tb % '‘• -'~ r 174ArOIZAIV REFOLurrox .• - SWITZERLAND, JULY ea. The Papal Nuncio at Lucerne is said to have re ceived information of the events at Naples, by atr express from his Court. The foreigners are reported to be • "my obnoxious to the people, especially the Austrians and English, who are considered as enemies to the new .order of things. The persons formerly arrested for their political opinions, but who were subsequently set at liberty, have for some time past committed various excesses in the capital, which were in a measure 'the prelude to the events that have since Occurred. They are supposed 'to have been secretly in the pay of the, Carbonari, and to have beets set on by them. • The Governor of Rome, Pacco, nephew to the Cardinal, and who lately fled from Rome, is reported to have been a leader of the Carbon;ri, and since he left Rome, to have lived secretly in the kingdom of Naples, to have directed the intrigues, and prepared everything for the explosion. It is further stated, that Rome was to have been the central point of the Revolution, but that a Priest, who was arrested, dis closed to his Confessor the secret plots of the Gover nor, who, being informed of the discovery, hastened to take flight. Notwithstanding this, a fermentation is said to have been observed in some towns in the Papal dominions—nay, even in Rome itself. VIENNA, JULY 9.7. EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER PUBLISHED IN A BELGIC JOURNAL. Since the day on which the extr aordigary courier dispatched by our Legation at Rome brought here the news of the Revolution accomplished in Naples, esta fettes farm. Italy have rapidly succeeded each other s and their dispatches have every day contributed to augment the strong impression which the events pass ing in that country have produced amongst us.— Prince Metternich, after a conference with the Em peror, repaired in great haste to this capital, to give orders to the Aulic Chancellary, which superintends the Government of Italy : since then, great activity has been remarked in that department. Orders have been dispatched to all our southern Provinces, and it is presumed that a military movement is about to take place. 6' M. Campo Chiaro, now Minister for Foreign Af fairs at Naples, is well known here. He was deputed to Vienna during the first Congress, and defended with energy the interests of King Joachim. Our Court Gazette is still silent on the affairs at Naples, and the Amstrian Observer is the only Paper which has spoken in such a manner as to disclese the views of our Cabinet on the Revolution. The article inserted is one of its numbers may be regarded as official, as the Editor, M. Von Pilat, is Prince Metternich's Pri vate Secretary. It is needless to describe the terms in which it is conceived: it is sufficient to state, that it is full of that monarchical spirit which prepared the conventions of Carlsbad. " Our Government regards with the most lively apprehension the events which are passing in Lower Italy► The Carbonari are known to have been the principal'authors of the Revolution, and their party is very numerous in Upper Italy. It is feared that the example given by the Neapolitans may become epidemic. The police practises great vigilance in after the three colours, the distinctive mark of the party which is so much dreaded. At Milan and Venice the attention of the Magistrates has been directed to a great number of persons who wear tri coloured ribands to their watches. A state of mind is observed to prevail in Bologna, and other towns of Lombardy, which is very unsatisfactory. It is as serted that a great number of the Officers of the Sar dinian army are - Carbonari ; and that -there are secret associations in Genoa and Piedmont which are employed in making arrang,ernents for changing the existing order of things. It is considered here that Austria can by no means regard with indiffe rence the establishment of a new system in Italy, so contrary to the spirit of her Government and her po litical views. It has been asserted, that a numerous army will soon be directed towards that countty ; but to-day some :ire of opinion that our Government will for the present confine itself to reinforcing the corps in our-Italian provinces, and the garrisons of Lombardy. " The Pope having fallen dangerously ill, and the report of his approaching death being credited, it was at first announced that a corps of Austrian troops would immediately occupy the States of the Church, and take cantonments on the frontiers of Naples ; but the report is now contradicted. Mean while the negotiations between our Court and Russia continue, and the frequent interchange of couriers proves that matters of great importance are under consideration. Much is said respecting an interview expected to take place between the King of Prussia, the Emperor of Russia, and our Emperor, at Pest, in Hungary, where great