Bari Gazv's)notion for information as to the con duct of our Government in respect to Naples, was to have come on last night ; but, in consequence of the intelligence respecting the march of thc Austrian army, has been deferred till Monday next. Our Readers will however see, by some subjoined accounts, that the intelligence which caused this postponement is by no means so certain as was at first believed. The Bill before the Commons for disfranchising the Borough of Grampound, and transferring the right of electing Representatives in Parliament to one of the populous Boroughs, was committed last night, and caused rather an interesting discussion. Lord Joins Russets., previous to the House resolvent itself -into a Committee, moved,• that it should be an instruction to the Committee, that " Leeds" should be inserted as the &rough to elect Members in fu ' ture. Mr. DAviss GILUENT proposed, as an Amend ment, that the franchise of which Grampound was deprived should be extended to the adjoining Hun dreds—a Motion natural enough from those who feel an interest in extending the Cornish interest; but the House, by its vote, seemed to think Cornwall at least as fully represented as any County in England, for, on the division, there appeared— For Leeds 136 Against it 66 • Majority 70 This decision will, we are sure, be approved of by the Country generally; but whether the House of Lords will participate in the common feeling, re- mains to be seen. Some Members, in delivering their sentiments in favour of the transfer, took occasion to intimate that they were not thereby to be understood as pledging themselves to a Reform in Parliament. We confess that we do not well understand what is meant by this reservation ; for, to all intents and purposes, such proceedings'as the present are a practical Reform in the Representatiosr: nor is any other kind of Reform necessary, provided the principle were only carried far enough. But of this we have no hope ; for, how ever possible it may be, where the interests of only a few corrupt Boroughmongers are concerned, to put an end to their trade in selling seats, we think it will ever be found very difficult to apply the same re• reedy where the Borough has become the pro perty of Lords, or of large landed proprietors.— ' The Majority of the Members of Parliament can have no common interest with the simple pot-wal loper, but it is far otherwise with the great majority of the rotten Boroughs. However, we are happy to see any measure of reform put in actual practice, and therefore we hail the present admission of the House of Commons as favourable to the longevity of our present Constitution : but should this Bill be thrown out of the House of Lords, it will hardly be possible to consider the maladies which have assailed the Constitution of the country as otherwise than most inveterate, and as threatening its absolute dissolution. This ni,ght the question of the restoration of the Qouts's name to the Liturgy comes on in the House of Commons, and it is expected will produce an ani mated discussion. Since our yesterday's publication, we have received the Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday. We have not met with anything in them to confirm the report which was yesterday so generally credited, of the Austrian Army having passed the Po; but on the contrary, with many notices, which incline us to be lieve that the report is altogether premature. The passage was stated to have taken place on the 29th, but no intelligence of such an event had been re ceived either at Inspruck on the 30th January, or at Frankfort on the sth of February. The latest ac counts too from Laybach state, that it was not until the 26th of January that the Duke de GALLO, the Neapolitan Minister for Foreign Affairs, was ad mitted into the presence of the Ministers of the Allied Powers, and that he was not expected to take his departure till the '2Bth, with that ultimatum, on the acquiescence of the Neapolitans, in which the question of peace or war is understood to depend.-- It is also worthy of notice, that Lord STEWART, the British Plenipotentiary; did not arrive at Laybach till the 24th of January, previous to whose appear ance •it is far from likely that anything definitive would have been resolved on; so that to bear out the story of hostilities having commenced on the 29th, the Congress must have began and finished their de liberations; the ultimatum must have been delivered, the answer to it must have been received, and the order to the Austrian Army must have been dis patched and hare reached its destination, all within the brief space of four days.