This morning the Market opened very brisk at 72 3 / 4 and much business was done: but before eleven o'clock, a very respectable Broker sold L. 100,000 Stock, which caused an immediate depression to 72 1 4 ; he had, a few days previously, thrown a Pil lion and a half upon the Market.

It is currently reported on 'Change, that advices Lave just been received that the tricoloured flag has been hoisted at Toulouse, and that a serious commo tion had taken place. The events respecting Naples must open the eyes of mankind (if any still remained blind) to the true objects of the Holy Alliance. Their treatment of the Italians amounts to a plain declaration that they have formed a league against the independence of the Na tions of Europe generally. Yes! without any dis guise whatever it is avowed to be the intention of •• The Great Powers" to regulate by their own will everything that respects change in the internal go vernment of the little Powers ! and, to the shame of the age in which we live, even England furnishes toad-eaters who applaud their proceedings and ezult in the degradation and oppression of the helpless, by the military bands of these Despots! We never have been, nor ever will we be, found approving of measures subversive of the rights of Nations. Ty ranny may for a time prevail over Right; but we are not of those who believe that the reign of despo tism is to continue for ever. On the contrary, we are well assured that " the arm of the oppressor shall be broken." _ _ It may to some appear singular, that, notwith standing the success which has hitherto attended the measures of these Legitimates, as the Despots delight to be called, we should still entertain hopes for the fate of mankind : but, great as has been the rapidity of their movements, and feeble as has been•the resist ance opposed to their legions by the Neapolitans, the war is not yet ended between despotic Rulers and the oppressed People—between Tyranny and Oppres sion ! On the contrary, we consider all that bas yet liappened as merely an open declaration of war on the part of the Great Powers, against the whole People of Europe. What measures the Latter may pursue, not only for defence but for deliverance, is yet in the bosom of Time ; but, where the numbers on one side are a single dozen or two, and those on the other millions, there can be no question what the issue must eventually be, however great or numerous may be the present impediments to the establishment of the independence of Nations. But is the conflict yet over for the present, in Italy? Even that remains to be seen. There seems, we allow, to be but feeble reasons for hope now left, but, to use a common adage, " while there is life there is hope." One thing we know, namely, that notwithstanding the defection,- or treason, or what ever name may be given to it, of Prince CARIG NAN° ; and notwithstanding the statements which have been published in the enslaved continental Journals, the Piedmontese have not yet submitted to the mandates of the holy men of Troppau.— Their efforts for emancipation may prove fruitless; but while they carry on the struggle the wishes of all good men must be with them; and till their subju gation shall have been put beyond all doubt by the event itself, we will not utterly despair of their ulti mate success. It may be said, indeed, that our grounds for hope must, necessarily, be feeble. We allow that they are feeble, if we look only at the hosts em battled against the insignificant numbers of the de fenders ; but in the affairs of nations so many unfore seen contingencies often intervene, that we have learnt, from experience, never to conclude positively respect ing the issue till we see the sword again in its scabbard. The arrivals to-day consist of the Paris Papers of Monday, and extracts, by express, from those of Tues day. They appear to leave in no manner of doubt the occupation of Naples by the Austrians. As to the events in Piedmont, they are' involved in more obscurity ; and it is difficult to collect what is the seal state of matters. The following are extracts: PARIS, APRIL I. The accounts from Naples which have successively arrived for some days, were of so strange a nature, and presented so many contradictions and inco herences, that the distrust they naturally excited ne cessarily produced reserve in publishing them. Now, however, all doubts are removed ; the Neapolitans have opened their gates to the Austrians, and yester day a semi official Journal announced, on the autho' rity of a telegraphic dispatch, that the Austrians en tered Naples on the 23d of last month. This was an inevitable consequence of the Convention of Capua. The details, the first causes of this denouement, are not yet known ; but the facts and results are sufficient to make them to be conjectured. The events of Pied mont present, in certain relspects the same obscurity which for some time enveloped the affairs of Naples. Dispatches arrived yesterday to the Neapolitan Am " hassador, which brought him the intelligence that the famous Pepe, the Insurgent General, had embarked on the 21st; on board a vessel prepared for his flight, carrying with him 200,000 Neapolitan ducats. It is thus that these Revolutionary Chiefs, these mag nanimous Patriots, when they have thrown their country into confusion, and drawn down vengeance on their accomplices, fly, and carry with them the spoils of the country they have betrayed.