AFFAIRS OF NAPLES'.

A letter from Naples, dated Sept. 20, says:

How am I to begin my letter ? IV hat events am
I to coiyanunicate first ? As a correspondent I
would say there is an einbarras de riehessts, but it
is my cmharras which confuses, and yet a beginning
must be made. So here for a plunge in :nedias res.
Garibaldi is the hero of the day and of every one in
Naples; his movements this week have been mar-
vellous. As you already know, he left Naples on
Sunday night, or rather early on Monday morning.
spent six hours only in Palermo, conciliated the
wavering, silenced opponents by intimating his
willingness to accept their resignations, and was back
again in Naples on Tuesday at 3 o'clock. Melon ghini,
a decided Republican, was appointed Pro-Dictator
until Saffi arrives, and political matters remain in
Sicily with the understanding that no annexation is
to take place until Victor Emmanuel be proclaimed
King of Italy from the heights of the Quirinal.
There is an interesting episode, however—some will
call it painful—connected with this visit, which
must not be -Omitted. As soon as the Dictator
arrived in Palermo he gave orders to Mario to visit
and report on the state of the Military College, for
I must tell you that this is .a pet inqtitution of
Garibaldi's. Mario selected 220 of the young stu-
dents ranging from 13 ta- 17 years of age, and,
marching them up to the palace, announced that
he had brought " his regiment." The Dictator
immediately left the Ministry, and all others who
had met together with him on business, and, going

down) received the youthful heroes with as much
warmth as pleasure. They were immediately put
on board, and on Wednesday morning they arrived
at Naples, where their appearance excited a wonder-
ful enthusiasm among the "gamins" of that lasciar

fare capital, who expressed a desire also to be en-
listed and to form a separate battalion. There is a
very handsome palace near the city, well known as
that of Capodimonte, and where Francis 11. and the
Royal family were residing last year, the " Pic-
ciotti" of Palermo are residing now. They only
wait for their arms, and then they are to be pushed
OR to the frontier, in all probability to die for their
country.
On arriving here there was a great accumulation
of civil business awaiting the Dictator. A decree
was signed for-the improvement and embellishment
of the city, and plans which were approved in 1836
will now probably be carried into execution. B y
another decree the powers of the governors of pro-
vinces were defined. They have authority to put
any place in a state of siege, to mobilise the Na-

tional Guard and the Volunteers, to enrol others,
and call the citizens to arms ; and these exorbitant
powers they may delegate to persons of their own
selection. The National Guard of Naples also is
increased to 21,000 men; but the decree which made

the greatest sensation is that by which the Dicta-
tor reserves to himself the nomination of Ministers
and foreign Envoys, of Secretaries and Councillors
of State, of the Judge of the Apostolic Legation,
of the Directors of the Ministries, of the Gover-
nors, of the Prefect of Police, and the question of
public security in Sicily. There is a history at-
taching to this decree which I must give you.
When Garibaldi left for Palermo he gave orders
for its publication, but Sirtori, the Pro-Dictator,
not altogether liking it, suppressed it. Ministers
protested, and it is supposed will be shortly out of
power. On his return, then, the Dictator, irri-
tated at the opposition with which he had met,
issued orders for its immediate appearance, and so

the decree, limiting the powers of the Pro-Dictator,
saw the light on the evening after Garibaldi's ar-

rival.

Following'close upon these decrees is a statement,
or a story wearing the appearance of a romance of

the middle ages, which I will give you, as well for
its own interest as for its being connected with the
great man who now commands our attention. "On
the Ist of May last," says the Official Journal,—

"A galley slave called Mayo, who had escaped from the
Bagni, broke into the house of Matilda Ros si, of Racca-
bascerana, killed her husband and carried her off to the
mountains. There she was compelled to live a dishonoured

life with him until the 28th of July, when, the band having
been sent on some marauding expedition, Rossi feigned
illness and determined to execute her vow of vengeance.
Mayo remained with her, to watch the invalid or the sus-
pected enemy. On the following morning she rose early,
procured a gun, and shot the villain, and then, making her
way to Avellino, presented herself to the authorities. By
these wiseacres she was kept in the prison of Santa Maria
until the Dictator visited the place, and the facts having
been reported, he ordered, Let her be liberated, and thanked
in the name of public morality.' it was some time after
that a woman, with dark hair and eyes, and of a severe
style of beauty, presented herself to the Dictator as he was
waiting in the station-room of the Caserta Railway. It was
Matilda Rossi, and Garibaldi, placing her by his side in
the railway carriage, took her with him as far as Cancello."

