FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Dates TO the Ilth of October

S.h October the Arabia, at Boston, with dates
from Liverpool to the 18th; and the Hermann,
with dates anticipated by the former arrivals.
The most interesting intelligence concerns
the Neapolitan controversy.
Parliament was prorogued on the 7th.
The English telegraph companies gave
banquet to Professor Morse, in London, on the
9th. w. F. Cooke, Esq, presiding.
Professor Morse has succeeded ia telegraph

graph of the English and Irish Company
distance of 1000 miles, at the rate of two hun
dred and ten signals per minute, thus proving
the practicabiity of an Atlantic communica
ton.
The London papers are filled with discussions
of the financial prospects of Europe. The
Times says of the advance in Bank rates
"Supposing prudent counseis prevail, the only
consequence OF the change will be, that the
artificial purchase of gold which the Bank of
France is now driven TO make in London viii
cease, and that our discount market will return
| to an easier position, according to the progress
towards general revival of confidence on the
| continent. Assuming, on the contrary, an in
| tation in Paris from increased paper issues
| gold will be drained thence to this and other
countries, and great buoyancy in trade, coupled
| with an increasing abundance of money, must
| be anticipated here"
| Naples. The direct news from Naples to
the 10Th ultimo, intimates that the King is still
! determined to resist all demands and remon-
| strances, but the German papers report that the
| King has been induced TO make certain con.
cessions, and that General de Martini, the
| Austrian Ambassador at Naples, will, it is
hoped, complete what Baron de Hubner has
| commenced.
H. al. l. Il. IL
| sued by Austria, France, and England, towards
Naples, since the conferences, expresses its be.
| lief that the wrongs committed by King Ferdi-
nand have been exaggerated, and that the
Government, instead of keeping two or three

| persons condemned or accused on political
grounds
! As soon (adds the De5ats) as the protocol
| of the sitting held on the 9Th of April by TIE
Congress of Paris was known at Naples, the
| King ordered more than the half of his captives
| to be set at liberty, so that, when Austria took
| Its first step, less than one hundred were then
LETT IN the prisons. Since the representations
made by Austria, France. and England, the
King is stated TO have granted fresh pardons,
shrouding himself ell along in profound mystic
| ry conceiving that In this manner be recon
clled what the safety of his country requires,
| with what he believes he owes to his personal
dignity.
The Posts Paris correspondent writes on
| Monday evening: "If | am correctly informed,
dispatches must have reached London, showing
the necessity of Immediately sending vessels to
Naples, for the protection of British subjects.
There seems no doubt that the police of the
Court, headed by Campagnia, have received
/ rdoro 10 tho h.
view of attacking the property of any one who
may be pointed out by their leaders. The
lazzaroni of certain quarters of the city are
said to have already received money from the
Court"
FrGnce.-Rumor assigns to Russia an nteIl-
ton of having squadron at Nice ostensibly
as marine escort to the Empress Dowager
of course, ready to sail for Naples. The des-
tiny of an Austrian go uadron recently at Malta
is said to be Naples but the Frankfort journals
deny the truth of the story. The report that
Sardinia will send small squadron is again
revived.
The French journals speak of "a very strong
note which Count Buol is said to have ad.
dressed to the Courts of Paris and London, to
call their most serious attention to the grave
responsibility they might incur by giving effect
to their naval demonstration against the capital
of the two Siciles." The passage stating that
the King will prove how enthusiastically his
subjects love him is explained by report con-
tanned in the Paris correspondence of the Morn.
ing Post.
" 1t is asserted that Austria has agreed with
Naples to get mp political demonstrations in
various parts of Italy, ahould the English and
French fleets appear in the Bay of Naples.
These demonstrations will be organized by the
police, and are to express republican opinions.

Austria will thus turn to the Western Powers.
and exclaim, You see what your interference
has done-you have encouraged republicanism
throughout Italy! ,"
The Times Vienna correspondent says that
the general impression was that Russia would
not cede Belgrade.
The Austrian Gazette says that the King of
| Naples has written letter to Queen Victoria
and the Emperor Napoleon, expressing desire
to take part in the new conference at Paris.
Advices from Constantinople soy that the mis-.
understanding concerning the Isle of Serpents
is likely to bring the French feet back again.
Some Austrian ships Of war have gone to the
Island.
The monthly return of the Bank of France
shows decrease of bullion equal to two and a
half million pounds sterling, but the deficit has
not caused so much depression as was antici-
pated.
The Congress for the settlement of the points
OF disagreement between Russia and the Allies
will forthwith assemble in Paris, at the hotel
OF Foreign Affairs. 1t is anticipated that the
whole matter will be arranged in one or two
sittings.
Topographic accounts say that the Austrians
1000 strong have occupied Gaata and other
points on the Danube If this is true, and Tur.
key has consented to the occupation, the Danu-
ban commissioners will return home. 1t is.
however, expected that Austria will be called
on to evacuate the Principalities at once, by
the Congress at Paris, and that she can adopt
no other course than obey.
A despatch from Vienna, of the eth instant,
says:
