To conclude, should they adopt this measure, he would cheerfully pledge all the pre science of his mind that they would not repent of the result, but would, ere long, reap from it a rich har vest of added strength, enthusiasm, and renown !

The Bill for. the relief of the Roman Catholics passed last night through its second reading in the House of Commons, by a majority of 254 to 243. Mr. PLUNKETT in moving it gave a clear, and, we think, satisfactory exposition of the principles upon which he has framed this and the concurrent Bill for regulating the intercourse between the Catholic Clergy and the See of Rome. Sir WILLIAM SCOTT, who followed Mile PLuNICETT, seemed to have fallen from his usual inveteracy of opposition to the mea sure; he said but a few words, and these did not go to the principle of the Bill, but merely to its present form. —Mr. Bartz Es spoke with zeal against it; but was powerfully 'replied to by Mr. WILBERFORCE, who, in a speech full of genuine philanthropy and patriotic feeling, advocated the cause of emancipation. Sir James NIACKINTOSH also gave it his able support. Mr. PEEL repeated at length his objections. Mr. BRAGGE BATHURST moved an Amendment, that the Bill be read a second time this day six months. Mr. CANNINU concluded the debate by an eloquent speech in favour of the measure, of the great and growing expediency of which he expressed the strong est conviction. At half-past three o'clock in the morning, the House divided; and seldom has the morning of St. Patrick's-day been ushered in by a cir cumstance more auspicious to the sister island than the increased majority by which the second reading of the Bill was carried. The report which prevailed yesterday in the City, and which had so marked an effect on the Funds, of the revolt of the Piedmontese army, and of its having marched to the assistance of the Neapolitans, is fully confirmed. Erpresses, with this intelligence, were received by no less than three different houses Of the first respectability. The I'iedmontese army," says one of the accounts,u in close pursuit of the Aus trians, amounts to 45,000 men, and they are chiefly composed of the soldiers who fought in the late war. —The KING of SARDINIA sent his son among them, to urge them to return. They answered, , g that AO:en they had defended the Neapolitans from the outrage ous and unprovoked attack of the Austrians, they would return, and prove their loyal attachment to their Sovereigh," The following is an extract from another of the Letters, dated Paris, March 14th, five o'clock in the afternoon: " The Mail has left Paris, but the intelligence I have just re ceived, from the best authority, is of so decisive a character, that I lose not a moment in conveying it to you, by express. The dk is east—the fate of the Aust►ia* Army is sealed ! A Tele graphic Dispatch has been received by the Government, an nouncing that the wlsdc of the liedmontese Troops have risen, awl have demanded a Free Rein esentative Constitution, requir ing at the same time that they should be allowed to march agalbst the Austrians. From the necessary conciseness and obscurity of a telegraphic dispatch, I cannot distinctly collect whether com pliance has been refused , to the rya or the second clause of the d e mand of the Piedmontese soldiery. It 1s imagined that a dis position was shewn to concede the free Constitution, bat that a peremptory denial has been opposed to the desire testified of avenging the cause of Naples, by direct hostilities against the Austrians. It is concluded, however, that the reply of the Sar dinian Government had not proved satisfactory, for the dispatch distinctly states that the Piednuantese Army, to the number of 40,000 men, had marched. Prince Carignano was. sent after them to endeavour to bring them bath to their duty, but with little hopes of Mete's. The accounts conclude with these se mukalde words—' All Italy is Ls aflame !' In addition to these expresses, we have received the. Paris Papers of Wednesday, Neapolitan Casettes to the 27th of February, and the Austrian Observes• to the sth instant. In none of these is there any con firmation of the rise of the Piedmontese--a circum cumstance, however, which by no means detracts from the certainty of the fact, both Vienna and Na ples being places too remote from the scene of revolt to have received, at either of the dates above-men., tioned, intelligence of an event which was only known hi Paris, tclegraph, on Wednesday afternoon, and after the Journals of that day were published. Al- . though silent as to this important event, they furnish us, however, with some authentic and interesting details -respecting the operations of both the hostile Powers, down to as late'a dal* as the 4th instant. No intelligence had at that date been received in the Roman capital, of any action between the Austrian and Neapolitan armies. They were, however, almost in presence of each other. The Austrian advanced posts occupied Rosati, Cesi; and all the adjacent vil lages ; the Neapolitans were encamped between Rieti and Aspia, and almost under the walls of IVlalig nano. Rieti is on the. Neapolitan frontier, about 15 miles to the right of Terni, which is in the Papal . territory, 40 miles north of Rome, It appeared that the Austrian General did not intend to make any move ment on the offensive till his second line was