unanimously agreed to reinvest him with the trust of Government, upon a new tenure, the conditions and limitations of which are to be determined by the National Representatives. When they have put the finishing hand to the Constitution, it will remain with Jon N V tc accept or reject it; and in the supposition of the latter alternative, the Cortes of Portugal will have just as good a right, as the Parliament of Eng land had, to make a new settlement of the Crown. — The principles on which the immortal Locpt justi fied our Revolutionary Settlement, are 'of universal application :—" All power given with trust for attaining an end, being limited by that end, when-; 'ever that end is manifestly neglected or opposed, the t trust must necessarily be forfeited, and the power-de volve into che hands of those that gave it, who may place it anew where they shall think best for their safety and security." But such an alternative is not to lite contemplated ; for nobody can imagine that * Joan; VI. will be silly enough to let the Crown of Portugal go a begging. A letter from Paramaribo, dated the Ist of Fe bruary, received in Glasgow on Saturday, states, that the loss by the late fire is conjectured to be about 4:700,000 sterling. The public offices, tho Ugh in im minent danger, are safe, and all The.records and se curities have been preserved from the devouring element. We received this morning, Norfolk (Virginia) Pa pers to the 15th of February. We quoted yesterday, *from a Washington Paper, a paragraph, stating, that Montrao had made a fortune of two millions of dol lars, by the war against the Independents. The fol lowing extract of a letter from Havannah, of the 19th January, presents us-with a very different picture: " General Alonato has been some time here, pen flyless, powerless, and friendless! Of his armistice with Bouvan, you must have heard. It excited so much indignation among the Spaniards, that his life was in danger, and he yesterday fled in disguise from the city, in the British brig Blucher, for London. " The long story about the revolt of the Spanish troops in this city, in the American Papers, is ridicu luus. A Volunteer Corps of Citizens, to the extent of eight or nine thousand men, has been well orga nised; anJ the Garrison is in perfect subordination, and the City secure and quiet." 'The Paris Papers of Monday arrived this forenoon. The Conslitationnel contains an article under the head •of Turin, dated the 6th March, which gives the followil - kg as the most positive and recent news received there, at that date, respecting the affairs of Naples: " The Neapolitan General, Carascosa, arrived at Terni, in the Roman States, on the 25th of February, at the head of a body of light troops. lie made a zequisition, it is said, for 80,000 rations, as much for the service of his own army, as in order to ex haust the country before the arrival of the Austrians, whom it appeared to be his intention to harass during their march against the Abruzzes. " It is confirmed that General Frimont had sent orders to Milan to his reserve to advance. The re gular force of the Neapolitans is estimated at 100,000 troops of the line, who appear animated with the best spirit. Enthusiasm was at its height at Naples. The marked slowness of the Austrians in their move ments is well calcUlated to encourage their adver saries. The first effect of the terror which might be expected from invasion has passed over. There are 'letters from Naples of the 24th of last month, by the direct route, which was still open at the departure of the courier. We are assured the Pope has requested General Ptimont to establish a guard of safety at Rome.— This demand has been caused by the boldness of the Neapolitan partizans, who push their reconnoissances,_ at all points, to the distance of many leagues from their frontiers. " The Austrian forces are estimated to amount altogether to 80,000, of which only 60,000 are in the Roman States; the remainder forms the reserve. The Austrians, however, announce that they have 100,000 men in march." An article from Genoa, of the 28th of February, states, that Since the 19th, the city of Ancona had been occupied by an Austrian corps, under the orders of. Major-General GELLERT. The citadel still re mained in the possession of the Pontifical troops.— The squadron under the Marquis of PA L UCCI, which was to support the operations of that division of the Austrian Army, had anchored in the Road of Ancona en the 16th or 17th. It was almost immediately distri buted along the coasts of the Adriatic. " There is a report," it is added, a of• some skirmishes which have taken place in the environs of !tied, of Citta-Ducale, and Aquila. The latter place was encompassed by the Auitrians, who would doubtless not stop to make • it the object of a regular siege." A Frankfurt article, of the Gth of March, states, • that it was not supposed likely that the Venetian' flotilla could , avoid Ail engagement with the Sicilian ' sqUidron which lately sailed from the Bets , of Naples, Ir ma i s co mposed of a vessel of *the line and Several . frigates, besides several smaller ships of war. • The only accounts in these . Papers from Madrid, subsequent to the opening of the Cortes on the 2d of March, are extremely scanty, and by no means cal cilated to remove the inquietude which continues to prevail respecting the effect of the recent change in the King's Councils. The Journal de Paris says, .that there are letters from Madrid of the sth, which announce that the Cortes held, on the night of the 2d and 3d, an Extra ordinary Sitting, in which there was some warm dis cussion; and that, with the exception of Anouaw.r.s, the Ministers who had given in theirsesignations, had resumed their poriefeuilks. