ITALY.

A letter from Naples of the 9th, in the Parla-
mento of Turin, states that the King has taken an
active part this year in the late exercises and ma-
noeuvres of the troops, which usually take place in
the spring season. This year, however, the troops
called out are not to return to their cantonments,
but are to remain encamped as an army of observa-
tion. This measure has caused some surprise in
the capital, there being no signs at present of ap-
proaching civil commotions, or of war. The head
pilot of the 'port of Naples has been sent to Genoa,
to take the command of the Sicilia, and bring her
back to Naples, where the judicial inquiry respect-
ing the late melancholy collision is to take place.
The sixth anniversary of the Constitution was,
as already stated by telegraphic despatch, celebrated
at Turin on the 14th with great pomp. The king,
the members of the legislature, the ministers, and
all the great civil and military authorities were
present at the solemn thanksgivings offered up in
the cathedral, which was decked out with tri-
coloured flags, and other suitable symbols inter-
spersed with appropriate inscriptions, while the
national guards were drawn up in parade on the
square outside. The troops of the garrison lined
the Piazza Vittoria Emmanuel° and the adjoining
streets. The King, on leaving the cathedral was
received with loud cheers by the assembled multi-
tude, and the progress of the royal family to the
palace is described as a triumphal procession, so
great was the enthusiasm of the people. The King
afterwards reviewed the troops in the Piazza
Castello.
THE PACIFIC MAIL.

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY.
By the Royal Mail Steam-ship Magdalena we
have accounts from the Pacific ports, and dates to
the 3d of April from Valparaiso, and Callao the
12th. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's
steamer Santiago arrived at Panama on the 20th
ult. with $300,000 in specie on freight.
From Valparaiso we learn that the Russian
frigate Diana sailed thence on the 23d of March,
ostensibly for the Sandwich Islands. The British
frigate President left on the 21st, and at the last
accounts was with the Trincomalee at Calloa. The
postal arrangements of the Chilian Government
had given great dissatisfaction. , The markets were
more active, but prices of goods were low, the
arrivals round Cape Horn having been numerous.
Freights were high, but, owing to the scarcity of
vessels, little was done.
From Bolivia the only news of importance is to
the effect that General Be!zu was at La Paz, and
in correspondence with General Castilla, the Peru-
vian insurgent leader, to whom he was about to
send money, arms, and troops.
Accounts from Peru state that the city of Cuzco
pronouned against the Government on the 16th
of March. General Castilla was said to be in the
vicinity of that place. President Echenivue re-
remained inactive at Lima, but was to march at the
head of the Government troops within 20 days to
hazard a general battle. The title of Liberator of
Peru had been conferred on Castilla at Ariquipa.
It was generally believed that the Government was
growing weaker day by day, and the revolutionary
party gaining strength. The British ship Ann
Dashwood went ashore on San Lorenzo on the 7th
of April, and became a total wreck. There were
42 American and 65 English vessels at the Chinchas
at the last accounts. The French ships La Fort
and L'Eurydice were at Callao. Seamen were
very scarce, and there was room for 1,000 extra
hands. Six or seven vessels were lying at the
Chinchas waiting crews to take them home. Ex-
