Onmium par.—Cons. for Acct. 68 1 / 2 3 / 8 3/4 In the preceding columns we have given such new f :c ts as have reached us respecting the Revolutions is Spin and the Kingdom of Naples. The question every one is:-.Will the Hai Allies venture to' embark in a new crusade against the Rights of Na ricns--against the march of public opinion ? We .tve yesterday an article from the Banks of the Da-' oabe, stating, that 4 6 the Neapolitan Consolidated Bente: are declining, and every one endeavouring to dispose of them as fast as possible.' Our Readers have also seen, that many holders of our own Stocks have for these two days shown a strong disposition to sell. Some of those wbo are most anxious to sell .-4:e believed to be those most in the confidence of Dawning-street, and best informed respecting the agitations which perplex the great Courts of Europe. People who witness this sort of distrust, in those who are noted for their prudence, and reflect on the ru mours from, dirrerent parts of the Continent, and who, moreover, bestow due attention on the Note from the Emperor of ReSSIA, published in our Paper of Mon iy, are a good deal at a loss what to think. Has tilis second Revolution, following so rapidly on the firct, excited so much the wrath of tile Holy Alliance that they are determined to place Spain and Naples varier the bap, and to renew the Crusades against Imedom ? Or do the members of this Alliance, who lure so mach cause to be afraid of their own Armies tadcavouring to combat those of Spain and Naples, imlgine that action can alone secure them from the contagion of popular feeling, and that a foreign T. Al' is the only•mode of upholding their system ?-- Tisese are questions, which, in the obscurity which h.tngs over the political prospect at present, it is dif satisfactorily to answer. As to Prussia, our !Leaders will have seen, that 7,-e consider that Power as chained to home, by the workings of discontent in the minds of the people, elated by the evasion, or, at any late, the delay, in giving them their promised Constitution. But Aus ria, we think, may be tempted to make an effort zgain.t the new Government of Naples. If, there icre, the Austrian Provinces of Italy do not afford occupation to that Government at home, we should tot be surprised to see it, armed with the sanction (;f flc Holy League, advancing into the territory of Naples. Indeed, the particular alarm said to be felt 4. - 1 the Danube by the holders of Neapoiitxt stock, .ould seem to point to a prat, general belief in e..ch a crusade. ' As to Spain, if it is only true to itself, it has nothing to fear front all or any of the Members of f...e Chris tian -League. Indeed, no measure would tend so much to con olidate the new state of things in" Spain, as the attempt of any foretgn Power to dictate to them. The national pride would then be up in arms; and when national ptide is associated, as it is in Spain, with a noble-minded people, %, ho hare such means cf defence in the nature of their country, it forms a very important element in the estimate of the strength of that country. The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this forenoon.' Letters from Naples are said to announce that General Patin DE CAPJAXI has been appointed Ambassador at Vienna, and that 'he has set out for his destination. No mention is however made of the teported nomination of . Prince PIGNATELLI to the Ftench Embassy. A Vienna article, of the 19th July, says, 44 The News of the Revolution of Naples, brought here yes terday by an extraordinary courier, has produced the most lively sensation. Count Nugent has fled to Rome, and several extraordinary couriers have set out this night for Italy. No doubt is entertained I ere that the success of the revolt against the Bour. bons of Naples sesasalave an extraordinary influence 11,k:on the state of our possessions in Italy ; and every one agrees in thinking that our Cabinet will take knergetlc measures on the subject ft What is singular is, that the event was known here by some persons before the Ist of July, that is to say, before it had even taken place. These persons, on being interro gated, replied, that they had received the Informa tion in letters from Paris." Anothei article from- Vienna states, that imme diately on the arrival of the news of the Rev°. lut:on at Naples, Prince METTERNICH set off to peoenher g , to have a conference with the Emperor. On the night of the etith of June, the Church of Olai, at Revel, was set fire to by lightning, and totelly ccnsumed. It was the last monument of the ai,:ient splendour of Revel. . Frsnch 5 per Cents. Saturday, 791 i. We. jlalifin Papers arrived this morning to the 14 if ! r .—Tbe Fart of ..."APICIZSIS, the successor to the I.kte Duke of RICHUOND in the Government of the Canadas, and Commander-in-Chief, arrived at Que bec on the 18th of June. The yellow fever is spoken of as having already visited Charleston. At Baltimore (Fell's Point) and at Middleton, Connecticut, several fatal cases have occurred. , It is currently reported that Government is about to send -a squadron of ships to the Mediterranean; and the surmise is, that this determination has some coanection with the movements of Austrian troops on Italy. We do not credit the fact, for we cannot conceive, in the present state of affairs at home, that Ministers would seek to embroil themselves abioad, though it is impossible to tell by what continental leagues they are bound. The Algerines begin to *ince symptoms of restlessness, and possibly have already forgotten Lord EnxiouTtes late visit among them ; and this spirit may, in all probability, induce Government to send a squadron of observation to watch their conduct. Monday evening, his MAJESTY left town for his Cottage, in Windsor Park. Yesterday, all the members of the Royal Family, and their several households, went out of mourning, for the first time since the death of his late MAJes - rr.

