Into that place s by . bye paths, 1200 Austtian Ca valry, part of 8000 men who were on the Tessin. —The Constitutional army, however, had summoned Novara, and at the end of thirty-six hours, not having " co i l ed any answer, the marine artillery began to fire oa the place. Although it was well provided w ith cannon, it made no answer. But on the Bth, at lug o'clock in the morning, the Austrian tirailleurs, to the great surprise of the besieging army, rushed out of Novara, followed by the Royal Piedmontese al i m ent, and being joined by the infantry, and 2,000 Hungarian cavalry, who had passed the Tessino, fell like a clap of thunder on the Constitutional army.— A very smart engagement ensued, and lasted until three in the afternoon. During the action General Belloti (the same who was softie years since confined in the citadel of Mantua, for a conspiracy against Austria) and General Regis joined the Austrians. After an obstinate resistance, disorder spread through the ranks of the Constitutional army, and it dispersed. The number of killed is not yet known. It is believed that an Austrian division has passed the Po at Placentia, in order to cut off the retreat of any remains of the defeated army who may try to rally at Alexandria. General Santa Rosa, who had the command of . the Citadel of Turin, at two o'clock this day deli•' vexed i t up to the National Guard, and has with drawn with the garrison. We are thus secured from being assailed by the bombs of our Citadel. The National Guard remains also in the sole charge of the City. The Magistrates of our City are this instant gone to compliment General Latour, and to present him 11 0 the keyi of this capital. There were at Novara, with General Latour, from 700 to 800 Royalist Officers, of all ranks, who had taken refuge there; two divisions of Artillery, four thousand Infantry, some remains of Cavalry, and the entire Regiment of Royal Piedmontese. GENOA, APRIL 7. the Chief of the Police of this City has published a Proclamation to the Inhabitants of cur Duchy, in which he announces that tranquillity everywhere pre vails, and invites every one to remain calm, and to confide in PROVIDENCE for happier times to come.— The tone of moderation which prevails in this docu ment, is the presage of a speedy return to the old order of things. It is said that an Austrian corps is on its march hither, and will take possession of our city in the DUDE of King Victor Emmanueli ROBIR, APRIL Q. It is said that the Marquis Circello, President of the Provisional Junta at Naples, has written to the Cardinal Secretary of - State, inviting him to watch over the Carbonari who are here, and that his Emi nence replied, that Rome, and the States of his loll neu, were generally tranquil, and that he knows no persons who are members of that sect. There has been established, on the part of the Aus trians, a Commission, called Statutaria, at Milan, at Modena, and at Naples, to judge persons accused of State crimes. At Modena, the Duke has re-estab ed the gibbet, which had been abolished since his accession to the throne. Our Government has not yet followed this example. Cardinal Marozzo, Bishop of Novara, who bad gone to Modena on a mission from the new Pied montese Government to the Duke tie Genevois, was not received by that Prince. He went to Bologna, and expressed a desire to retire to Rome, btu the Holy Father refused him permission. NAPLES, MARCH 30. The General Directory of Police has issued an order that no periodical paper, nor other printed or engraved productions, shall appear without its approbation. The Provisional Government has ordered the sus pension of the forced loan of three millions. All secret associations have of new been prohi bited, and the laws of suppression respecting them restored into full vigour. VIENNA, ArraL 6. The submission of Naples, and the reduction, not less certain, of the rebels of Piedmont, does not make any change in the march of the Russian troops. All the arrangements were previously made, so that at the first signal, these troops put themselves in movement. Their route is traced from day to day ; the first column will arrive on the 15th of April at Bartfield, at the foot of the Krapack Mountains, in Hungary, whence they will proceed by Eperses, Kaschau, Ofea, Graetz, Clagenfurth, &c. It is calculated that not more than a month at most will be necessary for the whole Russian Army making its junction with the Austrians in Lombardy. UTRACT OP A PRIVATE LETTER PROM MADRID, DATED APRIL 5. " Very serious