e Carascosa, child of tn army, is the
son of captain, who was formerly in the
service Of Ferdinand w. The young Caras-
cosa took part for the liberty of Naples IN
| 1898. and was among tine inhabitants who
retired into the fort Del Ovo, the capltula-
ton of which was not respected. Nearly all
persisted on the scafold, against the laws OF
honor and of war, and in violation of sworn
faith. Carascosa succeeded in escaping, and
lived in obscurity till the return OF the
French to the kingdom of Naples in 1906 !;
he then entered into the new army and was
chef de battalion in the first regiment OF the
Neopolitan line, when that regiment receiv
ed an order to repair to Spain in the month
of June 1903. He was wounded at the heac
ofthat corps in 1919. In the attack in which
Gen. FiIangeri was wounded, Carascosa,
thrown from his horse, almost persisted,
while making the same efforts and giving
the same example to encourage the troops.
This general is esteemed as a soldier, but he
has little information his temper is gloomy
and almost savage he conceals, under an
apparent calmness, a restless ambition but
he knows how TO wait for an opportunity,
and prepare with deliberation what he ex-
ecutes with rapidly. Dangerous as SUBJ
iect, 1t is to be feared that he will not be
dreaded as a citizen. tits, however, due to
him in justice to say, that be has always ex-
pressed patriotic sentiments. Under Joach-
i'm Murat, as well as under Ferdinand, he
has not ceased to demand constitution for
his country, and more than once it was by
this demand that he began and ended his
conferences with those princes. In answer,
in 1903, to Gen. Ambrosia, who complained
of not being chosen aid de camp by Joseph,
passing from the thron ne of Naples TO that OF
Spain, Carascosca wrote
'.It seems that The plan of King Joseph is
to take bis off GERS from among the mobiles OF
the country. Now, neither you nor have
Spanish parchments to boast of. 10 get on,
then, with him, it would be necessary to en-
ter into bis troops which it would, suppose,
be easy enough to accomplish by help OF
some recommendations and il might in the
end be advantageous to you. But is it only
your own interest that you seek in such pro.
iects? Are you selfish to that degree that
YOU have no other views than your own IN
terest and must confound you in the
crowd of beings with whom Europe is over
gorged, to whom their country is that place
where their personal welfare is advanced
You are indebted to your country tor the
employment of the talents of whchIt has
developed the germ-tor the glory which
you are capable OF acquiring-tor the means
OF success which have marked, with happy
pressges, your first steps in the path OF arms
Blush, my friend, at the thought of abandon
ing the country where we have received the
liehl-to which we owe every thing. 1t Is
not altogether happy; this is an additional
reason for loving it, You have often repeat
ed this truth to me did not meet with it
in your last letter, which | have torn to
pieces"
The duke OF Campo Chiaro unites to TIA
Ian fnesse, more probily, fraDkness and
good faith, than are to be expected from
man who has been minister of general po-
lice under Joachim. The duke was his mi
Mister a, the congress OF Vienna, during the
events ofl8l5. and but for the hasty and im-
prudent steps of tue king, would probably
have succeeded in securing him deGnitively
the possession of the throne which he held.