The preparations at St. James's Palace, for the re ception of the Duke of CUMBERLAND, have been countermanded. The Coronation having been post poned, his Royal Highness does not return to Eng land at present. The Duchess of GLOVCEITER visited the Duke of CAMBRIDGE and the Princess SOPHIA, yesterday morning at Cambridge House. Their Royal High nesseslfterwards visited the British Museum. The Duke and Duchess of RUTLAND are shortly expected to leave town for their seat in Cornwall. Yesterday afternoon the Duchess of ST.

On Monday, July 51. at Broadstairs, in Kent, WILLIAM EVANS. Esq, M.P. of Darley, in the county of Derby. was married, by special licence, to MART, eldest daughter of the Rev. Tflobras GISBORNR, of Yoxall Lodge, in the county of Stafford. The cere mony was perliu.i.ed by the Rev. JANIS GisßoaNs, brother of the. bride.

Lord .ObStILSTON, Member for Berwick-upon- Tweed, w sited this day upon her MAJESTY, with the Add, ess of the Burgesses of that town, for which see eldverttsement. A Requisition was yesterday presented to the LORD Nlnyon, requesting his Lordship to convene a Court of Common Council, to consider the propriety of again petitioning the House of Lords on the subject or the proposed Bill of Pains and Penahie; to de grade the QUEEN ; and also of coming to some Reso lntions on the rejection of the bete Petition. • The QUEEN'S town equipage now bears the Royal Arms, with the letters C. R. surmounted by the Clown on the quarter pantiels. The servants wear the Royal livery. ' We understand that, on the trial of her MApt$TY, to prevent the Bar of the House of Lords from being overcrowded by persons admitted on Peers orders, the privilege of granting orders is to be limited to 100 Peers each day in succession. • The Royal Yacht was towed down from her moor ing at Portsmouth to Spithead, about one o'clock on Monday. The marine band of music was on board, and a great number of pleasure-boats, filled with Ladies and Gentlemen, accompanied her in her course. She e wes round directly towards Brighton. HAYMARKETTiIe Beggars' Opera continues to attract the amateurs of the Drama to this Theatre in art extraordinary degree. It draws overflowing Houses, and certainly it is performed with unttsital i merit. The beauty, taste, and vivacity of Madame Vusrats, give a charm to Mocheath, which almost recoiiciles us to the metamorphosis. We are sot ry to lea, n that the Opera is soon to be withdrawn, as Ma dame VZSTRIN is engaged at a Provincial Theatre. Escudos Oruan.—This Theatre goes on spiritedly, and receives the encouragement due to exertii.n. Last night Two Words, the favourite romantic drama, was performed. Miss KELLY is Ate heroine, end exhibits great pantomimic ingenuity. In the second performance of the night, The Promissory Note, her oral energies were exerted with as much superiority, and she amused the audience with the hapFiest.imi, union of the flippancy of low life. THE ARMV.

" Such vessels as can prove that they left the ports of the Union and were bound direct to a French port, previously to the 15th of June last, (at which perloci the Act of Congress, dated 15th May, must have been known throughout the Union), will only be liable to the ordinary tonnage duty; as also ships coming into our ports in ballast. " The enactments of the present Ordinance will cease to have effect, if the Act of Congress of the 15th May, should have been annulled, and from the moment that the official knowledge of such abrogation shall have been received in France." A second Ordinance enacts, that from the 15th of October next, ar.d until the 21st of March, 1821, in clusively, there shall be granted a premium of tenl francs per hundred killogrames on Cottons of the two Americas, imported into France, in Trench or foreign vessels, with the exception of those t.f the Union.
