We stop the Press to state that the noise of can non is now announcing that the Duchess de BERRI is safely delivered of a Prince." • GAZETTE DE FRANCE, SEPTEMBER• 28. " The Duchess de RERRI was this morning de livered of a Prince. The mother and child are doing well. The sound of cannon is proclaiming the wel come news to the People of the Capital." The Journal de Paris says—" The birth was at a quarter past two o'clock in the morning." The same Journal announces, that the famous Counttsi of OLD! passed through Paris, three days before, on her way to London. MM. C--, Banker, and Colonel F—otrr, were arrested on Wednesday last, by order of the Commis sion of the Chamber of Peels. NAPLES AND SICILY. If we may credit accounts given in the Ccnstitn tiomeeltall the differences between the Sicilians and the Neapolitan Government are at an end. The Editbr states, in a note to a Genoa article, that he had re ceived a letter from Genoa on Wednesday, stating the arrival there of a vestel from Palermo, which had b. ought intelligence of the arrival, in the latter t, of the Neapolitan squadron, with General PEP! on board, and that the Junta at Palermo had accepted the ixopositions made by the Neapolitan Government It is stated in the atcounts from Genoa, that the Austrian force in Italy, amounting to 50,000 men, was divided into two cot ps, one of which, of 26,000 men was inthe Venetian ten itories, and the other, of 24 ,000, in Lombardy. The Emperor of AUSTRIA is said to have offered the Pops an Austrian garrison, but the latter, for the security of the Papal States, preferred a general levy of men from 18 years of age to 60, able Lo bear arms ; and this measure, it is stated in an arti- de from Ancona of the IStb ult. was then rigorously carrying into effect, but allowing of voluntary enli.t ments for a bounty of five crowns. The Austrian troops i.t Italy, and on the march thither, are stated to have hi-en placed on the war establishment since the Ist ult. Nearly all the Regiments of Infantry which Were at first intended to form part of the camp at Pest, were, according to a Vienna article of the 14th ult. then matching for Italy. The same article has a report, that, by a special Treaty, the Sovereigns of the Ger manic Confederation were to send troops to join the Austrian Army in Italy. It is said, however, that the final determination respecting the affairs of Naples will depend upon the result of the deliberations of a new Congress of the Ministers of the great Courts, which is to sit at Vienna.—Some of these statements are at variance with the accounts we gave on Satur- Jay, of the Cabinet of Vienna having announced offi cia4 to the Neapolitan Government, that the assem bling of an Army in Italy was only a precautionary measure for the maintenance of tranquillity in the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom ; hut, whatever may be the intentions of Austria, a great additional strength will be acquired by the Neapolitan Government, if all appreher.sions on the side of Sicily are, as stated, , removed. PORTUGUESE REVOLUTION. We have no direct intelligence from Lisbon this morning ; but the ilamburgh Mail which arrived last night, brings the following COZY OF THE CIRCULAR. LET TER ADC/11E15ED BY TOE StINISTEIL OF HIS MOST ►AITH/UL MAJESTY TO THE SENATE or HASIBUILOII AND SHE DIPLOMATIC BODY. " Ssa— A clime of the nature of these which hare taken place in Spain and Naples has just marked the audacity of some factious persons. Oporto, the second city of the kingdom of For ugal, has been the theatre where the actors in these de plorable scenes have given the first proofs of their madness. Having succeeded in seducing into their plots the troops forming the garrison of that city, they have expelled the legitimate Au thorities; they have seized on the power; they have proclaimed Acts which belong exclusively to the Majesty of the Throne, and that without the consent of the King, who is the sole regu lator of the laws according to the Constitution of the Kingdom. Such a crime evidently appearing to have for its object to over throw the Royal and protecting authority, to substitute for it a popular and anarchical authority, I think it is calculated to excite the most serious attention of all Governments—of all Sovereigns. " As a faithful and devoted subject, and still more as Minister of his Most Faithful Majesty, it is my duty, Sir, to acquaint you with this event, in order that your Court may be informed of it, and may adopt such measures as it may judge proper. As for myself, I formally protest against all acts contrary to the laws I hitherto observed in the kingdom, and opposed to the legitimate authority of my august Sovereign and Mote?, until he shall have informed me of his intentions. (Signed) " LE COMMANDEUR DE