THE REVOLUTIONARY IVIOVEDIENT

IN ITALY.
NAPLES, JULY 3.
The insurrection is now completely put down at
all points.

Two engagements have taken place on the fron-
tier of Calabria, between the insurgents and the
royal troops. In the first, it is said, the insurgents
had 100 men killed, and in the second 30.
The Neapolitan steam-frigates Amalia, Roberto
Ruggiero, and Vesuvio have received orders to con-
tinue cruising off the coast.

A despatch, dated Turin on the evening of the
2d inst., gives some details of the insurrectionary i
attempt made against the kingdom of Naples :
" The Cagliari steamer carried, by the side of her
Sardinian national flag, an immense red one. At
Ponza, of which the insurgents gained possession
by surprise, 300 prisoners, all political, were re-
leased, who, uniting with the insurgents, landed at
Sapri, in the province of Salerno. They attacked '
the gendarmerie of the district, who had assembled
to march against them, but the insurgents were
dispersed and closely pursued. A certain number
of them were made prisoners during the encounter.
Two frigates, which captured the Cagliari, found a
large quantity of arms ou board her. The inhabi-
tants, who are favourable to the Government, re-
mained perfectly calm "
The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa gives further
particulars concerning the conspiracy discovered in
that city. On the night of the 29th the police, act-
ing upon certain information, searched several
houses in Santa Brigida, Vallezthiara, near the Pila
gate, and other parts of the town. Muskets, pistols,
stilettoes, and a quantity of ammunition were dis-
covered, some secreted in a coach-house, others in an
unoccupied room. The most important points of the
city had been occupied during the day by a nume-
rous force ; but towards midnight a few groups of
armed men went about the streets of the western
part of the city, uttering seditious cries ; they,
however, threw down their arms and ran away at
the first appearance of the bayonets. Several of
them were arrested • others met the same fate at
the eastern gates, where two carts laden with arms,
petards, crowbars, &c., were seized. It appears that
the insurgents displayed more activity outside the
town, for about nightfall a party of about fifty men
surprised the sentinel of the small fort Diamante, an
outwork garrisoned by a sergeant, two corporals,
and 13 men. Having got in, the insurgents at-
tempted to disarm this small force, and one of them
fired at the sergeant and killed him on the spot.
The soldiers, however, stood their ground, and re-
sponded with a volley which put the assailants to
flight ; some of them being wounded, were aided in
making their escape by their companions. The
number of persons arrested was about 40. Of these
several were set at liberty on the following morn-
ing, but other arrests were made immediately after.
It is stated most of the prisoners are foreigners,
chiefly Swiss and French.
A letter from Turin of July 1 affirms that Maz-
zini is in Piedmont.
In the Piedmontese Chambers, on that day, M. de
Revel (the leader of the Right) asked for some explana-
tions of the events of Genoa.
Ratazzi, the Minister of the Interior, said that the
government had been for some time aware that republi-
can intrigues were going on in Genoa. They were in-
formed that a movement was to take place on the night
of the 29th and 30th. The police were therefore on
the watch, and a part of the garrison was kept under
arms. At midnight the news came that the telegraphic
wires between Genoa and Turin, and between Genoa
and Novara, had been cut. This inte ligence confirmed
the pre-existing suspicions, and the military were imme-
diat4ly ordered out to reconnoitre. Several groups were
found in the streets, some arrests were made, and upon
every individual arrested arms were found. It having
been learned that a coup de main was tc be attempted
against the fort of Sperona, a battalion of sharpshooters
was sent there. Toe place was found surrounded by a
number of armed men, who were arrested. That night
and the day following several domiciliary visits were
made, and considerable depots of arms and ammunition
were seized. • The sergeant in command of the Diamond
Fort was killed by the insurgents, but otherwise no blood
was shed.

M. de Revel inquired what sort of men they were who
had been arrested and where they came from ; for it
was important to know whether the authors of these
marl acts were natives or emigrants.
M, Ratazzi replied that he had not sufficient informa-
tion to answer in detail, but he believed that among the
persons arrested were some Italians from other provinces
of Italy, and some Genoese.
The conversation then terminated.
The writer of the letter from Turin, of the let
inst., above quoted, says, "At the moment of
closing I hear a talk of a rising in Leghorn and of
a movement in Romagna and Calabria. There is
also a rumour of a military revolt in Naples. Some
insurgents have, it is said, landed in Sicily."
A traveller, who left Naples on June 30, reports
that troops were then being sent into Calabria.
According to the latest official intelligence from
Italy known in Paris this evening the Calabrian
provinces were tranquil, 100 insurgents had been
killed, and 30 wounded. Naples was quiet. This
news is dated Naples, July 3.
At Genoa, on the same day (Friday), two more
of the leaders of the movement had been arrested.
Leghorn was tranquil.

According to a despatch received in Paris yester-
day from Marseilles it was known at Constantinople
on the 29th June that a Russian steamer flying the
British flag had entered the Circassian ports of
Gelendjeck and Sudjuk-Kale, and there seized the
merchandise they found in several veisels.

MADEIRA.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
PLYMOUTH, MONDAY, 10 A. M.

A small sloop, tender to the schooner yacht
Destiny, from Funchal, Madeira, 91st June, arrived
here this morning under charge of Joaquin Rafael,
who reports that, the day before they left, a three
masted screw steam-ship, from the coast of Africa,
arrived at Madeira. She is probaby the mail-packet
Niger, Commander Rolt, 18 days overdue here,
and for whose safety considerable anxiety has been
experienced. The sloop was in tow of the Destiny,
but broke adrift off the coast of Portugal.
