but it never comes off, so that I suppose it i---
garded as a desperate case.
There is a rumour that Government yesteru
received information of another disembarcation, at
Vasto, of a considerable body of men. Certain is
it that all the night police have been laying their
hands on all the means of transport they could find,
and that the colonna mobile ordered for Puglia,
and Calabria has been stopped. The column con-
sists of the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th ChasseurS,
a' battalion of the Rifles of the Guard, the 2d Regi-
ment of the Grenadiers of the Guard, several squa-
drons of Dragoons and Hussars, and various sections
or artillery. The expedition is cownanded by
General Nunziante, with Colonel Barbalunga and
Major Bose°, It is said, too, that the Count of
Trani will leave with this expedition.
Maria Christina, the Queen-Mother of Spain, is
expected here immediately, and official orders have
been given for her reception. Since beginning this
letter I have ascertained that Barbieri and Cala-
fani, of whom I have spoken, are in the prison of
Santa Maria Apparente, the reservoir of those
whom the police persecute without trial. The latter
has had permission to see his friends.
I make no apology for calling your attention,
amid the stirring incidents which are taking place
around us, to a very affecting case which has
awakened, the sympathy of the whole of our little
eommunity.
Louis Barbar, whose name was so honourably
connected with the Cagliari case, and who so reso-
lutely and successfully defended the rights of two
British subjects, Watt and Parks, died last Thurs-
day. Closely associated as I was with him through-
out that case, I only did my duty in bringing his
Many merits before the public; and, now that he
ys dead, the only offering I can make to the memory
of an honest man and a faithful public servant, is to
make an appeal to the British public, or, let me say
to the British Government, on behalf of his bereaved
and almost destitute family. To his honour, be it
said, Mr. Barbar made his own position in the
world. He was the British Vice-Consul at Naples
when Mr. Gladstone collected materials for his cele-
brated letters, and it was in consequence of the
kind intervention of the present Chancellor of the
Exchequer that his wretched salary was raised to
its still very inadequate amount. Oa the with-
drawal of the British and French Legations in the
autumn of 1856, and the illness of the late Consul,
Captain Galloway, Mr. Barbar was appointed act-
ing Consul, and' remained in that office until Feb.,
1859. The services which he rendered to the vie-
' tins of Neapolitan despotism were acknowledged
by the British
.public ; most gracefully so by his,
Majesty Victor Emmanuel; and by the British
Government in his appointment to the Consulate of
Candia, which he entered on in February, 1859.
As there were no opportunities for the educatiOn of
a young family he left theni behind him in Naples,
and about- two months since returned on leave of
absence; but, as it was so ordained, only to em-
brace them and to die. A fever, contracted at the
Scene' of his daties, and never effectually cured,
again burst out on his arrival here, and carried him
off last Thursday. He leaves a wife and yeung•
family totally unprovided for, but, thoughahe Con-
SUlar regulations make no provision for tWa case,
it is earnestly hoped that the British Government,
which so honourably appreciated his services, will
not leave destitute the widow and children of an
energetic and faithful public servant.
.The Donauwerth, with .the flag of: Admiral
Jellenne, is now leaving for Palermo.
JUNE 14.
'A -slow ship is• leaving to day, touching at every
port, but as it will anticipate the post of Saturday,
by one day I hasten to apprise you that the Moun-
tain has brought forth twins in the form of succes-
sors to D. Luigi Ajossa, late-Director of Police and
9f; Public Wprks. The Due di San Vito, a general
an the army, takes the first office as Minister Secre-
tary of State for the General Police—a title, by the
-by, which has not been given to that official since
the time of Delcarretto, now thirteen years ago ;
the second division of the spoil is given to Signor
Rosica, Director of the Interior, so that Ajossa, the
largest, if not the greatest, man in the country, has
shrunk into very diminutive proportions. The de-
Cree says, however, "lie is destined by us for other
funciions." The man who has been arresting and
exiling for the last year is too valuable a man to be
set aside, and yet I have never knowii a change of
'names induce a change of system ; things have
always gene on, and will always go on, the same
way so long as the same principles of family and of
government are at the basis of all action. San Vito
is a galant'uonio, it is true; but feeble and a nullity ;
he will become a tool, and they are the men that
the Bourbons choose. Men of strong_ and inde-
pendent characters are never called upon to serve
this throne, and the Ministers now in power are so
many evidences-of the truth of this assertion.