completed; but it was doubted whether the Neapolitans would al low him the necessary time. The ardour which 'reigned among the latter is described as almost incredible: —A Neapolitan column is said to have advanced by Terracing„ in order to break up the roads through the l'ontine Marshes. General CA RASCOSA had issued directions, in daily orders, for laying waste the country through which the Austrian army would have to march. In the Proclamations addressed to the Neapolitan troops, their force is stated at 100,000 Regulars, while that of the Austrians cannot exceed 70,000. The head-quarters of General GUILLAUME Papa were at Aquila, about thirty miles within the; frontier; and it is with this General that the Austrians were expected to have the first serious encounter. ' The most interesting information , contained in the Neapolitan Journals relates to the offers made by our own countrymen to assist them in the glorious cause for which they are contending. The following are extracts: NAPLES, FEBRUARY 26. We are informed, from an authentic source, that thesChevalier Medici, Ex-Minister of Finance, who has.heen for some time at Rome, has frequent and long conferences with Cardinal Gonsalvi. '1 he Chevalier Fontenoy, French Charge d' A ffaires, yesterday received a Courier, with highly interesting information, of a nature to be welcomed with the most lively joy by the friends of liberty and the country. We shall not, however, venture to publish it, till we have absolute certainty ; that we may not lead the nation into illusion and error. The Parliament has passed a Decree, granting re wards to the troops who shall distinguish themselves in war. The article is as follows: " The children of those who die with arms in their hands, are declared the adopted children of the country: the nation shall provide for their maintenance and education. NATIONAL PARLIAMF.NT EXTRAORDINARY. SITTING OF 23D FERIMARY. • _ The Proces Verbal of the last Sitting was mail and approved. A request was read from the Prince of Molitorna, who desires to assist in the defence of the country as a private soldier.—Referred to the War Minister.— Another from D. Anselmo . Adorno, who offers to furnish an armed man at his own expense, and to maintain him dui ing the war. The Minister for Foreign Affairs gives an account of a - conference with the French Charge 4'Affaires, by whom he has been informed, that that Govern- , ment will observe the stricte.t neutrality. He like. wise communicates the tenour of t►:e British Circular to the Ministers abroad. Lastly, he communicates the request of the English General, Sir Robert Wilson, who offers his service; to our country, whenever it shall be attacked by Austria. He is ready to fly to our succour' at the fist invitation. _ _ Some Deputies observed, that not being a Citizen, be could not have a superior command. The Secretary DE LUCA.—" Let the rights of Citi zenship (macondita) be given him." The PmcsiDENT..—" Alid let the Decree of the Par liament be sent him, by means of our Minister at London, in order to testify to the illustrious General the gratitude of the Nation of the Two Sicilies."— Approved. Signor DE FILLIPPI.--." Let this Decree be circu lated in England. In that free country there ere many generous and sensible minds, who may imitate the example of their brave fellow-countryman." Signor BortELLI.— ,, In the War Office there is an offer of two thousand English Volunteers: it should be examined." Signor Narrt.- 11 Our Nation has displayed its energy, and its firm and heroic character ; but it is advisable to unite with some Power, the better to ensure the triumph cf our cause. The English Nation might be very advantageous to it. Let us attach our selves to it by a Treaty of Commercer—L'Aosice della Cox:abalone, 26th February. The French Courier that arrived yesterday was addressed to the Government, and not to the French Charge d'Affaires, M. De Fontenay. He performed his journey in nine days, and is the bearer of dis ' patches such as might be expected from a Constitu tional Government such as that of France, i. e. the formal disapprobation of the conduct of its Represen tatives at the Congress of Laybach.—L'lnckyendente. The - Mcniteur affords the following intelligence respecting the change of Ministry in Spain: PARIS, MARCH 13. News has been received express from Madrid up to the 6th of this month. All the Ministers have beep dismissed. His Majesty has applied to the Cortes, desiring them to point out persons capable of exer cising the functions of Ministers. The Cortes deli berated on this proposal, and have declared that the Congress being a Representative, and not a Consul-' tative Body, such a proposal could not be entertained. The King then desired his Council of State to present him a list of Candidates, that is to say, three ior each depattment, which the Council has accordingly done, and his Majesty has chosen the Ministers from among these candidates, namely— For Foreign A f fairs—M. Eusebius Bardaxi and Asara, now - Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Ple nipotentiary to the Court of France. For the Finances—M. Antonio Barata, one of the 'Managers . = Public Debt. 1 For the of Grace and Justice—M. Vin cent Cano Manuel, Member of the Supreme tribunal of Justice. For the heteribr—M. Valdemoro, Honorary Conn• sellor of State. For the