—Gazette de France. The Lions Journal of the 29th contains the follow ing statement :—Accounts arrived here announce, that the Prince Regent has returned to Turin, at the head of the troops commanded by General Latour, and that the Insurgents have thrown themselves into the citadels of • Turin and Alessandria. It is added, that the wishes of the nation recal Victor Emma nuel to his Capital. The earthquake which lately made such dreadful ravages in the Island of Zante, was also felt in the peninsula of the Morel. The town of Lala, it is said, has been completely destroyed, and more than .500 persons have perished in the ruins. Several other towns and eillages have been ravaged, and a great number of lives have been lest. In the town of Pyr gos, 300 houses wete thrown down. The earthquake lasted several days, and every day violent shocks suc ceeded each other after intervals of a few hours. Yesterday, after Mass, the King held a Levee. — Among those present were particularly remarked, Prince Talleyrand, the Duke of Dalmatia, the Prince of Eckmuhl, Count Jourdan, and the Marquis of Viomenil. The following is the Proclamation issued by the Governor of Gliooa, which occasioned the disturb ances in that place: " You have given me such Battering proofs of your confidence, that I ought not to hesitate to make known to you with equal confidence the great events of the day, and to instruct you ors your true interests. " The Duke of Genevois has ksued the following Declaration, to which that Prince has enjoined me to give the greatest pub licity. The Prince of Carignano has also informed me, that, moved by the sentiments of honour and fidelity which distin guish him, he bad fully conformed to everything which the said Declaration directs : " 0. Genoese! you may congratulate yourselves on the good order you have maintained, and on your submission to the Au thorities. You have thereby acquired the right of expecting those rewards of sovereign munificence which will not fail to be bestowed upon you. " The tranquillity and moderation you have always preserved, and from which I hope you never will deviate, induce me to believe that we shall be spared the necessity of foreigkco-opera don, and the entrance within these walls of the Allied Army al ready assembled on the frontiers of the kingdom. " Aid me, and your maritime commerce will not be inter rupted ; your Sag will be respected ; and I shall have the saris faction of seeing you happy. (Signed) " Genoa, March 21. " Count DES GENETS." The Declaration of the King, Charles, Felix was added to this Proclamation. 0 CHA hIBERRY (Saanneta.), MARCH 27. 4 . The Revolution which has overthrown, during the fifteen days which are just concluded, the Mo narchy which is so dear to us, cannot be compared to-any other.. It has been recognised neither by the people on whom its leaders reckoned, nor by the army which they have in vain sought to mislead. Four days after it had commenced they proved un able to direct its course. The Revolution has already turned against them. Events which they did not suppose possible—the resistance of the King—his re fusal to receive law from hit subjects—the firm and bold measure of his abdication—changed the situa tion of our affairs._ _ _ _ 66 The Duchy of Savoy has remained at peace, a stranger to all the public troubles. The City of Chamberry has been menaced by the want of disci pline in some of the troops, whose superior Officers have always maintained the most prudent conduct, but who were seduced by the deceitful promises of the subaltern Officers, entirely gained by the deceit ful promises of the conspirators. But the prudence of our Governor, Count Andezeno, in removing these disaffected troops, has saved us from the dangers that menaced us. Yesterday, the brave Chasseurs of Sa voy were assembled, when the Governor read to them the Proclamation of the Duke of Genevois, amidst repeated cries of 6 Live the King,' and the acclama tions of the people. " Orders have been issued to assemble at Chem berry the Provincial contingents of the Brigade of Savoy. At the head of these troops the Governor is confident, not only that he will be able to maintain order in Savoy, but also that he will render important service to the Royal cause. " It is gratifying to be able to state, that all those persons honoured by the King with his esteem and confidence have rivalled the zeal and activity of our Governor. All have shown themselves faithful to their duty, and to their oaths. Among the citizens, no one has attempted to withdraw his obedience to lawful authority. " Thus, after 15 days of troubles, our country, so severely menaced, resumes its peace and its repose. The revolters, without hope, without resources, pos sess only the citadels of Turin and Alessandria, in which they have shut tip soldiers of all arms, driven from them by the mass of their brethren• in arms, and some Students, whose enthusiasm will soon be extinguished by fatigue and privation, as well as by their foresight of the lot that awaits them." EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. 14 FRANKFORT, MARCH 27. The arrival of Prince Hardenberg at Rome was so unexpected, that his carriages were compelled to wait for four hours is the Place d'Espagne before suitable accommodation could be found for the first Minister of the Prussian Monarchy. M. Niebuhr, the Prussian Minister accredited at Rome, was igno rant of tbe• arrival of Prince Hazdenberg, until be saw him. The Chancellor has held long conferences both with M. Niebuhr and with M. lt*mdohr, Prus.