NAPLES.

The following is a note which Count d'Aquila
dictated to his former preceptor, General Palumbo,
when the latter brought him the order to imme-
diately leave the kingdom of Naples:— .

"I have received a sealed letter and a communica-
tion from the Ministry. By the latter a mission
is given to me, which from the explanations of
General Palumbo is nothing less than to make me
execute, as of my own free will, the order of the
Council of Ministers, to leave. This, indeed, is
what has been admitted by the general charged
with the message. I take advantage therefore of
the Archimede to tow my schooner, and I will em-
bark in the latter this very evening. If afterwards
the sealed letter in question be opened in presence
of the captain, I give my word of honour—and, to
a man who entertains my sentiments and views,
this promise is above all human things—l give
my word of honour, I say, that in the night, and
without creating any obstacle, I will leave by
Marseilles as General Palumbo has requested, and
will at once hasten my preparations for departure.
If I feel afflicted at such a measure, it is solely be-
cause, always consistent in my words and acts, I
love my country more than my life, and
it is painful to me to separate from her. I.
submit to the removal which is imposed on
me, and express wishes that it may not be
prejudicial to the country. I would only
have requested, if time had been allowed
me, to be permitted to carry away what is dearest
to me—tae mortal remains of my daughter—but in
the precipitation with with my departure has been
insisted on, I can only leave them as the most sacred
pledge of my devotedness to the country, with the

hope that I may be permitted to receive them. here-
After ; for to have them near me would be the sole
consolation of my exile. I pray his Majesty to ac-
cord me two lines written by his hand—at least an
adieu, in exchange for all the affection I have shown
him. I declare, besides, that my wife and my sons
shall leave in the Brazilian corvette. May Heaven
render the King happy, protect my dear country,
save it from the calamities which seemed to impend
and watch over the navy from which I separate
with deep regret. Never will I forget that this
corps is the one with which from my infancy all
my sentiments have been bound up, and with which
I have shared all my trouble.—Naples, 13th."
The Prince having rapidly terminated his prepara-
tions for departure, went with his family 'on board
the schooner Menai, purchased for him in England,
and on board he wrote the following letter to the
King:—
"Your Majesty,—Gen. Palumbo, in communicat-
ing the ministerial order to go on board a steamer,
and in presenting my passport declared to me, in
name of the President of the Council, the real motive
of the measure. It was, he said, because everybody
is ill-disposed to me, and that I ought, in con-
quence to endeavour, with the greatest soli-
citude, to save the country from a con-
flagration, and, at the same time, to preserve
my life, which was no longer in safety, for my
enemies would rise in a body against me, and I
should find myself in great peril. Your Majesty
therefore sees that the mission which is given to
me in the letter referred to is far from being serious
—that it is false in reality, and that consequently, I
as a man of honour, as a true constitutional and
Italian citizen, I cannot abstain from protesting.
However, I do so only after having obeyed the order
to embark, which I have done at this moment, an
hour after midnight. Ido not make this protest in
order not to leave ; on the contrary, I quit Naples
as soon as the papers necessary for the purpose can
be put in order. I only wish to say to your Ma-
jesty that my Italian and constitutional principles
merited another recompense, and that the black
calumny of which I am the object weighs heavily
on a heart which feels itself quite different from the
unworthy description given of it. I have also
another motive not less important for writing to
your Majesty—it is that you did not deign to ad-
mit me to your presence when I had not only to
tell you these things, but to express my immense
affection, of which your Majesty has had many
proofs. I may, however, be permitted to write these
lines to affirm my innocence, and to protest, in face
of your Majesty, of the nation, and of the whole
world, that I have not deserved the punishment in-
flicted on me, and that I had a right to hope for
very different treatment. I hand this letter to
General Palumbo. He also can tell your Ma-
jesty the sentiments which bound me to you, to
the country, and to Italy. I am, etc.,

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales landed
from the Hero at Charlottetown, Prince Edward's
Island, on Thursday the 10th inst. He was accom-
panied to the island by the ship Nile, and the
Ariadne, Cossack, Valorous, and Flying Fish, as
well as by the French commodore's ship Pomene.
The day was stormy and wet, but he was neverthe-
less received by a great multitude of people, many
of whom were from distant parts, and had to
• camp out for lack of accommodation. The arrange-
ments for the reception were good. The Prince
landed under eight Royal salutes from the ships
and battery. He was received on Queen's-wharf
by the officers of the Government, members of the
public bodies, the clergy and the bar,- and deputa-
tions of prominent citizens. He was conveyed in
the Governor's carriage, and accompanied by a
procession along the streets, which were lined by
the volunteers' battalion. Numerous tasteful
arches were erected, and the enthusiasm was very
warm. The reception was considered a complete
success. Lord Mulgrave accompanied' the Prince
from Nova Scotia, as did also a guard of honour of
regular troops.
President Buchanan, accompanied by Miss Lane,
Secretary Toncey, and a large party of ladies and
gentlemen, visited the Great Eastern, in Annapolis

with a salute both on his arrival and departure, and
expressed himself much gratified with a two hours'
inspection of the Mammoth vessel. The ship left
the Chesapeake on her return to New York, on the
evening of the 10th, and the 16th was still named
as the day of her departure for England.
The New York Herald says the census returns
were rapidly pouring into Washington, and they
were expected to be completed by the Ist of Sep-
tember. It was confidently assumed that the total
population of the Union will not fall short of
32,000,000, being an increase of nearly one-third
upon the census returns of 1850.
The American Scientific Association, which had
been in session at Newport for a fortnight, had
adjourned sine die.

• The Pennsylvania Democratic State Convention
had agreed to form a presidential electoral ticket,
headed with the names of the rival democratic can-
didates—Breckinridge and Douglass—as the elec-
tors of the State at large, and that in the event of
the success of the said ticket, the vote of the State
shall be cast accordingly as the result shall show
which of the two tickets shall have received a ma-
jority of the votes cast for both.

THE RED SEA TELEGRAPH.—It appears that
Messrs. Newall and Co , the contractors for the Red Sea
Telegraph, have commenced a suit against the company,
claiming, on the ground that the contract had been per-
formed, the percentage claimed during the progress of the
work, and also a certain amount for repairs subsequently
executed. The company deny the completion, and would,
it is presumed, have themselves taken proceedings against
Messrs. Newall if Messrs. Newall had not been the first to
move. Meanwhile, the company have received a state•
ment from their marine superintendent, encouraging a
belief that the faults in the line may yet admit of repair. It
has been represented that they hav a sufficient capital left
to meet the expense, but the original £BOO,OOO has been
almost or entirely used. The funds now available consist
of an extra £200,000 on which the Government granted
their guarantee to meet the cost of the shipping required
for the undertaking.