CORREA. Ihmborgh, 19th September, 1820." POLISH DIET. The opening of the Polish Diet, on the 13th Sep tember, is rendered interesting from the tone of the EMPEROR'S Speech at a crisis so interesting as the present. The following is a translation: WARSAW, SEPTEMBER 16. His Majesty the EMPEROR of RUSSIA, King of Poland, opened on the I Sth the Diet of the Kingdom of Poland, with the following most remarkable speech: " Representatives of the Kingdom of Poland is with real satisfaction that I find myself a second time among you, and with pleasure renew to you the assurance that I follow the int• pulse of my heart, and carry into execntion one of my dearest wishes, when I assemble you here to co-operate in the mainte. stance and developement of your social institutions. My confi dence in you has been the origin of these institutions; your con fidence in me will consolidate them. My object, when I gave them to you, was to combine the power of the Sovereign with the intermediate power—with the rights and legal wants of so ciety. I consider these bonds as indispensable; but, to be du rable, they require a support, in want of which everything earthly decays and degenerates. Let us not forget that institutions of this kind are only human work. Like man himself, they want a support for their weakness, a guide against error; and, like him, they can only find such a support and guide in Christian morality, and its divine doctrines. You have remained Poles— you bear that honourable name; but I have told you once before, that only the application of the principles of beneficent morality can restore to you so honourable a right. Follow, therefore, on your part, those wholesome doctrines; draw from their source that sense of probity which they command you, both towards yourselves and others; draw front them that love of truth which aims at Truth alone, which hears and speaks only het language ; then you will powerfully support me in consolidating the work of your regeneration. I have spoken to you the words of truth —Lir it is truth that I ask from you. I wish to hear it from your mouths; let me hear it with frankness, but also with com posure and cordiality. It will appear to you in full light as soon as you s,:ek it in reality, and not in vain abstractions—as soon as you judge of your situation according to the testimony of events, and not according to theories, which, in our days, fallen or rising ambition endeavours to bring forward. " Lastly, truth will mark your opinions, as soon as you regard only the voice of the great interests that are confided to you— as soon as you banish from your recollections all acrimony, every partial object, and thus show yourselves worthy of your honour able mission. Then, and not before, you will have fulfilled your obligations; I will now fulfil mine. " My Ministers will lay before you a view of all the mea sures of organization and administration Which have been adopted within these two years. You will, doubtless, recognise who joy the good which they have effected, when you compare it with all those evils, the deceptions of which were to be effaced. The wish to attain this object has, perhaps, nut alwrys followsd the way which the form of administration that I readily gave you, prescribed. Perhaps, too, urgent and simultaneous wants have caused by their concurrence an increase in the necessary Lspentliture. My views, however, have not changed ; and it is my firm will that, in future, the regulations once laid down shall be strictly adhered to, and the most scrupulous care be taken to economize the resources of the payers of the contribu tions. The wishes that you have laid before me have been most seriously considered. You will hear how they have been partly satisfied already, and shall in part be fulfilled in future. You will hear why it has been necessary to delay the accom plishment of some—to renounce that of others. Among those which the Government has willingly granted are the projects of law which will be laid before you." His Majesty then enumerates some of these pro• posed laws, which he desires they will thoroughly examine when submitted to their consideration : and concludes as follows :) RepreosetativLs of the Kingdom of Poland !—Shew your country that, supported by your experience, your principles, and your sentiments, you know how to maintain a peaceful inde pendence, a pure liberty, under the protection. of your laws. Skew your contemporaries that this liberty is a friend to order and its blessings—that you reap the fruits of It, because you know bow to resist, and will always resist, the insinuations of envy—the danger of example. " There are countries where use and abuse are placed in one and the same hue—where the spirit of evil excites the vain want of slavish imitation, and again attempts to recover its dreadful sway. Already it predominates in one part of Surope--already it heaps those crimes and convulsions on each other. Notwith standing these unhappy events, my system of government will remain ahvays . the same. I have drawn its principles from the not profound sense of my duties. I shall always fulfil those 'duties scrupulously. But this would not be perfectly done, if I were blind to the great truths which experience teaches us.