stopped purchasing, and the inhabitants
we'll supplied, the article OF flour could
not be disposed of; the best would fetch
no more than or ten dollars. Several
cargoes remained unsold. Ca t. L. saw

rFrsm the :Nac-York Ecening Post.l

The facts contained in the following
letter may be relied upon. We are per-
sonally acquainted with the writer VINO
arrived here last Saturday IN inc Dris
Fairy, from Algesiras. His letter is dated
Brig Fairy, Sandy Hook, July H. 1911.
I arrived in Naples the fore part Of
November, 1910, and left it in April fol-
lowing, 1911, during which period there
arrived FIVE American vessels, four OF
them with cargoes, and the whole con-
fiscated and mostl, sold as follows:
The ship Henry, capt. Gardner, OF and
from Boston. with valuable cargo OF
logwood, sugar, coffee 6c.-Joseph Hale
supercargo.
Brig Alexander, capt. Picket, of and
from Newburyport, loaded principally
with coffee, &c. Mr.. Alexander RlchaFds,
part owner and supereargo.
Schooner Oceanna, of and from Bos-
ton, with very rich cargo OF nankeens'
indigo, &c. Mr.. Waldo supercarSo.
The fine coppered schooner Alert, capt
e. w. Gelston, of and from New York,
loaded with sugar, coffee, Goldfish, DC. con,
fiscated at Galipoli. The crew arrived
at Naples. having crossed the country on
foot. These, with an American snip IN
ballast, from Tunis, that was also confis-
Gated and sold, were the only Americans
that arrived during the above period.
These condemnations took place IN
| March, soon after the information was re-
| ceived there of our government having
interdicted the trade with England anu
opened free intercourse with France
! and her dependencies. J,
As no process or form of trial is used
| in the plumber of American property IN
Naples, and no reasons given for such In
discriminate violations of neutral rights
| it was presumed there, the coniscatlons
took place on the ground of its being A.
merican property. The whole work IS
finished by the directions OF the KING,
who orders the property to be sold, and
when our consul, alexander Hammett'
ESQ applies for copies OF these oraefS'
he is uniformly refused.
In no instance is any provision made by
the government of Naples for the crews
of American vessels-they are turned on
shore pennyless, and left to get home as
they ean.-go into his majesty's service or
staPve.
Cuuscripts VI tho country people VI
peasants, were arriving almost daily AZ
Naples, in droves of from 10 to i0o.-The
method of marching them is this: Ar
iron collar is fastened round the neck with
staple, through which passes small l.
ron chain made for the purpose, by which
means they are secured and prevented
from escaping. This is the uniform prae-
tice, except in few instances, when they
are fastened by the thumbs, and connected
together also by chains.
Amoredejected, miserable set ofwretch,
es never beheld, covered with dirt and
| rags. TO add to your commiseration tor
the oppression of your fellow creatures
thus debased and insulted-he must have
heart as hard as their oppressors' who
would not feel for their miserable condl-
ton, particularly when you behold their
AGED mothers following them in tears, and
carrying scanty morsel to subsist them
l on the road.

Daring attack Of Free triuaseers.
At noon this day, there were two French
privateers lying in the roads, ore of which
made an attempt in the open lace of day, sld
in the presence of some hundreds Of persons
collected on the beach, to capture d eit
brig coming from the westward, and which
was hardly more than stones throw from
the batteries In fact the priyatecr was at
ore time every thing but ashore. The bate.
ries to the westward of the harbor were in.
stantlv manned and some admirable shots
fred which though they did rot succeed in
sinking the priyateer, had the effect Of driving
her away, and the brig proceeded on to the
Downs in safety.
"Sic O'Clock, p. M-The priyateers have
renewed their attack on large ship just
come up, and are firing vollies OF small arms
into her. The batteries have opened a tire
mendous firing upon the privateers
"Fifieen minutes fa2t sir.-l have just
been informed the ship is captured"
Accounts have been received at Lloyd's,
confirming the above.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 8.
With the port letters Of this morning, we
have been favored with communication from
an officer on board admiral Young's ship, in
which, it is said, that no person attached to
the fleet in waiting in the Downs, whatever be
his rank, is permitted on any pretext, to so
on shore and this has given rise to the OPT
Mon that ministers are in full expectation Of
some naval enterprise by the enemy.

