The Neapolitan Gazette, the _Monitore del Regno delle Due Sicilie_, was never seen by any chance, though I cannot suppose its circulation was directly interdicted.

The communication between Rome and Naples was, and is, scanty in the extreme.

During the last ten years, about ten miles of the Pio-Centrale Railroad, the Neapolitan line, have been opened.

At present beyond Albano the works are entirely at a stand-still, and there are still some thirty miles of line, between Rome and the frontier, of which hardly a sod has been turned.

The Civita Vecchia line has only been completed in consequence of the pressure of the French authorities, and the Ancona-Florence line is still in _statu quo_.