military manoeuvres are to be performed. The events of Naples appear to have determined this new conference of the three Sove reigns, which was at first to have taken place at Bniin, was afterwards fixed for Prague, but has since been adjourned, in consequence of a message from the Emperor Alexander, who intimated that he could not leave Russia during the summer. " An announcement is made here of a new Jour n7l, under the title of - Concert/ix, and the tendency of srhich is to be politico-religious. It will be endea voured to make Religion support the system of legi• timacv, and the existing order of things will be ex hibited as founded on, and maintained by, the princi ples of the Christian Religion. M. Schlegel, who is employed in the Chancellary under Prince Metter nich, and who was formerly Austrian Counsellor of Legation to the Diet Of Frankfort, is to be the prin cipal. Editor. He will have for colleagues, M. • Frederick Von Gewz, Austrian Aulic-Counsellor ; ) 4 1: Adam Muller, hitherto Austrian Consul-General at'Leipsic ; and M. Werner, the famous Ecclesiastic, radii a Pliest. All these Gentlemen are apostates from the Protestant Religion, and from their names, it may easily be conjectured, what will be the poli tical spirit of their Journal. "The news of the Neapolitan Revolution has pro ' &iced do material change in our Funds. Only some slight fluctuation was observed within these few days. Fin this fact we wish to conclude that there is no 'Jenson to fear a foreign war, and that we may con fidently look forward to the continuance of peace.' THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY, 'AUGUST 12, 1820. Tnr i .Ktno's Burn Mr.—Holiday at the Stock Exchange. We have been informed, that immediately after Lord LIVERPOOL received the QUEEN'S letter on Wed nesday evening, his Lordship had a long interview with his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, at his house in the Stable-yard. The Duke, as our Readers have been already apprised, paid a visit to the KING at Windsor on Thursday. On his return to town in the afternoon of that day, his Royal Highness had another interview with the Premier, which lasted a considerable time. As there can be little doubt these interviews had a reference to the communication from her MalEsry, they have served to keep up the expectation so very generally, but we fear, errone ously entertained, that a stop may )-et he put to the proceedings. It is rumoured that the House of Lords, which re sumes its sittings on Tuesday next, preparatory to going on with the case of the QUEEN on Thursday the 17th, the day which now stands fixed for that purpose, will, on some simulated ground or other, adjourn for a week, with the real viere of affording the House of Commons, which re-assembles on Mon day se'nnight, time to originate some measure which may relieve both Houses from the painful necessity of proceeding with the Bill of Pains and Penalties. Mr. WILBERFOROE, who is universally looked up to as the man who, of all others, is best fitted to take the lead in such a measure, ,has, we understand, written to his friends, intimating his intention of being immediately in town, and his resolution to make one effort more to avert from the country the manifold evils with which it is threatened by the' pending proceedings. A Meeting is talked of for Monday next, of those who call themselves, par ex cellence, the Independent Members of the House, when the course proper to be adopted will be deli berated upon, and determined. The Whig party, if we are rightly informed, will take no leading part in the business ; but they have promised their full support to any and every measure which may have " healing on its wings." Nothing less, indeed, could be expected from that respect for public opinion, joined to a high regard for the dignity of the Crown, by which they have been always distinguished. In the meantime, all the arrangements in the House of Lords for proceeding with the business. continue going on, and will be nearly completed this day. A chair is to be placed for the Quan close to her Counsel, on the left hand of the passage to the Lords' seats, near Sir THOMAS TYRWHITT'S box, and an adjoining room is assigned for her to retire to for consultation, or when Counsel withdraw. The report of the death of the King of FRANCE, which we mentioned yesterday, proves, we are happy to say, wholly unfounded. The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday, which arrived this fore noon, say nothing of any change in his MAJESTY'S health, and exhibit him to us, on the contrary, as actively engaged as ever in the execution of his pub lic duties. We have in these Papers some farther details re specting the unhappy insurrection at Palermo; but they do not bring down events to a mere recent date than those which we have already received direct from Naples. A private letter, dated Naples, 22d 1 July, says, 6 , The troops stood their ground for the first day (the 16th), but on the 17th, a multitude of countrymen having joined the inhabitants of Pa lermo, the combat became very unequal, and the Neapolitan Authorities, to put an end to the effusion of blood, took the resolution of withdrawing : others say that they were embarked by force.