LELTER FitONI NAPLES.

NAPLES, Nov. 20.-1 have got safe here, thanks
to the Austrian posts. established the Whole way to
_Naples. After entering. the.Nettpolitan territory,
we were challenged .by their piquets, which were
at such short distances as to .be within ight'ot
each other; yet even this is not sufficient to part
down robbery. The Austrian Commander at Fondi
told me, that the brigands hovers every disy about
the roads, and when pursued by Austrians (who do
not ktiow the country) easily effect their escape.
Even the day before 1 came up, they attacked the
post of the hates douniers, on the confines, near
Terracina, and drove them in with the loss of se-
veral killed and wialuded. (eneral CHURCH was
robbed by them a few days ago, but fortunately
two of the gang wet e caught and guillotined.--
The two Oovernments, however (of Rome
and Naples), are at last beginning to take
very energetic measures. The number of
lisp here is as yet but small
only from the danger in travelling, but front
the extravagantly high price of lodgings ; the
Neapolitan nobility have taken Op the notion
of letting their palaces to the English, and retir-
ing themselves into Ike country or the garret.
I have been informed, that one encounters more
knavery and meauness.in a transactu'm with

them, thaw even with a common it ade,tnan.
The Matchioness of BoTx, who recently
ar-
rived here with her family from Leghorn, remains
at the hotel Miele I an, ; it very indifferent One,
thoogli the best in Naples. She has been asked
one thousand piastres a month (about 2700/. a-
.year). for lodgings, scarcely sufficient for a
small English tan►ily. Lord and Lady ItautuoßC
have just arrived in tl►cir beautiful yacht, sad
purpose, I believe, remaining the winter —The
Marquis of DouuLas is also arrived tram Rome,
together with Lord and Lady ME:Tit, and
Lady PowuttscOutt.r ; and these, with some
half dozen English Generals and Colonels, who
waltz with as many English young Ladies, are,
I believe, the principal English society at Naples.
Sir HARRY, IMILDMAy is here with Lady ItosE-
11811iY. They live extremely retired ; her Lady-
ship's uccouchement is hourly expected.
The same letter states the Neapolitan Ministry
to be entirely devoted to Austria.
