body—an army, in fact—amounting to 4,000 men,
marched in flom Potenza, the capital of the Basili-
cata. What a scene of confusion and enthusiasm
it was ! They are all dressed as civilians—some
with the peaked hat of Calabria, others with the
Phrygian cap. There are hundreds of monks and
priests enrolled amongst them, and crucifixes and
tricoloured banners are jumbled together. Towards

Close by in Santa Lucia, there is another candi-
date for popularity. A Garibaldian is addressing
the royalists of this quarter, amidst tricoloured flags
and oyster benches, and when all is over the Santa
Luciani follow the orator into the city, and attempt
to confess their political sins and fraternise with
those of the more liberal quarter, but they are coolly
received, and return to their boats and their fish-
stalls mortified.

opened, discovering six cannon. We had no artil-

us." They were very young (Milanese), and all of
the same country. One had his arm in a sling, it
had been shattered by a piece of a shell; another
was wounded in the foot, another in the thigh.

with
Victor Emmanuel, Signor Vemereati, who takes
back Garibaldi's answer to his Majesty's letter.
The answer, which implies also :the contents of
Victor Emmanuel's letter, was, as I am informed, to
the effect that Garibaldi intended to march upon
Rome, though it was expressed in the most loyal
and respectful spirit. Mazzini had an interview
with Garibaldi on the same night that the letter was
received, and it is not improbable that the reso!u-
tions of the Dictator were confirmed by the counsels
of the ex-Triumvir. The Sicilian Ministry was
published last night, and is as follows :

Rentes to the amount of 501,794 ducats, regis•
tered in the Gran Libro in the name of Gaetano
Rispoli, but which were the accumulation of the
House of Bourbon at the expense of the people,
have been transferred to the general Treasury, as
also other Rentes to the amount of 317,186 ducats,
standing in the names of the several members of the
same Royal family.

The fort of Baia, which is the general depository
of the powder of the kingdom, and garrisoned by
200 artillerymen and veterans, and commanded by
Major Livrea, still holds out. On being summoned
last Tuesday to give up the fort to the National
Guard, the major refused to do so unless he had the
written order of Francis li. As it is provisioned
only for 20 days, in order to save human life it has
been surrounded by a strong guard. In anticipa-
tion of a speedy bombardment of Capua, which I
think will take place from the north, the municipal
officers have ordered committees to be formed to
prepare bandages and lint for the wounded. The
Neapolitan ladies and priesthood are also called upon
to lend their assistance. A letter just received from
a person of distinction in Gaeta reports that there
are plenty of soldiers in that place, but no comman-
ders. Insubordination was active. The writer
thinks that they must soon leave, as the army of
Lamoriciere is broken up.
I am informed, on authority that I can rely on,
that Victor Emmanuel's letter to Garibaldi was to
propose or urge the immediate annexation of the
Two Sicilies. Vimercati left discontented, and the
answer is unfavourable to the wishes of his Majesty.
The Marchese Pallavicini left Naples at the same
time ; he had come here in consequence of a request
from Garibaldi to act as pro-Dictator. Whether he
has accepted it or not I cannot tell. The Marchese
Trechi arrived last night ; the object of his mission
to Turin was to offer the annexation of this country
on condition that Victor Emmanuel should dismiss
his Ministers.

The Dictator returned in the evening from Santa
Maria, as did a number of amateur English, who
had been over during the day, to get a new sensa-
tion. Your correspondent on the spot will give
you all the details of the fight which took place ;
but I may venture a few words on the facts as they
have been reported by the amatori. The recon-
naissance succeeded, but the feigned attack which
was to cover it was disastrous, A panic seized the
Garibaldini. The inhabitants of Santa Maria were
in a state of consternation—tricoloured flags were
hauled in—doors shut up, and had the royalists
known how to push their advantage, there would
have been disaster upon disaster, but they would
have been knocked out of their saddles on their
return. The name of the young Ferrara, a Nea-
politan, who alone served two guns, deserves to
be mentioned, as also that of Jarvis, a
young Englishman, who, together with others
of our countrymen,' rdid what they could
to stop the panic. Colonel Peard of course
was there, and Colonel Baker and Major
Wortley; and the following incident might have
deprived the bar of England of Mr. Edwin James,
and laid low a future Solicitor-General—Chi lo sa ?
as the Neapolitaus say—for he had just raised his
foot off the step of his carriage, and was getting in,
when a ball carried off the step, doubtless quicken-
ing the learned gentleman's movements.

The appointment of Dumas has awakened so
much dissatisfaction that I am glad to say there is
every probability of his resignation. Felice Nicco-
lini, well known in the artistic world in Naples,
protested against it in the name of the people in a
letter which he wrote to the Dictator.