- _ sian Minister to the King of Naples, who was also in Rome. It is presumed that the object of Prince Har denberg is To obtain just notions of the actual situa tion of the' capital of the Two Sicilies. He has also, conferred frequently with Baron Stein, so well known for his former hatred to Bonaparte, when at the height of his power. All these circumstances induce a belief that Prince Hardenberg is fulfilling a politi cal mission of an important nature; for it is difficult to imagine that at his age, and at this season, he has undertaken so long a journey from motives of plea sure alone." VIENNA, MARC!! 22. The troubles of Wallachia have rendered precau tionary measures necessary on the part of our Govern ment. Orders have been given to form a corps of observation on the frontiers. The regiment of Impe rial Hussars, which was-at Tenieswar, has already marched for that destination. All the corps of the Austrian army are about to be placed on the footing of active service. Our Sove seign's intention is to terminate the war as speedily as possible. The forces which we shall have in Italy in three weeks will amount to 150,000 men, and will, besides, be reinforced by Russian troops. There is now no longer any doubt of the success of our arms in the kingdom of Naples. The resist ance of the enemy was faint and insignificant on every point. The corps of the Prince of Ilesse Hom bourg had no occasion to fight. All the prisoners which were taken were afterwards sent to their homes. It appears certain that Baron Frimont had orders not to commence hostilities, and, in fact, the Neapolitans attacked the first. FROM PARIS, BY F.XPRF-SS. Intelligence nom Naples had been received at Paris by telegraph, stating, that on the evening of the Stth of March, the Lazzaroni assembled tumultuously, and would have murdered all the members of the sect of Carbonari that could be found, but for the in tervention of the Austrians. On the 2.5 th tranquillity was again perfectly restored. LYONS, M,tILCIf zz. We have received very contradictory news on the present state of Savoy. On one hand, we learn that" the Marquis d'Oncieus is appointed Governor of Savoy, inste.ad of General Andezeno, faithful to his King and his oaths, and that he arrived at Chamberry on the 21st, with full powers. On the other hand, Savoy, it is said, recognises nothing that has been done at Turin. The Manifesto of the Senate, dated the 26th, proves that it is still at its post, and maintains firmly the sacred oath which binds it to its legitimate King and the laws.— It invites the Magistrates to arm themselves with the full power of the laws, against such individuals as shall attempt to disturb public order. Letters from Chamberry announce, that there arrive continually revolutionary emigrants from Piedmont, who take the road to Geneva, and that the Students of the Law School of Grenoble, who had taken refuge in Savoy, have received orders to depart. French Five per Cents.—Monday, 81fr. 95c. NAPLES, MARCH 23. A part of the Austrian army already assembled in' our neighbourhood has this morning . entered the Capital. We admire the fine condition of these , troops, who, during their long match from the fron tiers to Naples, have observed the strictest discipline. All the corps passed through Toledo-street to defile before the King's Palace, where were the Regent Duke of Calabria and his brother the Prince of Sa lerno. An immense concourse of people expressed their applause of the King, and saluted with joyous acclamations the troops of his august Ally. PROCLAMATION OF THE DUKE OF CALABRIA. " The paternal intentions of the King, my august father, have been fully made known to me in his last communications, which were addressed to me from Florence, under the date of the 19th current, aid which went brought to me by Lieutemutt-General Fardeila. I consider it not only far the glory of his Majesty, but also useful in creating confidence to communicate the same • by a liberal transcript. " Dear Son—l have received the letters you entrusted to Ge neral Fuddle, and I learn with great sorrow, by the contents of those of the 13th, all that you have explained to me respect ing the state in which my well beloved subjects are placed. The reasonings into which you enter would seem to point at me as the cane of the evils of the war which afflicts my kingdom. " It was precisely for the purpose of avoiding those evils that I employed my cares, and that I wrote to you from Laybach the letter dated the Bth of January, to which, unfortunately, no attention was paid. Hostilities have been committed by our troops, without provocation, and even in contempt of my Pro clamation of the 23d of February. The troops of my august Al lies arrived as Mends ; the Sovereigns had declared it. I expli citly announced their intentions and mine. To whom ought the disasters to be attributed ? To whom does blame attach ? 6, The Allied Powers and myself did everything in our power to render evident the unfortunate circumstances to which my people were exposed. We offered the means of avoiding them and made known that the welfare and advantage of my kingdom required, and that reason dictated, the immediate abandonment of all the innovations which had been made. But I found, to my deep regret, that the magnanimcius voice of the August Con gress and my paternal wishes were not listened to, and that a blind obstinacy has caused the most fruitless and most fatal re sistance to everything suggested for the safety and true interests of the State. For once listen to the voice of an affectionate father; suck I have always been, and such my well-beloved subjects will al ways find me. Do not lose sight of my exhortations, of the de. sires and the wishes I have expressed to you. My letter from Laybach, and my Proclamation, contain everything necessary as a rule for that conduct which the interests of the Kingdom, the wishes of the good, and those which I constantly form for the