FROM NAPLES.
The Duke de Gallao, the Neapoiitan
minister, who was despatched with the
ultimatum of the allied sovereigns from
Laybach, arrived at Naples on the 9Th
of February. The following is what
took place on his arrival, as stated in a
letter dated the 18th -
On the outside of the city gate he en-
cred his private carriage, and proceed
led Immediately to the Parliament, who
according to instructions previously CIV
IN by him were already assembled.
Before he could finish reading the utti-
natun, of the Congress at Laybach, he
was interrupted by reiterated cries OF
sWar! War! War; from all parts OF
the assembly. l have not seen copy
of the ultimatum, but learn that the fol-
lowing are the principal points Contain
ed in it -
/. That the Neapolitans shall abandon
the Spanish constitution, and adopt that
Of the British nation, with some correc-
tons and notifications suitable to Ma
lples.
2. That during the period while this
reorganization shall be eGecting, and for
six years afterwards, the capital OF the
kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and all the
fortresses, shall be occupied by Austrian
garrisons.
8. On these conditions general am
nesty will be accorded. And,
4. The pay and subsistence OF the
Austrian troops will not be at the charge
of the Neapolitan nation.
| The circulation nf the terms OF the
ultimatum produced the highest degree
of excitement IN the public mind. The
military dispositions are proceeding with
the greatest activity. Gen. Guglelmo
Pope commands in the Abruzzi; Ar
covito, in San Germano; Carascosa and
Ambroso are marching on to Rome,
where they are expected TO arrive on the
18th. F'ilangieri will remain in Naples
with the reserve. The Prince Vicar
General will be at that point1w where his
presence shall be found most essential.
Bergani commands at Gaeta. The regu-
lar troops at Naples amount to $4,000
infantry, and o,Ooo cavalry, with good
supply of artillery. The militia are csti-
mated to amount to 100000 men. FL
nally, great reliance is placed on the
public spirit and known courage Of the
Neapolitan citizens and peasants, in the
event of its being found necessary to
have recourse to the system of Cue
ril,as."
No blood had been shed, although the
Austrians had advanced into the heart OF
the Roman territory, evidently for the
purpose of invading Naples should the
band of despots give the signal to un-
sheath the sword. The Pope, it appears
has declared neutral; declaration,
which, nowadays, will have no effect
upon his brethren ofthe Holy fraternity,
and it is now more than probable, was is
sued from hypocritical motives. The
Austrian force, is evidently greatly ex-
aggeratcd. Private letters, from Italy
say that it does not exceed 100000 men.
We have not seen it before stated at
more than $4,000. The Neapolitans are
estimated at l6o, 900.
