade. Their 6rOt move-
ment was upon Avelino, where they were fired
upon by a battalion of the Tamnite regiment. In
the course of the next day, however, the Insur-
gents were reinforced by great numbers of the
peasantry, and the town was taken, the battalion
disarmed, ■nd the civil stithorities obliged to swear
allegiance to the Constitution. The Neapolitan
Government was altogether unprepared fur such
events, and being perhaps diffident of the troops in
garrison at Naples, they delayed any attack upon
the Insurgents. until the latte► had collected an
imposing force.
" The Royal troops at length made some move.

Nola road, and another of these marched to Nocers,
and the %hole were put under the command of
General CARASCORAI There arrangements led to
an expectation that an attack would be made upon
the Insurgents, but the spirit of the troops op-
posed to them rendered a retrograde movement tie.

tinely front Naples and put I ' self at the head
of the disaffected troops and decided the affitir.
MINCHINO, a Canon of Nola, and a man of con-
sideratileability, is a leading character among the
Insurgents.

" The King, after come resistance, has issued a
Proclamation, iiroinising a Constitution in eight
days. The Ministers have rseigned their situations,
and a new Governinent is forming.
