TIM EVENING STAR. . LONDON. TUESDAt, MARCH 2O 1821. The 'French Mailt which were detained on the other side by contrary-winds, arrived this morning, and have brought us the Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday. The first thing that deserves particular notice is, that the Bulletin sent to this country as having been issued by the French Government, re specting the insurrection in the North of Italy, does not appear in these Papers. The general facts are, however, sufficiently confirmed to serve as an expla, nation of the official character given to the intelli gence. We now take the sense of the writer to have been simply this:—that the French Government, un able entirely to conceal, even by the censorship of the Press, the nature of the events that were passing in the North of Italy, had suffered the intelligence re ceived by telegraph to transpire; but the whole was run together in such a manner as to make the intro. ductory words of the writer be considered as in the light of a regular Bulletin. We shall subjoin the accounts that have reached us, and which we shall here sum up in a few words. It is admitted at Vienna, that the resistance opposed to the advance of the Austrian army is "greater than was expected," and that, in consequence, the commanders have found it necessary "to wait for farther orders." The event which we predicted with confidence, when the KING of NAPLES obeyed the summons of the Holy Allies [Holy Allies! r 3, is verified. This wise Monarch, no doubt under the wholesome direction of the wise men at Troppau, has issued a Proclamation to his subjects [those who once were so], aocompanied with another Proclamation from the Austrian General TRIM DNT, calling outhem to receive the Austrians not as enemies, but as friends! This kind admonition will not have the effect in tended. The Neapolitans are quite aware of the rea son why the Austrians have halted : in fact, the legi timates calculated on their paper fulminations fight ing more than a half of their battle by the terror they were meant to inspire; but the Neapolitans look not at the number of words employed as auxiliaries of the Holy Allies, but at the number of troop ; and it now appears that the Austrians, having miscalculated the resistance of the invaded, are inferior in point of numbers: The whole effective force of Austria brought into operation, notwithstanding all their previous vaunting, is only 4,000, with a reserve of L 5,000; while that of the Neapolitans is 80,000, aud increasing daily. The insurrection of Piedmont is confirmed in these Papers, but, as yet, not the fact of the march on Mi lan: though the trooprarebreathirg vengence against the Austrians. In the meantime,the King of SARDINIA has been administering a little of the Troppau cordial to his subjects, in a Proclamation, in which he threatens, if his troops persist in their revolt, to have his territcries occupied by foreign troops !! So much for the tender mercies of this legitimate. But where are foreign troops to be found to occupy every dis contented quarter in Italy I—in Europe ! I The following are extracts from the Journals re ceived : ROME, MARCH 3. The Neapolitans, after having made some incur sions into the Roman territory, and having planted the tri-colour flee in several towns, appear to have returned within their own territories. The whole frontier of the Abruzzes, from Fondi to Tronto, is covered with their troops. The centre of their army is concentrated between Civita Casteliana and Aquila. Their left, commanded by General Filangieri, occu pies Fondi ; General Arcovito is in advance of St. Germano, communicating with General Pepe. The fortress of Gaeta is gat risoned by .5000 men, and is provisioned for a long time. On recapitulating exactly the number of Austrians who are in line, we find their number does not exceed 42,000. It is true, that a reserve of from 15,000 to 20,000 men is at this moment traversing the Ro man States, which will also bear on the frontiers of the Abruzzes. We do not know positively the strength of the Neapolitans ; we must presume that they do not at this moment amount to less than 80,000 regular troops, without taking into account the numerous reinforcements which are daily arriving in tits Abruzzes. We are in expectation of some great affair taking place—unless, indeed, as is very probable, it forms part of the Neapolitan plan of campaign to avoid pitched battles, and to confine themselves to harassing the Austrians on all sides, from the moment that they enter their territory. FLORENCE, MARCH 7. The King of Naples is expected here towards the end of this week. The Duchess of IFloridia has been with us for these two days past. The Austrian head-quarters were transferred, on the Sd of March, from Spoletto to Terni. All the c orps were in communication, and everything was Frepared for passing the frontiers and entering the Neapolitan territory.
