The Queen of Naples.

The subjoined reply of the young Queen of Naples to an
address of the ladies of her Court, presented shortly before
her return from Augsburg to Munich, conclusively disposes
of the cruel and wanton calumnies which have been circu-
lated within the last two months. The following is tram.
slated from the Munich eorrespondenco of the Gazette of
Augsburg of the 11th inst :
" The Queen of Naples was received, on her arrival at
Munich, by her mother, the Duchess of Bavaria, and all her
suite. Her Majesty has received from the ladies of her
Court, now in Paris, the following address :

" ' Madam,—The ladies of your Majesty's Court, driven
upon a strange coast by the tempest of the revolution, are
impelled, once more, alike by their duty and their wishes,
to offer your Majesty, on another recurrence of New Year's
day, their ardent aspirations for the re-establishment ni
your Majesty's precious health, in order that your Majesty
may be enabled to proceod whether your heart calls you to
join the King, our sovereign lord and master.
' Under the fair Italian skies your Majesty will find
tranquillity and happiness. We cherish this precious hope,
and that that proud, luminous crown which adorned your
Majesty in midst of the dangers of Gaota, and the sorrows
of exile, will acquire a new glory when you once more stand
beside your Royal husband, the worthy son of St. Louis,
Francis 11. Heaven will enable us to renew in the face of
the world and at the feet of your Majesty the assurances of
our devotion and veneration, when your Al ajesty shall be
seated on the throne of your fair city of Naples, now de-
serted and regretting her beloved Sovereign. Deign, Madam,
to accept our homage.'
(Here follow the signatures.)

" To this address the Queen sent the following gracious

reply :

" ' Augsburg, Jan. 4, 1863, Convent of Ursula.

" Ladies,—Once more the evidence of your fidelity and
your devotion comes to solace my exile. I gratefully accept
the,wishes:you express for the re-establishment of my health.
Placing all my trust in the Divine Goodness I await the
moment which may restore me to my husband and enable
me to partake his misfortunes and his hopes.
" ' Receive, ladies, the assurance of my thanks and my
friendship, " MARIE.' "
