We yesterday mentioned the arrival, by expresses from Paris, of a private letter, written on Monday evening, and also the Constitutionnel of Tuesday— both containing tidings of great promise from the theatre of war. At a late hour last night the Moni teur of Tuesday also arrived, by express: it makes no mention of the rumoured defeat of the Austrians, in an engagement with the Neapolitans; but in a Milan article of the 4th March, gives the subjoined sketch of the movements and positions of the respec tive armies. From this sketch it will be seen, that from the 21st to the 24th ultimo, General PEPE and the Austi ion Commander were manoeuvring almost in presence of each other, which makes it extremely probable that on or about the 25th, some encounter may have taken place. The next arrivals from Paris will probably determine the matter. The remainder a the Journals of Tuesday, which ought to have arrived in course this morning, bad not come to, band at the time of our writing this. MILAN, 3IARCII 4. The following is an extract of the news arrived from the Army : " The division of Walmoden, which has arrived along the coast of the Adriatic at Serravalle, came into communication on the 21st, near Foligno, with the vanguard of the General-in-Chief, Baron Frimont. This Vanguard, thus reinforced, advanced on the 24th towards Spoleto. 44 The division of Stutterheim remains at Civita Castellana, to cover the right flank of the General in-Chief: it communicates with him by the way of Narni and San Genievi, by means of detached posts. " The Neapolitan General, Filangieri, was near Fondi, with a small corps; General Arcovita, at San Germano; and Ceprani and Pepe, near Acqui. " On the 20th, 3,900 men of the corps of Pepe, 'with nine pieces of cannon, appeared at Rieti, after pushing their advanced guard as far as Terni. " Oa the 22d, another advanced guard of 1,000 • men (as the first was) appeared at Monte San Vito, towards Spoleto. This corps had come from Aquila, by the way of Leonessa. " The Neapolitans, who had advanced upon Fermo and Ascoli, have fallen back, on the 20th, upon Aquila. P.S. Everything gives ground to believe that very few military events will occur upon-the frontier of Terracina, but that important affairs will very soon take place in the Abruzzi. The Neapolitans have concentrated their principal forces on this. side." LAYBACII, MARCH 2. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. The Ministers of the Grand Powers, who are still here, are now more occupied thAn ever since the Con gress was established. New dispatches from Naples have given rise to extraordinary conferences, on the close of which various couriers were dispatched to Vienna - and Milan; and also Co Baron de Frimont, Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian Army. It is generally thought that the British Ambassa dor, Lord Stewart, will not return here. He, has re cently forwarded dispatches, which, it is asserted, are of very peat importance. It was Mr. Gordon' who communicated their contents to the other Mi nisters, to whom he also delivered a note relative to the affairs of Naples. The most singular rumours have been in circula tion for the last two days, relative to the present situa tion of the Italian Peninsula. With respect to Naples, the Govermient of that State has succeeded in producing general excitation; all are in arms, and defensive preparations are pur sued with redoubled activity on the frontiers of that kingdom. It is .expected that the next courier will bring the account that hostilities have commenced.— Joursal de Paris. VIENNA, FEBRUARY Q. Letters from Laybach announce that there is a certain stagnation in the negotiations at this moment, `which is attributed to a Note that the Court of Lon don has caused to be delivered to the Congress. It is asserted that the present state of Spain and Portu gal has been the object of several conferences be- tween the Prince de Metternich and M. Capo d'lstria. Extract of a letter from a highly respectable com mercial house in Naples, to a correspondent in Perth, dated Feb. 18, 1821 :—" There is every appearance that invasion will be met by a most determined re sistance on the part of the natives. We have hardly any fears either for our persons or property, from the union and good feeling of at least all the middle and higher classes of society ; and the tranquillity of the city w ill be protected by 18,000 or 20,000 military, and a respectable civic guard, consisting of 12,000 or 15,000 men. Until the result of the defence of our frontiers is ascertained, we fear that we cannot hope, to have to advi4e much aiachnration in commerce." IMPORTANT ACCOUNTS, BY EXPRESS, FROM PARIS. INSURRECTION OF TUE PIEDMONTESE. We are informed that two or three expresses have arrived this morning from Paris, with the imi octant information that the Piedmontese, and the inhabit ants of the whole of the North of Italy, have risen, and declared in favour of the Neapolitans. When the accounts came away; they had assem bled an army of forty thousand men, to march to the assistance of the Neapolitans. The Austrians will be thus between two fires. A great timber of French Officers, formerly in the 'service of BONA. : PARTE, have joined the standard of the Piedmontese. The arrival of these accounts has had the effect of depressing the Funds above a half per cent.— Consols opened at 73 1 / 8 A for the Account, but from the immense sales that.tooli place on the knowledge of the Piedmontese insurrection, they fell to 7'2. 3 / 4 .