• • • A- COMBERLANbCOUNTY MSITING. In pursuance of a Requisition, signed by between thrwand four hundred of the most respectable Landed Proprietors in Cumberland, requesting the High She. riff, JOent MARIII64L Esq. to call a Meeting of the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and Freeholders of the County, to consider a-Petition to be presented to Par liament, praying for a diminution of the public bur thens,—for such rigid economy in the expenditure as may render a reduction of taxation practicable and safe ; and more especially for some Reform in the sys tem of Representation, which shall restore to the House of Commons the confidence of the People, and afford a reasonable hope that their prayers will be heard, — their ;.,rievances redressed, and their liberties de fended, by those whom they may hereafter elect as their Representatives; the most numerous and re spectable Meeting ever known in the County took place, at Wigton, on Thursday last. The Chair was taken by the thou SHERIFF.. Mr. J. R. G. GRAHAM, of Netherby, M.P. moved, and Mr. HENRY CURWRN, of Belle Isle, seconded the Resolutions, which being put to the vote, were carried unanimously. Mr.-LAwson, of Brayton Hall, moved a Petition to the House of Commons, embodying these Resolu tions. The motion was seconded by Mr. Beows, of Fallentire Hall, and also carried unanimously. A loud cry being raised for Mr. Brougham, that Gentleman made his appearance, and was, most rap turously received by the Freeholders. Mr. BROUGHAM thanked the Meeting for their kindness and sympathy in allowing him to address them covered. He had been labouring under a most severe indisposition, and nothing but a deep sense of the importance of this Meeting could have prevailed u pon him to leave his, home. - This day, however, he beheld a sight which was sufficient to make a sick man whole, and he might add, many a whole man sick—(Loud cheers). The enemies of 'Reform, the friends of corruption, might have profited by it—they would hear the knell of their hopes tolled at every Meeting of English yeomanry to call for their birth right, a full, fair, and equal r epresentation in Parlia ment--(Losid dteers).—Mr. Brougham concluded a short but impressive speech by moving the Thanks of the Meeting to the High Sheriff.

Florence has not yet arrived.— Everybody here is anxious for netts about Naples. As I mentioned yesterday, the merchants here are all in favour of a Constitution, which will give a security in conducting their affairs which they have not' hitherto enjoyed, and free them from arbitrary exec. tions, to which they have, during the last five years, been exposed. Indeed, it is difficult to conceive how business could be at all carried on under the igno- Pant and variable system which has hitherto existed. An English merchant of great eminence told me that last year he had purchased a great cargo of rice for England. The duty, when he began to ship his pur chase, was seven sous a quintal, and he had ap prized his correspondents in England, that with that stale of duty he could supply them with the whole at such a price; all charges included. He was ship ping the last few quintals of the cargo when he saw an order stuck up raising the duty from seven to twenty sous per quintal. His speculation was thus destroyed. He memorialized the Government. The Chamber of Commerce would not transmit his me morial, because couched in too strong terms. He de sired them to soften the terms, and transmit it to Tu rin. This was done, and in fifteen days he received an answer, that he could have no redress, and that the duty was not higher than it ought to be. This is. only one instance out of many of the arbitrary na ture of the Government exactions. It was a com mon thing with it to consider how much it could gain by taking •aavantage of opportunities like that which 1 have mentioned, when a merchant had a great stock on hand, on which a rise in duty would be a gain to the State. It was to no purpose that com plaints were made. They were never answered. What would be thought in England of partieulir , indivi duals obtaining brevets, to protect them against pay. : ing their debts? Yet such was the case sometimes here under the government of Victor Emmanuel. The ex-Minister, Saint Marsan, for Foreign Affairs, who is now with the old King at Nice, has at this moment in his pocket a brevet of this kind, to pro tect him against paying the purchase-money. of ex tensive landed property, of which he obtained the title-deeds after the King's return. There was no confidence in the administration of justice in this town under the old regime. The Senate could be assembled at any time for a few Napoleons; but its decisions never commanded much respect; and to the Chamber of Commerce it was useless to make an appeal. A mercantile community was governed, by Authorities who understood nothing of trade or commerce, and who considered every paltry art allow able that answered the immediate purpose of raising money. The Provisional Government, under the title of the