No. 60.
" UR. LYONS TO THE EARL OF DIALEIESBURY.
(Recticed June 17.)
" Naple9, June 11, 1358.
" My Lord,—The messenger Grattan delivered to me,
late on the 6th inst., your lordship'a despatch r f the 25th
ult., eneloaing two let era addressed by your lordship 10
Signor Carafa, in reply to the letter of the 6th by
which he declined, on the part of the Neapolitan Govern
merit, to make compensation to the engineers Watt and
Park.

" On the following day I placed your lordship's leWre
in Signor Carata's hands. I stated bri, fi' to him the
principal points laid down in them, and I explainee to
him that while her Majesty's Government were Wiling,
in accordance with the principle recommended by the
cenference of Petrie. to submit their difference with
Nap'es to the me liation of a fiien po t'ley could
not consent to be bound by any arbitration.
" A short converiation ensued, during which I etidee-
voured to point out forcibly, but in few words, CAI in.-
portance of the King's deciding at once, either upon
complying unreservedly with your lordship's demands,
or upon accepting the reference to a mediator,- which
you proposed. Signor Carafa-said little more than that
he would lose no time in taking his Majesty's commands,
" On the 9th inst. Signor Carafe delivered to mit the
sealed paaket which I have the honour to enclose, ar.d
informed me that it contained hie answer to the letters
from your lordship, which I had delivered to him .two
deep previt,uely. He :aid that the government of the
Two Sicilies are well aware ;that thy had no mew n of
resisting the power of Great Britain ; that the 3,0061'
demanded for the engineers would be forthwith remitted
to your lordship ; that the Cagliari and the craw were
placed at the disposal of her Majesty's government : and
that officers from the proper departments would wait
upon me in the course of the day to make over to me
the ship and the men.
" I replied that I would acquaint your lordship im-
mediately by telegraph with the information he had just
given me, but that until I ehoull receive your enders I
could not take ary responsibility, nor even give any
answer respecting the Cagliari or her crew.
" I spoke in the same sense to an officer of his
Siedian Majesty's navy, who came to me later in the
day, on the parr of the Minister of Marine, to say that
the minister, having received orders to place the Cagliari
at my disposal, begged me to inform him to whom I
wished that ship to be made over.

"Last night I received a letter from Salerno from the
Attorney General, ioquirii,g to whom I wished the ere w
of the Cagliari to be delivered. I have the honour to
enclose a copy and translation of this letter ; I do not
intend to reply to it until I receive inetrnctior.s from
your lordship in answer to my telegram of the day be-
fore yesterday.—l bare, &c ,

"MR. LYONS TO TES EARL OF MALMESBURY.
-ce (Rivel June 24 )

" My Lord,—Mr. 13arbar has shown very great z 'al
and activity in forwarding the preparations for taking
the Cagliari to sea; and Captain Clifford has given all
t'-e assistance which could be furi.i.shtd by the resources
of her Majesty's ship Centaur. S ill it has been found
that so much is required to put the ship in a condition
to make a voyage with safety, after having been neatly
a year in port without stirring, that I ta..9 afraid it will
be impwrible to get her off to-day. To morrow morn-
ing, however, she will, I have every reason to believe,
set cut for Geuoa. In obedience to your lordship's
orders she will Iv- placed under the charge tf Mr. Bar-
bar, be commanded by Captain Sitzia, and be manned
by her own former crew. She wit! navigate with her
original papers (which have been restored), and will
therefore, of course, be under the Sardiniin flag.
The engineers and stokeea were, as your lordship
is well aware, liberated, and allowed to leave the country
some time ago.' It has been found impossible to hire
men here to take their place, but Captain Clifford has,
at my request-,- .consented to send on board for this
voyage the requisite number of enoineers and stokers
from the Centaur.
" It will apparently not he necessary that the Cen-
taur should accompany the Cagliari to Genoa.
"Tho Neapolitan officiale facilitated Mr. Barbar'd
labours with activity and courtesy. By very great
exertions the business of the inventory was completed in
the afternoon of the day htf .re yesterday. When this
long and troublesome affair was brought to a coucl.ssioa
the commandant of the arsenal suggested to Mr. Barhar
that it would be desirable to remove the Cagliati at
once from the military port, and, in order to ensure her
safe custody, to anchor her in the vicinity of her Ma-
jesty's ship Centaur, outside. At the same time the
officials from the departments of Pereign Affairs and of
Grace and Ju-tice, who had taken part in the proceed-
ings, suggested that the Centaur should convey the
crew from Salerno when they were set free ; and said
this was the mode tf bringing them to Naples which
would be moat agreeable to his Sicilian Majesty's Go-
vernment. To both these questions Mr. Barbar gave
his assent, subject to my approval.

"On being informed of this, I immediately went to
Signor Co.rafa, and asked him if the arrangements sug-
gested to Mr. Barbar were, in fa t, those which the
Neapolitan Government preferred. His xcellency re-
plied, that with respect to moving the Cagliari to the
vicinity of the Centaur the raval authorities were the
best judger., and that it would be well to comply at
once with the request of the commandant of the arsenal.
His excellency begged me, however, to allow him to
consul; the Minister of Police before giving an answer
as to the Centaur's going to Salerno for the crew.
In the course of the afternoon he informed me, by a
private note, that notice had been given to the Attor-
ney-General that the Centaur would be at Salerno, to
receive the liberated crew on the following morning
" The Cagliari was moved at once out of the military
port, and auchored not ter from the Centaur. 'Vest rday
the Centaur herseif set out at daylight hr
leaving an officer iu charge of the Cagliari. Mr. Barbar
had gone thither by lend and mace atrangerucite with
the Attorney-General for the liberation of the captain
and crew. They embarked oa board the Centaur about
noon, and on their arrival at Naples were immediately
transferred to their own ship, from which they had been
taken to prison eleven months and a half bet re. The
number of persons thus set at liberty and put on beard
the Cagliari is nineteen in all, including the captain and
Daneri, the passenger, whom the insurgents e,mr•elled
to navigate the ship whoa c:)411..4.(1 t.;aptitin Stlz a

•• I have the honour to inclose a copy of a letter re-
questing that the crew might be set free and made over
to Mr. Barbar, which I addressed to the Attorney-Gene-
ral Pacifico, in reply to the letter from him t ► me,
dated the 10 h inst., of which I transmitted a copy to
your lordship in my despatch of 11th instant.
"I have been careful to keep the Sardinian charge

taken respecting the Cagliari and her crew. Mr. Barbar,
by ray desire, offered the Sardinian consul-general Signor