The Caesar came in this morning from Castella-
mare and saluted the French and Russian Admirals,
who returned-the salutes; then there were salutes
exchanged with the Neapolitans, and a general lift-.
ing of hats has taken place all round, until our eyes
are dazzled and our ears are deafened. By the time
I despatch another letter we shall probably have the
Renown and the London, here, as they have already
left Malta for these waters. On their arrival we
shall have an aggregate British and French force of
nearly 8,000 men.. The French force consists of La
Bretagne, 1,200 men, Vice-Admiral Lebarbier de
Tinan ' • the Eylau, 960 men, Commander Simon
the Redoutable, 960 men, Commander Dayriac-; the'
Imperial, 960 men, Commander Lefevre; the Donau-
werth, 865 men, Rear-Admiral Jeheune. The Donau-
werth left yesterday for Palermo.
There has been a strong importation of the
Palermo police here, and as a consequence, those
Sicilians in Naples who cannot get away are well
watched. The Five per Cents, rose five points yes-
terday, in consequence of transactions on the Bourse
in connection with the Monte de Pieta.
Exchange on London, 600 ; Five per Cents., 109.
From information just received I can correct and
add to much which I have reported. The capture of
two vessels suspected of belonging to Garibaldi is
confirmed; 800 men were on board. They had been
purchased of Frassini and Co., at Marseilles, and
are said to have shipped also 15,000 muskets. The
details we do not know as yet, but the ships are
taken into Gaeta, and will raise a question for the
Sardinian and the United States' authorities, as they
are said to have been taken on the high sea, and to
have hoisted " the stars and stripes."
It is remarkable that the same officers who
assisted at the capture of the Cagliari effected the
capture of these vessels. It is a question felt to be
one of great embarrassment to this Government.
Another' curious and embarrassing question has
started up. A Modenese, long resident in Naples,
died here a few days since. According to the treaty
with Sardinia, the judicial authorities are bound to
inform the Sardinian Consul, and invite his pre-
sence, in case of the death of a Sardinian subject.
This formality was omitted, and the Austrian Con.
sul attended. The Sardinian Vice-Consul, Count di
San Martini, then demanded to be present at the
taking cff the seals, but was informed that he might
be so as a private gentleman, but not in his official
capacity. This was declined. The matter was re-
ferred to the Minister of Grace and Justice, and by
him to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but up to
the present time no answar has been returned. The
seals remain on, and the inheritance is in abeyance.
From official sources I can now inform you that
revolutionary movements broke out at Monteleone,
Cosenza, and Catanzaro last week. On Saturday
and Sunday troops were sent from Messina to Pizzo
to the number of 1,000 men, in two steamers. Most
have declared, however,,that they will not fight any
more against their brothers. Several officers told
me that they regarded the King'as lost, and that
the sooner this fratricidal war was over the better.
An English, French, and Austrian steamer were at.
Messina, where the exodus by sea and land con-
tinued. There was no real danger of a bombard-.
ment, however, as Garibaldi has ordered the squadre
not to advance on the city, it beingAis intention to
march on the Calabrias, and so up to: Naples.
Catania has been evacuated by the Royalists, and
the troops have entered Messina in a .miserable
condition. The government was carried on in the
former city in the name of Victor Emmanuel.

TURIN, JUNE 17.
The barometer of Italian patriotic expectation is
up at "very fine." Lord Palmerston's generous
words in answer to Mr. Sheridan, in the House of
Commons on Tuesday last, have gone the round of
all the Italian papers, and call forth blessings of
gratitude which no language of mine could convey.
The Commendatore de Martino is gone back to
Naples with a very long face, and it is confidently
asserted that the Emperor at Fontainebleau would
not hear one word of his errand, but cut him short
with a cold remark that " the Envoy must assuredly
have missed his way, as his business was with the
Court of Turin, and not with that of the Tuileries."
Private and public news from Cagliari has com.:.
pletely dissipated the anxiety caused by the Nea-
politan bulletin announcing the capture, on the
12th, of two steamers, laden with men, arms, and
ammunition. Medici and Malenchini were certainly'
off Cagliari on the 13th. People surmise that ,
Mazzini, who was reported to have left Leghorn

own style on the mainl,ahel: In `their pi:ess?nt buoyant
frame of mind people here feel sure both that, the
King of Naples can, offer no resistance, and that .no
finger will:boheld up to stay his downfall. I have -
pressed the hand of a great and, gond man here
this morning, and he told me, with that con-
fidence which arises from positive knowledge, that
" the Bourbon and his ' dynasty have passed
away." As he took leave of .the Neapolitan
General, Garibaldi assured him "he would
.never
rest till .he saw the Italian tricolour waving en.-
the bastion of Castel. St. Elmo— at Naples.,',.
Meanwhile the bewildered tyrant condenses his!,
forces- round the capital.; , but ,what avail such
forces ? Half of them are on their return froni Palermo, and they will inform, their comrades how _ -
it was that 28,009 of them preyed to be no match
for 900 Garibaldians, There Is.little doubt that the
King is leaning upon A broken. reed, and his troops
will most probably hide the disgrace of a defeat
under the pretence of a scarcely less ignominious
defection.