movements have taken place in the province of Burgos. A Canon of Valencia, Merino, who, in the late war against France, commanded a division of four thousand men, and who obtained signal success over the troops of Bonaparte, has sud denly started up in that province at the head of an armed troop, and has raised the standard of Reli- Sion :and the King. The Curate Vi)lobiado, by a very masterly movement, went from Valencia to Ar canda.de Duero, and there mustered veterans who formerly served under him. Two days after his ar rival, be was joined by above 200 young men. his *misrules are already ranging the variou; arrondi:,se- Il lestr of the province, particularly at Sofia, where they made a general requisition of horses. This in telligence has excited a great sensation at Burgos.— The Commandant instantly dispatched a messenger to Madrid, requiring reinforcements, under the ap prehension that the Curate Villobiado would march upon that city (Burgos) to release the Royalists who are immured in the prisons, and amongst whom are some of his personal friends. " No dependence whatever can be put upon the National Guard. of Burgos; the inhabitants have formally refused to do any active duly. The Mili tary Commandant has taken such measures as were in his power, to arrest the progress of the Patriots, who have already shewn themselves at the gates of the town. The ferment which this event has pro duced in the provinces contiguous to that of Burgos is indescribable.' CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 10. During the last few days we have witnessed many important changes in the Ottoman Ministry—changes which were not expected, and are ascribed to various causes; but the truth is yet unknown. The Reis- Effendi and the Interpreter have been deprived of their situations. Yesterday evening a fire broke out in Pera. The Chancellary of the Russian Embassy, and two neigh bouring houses, were burnt. A similar event took place this morning at Scutari. The Grand Seignior and the Grand Vizier hastened there, to direct the measures adopted for extinguish ing the flames. _ ~ INVERNESS, APRIL 13. The tenantry of Gruids, in Sutherland, were lately ordered to he served with notices of removal, but both at Gruids, and in the neighbouring district of Strathbrora, the Slier iff's Officers who were employed to serve the summonses, received so much opposition and maltreatment, that it was found necessary to call in military assistance. A party of the 41st regiment, consisting of 80 men, under the command of a Field Officer, were dispatched from Fort George, and ar rived on Monday at Golspy, where they were joined the following morning by the Sheriffs and many respectable country Gentlemen, Justices of the Peace; from thence they proceeded to the tlisturbed districts. Another party of the 41st regiment, which arrived here from Glasgow, on Thursday, were on Wed nesday morning marched to reinforce them. Ru mours of some of the tenantry having paid for their 'rashness with their lives, have been in circulation, but they are not confirmed, and we believe them un founded.

ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE OF MADA- GASCAR AND SUITE. The ship Colombo, Captain Richardson, from the Isle of France, arrived in the Downs on the 14th in stant, having on board Prince Ratafe, and ten other Madagascar youths, under the care of George Har rison, Esq. Ratafe is a native Prince of Madagascar, and has been sent to England by Radama, King of that Island, on the occasion of the ratification of a Treaty with. his Majesty, by which the Slave Trade has been finally abolished in its greatest market in the eastern hemisphere. Our Readers are probably not aware that the-po pulation of Madagascar, exceeding four millions of people, is advancing rapidly in the career of civi lization, and that a market for European indbstry is thereby opening to replace the traffic thus happily abolished, and which was formerly carried on to such an enormous extent, that, from one port alone, the average exportation was not less than four thousand persons annually. The Rev. David Jones, a Missionary, is residing at the Court of Radama, opening a vast field of use fulness, and diffusing the blessings of Christian know ledge amongst that interesting and docile, but hi therto uninstructed, race of people. Madagascar is one of the most fertile and produc tive Islands of the globe : it produces, particularly, innumerable herds of the finest cattle, with which it supplies the neighbouring Islands of