Blood she is not styled Queen), and his two
daughters by her, accompanied. him. I believe
the''Soldiers and Inhabitants hardly knew a word
about his going ; there are about four thousand
soldiers in• the place ; they now look hard at us
when we go on shore.'i The Vengeur and B,evo.
lutionaire, with a French frigate, sailed at eight
o'clock at night, blowing hard. It appears, that
about two in the morning, while they were
beating out of the Bay a black squall came on,
which rendered it difficult to distinguish each other.
Captain Maitland, however, being on deck, per-
ceived it ship so near him that it was impossible to
avoid falling aboard of her, and therefore gave the
unknown ship the stem. She proved to be the Re-
volutionaire; the. shock carried away the. latter's
main-chains, stove in all her bulwirks and gnu-
whale from' the fore to the 'main-mast, and
sprung the main-mast. *The Vengeur was damaged'
about the bowsprit, .rigging, and stern,. In the
morning we could perceive them standing in for
Baija Bay.--As soon as the Admiral heard of
this, he ordered us to be in readiness to replace
the Revolutionaii e, if she was not ready in three
days ; at the, expiration of that time, wt! sailed
from Naples; and on opening Baija Bay, we per-
ceived the Vengeur coining out, the latter making
the signal that the Revolutionaire would puceed
to sea at noon. We accordingly bore up and re-
turned to -Naples.- We have not the slightesi
idea of being ordered home, and calculate'on
'staying out a long time."

" After laying two months tit Baija, we Were
ordered round to Naples, where we received his
Majesty's (Ferdinand's) suite on hoard, consist-
ing principally of Father Confessors, Monks,
Equerries, &c. to be transported to Leghorn.—
The King himself embarked on bo'ard the

0-eur On the 'l4th December we sailed, having
-
got, under weigh at S P.,M. while blowing very
fresh. In beating out of the. Bay we ran foul of
the 'Vengeur, by, which our bulwark's were
stove in, and mainmast sprung. The Kinn.
presented Captain Maitland . with
.11 very hand-1
seme snuff-box, and barometer, and gave also
a snuff-bbx to, Captain Peliew, and the Cap-
tain of the French frigate that accompanied
us, three thousand dticats to the ship's company
of the Vengeur„ and 1,500 to each of the frigates.
We reached Leghorn on the 20th, and remained
there two days. On the 2ith, and 25th (Christ.-
.
Inas-day) it blew tremendously with rain, and
we lay-to under storm,sails and close reefed main-
top-sails.. The following day, however, we had a
fair wind, and arrived without any thing particu-
lar occurring at Naples kay." •

" The King'of Naples' is gone from hence in
the Vengeur, to Leghorn, and thence to Laybach.
What will be. the result, we know not. The
Neapolitans appear deterthined not :to give u p
one jot of their lately acquired liberties ; for be-
fore they were no better than slaves. The Re-
gent has met the Parliament, and taken the oaths
to abide by the new Constitution. Austria wishes
to enforce the return of the old order of things.
We appear *not to interfere; but 'our .sefua-
dron continues collected in this Bay, with or-
ders not to'disperse ore any account, though i't
is Nl'Ofe iinchorage here tin 'n • even in the
Downs. 'The 'ship i now pitching §O much

About a fortnight since I .made a visit to the top
of Mount Vesagius, which is now pouring,forth
great quantitie§:of lava, which runs more than

three miles down : the circuerence of the cra-

stone which flew out of it, nearly deprived me of
life : it. wei-ghs about eight 'po.unds, and is a
quarter of an inch thick of - brimstone. I Win
afterwards walked off with the stone in -toy pos..

AGRIGULTURE.

Lord NUGENT has Published a second letter,
rejoinder to Mr. BAicta, Secretary to the Buck
ingham AgricUltural Committee, the substance of
which iS as followS.:—lns Lordship' repeats his
opinion, ". that over-taxation, and :the pressure of
the poor laws" form the real_ causes of our Nil,
tiomil distress, explaining himself, that as to the
remedy, he, in course, meantlegialative 'relief, in
a gradual redaction of our expenditure, a reform
of our Financial and Commercial Systerns, and of
cur Poor Laws. In his opinion also, further
relief may. be
_afforded, in a mode which can
never become matter of Legislative interference,
nairiely, by mutual arrangeMenta and 'a'ccommo-
dations between landlord and tenant. The prOs•-;
pect,lherefore, says the ``:able Lord, is dot quite
so dreary, in my view, as you suppose ; Lord N.
never haying stated that all assistance should be
withheldi until the pressure of the public evils
be removed, but that which he repeats, " till
those evils shall have been abated, no substantial
Legzstative relief can be hoped for." His Lord-
ship justifieshimSelf for voting "against the Corn.
Bill, founded on the Report of the*Camittee
of 1815, on the fact and experience that. the ex-
clusion of Foreign Corn had failed of giving re-
liefin the acknowledgMent of those who desir-
ed and depended on.that remedy. The force of
the argument, drawn from -the vast quantity of
warehoused Foreign Coro, ready to meet a cer-
tain price, is not;' as admitted, 'effective in occa-
sioning the-late and present distress, since no

44 We agree that the increase of wages and rates,
which .+-Quill-Quillfollow 'upon an increased price of
corn, would 4 bear but 'a small proportion to the

and you will see that, in my former letter, I only
stated it to be a fallacy to represent thedifference
between the present price of corn, and that to
which it might for a time 1)e forced up by impor-
tation duties, as," all clear gain" to the farmer.
Besides, the effect, as f -view it/ would be that (a's

corn Might, for •a time, rise by this process,) so
rents which must now fall,' would rise in exact
proportion,—taxation, which must now be re-
duced, would contiuue at its present rate, or in-
