" Ou Sunday, the eight Of the 2d bf July; a smell boi ii of
Cavalry (about 120) marched out of Nola, accompanied by
sonic Officers ; they displayed the tri-coloured cockade. Their
first Movement was upon Avelino, *here they were fired upon
by a battalion of the Taturtite Regiment. In tbe course of the
next day, however, the Insurgents were reinforced by great:
numbers of the peasantry, and the town was taken, the batta-
lion disarmed, and the Civil Authorities oblige 6 to swear
Allegiance to the Constitution. The Neapolitan Government
was altogether unprepared fur such events, rind being iierlians
diffident of the troops in the garrison at Naples, they delayed
any attack upon the Insurgents, until the latter lied collected
au imposing force.
" The Royal troops at length made some movements, one
column took up a position on the Nola road, and another of
these marched to Nocera, and the whole were put under the
command of General Carascora. These arrangements led to
an expectation that an attack would be made upon the Insur-
gents, but the spirit of the troops opposed to them rendered
a retrogade movement necessary, and a General I'rppi set off
clandestinely from Naples and put himself at the head of the
disaffected troops and decided the affair: ftl inchino, a Canon
of Nola, and a man of considerable ability, is a leading cha-
racter among the Insurgents.
" The King, after sonic resistance,lhas issued a Proclama-
tion, promising a Constitution in eight days. The Ministers
hare resigned their situations, and a new Government is
forming.
" A Copy (printed) of the last .mentioned document accom-
panied the letter of which the foregoing is the substance."—
