The Paris Correspondent of the Morning Pax
'Second Edition) says :--

"The appearance in the Moniteur of the ex-
pected note on Neapolitan affairs has produced a
most favourable impression. Those who were
jealous for the honour of France are satisfied at
seeing the policy promulgated at the Paris Con-
ferences carried into effect ; and those few whose
political opinions are opposed to the Empire, be-
cause it is the Empire, find so much moderation
and dignity in the language of the Government
that they have little to say. The publication of
this note is regarded as important to Europe
generally, because it illustrates the determination
of England and France not to countenance such
Governments as that of the Two Sicilies. What-
ever may be the immediate results of the with-
drawal of the English and French Embassies, the
future results cannot be •doubted. It will show
such rulers as Ferdinand of Naples that there 14
it limit to their cruelty and misrule, which the
great Powers will not fail to observe. The pub-

lication of the note confirms the information I
have given you—viz., Chat the Cabinets of St.
James's and the Tuilecries are united in their
foreign policy as regards Italy ; and that the re-
turn of the Emperor to Paris has given a decision
to their policy. As regards the effect of this note
on the money market, I may observe that at the
Passage de I'Opera it was received with great
pleasure by the better p art of speculators, having
heea hourly expected. Its contents—so pacific,
but at the same time so explicit—caused a gene-
ral satisfaction.

" The small faction which, for nearly two
months, have been playing for the fall and conse-
quent depression of public funds by using all
sorts of tricks and rumours, had caused the rente
to he quoted early in the morning at the lowest
prices they could venture upon_ But the inter-
pret.tion given to the Government's intentions
soon checked this movement."

The Paris correspondent of the Times' (second

edition) says :

" The Government has at last spoken out on
the Neapolitan question. A note appears in the
Moniteur of today, and it corroborates pretty
nearly all I have stated on the subject for the
last week or fortnight. Opinion is, as usual,
divided on the note itself ; some call it dignified
and energetic, others the contrary, and some again
decide that it is just what was expected, but just
what suits the exigency of the case. When the
Ministers have left Naples the King will probably
make. few concessions, proprio motu as it were,
and take his own time for reform ; and then we
.hall be good friends once more. There is no
use in wasting time in conjectures as to what
will occur at Naples or in Sicily as soon as the
withdrawal of the Ambassadors is known, but an
insurrectionary movement would wonderfully com-
plicate matters. When Baron Brenier leaves, the
French Consul, M. Soulange-Bodin, will take
charge of the archives, and continue to transact
merely notarial business, and I suppose his Eng-
lish confrere will remain for the same purpose.
The Bavarian Minister will take charge of the
interests of such French or British subjects as
still abide in the Neapolitan territory. As soon
as Baron Brenier leaves, M. Antonini, the Neapo-
litan Minister at this Court, will proceed to
Brussels."

The Vienna correspondent of the Times (seconvl
edition), dated Oct. 17, says :
" Until this morning there was a strong im-
pression on my mind that Austria feigned to
distrust France in order to excite the suspicions
of England, and if possible to bring about a cool-
ness between the Western Powers ; but positive
information has now been acquired that this
Government is greatly annoyed at the conduct of
the French Cabinet in more than one matter of
importance. Complaints are made that Count
Walewski does not display sufficient firmness
towards Russia, and it is whispered that he
and M. de Morny are on such excellent terms
with the St. Petersburg Cabinet that it will
be able to manage matters pretty much as it
pleases when the Paris Conferences are resumed.
It is morally certain that Ismail would not have
been destroyed if Count Walewski had spoken
more positively on the subject when it was
brought forward by Count (now Prince) Orloff, at
Paris, and the question of the Isle of Serpents
would not now be pending if the ships of France
had returned with those of England to the Black
Sea. In my letter of yesterday a doubt was
expressed of the correctness of the assertion that
the British Cabinet did not object to the prolon-
gation of the occupation of the Danubian Princi-
palities by Austria, but it appears that her Ma-
jesty's Government has recently come to the con-
clusion that the Presence of the Austrian troops
in Moldavia and Wallachia will facilitate rather
than impede the satisfactory settlement of the
Bessarabian frontder question."