War DEPARTMENT, Dec. 10, 1871.
S;,--In answer to your letter OF the 4th III
slant, requesting "what are the num0ef, ha-
tire and state of repair OF the tortlhcations
Of the martins frontier OF the Y. states, ana
What will be the number and character OF the
troons necessary for the defence" have tine
honor to transmit herewith general report I
exhibiting the nature, extent and condition o,
the Qualifications which have been constructed
for the defence of the maritime frontier OF the
u. States together with the full complement
of artillerists necessary to man the NUMBER
of guns therein specified. ..
Part of the carriages mounted on travelling
carriages not being included in the accomPa-
nyine report, no estimate is offered OF the num-
her ofartillerists necessary to man them.
The first intention of annexing to this re-
port the number of infantry which may be
required f.r the defence of each work, is
found to be impracticable.
The description of an enemy's force, and
the nature of his attack may be such, that no
corps of the army except artlllerlsts, VIII be
requisite they may be such as to require
body of infantry equal to the artlllerlsts; and
they may be such that the number otlhtantry
and other troops necessary to cover the ar
tillery and defend the works, must exceed by
a great proportion that of the artlllerlsts.
In this statement, the honorable committee
will perceive the reasons which render 1t inn
possible to give more precise and definite
reply to this branch of their enquiry.

MILLEDGEvILLE, (Geo.) Dec. H.

y
The following animated report, was yester.
day read before the Senate and ordered to
lie on the table. When it shall be taken
up, we hope and believe it will pass buth
branches of the Legislature unanimously
The committee on the State of the Repub.
lie, to whom was referred the Governors
Communication enclosing the President.
Message, Report, That
The important information communicated
to Congress, by the Presidents message in
relation to our foreign affairs, loudly admon-
ishes the people of this State to suffer no
circumstance to surprise their vigilance, or to
find them unengaged in suitable preparation
for any event. Congress is required to {" feel
the duty of putting the United States into an
armour, and an attitude demanded by the cli-
SIS" precaution applying so forcibly to
our own condition and interests, that it can
not fail to excite a correspondent feeling of
the necessity of a seasonable readiness. Ga
the verge of hosiiities with nations long un-
mindful of the obligations of national law, it
would be needless to eDumcrate their repeat
ed wrongs or our unsuccessful appeals to
their justice for redress. Should the destiI
MES which await the nation, compel vigor-
Gus resistance to the encroachmcnts so long
continued upon the envied prosperity of our
country, we will approach the contest, animat-
ed by the iervent conviction, that we shall be
supported by every principle of just and
honorable cause.
The conduct and character of our Federal
administration afford us the must assured
and illumined proofs Of virtuous measures &
manly Observation-Disclosures that must en-
bolden every patriot and soldier, in his pro-
gress through the trying perils Of warfare,
should he be reduced to that regretted alter
native.
1t is not now for us to repose on boosted
display OF our designs, nor to rely on a pom
pous expression of our feelings; but should
our services be required, it becomes US in the
strength of calm and united exertions, invigo-
rated by the constant sentiment Of inheXible
rectitude, to meet the deprecated struggle
withstern and unwavering contempt Of indi-
vidual danger, convinced, that truth, reason
and justice will be arraycd against guilt. fapa-
city and violence. The General Cavern
ment doubtless feels on this eventtul occasion
an anxious solcitude for knowledge Of the
temper and sensibiIi.y of the nation: we will
therefore with undissembIed cheerfulness,
hasten to declare our cordial appreciation Of
Its administration, and our confidence in It's
future determinations.
And as an honest pledge of the sincerity Of
this declaration, we do Unanimously Resolve,
that should the National Legislature in its
wisdom determine our interests, our rights,
or our honor to have been outraged beyond
the tardy remedy of negotiation, ard that
appeal to arms must be substituted, we will
under the favor Of Heaven, with our consent,
and with proud alacrity, fly to all, maintain
and support the government of our choice,
and to defend, protect and preserve our below
ed country.
