Farther correspondence respecting the Cagliari
has been laid before Parliament. It amply sus.
tains the opinions we have expressed of Lord
Malmesbury's zeal and discretion. Some of the
inure important documents have been alreiy pub-
lished in our columns. We append cowmuuica

No. 60.
" NB. LYONS TO TUE EARL OF MILMESEURY.
(Received June 17.)
" Naples, June 11, 1858.
" My Lord,—The messenger Grattan delivered to me,
late on the 6th inst., your lordship's despatch c f the 25th
ult., enclosing two let,ers addressed by your lordship to
Signor Carafa, in reply to the letter of the 6th ult., by
which be declined, on the part of the Neapolitan Govern
meet, to make compensation to the engineers Watt and
Park.

" On the following day I placed your lordship's letters
in Signor Carafe's hands. I stated bri-fly to him the
principal points laid down in them, and I explained to
him that while her Majesty's Government were willing,
in accordance with the principle recommended by the
cmftrence of Paris, to submit their difference with
Nap'es to the me iiation of a friendly pe Ater, they could
not consent to be bound by any arbitration.
" A short conversation ensued, during which I endea-
voured to point out forcibly, bat in few words, the im-
portance of the King's deciding at once, either upon
complying unreservedly with your lordship's de:nande,
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.
tiegtollintkith,lnE6 CArala delivered to me the
informvd me that it iftarani,4l-airanaisterto, the lettere
from your lordship, which I had delivered to him' two
days previously. He said that the government of the
Two Sicilies are well aware that they had no means of
resisting the power of Great Britain ; that the 3,000/
demanded fir the engineers would be forthwith remitted
your lordship ; that the Cagliari and the crew 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 ha had just
given me, but that until I should receive your erders 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
Sieilian Majesty's navy, who came to me later in the
day, on the part 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 .1
wished that ship to be made ev,r.
"Last night I received a letter from Salerno from the
Attorney General, inquiring to w:iorn I wished the crew
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 instructions from
your lordship in answer to my telegram of the day be-
fore yesterday.—l have, ecc ,

"MR. LYONS TO THE EARL OF MALHEUR:MY.
(Received June 24 )
cg My Loral,—Mr. Barbar has shown very great zeal
and activity in forwarding the preparations for taking
the Cagliari to sea ; and Captain Clifford has given all
ties assistance which could be furnished by the resources
of her Majesty's ship Centaur. Sill it ba3 been found
that so much is required to.put the ship in a condition
to make a voyage with safety, aLer having been nearly
a year in pert without stirring, that I am a`raid it will
be impceeiible to get her eff to-day. To-morrow morn-
ing, however, she will, I have every reason to believe,
set cut for Genoa. In obedience to your lordship's
orders she will be placed under the charge of Mr. Bar-.
bar, be eoramat4ed by Captain 'Sitnia, and be manned
,by her own former crew, She will navigate with her
original papers (which have been restor.sti), and will
therefere, of course, be under the Sardinian flag.
The engineers and stokers 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 hers to take their pile., heft Captain Clifford has,
s,t my request, consented to bC11:1. bu board fur LU,s
Voyage the requisite number of engineers and stokeri
from the Centaur.
"It will apparently not be necessary that the Cen-
taur should accompany the Cagliari to Genoa.
"The Neapolitan officials facilitated Mr. Barber's
laeours with activity and courtesy. By very great
exertions the business of the inventory was completed in
the afternoon of the day before yesterday. When this
long and troublesome affair was brought to a conclesion
the commandant of the arsenal-suggeiaed to Mr, Barbar
that it would be desirable to remove the Cagliari 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 Foreign Affairs and of
Grace and Justice, 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 of bringing them to Naples which
would be most 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 Carafe, and asked him if the arrangements sug-
gested to Mr. Barbar were, in fact, those which the
Neapolitan Government preferred. .His excellency re-
plied, that with respect to moving the Cagliari to the
vicinity of the Centaur the naval authorities were the
best judges, 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 bitten to
cause; 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 bad 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 anchored not far from the Centaur. Yesterday
the Centaur herself set out at daylight hr Salerno,
leaving.an officer in charge of the Cagliari. Mr. Barbar
had gone thither by land and made arrangements with
the Attorney-General for the liberation of the captain
and crew. They embarked en 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 before. The
number of persons thus set at liberty and put on-beard
the Caglieri is nineteen in all, including toe captain and
Daneri, the passenger, whom the insurgents compelled
to navigate the ship when they confined Captain Satz a
below.
"I have the honour to inclose a copy of a letter re-
questing that the crow 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 to me,
dated the 10-1 kat., of which I transmitted a copy to
your lordship in my despatch of 11th instant.
"I have been careful to keep the Sardinian charge
d'affair es, Count Gropello, fully informed of all the eteps
taker, respecting the'Cagliari and her crew. Mr. Barbar,
