Ministers have carried the Army Estimates, though not without some trouble—the really pa triotic side of the House forced them to a dozen divisions one night, in order to prevent the voting away MILLIONS, at an hour when the requisite exa mination of their necessity was impossible. The honestest part of those who usually support the ad ministration, on this question forsook them, and even Mr. Banks voted against them, b.•cause in his con science he considered a reduction at once desirable, from motives of necessary economy, and unatte-.lded with risk on account of the present state of Europe. —Still will they persist? Is the lesson of revolu tions all around them, arising from the licentious and oppressive measures of the ditkrent European Governments thrown away upon the Cabinet of Carlton-house? We have been frequently accused of revolutionary inclinations—the reverse is the lAA —we, from a frur of such an event, would tvillingl . s prevail on the Government to forsake the path, a persistance in which must unquestionably end in tumult and rebellion—in either entire despotism or uncurbed licentiousness. The motion for a Committee to inquire into the dangerous precedent of the introduction of the midi • tary at the late Carlisle Election, has been carried. Deference for the House of Commons, and its "pri vileges," prevents our animadversions on one of the grossest attempts to invade the right of freedom of Election that we remember. Lord Castlereagh, with all his penchant for military parade and inter ference, did not dare to place his majority against so plain a question regarding the right of Electors, and the motion passed without a division. A GLORIOUS EVENT has taken place—the revolt of the PtAmontese army, and the insurrection of the whole North of Italy against the invaders of Naples. " All Italy (says the letter whence we draw our inrormatien) is in a flume." In the cx tract which we have inserted will be found what ever could be learned on this most interesting subject, from a telegraphic despatch to the French Government, which reached Paris on the afternoon of Wednesday, and was forwarded to London by express. " PAnis, March 14: 5 p. m.—The mill has left Paris, but the intelligence I have just received, from the best authority, is of so decisive a character, that I lose not a moment in conveying it to you by express. The the is earl! The fate (21 the Austrian army is sealed ! ! A telegraphic despatch has been received by the Government announcing that the whole of the Piedmontese troops have arisen, and demanded a free representative constitution, requir ing at the same time they should be allowed to march against the Austrians. From the necessary con,i,encsa and obscurity of a telegraphic despatch, I cannot distinctly collect whether compliance has bin refused to the first or second clause of the de mand of the Piethuantese soldiery. It is imagined THE . NATIONAL REGISTER that a disposition was shown to concede the free constitution, but 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 Ina not proved satisfactory, for the despatch distinctly states that the Picalmontese army, to the number of 40,000 :ma, hare, marched. Prince Carignano was sent after then to endeavour to bring them bark to their duty, but wit:t little hopes of success. The accounts caticluile with these remarkable words—i ALL ITALY Is IN A FLAME." INSURRECTION IN PIEDMONT. The following , intelligence was received yester day by express:— BULLET! N. l'Ams, March 15.—1 t has been impoisible fur the Government longer to conceal the events at Turin, of which it received information by a telegraphic dispatch. It was on the 10th that the garrison of Alexan dria, 10,000 strong, proclaimed the Spanish Con stitution. 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 fin. ever!" The Prince of Carignan and the General Giflanger were sent to Alexandria, but on their arrival there cried, " The Constitution of the Cortes for ever!" and placed themselves at the head of the movement. In this crisis the King of Sardi nia thought to caltn the ferment by offering to grant the French charter, but it has been refused. All the garrisons in Piedmont have fidlowvd the example of that of Alexandria. We have certain in limitation that the Prince of Carignan and Gen Giflenga, at the head of 25,0001, have marched for Milan, and it. is believed that they would enter that city this day, 15th March. The cry of the Piedmontese troops is not only that of " Viva la Constitution I" but also that of" Death to the Austrians 4" 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 great. est sensations at Paris; the Ultras are in the most complete despondency. All eyes are turned to wards Dauphene, and towards Lyons. The movement at Turin was calculated to break out on the 15th, and not before, but the arrests hastened it by five days. ST. GILES'S 1111.111 FItEE SCllool.ll.—Saturday being St. Patrick's Day, the children of the St. Giles's Dish Free Schools in George Street made a most respectable appearance; they were conducted from the school house by Air. Finigan, the superin tendent, to the houses of some of their principal benefactors, where, by hearty cheers, they expressed their thankfulness and gratitude. About twelve o'clock they were publicly examined in the school home, in the presence of a number of distinguished ladies and gentlemen, patrons to the institution, who expressed the utmost stitistdction at their clean, healthy appearance and improvement ; indeed it was truly pleasing to see the young Hibernian. vitting one with the other in the repetition of select portions of the Holy Scripture:, such as on the ail of lying, swearing, stealing, and their ditty to God, to the King, to Magis mites, and their neighbours: Their proficiency, not only in spelling and reading, but also in arithmetic, exceeded our most sanguine expectations. At two o'clock they all sat down to a plentiful dinner, aril enjoyed the returning sweets of another St. Patrick's Day. We are sorry to find. on inquiry, that the funds of this praiseworthy institution are not in so flout is:ling a condition as the laudt.ble design demands. and we therefore most earnestly recommend its further support to the humane c, e detation of a generous public.—ln the evening a numerous assemblage of noblemen and gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner et the City of London 'tavern ; the Doke of Wellington in the chair. The children were introduced otter dinner, a larg.