FEBRUARY 1S The Austrian columns march with such rapidity,l I by the 18th the advanced guard will defile un it the walls of Rome. On the 23d the first light one will be upon the Neapolitan territory. The Sovereign Pontiff having expressed a wish is his.

Ai to King Ferdinand, the best informed persons nese u that he has no intention of returning to Naples till he shall have received intelligence of the alma of the Austrian troops. AUGSBURGH, FEBRUARY 21 Theamount of the Austrian army advancing against lisples, under General Frimont, is estimated at fifty Musand men, and the army of reserve at an equal amber. A corps of observation still remains in timer Italy. The three Legations of Ferrara, lk. kZna, and Ravenna, were, at the date of the last ad aces, occupied by the invaders. The partizans of be Court of Vienna, trusting implicitly to the over *lining weight of their arms, calculate upon the Austrians being in possession of Naples on the 12th 13Luch. This opinion is not generally entertained throughout Germany or Italy, because they can ap- Feciate the effects of desperate valour and the love If country. FLORENCE., FEBRUARY 14. General Famont, Commander-in-Chief of the lustrian army, has been for two days within our ►ally The passage of troops continues. A strong column, composed of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, arrived here to-day. NAPLES, FEBRUARY a. Silence has at length been broken, and we have to lavounce to our readers, with the most profound tfief, that the hope which we entertained of a pacific trangement with the Allied Sovereigns, at Laybach, entirely destroyed. A Royal Message, dispatched ions that city to our Prince Regent, declares, in the lost positive manner, that the Monarchs of the Monts have resolved not to recognize our Constitu tits. The presence of the King at Laybach was assory ; everything was arranged before he arrived 4 the Congress.—LThen follows the King's letter to his seq. By Decree of the 4th February, 50,400 men of the lational Guard, organised under the name of Pr3vin 4al Militia and Legionaries, are placed at the dis- Postiof the Executive Power, who will employ them in the manner most useful !or the defence of the Natio°. PARIS, FEBRUARY se. According to accounts received at Paris, the French CE d'Affaires at Naples had withdrawn, on board dM French squadron, hich was at anchor in the Rook The Duke of Kent packet has brought Letters and Nen from Lisbon to the 18th ult.—The best spirit Pzeeeiled among the people, and the Executive Go vommeat, now formed into a Regency, acted in the most perfect concert with the Cortes; the latter, by their liberal and judicious proceedings, had acquired dee entire confidence of their Constituents. After an illge risting discussion relating to the Freedom of the riotess o .04 the preposition ofkilittr Aimee, the it resits carried, 69 to 8, " that disk shall be eo prowl- Gus censure on any subject, except such as relates to Religion." It was afterwards voted and carried, 4S ;Against 31, " that no previous censure - should take place in matters relating to faith and morality."—By this noble and spirited determination the 141tuguese have secured to themselves the highest possible poli tical benefit—one that will, more than any other, tend -to raise their country from the state of degradation into which it had been plunged. This circumstance alone will endear the Portuguese to every nation pos ;easing a regard for freedom and justice. In the file of papers we have received, we observe a variety of orders issued by " the Regency of the Kingdom, acting in the name of the King, JOHN VI." for the better organization of the Government, dec. Among others, is an order from the Secretary of the Navy, for the equipment of several vessels of war, for the protection of commerce. A proposal to the following effect, relating to British Officers, had been laid before the Cortes : " That, u the Supreme Government, established in Oporto, on the 44th August, had announced and promised, that British Officers in the Portuguese service should not perform duty, but still receive their pay and retain their commissions till the meet ing of the Cones, it would seem that the time is come when we ought to take some steps with regard to the future condition of these Officers, as some part of them still remain in the king dom, perhaps, waking for this decision, and as it is not compa tible with the exhausted state of our Treasury to continue to al low whole pay to mere than seventy Officers, including thirty Generals, more than thirty Superior Officers, and the remainder Captains, it was proposed•- " That a Special Conunittee should be appointed, tot the purpose of pointing out, as early as possible, the means of ho- nourably discharging from the Service the British Officers re maining in the country—the said Committee bearing in mind the quality of their services, in the greatest respect deserving of 'consideration, in order that a due recompense may be assigned in them, corresponding to their deserts, and the well known scar city of our pecuniary resources." This proposition was declared to be urgent, and transferred to the Military Committee. Madeifa has followed the example of the Mother Country. The New Constitution was solemly