THE DISTURBANCES IN ITALY.

A telegraphic despatch received in Paris gives
news from Naples to the 3d. The insurrection is
stated to have been entirely put down ou all points.
Two engagements between the insurgents and the
royal troops are stated to have taken place on the
frontiers of Calabria, and in the first it is alleged
that the insurgents lost 100 men, and in the second
30. The steam frigates of the Neapolitan navy,
Amalia, Roberto, Ruggiero, and Vesuvio, have re-
ceived orders to cruise on the coast.
The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 3'l
states that M. Savi, the responsible editor of the
Mazzinian journal Italia e Popolo, has been ar-
rested, together with a few other suspected indivi-
duals. The criminal inquiry is being actively con-
tinued.

In the sitting of the 31 of the Chamber of De-
puties at Turin, M. Itatazzi, Minister of the In-
terior, in reply to a question addressed to hitn by
Conut Revel, confirmed his former statement, viz.,
that the movement of Genoa was Mazzinian.

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 2d publishes the
following account
The steamboat Cagliari, which performs the mail
service from Genoa to Tunis touching at some of
the ports in Sardinia, and which belongs to the com-
pany of Rubatt;no, started from Genoa on the 25th
ult., to make her usual trip. No notice having
been received of her arrival in Sardinia, and it
being known that some suspected persons, the
greartaln Legion,vrpiaartofNhmhawd dischargedmereebarkedon
board
sthoisf
the
vessel, furnished with regular passports for Tunis,
the authorities despatched the steamer Ichnusa, of
the royal navy, to search for the Cagliari, and to
resist any attempt which might be made by them.
This search has proved fruitless, and information
has now reached us that the persons above alluded
to, having possessed themselves of the command of
the vessel, direced her caurse towards the coasts
of the kingdom of Naplel, and on the 27th ult.
attacked the isle of Ponza, where they took on
board three hunched of the prisoners condemned
for political offencei, and thence proceeded to the
coast of tse Lower Principality, in the province of
Salerno, and landed at a place upon that coast of
the name of Sapri. _ . .

The individuals referred to had hoisted tLe red
flag on board the vesel, but persisted in keeping
the Sardinian flag, which they abused in an un-
worthy manner. Two vesse!s of the Neapolitan
navy, which were transporting troops into the pro-
vince of Salerno, have captured the Cagliari.
The government here (says a letter dated Turin,
July 2), his already got hold of all the threads
of the conspiracy, and to-morrow the Gazette
will inform us of some of the particulars of it.
This city continues to be grieved and astonished
by the attempt which has been made ; very few of
our townsman had any part in it, and th )se few
were inexperienced youths„who will have to mourn
for what they have done. Some of those who
attacked the Diamante Fort were observed to speik
French, and there are many tokens for believing
them to be affiliated to the celebrated French
" Marianne."

A letter from Genoa of the 2d instant in the
Opinione of Turin, says that, several of the per-
sons arres ed there have been set at liberty, but
more than a hundred remain in confinement. It is
said that three of the party who attacked the
Diamante Fort had been apprehended. The senti
nel of the fort has also been taken into custody.
The Cattolico assens that amongst the letters
found upon the prisoryos were papers of instruc-
tions signed by. Joseph Mazziui, in which be tells
them, amongst other thin(o, that they are to ab-
stain from appropriating the booiy, in order that it
may afterwards be divided in equal shares amongst
all the members of the National Society. The same
journal speaks of a design on the part of the conspi-
rators to blow up the palaces and public buildings,
but, says the Opinione, " we. do not know what
foundation there is for these statements."
It is stated that three thousand ,stand of arms
with ammunition, hand grenades, and other war-
like stores, have been seized at Genoa.
The conspiracy (says the Paris correspondent of
the Times, second edition), was directed, it is said,
against the King of Naples and the Pops. It was
not with a view to any particular form of govern-
ment ; the object was to get rid of the Italian
Bourbons, and expel the Austrians, and those who
are protected by them, from Italy. The concocters
of the plan have as their watchword the saying of
Machiavelli, "lfssori i Barbari," and then Italy
may choose the government that best suits her.
It is said that M. Mazzini himself has for
the present abandoned his peculiar no.ions of
government, has temporarily abd'cated his leader-
ship, and has entered into the cause as a soldier
rather than as a chief. What has taken place at
Genoa was, it is said, not directed against the Pied-
montese Government. The object was to get pos-
session of some ships of war iu the habour, and the
occupation of the forts was judged necessary to
keep the city in cheek while the vessels were manned
by the conspirators. Willa these vessels it was
intended to proceed at once to Naples, and make a
despdrate attempt to fire the shipping, the arsenal
(which is full of combustible material), and the
powder magazine, and to blow up the Palace and
part of the city, if necessary. It seems that persons
employed in the arsenal were aware of what was
going on, and, when the moment came, would
have lent their aid. At Naples itself there was an
understanding with the conspirators, and in the
ranks of the Neapolitan army there are said to be
many sympathisers.

Accounts have been received to-day that the
owners of the steampacket Cagliari have demanded
the rest°, ation of that vessel from the Neapolitan
Government on the gr muds that the captain and
crew had acted under the influence of force majeure.
The Neapolitan Governm:nt has replied that the
ship is officially confiscated. Iu cam) the Sardinian
Government should support the claims of the
owners of the Cagliari it may lead to unpleasant
results.

It appears from a letter dated Turin, the 4,h
inst., that the Fort Diamante, at Genoa, was in
possession of the Republicans from 10 o'clock of
the night of the 30th of June until daylight of the
Ist of July. Eleven soldiers who formed the gar-
rison after the murder of the sergeant were con-
fined in a casemate. The insurgents had loaded
-the guns of the fort, prepared shells and cannon
balls, and had prepared to defend themselves ; but
the conspiracy not having succeeded in the town,
they abandoned the fort, leaving in it the arms
they had brought there.
