Intelligence from Naples, of the 15th August, reports a riot
there on the previous day, the eve of the Assumption ; in which the people used knives and stilettos against the soldiery, in the church of the Annunziata. The disturbance is imputed to the irritation of the crowd at the intense pressure. Some of the rioters had been sentenced to thirty years' labour at the galleys.