Administrative Commissionary Govern wept, is likely to be very popular. They have issued a Decree to lower the duties on the three chief arti cles of common consumption here—salt, grain, and wine. There are only two Nobles among the per sons composing this Commission: the rest are mer chants or bankers. This may account for some of its acts, which have hitherto been wise. =TRACT OF A LETTRR, RATIO MAMAS ' MARCH 25 se The Austrians entered on the 24th . The division that entered, amounted, it was said, to seven or eig ht thousand men—cavalry, artillery, and infantry, ]Ty rolese and Hungarians ; but the number appeared to me to be much greater. According to the custom of the Austrian Army, a great many of the troops had sprigs of laurel in their caps. The people seemed perfectly passive. I did not see the smallest sign of approbation or disapprobation ; nor did I see one in dividual take off his hat to them, except the Prince Regent, who stood all the time on the balcony of the Palace, with his brother Leopold. These Royal per sonages received them with bows and smiles. After the protestations he had made, it would have been more decent to have remained concealed for that day. I did not know they were to enter on the 24th ; for the Public at Naples scarcely knew any of the plans of Government beforehand. The first I saw were cavalry, with a few children running and screaming before, and occasionally crying Viva it Re ! but no person above 15 years of age joined them, and those children were the very lowest of the rabble, and I don't think amounted to twenty. I saw no person of any respectability looking at them. The Chiaia, where there are generally so many people, was filled only with Austrians, and scarcely one Neapolitan was seen on the balcony. It is said some waved white handkerchiefs from the windows in the Toledo but I saw a part of the street, and I did not ob serve one. C d first Austrians I saw were two Dra goons : they passed through the Toledo early in the morning, one of them carrying a stick as they carry their swords when drawn ; be seemed by his war gish look to say—a stick is sufficient to fight the Neapolitans !" TURIN, MARCH Si. The garrisons in Savoy, those of Vercelii, Alessan dria, and Genoa, are daily receiving reinforcements from the provincial contingents : these garrisons are in perfect harmony with the inhabitants, remain at tached to the Constitution, and obey the orders of the Junta. The only garrison which shews any difference of opinion is that of Novara. The 6,000 men which are there under . General Latour, have announced that they will remain faithful to the King, but have at the same time declared that they will not fight against their brothers in arms, who have proclaimed the Constitution. The Prince of Carignano, who is lost for ever in public opinion, intends, it is said, to go to his mother, at Dresden. We have this moment received, from Genoa, intel ligence of great importance to trade. The Tunisian fleet, consisting of seven ships of war, each mounting thirty guns and upwards, which was on the point of sailing to cruize in the Mediterranean, has been de stroyed by a dreadful tempest in the port of Goteto. Men, ships, and arms of every kind have become the prey of the waves. The new King has lately issued the following PROCLAMATION. We, Charles Fells of Savoy, Duke of Osseinis, “ By our Manifesto of the 16th ultimo we sidlielendy made known our intentions relative to rebelliousind seditious subjects, well as to the form of Government, will& we wish to pre serve such as it existed before the abdication of the King, our wen-beloved brother. Meanwhile, we, by the present Decree, establish provisionally, and until further orders, three Governors- General--one in the Duchy of Savoy, the other in Genoa, and the third in our Continental States ; each of whom is invested with all military, civil, and economical intsbority, and shall be• subject only to our immediate orders. In consequence whereof• we introit the Government of Savoy to Muumuu Count Sal" moor d'Andezeno, that of . Genoa to General Count Desgeneix and that of the ot her Continental States to Lieutenant - Genera l Count Sallies de Latour. We accordingly order all the several Governors, Royal °Beers, Intendants, Prefects. Treasurers, Judges, due. incloding every Departmedt, to take their orders, until new regulations be adopted, from the before-named Governors. We also desire that the Magistrates of every class, who have revisit:of faithful to the. Throne, shall condone to sit, as heretofore, in their Courts , and to render and to adminieter prqmpt and impartial justice. " But as in such circumstances it is from Heaver: the neces sary aid is Welly to be expected, we, therefore, make town to the Archbishops, Bbhops, and all EcciesiastiCal Functionaries, invested with the Holy Ministry, our earnest wish that they do address their prayers to Maseru, to invoke the Mon Hum, and partifLiar the Yuman Maar, the mother of GOD, who has n the most powerful protection of the States of our family.

