NEAPoLITAN CLAIMS.

from tne agents OF our Government al
Paris, to the agents of the Government
t,t NV York, seapolitan claims,
we are gratified TO perceive that the gov.
rrnment of Naples has performed, with
good faith, the stipulatons of its treaty,
and has proudly and honorabIy shown
that it will allow no precedent to give
sanction to violation of the sacred prln-
ciples of honor and integrity, which,
among nations, constitutes the only peace
FIJI compacts.
The American agent In Paris writes:
"Our last respects were Of the 10th
ult. We have now the pleasure to an
nounce that we, four days since, receive
ed information that the bill we drew up
on the Ntapolitan Minister of Finance.
was duly houored, and TO day, that it
has been integrally paid; we shall accor.
dinghy, 10 a few days, receive here the
amour, thereof, which is 1886
By this first instament being thus
paid, with the gross interest, the princi-
pal which had before been acknowledge
ed is row fully confirmed. The differ
ence which we in our last mentioned that
this makes in favor Of the claimants, was
calculated only at per cent. per an
mum, simple interest; even at that rate,
with the accommodating interest, which
ought also TO be calculated, this differ
ence amounts to 900 600.
By the next packet, the Rhone, to sail
on the 10th, we shall expedite to you
t 100000 il Napoleops, which is the ex-
ten, Of the amout which you have direct
ed us to send by any one vessel. By
the packet of the Gath. we shall expe-
dlte an equal sum, and the balance by
the packet Of line first of Novombor."
We have no doubt the fidelity with
which Naples has executed her engage
mems with our country, will lead TO
much more intimate and profitable com
merciai relations between the countries
than have heretofore existed. We
should not be SURPRISED to see the ap-
pointmenr of representative Of our
government at the court of Naples, au-
thorised by Congress-, for the purpose Of
extending and facilitating our CONNER
cial intercourse with Italy generally,
which we learn from American gentle
men who visited Italy, and have given
special attention to the commerce of the
countries in its present state, might be
greatly increased and with mutual ad-
vantage.
The efforts of the mercantile classes,
in common with the political factions
among US, to emharra,s the administra
ton Of General Jackson-to defeat his
measures-to make the impression, by
rendering abortive for the time, even his
foreign negotiations, that his labors were
Profitless to the nation, have had
strong Influence in weakening the force
of our just claims, no, only to the respect,
but to the justice of foreign powers
When the leading opposition senator,
an aspirant to the presidency, proclaim
ed thatwe "zcere an the midst Of reDolu
tion," and when his voice was reverbe
rated along the sea shore, from all the
presses of the great institution among
US, which is in alliance with the money
dealers-of Europe, upon the government
Iof the old continent are now almost ha
bitually dependent, we are not to be
surprised that stipulations, made With
our government which from such rep
RESERVATIONS appeared to be in no con
dition to enforce them, should lose some
thing Of their obligation-and the more
Especially, as that class of the commu-
nifty most interested in them, was seen
most eagerly engaged in discrediting and
destroying the weight Of an administra
ltion, to which they were entirely indeht-
ed for the recognition Of their rights,
and to which they looked for their en-
forcement if denied.
That Naples should have come for
ward with her instalment, under such
circumstances, and scorn to follow the
example set by its great neighber, or to
listen to the interested suggestions to
whichthe conduct Of the factions in this
country was so well calculated to give
rise, speaks we'll for the wisdom and
public virtue of its administration, and
will doubtless make a very favorable i'm
preston for its character on this, if not
on the other side Of the Atlantic.
