C essions than were approved of by Lord PALNIER-
STON must be made to MEHEMET ALI.

The French Journals of Wednesday bring no
news of interest. The Neapolitan question excites
great interest, but notwithstandny, the warlike tone
of the intelligence which will be found elsewhere in
our columns, the general impression was that an
amicable adjustment would take place.
The French Government has consented to abo-
lish the monopoly in salt.
In the Moniteur we find the following tele-
graphic despatch from French Africa :
" TOULON, APRIL 28 ~THE MARITIME PREFECT TO THE MINISTER, OFIB4O. THE
MARINE.
.‘ On the 25th the Marshal went to join the Princes at
Bouffirick. The campaign will be immediately opened.
The troops are marching towards Blitlab. It is believed
that the first operations will be against Medeah."
Several petitions were presented in the Chamber
of Peers on Wednesday, praying that in conse•
quence of the high price of butcher's meat in Paris,
lean cattle ;Might be received from abroad, duty
free. After an uninteresting debate, the petitions
were referred to the Minister of Commerce.
The conferences between the French and the English
Commissioners were to be resumed yesterday. Mr. Mac.
gregor, one of the English Commissioners, being detained
at London by his functions, Mr. Buker and Mr. Porter
will be the only representatives of the Government. They
have only to determine the conclusion, the principle of
which is already laid down, and then In proceed to the &-
tail of the stipulations.—Courrier Francais.
The Toulon Journals of the 24th confirm the news that
the Genereux and the Marengo had quitted the roads of
Toulon during the night, to proceed to Naples.
The Ocean. bearing the flag of Admiral Rosamel, is still
in port. This ship, says the Eclaireur de la Mediterrancc,
is waiting for the French Envoy Extraordinary, who is ex-
pected at Toulon to-day or to-morrow, to embark on board
the Ocean, %%hien will convey him immediately to Naples.
The Cocyte steam-boat had also just left Toulon for an
unknown destination. It was, however, supposed that
very imvrtant despatches, which it had received on board
the s.ime morning, were to be conveyed to Naples.
The Gazette du Midi says that the Duke of Algens
will return from his expedition to Algeria in a fortnight.
The Sur/ of Marseilles says that the Board of ileeith of
that city is preparing ap,rtments for his Royal Highness
in the Lazaretto.—Le Commerce.
The Vautour, which was sent with a commission to
Naples, has arrived at Toulon with the despatches, which
were immediately forwarded to Paris. It is said that the
King of Naples persists in his refusal. The dates from
Naples are of the 22d. —Le Constilutionnel.

WAR WIFH NAPLES.

We have received Malta papers and letters to the 16th
ult. The following are extracts of the news relating to
Naples and the English fleet

From the Mediterreneo.)
" The Hydra war steamer, which left this on the 3d
instant, with a despatch from Admiral Stopford to her Ma•
je.ty'g Minister at Naples,- returned here on the 9th, after
waiting two days and a half without a satisfactory answer.
She left Naples on the evening of the 7th, and Palermo
on the following day, where she caged to communicate
with her Majesty's Consul. His Excellency the Admiral
having already been apprised of the obstinate persistance
of his Sicilian Majesty by a special Queen's messenger,
ilt° arrived with despatches from her Majesty's Minister at
Naples, in the French steamer Scamandre, from Grits
Vecchia, on the Bth inst., had order ed.all the British ships
of war in Malta harbour to prepai e immediately fur sea.
On the same afternoon the Bellerophon ship of the line
and Jaseur brig of war put to sea, and during the night
the H)dra steamer was suddenly ordered away. The latter
makes the best of her way to Naples, to announce the ap-
14roach there of the two former (which will call a. Palermo
and Messina.) They will be joined in the Bay of Naples
by his Excellency, the Admiral, in the Princess Charlotte,
with the Beauty of the line, Tyne frigate, and Phoenix
war steamer, which are about to take their departure, his
Excellency having delayed his departure in order to re-
ceive the London overland despatches of the 14th instant,
which arrived from Marseilles in the Prometheus steam.
packet of Monday. The mail for India brought by this
conveyance was despatched to Alexandria by the Acheron
iteam• packet yesterday. The Implacable arrived from
Yourla on Sunday, and will follow the Admiral as soon as
she refits. There were no foreign ships of war at Naples
when the Hydra left, but many English merchant vessels
and several yachts, among others the Anonyma, belonging
to the Hoe. Captain Greville who was in treaty for the
sale of her to the Neapolitan Government.
( From the Malta Times.)
When the Hydra cast anchor in Palermo Bay, nearly
the whole of the population flocked down to the Marina,
and the smallest indication on the part of Captain Robin-
son would have occasioned a general rising ; such ap-
peared to be the excited feelings of the people in favour of
tilt English Government in that country. At Girger,ti,
it is said an emeute has taken place.
A courier extraordinary was sent to the Court of Naples
with an ultimatum to the effect that the King should abo-
lish the sulphur monopoly ; and that if be did not come
to this agreement from the day of the presentation of this
ultimatum, he should pay 1,0001, per day as indemnifica-
tion to the British Government until he did agree. This
ultimatum was presented by the British Ambassador to the
King of the Two Sicilies, on reading which he gave
way to violent passion, and refused to accept it.
