VISIT 011 PRINCR NAPOLEON TO
.NAPLES.

NAPLES, MAY 14.
The long expected event has at length taken
place. Prince Napoleon has arrived and has been
received with those honours which NN ere due to him
as the advocate of the liberties of Italy, and as the
son-in-law of her undisputed Sovereign. So early
as 8 o'clock in the morning the two battalions of
the National Guard chosen to do duty on the
occasion were oa foot, the cavalry of the same
body were displaying their really beautiful costume,
and here and there Ministers or Court officers were
to be seen fluttering about in their bright butterfly
uniforms. The city itself was, however, indifferent;
there were no decorations in the streets, no flags
hoisted ou the occasion except here and there
over the doors or balconies of a French subject ;
while, on the Bourse and other public places, all
with whom I spoke alluded to the approaching
visit simply as it had reference to their position as
people of an united Italy, subjects of Victor Em-
manuel. Their speculations and anticipations, it
must be confessed, were wild enough, but they were
purely Italian in their character, they were not
stained by the slightest tinge of French sentiment,
and, though they were calculated to make the lis-
tener smile, they could not make the most appre-
hensive serious. Towards the afternoon, when
people here take their airing, carriages and pe-
d,.t..;“ao began to assemble :in Santa Lucia,
the best site for witnessing the expected spec-
tacle. The bay was as beautiful as it ever
is, and as I described it last week, for on its
glassy surface, now that the ?naestrale had died
away, were reflected the tall ships, the fringe of
white houses round the opposite coast, and the dark,
sulky mountain behind them, and boats in great
numbers seemed to delight in glancing over these
unsubstantial forms. It was not until 5 o'clock that
the French vessels dressed, and were quickly fol-
lowed by the British and Italian vessels in port.
Shortly after the yards were manned, our men now
wearing the blue jacket, not all in white as when
Victor Emmanuel appears, and that great strong
head, whoever he may be, standing on the truck of
the Algiers. The sailors of the French vessels were
all dressed in blue. The firing of guns from, the
fort now announced the appearance of the Prince,
and about 6 o'clock the Imperial yacht rounded the
Fort of Castello Nuovo, and, instead of going into
the Roy al Port, anchored just under nay windows
in Santa Lucia, alongside the French vessels. You
can conceive the thundering salutes which followed,
though they were not so repeated, of course, as
when the King entered. A fleet of small boats
bearing the Italian flag, where they had any,
thronged round the yacht, and almost impeded
the passage of the Prince's barge; two other
boats followed with the staff and the attendants
of the Prince; and then the crowds drove and
ran up to the Piazze. Plebiscite to get a
view of his Majesty's guest as he entered the
Palace. There were large numbers of people assem-
bled here, for the chance of a spectacle will always
get together your lazy, curious Neapolitans, and the
greetings were very cordial, but they proceeded
from those close to the Palace, and did not extend
to the whole crowd. The band, as the Prince drove
up from the Arsenal and made his appearance in
the Piazza, played, " Partant pour la Syrie," the
National Guards presented arms, and the Royal car-
riage was soon lost within the Palace gates. The
crowds, however, would not disperse until they had
had their curiosity fully gratified, and began to
clap their hands. After a delay of about a quarter
of an hour, the large balcony windows in the centre
were thrown open, and Victor Emmanuel, who was
received with enthusiasm, came forward, leading
his Imperial son-in-law by the hand, whom he pre-
sented to the people. Bows and clapping and vivas
followed, and the Royal party then retired.
The reports which I have received of the enthu-
siasm of the Calabrese in the short visit of the King
to Reggio exceed anything which .1 have already
given you. They cut off portions of the King's
dress to preserve as relics, and in other ways gave
signs of the most extraordinary enthusiasm. Let
no one sneer at all this. Victor Emmanuel, it is
true, was personally unknown to them, and has
more the manners of the soldier than the courtier,
but he represents a Power which has redeemed
them from a despotism under which they have
trembled and groaned for half a century, and they
feel confidence, a feeling they never had before, in
a man who has never violated his word.
NAPLES, MAY 15.
I have been watching, not with apprehension
but with curiosity, during the last two or three
days, for any indication of the existence of a French
feeling, but I am utterly unable to discover any.
Indeed, yesterday presented splendid opportunities
for the manifestation of such a sentiment, if any
there had been, and I have come to the conciueion
that it would require Diogenes' lantern, with an
electric light, to find out such a monstrt us abortion
as a Muratist or a Napoleonist in Southern Italy.
Years ago, as I have already stated, a French party
did exist, when the Neapolitans were crushed to tho
very dust by the Bourbons, but their hopes and
wishes were those of desperate men who would have
laid hold of anything or any one to save them from
utter ruin ; now, however, there is -not only no
French party, but not an individual with French
sympathies, and the simplest allusion to the possi-
bility of Imperial intrigues in Southern Italy has
often in wy presence awakened the strongest indig-
nation. My object in so writing is simply to define
the position with precision, for hopes though falsely
entertained will often produce great evil. T.ie
only appeal that is ever made to France is in the
form of a remonstrance against the continued occu-
pation of Rome by her troops. On this point there
can be no mistake. I read it in the universal press,
I hear it ire the Piazza and in the theatre, and in all
public places and on every possible occasion France
is invoked, by every consideration of public honour,
of enlightened policy, and of enlarged benevolence,
to withdraw her troops from Italy, and !eel e the
Italians to do for themselves. This is all that we
hear of France in Naples, and were it otherwise I
would freely tell you.
There is no diminution of warmth towards the
King, nor was there any lack of courtesy to the
Prince yesterday, but there was an evident desire
to show that Victor Emmanuel, an Italian, alone
reigns in the hearts of Italians. Gratitude is felt
for foreign support, whencesoever it comes, but
foreign inflaence in the form of control or interven-
tion is utterly abjured. Perhaps, too, there was a
feeling of disappointment that the mountain has
only produced a mouse, for this sanguine people
have been indulging in the wildest hopes as to the
communications to be made by his Imperial High-
ness. As nothing has yet transpieed there is a
powerful reaction, and the glass is going down,
down, down.

Several of the French vessels have left to•day—
several will remain. The Algiers and Neptune
hNo gone out for a short cruise, and the former
will probably go to CustelLituare next week for two
or three days.

Mr. Bonnlin has just been promoted to be Con-
sul-General—a stup !O9 long, th-ferred.

THE AI.ANCIIESTER MtHIDEB.S.—The funeral of
Mr. Evan MeLer, "the agent who was murdered by Taylor
and his wife on Fri-iay last, took piece yesterday, when his
terrains were interred in the graveyard of Ch,riton-clun-
Hardy Church, about three links from Mends stet. .1 he
funeral was very private, and did not att, act much observa-
tion. The children of the prisoners were interred on the
previous day at Harpurhey Cemetet y, and some thousands
of people assembled to witness the mournful proceedings=.
The police are still engaged in their investigat:ons, and have
discovered where the children's clothing was disposed of.
It appears that Taylor ha 1 been trying to obtain a situation
shortly before the murder, but in his letter replying t. an
advertisement his references to the boiler explosion and the
loss of his daughter were so strangely mixed up with other
matter as to create doubt of his esuiW, a" 1.1411
