;RP IJ. - • - r . .• ' • ' FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PA Ric MA nc tr 11.-- The journals of Naples do not contain any thing very important to-day, unless be a proposal which bas been made to the Par liament by the Deputy Borelli, to give the dicta torship to the Prince Regent, to whom would be added a committee of seine members ehoseit.among those who enjoy the highest degree of public es teem. The proposal was seconded, end referred to a committee, which is to make its report immedi ately. There is no longer any doubt of the insurrection of a part of the Marches. Wherever the Neapo litan partisans have shown themselves, they have been received as deliverers, and the tri-coloured flag waves in the parts they have visited. The enthusiasm maintains itself; or rather it daily increases. The Parliament has addressed an ener- getic and moving proclamation to the army All persons who arrive from Italy agree in saying that it is in the greatest ferment; and already the constitution of Spain is openly spoken of. It' the Neapolitans resist only one month, there is no doubt that the North of Italy will rise. People's minds seem generally prepared for this. What is certain is, that several Austrian officers have passed through Milan under strict arrest ; and it is not doubted but that it is on account of opi nions which they have manifested. It is also said that the vanguard of General W. Pepe has beaten a regiment of Hungarian hussars, and that they have sustained great luss. It appears that Gen. Frimont temporises, waiting for the reinforcements which are necessary for him. —lt is said that a great many persons have been arrested. The plan of the conspirators was to form a Constitutional Government, and to revolutionize Lombardy, in order to make a diversion to impede the military operations of the Austrians against Naples. MARCH 12.—T0-day before mass, the Chevalier de &Maxi d'Atiaru presented to the Kin g , in a pub lic audience, the letters of his Majesty the King of Spain, which accredit him as Envoy Extraordinary, and Minister Plenipotentiary to his Majesty. Our accounts from the frontiers of Spain say that the exaggerated system of prohibition of all foreign goods has caused smuggling to be carried to such an extent, that contraband manufactures and produce are far inure abundant in Catalonia than at any for mer period. The news of a commotion at Barce lona, the object of which was to oblige foreigners to quit Spain, is entirely destitute of foundation. The events in Spain and Naples have caused no decline in the commercial afl:iirs of Lyons. The usual monthly estimate is 600 to 680 bales of silk : last mouth it was 1,000 bales, though it was a month of 28 days only. MILAN, MARCH 4.—The division of Walmoden, which has arrived along the coast of the Adriatic at Serravalle, come into communication on the 21st, near Foligno, with the van guard of the General in -chief, Baron Frimont. This vanguard, thus re inforced, advanced on the 24ah towards Spoleto. 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 Nand and San Gcnievi, by means of detached posts. The Neapolitan General, Filangieri, was near Fondi with a small corps; General Arcovita at San Germano, and Ceprutii and Pepe near Aequi. On the 20. h 8,000 'ten of the corps of Pepe, with nine pieces of cannon, appeared at Itieti, after push ing their advanced guard as far as Tcrni. On the 22d another advanced guard of 1,000 men (as the first was) appeared at Monte San Vito, towards Spoleto. 'I his corps had come from Aquila by the way of Leonessa. The Neapolitans, who had advanced upon Fermo and Ascoli, have &lien back, on the 20th, upon Aquila. Every thing gives ground to believe that very few military events will occur upon the frontier of Ter retina, but that important aflairs o ill very syon take place in the Abruzzi. I lie Neapolitans have con centrated their princi i .al forces on this side. Eaa-aet of a private letter, dated March 12. '• Travellers just arrived from Italy state, that they had lx en overtaken by a courier, who told them that a . oattle had taken place at the foot of Mount Broxo, near Terni, a,d that the Neapolitans had gained victory?' VIENNA. FER. 28.—Letters from Laybach an nounce that there is a certain stagnation in the negotiations at this moment, which is attributed to a tune that the Court of London has tamed to be d •iivered to the C. ngress. It is asserted that the present state of Spain and Portugal has been Ilia object of several coubreitccs between the fringe de Nletterilicti and M. de Capo d'lstria. Tvat N, Neapoiitan G,aieral Carraeosa arrived at Tend, in the ho.. au staws, on the 25th of February, at the head of a body of Ik a la treaps.

