It would appear that the reaction against the reac-

tion has commenced in good earnest in the dominions
of the King of the Two Simms, and that the Cala-
brias are at this moment the seat of a civil war
which will probably be of such a character as to make
humanity shudder ; for the Calabrians have been for
the last eighteen months, in common with the other
subjects of his Majesty KING BOIRBA, experiencing
treatment more than sufficient to generate
sentiments of deadly hatred and implacable
vengeance in the bosoms of a less excitable race
than that which inhabits the ancient Magna Grecia,
once the most civilized region of the globe, but now re-
duced to semi-barbarism by the demoralizing tyranny
of the successive Kings of Naples. The Austrian
Government, it would appear, has fur some time past
foreseen that the unreasoning tyranny of the Neapoli-
tan Bourbon could not but drive his people to despair,
and produce an outbreak, which, should it once get
head, would inevitably extend to all Italy ; and
as Austria is in no condition to renew the
efforts she made 'in 1848 and 1849, and could not
now spare a single soldier to assist the BOURBON even
in his utmost need, the Austrian Minister has of
late addressed the Neapolitan tyrant in language
of sharp reproof—has strongly recommended the ob-
servance on his part of a more constitutional, more
conciliatory, and more reasonable line of policy. The
Bourbon " adder," however, was "deaf to the voice of
the charmer," and with the characteristic stu-
pidity, obstinacy, and cruelty of his race, determined
to persevere in his system of government by terror, but,
as the Austrian Minister foresaw, the 9:h Thermie or
of the ROBESPIERRE of legitimacy is at band, and from
the point of all others least expected, from Calabria, will
prcceed, perchance, the liberation of Italy. We pub-
lished a few days since a correspondence which
originally appeared in the Paris Evinement,
and which gave a short account of this
Calabrian outbreak, and we have anxiously
watched for further intelligence, which should
either confirm the truth or prove the falsehood
of the news given in the Er inement. We did not,
however, look for any information on the subject
to the Neapolitan journals; they are every one of
them in the hands of the Government; even the Tempo,
which so long preserved its independence, has been at
last forced to succumb, and is now under the sole di-
rection of PECCEIENEDA, the Minister of the Police—
neither did we expect to find any account of the
Calabrian insurrection in the foreign correspondence
of the English re-actionary journals ; it is not
their cue to know anything of the Calabrian insur-
rection until the insurgents shall be at the
gates of Naples. In an Italian journal,
however, 11 Commune Italiano, published at
Milan, under the government of the myrmidons,
of Austria, and the authority of which, therefore,
cannot be disputed, we find the accounts given by
the correspondent of the Evenement fully corrobo-
rated. It was on the 25th of August that the attack
was made by the band of Bianchi en Nicastro,
and that they entered that city to "execute," as they
said, " justice on their enemies"—and so far did their
thirst for revenge carry them that they not only shot
down and cut down the Sbirri of the King of
NAPLES, and the Neapolitan authorities wherever
they could find them, but burned the houses
and ravaged the property of these their " enemies,"
and one man was observed who refused to permit
any measures to be adopted to extinguish the flames
of his own house, but who, on the contrary, adopted
every means in his power to increase the force of
the flames, because it was situated in the
midst of the houses of the " enemies." A certain
FERDINANDO AJELLO, an urban guard, who had
betrayed some persons to the authorities, was shot
by his nephews, who refused to permit any
others to shoot him, because:they wished to wash out
the shame of the fa-nily! " This episode," says
the writer in the Commune Italiano, " should warn
the political power, that if it does not stop short in
the course it is pursuing, and adopt more temperate
measures for the pacification of the country, greater
evils must inevitably occur. The revolution which
is now preparing in the Two Sicilies will surpass
that of '99 in France. In Nicastro there were more

than 200 of the inhabitants arrested by the

military authorities. The revolutionists have
retaliated by wholesale shootings and burn-
ings." Deeply as we regret these events, so
shocking to humanity, yet we are not surprised at
their occurrence, for the provocation given by
the King of NAPLES and his myrmidons has
been of a character beyond all endurance, and their
conduct during the last eighteen months has been one
continued series of cruelty, injustice, rapine, cowardice
and meanness. Thus is their conduct described in this
very journal, published at Milan under Austrian
rule :—" The Two Sicilies are in a state of
complete desolation. The reaction imprisons, tor-
tures, prosecutes, and puts to death, for thoughts even,
into which it scrutinises; it gives its own significa-
tion to the acts and gestures of every indivi-
dual citizen, descends to a system of the minutest
espionage in private domiciles, in courts of
justice, in churches, in oratories, in monasteries,
tortures in the country and in the city with a cynicism
which inspires horror, and with an impassibility
which moves the most impassible." Such is a pic-
ture not overcharged of the unbearable tyranny
under which the Two Sicilies have groaned
since the month of April of last year. Can
we be surprised that the ignorant but fiery
population of Calabria should "profit by the lesson
that has been taught them," and should endeavour to
do that which is manifestly impossible, " better the
example?"