— Nobody knows in what situation the garrison is; at the moment of the departure of the packet-boat, the city was a prey to all the howors of anarchy. The archives of the prisons, and many other edifices, were become the prey of the flames. The number of dead amounted to 2000, and the wounded to nearly 4000. Such was the fury of the contest, that the people not only threw from the houses stones and articles of fur niture at the soldiers, but poured boiling oil upon them. The cities of Messina, Catania, and Syra cuse, are also greatly agitated, and' very moment the most disastrous tidings are expected from them. The Austrian Observerof the 29th July, pretends that no decision on the subject of recent events in Naples has yet been taken by the Imperial Court; and that before committing itself, it wishes to know the point of view in which these events are regarded 'by the Allitd Powers. It also contradicts, in the most positive manner, the reports as to several Austrian regiments having been sent into the Venetian tern. tory. , f Nothing is as yet resolved on this subject; and it is presumed, that provisionally, there can be , no question of it." Another article from Vienna, of the 27th July, Says, that the camp which is to be formed in the l environs of Pest, will be very considerable. A num-, ber of troops, of different daises, will be concen-1 trated there. Nothing positive has yet transpired an the subject of 'the arrival of the Emperor of RUSSIA and the Xing orPinssta at Pest. -A report is also current of a Meeting of Sovereigns, it which Op King of .ENGLAND will be present. Ilan) , per ? sons do not believe that any such interviews will take place." A letter 'from Naples states, that the Ktwo has given General PEPE the power of awarding such re compenses as he thinks proper to the soldiery ; and that he had also left to the General the determina tion of the fate of the rebellious soldiers of the Regi ment of Farnese, in consequence of which he had sentenced them to a double decimation—that is, that one in every ten should be twice selected from amongst them and shot. _ The Revolutionists of Benevento, whom the Go vernment of Naples refused to take under their pro tection, have, it is said, formed themselves into a Republican Government. A Journal of Lyons says, that letters from Milan announced that " a number of arrests had recently taken place, and that the Austrian Government had received intelligence of the existence of a Secret So ciety, composed of about two hundred Officers who have Served under BONAPARTE, and the greater part of whom now reside in Piedmont. Immediately on the receipt of this intelligence, orders were given to the Austrian Resident at Seste-Call enda, not to allow any individual, even for an hour, to traverse without a passport the Lake Maggiore. This order was exe , cuted with the greatest . strictness, and many Italians who had come from Seste to Piedmont, furnished with good passports for a single day, were placed under surveillance." Of the counter-revolutionary attempt in Spain, we do not now hear a single word. Even the Gazette de France can manufacture nothing more on the sub ject ; and is forced, by its silence, to leave its charac ter for veracity to the public scorn. Accounts from Majorca, of the 16th July, an nounce, that the total number of deaths since the origin of the contagion was, at that date, 1720, in the four towns or villages to which it had been kept confined. The malady was beginning to diminish in intensity, and the number of convalescents and cured augmented daily. The extract from a private letter from Paris, which we subjoin, contains an important piece of informa tion respecting the former conduct of the Russian Government with respect to the recognition of the Spanish Cones. It shews that ALExAmme, its 1812, solemnly recognized as legitimate both the Cortes and the Constitution, which .he now denounces as unlawful. French Five per Cents. Tuesday, .78 fr. 75 C. EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LETTER FROM PARIS, DATED • AUGUST-8. " The French Government did tot permit the ra ris Journals to publish the Mite of the Russian Ca binet, until after it appeared in the Papers of Milan and Florence, which printes it some time before it reached you. I have now before• me the Treaty of the Bth (20th) July, 1812, referred to in the Russian Note. This Treaty, which was concluded at Weiliki- Luki, a small town in the Government of Pskoff, is a Treaty of Alliance concluded with the Spanish Supreme Council of Government, acting in