NAPLES, Jan. s.—The Police Commission con'
tinues its investigations into the state of the aria,
The marines have been overhauled. Two officers
have been removed, and some of the soldiers sent to
the islands. Arrests have been made in other corps;
The company to which Agesilao Milano belonged
has been broken up, and the captain, lieutenant,
and serjeauts put under arrest. Thus a step hill
been taken, the effect of which must be to mortifs
and irritate the army beyond the power of reconei'
liation ; in fact, every step that has been taken aP.

sentiment in favour of Milano, it may be Meta

The police had endeavoured to ascertain the 0
of the person who ordered the mass, but with°
any avail.
Those in Naples who are well-informed on ti
subject say that the Government is very aol°.l
about the state of Sicily, and that the orders ';

A paragraph in the French papers states tP
Baron Bentivegna, the author of the late 1121,