It is confirmed that Marshal Frimont has written to Milan to cause his reserve to advance. the regular troops of Na ples are estimated at 100,000 men, all of whom scent to be animated with the best spirit. Enthu siasm is at its height at Naples. The remarkable slowness of the movements of the Austrian army is well culcUlated to encourage their adversaries. The first effect of terror which was to have been ex pected from the invasion is dissipated. We are assured that Pepe has req tested General Frimont to establish a guard of safety at Rome.— This request was caused by the audacity of the Neapolitan partisans, who push forward in every direction several leagues beyond the frontiers. MADRID, MARCH 2.—The number of partizans of the Institutions increase prodigiously, particu lady in the trading classes of society, who find no ' thing but advantages from them. The troops of the line anti the na•ional guards are animated with the most lively enthusiasm for the constitution; whence its enemies seeing themselves deprived of hope, and not being able to make any general enterprise, are reduced to partial attempts by isolated means. Within the last few days four persons attacked the brave Colonel Torrijos; but he put three of them to flight with his sword; and the fourth, after been wounded, begged his life, offering to declare the names of his accomplices, and of him who insti gated them. The Cortes and the Government are taking the most energetic measures to repress such attempts. M•DRID, MARCH 3.—On the 25th ultimo, the Cortes held their last preparatory committee, after which a deputation repaired to the palace to an nounce to his Majesty that the Cortes would open its sittings on the Ist of March, and to enquire whether the King's intention was to be present in person. His M..jesty teceived the deputation with his accustomed kindness : anti answered that he would be present at the opening of the Curtes on the Ist, at ten in the morning. On the Ist of March, the King, attended by a strong escort, repaired to the hall of the Cortes, and opened the sitting in the followilig speech : " Gentlemen Deputies—ln seeing surrounded, for the second time, by the worthy Representatives of that heroic nation, which has f,ivcn so many proofs of its love and its attachment to my Royal Person, my grateful heart cannot be prevented from rendering thanks to the Almighty, who has re-established me on the throne of my ancestors.' His Majesty then announces that the Minister of finances will lay the budget of expenditure for the ensuing year before them; and congratulates the Cortes on the rapid revival of all the arts of' peace— on the restoration of credit abroad—on the cessation of hostilities in America—and the prospect of the colonies being re-united to the mother country as integral parts of the same empire. " But," continues his Majesty, " I hope the Cortes, in fulfilling their important functions, will be persuaded of the necessity of taking prompt measures to repress the audacity of those who, encouraged rather than awed by moderation of system, dare to trouble the new order of things, and that they will at the same time give to the Executive govern ment the Timmy force which public tranquillity demands under existing circumstances, and without which it is impossible to heal the evils which have for so many ages afflicted the nation. "The state of our diplomatic relations with the other Powers continues as it was. We happily preserve with them those re lations of amity and good faith which existed at the period of the preceding Sitting. The ratification which I have thought it proper to give, with the authority of the Cortes, to the. Treaty ft), the cession of the Hondas, and the fixation of the limits with the United States of America, has taken place within too recent a period to allow of this Government having, as yet, had any advice of its heing received. " The resolution taken in the Congress of Troppati, and con. tinued in that of Laybach by the Sovereigns of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, of interfering with the change of Foldical regime established in the Two Sicillies hay excited all my solicituoe, as well from consideration ter the Royal Family of that Kingdom, united to mine by the ties of blood, as from the interest which I feel for the welfare of the people of the Two Sicilles, and because it imports much to the independence of States, that toe sacred rights of nations and then Princes should be regularly respected. I have thought it indispensable to the honour of my throne, to the dignity of the great nation which I glory in governing, to make it known through the proper channels, that 1 will recognise nothing which may be contrary to that I.w-hive public law, upon which are founded the liberty, independence, and prosperity of nations ; a principle which, on her part, Spain will inviolably respect towards others. I have the satisfaction to announee to the Cones that the Allied Sovereigns, according to ail the com munications which I have received up to the present moment, have, and are agreed, to respect this principle, in as tar as re gards Spain " Such being the different objects which the King hopes the Cortes will take into their consideration, his Majesty proceeds, after some complimentary ex pressions, to allude to the insults offered to his royal person, and the attempts made to seduce the credulous into a belief that he entertains at heart views opposed to the existing system. I must, not this day, conceal from the Cortes, as principally charged with preserving the mviolability which it wishes to be observed towards a Constilu:ivnal King, that these insults would not have hen repeated if the Executive Power had displayed all :he energy which the Constitution prescribes, and which the Coates dei•ire. The want of firmness, and the inactivity of many Autlioriti. ;, have caused the r,newal of such excesses ; and it they continue. it will not be astor.ishiligalioult! the Spanish nr,..iuti I e involved in evils and misfortunes innumerable." His Majesty concludes Ly un earnest exhortation to the Cortes to co-operate with him iu e..nsolidating that systern of thine which they had Fropostd to themselves, and to which he protests, in the face of the nation, his resolution to adhere. The president replied, according to the custom, in vague and general terms. After the departure of the King, Count Torreno proposed that a committee should he named to draw up an answer to the speech of the King. It was necessary, he said, to satisfy Europe and the nation on the points which his Majesty had treated of; it was necessary that all the world should know what the Natioaal Congress thinks of the events of Naples and the congress of Laybach. A committee of live members was accordingly appointed. On the same evening,_the whole of the ministers, with ihe exception of the minister of marine, sent in their resignation ; and the principal clerks, who were charged par interim with the (tat:rent pork. Ouilles, also sent in their's next morning. FROM SATURDAY NIGIIT"S GAZET7'R. BANKRUPTCIES ENLARGED. J. Bora, Swansea, Glamorganshire, cabinet maker, from March 27 to April 2G. J.

The Sieira Leone Gaslite, of the 25th November, contains the following article :—" On Friday, the 10th instant, a select party was male to visit Al mamy Dalian Mahommadon, on the Bullam shore. It was a secret known on!) , to a very few in the colony, that this worthy Chief had a grand festival on that duty, on the occasion of taking to himself sixteen new wives, in addition to the moderate nuniLer of eighty-nine, to whom he was already wedded ! All the Chiefs iu the country, with their principal retaker, were invited. The company al together consisted of many hundreds. The fact relative to the apprehension of vagrants, in St. George's parish, was stated, not as an instance of detect in the law, but in proof of tl.e inactivity of the parochial police, without whose zealous co t.perat ion the of of the society for the suppression of mendicity can never be accomplished.
