OCT. 19STATE OF NAPLES.Naples, Aug. 3.—Our city vu the day before yeatarday again defiled with impunity by sixty-four murders, committed against persona reputed as belonging to tbe Legitimist party. Cardinal Riario Sforza, Archbishop of Naples, a true type of charity and of virtue, was arrested and forcibly led on board a steam corvette, tbe Tancred, and sent to Civita Vecehia. Forty ecclesiastics, among whom are several Bishops, have shared tbe same fate. On tbe passing of these victims of Piedmontese tyranny, tbe people shed tears and invoked the intercession of tbe patron Saint of Naples. Nevertheless, a few wretches, the refuse of our population, in tbe pay of the police, set up groans and insulting cries against the Cardinal and his companions in exile, and then most appropriately went to thank the Dictator, Cialdini, applauding under the windows of the Forestena Palace, where he resides during the day. Terror and arrests without limit continue. Two ladies were arrested yesterday morning in the street. The editors of the Pietra InfernaXc, the Corritrt, the Araldo, and the Settimona, have been thrown into prison without any legal form, and tbeir journals suppressed. These journals, either Ultra-liberal or Legitimist, were guilty of exposing Piedmontese tyranny. Meanwhile the Sardinian troops con* tinue to overrun tbe provinces, setting everything on fire, pillaging and murdering. The orders of Cialdini are that those taken with arms in their bands are to be shot, and that tbe towns and villages which have given shelter to tbe royalist bands are to be levelled to the ground. The “ Generals” Pinelli and Galatore overrun the Abruzzi and tbe Pulia like true barbarians, without leaving anything undestroyed on tbeir way. On tbe 29th and 30th of July, Royalist columns and the insurgent masses in various localities, in accordance with a general order, atiacked simultaneously the Piedmontese troops and National Guards, who are obliged to support the former, on every point in our several provinces. The Royalists gained a signal success. In the Cahbrias, especially near Carlopoli, the Garibaldian volunteers, the National Guards, and the Piedmontese, were completely routed. Finally, at Aulotta an obstinate fight took place in tbe town and its environs, and victory remained on tbe Neapolitan aide, who after a brilliant engagement occupied with considerable forces tbe bridge of Camputrino, one of the strongest strategical positions in the kingdom, which commands the way to the Calabrias. The country about Naples is in tbe power of the insurgents, who have established their general quarters at Salerno, where several thousands of the riflemen of the old Neapolitan army are grouped, and are in possession of several field-pieces of artillery, which are admirably served by former artillerymen. On the confines of the Abruzzi and the Terra di Lavoro, the important town of Sora is invested on all aides by the Neapolitans, and the Piedmontese are intrenched there behind barricades — Wetkly Register.