— Doubtless the age in which we live requires protecting laws, as the basis and guarantee of social order. 'But our age also im poses upon Princes the duty of preserving those laws from the mischievous influence of ever-restless, ever-blind passions. " In this respect a heavy responsibility lies on you, as well as on me. It commands you faithfully to follow the path which your judgment, your upright sense of duty, prescribes to you. It commands me frankly to warn you of the dangers that might surround you, in order to defend your Constitution against them; it obliges me to judge of the measures on which I am called to decide, according to their real consequences —not according to the appellations with which party spirit endeavours sometimes to blacken, sometimes to adorn them. Lastly, it obliges me, in order to prevent the production of evil, or the necessity of vio lent remedies, to root out the seeds of destruction as soon as they appear. This is my unalterable resolution. I will never negotiate about my principles, nor ever submit to consent to anything that may oppose them. " Poles !—The more firmly the paternal bonds are consoli dated which unite you for ever with Russia—the more you are penetrated with the considerations which they awake In you— the more will the career which I have opened to you be ex tended and facilitated. A few steps more, under the guidance of wisdom and moderation, marked by confidence and probity, and you will be at the goal of your hopes and choice. The ex perience teat the calm operation of your liberty consolidates your national existence, and establisheX4n indissoluble commu nity of happiness between our two nations, will then afford me double recompense." Lord and Lady CASTLIRICAGII arrived yesterday evening at the Foreign Office, from the Marquis of Haaerosi's seat, Sud bury, Suffolk. The Duke and Duchess of Noe:mussesLana were to arrive in town this day, from their seat, Alnwick Castle. The Duke and Duchess of ATUOL arrived yesterday at their house in Great George-street, Westminster, from Scotland. The Duke of Mon:Boas arrived on Saturday at his house in . Grosvenor-square, from his seat in Scotland. V . SPAIN. Madrid Papers arrived yesterday evening to the ' 18th ultimo. The following are extract; : MADRID, SEPTEMBER ia. We have before us a great number of documents relative to occurrences in the Provinces, which ap pear to coincide with those which took place last week at Madrid. Among others is a Proclamation . issued by General CrDonstu„dated the Bth, in which 'he speaks of the events at Madrid, and of the law proposed to the Cortesto regulate the Patriotic So cieties. He says he published this information that the evil-disposed may not give partial and eitaggerwed accounts of what • has taken place. We learn by other channels ; that General O'Donojn has thought' it necessary to move from their command several Otlicers, and, we observe with regret, some who had previously acquired a high character. The accounts from Guipnscoa, Navarre, Arragon, Murcia, Estremadura, Anti Grenada, ate satisfactory ; but in sortie places there have been symptoms of alarm and mistrust, and front the manner in which they are spoken of, they seem to bear some analogy to the - events at Madrid. The information which is sent to the Province., with the utmost rapidity and celerity with which the Captai,ls-General ha% e com municated it, has stifled every get m of discord and tranquilized the good, who ate no friends to con vulsions and disturbances. Those who have a sin cere and disinterested love for the •Consitutiou desire nothing more than it may be consolidated, and they know that so important an object cann , it be attained without first repressing the di,atfected, whatever be the disguise which they assume. • THE YELLOW FEVER.—By the accounts published,. by the Board of Heal,h, at Cadiz, it appears, that from the 29th August till the 2d September, in the morning, there had died five persons, live had reco vered, and five still remained ill. In the Island of Majorca, from the 16th to the 51st of August, there had died ,hree persons, seventeea had been cured, and the number remaining in the Hospitals was twenty-two. The whole number of deaths till Slst of August had been 194. EXTRACTS FROM THE SIFTINGS OP THE CORTES. SEPTEMBER 14.