The mediaeval character of the story can be my
only excuse for introducing it among decrees and
other serious affairs. On the day after his arrival
from Palermo, Garibaldi was at Caserta and Santa
Maria, directing a reconnaissance and a feigned at-
tack, which was a disastrous affair, upwards of 100
having been wounded and several killed. All the
English amateurs ran up, and we hear, of course, of
hair-breadth escapes and other marvels which will
furnish the staple of many an after-dinner story in
England. Ye belles of England, prepare to resist
these touching narratives. A great loss had nearly
occurred in the person of a distinguished barrister,
the step of whose carriage was taken off by a ball
as he drew in his last foot. Two other English-
men were standing behind a tree when a spent ball
struck the other side, and glanced off. Then some
were covered with dust from balls ploughing up
the ground close by them. Such incidents always
happen, so let us leave the red jackets. There
was at one time a great panic, and a flight to
Santa Maria, whore for a moment tricoloured
flags were taken down, every door shut up, and the
military chest was put in a railway carriage to be
taken off to Naples. The feigned attack was ill
conducted, and prolonged too much, but it was a
great trial of courage for young troops to be exposed
to a fire from the walls without seeing the enemy
for four hours, and the men stood well. Worthy
to be named, as they have been named in the orders
of the day, are Mr. Jarvis, Colonel Pearcl, Colonel
Baker, of the Guards, Major Wortley, and others,
who were there, and lent their effectual aid to check

the panic. But lam subjecting myself to all the
penalties of the Poaching Act, and refer you there-
fore at once for details to your able correspondent
in the field.

About 40 of the wounded are to be conveyed to
the Caserta Hospital. Here in Naples we have no
central hospital, and the sick, of whom there are
about 1,000, are distributed among the hospitals of
the Trinity, Sacramento, and S. Apostoli. Much
of the sickness, which, I regret to say, is fever, has
been induced by the provincials on their arrival in
Naples having been strawed down in filthy bar-
racks. These things should be looked to, for they
imply some gross negligence in the military Inspec-
tion department. While fighting is still going on
in Capua a number of spectacles are exhibited in
Naples, the least of which in ordinary times would
make the fortune of a correspondent. First come
the Volunteers of Potenza, good men and true, who
are here to offer their services for the redemption of
beloved Italy. They are dressed as civilians, ex-
cept the officers, and these wear the peaked hat of
Calabria and the Phrygian cap, and that other
little ugly cap with a peak in front, which is now
unfortunately assumed to be the height of fashion
among all the Johnny Raws of the kingdom. There
are priests and monks by the hundred in the
crowds, and crucifixes and tricoloured banners
fraternise.

The first visit, of course, is to the palace of Gari-
baldi, in the Toledo, though he Was at Cepa An-
tica ; but they have sebn where he lives, and they
file off contentedly amidst the• " Vivas" of a vast
multitude of persons. No sooner has this scene
wood way than the theatre of radre gAYAZZi

opens. Down we run through the Toledo, lest the
best places may have been taken. Padre Gavazzi is
mounting his stage, and a vast audience greet him.
The miracle of San Gennaro had been wrought in
the morning, as he predicted it would be, but the
Padre is generous--does not touch much on the
subject, and very prudently, I think, though
he does give the saint a slight hit with his
Toledo when he says that there are various
modes of attaining the honours of martyrdom, and
one mode is that of fighting and suffering for one's
country. " There is a report," said he, " that
Garabaldi is going to establish a republic. No
such thing; he is true to Victor Emmanuel. Would
you like to be Republicans ? (Cries of No, no !')
Will you have Victor Emmanuel for King ? (' Yes,
yes !') I shall send you this, as all the other ser-
mons of the preacher, as soon as they are published ;
but it takes a week to produce one here. A col-
league of Gavazzi, with a weak voice, was ad-
dressing another crowd in Santa Lucia, but it was
enough that he had a red shirt, and was backed by
three or four tricoloured flags, to elicit a thousand
vivas from a mob who did not hear, and would not

*have understood the orator if they had heard him.
Then, the Santa Luciani Legitimists were brought
up to fraternize with Gavazzi and the crowd, and
wipe off their political sins, but the " move " did
not succeed, and, rather disgusted and mortified,
they turned back to their oyster-stalls. No sooner
had they returned than cafes were lit up and filled,
and those eternal gossips who can do nothing else
but talk are swelling out in all their vast chatter-
box proportions, and are reporting the capture, or,
at least, the capitulation, of Capua. I met, as I
went ont of one of these great canard preserves
five poor Milanese. They told me they had been
sent back wounded; one in the arm, which was in
a sling; another in the foot, another in the thigh,
and so on. A crowd of the curious got round them
and asked all the details, but their sympathy went
no further.

So ends my daily report. Mazzini has had an
interview with Garibaldi, and has been well re-

ceived,

In my wanderings I met with many persons, and
glean opinions as well as facts. " Garibaldi has
been to Palermo," says a Sicilian nobleman with
whom I dined, " and he thinks that the Sicilian
aristocracy will be contented to submit to an ad-
vocate; as if we have sacrificed our blood and our
money for this. We have been fighting to drive
away the Bourbons, and for our independence. You
will see great changes and great confusion. Then
if Palermo and Messina are opposed to one another,