— a rapidit y , of operation barely possible, but Oita remote from probability. I s t is easy to see, however, that at the date of these accounts little or no expectation was generally enter tained in the South of Europe that the Neapolitan Parliament would agree to the proposition of fhe Allied Powers, nor could it, indeed, be anticipated, that the Parliament would for a moment entertain a proposition, coming under such circumstances from Foreign Powers, particularly if, as stated, that pro position was nothing less than a command to the Parliament to dissolve itself. In some of the state ments it is mentioned, that the Bing of NAPLES meant to go to Vienna, to await the issue of the contest. — This would, of course, imply, that he perfectly agreed with the Allied Powers in the attack upon his sub jects, but his intention of going to Vienna is, in other accounts, denied; and he is said to have declared firmly against every scheme which can compromise the independence of Naples. The following are extracts : INSpRUCK, JANUARY 30. A very recent letter from Verona, dated the day before yesterday, and which we have this moment received, states, that the preparations for the passage of the Po continued, but that no corps of the Augrian Army had yet passed that River, and that the Head quarters of. General Frimont were still at Treviso, although the Staffs and the Military Chancellaries had received orders to prepare for their departure. The different corps of the Austrian Army were ready for a campaign, and only waited for the ulti mate orders to put themselves in march. This intel ligence, on the authenticity of which ire can depend, refutes the rumours circulated a week since in Southern Germany, that war had been declared, and that the Austrian Army had crossed the Po. FRANKFORT, FEBRUARYS. Our-journals remark that the last accounts make no further mention of the passage of the Po by the Austrian army. AUGSBURG, FRBRUARY 3. The intelligerice from Laybach becomes every day. more contradictory. It was said,, a few days since, that the King of Naples had declared himself wholly against the new system introduced into his States. To-day the contrary is maintained, it being asserted that his Majesty has pronounced, with much firmness, against all the projects which have for their object to attack the independence of Naples. VIENNA, JANUARY 29. It was only on the 26th that the Duke of Gallo was admitted to the Committee of the Ministers of the Allied Powers. It is therefore not believed that he could set off before the 28th to carry to the Nea politan Parliament the order to dissolve itself. It. is confidently asserted that King Ferdinand has pub lished a Declaration which makes some changes in the plan proposed. It is doubtful whether this Monarch will come to Vienna ; it appears, on the contrary, that he will spew himself at the head of the army, to prevent the effusion of blood, and make the . arms fall from the hands of the Neapolitan troops. LAYBACH, JANUARY 2S. Lord Stewart, the Engli Ji Ambassador, and the Commander Saldanha da Gana, Minister Plenipo. tentiary from Portugal, arrived here the day before yesterday. VIENNA, JANUARY 31. It appears that the deliberations of the Congress will extend to some length, for there is talk of an ex cursion of pleasure which the Allied Sovereigns and the King of Naples are to make to Trieste. French Five per Cents. Friday, 84 fr. 10 c. Accounts from Naples, of the 24th of January, state, that on the preceding day the public tranquil lity experienced a partial interruption. Between six and seven o'clock at night, groupes of people collected at five or six different points of the city : it was said that the arrest of a Carbonaro was the cause of their assembling, and that their design was to libetate him. All of a sudden, they began to run through the streets, discharging pistols in the air, and uttering menacing cries. A shot having been fired before the King's Pa lace, the guard sallied forth, and discharging a volley over the heads of the mob, caused them immediately to disperse. 48 The simultaneous movement," it is added, " of so many groupes evidently indicate that there was a plot." By the satne accounts, we have the more impor tanf intelligence of the dissolution, for the present, of, the Neapolitan Parliament. It is said, that it was de- I cidedly to dissolve itself on the 31st January. In the Sitting of the 21st, it named the Permanent Depute- tion, which is to act for it till the next Session (Ist March, 1822). It consists of nine Members, six for' the Continental Provinces, and three for Sicily. In addition to the fleets which have taken asingu lar liking to the Bay of Naples at the present junc ture, the Neapolitans are in expectation of seeing a squadron of the KING of the NIITHERLANDS, which has been for some time cruising in the Mediterranean. Further accounts from Oporto describe the late' overflow of the Douro as unexampled in the history of Portugal, for the injury it has done. Almost the whole city was inundated, and in many of the streets the inhabitants could only leave their houses in boats. AU the ships which were in the port suffered great damage. Six ships, of which twe were English, laden with wine the FairHillernials, and the Matilda, were carried away by the current, and wrecked The Fair 11Theraian had four me on board, who perished. The rain of the flood continued for forty eight hours. On the 16th January the waters had considerably diminished; but the people of Oporto were still in a state of apprehension. The whole of the damage done had not, at the date of these ac counts, been estimated, but what