NAPLES, AUG. 18.—On the Bth instant a royal
ordinance was published, prohibiting under severe
penalties of punishment, fine, and imprisonment,
all secret associations, including of course masonic
institutions.

The extrordinftry nsisbion of Mr. Piukncy, the
American Plenipotentiary, occupies much public
attention here. The following is a brief history
of the confiscation of the American vessels by
Murat, and fur which compensation is now

claimed :
The American schooner Rait, Captain Thom-
son, of Baltimore, entered the port of Naples with
coffee, in 1809. It was sequestrated, but soon al-,
ter released on the representations of the Ameris
can Consul, Mr. F. Degen. The Marquis De
Gallo, Minister for Foreign Afrairs,-, on this wee:,
sion wrote the following letter to Mr. Degen
" Naples, Aly 9, !goo.
" SlR,—The King having taken into cousidcration your
note of the 18th of May, relative to the Anterican schooner
Ihilt, Captain Thomson, which sailed from Unwire for
Naples with a cargo of coffee, and provided with the nrcegsitel
papers in due form, has decided that the !odd vessel shall be
restored to Captain Thomson, who may make tree use of the
merchandise and property it contains At the same time his
Majesty has decided 43 4 general measure, that' all American
vessels arriving in this kingdom, directly loaded and destined
fur its ports, shall be freely admiti,l therein, provided they
arc furnished with the necessary certificates of origin, and
veiling papers, and provided they are net in contravent km of
the Royal Decrees of the 20th December, 10108., and 9th
January, Wu, retails, to English commerce and that of
neutral powers, which deerecs must be maintained in full
farce.

This letter Was sent to America ; profusely (Hs-
tr:buted there ; and was the cause that, in .1810
and 1811, many American vessels with rich car-
goes successively entered the port of Naples. They
were obliged to miload at the expence of the con-
signees, and deposit their merchandise in thepublic
warehouses, under pretence that they would not
be received in quarantine without this formality.
The customs kept one key, and gave the other to
the consignees. ‘Vhen the number of American
vends had increased to 30, the consignees had
their keys taken from them under pretence of an
order from Bnonaparte at Paris, and the mer-
chandise was sold by auction. The Minister of
Finance caused even the vessels to be sold, with
the exception of some which were kept to be
equipped for the service of Montt. 7,m Rait, for
instance, still forms part at this moment of the
fleet of Ferdinand IV. The sum produced by these
sales amounted to between four and five millions
of Naples ducats, and was applied chiefly to the
abortive expedition against Sicily.—The con-
signees had even difficulty iu recovering pay-
ment for their expellees and d:sborsements.—
The ship Hercules, Capt. West, was the only one
which had the good fortune to be released: it was
dispatched to Civita Vecchia, to take on board
Lucien Iltionaparte' anal his family, and convey
theta to America ; hut, as is well known, ha was
taken onhis route by the English., and Conducted
to Malta, and front thence to England.
It is rather remarkable that the Government of
the United States never claimed indemnity,et least
ostensibly, for these vessels, while Murat occu-
pied the throne of Naples.