The Italians, in short, think:that they will be free
Napoleon,
to settle their own matters. The Emperor
Napoleon, it is said, has tranquillised the Pope's
fears by the offer of a new division to swell the gar-
rison at. Rome, should his Holiness' desire 'this ad-
ditional • means of security ; but he signified most
distinctly, it is added, that he would never allow a' -:-
French soldier to act beyond the walls of the Old
Papal metropolis. Beyond those walls, and even
within them, there is order and concord nowhere,
save only in the French barracks. The Palace, the
Treasury, and the War-office arc a Babel of mutual
misunderstanding, rancour, andalousy. The old
world is crumbling, inevitably ci%mbling, south of
the Ombrone and the. Rubicon. . 'What, edifice is
likely to rise on its ruins is the theme of buSy
Italian speculation. Palermo is hastily calling to-
gether a.Parliament ; it will proclaim the fleclieance
of the Bourbon dynasty'and the annexation of the
island to the Italian kihgdotn of Victor Emmanuel.
No doubt can be entertained about that. ;' nor *lll
Naples follow a different. course if the King awaits
the nerve-shattering notes of Garibaldi 's bugle.
Garibaldi is, most happily, the'man with the one
idea; and hiS followers, no inatter•of what school
or ,party„
,all obey, the wonder-wOrking instinct
Of Italian unification: -ShOuld*Napr& fall' in Con'-- •
sequence of a military promuniamento, or a Liz-
pren-i-riot,-an attempt might be .made to set up a
separate Government, either under. some member'
Of the old, or some candidate of a new dynasty. ,
Such' a movement, however; might be forced upon
Naple; 'it Would ,not spring spontaneously from
any pdp4r jimpulse. I read in a letter, though *l'
Scarcely believe it, that the Count Of Syrticuse•has
• been heard at a patriotic banquet- ,setting up the
cry of "Viva Vittorio _Enzamiele.!" ',That would be a ,
mere feather, showing which way the wind*blows.
-Wherever any part of Italy shakesoftthe yoke that -
cry, since January, 1859, has risen irresistibly from
every. mans; lips, • .Within a fortnight it .would not be
rash to anticipate that the whole of the Two Sieilieti;
and as much of the Roman States as lies beyond
Vonta.Molle and the-Alban .bills, - will await the
word of fate from the lips of King Victor Emma- '
nuel's adviSeraand the councilS Of European diplo-
macy. _

Oh the other -hand=itiii always. the notions of
hopeful Italian patriots that lain endeavouring to
unfold—there is no doubt that the most perfect un-
derstanding exists, between "Count "Cavour and the
EMperor Napoleon. The sacrifice of savoy and Nicp
has completelywon over the Fmuc,h,Nonarch to the
`ltalian cause. He repudiates his own'views on the-
subject,' acid suffer the Italian' people to
up such a buoitO .stato' as -suitEttheir,,own incline
tion. He will certainly "not he the Bourbon ;he
will so far the'Y'reheli'letAT as to leep uji
that-poor ghost of a Pope in theNatican. Further
than fiat he will not push his interference ; he
Nvill not dictate ;--- -he -wilt- ! not even ad-
•vise. His mind is full of other schemes -
his vast ambition has a, far higher aim. lie'
wants the co-operation-of Italy, and-must allowirtr •
th organise herself in that manner which will ren-
der her aid most efficient. Count Cavour opens a
Ipan 150,000,000 f. He is straining every nerve
to bring the sinews of the State into his own hands.
Parliament voted the loan most cheerfully, Cavour
tells the representatives of the nation that "to
make Italy" they must be willing "to pay, and
pay a great deal." The people undo their purse-
strings and ask no question. Surely never did a
statesman enjoy his country's confidence to so great
an extent ; no statesmen, by every man's confession,
more fully deserved it. Party intrigue, personal
antipathy, even patriotic sentiment, everything
that may be resorted to in the way of opposition,
founders against the massive brain of the born
ruler. He is not merely a great, but what is more
important, an unfailingly fortunate man. Like
Garibaldi, whom in all other respect he so little re-
sembles,he drags success alongwith him, chained to
his chariot. Well, this man, with the unwearied
energy, and the insolent luck, is now, people think,
hatching some great plot ; he is working hand in
hand with the unfathomable man who is at this
moment doing duty as his own diplomatist at Baden-
Baden. Cavour and Napoleon, when they worked
together, the Italians say, have led us to Milan,
Boogna, and Florence—where to next ?
I have to acknowledge the receipt of £2 for the
Garibaldi fund, from a lady in Eaton-place,Belgrave-
square, London.