how will it be possible to produce an union of all
Italy.. It is a dream, sir, but the stiletto pre-
vents all liberty of speech now." I met soon after
with another man of high character and educa-
tion a Neapolitan just returned from exile. "We
will complain loudly," he says, " to Garibaldi that we
are not a conquered people. His progress through
the country has been a triumphal march, and the
Calabrese have done everything on the continent.
We have governors of provinces now with unlimited
power, and the country, instead of being united, is
split up into so many proconsulates. And then the
kind of men ! There is aDe Cesario appointed go-
vernor of Aquila (now of Chieta), a man who in print
has recommended the most violent measures; and
Matteri, governor of Potenza, in the Basilicata, who
has brought the country almost into a state of coun-
ter-revolution. If care is not taken we shall have a
cry raised for Francis II." " Caro tido!" Says a
third" I have just come up from the provinces, and
Heaven knows how I have arrived in safety. I tra-
velled with my revolver on my knee, passed some-
times by Reactionist and sometimes by Liberal
pickets. There is no law or government. All is
confusion. Assassinations are committed with im-
punity, and if regular troops are not sent into the
country districts we shall have confusion worse con-
founded." I give you :the opinions of others, but
offer none myself, except it be that a regular,
settled Government is necessary, and that imme-
diately for the salvation of society, and that—though
I never abandon my principles, which I believe will
ultimately triumph—the only mode of restoring
order at present is to put the country under the pro-
tectorate of Piedmont, and the sooner the better.

SEPTEMBER 21.
The topic of the day is the fight of yesterday
near Capua. Garibaldi left early yesterday morn-
ing, but returned at midday, and replied to a letter
which an Aide-de-Camp of Victor Emmanuel, called
Viniercati, brought yesterday. I , have not had a
peep at it yet. The Marchese Trechi is expected
immediately with an answer to a letter of the Dic-
tator, despatched a few days since to the King of
Sardinia, urging the dismissal of Cavour and his col-
leagues. In the morning two proclamations were
placarded on the walls, which, as they indicate the
policy of Garibaldi, I translate and send to you

" PROCLAMATION TO THE VOLUNTEERS.
"When in Italy the idea of the country was the idea of
the few wo conspired and we died ; now we fight and we
conquer. The patriots are sufficiently numerous to fot m
armies and fight the enemy. But our victory has not been
complete, Italy is not yet all free, and wo are yet far from
the Alps, our glorious goal. The most precious result of
these our first successes is that of being able to arm our.
selves and to advance. I have found you ready to follow
me, now I call you all to my side; hasten to the general
assembly of this army, which must be an armed nation to
make Italy free and one, whether it pleases or not the all-
powerful of the earth.

"Assemble in the squares of your oities, organising your-
selves according to the popular instinct of war, which will
enable you to attack the enemy in an united body. The
chiefs of the corps thus formed will apprise beforehand the
Director of the War-office in Naples of their approach, so
that everything necessary may be ready.
"As to those corps that can come more conveniently by
sea, proper orders- will be given.
"Italians, the moment is come I Our brothers are
already fighting the stranger in the heart of Italy.
" Let us go and meet them in Rome, and thence march
on together towards the Venetian land.

"All that is our duty and right we can do if strong.
" Arms, then, and armed men 1 Generous heart, steol,
and liberty 1

" Tho Dictator, G. GARIBALDI.
"Naples, Sept. D.",

"Noble Citizens,—The present war, made solely by the
arms of the people, is the only national one that can give us
a country. Our battles are so many stations of our march
to the Alps, on the summit of which we will only halt.
Well you feel it, 0 noble Venetians, who here propose col.
letting means for the war, and who publish in a journal
Galled 11 Corriere di Venezia such a proclamation as will
call entire Italy to fight on the Venetian lands. I praise
you for this patriotic intention, and incite you in the work
which will complete and hasten the victory of all.
" I authorise you, then, in writing, as I did yesterday by
word of mouth, to form a' Patriotic Venetian Commission,'
for the object,f collecting aid of all sorts in this meridional
part of Italy for the advantage of the insurrectional war
that we are making for the common liberty. I need not
control your enterprise by sending persons in my confi •
dente to direct you ; such persons you have, and worthy
both of the undertaking and of the illustrious name you
have placed at your head.
" You will find here, for certain, a fellow-feeling,
equal to
yours.
"The Dictator, G. GARIBALDI.

"Naples, Sept. 19."

Decrees set aside 5,000 ducats for the excava-
tions of Pompeii, appoint a commission of advocates
(not one medical man) for the improvement of the
sanitary condition of the prisons, and abolish cer-
tain privileges accorded to the citizens of Pizzo in
1815. Nothing is done at Capua to-day, but pon-
toons are sent over to throw a bridge across the
Volturno ; also a number of pieces of artillery, and
400 carriages, for the service of the army. We shall
hear of something decisive, therefore, -morrow. I
shall mention here, lest I might forget it,thengartemialeet
of Alfiere Ferrara, a Neapolitan, who gained
distinction and a majority for having stood
by
only two guns and served them almost alone.

SEPT. 22.
Baron Brenier, Minister of the Imperial Court of
France, left yesterday afternoon by the Algesiras, a
90-gun ship, for Toulon. His arms were taken
down on Thursday morning. All the personnel of
