Expresses arrived in town on .Fridvy from Paris, by which we learn, with infinite pain, that the Neapolitans have been defeated with great loss ; and, it is furtl.er added, that a negociation had been entered into between the Belligerents. The following is a copy of a notice posted on the Exchange at Paris, in the afternoon of Wednesday last, by order of M. Roy, Minister of Finance : " Tfiere has been on the 7th inst. an engagement between the Austrians and the Neapolitans. The latter had advanced on Rieti, which was occupied by the Austrians. They were repulsed with con siderable loss. The Austrian army has entered the Abruzzi; many prisoners have &lien into their hands, and the greatest disorder appears to reign in the Neapolitan army." It is said of his Satannic Majesty that lie " is not so black as he is painted :"—tve begin to think that the House of Commons has suffixed similar injustice —for on Wednesday night last, when the repeal of the lately imposed milt duties was the subject of debate, though supported by all whose vote could be influenced by Lord Castlereagh's finger—MI NISTERS WERE LEFT IN A MINORITY OF '2 4 ! ! We all remember the fable of the Jack-ass, who determined to imitate a favourite lap-dog, and jus such asses are the members of the present admi nistration. Mr. Pitt, who unfortunately for his country, possessed transcendant ability, was en tirely mad according to Locke—who says, that Madmen reason right upon wrong principles."— The present administration possess all his obstinacy without his strong mind, and imitating him they say—" We will not resign, though we be in re peated minorities,"—it therefore remains for the eople to exercise their right of petition to the throne for the purpose of getting rid of them.— The County of Suffolk headed by the Duke of Grafton, has set a noble example to the country at large, and we do not despair of seeing it flillowed by every county and tangible body in the king dom. The English government professes perfect neu trality in the present struggle between tyranny and liberty—between vice and virtue—between villany and honesty :—and how does that government re deem its profession—why, anticipating that their in herent feelings would prompt the British officers on half-pay to other their assistance to the oppressed, they publish an order in council prohibiting them, under pain of the loss of their scanty pittances, from entering into the service of cithe'• of the con tending parties—this is really a libel by implication —for can any one suppose that an English officer would at once disgrace his country and his profession by aiding Austria in her present infamous attempt? It would therefore have been much more candid, and much more honest if the order had stated that • . ;••• •. 93 " Whereas we have reason to believe that many of our brave subjects, fgeling as Englishmen, are inclined to aid the Neapolitans in the defence of their Rights and Liberties, an inclination which we, though we paters entire neutrality, are determined to render nugatory—we therefore by and with the advice of our Privy Council do declare, that Any and every officer bearing our commission who shall so act shall be cashiercd"—this would have done honour to the candour of ministers. however their honesty might have been questioned. The Paris papers of Wednesday contain the cut lowing Austrian account of what we doubt not will turn out to have been a very partial and inbignifi- cant afftir : " An account from the Austrian head-quarters at Rieti, of the Bth March, says—' the enemy, to the number of 9.000 men, advanced yesterday, the 7th, in the direction of Rieti, and att.,cked the corps under the command of Gen . . Count Walmoden.— The child of the advanced guard of this General was sufficient completely to beat the Neapolitan corps, which fell back upon Civita-Ducale, in the greatest disorder. A second column of the enemy came from Lioneesa, anA attacked near Pie-di-Lugo, Col. Schnieder, who bad need of only half a company of chasseurs to disperse them completely ; It was only the night and the precipitate flight of the enemy which hindered our troops from profiting by all their advantages. ' These two actions have already sufficed to make many prisoners, among whom is a Captain of the staff of Gen. Pepe. The Neapolitans being vigoury ously repulsed, fell balk in a confusion which die night served to augment. Our troops entered at ten o'clock at night into Civatas Dun*le, which the enemy had pillagad before they retreated. One cannon and two caissons were taken, The Austrians have been welcomed • at Civita.Ducale as deliverers. The spitit of the inhabitants of the Abbruxas is excellent. Our loss is estimated at 50 men. A Captain of the 7th bat talion of chasseurs was killed, and two other officers wounded.' " A letter from Paris states, that persons are ac tively employed in various parts of France in induc ing the disbanded officers and soldiers of Napoleon's army to repair to the standard of the Prince of Ca rignan°, under the assurance that the Prince will gratefully accept their services in assisting him to drive the Austrians out of Italy. The situation of Piedmont, with respect to France, will afford the Prince the greatest facilities in recruiting his army with the French veteran troops, in the eevnt of a war between Piedmont and Austria. On Friday bast Mr. William Barron, of Derby, corn-dealer, was convicted before the Borough Magistrate, in a mitigated penalty, for not Inoing on the 3d of March instant, delivered to Mr. Thos. Crayne, the receiver of assize returns, a true and exact return of the prices of all the wheat bought by him in the borough of I)erby within seven days then preceding.