REPAVING OF OXFORD•STREET.--The portion of
this immense and important thoroughfare between South
Moulton and New Bond-streets has been closed for traffic, in
order to remove the ordinary macadamized paving and re-
place it with granite blocks, as being more durable and also
more suitable to this portion of the street, which is a rapid
decline to the, so called, hollow of Oxford-street, and which
will now be assimilated with the lower portion of the
descent, which was paved in a similar manner about a year
since. The works will proceed with the dispatch requisite
in a thoroughfare of such extent, and in the meantime the
traffic is obliged to take a circuitous route to the place of des-
tination.

AN INLAND " SEA SERPENT."— On Friday last,
as two veteran anglers, who had seen many summers on the
banks of lake Windermere, were amusing themselves at mid-
day with their favourite sport, they espied a snake crossing
the water. Its dimensions are described as at least a yard in
length, and its girth about the thickness of a person's wrist,
and its vivid scaly hues as glittering beautifully in the tun.
They weighed anchor and gave chase, with the intention of
securing it. On their approach, however, it grinned— not
" horribly, a ghastly smile"—but so menacingly fierce, that
they thought proper to desist, and let the reptile pass. The
lake, where it was crossing, is about a mile in width.— Mt-sr-

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Univers, the organ of the Jesuits and the
parti- pretre, having succeeded in " its expedition to
Rome," now proposes that Catholic Austria should
take advantage of the attack on HAYNAU by BAR.
CLAY and PERKINS'S draymen to make war on Eng-
land, to do which the pious Catholics of France
would aid Austria with a fleet ; and thus the Univers
hopes to establish, at the point of the bayonet, the ab-
solute rule of the Jesuits in that horrible England,
which, by its Protestanism and its Constitutionalism,
is such a stumbling block in the way of those who
would fain organize a new St. Bartholomew's.

The Monitcur du Soir and the Patrie publish the
following

'• The number of persons who daily visit the Elysis
has increased to such a degree as to take from the Pre-
sident the time called for by "public business. He has
been, therefore, compelled to adopt a general measure
which, without doubt, will affect even his intimate
friends, but who will be the first to admit the rigorous
necessity of it. No one except the Ministers and the
high functionaries of the State will is future be admitted
without a letter of audience."

The Bulletin de Paris says
" We cannot too strongly caution the departmental
journals against the false reports which are circulated
by certain opposition papers in Paris as to the language
and pretended resolutions of political personages. For
instance, it has been announced with much solemnity
that General Lamoriciere had warmly complained on
Thursday last to the permanent committee of the re-
views which have taken place at Versailles before the
President of the Republic. General Lamoriciere is at
this time inspecting the Haras, and the period of his re-
turn to Paris is not yet fixed."
The Princess PASHIEWITCH, the wife of the cele-
brated Russian General, has arrived at Lisle.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 25th have arrived.
General NARVAEZ entertained Lord HowDEN at a
grand state dinner on the 23.1.
The Epoca gives the following as the Ministerial
programme for the approaching Session of the Cortes :
" The budget; the conscription laws; the arrange-
ment of the debt; the favourable and prudent resolution
of the question of corporation estates; the reforms that
are judged to be necessary in our system of imposts, in
customs, in the salt, in the gate dues, and those on con-
sumption; the concordat; a practical system which may
facilitate the communications and the public works in the
country—such is the vast programme of the next ses-
sion."

The Clamor Publico has the following :
" A correspondent of a journal at Cadiz, writing from
Madrid, says:---' You will have seen in the Ministerial
journals of the capital what they say on the projects of
the Minister of Finance and upon the reduction of taxes.
We can add to this intelligence what is currently re-
ported here. Speaking of the budget, it is said, and
some give it for certain, that the tax upon real property
is to be increased by fifty millions of reels, as the only
resource of the Minister of Finaneo to cover the ex-
penses of the budget of the coming year and the extra-
ordinary credits granted to improve certain branches of
the Administration."

A concession has been granted for the construction
of a railroad between Xeres de la Frontera and Cadiz,
which will be forthwith commenced. A large mole is
about to be constructed at San Sebastian.

It was rumoured in Madrid that the secretary of
the Duke of MONTPENSIER has left for England, to
iuvite the Queen AMELIE, and the other members of
the family to pass some time in Andalusia.