This,bowever, is not yet immediate ; but, however near or remote this may be, the insurrection in Moldavia and Wal lachia, as our Readers will see by the following letter, received this day from Augsburgh, has not been put down; and however ready Russia may be to assist the PORTE, the Insurgents calculate on a different policy on the part of ALEXANDER, and actually hope for his support : . _ _ “ AUGSBURGH, MARCH 27. gi A Russian Officer, coming express from Bu charest, has passed through Vienna, where a report has been spread that an insurrection had broken out at Jassy, and that Moldavia and Wallachia had asked the protection of Russia." A letter from Hungary, of the 10th March, con firming the statement of the troubles in Wallachia, says—" One Theodore, formerly a Chief of Banditti, has put himself at the head of some thousand Walla chians, with whom he traverses the country, styling himself the Champion of Justice, and proclaiming that he desires a native of the country, and not a Greek, for Governor. He has a great number of par tisans. It is said that he has possession of two dis tricts, and has advanced against the city of Krajowa. All the Wallachians are in his favour, except the Brayans (Nobles), who take refuge in Turkey, to escape the animosity of their vassals, over whom they ,exercise an odious despotism. It is affirmed that the Austrian Regiment of Hussars, stationed near Temes war, has proceeded towards the frontiers of Hungary, . and that this Theodore, who calls himself Generalis simo, has already sent Envoys to the Monarchs at Laybach." As to the affairs of Italy, so far as respects Naples, they are its as bad a state as could possibly be pro duced by cowardice and treachery. But there is a spirit abroad in that quarter, which, we have no doubt, will ultimately establish the independence of Italy ; and that, too, at a period by no means so re mote as some bad men would wish to persuade them selves. It will be seen, by private letters from Genoa and Turin, given in another part of our Paper, and by the subjoined extracts from Paris Papers•ef Thurs day and Friday, that the Piedmontese still stand out, and that they hope for support from the piople of other / parts of Italy, in their efforts not only to shake off the yoke of foreigners, but to break the chaini that weie imposed upon them by the Congress of Vienna. It was thought by many, that the selfish measures adopted by the confederated Sovereigns, after they had pulled down NAPOLEON, would ulti mately hasten their own ruin, and especially the iru- policy of their measures respecting Italy. Th ey aspired only to consolidate their own power an th e ruins of that which they had overthrown ; and to ac, complisit this, they scrupled not to violate every p ro . elamation wibich they had issued during the war—. that is, during the time of their own distress, and when they were anxious to obtain the co-ope ra . lion of the People. The audacious inteArence with the rights of independent States, and the transfer of millions of people, against their consent, from one Despot to another, which formed the prin cipal part of the proceedings of the Vienna Con gress, are sufficiently well known to our Readers, and have excited the eiecratioa of all Europe,_. No country, hOwever, has so good a right to com plain of the acts of that Assembly as Iraly. In op position to tbe earnest prayers and entreaties of every person of consideration, she was again parcelled out into different States. Naples, Piedmont, the Papal Dominions, Tuscany, &c. were delivered over, with,. out any stipulation whatever, into the hands sr their former Sovereigns. But a different and more ignominious fate awaited Venice, Genoa, and gusa. The form, if not the spirit of the Repubbearr Government of the middle ages had been prese rve d in these States up to the era of the French Bevan tion, and it might have been expected that they too would have been restored by the Congress. But at The Legitimates dreaded even the shadow of pop Government. And, with the most sovereign ten. tempt for the rights and feelings of others, annexed Venice and Ragusa to Austria, and Genoa toSardinial And how have the People who were thus transferwil to new masters, with as little ceremony as the bola. rout boors of Russia, been since treated ? Hear aim traveller (Mr. blarrirksys)—" The Austrians Ms Italy with a rod of iron; or, as theltalians say, they rule it as if they were to be turned out to morrow. The conscription, the taxes, the rigid exclusion of English manufactures, are all continued; and the manner in which their oppressors exercise their rule is as offensive to the Italians as its spirit. They are utterly without the snaviter in modo which made the Frenelt individually popular in spite of their oppressions ' and the Italians always speak of the Tudescia as Is bruits genie." Can such things last for ever ? No, no. " The Kingdom of Italy," a term now common in the muds of the People in that oppressed country, wdl mkt be something more than a mere name. PARIS, APRIL 5.
