Memoirs Of The Freemasons Of Naples.

Before the institution of a second trial , the Marquis D'Avenu thought proper to rejiresent to the King , im a private audience , that the only means of making a ¦ discovery of the real truth would be , to interrogate privately the Polander , known by the name of Albert SayupnerSpadincorpoand the MilaneseGiovanni

, , , llho . His Majesty having consented , these persona were interrogated in the presence of the Minister of State , Marquis de Marco , and the President of Justice , Marquis de Cito . They confessed to the details we have mentioned as being correct ; and Spadincorpo petitioned for perpetual imprisonment , that he mig ht thereby

escape the revenge of Pallante , who hacl already sacrificed above a hundred "victims . His request was granted . Pallante had the mortification in an instant to see the scene entirely changed ; the foundation on ivhich he had built his plans on a sudden gave way ; the brilliant chimeras which hacl intoxicated him , became horrid spectres to his eyes ; the mask fell to the ground , and his treachery was fully discovered to the view of the

public . The first thought which offered itself to Pallante ' s imagination was that of revenge , and removing the witnesses of the truth . Massini , alias Spadincorpo , was already in safety , as just mentioned . The Milanese , Giovanni Bho , had entered into the service of a Neapolitan prince of the first ranktoo hig h a station for

, . Pallante to meddle with . There only remained the Polander , whose existence was a perpetual torment to him . The poor fellow soon after was taken ill : an insupportable pain iu his bowels would not permit him to keep his bed . His master , Count Hubsch , would not allow any one to approach him ; yet the servants of the house

declared , after his death , that they had seen him roll about on the floor , crying out that he was poisoned . That same evening he expired ; and in the middle of the night was carried , without the least ceremony , by two porters , under the conduct of a domestic belonging to Count Hubsch , to the Church of St . Marc , and thrown into a vault , according to the wretched custom of Naples . The declaration of the servants above-mentioned

spreading through the town , Ponsard , the in-enchman , presented a petition to the Eoyal Tribunal of Justice , to obtain an order for the inspection of the body . From motives which remain a secret , the search was not made . The following night , a common working mason , or plasterer , with a sack of quick-lime ; Nicolo Capellaro , a person devoted to the service of Pallantewith a- strong

, rope ; a servant , belonging to the Count , carrying a dark lantern , and the keys of the church , accompanied by a fourth person , who called himself a notary , or scrivener , all went together . Having entered , they strongly bolted the doors on themselves ; there , boldly defying the horrible darkness of

the holy place , they opened the vault . An abominable smell , ivhich issued from the vault , or , perhaps , a sort of guilty terror , prevented them from descending ; when the notary , apparently hardened by criminal actions , laughed at their fears , fastened the rope under his arms ; with one hand seized the sack with the limeand with

, the other the dark lantern , ordering them to let him down . He opened the coffin , took out the body , and poured his quick-lime upon it , which very quickly consumed it . The night scene would be well worthy the pencil of an able painter , who ivould naturally seize the moment when the notary should receive

the price of his villany in strangling himself by accident with the rope , the instrument of his crime ; but we are only recording facts . The details before-mentioned were made public by the mason , who confirmed them afterwards by d-position

before the judges . He added that the spy , Nicolo Capellaro , had promised him a great reward by order of Pallante to carry the sack of quick-lime to the church . Three months afterwards , he recalled this deposition as a false one , saying it was suggested to him by Ponsard with the promise of a reward . Being on this imprisoned

a second time , he some days after confirmed his first deposition on oath , adding that the second had been forced from him by the threatenings and promises of Pallante and his party . Suspicions were so strong against Nicolo Capellaro , Pallante ' s well-known spy , a familiar comrade of the Polander , and a principal actor in the

nocturnal scene in the church , that , though he denied any share in the poisoning , he was taken into custody to await an investigation . The notary , after several days' confinement , obtained his libert y under pretext of sickness . The Count Hubsch , master of the Polander , was not only selected of joining in the plot against the

Freemasons , but having been ( if not an accomplice ) at least informed of the jioisoning . He was stated in public to bethe son of a J ew at Constantinople , who had borrowed the name and title of Count de Hubsch , and to be a spy of Pallante , a circumstance which confirmed all suspicions . A Freemason himself , and knowing his servant to be one , it was supposed that he hacl sacrificed him to the artifice of Pallante . He had suffered no one to

come near him during his malady , and notwithstanding the complaints of the unfortunate wretch , had ordered him no antidote of any kind ; he had g iven no notice of his death to any one ; and what more than all strongly confirmed the suspicion was , that he had received some time before from Pallante 4-300 ducats by way of loan , a sum which every jierson knew he could never repay . Hubsch denied everything , but he was taken to prison to await his trial .

Pallante , in answer to these depositions against him , maintained that they were lies and slander ; but an unexpected circumstance destroyed all his hopes . The advocate of Ponsard represented to the Kin g that the deposition of the witnesses could not be completed as long as Pallante should remain at Naples , where he was always employed in corrupting themand thwarting the

, operations of justice .. In pursuance of this remonstrance , he received orders to quit Naples , and to retire to the distance of thirty miles from the city . All his former disappointments were nothing to this last stroke . He did all in his power to annul it , but to no purpose . It is very well known that he found means to bribe a certain

person in great interest with the Queen , but that the endeavours of this person were fruitless , as the heart of that princess was above the common stamp , and not to be shaken from her former resolutions . The project of course was given up , but the bribes , amounting to the enormous sum of 12 . 000 ducats , retained . ( To be continued . )
