Extract of Letter from Naples, dated August 18. I see by the extracts in the French and English papers that they all look upon the regeneration of this country (Naples) as originating with and being the work of the military. They are in a complete error. It is the work of the respectable landed proprietors in the country who have been labouring for some years in consequence of the oppression and misgovernment they experienced. It is said they had 200,000 men all ready to act in the same cause in the various provinces of the kingdom. Their tenants and labourers all joined them as did the respective militias.