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. REPORTED AFFAIR BETWEEN THE AUSTRIAN AND NEAPOLITAN ADVANCED POSTS. ':Efsnce making the preceding extracts from the flaris Papers, we have received, by express, a copy of the Constitutionnel of Tuejday, from which we hasten to make the following interesting and int.; portant extracts: • " PARIS, MARCH 12. " The Journals of Naples, received to-day, an nounce that a proposal has been made to the Parlia ment, by the Deputy Borelli, to give the Dictator ship to the Prince Regent, to /whom would be added a Committee of Members, chosen from among those who enjoy the highest degree of ptiblie esteem. This proposal was seconded, and referred to a Committee, which is to make its Report immediately. " It appears that there is no longer any doubt of the insurrection of a part of the Marches. Wherever the Neapolitan partisans have shewn themselves, they have been received as deliverers, and the ti i-coloured flag waves in the parts which they have visited. The enthusiasm maintains 'itself, or rather, it daily increa es. The Parliament has addressed an energetic and moving Proclamation to the Army. " All persons who arrive from Italy agree in say ing that it is in the greatest fermentation, and al -1 ready the Constitution of Spain is openly spoken of. If the Neapolitans resist only one month, there is no doubt that the North of Italy will rise. People's Minds seem generally prepared for this. This evening, there is a great deal of talk at Paris of a conspiracy, said to have been discovered in Pied Mont, just as it was on the point of being tarried into execution. People go so far as to say, that' the Prince of Carignan is among the number of the-per sons arrested.--(This wants conirmation.) " What is certain is, that several Austrian Offi cers have passed.through Milan, under strict arrest, and bound ; and it is not doubted but that it is on account of opinions which they have manifested. It is also said, that the van-guard of General Wm. Pepe has beaten a regiment of Hungarian Hus sars, and that they have sustained great loss. It lappears that General Frimont temporises, waiting for the reinforcements which a: e necessary for him. " The report is gaining ground of the discovery of a conspiracy at Turin, at the head of which was Prince of ('arignan. It is said that a great many persons have been arrested. The plan of the conspirators was to forma Constitutional 6f , vernment and to re volutionize Lombardy, in order to make a diversion to impede Cie military operations of the Austrians .igainst Naples." ' SECOND EXPRESS FROM PARIS. REPORTED BATTLE BETWEEN 'TIE AUSTRIANS' AND NEAPOLITANS. DEFEAT OF THE AUSTRIANS. At a late hour this forenoon we have received, by a second Express from Paris, the following import ant intelligence : 0 PARIS, MARCH 12. Travellers just arrived from Italy state, that they had been overtaken by a courier, who told them that a battle had taken place at the foot of Mount Brozo, near Terni, and that the Neapolitans had gained the victory." A Mail arrived this forenoon from Brussels, with Papers to the 13th inst. The Brussels Oracle of that day contains the following indistinct confirmation of the commencement of hostilities between the Aus trians and Neapolitans :—" News received from Italy , to-day, announce vaguely, that hostilities have com menced between the Austrians and the Neapolitans, without' adding anything respecting the details of these first actions, and without fixing the date of them." We subjoin some other interesting accounts from the theatre of war. ROME, FEBRUARY 22. The Neapolitans, who had entered Rieti, and de clared that they were obliged to pass through to take a military position at Le Marmore, have retired, for fear of having their retreat cut off. It is said that they have returned and occupied Ascoli. The Austrian column, which had arrived at Mon teiosi to come to Rome, and is commanded by Ge• neral Stutterheim, ,has made halt and taken up its quarters in the neighbouring villages, and its head quarters are at Nepi, waiting for the orders of the General-in-Chief. The strength of the Neapolitan Army is concentrated in the Abruzzes, where, ac , cording to all appearance, some action will soon take place. Up to to-day, no corps of Neapolitan troops has arrived on the frontiers towards Terracina ; the roads, however, in that part, are broken up in several places, leaving no more room than what is indis. pensable for the passage of a carriage. The Auitrian flotilla has arrived at Ancona. King Ferdinand is - A Dutcb Mail also arrived this morning, with Papers to the 10th of March. Their contents are unimportant.

DRURY•LANE.—Last night the Oratorio season commenced at this Theatre, under the very able direction of Sir GLORGE &LAM The First Act of the performance consisted of IiATDS'S Creation, and received from the united abilities of Mrs Saestos, Miss GOODALL, and Messrs. BSAHAM, Prat, Neeson, and Cetera, all that richness of harmony, and strength of ex pression which the style of the composition required. The Se cond Act was a Grand Requiem, composed by Bocusa, in which Madame Castroazsz, Miss GOODALL, Mrs. Bzwis swam, and Die/ars. BRAMAN Prxs, THOM', Gourmet:, and CUTL ER ; and, indeed, the wh ole strength - of the Vocal Performers, were brought forward to give effect to its different parts. The style of this Requiem, the words of which are in Latin, unites origi nality with grandeur. It was enthusiastica ll y applauded, parti cularly the beautiful quartetto between Madame CAMPOISSE, !Flies GOMM LI., lix.enau, and CUTLER,. which concluded • the Piece, and which had a novel, as well as a most striking and almost'sublime accompaniment of thirteen harps. These were fanned into three divisions, occupying the whole breadth of the stage, and were played by Mr. BOCHSA and twelve of his pupils, nine of whom were young Ladies, and the other thres young Ge:tlemen. The brilliant appearance of the harps themselves, the elegance and beauty of the fairy forms which seemed to has. part melody to their strings, and the rich harmonies which rose and floated round them, rendered the whole scene more like the illusion of a dream, than a display of human skill. The effect I was prodigions, and rather increased than lessened, •voben, compliance with the unanimous cell of the audience, the Quar tetto was encored. Between the second and third. Act (which consisted of a tasteful Selection), the Echo Duet was sung by Mrs. SALMON and BRAMAN, and encored amidst enthusiastic plaudits. The. Performance concluded with the Czmmatiou An. them, which was received by the audience standing up and un covered, amidst bursts of loud and tulivci sal applause. . notayor: iwhiejsr 22rZ runt lA ai L j.
