A Naples letter of the 3d says :—" A second
series of prayers have been ordered by Cardinal
Riario Sforza to be offered up in all the churches
of this city for the prompt recovery of his Majesty,
and the relics of the patron saint of Naples have
been exposed to the veneration of the faithful ; the
miracle of Saint Januarius has not been attempted
this year, as several foreign journals have stated.
The portfolio of justice has been given pro-
visionally to M. Scorsi, director of eccle-
siastical affairs ; M. Picuati, the late minister,
whose death has been already announced,' will
not be definitely replaced for the present. That
gentleman's death, the reception given =to the
Neapolitan exiles in London, and all other events
likely to cause strong emotion, have been eon;
cealed from the King. The Grand Duchess Con-
stantina has been for the last few days confined to
the Palace of Chintamonte by indisposition, but
happily it is not of a serious character. The Rus-
sian steam corvette the Baian has entered the dock
at the arsenalto undergo repair, and the Rattvisan,
screw liner, is in the port of Castellamare. The
greatest activity prevails in the naval arsenal; for
the last month three corvettes, Il Generosa, Il
Valoroso, and II Intrepido have been occupied in
carrying guns and ammunition to the forts on the
coast of Sicily, particularly to Syracuse.

FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY.

The Conference did not meet to-day, and the date
for the second meeting has not been fixed. rt is
thought, however, that the members will assemble
again at the commencement of the ensuing week.
Prince Corsini has sent a telegraphic despatch to
Paris, to declare that it is not true, as stated in a
telegraphic despatch from Marseilles, published a
few days ago, that he had Written a letter to the
Grand Duke of Tuscany, advising H.I.H. to enter
into an alliance with Piedmont.
The following is from the Gazette de France :
We are also opposed to Austrian rule in Italy.
We are in favour of an Italian confederation, but
we wish to see this great reform accomplished

under the influence of the principles of conserva-
tion and catholicism. The fiord, which differs
from us, is right, since it is Russian, to desire ar-
dently the meeting of a congress and the guarantee
of the five powers. This guarantee, in spite of its
collective character, admits Russia to the politics
of Italy—a result which twenty victorious battles
would not have achieved. In fact, were she to
triumph- on this 'point, Cossack influence would
extend over Europe—that influence of which Na-,
poleon I. predicted, in terror, the advent:"
