Yesterday morning we were informed
OF the approach @. the enemy, and at about IL
O'Clock \. NJ. they landed at the village called
the Narrows, with flag There were six
barges, containing two hundred and twenty
men. They demanded (bcfore the proper
authority could arive) all the public proper
ty-and declared, that in case they were mo-
Tested, every house within their reach should
be Consumed. We we're not prepared to make
any opposition and promised not to. To pre-
vent violation on our part, they detained 4
number ofmen and boys as prisoners fol- their
notwithstanding that if any of their nkn
were injured, they should be put to immediate
death. Having stationed sentries back of tie
village, they proceeded to fire the vessels and
Cotton Mandatory. Twelve vess, Is were,
fired, FIVE of which were totally destroyed
the remainder were extinguished after the
enemy departed-The Cotton Mandatory
was also extinguished Damage estimated at
Twenty-Five Thousand dollhrS. 1t is suppos-

Or the Vce.Roy TO the People Of Italy.
People " fhe Kingdom Of Haiy For three
months we have been SO happy as 10 preserve
the greater part OF your territory from inya-
sion. For near three months The Neapolllans
have soiemnly promised US their aid and how
could we have mlstrustcd their promises !!
Their Sovereign is united by blood 10 the
great man 10 which he and myself owe every
thing and this great man IS this day less
happy
Conhding in the words of the NcapolitaDs,
II has been pcrmIttcd to us to hope that the
efforts which we have made TO this moment,
would not be lost, and that the enemy would
soon be Obliged 10 retire beyond our frontier.
People of the Kingdom OF Italy, Will you
believe II The NeapolitAns, they have also
this day deceived all our wishes ard all our
hopes
Ia the mean time, il has been in presenting
Themselves as allies, that they have been per-
nitted To penetrate upon our territory, and to
occupy many of our departments
In The mean time, we have received them
Us brothers, we have opened To them with ca
gerness our magazines and our Golfers, our
arsonais and our places
And as The price Of this confidence, as the
reward of our sacrifices, il is upon the same
spot whore their arms ought 10 unite 10 ours,
that they tender the hand TO the ioreigner,and
Eaisc against US their standards !!
incxorable history will tell, without coubt,
one day, all the intrigues, all the causes that
must have been necessary thus to mlsiead
Sovereign, already too much distinguished by
his vaior not TO possess all the other virtues
OF soldier.
People of the Kingdom Of Italy, we will
conceal nothing, the detection of the Ncapo-
iitans has cruelty augmented the difficulties of
our situation bus we fear not to say, the
more difficult our situation is, the more our
courage ought to rise.
You will rally round the son Of your Sover-
cign you will conhde in the Justice and the
sanciity OF your cause you will march at the
voice OF him, who carries you all in his heart,
and who neyerhas had any other ambition,
you know, than To concur in all means 10 in
crease yourglory and support your prosperity
Italians ! those only are immortals, even
IN the esteem and in the annals of foreign ma
fions, who know how TO live and to die faith
ful TO their country and sovereign, faithful to
their duties and their oaths, faithful 10 graft