Another letter from Naples, dated Sept. 20, says

—I am sitting as it were in a vast theatre, wherein
so many scenes pass before me and so rapidly, that
I have scarcely time to note them. I have hardly
done applauding or blaming before another scene,
perfectly different from the last, presents itself, and
thus there is such a confusion of ideas introduced,

" Jessie White" went over in the afternoon to
assist in the hospital arrangements, and returned
in the evening of the following day. Her services
are so valuable in this department that we all re-
gret she does not confine herself to them.
In Naples there are about 1,000 invalids, many
with fever ; and I have heard great complaints
made of the military arrangements for the recep-
tion of volunteers in the barracks, which are re-
presented as being filthy in the extreme. As there
is no central hospital at present in the capital, the
invalids are distributed about in the Sacremento,
Ss. Apostoli, and the Trinita ; and if sacred names
can cure them, they may be pronounced convales-
cent shortly.

that anything like unity in my letter is out of the
question. Garibaldi left here on the night of Sun-
day or early on Monday morning, spent six hours
only in Palermo, was in Naples on Tuesday at 3
p.m., and at Caserta at the head of his troops on
Wednesday, at 6 a.m. He found the means of re-
conciling the Palermitans to his wishes, which are
opposed to immediate annexation, and by that
wonderful power which he possesses over the will
and the affections, moulded them to his will.
Mario was despatched to the Military College,
which is one of the projects of the Dictator, and
here, having selected 220 of the young students,
ranging from 13 to 17 years of age, he led them
up to the palace—" I have brought you my regi-
ment, general," said Mario, and the Dictator,
leaving ministers and others assembled there,
went down to receive them. On Wednesday
morning the youthful battalion arrived in Na-
, pies, and disembarking amidst great enthusi-
asm were conducted to the palace of Capo di
Monte, which was the habitation of all the
Royal family last year. Many of the youth
of Naples, inspired by the sight, expressed their
desire to be formed into a separate battalion ;
but the work of recruiting does not progress
in the capital as it has done in the provinces.
There was work to be done at the council board
when the Dictator arrived on Tuesday, and no
time was lost. Before leaving for Palermo he
wrote a decree, limiting the powers of the Pro-
Dictator, as follows :—" The Dictator reserves to
himself the supreme direction of political and mili-
tary affairs, and the sanctioning of legislative acts.
Ile reserves to himself, therefore, the nomination
of ministers and foreign envoys, of secretaries and
councillors of state, of the judge of the apostolic
legation of Sicily, of ministers, of directors of the
ministries, of the governors, of the prefect of police,
and of the questors of public security in Sicily, of
the superior and general officers." This decree
was distasteful to Sirtori, who did not publish it,
and to the ministers, who protested, but Garibaldi
ordered its immediate publication on his return,
and it appeared in the journal the same evening.
The consequence is, I believe, that Ministersblicsrvins
resign. My own opinion is that the

terest to be omitted.

SEPT. 21.—A number of conflicting statements
are going about with regard to the brush at Capua,
but I leave it to your army correspondent to recon-
cile all. Garibaldi left early yesterday morning
for Santa Maria, returning at midday. A letter
from Victor Emmanuel had been brought the night
before by Signor Vimercati, one of his Majesty's
aides-de-camp, and this had to be answered ; as yet
the contents have not transpired. About a week
since the Marchese Trecchi left with a letter from
Garibaldi to the King urging him to dismiss Count
Cavour and his colleagues. The Marchese is ex-
pected back hourly.
I invite your attention to two decrees which
were published yesterday, appropriating
5,000
ducats to the continuance of the excavations in
Pompeii ; appointing a commission of advocates
and magistrates to report on the sanitary and gene-
ral state of the prisons with a view to introduce h
penitential system. But why is no medical man on

is that of Baron Brenier, the Minister of the Em-
peror of the French, on board the Algesiras, a 90
gunship, for Toulon. The French arms were not
taken down before yesterday morning, though the
Baron had d

by the new Minister of Police, Signor Conforti, and
transferred to the general treasury. It is formed of
184,608 ducats of rentes, which were entered in the
Gran Libro in the name of Gaetano Rispoli, but
which were formed of the accumulations of the
Bourbons at the expense of the people. Another
sum, also, of 317,186 ducats of rentes, belonging to
the various members of the Royal family, has been
treated in the same way. The municipality have
ordered to-day that committees should be formed
for the preparation of bandages and lint, and the
ladies and priests of Naples are called upon to be in
readiness to assist. The bombardment of Capua i 5

and his colleagues were removed

There is a report that Dumas has "
given up his
appointment ; it has created much censure and dis-
content ; and two hours after it was gazetted Felice
Nicolini, well known in the artist world of
Naples, Protested against it in a letter to the
I)ictgor.

On the Ist May the house of Matilda Rossi, of
Rocco.bascerana, was attacked, her husband killed,
and she herself carried off by a galley slave, who
had escaped, with whom she had lived in a state of
forced concubinage ever since in the mountains.
Matilda swore to avenge her husband, and on the
28th July, Majo hating sent out his band on some
expedition, she remained behind on the plea of ill-
ness. Rising early on the following morning, she
took a gun, shot her paramour, and then presented
herself to the authorities of Avellino, who con-
signed her to the prison of Santa Maria. There
Garibaldi found her, and ordered her to be set at
liberty, and thanked in the name of public mora-

lity. Soon after a young woman, tall, of rather a
severe bearing, with dark hair and eyes, presented
herself to the Dictator and his staff in the railway
station at Caserta. It was Matilda Rossi, and the
Dictator, taking her with him in his carriage, made
her sit by his side as far as Cancelli.
Yesterday morning the indefatigable Dictator
left Naples with his staff for Caserta; and as le
ordered his horses to bo sent after him, the imPres-
sion was that he would not return. During the
day there was a stray sortie from CaPua, but one
of your correspondents on the spot will give you
the where