was already known was enormous. The vast wine magazines of Villa Nova had suffered, but to what extent is not stated. BRIGHTON, FEBRUARY 11. Our most gracious MONARCH continues in the hap piest enjoyment of sound health and good spirits. His MAJESTY, on Friday, Saturday, • and this after noon, took lengthened walks on th e Palace lawn. The Princess AUGUSTA, accompanied by Lady MARY TAYLOR, has daily taken carriage airings since her arrival on Thursday. Divine Service, in the presence of the Sovartztort, her Royal Highness, Royal Suite, and Household, was performed at the Palace this morning, by the Dean of HEREFORD. _ _ _ Mrs. FITZHERBERT has fitted up a beautiful little Theatre in her marine residence on the . steyne, and after the performance gives a ball and supper. The pieces performed on Thursday evening last were Raising the Rind, and Who's the Dupe, personated by amateurs, amongst which Lord NORMANDY, Lord A. Hat., and Miss SEYMOUR, sustained the principal parts with much spirit and propriety. THE QUEEN. Yesterday being a day appointed by her MAJESTY for receiving Addresses, a great number were pre sented by Deputations, or individual Members of Par liament. Some of the Deputations were numerous, and splendidly equipped. That from SpitalfiAds, which consisted of twelve carriages filled with Gen tlemen and Ladies, the first drawn ,by sit, and the others by four horses, attracted much attention. The procession of the Bookbinders, of the Deputation from the Parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr, and from the Committee for es corting her MAJESTY to St. Paul's, were next in or der. The different Deputations, and Gentlemen with Addresses, had arrived before one o'clock. When her Ala./Eirx entered the Gallery to receive them, she was attended by Lady ANNE HAMILTON, the Duke of LEINITER, Lord FOLEY, Mr. MADoCES, M.P. Mr. HONYWOOD, M.P. Mr. WILLIAMS, M.P. Mr. PRIMROSE,. M.P. Alderman WOOO, M.P. and several other Gentlemen of great respectability.— The Deputations, on presenting their Addresses, had the honour of kissing the Quarles hand. The bearer of that from St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr, read the Address with which he was entrusted in a very distinct and impressive manner, and, when he had concluded it, thus further addressed her MAJESTY :—"" We think it right to inform your MAJESTY, that we have likewise voted a loyal Ad dress to his MAJESTY, and that we think the expres sion of our attachment to the person and Government of our SOVEREIGN perfectly consistent with our con viction of the innocence, and our admiration of the virtues, of his Illustrious Consort, whose prosecution he would never have permitted, had he not been misled by evil counsels."—Her MAJESTY seemed par ticularly pleased with this tribute of respect and af fection to her Royal Husband. The QUEEN seemed in excellent health and spirits, and went through every part of the ceremony with great grace and dignity. A great number of persons were collected before the door to see the arrival of the Deputations. by whom her MAJESTY, as she :hewed herself at the window, was received with the most lively acclamations.

The festive-gaiety of this Fashionable Watering place has been renewed this week with increased eclat. On Wednesday evening Sir HENRY and Lady OssLow gave a grand Ball and Supper at their resi dence in Gloucester-row. Upwards of eighty Ladies and Gentlemen were invited to this Fete, which, for elegance and tasteful display, combined with the hospitality and polite attention of the worthy Ba ronet and his Lady to their welcome guests, rendered it doubly gratifying. The Supper was most sumptu ous lard inviting, and the merry dance was continued with spirit and vivacity till Aurora intruded her smiles. Lord CASTLEREAGH, we are happy to state, is much better; his Lordship has had a slight attack of the gout, by which he was prevented from doing the honours of his table on Saturday last. Lady CASTLE- REACH and his Lordship, will give two grand enter tainments on Saturday and Sunday next ; and yester day they issued fresh calls for two more grand par-. ties, to take place the 28th inst. and the 3d of March. A Correspondent, well acquainted with the state of Lancashire, informs us that important•discoveries have been made relative to the seizures of arms in that County, which illustrate the truth of the old adage, « They that hide know where to find." The subject will immediately be brought before the House of Commons. /ivied, the goldsmith, who fired at the late Kzaa, while at Covent-Garden Theatre, in the Year 1795, is still confined in Bethlem Hospital, u a State prisoner. He is in good health ; and, since the commencement of the new Reign, has been anxi ously looking for his calargement—an expectation which is per lhaps not Witty to be realised. Lieutenant Dun, a half-pay officer, the unhappy tnaalac who fired at, and slightly wounded Lord PALIIIIIISTON the Secretary at War, fer some alleged complaint against his Lordship in office, about two or three years ago, is confined in Bethlem Hos pital, and still continues in a state of mental disorder.
