OPENING OF THE CHAMBERS.

The Duke of SEaRA CATRIOLA, by command of the
KING,' opened the Neapolitan Chambers on the let
instant, by reading the following royal speech :
Signori,—Whilecontemplating with joy the desired
day, on which I should be surrounded by the Legislative
Chambers of the kingdom, a fatal disaster, which I shall
never cease to deplore, unfortunately occurred to protract
the solemn opening of the session. My profound grief at
such unhappy delay is now assuaged by your presence.
since I feel the necessity of your loyal, enlightened, and
prudent assistance to revive with promptitude in this our
dear country that true prosperity which every civilized
people has a right,to claim. The free institutions irrevo-
cably sanctioned and sworn to by me would be fruitless,
were not proper laws, resting upon similar bases, to con-
solidate them by their various systems of application. I
therefore invoke your particular attention to this pro-
minent subject. In the various Bills which will be
presented to you, you will principally determine the use-
fill rules to be established for the special administration
of the communes and provinces, which form the principl
basis of every political society ; those which will defior
tively re-organize the National Guard, whose mission it's
to watch over the maintenance of the internal tranquillitl
of the State; and, lastly, those which are calculated 9
spread, with the greatest efficacy, public instruction in All
classes, for the purpose of promoting the increase of civili•
zation, and preserving entire the glory which so maul
noble talents had before procured us. The public finance
deserved, above all, your particular attention. ProralA
as f general provisions are necessary to remedy ths
inevitable disorder under which they labour al present l,
consequence of so many political vicissitudes. Nor do I
fear that in this rich country the balance between indispee'
sable necessities, and the best means to provide for them,
will be long failing. You will seek boldly to unmask the
reasons or pretexts for the fatal disturbances which, by coll;
tinually agitating the realm, paralysed on the one boa
every sort of industry and commerce, and on the othe,
rose to the excess of attacking the property IS
honour of private individuals ; and you will providt
by energetic means, against the continuation or rr
newal of so deplorable a state of things. This is I
necessity, the urgency and importance of which arl
universally felt. Order, without which no civil Pros,
perity is possible, can only proceed from wise 105'
and liberty rests exclusively upon order. I hare in gel,
neral no reason to believe that our pacific relations
the ether powers of Europe are at all changed. l'ol.
sassing thus happily the means of turning all our at-
tention to the internal administration of the state, we
may conjointly contribute to make it quietly prosper,,i;
its path. Inflexible in my intention of securing
well-being and the enjoyment of rational liberty, this
noble object shall be the constant aim of my life; s'of
your powerful assistance is a complete warrant to toe
ultimate success. Having already called God w
witness as to the purity of my intentions, I can IIC)of
do no more than invoke your testimony and that
history."
Nothing can be more deplorable than the condition
of Naples. On the 30th, the day before the opening
of Parliament, the inhabitants were in a consternistin,
lest another attempt at pillage should be attempted
by the Lazzaroni and soldiers, with the permission
the Government. The shops were all closed, and the
gates and doors strengthened, the inhabitants coating
them inside and outside with iron. Extra guarded
were placed in the direction of the Villa Reale 0,
Pozzuoli, having reference apparently to the recent
outbreak of the galley slaves at Procida.
On the Ist all circulation of carriages through
Naples was prohihited ; the railways were also Or
pended to prevent the arrival of disaffected froth tb
country ; guards were placed at all the gates of the
town, and the aspect of the city was one of cornPlet°
desolation; patrols of Swiss troops, headed by
Commissary of Police, were seen to pass from time
to time. No procession was made to the Chamber:
The speech was listened to in the most chillill6
silence. When the speech was concluded there
not the slightest expression of any sentiment
ever from the Assembly, which separated in profou%
silence. Several of the deputies afterwards declefe°
that the speech was unsatisfactory, vague, and MY:
terious. The number of deputies present was o°-
80 to 100.

The reports from Calabria are very contradictorP

LOMBARDY.
The Milan Gazette of the 2d states that Gene
r A
SONNAZ and CHIODO would begin operations in a ie
days. The head-quarters of the King of Ss.lo4ii
are now at Roverbella, and the attack of Legnsg°
considered imminent.

ROME.
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 4th publishes °go
address of the Chamber of Deputies of Rothe
answer answer to the Speech from the Throne. Airte
expressing gratitude for having been called
political life by the PONTIFF, and the determinstl,oo
to promote the unity of Italy by all legislatlo
means, the Address adverts in severe terms to
present state of the kingdom of Naples, so contra'
,
to the interests of the peninsula, and expresses a be;
that the Papal Government will demand expls,
tions as to the ignominious retreat of the Neapolir
troops. The necessity of concerting with CHO;
ALBERT an equitable distribution of the expenses 4
the war, and the declaration that the war shall i`
cease till all Italy has regained her natural con6Peo,
form the subject of another paragraph. The add
conolude3 with recommendations of local inter''
respecting public credit, administration, and I"
struction.
