NAPLES,

The instructions which M. Manna and M. Win-
speare, the Neapolitan envoys at Turin, have re-
ceived from King Francis 11., are said to consist in
the three following points :-1, to set forth the
programme of the concessions which the King
pledges himself to make, while reserving his, at
least nominal, sovereignty over Sicily ; 2, to sound
the disposition of the Sardinian Cabinet ; and, 3,
to lay down the bases of an alliance with Pied-
mont. On his side, the Marquis de La Greca, who
has just arrived in Paris, is said to be charged
with a similar mission to the French and English
Governments.

" The following," says a Naples letter of the 15th
in the Nord," is the text of a despatch lately ad-
dressed by General Clary, the Commandant at
Messina, to the Ministers of War and Marine at
Naples :
" "The Veloce, concealed behind the Lipari Islands, runs
out to capture any Neapolitan vessel she sees. Send im-
mediately, before she can be joined by any other private
vessel, the Fulminante, the Ercole, and the Fieramosca, as
well as the Parthenope and the Regina, which can be taken
in tow by the others, that she may be captured. I should
have sent out the Archimede but she is disabled. We are
all devoured by rage; the state of affairs becomes serious.
Our communications are interrupted. Answer, and give
instructions.'

The following is the despatch sent iii reply :

" General Severino to General Clary.

" ' The steam frigates will leave to capture her. French
steamers will convey ammunition. Propose whatever you
think best.' "

The same letter adds :
" Yesterday evening all the Neapolitan vessels were to
start in order to recapture the Veloce, but when the cap-
tain of the Fulminante gave the order to weigh anchor,
the crew refused. The King, on being informed of this
fact, sent for the captains, in order to ascertain from them
the disposition of their crews. All of them, with the ex-
ception of four, declared that they would not leave, and
those four went on board. On reaching their vesels they
found their crews in open mutiny, and met with a forma
refusal to weigh anchor. General Clary is right ; the situa•"
tion of affairs becomes most serious."

BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, JULY 19.

The sitting of the Chamber of Deputies was yes-
terday extremely animated. The address to the
King, which is to be presented to his Majesty at
3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, on the occasion of
the 29th anniversary of his accession, was read to
the Chamber; and th e final vote, abolishing the
octrois, or town dues, was taken. I must limit my-
self today to sending you the subjoined translation
of the address, which was received with enthusiasm,
and repeatedly interrupted by the applause of the
audience.

At half-past two M. Orts, President of the Cham-
ber, ascended the tribune, and read as follows :
" Sire,—This day commences the 30th year of your
reign. Receive the congratulations of the Chamber of Re-
presentatives. Once more it comes to express to you the
national sympathies upon which, since a quarter of a cen-
tury, your throne gloriously rests.
" That long road happily traversed, our independence
rendered fruitful and daily blessed, our manly liberties ele-
vating the soul by the sentiment of right and animating
with an active vigour the whole social body, the gradual
development of a prosperity previously unknown—all this
generous toil accomplished with a mutual confidence, with
the same loyalty, the same persistance, the same devo •
tion to the general good—all this is what has for so many
years united Belgium and her King. To destroy the tie
it would be necessary to tear from our annals the life of a
whole generation. Where is there to be found in the in-
terior history of a people, 30 years whose memory is more
uneffaceable and on which liberty, peace, and civilisation
have more abundantly shed their benefits, or during which
a more legitimate success has rewarded nobler labours ?

' " There are old nations which still are seekingthe politi-
cal regimen that may satisfy the new necessities of society,
without weakening the basis on which social order at all
periods reposes. This problem of our times Belgium re-
solved by herself, from the morrow of that day on which,
after centuries of subjection, it was granted to her freely to
mark out her own path. By her first effort she founded
institutions so happily suited to her character, so fully
sufficing for all necessities and all wishes, that already
it seems as though they were consecrated by
the lapse of centuries, so general is the respect
that environs them, so easy has their practice become, so
immoveable do their foundations appear. And thus it is
that when, some years since, the political tempest disturbed
men's minds and raised the popular whirlwind around us, it
was Belgium that gave to Europe the example of calm and
stability ; it was the young Belgian monarchy that rendered
to its seniors the services of checking the conflagration by
the spectacle of a fres and happy people rallying around
their King. What Crown passed through those great trials
with more honour than the Crown of Belgium ? What
people thenceforward could believe Belgium less capable
than itself of ruling its own lot—less worthy to bear its
own name ?

" Sire,'after having risen and taken root amidst the dif-
ficulties of the past, ought the natural edifice to dread the
storms of the future ? Who shall hereafter think of shak-
ing your popular throne on its well-tried foundations ?
Who shall conceive such a design, unless it be men light of
mind and without a mission, of depriving a people which,
without injuring any other, has known how to conquer so
honourable a place among the most worthy of its name and
of its very existence ?
" There are political crimes which enlightened nations
have not to fear. In the centre of the civilisation of Europe
as she now is, Governments do not trample under foot all
that the human conscience respects. In our days the blood
of nations is not squandered to shield a throne which mil-
lions of men unanimously surround with their veneration
and their gratitude. Attempts are not made to assassinate
a nationality full of life and strong in its good right, in
•universal esteem, and in the solemn engagements of all
Europe. If one day, Sire, it were possible that all the
rights and duties which exist between Governments
as between nations could be disregarded ; if your crown,
our liberties, our holy independence and our native land,
were menaced, Belgium, at the summons of the King,
would know how to defend her national treasury as a free
and virtuous people defends all that it holds most sacred.
She has had long enough experience of foreign domina-
tion; long enough were her rights, her dignity, her riches,
her rank, sacrificed to other interests than her own. Her
head will never again bend beneath a yoke she detests and
has for ever broken. In the hour of peril her courage will
not remain isolated. The faith of treaties, the interest and
independence of Europe, are not vain words. A cause to
which no honest men of any country can remain inditie
rent, will never be in danger of perishing or of lacking de-
fenders.
" Continue, Sire, to preside with confidence over our des-
tinies. Faithful and devoted, Belgium will remain worthy
of herself and of her King."

For several minutes after the conclusion of the
address the most vehement applause resounded in
the Chamber, by which it was enthusiastically and
unanimously adopted.