tranquillity of my State, require. lam confident, my very dear son, that you will, on your part, contribute to the accomplish ment of that object, which cannot be separated from your pru dent.and ardent desires. I embrace you tenderly : I bless you. " Your very affectionate father, " Florence, March 19. -" FERDINAND." NAPLES, MARCH 24. By a Royal Ordinance, dated at Florence on the 15th, his Majesty has named a Provisional Govern ment, to whom the care of the kingdom shall be con fided until a new Royal disposition shall be made. The Provisional Government shall be presided over by the Marquis Circello, and shall be composed of the Chevalier Raphael di Giorgio, President of the Supreme Court of Justice, to whom w:11 heio u th e direction of judicial matters. General Fardella will have the direction of the Minstry of War and the affairs of the Church. The Ckevalier Luchesi is charge with the Minis try of the Marine ; the Marquis Andrea with the Finance Department; Jean Baptista Vecchiani with the Ministry of the Interior. Mare Antoine de Blasiis has the direction of the Police. " PARIS, APRIL a. PXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. " The conduct adopted towards the Duke de Cases forms here the principal subject of conversa tion, and has given rise to a report that he has been arrested; but this fact I find, on inquiry, to be wholly without foundation. Some circumstances are, how. ever, adduced, to shew the degree o f i gnom i ny with which he has been treated, which approach more nearly to the truth. A few days ago (just before he was forbidden the Court), on presenting him elf for admission to the Palace, the Garde du Corps af. fected not to know him. The Duke required that his superior Officer should be sent for. The Officer ap. peared; but though he had seen him a thousand times before, he pretended perfect ignorance of his person; nor was it without long perseverance, and after re. peated messages, the Duke found his way to the King, Such is •the tate of a favourite !—The fall of AI. de Cases is not, 1 understand, from the Royal favou r agate ; but he has also lost the support and sympathy of the liberal party, who charge him with• having betrayed them. As for the Ultras, they are man gent in their expressions of joy. Yet there are some individuals, who, knowing his personal character declare their regret that a man of talent and &kiwi disposition should, at so early a period of his life, have forfeited the confidence of the leading political parties, and sacrificed his abilities and power of doing good to the unworthy object of being a Court fa. vourite. It is certain that his situation is such as opposes great, if not insuperable, difficulties to the epolitical conse quence . T he Duchess, his little better, is past all hope of rLs h ca es b s i , isl t i h m o e u ii g t h of a , recovery." A Mail arrived this forenoon from Lisbon, with papers and letters to the 24th ult. The followirg are extracts : LISBON, MARCH 24. The Sittings of the Cortes continue regularly. re the Sitting of the 16th the Order of the Day was the Decree for the Abolition of Feudal RiBhts. The 6rst article relates to personal services. Some Deputies spoke of the oppression which, to their ows knowledge, various parts of Portugal suffered, for which reason they wished that all such services, how. ever called, should be abolished. In this debate, Seignior BRITO observing that these services was founded on the right of property, Seignior Bertro Pr. REIRADO C sßato replied, 44 I do not allow, and never will allow, that the liberty of man is the patrimaq of any one:' This article and the second were re ferred back to the Committee. The Decree was finally discussed in the Sitting of the 20th, when it was passed. An indemnity isto be al -1 owed for personal services arising from onerous tides. Seignior Gvann at no observed, that on various occa sions he had proposed that the events of the 24th ♦ugust and the 15th September should be declared legal, and begged a day might be filed to discuss the Project, and the additions that had been made to it. One of the Members of the Committee said, the/ had not the necessary doctiments to decide on the degree of merit of the various persons engaged ia these events. After some debate, and an impressive discoonelky MANUEL ANTONIO DE CA aveuzo, who thought, On this day, when the inhabitants of the great cur et Lisbon came to manifest their sentiments of gni tude to the Sovereign Congress, it seemed roper to solemnize it Mr the legitimation of the acts oa the salvation of the country had depended, and to declare those well-deserving who had concurred is these acts, leaving their different services to be rinsed afterwards. Seignior GUERREIRO requested they should pm ceed to the appel mostiaal, to declare the acts of the 24th August and 15th September legal; which was unanimously done, them being 90 Member:press% In the Sittings of the 21st and 23d, the expected arrival of his Majesty, or some other Member 01 . the Royal Family, was mentioned : the Governor of the Port of Lisbon having asked instructions how to pro• teed, in case more than six foreign vessels should arrive, and how he should receive his Majesty? k was resolved, that if his Majesty should be war panied by foreign vessels, their entrance into the Port might be suspended for a few hours, slick would be no violation of any Treaty. It was mica I by some Deputies, what should be done in castes, Majesty, or other Royal Personage, should refuse° take the Oath ?—but it was an improbable case; sea as the Cortes had declared themselves permanent, ea such an occasion they would decide upon it.
