Mr. LORD: a short time ago / forwarded 70 your

lice directing the Intendants 10 arrest without hesita-
,iop the persons against whom there might be even
simple grohBss Iur snspicion.
The Government have .hown themselves deter

arrest men upon whom suspicion of taking part N
any conspiracy can fall.

Prince Torells received letter desiring him TO at

nothing doubling and was there told TO consider him.

made no resistance but asked leave TO be allowed 70
return home 10 make his preparations, and TO take
leave Of very aged mother but this indulgence was
refused him, could he obtain any information with
regard 20 the crime imputed 10 him.
The arrest however, Of the Prince, and the unver-
cal conviction that qualification could be given for
IT, produced great effect upon all classes, that
the night he was set at liberty and allowed 10 re-
turn home.
We are now told that II was all a mistake
His brother the Marquis Bella, euied the pursuit
of the police, but IL has been conveyed 10 hum that he
mnst leave the country.

self but be has since been allowed TO return home;
and in bis case, like that of Prince Tores, the order

There are Likewise two Marquises Monte Ross and

lilies depending entirely upon them for their Of
subsistence, and who will now be feft penniess and
dependent upon charity.
During the afternoon and night Of yes,erday the
town was patroled and the troops kept under arms,
but sort Of disturbance took place, though the Gov
eminent affirm that they had positive proof IN there
TO be dangerous Demonstration and that sedi
tous handful had been posted up.
Whatever evidence may be sufficient TO satisfy the
Government of the existence Of plots conspraces, it
s certain that the proofs not such would bear
the light but the denunciaons Of spies are received
ss conclusive, and the accused are summary ordered
into bansbment untried and unheard.

Tuesday Of the steps have taken with the hitherto
vain hope Of inducing the Government TO pause In
course which, IL persisted in. must finally lead TO the
destruction Of the King and of his dgyP pssHy ELLIOT

NAPLES March 3.
MY LORD: took the earliest opportunity of seeing
NJ Caraf TO inquire the Of the arrests mentioned
in my dispatch Of yesterdays date and to ask whether
the country in eminenty critical state to
call for such extreme measures, directed against
who could scarcely be seriously suspected Of conspiracy
or treason.
M. Carafa repeated, as he has 30 often done BEFORE
that the Government felt uneasiness, but that they
had received undoubted information of the intention Of
the partisaps of annexation to Sardinia of making
demonstration which il would have been necessary
suppress by orce and that 10 avoid bloodshed, the
preventive which had alluded 10 had been
taken; and his Exceency trumphanty pointed 10 the
tranquility with which the day had passed conclu
siye evidence in favor of the course adopted.
said that, of course, If the Government had the
rIoef which he said they possessed Of conspiracy to
violate the law they could not be blamed for arrestng
the persoDs implicated; but trusted there was no
truth in the report that those persons instead OF being
openly brought TO trial. where their guilt innocence
might be proved in the face Of day, 10 be SUM-
mary transported or exiled without trial or examina
tion. .....,...
To my regret, however, n. Carafa replied that such
was the decision Of the Governments for that although
they had proofs sufficient TO satisfy themselves Of the
guilt Of the persons arrested the evidence not such
as would procure q conviction in Court Of Justice.
In palmer words" ! answered. "you have re.
solved to accept conclusive the denuneations of
spes whom You dare not bring face TO face with the
accufed" and this, without apparent ahaue, N. Carafs
frankly admitted be the state Of the case repeating
that he was aware they CO.. aid procure legal con.
vction, but that they had doubt whatever Of the
guilt OF the accueed.
I asked whether he or any one else could believe
that man like Prince Torella would be leader In
seditious but childish demonstration and be at once re
pied that be did believe IT, and that the Princes
ansn had been an " error which was speedily rem
idled.
