NAPLES.
The Times' (second edition) Paris correspondent

says :

" The Neapolitan question still makes no pro-
gress, and many conjectures and reports spring, as
might be expected, from this pause in the pro-
ceedings. People say that it looks as if the de-
cided measures announced hung fire, and infer
from this that they may not be taken, and that
the matter may, after all, be in some way patched
up. Now one of two things is quite clear ; the
King of Naples must yield, or France and
England must abandon the demands they
have so strongly urged. It is difficult to ima-
gine an intermediate course ; equally difficult
to suppose that, after all that has passed—after
coming to a decision and preparing a squadron,
the two great Powers will allow the thing to blow
over, and the King of Naples to continue as
before. It is quite incredible that such a course
should be adopted, and I do not believe that it
will, or that indecision exists on the part of the
French and English Cabinets. Probably, were it
consistent with the reserve and secrecy necessarily
imposed upon high departments of the State, the
slight delay might be explained in a very easy
and natural manner. But the public, having
got wind, perhaps rather prematurely, of the
measures contemplated, is puzzled to understand
why they are not immediately executed, and
forges obstacles where forms perhaps are the sole
impediment. The general tenour of the intelli-
gence on the subject contained in the French and
foreign paper does not encourage a hope that the
King will give way, and that the final notes pre-
pared by France and England may be dispensed
with. Of the success of Baron Hubner's repre-
sentations there is as yet no promise, nor does it
seem to be thought probable that he will be able
to arrange the difficulty. Meanwhile the end of
the week approaches, beyond which, as we have
been assured, the despatch of the notes is not to
be delayed."

The Times (Second Edition) Vienna corres-
pondent says
" Whatever may be said or written to the
contrary, the Austrian Government is greatly
vexed that the Western Powers have resolved to
send their ships to Naples. It is not that this
Cabinet has any kindly feeling towards his Nea-
politan Majesty, but it denies in toto the right of
one State to interfere in the internal affairs of
another. Credible information has been given
me that Austria has done all in her power to
prevent France joining England in the ex-
pedition to the Gulf of Naples, and that
she is much mortified at her want of success. I
know to a certainty that the Imperial Cabinet has
more than once informed the Neapolitan Govern-
ment that it cannot and will not interfere in a
quarrel which has been brought about by mere ob-
stinacy. Austrians in ace affirm that Baron
Hubner had no mission to the King of Naples,
but the impression on my mind is that he had,
as General Martini, the Austrian Minister at the
Court of Naples, has for some time been absent
from his post, and did not leave Vienna to return
to it until yesterday morning.'

The Morning Post (second edition) says :
" The intelligence we get from Vienna to-day
informs us that Prince Petrulla, the Neapolitan
Minister at that Court, had sent his resignation to
Naples. The Vienna journals also state that Sar-
d.nia wishes to take part in the expedition to
Naples, in order to protect her subjects. Why
Prince Petrulla has resigned I know not. He has
been many years at Vienna, and was supposed to
enjoy the confidence of the King. At all events we
may suppose that his resignation originated in
some difficulty in earrying out his instructions
from Naples. It is that he has failed to convince
Austria of the necessity of supporting King Fer-
dinand. The Vienna telegraph also informs us
that an Austrian ship was to join the allied
squadrons if they went to Naples. lam unable
to throw any light on these unexpected events."

The Oesterreichis*he Zeitung has received news
of importance from Cattaro. The Turkish steamers
Malakhoff and Silistria, with Mehemed Pasha, the
Turkish Governor-General of Bosnia, and four
battalions of guards, on board, are expected at
Antivari, in Albania. There is also a great move-
ment of troops in the Hersegovina and Turkish
Servia. The Bosnian Contingent is assembling
at Mostar, under the command of Mehemed
Pasha, and the Roumelian troops are marching to
Monastir (Albania), where Abdi Pasha has his
head-quarters. All these preparations are mak-
ing against Montenegro, but it is almost certain
that there will be no attack on that nest of free-
booters this year, as the Powers have interfered.

M. de Sydow, the Prussian Envoy in Switzer-
land, has replied to the note of the Federal
Government in the following, terms :
" In answer to the note of the High Council of
the Swiss Confederation, of the 10th, the under-
signed Privy Councillor and Envoy of his Majesty
the King of Prussia can only refer to the tenour
of his note of the sth, and to the reserves for-
merly made on the subject of the principality of
Neuchatel. The undersigned avails himself of
this opportunity to repeat to the High Federal
Council the assurance of his consideration.

" DE SYDOW."

The latest intelligence from Constantinople
asserts that Admiral Houston Stewart is to re-
enter the Black Sea, and that the English fleet,
under the command of Lord Lyons, will raceive
reinforcements. Persia has proposed to refer to
the arbitration of a foreign Power its differences
with England.

The Porte is sending to the frontier of Mon-
tenegro fresh troops, munitions of war, and an
artillery force of 90 heavy guns.

There was a rumour yesterday in Vienna that
some Austrian ships of war were ordered to
Naples as a " squadron of observation."