— The Market still looks exceedingly heavy, and a fur ther depression is fully expected. The last quotations of the French Funds present a decline of three-quarters per cent. being at 82 f. 80 c. The Duke and Duchess of CLAaeNce were to have dined with the Duchess of KENT, at Kensington Pa- lace, on Wednesday, but they were obliged to decline the invitation in consequence of the indisposition of his .Royal Hi o hness, who is suffering under the effects of a severe cold. Yesterday the Duchess of CLARENCE took an air ing in her_carriage, and visited the Princess SOPHIA. Viscount and Viscountess Moarmw have arrived at their house in Park -street, from the Earl of CA SLISLE'S seat, Castle Howard, Yorkshire. • The Earl and Countess of Dnattscrox and family have left their scat, itaby Castle, Durham, for Yorkshire. Sir Jon:: and Lady Pot.t.rm and family arrived yesterday at their new residence in Alhenuut•-strcet, from their seat near Andover. The lion. Captain PAKENHAM, bTrs. PAICILVHAN, and family, have leftliatebett's llutel , Dover-street, fur Ilirmitigham. The Duke of DEVON . S H IRE gave a grand dinner on IVednesday to the Archbishop of YORK, the Earls of DARNLEY and DERBY, and the other iNrectors of the Ancient Music ; Lord and Lady MonPgrn, Hon Mr. and Mrs. LAwn, and several other distinguished persons were of the party. Yesterday his Grace en tertained another patty at Devonshire House. It will be perceived, by the Parliamentary Report of last night, that Mr. CRON ER gave notice, that if the Dill in favour of the Roman Catholics should go into a Committee, he should move that it be an in struction to the Committee to enable his MAJESTY to make provision for the Roman Catholic Clergy. Mr. CANNING arrived in town on Wednesday night, from Paris, in order to attend the second read ing of the Catholic Bill. It is said that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has abandoned the idea of proposing the measure of which he had given notice, for raising the legal ten der in silver from 40s. to Sir Wit.ntasi ROWLEY paired off with Mr. Hos lassos on the Report.of the Army Estimates. Aunaces.—The second Ball for the season took place on Wednesday evening, at these elegant Rooms. Dancing commenced at eleven o'clock, and finished at three yesterday morning. There were present nearly 200 distinguished Fashionables, being upwards of fifty more than at the second Ball last season. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE.—Mr. MATHEWS last night produced, to a crowded audience of the most respectable character, a new Entertainment, in which he was as much At Home as in any of his preceding efforts ; to none of which slid it yield in wit, hu mour, diversity of feature, or variety of character. The form of the entertainment was a narrative of the travels of Mr. MaTitews in Air, Earth, and Water, with a description of the several persons with whom he was brought in contact, accompanied with the most diverting mimicry of their peculiarities. The first part describes his p reparation for an ascent in a balloon, with the inquiries, reirarks, reflections, &c. of his acqualatance, Mark Mirabel, the won derer ; Mrs. Damper, a Job's comforter ; and Major Longbow, the modern Munchausen, who becomes his travelling companion, and Monsieur Arc en Ciel, a French Professor, who gives a lecture on balloon ing. The trial voyage is then described, with a landing at the side of Wandsworth Common, on the banks of the Thames, where the travellers encounter two cockney sportsmen; and a personification of " Patience in a punt," in the person of a retired linen draper of Putney, whose sole enjoyment centres in angling, and whose ideas of evil are confined to the frightaing of the fish. A second ascent is made, which carries them to Margate, at which place they alight as the steam-packet reaches the Pier, and a new set of characters are introduced, as passengers by the steam-vessel. The second part consists of ad ventures at Margate, in which a fresh list of charac ters figure ; among whom is Daniel O'Rourke, the Steward of a Margate sailing packet, in which the party of seronauts embark on their return to London. The third part consists of this last-mentioned voyage, in which six characters axe introduced. This part is .represented on the Stage, as in the cabin dare packet, and Mr. MATHEWS descends the cabin stairs dressed in each of the characters successively. The enter tainment, on the whole, is a most amusing exhibi tion of the strong comic powers and extraordinary talent for mimicry and representation with which Mr. Maxnews is so eminently gifted. Amidst so great a variety it is difficult at once to point out the parts which excel; perhaps hardly any two persons could be found, out of the large number present at the performance, who would agree in opinion on that point; to ourselves, however, Monsieur Arc en Cie(' Essay on flallooning, and Daniel O'Rourke's Dream, were the choicest rnorceaux of the evening. The House was crowded, and his reception as flattering and cheering as loud applause and peels of laughter could make it. KING'S THEATRE.—The new Opera, La Gazza Ladra, was repeated at this House last Tuesday night, considerably curtailed. To omit a note of such mas terly music must be painful to a Management that knows how to appreciate one of the finest composi tions that the Italian Stage ever produced. The vo cal qualities of Madame Casiroitext in this Drama are equalled by her impressive and judigions acting. In the Ballet, Mademoiselle NoBLEr iitroduced an additional pas sad, with excellent effect. HAMBUIDGII NAIL. A Mail from Hamburgh arrived this forenoon, with Papers to the 10th instant. The following are extracts: lIAMBURGH MARCH S. For these two days we have had such severe front that the Elbe is again covered with ice, so that the Dutch and French M.tils could not pass over. Mmtcrt B.