—The debates on Maj"rats was continued. The first article of th^ proposed law, which decrees the abolition of 3iajorats w,rs carried by 128 votes to 24: some modifications were pre viously proposed, but they are not acceded to. SEPTEMBER YE N I NG SITTING.—. This Sitting was chiefly held for the purpose of discussing the proposed law for the reulation of sea-taring persons. The Committee of Commerce spoke of the causes which ruin our commerce and -nercantile marine, and the remedies to be aiylied, .and mentioned five principal points as necessary to be attended to; these pints related to the appoint ient of Con.uk their duties, the il:structions given them, the Custom-house duties levied on vessels and their cargoes, 4 , n account of. the Consular offices, &c. and this mmit tee propose —l. That the Government be aske.t for ail possible information on these points.-2. That a copy of this exposition be given to the Government, that when the Spanish Consulates in foreign countries are regu lated, Officers of the Marine may be preferred.— This was rejected as interfering with the functions of Government. - - ----- ----- SEPTEMBER 15.—The Committee on the Liberty of the Pre.s presented a Project of Law on the use of this liberty, divided into nine hea•ls and 76 articles.. Tread the first time, and ordered to be printed. A great part of the Sitting was occupied in debates on the 2d Article of the Laws on Majorats (or entailed estates), in which some modifications were made. SEPTEMBER I6.—M. PIOBLA NC proposed that a I Committee should be appointed to correct the Acts and Journals of the Cortes, that they may he pub lished with due accuracy, and in loud language ap proved ; and a Committee was appointed, con,isting of M. PIUBLANC and four other Membets. The Committee of Finance proposed the following Minute of a Decree : K 1. Every foreigner settled In the Spanish territory,lnd With property in it, shall be considered a citizen, as long as he re spects and obeys the Constitution. " 2. The persons and property mentioned in the first Article , shall enjoy the same protection as Spaniards and their property. " 3. The property cannot be sequestrated, either by way of reprisal or on any other ground, unless they belong to the Co. vernment." Ordered to be considered on the 18th. Mr. GARELI read the Report of the Committee appointed to propose measures on the liberty (which. .all citizens should possess) of political discussion, without abusing it.—Read the first time. DEBATE ON THE MAJORATS CONTINOILD.—ArticIes S to 10 were approved, modifications and additions being made to some. Articles 7 and 8 were, Low ever, withdrawn. SEPT. 17.—The Committees of Finance and Com mune, united, presented a Report on a. Law relative to the Customs. Article 1. There shall be a general Tariff of Customs for the whole Spanish Monarchy, which shall be in force from the tit of January, 1821, in Europe, and from the Ist of March, 1821, in the Colonies. After a considerable debate, the Article was ap proved, as far as the word " Europe" inclusive, and it was reserved to a Coinmittee l to fix the time for the commencement of the operationof the law inA merica. Article 2. The Cortes shall ratify or correct the Tariff every year, as may be nccessary.—Approved. A Project of the law was presented relative to an entire amnesty and perpetual oblivion of all political offences in the Transmarine possessions of the Mo narchy, which was acceded to. Yesterday Te Deem was chaunted at the French Chapel, Little King -street, Portman-square, on the Duchess de BERRI'S safe delivery of an infant son. Hyde Park was crowded with company yesterday from three till six o'clock. Many persons of distinc tion were both on the Drive and the Promenade. . We copy the following fatal and very extraordinary accident from the Leeds Mercury, of Saturday last : " Wednesday morning last, at Bluskham Bridge, near Newaik, as the Royal Union coach, on its way from London to Leech, was passing over that bridge, which has long been in a very di lapidated state, the floor of the bridge suddenly broke in, and the fore wheels of the coach sunk up to the axle. By the sudden and violent concussion, Robert Cockerill, the coachman, was thrown from his seat into the River Trenti and before any assistance could be afforded him, he had sunk to rise no more. The deceased has left a widow and six children to lament his premature death : and as his steady and obliging conduct had recommended him to the favour of persons travelling by that coach, which he had driven for seven years, it is hoped that the exertions of the benevolent will be called forth in favour of his destitute family. We are happy to add, that none of tke taa angers received any injuTi." I J Ma sho cot eia An sell sto4 COU trai the oft of of . anc Isl. tor 4e 4 &Ai oil Pa a
