Bourbon Intrigucs and Hopes Of the Exiled
Neapoiifans--Assaults on Italian Unity
Papal Army Prospects.
ROME, June q, 1865.
The Neapolitan Bourbons cling to Rome as their
last rock OF refuge upon Italian soil Francis II is still
infatuated enough to dream Of restoration and is In
cessantly busy in receiving and despatchng his ennis
saries. IL is his hired agents among the dependents
OF the old regime md his numerous volunteers
among the clergy who in Sicily and the Neapotan
provinces strive assiduousy to fan the embers Of
discomfort into fame, which II ever kndled Will be
quickly quenched In the blood OF the poor tools who
allow themselves to be carried so far. That some
such mad rising may take place IN Sicily Is only too
probable, as there the elements for 1t are most
abundant.
The present Italian administration may be unsatis-
factory enough in some respects, but what would
Naples gain by the restoration Of Bourbon rule ?
Let the history Of the Two scilies answer,
or let us look at the system working
undcfour eyes In the happy realm OF the most Catho
lie Isabella. Some Neapolitan peasants-most prob
ably escaped brigands or dsserters from the con-
scription-have "a tely found their way TO Rome and
made touching offers OF devotion TO their former
sovereign-for consideration. This Is enough for
his fallen Majesty to believe fcfvently that Laroche
jaquelin's heroic struggle IN La Nendee will shortly
find its parallel In The Neapolitan provinces. "A
brave and loyal peasastry only want leader around
whom TO rally: the masses ripe for revolt against
the usurpiug rule OF savoy, and 80 ON. While Fran
els H. encourages hope by the paid loyalty OF peas
ants and brigafls, the Marquis Ulioa publishes
pamphlets In Paris demonstrating the failure OF
Italian unity and the wisdom and necessity OF break
