SICILY.

The public papers from Naples, Rome, and Marseilles
contain no further intelligence from Sicily. The following
letter, however, of the 9th August has been received from
Rome :

" We are entirely occupied with Naples affairs, as may he
well supposed. The court is anything but easy, and in its
alarm sees cause for fear o❑ every side. The English, the
•tiled Prince, the outraged Sicilians, its nearer subjects,
and even its troops, are all objects of suspicion. The
King, in fact, relics only upon the Swiss and the Austrians.
He cannot understand how it is that his miserable adminis-
tration is one that a state can never be tranquil under. The
greater part of the Ministers are well aware of the fact, but
they have neither the power nor the will to reform any-
thing ; they see a revolution, a national bankructcy before
them, and yet the King, alarmed as he may be, imagines
that with 10,000 Austrians he will make matters get on,
as Ile expresses it.

" M. de Cassaro, it is said, has demanded to go to Si-
cily. General Caretto, it is thought, will be sufficient.
As to the maritime towns, perhaps their efforts are feasible,
but the valleys in the interior will continue in the same
state ; and if 10,000 executions were to take place, nothing
would be gained but an augmentation of hate. Order is
no more to be preserved in Calabria than in Sicily. As
to the Abruzzi, it is a country where nothing will La done,
except by troops. Two regiments and a few moveable
columns will be the least that is necessary ; for not a step
can be taken without an escort, and with every possible escort
one cannot escape being shut at.'

In addition to this intelligence, the Gazette de Augsburg
contains an account of a military conspiracy at Naples,
purporting to be from a letter from that city, of the sth
August : _

'lliscovery has been made during the night of a conspi-
racy existing among the Neapolitan regiments against the
government. A great number of non-commissioned offi-
cers have been arrested. Almost all the Sicilians in these
regiments, as well as those possessed of sums of money, for
which they could not satisfactorily account, were comprised
in these arrests."

The same Journal adds likewise the following, contained
in a letter from the frontiers of Italy, of the ith August :
Several persons have assured us from authentic sources
that several English men-of-war have appeared off the coast
of Sicily, and that their manoeuvres have shown an evident

intention to remain in these roads. The cause of these ex-
traordinary demonstrations is unknown, and no one can tell
the motive which brings these vessels to the coast of Sicily.
The Neapolitan Government, it is said, has been extremely
uneasy in consequence. Nothing, however, has yet been
officially announced." • -

Letters from the frontiers contain also uneasy accounts
of the state of the Sardinian dominions, and the progress
of the cholera. " The situation of affairs with Spain, and
the manner in which the Cabinet of Madrid has replied to
the exclusion of Spanish vessels from all the Sardinian ports,
has caused the greatest irritation at Turin. Letters of St.
Remo, of the 4th, announce that the cholera has commit-
ted the most dreadful ravages in the provice of Genoa, and
is of so fearful an intensity, that the police were forbidden
its even being spoken of'. This district was at first spared,
tapon the appearance of the disease. The Pontifical Go-
vernment has extended its sanitary measures to all imports
from the South of France. Travellers from that part of
the country are subjected to a quarantine of a fortnight,
and merchandise to one of three` weeks."

Madame Caradori Allan has just taken her depar-
ture in the American packet-ship Philadelphia for New
York, having entered into a contract with Mr. Price, the
American manager, for fifty per:ormances at the Park
Theatre, upon terms which are estimated at a clear profit
to Madame Caradori of about 5,000/., exclusive of a con-
tract for Philadelphia, Boston, &c.

Lord 'Falkland's new mansion at Southercliffe, near
Stockton-upon-Tees, in the county of Durham, which lias
been five years building, is now completed. Lady Falk-
land and her infant son have been chiefly residing there
since the demise of his late Majesty.
The remains of the late Lord Stavordale were re-
moved on Wednesday last from Cowes, Isle of Wight, for
interment in the family vault near Sherborne, Doi set.
The French Minister of Commerce (M. Martin du
Nord), is said to have been obliged to return to Parris
without being able to obtain an interview with the noble
Secretary of State for the Foreign Department. The Mi-
nister made a very rapid inspection of the various railroads.
L rd Elphinstone arrived safe out at his Govern-
,nent at Madras early in March. lie was accompanied

Private Secretary. Captain Maynard, A. D. C., was left

A beautiful sarcophagus was lately dug up at Sa-
lonica. The cover is described as a splendid piece of sculp-
ture, consisting of a monolith of white marble, with two

the Austrian Cansul bought it for his own Government at
a very high price.