—The Northern Mails are still due. We only hope that the three from Copenhagen may ar= live without accident to-morrow. It't a ffi rmed that there have been great storms in the Belt, and that trees were torn up by the roots. STOCKHOLM, FEBRUARY 20. Mr. Fitzgerald, the British Ambassador to this Court, has declared officially, that Great Britain will take no active part in the measures -of the Allied Sovereigns against the Kingdom of Naples. The proceedings against Brygger, in the Supreme Court, are daily continued. Ile has accused the fol lowing persons of being acquainted with, or partici pating in the unlawful correspondence :—Mr. Bjorn berg, Counsellor of Commerce; Mr. Borgert, wine merchant; Gibson and Skotte, merchants; and Mad. Tarras, since married to the High Chamberlain, Baron Von Hamilton, all of Gottenburgb. Brygger, however, says that it will he difficult, nay, almost impossible for him to make good his depositions against them all, by evidence or witnesses. But he persists especially in doing his utmost to confirm his accusation against Count Rosen. In the month of August there is to be a camp at Linkopping, or East Gothland, which will be visited by the King and the Crown Prince. On the Ist of March the great Crown forest of Kopengs. Tall on Oelond, will be sold by public auction in small lots. It is wished that the Crown may do the same with nearly all the forests'and parks. No less than forty four farms are advertised for sale in Wermland on the V3d of May, for want of payment of Crown taxes, or advances of corn—all at one auction. Thirty-seven others are advertised' to be sold for the paymdnt of mortgages, which they cannot replace. We regret to hear from several provinces, what was formerly so rare-in Sweden, of burglaries in houses (frequently with murder), and especially in churches. Though Professor Gryer has been found, by the Jury, not guilty, and is therefore discharged from the accusation, yet the Supreme Court, contrary to the opinion of the Committee for the Freedom of ,the Press, has ordered the confiscation of his book Thoria" HANOVER, MARCH s. On the 22d of last month, the Ministry laid before the Diet the Budget of the Kingdom for the year, from the Ist of July, 1820, to the Ist of July, 1821. It appears that the expenditure for this time is 3,108,183 rix-dollars. As the net produce of all the taxes is estimated at only 2,7'23,910 rix dollars, it appears that a sum of 350,000 to 400,000 dollars is wanted to make the revenue equal with the expendi ture. Up to the Ist of November, 1820, the Debt of the Kingdom has been increased by about 272,000 rix-dollars. In consequence of the rectification of Land Tax, 268,800 dollars had been paid back to, persons who had paid too much. On all these cir cumstances a motion is founded to provide for the deficiency by anew loan. BERLIN, MARCH 3. The Emphor of Russia has arrointad a Commit tee at Warsaw, to enquire into the means of reviving the commerce of Poland, and of relieving the land owners, who had become involved in debt in conse quence of the wars. A Mail his also arrived this forenoon from Hol land. An article from the Hague of the 13th March says—" We have received letters from Batavia to the 28th of October, 1820, which bring no news . of any importance. His Majesty's ships Tromp and Sea horse were in the Roads, with a great number of merchantmen." A packet from Jamaica has brought Papers and letters to the 20th of January. We are happy to . state that they, announce the convalescence of the y Duke of MANCIISSTRR. His Grace was able, on the 13th, to attend to business, and Public Meetings were convened to congratulate him upon his recovery. These Papers confirm the contradiction given through the Spanish Papers to the reported capture of Limi, by Lord COCHRANE, but represent it as l an event which was everywhere looked forward to with the greatest confidence. Letters which have been received in Glasgow from Buenos Ayres, reaching to the 17th of December, a day later than the date of the last arrivals from that I quarter in London, make no mention of the great victory reported in the latter to have been gained by , General SAN MARTIN within a hundred miles of Lima ; but they state, that advices had been received at Valparaiso, from General San NIARTIN, dated on, the 14th of October, mentioning that he had taken Picas, and had been joined by some of the Royalist Leaders and their troops. He confidently expected to be in possession of Lima in three months. The Deputies horn Spain had arrive) at Buenos Ayres, but they were refused the laserty to land unless they acknowledged the independence of the common-1 wealth. This they were not authorised to do ; and they were therefore obliged to sail aw,t y. NAVAL lATELLIGENCE. Th e Felicity, WATSON, from Bu sow, w as I ssa ‘ ,stilikttas week near Camplieltoo.

About 270 Ladies and Gentlemen were in the room. A little chimney-sweeper was suffocated yesterday in the flue of a chimney at No. 46, Mortimer -street, Cairendish-square, in consequence of a large pun. tity of loose plaster and rubbish falling down, and jamming in the chimney. The poor sufferer was taken out through a hole made in the party wall, quite dead.

A rare match and high treat to the amateurs, took placers terday on Barham Downs, in Dens and Bucks, as the spat di vided the Counties. It was between George Granger, a tritium, who beat the Bath butcher and others, and 27rormas Hulk& better known by the name of Huntingdon Tom, fur 30w.adda.