pro claimed there on the 28th of January. The people and soldiers appear to have acted on this occasion in perfect concert ; and as the Governor could obtain no support from either, he made a virtue of necessity. And yielded to the public wish. We subjoin an ex. tract from a letter containing the particulars of this important event: a MADEIRA, JANUARY 31. " An event has occurred here which, we trust in GOD, will have a beneficial effect on this little Island, and secure to us more justice than we have, unfor tunately, hitherto experienced. I allude to the adop dins of a Constitutional form of Government, than which no event could have been more sudden and unexpected. " On Sunday, the 28th instant, about noon, a De putation, consisting of the following persons, viz. Signor Vixen, Signor Medina (Albuquerque), Es corcio; and Morgado Diego &Omahas, &Omahas, entered the Castle, and demanded an interview with the Governor-General, to whom they expressed them- selves authorised to intimate the general wish of the inhabitants for a Constitution similar to that esta blished at Lisbon. The Deputation had beeq en couraged to this bold measure by having previously obtained the signatures of nearly 600 of the principal inhabitants to a declaration binding them to share all the consequences of the proposition. " The demand made by the Deputation appears also to have obtained the general concurrence of the soldiery, as, during their visit to the . Governor, the Militia, though without arms, were all drawn up on the public walk, and a few companies of the Regu lars were stationed, with cannon, in the Chafaris, an open space opposite to the Governor's residence. An immense concourse of people was also colected, who were waiting with much anxiety the result of the con ference. They were not suffered to remain long in suspense, for the members of the Deputation soon appeared on the walls, accompanied . by the Gover nor and his principal Officers, and the desired Con stitution was immediately proclaimed. " All instantly gave a loose to joy ; no work was allowed to be done for three days, and the most ge neral satisfaction was diffused among the Public ; enmities of many years' standing were made up, the theatres opened, and every house illuminated. The enthusiasm manif es ted in the theatres has been pecu liarly striking, and was not a little heightened by the Ladies present, who all united their voices from.the boxes in the national hymn. " The scbooner Andorinha proceeds immediately for Lisbon, with an embassy from this Government, to apprise the new Administration that the COnSee tution has also been proclaimed in this island." The Swedish Count, Rosin', is to be brought to trial on an accusation of having kept up a corre spondence with the Ex-King GUSTAV . VS, and his late Consort, for a series of years, and of having bad a per sonal interview with the former in the year 1811, on ' an island near Gottenburgh. The charge, fiowever is universally believed to be false. , Yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of CLARINCS visited the Duke and Duchess of 6LoucasTsa t at their house in Park-lane.

A A Contert was held yesterday evening at the Egyp• ciao Hall, in the Mansion }louse, under the patronage of her most gracious MAJESTY Queen CAROLINE, for the benevolent purpose of relieving from an oppres- ' sive debt, the Royal Institution for the education, on the British systein, of 1000 boys and 500 girls, of ' religious denominations, in two capacious schools, , situate In North -street, City-road. It had been well known for many days before this Concert took place, that her MAJESTY intended to honour it with her presence; and, in consequence, no inconsiderable crowd was last night assembled to her coming ' with their unbought acclamations. greetri3rn five o'clock in the afternoon till eight o'clock in the evening, the anxiety of the People to receive her MAJESTY with that affectionate loyalty which they always feel to wards her, was apparent in all quarters, but most particularly in Cheapside and the adjacent streets.— The whole line from St. Paul's Church-yard to the Mansion House was filled with an unbroken chain of carriages. The Egyptian Hall was superbly fitted up and illuminated for the occasion. Her MAJESTY - arrived at a quarter before seven o'clock, and was received at the entrance of the Mansion House by the Gentlemen who composed the QUEEN'S Committee, when she went to St. Paul's Cathedral. Her MA JESTY, accompanied by Ladies ANNE HAMILTON and HOOD, was ushered into the Ladies Committee Room, where she partook of some refreshment. "At seven o'clock she proceeded to the Concert Room, and was met at the entrance of the Egyptian Hall by the Loan MAYOR, who bad the honour of conducting her to a magnificent seat, surmounted with a canopy, which had been prepared to receive her.—Among the company immediately surrounding her MAJESTY were the following distinguished personages : The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, and the Lady Mayoress ; his Grate the Duke of Leinster, Sir R. Fergussun, M.P. Mr. Crecrey, M.P. Mr. Samuel Whitbread, M.P. Mr. Western, ALP. Mr. Tennyson, M.P. and Lady, Sir William De Cry,- pigily, M.P. Mr. S cudamore. M.P. Mr. Hume ' M.P. Mr. Martin; M .

