ITALY.

A serious fracas took place at Naples on the 7th,
between some Neapolitan soldiers and French sailors.
The latter were attacked by the soldiers with the
greatest ferocity. The Neapolitans, who far out-
numbered. the Frenchmen, charged them with
bayonets; and having thrown them on the ground,
trampled on and stabbed them. The Frenchmen
eventually-escaped to their boat, which was fired at
by the Neapolitan troops. A signal reparation for
this outrage has been demanddd of King BOXIBA by
the representative of the French Republic.
The Giornale di Roma, of the 16th, states that on
the preceding day Pius IX. left the Vatican, with
a private suite and a small detachment of eight
noble guards, and proceeded to the Liberian
Basilica. lie afterwards unexpectedly visited the
French military hospital, near the Church of
St. Andrea al Quirinale. He spoke to the sick
ih French, and expressed his • approbation at
the order and cleauliness.which prevailed there. The
Osservatore Romano says that the Pope has conferred
the cross of Commander of the Order of St. Gregory to
14 I. secretary of the French police at Rome. The
Commission of Government has prohibited the wearing
of the Vicenza medals, which had been distributed
to the Papal soldiers who defended Vicenza in 1848.
The military post of the Vatican is to be occupied
by French troops one day and Roman troops the
other, alternately. Letters from Ferrara announce
the death of Cardinal Cadolini, 'Archbishop of that
diocese.

The Milan Gazette publishes a notification of Count
Radetzky of the 16th, ordering a loan of 120 millions
of francs in.the Lombardo•Venetian territory, in or-
der to extinguish the Treasury bills in circulation.
A voluntary subscription is to be opened for the pur-
pose ; but if this were to fail, the Government would
take measures to ensure the regular circulation of the
Treasury bills.
