NAPLES.

A letter from Vienna of the 28th ult., in the
Weser Gazette, says ; " Austria has made a
last attempt to prevent the armed intervention
of the Western Powers at Naples. A telegraphic
despatch sent from Vienna to Paris has, it is
said, suspended the execution of the resolutions
previously come to. The result of the mission
with which General de Martini, the Austrian Am.
bassador at Naples, has been charged, will be
waited for. That envoy was the bearer of a
friendly ultimatum from Austria, again pointing
out to the King of the Two Sicilies the dangers to
which he was exposing himself. M. de Martini
was at the same time to deliver to King Ferdi-
nand an autograph letter from the Emperor
Francis Joseph, in which he is implored, in the
name of the bands of relationship which exist
between the two Courts, not to draw down incal-
culable misfortunes, not only on Naples, bat on
the whole of Italy."
Another letter from Vienna, in the Bourse Ga-
fiette of Berlin, says :—" We learn from good
authority that the mission of Baron de Hubner
has not completely failed. It has been owing to
him that a change of system has been promised to
the Western Powers, which will probably induce
them to suspend ulterior proceedings. Gen. de
Martini will, it is to be hoped, be able to com-
plete what Baron de Hubner has commenced."
The Dresden Gazette states that it has been
informed from Paris that the views of the French
Government relative to the affairs of Naples are
essentially changed, and that probably the fleet
will not leave.

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second

edition) says :
" A Council of Ministers was held this day at
St. Cloud. Nothing, of course, has as yet trans-
pired, and we are ignorant as to what line of con-
duct, if any, has been determined on. It is sur-
mised, from the English and Neapolitan Ambas-
sadors having attended at the Palace, that an
arrangement of the Neapolitan question is not
even now to be despaired of."

The Italian correspondent of the Times (second

edition) says—

" Everything up to the present moment (Sept.
29) indicates the most determined resistance on
the part of the King of Naples to all demands
or remonstrances. A commission, headed by
Colonel Agostini, examined on the 24th the
marine forts near Naples, more particularly
those of the military port, the Molo, and the
Castello del Novo. Those of the military
port and of the Castello were pronounced much
out of order, while those of the Molo required only
a readjustment of their guns. The land forces
are being much increased at Gaeta, whether, as I
have already informed you, cavalry had been or-
dered. The force concentrated there is 10,000
mtn ; nor does his Majesty neglect to seek the
protection of the Saints in Heaven, it being
narrated by a reliable authority that on the 18th
and 20th a friar of Santa Lucia and the Senora
Serafina, a woman reported to be of a good

by their Majesties. Baron trubner, before
leaving, requested the Austrian Consul to publish
very extensively a denial of his having come hero
on any special mission. It is added that in one
of the real objects of his coming here he has suc-
ceeded—in removing, that is to say, all un-
pleasantness of feelingexisting between the regular
accredited Minister and this Court.

"On the arrival of the allied fleet at Naples,
orders have been given to put the city in a state
of Beige."

THE POLITICAL TRIALS.
NApLBs, Sept. 29.—The disgraceful political
trial which has been for so many months drag-
ging its slow length along, has this week
made considerable advances, and though no act
of illegality, no assumption of power could ever
astonish a Neapolitan, yet every one is thunder-
struck at the imprudence which the Government
has displayed. On Tuesday, Captain Acuti was
re-examined. On Wednesday, the Attorney-
General resumed his Requisitorio, and concluded
it on Friday, the 26th inst., with demanding
the punishment of death for four ; 25 years in
irons for two ; reclusion for two ; and acquittal for
three.

M. Longo commenced, as one of the advocates for
the defence, an eloquent speech on the conclusion
of the Requisitorio, in which, as it appeared to me,
that assuming a certain degree of culpability, he
argued that it had existed in thought only—it had
been simply concertato, not carried out—had never
sprung into life—was not a conspiracyaccording to
the terms of the Neapolitan code, and could not
therefore be visited with the punishment assigned
to it by the Attorney-General.
On Saturday, the 27th, there was another court
held, and two of the counsel for the defence spoke.