• collection was made, and till a late hour pleas.rtet, life, and conviviality, were the ' genets' order." As some men were digging pact week• in a field adjoining the Edgeware-road, a short distance limn Kilburn. they discovered, about It) feet below the surface of the growth ,a large stone coffin, containing two skeletons—onc of considerable dimensions, the other apparently the skeleton of a child. Also were found near the same place, scv&el ancient coins; one or two of the reign of Henry VIII. which retn. den it very probable that the 'mains were deposited About that period. On the same spot there formerly stood a nunutry of the Benedictine order, founded by Herbert, Abbot of Westminster, in the reign of Henry I. and demolished in the fifteenth century._ On Saturday morning a little &Are one o'clock, a fire broke ont ;n.t.it. John's-street, Clerkenwell.— It raged violently till the engines arrived, when it was speedily extinguished by the activity of tilc fire men, after having de•ttoyed the hoLse in which it originated, and &Imaged the lower rart of ore of the houses next deer. r. r ., NAPLES, FEII. 20.—1 n the sitting of the 1691 inst. M. Semple demanded that the Bishops should be required to ordain public prayers during three days, and to read the collect at mass, which is used in time of war.—(Approved.) On the proposition of M. Poerio, in the name of the Extraordinary Commis,ion, the Assembly adopted • six Decrees, of which tile hillowing are the principal emicttn.mts :- 1. To permit toraigners to 6.411 t tinder the national banners. g. In case the army shall pass the frontier. to consider all Italian;. without exception, as brothers and friends. 3. To establish for Sicily a Prosisional Convulsion of Govern ment, composed of seven Members, to be presided by a General or .‘lat2istrate. 4. To place 32 battalions of militia at the disposal of the Government, to be employed against the enemy. 3. To render liable to march, where urgency may require, seven battalions of the Abruzzes Legion. 6. To create Provincial Assemblies, composed of landed pro. prietors, to provide subsistence for the troops. The sum of 8,50,000 silver tlut•uts was granted to the Minister of War, to maintain, during throe months, 100,000 men, and 5,000 horse. i! In the sitting . of the 17th, the Deputy Luca in formed the assembly that the Prince ite., ,, ent and the Prince de Salerno having determined to join the army, the necessary funds should immediately be furnished, that their departure might not be de layed.—(Sent to the Extraordinary Commission.) A message was read from the .Minister of War stating that he had taken steps !lir forming Guerilla corps throughout the kingdom. - Yesterd.iy the Spanish ambassador received an extraordinary courier from Madrid, which capital he left on the 4th instant. Five thousand Catalonians volunteer their services to partake the fate of their Neapolitan brethren. A 74, a 48-gun frigate, and several smaller vessels of war, will, in the course of the present mouth, arrive in the portsof Naples from Cadiz. Some individuals were arrested here in the course of yesterday and to-day; who were circulating false news as to the force of the enemy, the fechlen,:ss of our troops, and the state of destitution in which they said were several of . our regiments. Verbal Note of M. the Chevalier de Fontenay, French Charge d'AfYaires:— " Al. the Chevalier de Fuotenay, Charge d'Affaires of his Must Christian Majesty, in a private audience, which was granted to him on the same day (the 9th day of P.-bruary) by his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, verbally declared to the Prince tli,d the Mint:ter. Pleinjuteutiary of the King. Mammies., at Laybach, had informed him, that they had adhered to the comnidn instructions sent to the Nlittiscrs of Ansuia. Russia. and Prussia, in the hope of being thereby enabled to avert the perils widch threaten the Neapolitan nation. M. the Chugs d'Affaires added, that he had orders tocu-operate with the above menuoned Ministers, on every occasion when their ptoceedings might have in view means of conciliation, in favour of the King and Elie kingdom of Naples. and to spare the country the inevit able evils winch war and useiess resistance would entail upon it. (A trite copy.) " Time Duke de GALI.O." In reply to the note of the Commander Pagriatella, Nespoll titan Minister of Foreign Affairs ad iaterias, relatively to the French squadron in the Bay of Naples, theCtievaliet de Fontenay. after staitng that its presence is necessary, flan the difSeutt commercial interest! of French subjects, adds that ' he does not hesitate further to inform hi. Excellency, that the Duke de Gallo has received an assurance that the French squadron will continue to perform the pacific duties prescnbail to it tor the interest of the ►ubjects of his Most Cleistian Majesty ; and not only that, but that tie safety and dignity of the Royal Family shall not be compromised by circumstances which it neither wishes nor ought to foram." It is with great satisfaction we find that a select committee has been appointed to take into conside ration the act of Geo. I 11. for regulating the make ing and the sale of bread. The report of this com mittee witl no doubt be extremely important, after hearing the necessary evidence of the titcts relating to the trade, after the threshing out of the corn until the bread is made and sold. The cheapness of wheat, while the farmer is nut paid tin growing the same, is no advantag e to the consumer; for thou g h wheat at 141. a lo ad, the qoartern loaf was kept up at 10.1. when it ought to be no more than 74d It would be well to ascertain the pro..ts that are got from the time the corn is sold by the Feltner until it gets into the hand of the baker ; the two latter it is believed benefit the least, when they . ought in tact o heve the most profit. There was a cou :ty meeting held at Cambridge on Tuesday last, fur the purpose of petitioning toe House of Commoas for a reform in the representae tiun, and Ihr the restoration of her M ..jests to her .rights and privileges. The me:tine was very nume rous and highly respectable. The Deice of iiedton. l , the Marquis of Tavistnek, 111 r. atoning, and Mr. Preme, were among the speakers in favour of the resolutions, which they entOreed with much vigour • and ability. A feeole oppteation was made by Gen. Wall'and Dr. Chaty ; but the original motion was carried amidst immense applause—and the meeting dispersed after giving three cheers for the Queen.