Her MAJESTY was received by the company, which consisted of upwards of 2000 persons, and presented a brilliant assemblage of fishion and beauty, with the warmest expressions of affection and respect. She appeared to be in excellent health and spirits, and to be highly gratified with the performances. In the First Part, a beautiful Fantasia from HUMMEL was performed by Mr. NEAT& with peculiar brilliancy ; and the Duet of " Quell' ochirtto," from Fiorovanti, was sung with great effect by Mad. CAMPORESE and Amaaonarrt. A new Trio, by Mr. BOCHSA, was in troduced in the Second Part, and highly ap plauded. be Her MAJESTY appeared to much pl eased with the eccentricities of AMSROGETTI, in the Comic Duet of "Do se oafs." Miss STEPHENS was to have been present, but was prevented, by. sudden indisposition, , from having the honour of attending.—The perform ances concluded at about half-past ten o'clock. Her MAJESTY was conducted from she Hall by the Loan MAYOR, and entered her carriage amidst the accla mations of the assembled multuutle, and reached Brandenburgh-House at half past twelve. ALMACK'S GRAND BALL. The first of the series commenced on Wednesday evening, but owing to the inclemency of the weather, the Court at Brighton, and the Catkolic Question, the attendance was rather thin. The great room put on all its attractions at ten o'clock. The quadrille dancing commenced about eleven. Among the dancers were— Prince Lenox:ant . Miss Frrzsoy. Mons. Ds Wuttvrainoar Lady M. Bucts. Hon. Capt. NEEDHAM Miss Dtwatiss. Mr. Duenate - Miss Vasa. Lord JAMS HAT Lady G. &Mat)IININIAX. Hon. Mr. Rice - Miss Beaustoxr. Hon. Mr. 'Fauns Lady Moteneur.

G. Edg cumbe, Mr. Cottin, Hon. Mrs. and Miss Stuart, Sir George Montgomery, Viscountess Castlereagh, Lady James Hay, and Mrs. and Misses Beaumont. D au RY-LA NaTHEATRE.—The House was crowded last night to witness the appearance of Miss WILSON, as Rosetta, in Love in a Village. Upon the whole she added to her former reputation, though the music in Artaserxes is more trying than in this Opera. Her acting was spirited, and frequently very effective. Some music was introduced to give the Piece more interest, and a song nf considerable difficulty fell to her share, which she executed so well that she was called upon to repeat it. Mr. HORN went through with Young Meadows in a manner which reflected high credit on him. Mr. BRAHAM took Hawthorn, a part seemingly out of his line ; but he sustained it vigorously. He sang, "My Dolly was the fairest thing," with very superior effect. He introduced from MOORE, " Friend of nty soul, this goblet sip," and gave it such expression, though he scarcely used an additional grace, that it was called for again with enthusiasm. Mr. MUNDEN, in Justice Woodcock, and Mr. KNIGHT, in the Clown, are well known for their broad and rich humour.—The new and interesting Tragedy of Conscience; or, The Bridal Night, was giveirout for repetition this evening, and Love in a Village was announced for repetition to-morrow night. In the Spoitd Child, Miss KELLY (in consequence of the indisposition of Madame Varrais) sustained the part of Little Pickle, and with excellent effect. ENGLISH OFERA•Housr.—Mr. MATIIIIWS is again At Home at this Theatre. Last night he presented to his audience the original of the series of his highly popular entertainments; and the Public were again delighted at renewing their acquaintance with his inimitable old Scotch Lady, whose long story about Sandy Anderson, called down reiterated applause. 'The display of his talents as a ventriloquist, in the , character of .a French valet, and his dialogue with' i, the housekeeper ' , bader, and his bedridden master, were particularly amusing. The imitations of sense, of the principal tragic and comic performers, con .skied the reside of -evening. rHE ARMY. _.._ (From ilst Amoy Caseft.) We noticed in our last, that the 7th Royal Vete. ran Battalion had received orders to hold thethselvei in readiness for embarkation, preparatory to being disbanded at Chelsea; since which, we have seen in • the London Papers, that these meritorious Coln.sae not to be - disbanded until the Coronation of our be loved Monarch has taken place, and that it is his Niamey's intention to confer some special mark of favour on these brave men, who have so long fought and bled fcr their King and Country. We can affirm. that no Regiment quartered in this island ever de served to participate in his MaJe.srv's consideration • more than the 7th Royal Veteran Battalion." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
