NEAPOLITAN VPRSION OF THE

The Naples correspondent of the Presse commu-
3icates the following as Colonel Bosco's report of
;he battle of Melazzo:—

The combat sustained at this date by the brave
soldiers of the battalions of Chasseurs (lst, Bth,
and 9th), the courage and calmness with which
they sustained, for eight hours and a half, a fire
from a quintuple force, is certainly worthy of
honourable mention in the history of the Neapoli-

tan army.
It was before daybreak that the commander of
the column mounted his horse, and, putting the
disposable forces under arms led them on to rein-
force the positions already occupied. Most certain
information had been received that an attack would
have to be sustained on that day.
About five a.m., from the telegraph situated in
the fort we discovered very numerous masses de-
seending from Miri towards the village of San
Pietro. Informed of the fact, Colonel del Bosco
ordered. out the artillery, which, in pursuance of
previous orders, was at the Messina gate; and a
part of the guns to be planted on the shore in the
direction of the San Giovanni post, en echelon with
the other battery placed in the Unnazzo-house.
This section of ordnance was guarded by a com-
pany of chasseurs, with a view to protect the other,
in case the enemy should desire to dislodge our
right wing.
Another section of artillery was placed upon the
bridge further back than the Grottoes, so as to sweep
the road from Miri to St. Peter •, and, lastly, the
fourth section of artillery formed an integral part
of the advanced poste along the circular way, serv-
ing as a support to the post at the Mills. These
'dispositions had been taken before it was perceived
that the enemy could come upon us by five routes
leading to Melazzo from Barcellona and Santa
Lucia. The'first of them runs along the shore ;
the second lies within the gardens and ends at the
Unnazzo-house, the Leonati crossing, and the San
Pepino-broadway ; the third goes along :the.Fiu-
mara (a course hollowed out by the action of the
waters), which enters the village of St. Peter, and
issues as an enclosed path behind the Grottoes ;
the fourth is along the consular way of Melazzo ;
and the fifth by the strand on the eastern side,
leading to the Mills.
The advanced posts along the cape as far as the
Lanthorn amounted to 450 men, who were to pre-
vent any landing behind the positions facing Bar-
cellona.

Precisely at 6 o'clock we were attacked, and
without the slightest provocation on our part, at
the centre of our line, that is to say, at the post
facing the St. Peter's-road.
Shortly after' the enemy presented himself along
the whole line, from one shore to the other of the
sea.

behind the whole of his force. They informed him
at the same' time that if he opposed such a propo-
sition, Del Bosco would be blown up with all the
garrison of the fort before 48 hours.
Without hesitation Del Bosco replied that he
preferred being blown up alone, seating himself
over the mine, to accepting thedegradiug condi-
tions; and that he would leave history to judge who
was the bravest or more generou, the victor or the
vanquished ; this latter was then in the fort, because
he had been repulsed by a force five times stronger
than his own.

The capitulation was made next day, the 24th,
by Colonel Ansam, of. the staff, sent from Naples for
this purpose, with four frigates to negotiate the
'departure of the garrison. Colonel del Bosco was
accordingly obliged to submit to what had been,
notwithstanding, his wish, arranged in virtue
of superior order. And Garibaldi, although
he had agreed that the garrison should leave with the
honours of war, demanded basely, and obtained as
an express condition, that the two horses should be
left to him, although they were Colonel Del Bosco's
exclusive property.
Such proceedings show the gravity of the danger
into which Garibaldi and his partisans were
brought by a handful of brave Neapolitans. Until
11 o'clock before noon the advantage of the day was
with the small number of resolute men that were
defending Melazzo.
These details are submitted to his Excellency the
Minister of War, by the Brigadier Del Bosco, who
passes over in silence many feats of gallantry and
acts of generosity that shall be recorded later in the
list of those who distinguished themselves.
(Signed) • The Colonel-Commandant DEL Bosco.

NAVAL PROMO! lONS OF LA S2' WEEK.

A " Civilian " in a letter to a contemporary says:
—An unusual opportunity has just presented itself
to the First Lord of the Admiralty to do justice to
the claims of', among others, about 20 of the Lieu-
tenants on the active list of the navy most deserving
of advancement, and my; object in addressing this
letter to you and asking the favour of its insertion
in an early number of your paper is to draw atten-
tion to the manner in which the work of selection,
an impartial performance of which is so important
to the maintenance of the interests of the service,
has been performed, and I hope that the publica-
tion of this communication will be the means of
causing some independent member of each branch
of the Legislature to require from the representa-
tives of the Government explanations of the reason
that the opportunity has been abused, by the pro-
motion of a number of junior officers, to the exclu-
sion of those senior on the active list, and that thus
the matter may be thoroughly ventilated.
Take the following 12 of the selected, and an
equal number of the senior officers alluded to, and
in the absence of special grounds (for selection on
the one hand, and rejection on the other) I should
be glad,to know how such men as the latter list
'contains can be thus slighted without serious detri-
ment to the welfare and popularity of that service
which it is the bounden duty of the Lords of the
Admiralty to uphold the interest of.

Had the men in the latter list been advanced,
where could there have been on the part of the
part of the others a shadow of ground for complaint,
seniority in the absence of particular services being
the only just reason for promotion ? But reverse
the picture, and.you will find in it a true illustra-
tion of the manner in which the naval service of
our country is deprived of that zeal and devotion
which should animate all wearing its uniform.
