Nv part of he kingdom in the Castcil
del Carmiuo and if these hell-hounds
had got loose, they would, as il were,
have torn tie unhappy Nlplcs into pie
Ces.
In this crisis the citizens formed out
of their body a powerful guard, 10 which
several ol HE officers OF the scattered
regiments associated themselves, and
these we're the saviours of the city. The
prisoners in the Castell del Carmine,
through the Righteousness of one Of
the keepers, had disraeumbered them-
selves of their iettors, aud had penelra-
ted already into the first court, when the
civic guard, in tho greatest haste, plant
cd some howltzcfs on the roof OF the
adjoining house and partly from this
spot with grenades, partly through the
grating IS he windows with small arms,
I'D among those peopio, TN those who
were not either Killed 81 wounded, vol-
unfairly lied back 10 ihen cells. An
expedition, Just as quickly, and with tie
same success, was undertaken against
the Laz2aroni; wherever any Of these
poor devils were found, they fired a.
mong them without Discrimination and
it is very credible that many OF them
we're sacrificed 10 private revenge al
though they, on their part, had provided
themselves with stones, pisiol. aud dag
gers, and helped many a one out of
the civic guard into the next world. AT
last, after an anxious week, the Ausui-
ans marched III, in file as broad as the
whole Toledo, drove al once all the
rabble out Of This important street, aud
placed several plcqucttes Of Hungarian
h6ssars at the corners OF the streets,
which sull presented a considerable
multitude Of Lazzaroni, on which the
quiet of the place was restored. Not
withstaudng this, nothing could repress
their furious irregularities bat The Sicli-
an cockade they tore, for instance,
from every soldier the French orders,
winch conduct many of them atoned for
with their lives; their leader was a iana-
teal parson.
On Sunday, after the new Bourbon
government was established, anl al WAS
supposed to be quiet, 4 great body OF
bazzaron marched 10 Portici, and de-
slrcd that the castle there, which had
boon sumptuou,iy furnished BY Murat
and his caasort, should he ven up 10
them TO plumber. The Casteln, more
dead than alyc, implofcd them f.
Gods sake to restrain, rs it belongeI
10 their beloved King Ferdinand lhey,
on the contrary, persisted, aud m1iHilH-
cd that II had ouce been the prom =
Of Joachlin (foba Iii GlavacElno) ana ~
such, fell 10 them. During these p4f-
leysa squadron Of hnssats arrived, for
whom the CASTELAR, h d sent "A courier,
! and cut down some of these patriots F.; on
which they Withdrew.
As all then plans were thus frustra-
ted, they were very much erloycd at 50
peaceful change of government, cur
sed the whole revolution, and they were
often heard bitterly complaining-' Ne
yer was such misery betore--we respet-
table people were not Commemorative
have done no harm
The viyacily Of these classes Of the
people is also extraordinary-they as
cribe "A soul to every thing aud IN this
manner curse the soul Of tho eiiren, OF
the bread, of the the table, and even Of
their ancestors and Of Christ HID we
known OF The furious aproar Of the Nca-
Dolitan mob, we should by no means
have wondered at The order Of Gen.
Nieprey, which we red in Mes,ina, just
before our departure; IN which, FOR The
maintenance Of public tranquility during
the great festival, which was appointed
for the celebration Of Fefdlnand's re-
urn, the General prohibited al Neapo-
litans, under the penalty death, from
carrying any arms.
