SWITZERLAND, JULY ea.
The Papal Nuncio at Lucerne is said to have re-
ceived information of the events at Naples, by atr
express from his Court. The foreigners are reported
to be • "my obnoxious to the people, especially the
Austrians and English, who are considered as enemies
to the new .order of things. The persons formerly
arrested for their political opinions, but who were
subsequently set at liberty, have for some time past
committed various excesses in the capital, which were
in a measure 'the prelude to the events that have since
Occurred. They are supposed 'to have been secretly
in the pay of the, Carbonari, and to have beets set
on by them. •
The Governor of Rome, Pacco, nephew to the
Cardinal, and who lately fled from Rome, is reported
to have been a leader of the Carbon;ri, and since he
left Rome, to have lived secretly in the kingdom of
Naples, to have directed the intrigues, and prepared
everything for the explosion. It is further stated,
that Rome was to have been the central point of the
Revolution, but that a Priest, who was arrested, dis-
closed to his Confessor the secret plots of the Gover-
nor, who, being informed of the discovery, hastened
to take flight. Notwithstanding this, a fermentation
is said to have been observed in some towns in the
Papal dominions—nay, even in Rome itself.

VIENNA, JULY 9.7.
EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER PUBLISHED IN A

BELGIC JOURNAL.
Since the day on which the extr aordigary courier
dispatched by our Legation at Rome brought here the
news of the Revolution accomplished in Naples, esta-
fettes farm. Italy have rapidly succeeded each others
and their dispatches have every day contributed to
augment the strong impression which the events pass-
ing in that country have produced amongst us.—
Prince Metternich, after a conference with the Em-
peror, repaired in great haste to this capital, to give
orders to the Aulic Chancellary, which superintends
the Government of Italy : since then, great activity
has been remarked in that department. Orders have
been dispatched to all our southern Provinces, and
it is presumed that a military movement is about to
take place.
6' M. Campo Chiaro, now Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs at Naples, is well known here. He was deputed
to Vienna during the first Congress, and defended
with energy the interests of King Joachim. Our
Court Gazette is still silent on the affairs at Naples,
and the Amstrian Observer is the only Paper which
has spoken in such a manner as to disclese the views
of our Cabinet on the Revolution. The article inserted
is one of its numbers may be regarded as official, as
the Editor, M. Von Pilat, is Prince Metternich's Pri-
vate Secretary. It is needless to describe the terms
in which it is conceived: it is sufficient to state, that
it is full of that monarchical spirit which prepared
the conventions of Carlsbad.

" Our Government regards with the most lively
apprehension the events which are passing in Lower
Italy► The Carbonari are known to have been the
principal'authors of the Revolution, and their party
is very numerous in Upper Italy. It is feared that
the example given by the Neapolitans may become
epidemic. The police practises great vigilance in
after the three colours, the distinctive mark
of the party which is so much dreaded. At Milan
and Venice the attention of the Magistrates has been
directed to a great number of persons who wear tri-
coloured ribands to their watches. A state of mind
is observed to prevail in Bologna, and other towns of
Lombardy, which is very unsatisfactory. It is as-
serted that a great number of the Officers of the Sar-
dinian army are- Carbonari ; and that -there are
secret associations in Genoa and Piedmont which
are employed in making arrang,ernents for changing
the existing order of things. It is considered here
that Austria can by no means regard with indiffe-
rence the establishment of a new system in Italy, so
contrary to the spirit of her Government and her po-
litical views. It has been asserted, that a numerous
army will soon be directed towards that countty ;
but to-day some :ire of opinion that our Government
will for the present confine itself to reinforcing the
corps in our-Italian provinces, and the garrisons of
Lombardy.

" The Pope having fallen dangerously ill, and the
report of his approaching death being credited, it
was at first announced that a corps of Austrian
troops would immediately occupy the States of the
Church, and take cantonments on the frontiers of
Naples ; but the report is now contradicted. Mean-
while the negotiations between our Court and Russia
continue, and the frequent interchange of couriers
proves that matters of great importance are under
consideration. Much is said respecting an interview
expected to take place between the King of Prussia,
the Emperor of Russia, and our Emperor, at Pest,
in Hungary, where great military manoeuvres are to
be performed. The events of Naples appear to have
determined this new conference of the three Sove-
reigns, which was at first to have taken place at
Bniin, was afterwards fixed for Prague, but has
since been adjourned, in consequence of a message
from the Emperor Alexander, who intimated that he
could not leave Russia during the summer.
" An announcement is made here of a new Jour-
n7l, under the title of-Concert/ix, and the tendency
of srhich is to be politico-religious. It will be endea-
voured to make Religion support the system of legi•
timacv, and the existing order of things will be ex-
hibited as founded on, and maintained by, the princi-
ples of the Christian Religion. M. Schlegel, who is
employed in the Chancellary under Prince Metter-
nich, and who was formerly Austrian Counsellor of
Legation to the Diet Of Frankfort, is to be the prin-
cipal. Editor. He will have for colleagues, M.
• Frederick Von Gewz, Austrian Aulic-Counsellor ;
)41: Adam Muller, hitherto Austrian Consul-General
at'Leipsic ; and M. Werner, the famous Ecclesiastic,
radii a Pliest. All these Gentlemen are apostates
from the Protestant Religion, and from their names,
it may easily be conjectured, what will be the poli-
tical spirit of their Journal.
"The news of the Neapolitan Revolution has pro-
' &iced do material change in our Funds. Only some
slight fluctuation was observed within these few days.
Fin this fact we wish to conclude that there is no
'Jenson to fear a foreign war, and that we may con-
fidently look forward to the continuance of peace.'
