A letter from Naples of the 23d ult. contains the
following particulars relative to the new colony, to
be founded on the Parana, of political exiles from
the kingdom of Naples :;;---
" Conditions on which his Majesty the King
of Naples will permit Royal subjects convicted
and detained for political causes to emigrate
to the Argentine colony :—The Government of
the Argentine Republic allots ten acres of land to
each of these Royal subjects, and, besides, a square
league of land for each 1,200 colonists, which is to
serve for the construction of public buildings, kstab-
lishments for education, hospitals, and high roads.
The new colonists will be divided into groups of
five individuals, to each of which groups the Go-
vernraent of the Republic will give the ground
allotted to them absolutely and for ever, together
with 50 piastres to build a hut, of which the
materials may b 3 taken from the neighbouring
forest. The Government will likewise give each
colonist six barrels of flour, potatoes, beans and
other vegetables in sufficient quantityto sow half the
land allotted to him. The colonists will likewise
receive two horses, two oxen, and a bull, a plough,
two pickaxes, two shovels, two hatchets, two large
knives, and a wheelbarrow. The value of those
articles, which will amount to 200 pataconi for
each colonist, and the 50 pataconi for the construc-
tion of the hut, are to be repaid by the colonists in
five instalments at the end of each year after three
years. During that period the colonists can-
not dispose of the land allotted to them, nor
transfer it to another, until it shall be cultivated.
The expenses of the transportation of the colonists
are to be defrayed by the King of Naples. A parish
priest and a curate are to be attached to each colony.
The Argentine Republic will supply the colony
with Catholic priests, and will defray the expense
of religious worship. The wives and other members
of the families of the colonists shall be transported at
the cost of the Royal Government. If any colonist
shall escape and return to his native country, he
shall be subject to the punishment to which he wan
sentenced, and which was commuted to transpor-
tation. If a colonist is married he will receive an
additional acre for his wife and each of his child-
ren."

A letter from Berne, of the Ist, says :
" A number of Royalists of Neuchatel left that
canton some time ago, to avoid being required to
serve in the army against Prussia, and took up
their residence at Morteau, a small town of the
department of the Doubs, on the road from Locle
to Besancon, close to Switzerland. There they
were recently joined by some Royalists who have
been banis ed from the canton, and also by
some- of the Royalist prisoners set at liberty, but
who were required to leave Switzerland. A few
days ago a banquet was got up at Morteau,
and a great many of the refugees of that place took
part in it, and at that banquet demonstrations
hostile to Switzerland were made by a large por-
tion of lithe guests. In consequence, the Federal
Council, iu compliance with • the wish of the Go-
vernment of Neuchatel, has called on the French
Government, in energetic terms, to send all the
iefugees into the interior of France, and it is not
doubted that the demand will be complied with."

AUSTRIA.
The Bourse Gazette of Vienna, of the 30th,
states that the last despatches, received from Count
Colloredo, the Austrian Ambassador at Rome,
confirm the account given of preparations being
made by the Cout t of Rome to introduce the ad-
ministrative reforms recommended by the We tern
Powers. The Austrian troops are to stay in the
legati,ns until these reforms are completed. Those
at Parma will leave at the same time.