Marine—M. Escudero, Ex-Secretaty to.the Board of Admiralty. For the War Departmcnt—Lieutenant•General D. Thomas Moreno Daoiz, at present Governor-General of Andalusia. MOST IMPORTANT, EXPRESS, THIS DAY, PROM PARIS. REVOLUTION IN PIEDMONT CONFIRMED! MARCH or THE PIEDMONTESE ARMY To MILAN EXPECTED CHANGE IN GENOA, AND THROUGHOUT ALL ITALY! We have received this forenoon, by an Express which left Paris .on Thursday night, the following most important intelligence. Every heart that is not insensible to the blessings of liberty, must beat high at the perusal. All Italy is indeed in aflame. GOD grant that it may spread and consume till not a pil lar of despotism is left, and the rights of nations to live free and independent, shall, phcenix-like, rise effulgent from its ashes ! " PARIS, MARCII 15—F•e, P.M. " The following Bulletin has just been made public " BULLETIN. 44 MARCH 15, 1821. " It ha been impossible for the Government longer to conceal the events at Turin, of which it re ceived information by a telegraphic dispatch. " It was on the 10th that the Garrison of Alexan dria (10,000 strong) proclaimed the Spanish Consti tution. At this news, the King of Sardinia wished to march the troops that were at Turin, but they refused, crying, The Constitution of the Cortes for ever r " The Prince of Carignan, and the General Gi-1 flenga, were sent to Alexandria ; but on their arrival there, cried, I The Constitution of the Cortes for ever !" and placed themselves at the head of the movement. In this crisis, the King of Sardinia thought to calm the ferment by offering to grant the 'French Charter, but it has been refused. All the garrisons in Piedmont have followed the example of that of Alexandria. " We have certain informarion that the Prince of Carignan and Gen. Giflenga, at the head of 25,000, have marched for Milan, and it is believed that they. would enter that city this day, the 15th March. " The cry of the Piedmontese troops is not only that of ',Vice la Constitution r but also that of Death to the Austrians !' " To the accounts contained in the preceding Bul letin, the following facts have transpired, which were announced by an express arrived this day from Milan, viz.—That all is ready there to receive the Constitutional Sardinian troops, and that in fact the Austrian authority is already overthrown there—that many Officers of the Imperial army are arrested for having refused to march, and manifested revolu tionary dispositions. It is not doubted that Genoa is Constitutional at this moment, and that all Italy will be so in less than ten days!! The news of these events has produced the greatest sensation at Paris : the Ultras are in the most com plete despondency. All eyes are turned towards Dauphin? and Lyons. The movement at Turin was calculated to break out on the Isth, and not before; but the arrests has tened it by five days. 1 The Funds have fallen to-day to 81f. SOc. and the exchange was declining at the close. The return of Decazes to the Ministry is much spoken of.—An Ambassador's Courier is setting off this moment—Half-past fire o'clock, r. t 4. The Funds are at 81 francs, 10 cents. The arrival of the preceding intelligence produced, this forenoon, a great sensation at the Stock Exchange, and throughout the City. The speculators for a list were overwhelmed in gloom. The Three per Cents. which opened in the morning at 72% for the Account, immediately sunk to ..72 1 / 2 . The French Five per Ceats. which, according to the accounts brought by the express, had fallen on Thursday to 81 f. 10 c. being S f. 50 c. below what they were at on Monday, have been offered at 80 f.—but . no one will have any thing to do with them. An additional report has got afloat that Tuscany has also declared for the Neapolitans. The news is, prohably, premature ; but it is in the chain of events. When the Holy Allies first presumed to interfere with the affairs of Naples, we were not backward in stating our opinion, that the war which they were provoking, would, sooner or later, terminate in their own discomfiture, and in the establishment of those very principles which they were so anxious to subvert. The intelligence of every day serves to confirm the correctness of our views : in fact, events of evil por tent to these evil intermeddlers with the business of other people, rise up with a pace far beyond our most sanguine anticipations. The time is not distant when the Emperor of AUSTRIA will curse the day that he ventured to dictate to other States respecting matters of internal policy. His Throne already totters, and ere long the changes of wide-sweeping Revolution, provoked by his own folly and wickedness, will visit his own territories, and bury in their march all his despotic privileges. . "CITE'.-ONE Q'CLOCK. • Repotts thltiply every hour respecting tEe.aLits of Naples. An express is said to have been just received, confirming the report t h at the "hol e of Tuscany had risen in faveur of the Neaprgi unt..... Another report is, that a fleet of observation is mediately to be fitted out by this country. A mercantile house in the City has received a lett er from Paris today, dated the 15th, which s t ates, that, from the enthusiasm displayed by the Neapolitans, and the surrounding country, great apprehensions :re entertained for the safety of the Austrian ancy it is supposed they will be completely surrounded.