Mauritius and [ Bourbon. THE EX-KING OF SWEDEN. EXTRACT OP A LETTER DATED HAMBURG!!, APRIL 13. gl I mentioned in a former letter that Gustavus Adolphus, the late King of Sweden, had presented an Address to the Norwegian Storthing, for the pur pose of obtaining letters of naturalization in Nor way, and now send you the following copy of the terms in which the request was couched :._ _ _ " If pure intentions, a loyal life, and tranquil resignation under every change of fortune, have been hitherto my comfort, they now constitute my hope that my humble request of na turalization as a Norwegian citizen, in the military service of the State, will be granted. A Swede by birth, I have been se parated from Sweden by the di3position of fate ; but I have ac quired the privileges of a citizen in a city of Switzerland called Basle. My fortune may amount to about 30,000 guilders. Se parated from my wife and children, I hate but one natural son to provide for. " G. A. G USTAVSON. " Frankfort on the Maine, Jan. 12, 1821."' The following account of the destruction of the fleet of the BEY of TUNIS, by a tempest, which has already been noticed, is tot destitute of intere.t " 'rums, FEB. 24.—1 t had been long since resolved in the Council of the Bey, that a strong squadron should be ready at the beginning of the spring to sail from the port of the Goletta, to cruize in the Medi terranean, and to plunder the Christian vessels which might fall in its way. Nothing had been neglected that could ensure the success of this formidable enter prize. The squadron consisted of nine vessels, well equipped, and provided with every necessary, and with numerous well-disciplined crews. The brass cannon (not to mention those of iron) amounted to three hundred. The sth of this month all the vessels were assembled in the harbour of the Goletta : the 6th was fixed for putting to sea. The Bey, already ' devouring in imagination the riches of Christendom, set out from the Bardo (the name of the Bey's Palace), and beheld with barbarous pleasure the various ma-, nceuvres which the squadron performed in his presence. This review being ended, the vessels received orders, to sail the followinetlay. But in the night between the sth and 6th, a violent tramontane wind.suddenly closed the mouth of the harbour, and, increa,sing in violence and fury during the 6th, 7th, and Bth, raised the waves of the sea, and sunk and totally destro) ed that formidable flotilla. The tremendous tempest did not leave any time to guard against it.; all the ma riners, crews, and soldiers, perished ; and oa the 9th, the sea still agitated, showed to the astonished spec tators the broken masts, and sails, and the floating corpses, as monuments of its fury. The Bey saw the flower of his Navy and his Army vanish before his eyes. Three thousand men were submerged in this dreadful hurricane. It seems that the storm dis.: charged its greatest rage on the ships of the Barba rians; but the European vessels, however, suffered from it. Fortunately, all the crews and passengers of the latter are saved, except four persons, whose Late is not yet ascertained." . --, ..... \ ‘. . . . MAUNDY THURSDAY. In consequence of the demi,e or the late KING,- the number of the aged, infirm, and afflicted. relieved by the Royal Bounty, has been reduced to .59, the years of his present MAJKSTY'S age, who has Leen graciously pleased to continue his benefaction during their lives, as supernurnerariec. On Monday and Tuesday last Mr. HANny, the Secretary to the Lord high Almoner, and Mr. Josus, the Groom, were busily employed in distributing the KING'S Bounty to 800 poor objects of charity, who had been recom mended, at the Almoner's Office, in Scotland yard. Yesterday being Maundy Thursday, the annual Royal Donations were distributed to 59 poor aged men, and 59 poor aged women, at Whitehall Chapel; for which purpose there was a large building of wood erected against the side of the Chapel next to Scot land-yard, and to render it perfectly weather proof, it was lined with thick canvass and boarded under foot. . It had several glass windows on the side next the yard, and was divided into two apartments, one ' of which opened immediately into the Chapel ; one apartment was used as a store-room, where the Royal Bounty was deposited, and the other as a hall, with two long tables laid parallel, with benches on each side for the poor men and women to sit upon.