the name of Ferdinand VII. and then holding its sittings at Cadiz. The Spanish negociator was the very same Don Francisco de Zea BerMudez to whom the Russian Note. is addressed. The Treaty was signed on the part of Russia by the Chancellor Romanzoff. By the third Article of this Treaty, his Majesty , the Emperor of all the Russias recognizes the legitimacy of the General and Extraordinary Cortes, assembled at Cadiz, as well as the Constitution which they have decreed and sanctioned:—How can this Article be reconciled with the Note of the 20th of April (March 2), addressed to the Spanish Minister? I have re ceived very positive assurances that the Ministers of the great Powers are now preparing a Declaration from the Holy Alliance, on the subject of the late events in Spain and Naples. This Declaration, or profession of principles, will be published with the greatest solemnity. The Censorship has prevented the Paris JoUrnals from giving this news." We have received Demerara Papers to the end of June. On the Ist, the registration of the slaves in that Colony, commenced according to law. The registration is to .be made by each owner of slaves upon oath, and transmitted to the officer appointed for that purpose. His Excellency Governor Woon- FORD had arrived at Grenada, from Trinidad, in the ship Melanthor, incog. The accounts from Barba does by this conveyance state; that the elections for the Colonial Parliament had been ccmpleted, and that all the former Members, excepting two, had been re-elected. On the 30th of May, his Excellency the Governor (Lord COMBERMERE) opened the pro ceedings of the twoßouses with a speech, in which he regretted that the time approached for his depar ture from that Colony, and took his farewell of the two Houses. His Excellency also explained the oc casion of his dissolving the House of Assembly the previous Session, in consequence , s of that House haring neglected to take into consideration mea sures tending to the honour and advantage of the Colony (and as such strongly recommended in his , last Address), end having improperly interfered with the prerogative vested in him by his MAJESTY.". He further recommended to their consideration the following subjects :-Ist. The revision and ameliora tion of the Slave LAws-r2d. The establishment of a Police-3d. A permanent ptovision for the Colonial Tharity School-4th. The revision of the Militia and Fortification Acts. His Excellcqcy concludes j is spcoch al follows :_u. A spirit of tusubordinatio4 has been planted, the fruits of which may one day be gathered with sorrow: and repentance, unless the returning good sense of the people provide a timely remedy. lam well aware that this is a delicate subject, but as I am on the point of leaving you, and have expressed my sincere good wishes for our welfare and prosperity, I deem it my honest duty to be thus candid with you, at a moment when there can be no doubt of my *motives being disinterested." Major. General MAINVARING had arrived at Barba does, to take the command of the troops upon the departure of Lord COMBERNIERE. Wednesday, Mr. DANIEL, the King's Messenger, left town with dispatches for Berlin. Yesterday, Mr. Fisirest,the King's Messenger, was dispatched_from the Foreign Office with letters kr the Continent. The Duchess of KENT, Prince CHARLES of I.ININ GEN, and the Princess FEODOR, were of the Duke cf Sussex's dinner party on Thursday. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE is expected to give several entertainments at Chiswick in the coarse of the ensuing month. Prince ESTERIIAZY has been several days on a visit to the KING, at the Cottage on Windsor Forest. Yesterday morning, Mr. MASH left town for Oat lands, to give directions respecting the funeral of the lite Duchess of YORK. The Royal Undertaker was in attendance to receive orders on the subject. An outside state coffin is preparing for the late Duchess of YORK: it is of mahogany, and covered with crim son velvet, ornamented with gilt nails, the royal arms, and splendid decorations. The following notice of a General Mourning for the late Duchess of YORK was issued at a late hour last night:— " Herald's College, 'lams 11, 16.0.

The entrance hall was lined with Lancers, bearing their flags and lances, .Which had a novel and beautiful effect. . _ _ The kitchen in which the Coronation Dinner is to be dressed, has been erected near the river, behind Westmitister Hall. It is of very large dimensions. In it will be fixed several ranges, each ten feet besides a variety of stoves. A landiUg-place from the river is making, adjoining to this temple of culinary art, at which the materials for the exercise of the skill of the cooks are to be landed. _ Dr. KAYE, the new-Bishop of Bristol, preached an impressive Sermon, on Sunday last, in the Cathedral of that City, and on the following day his Lordship was enthroned with the customary solemnities.