— The tables were covered with clean linen; at the ex treme end there were several rows of seats elevated one above another, for the accommodation of Ladies and Gentlemen, who were admitted by tickets to wit ness the interesting ceremony. At eleven o'clock the objects of the Charity took their seats at the tables ; the men at one table and the women at the other.— A party of the Yeomen of the Guard, in their superb liveries, were stationed at each of the two entrance doors, to keep order. The Sub-Almoner, the Secre tary to the Lord High Almoner, and other Gentle men belonging to the Lord Chamberlain's Office, at tended by a party of the Yeomen of the Guard, entered. The Sub-Almoner, in his robes, took his stand at the head of the tables, and gave orders to the attendants to bring in the Royal Bounty; and im mediately was placed before each poor person a clean napkin, on which was laid a fine piece of roast ing beef and a half quartern loaf of bread. After putting this up in their baskets, there was a large wooden dish put before each, which contained thirty six salt herrings, two salt cod, and two salt salmon, and four other loaves of bread. The Sub-Almoner then ordered all to stand up, whilst he repeated a short prayer for the Royal' Donor. After which the health of the Royal Donor was drank in cups of strong ale. —At the conclusion of the distribution all the re ceivers of the Ring's bounty drank his Majesty's health in ale, in a wooden cup, according to ancient custom. In the afternoon the same poor men and women as sembled in Whitehall Chapel, and were seated in the north gallery. As soon as they had all taken their seats, Divine Service commenced, which was appro priate and specially appointed for the day. At in tervals of the service, shoes, stockings, woollen and linen cloth, were distributed to the men, in lieu of which to the women £1 15s. was given to them on Tuesday by tickets. There were also distributed to each man and woman a red leather bag, containing a £1 Bank -note, and a white leather bag, containing 59 silver penny-pieces. At the close of the whole, each person had a wooden cup filled with wine to drink the King's health, they retaining the wooden cup. The Sub-Almoner, and all the Officers in attend ance belonging to ie Almonry, were ornamented with white sashes, as were also the two boys and girls in the procession, and each of them, according to the ancient custom, carried a bouquet. Last week a Gentleman of ;Montrose, in walking among the rocks on the south side of the river, picked up in the neighbourhood of the tower a very large and entire pebble, weighing 16 pounds. On breaking it through the centre it proved to be a very beautiful spar, surrounded with an cater coating of pebble; it was hollow in the centre, and the cavity contained a small quantity of water. Last week three fishermen, from the Moray Frith, while on their return home from Port Dunda , , where they had been disposing of their cargo, went below to the cabin of their little sloop, and lighted a fire in a common iron pot and retired to bed.— In the morning one of them was found dead, and . the two others in a state of insensibility, from the effects of the sulphur. Medical aid was promptly administered, but without avail, as both died two days after. Tuesday, an Inquest was taken at the Turf Tap, back of St. George's Hospital, on the body of Mr. J. WEST. The deceased, a few days ago, took an out side place at the White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly, *to so to Hammersmith. The coach proceeded at the rate of about six miles an hour, and when opposite the Red Cow public-house, beyond the Turnpike, it suddenly jerked on one side; precipitating the ou:: ide passengers into the road ; they all, however, got up without material injury, except the deceased, whose skull was fractured. He was taken to the Hospimt, and expired in a short time. Verdict—Accident! Death. Deodand, one shilling. John Horwood, convicted at the Bristol Assizes, for the wilful murder of Eliza Balsum, was executed at Bristol on Friday, on a drop in the front of the New Jail, on the banks of the river. There could riot, on a moderate computation, be less than 40,000 persons assembled. The signal for the falling of the platform was to be given by the prisoner, by the dropping of a handkerchief; and he kept the spectators in an awful state of suspense for nearly 23 'minutes before he appeared to have courage to le it fall. His struggles then were Speedily at an end Previous to his leaving the jail he confessed his guilt BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S YESTERDAY. ittootivwolerff.
