In your palace, in your chapel, in your stables, in tle; royal residences, exist those who shelter themselves under a false pretence of absolute devotion to your person ; they Inc the authors of these commotions—at least the people accuse them as such ; and, ns long as facts do not prove that your Majesty regards us your personal enemies the ene mies of the New Institutions, it will be impossible tin. the authorities, however zealous they may be, to prevent di orders. " Finally, Sire, you must be informed that, on the day ot,your return to the capital, perverse agents distributed money to mislead the people, and to engage them to destroy the Constitutional system, in invoking the name of your Majesty ; we, there time supplicate that you will take prompt measures to undeceive those who disturb public tranquillity in the name of the King" En ANKFORT, DEC. 10.—(1111 an extraordinau chamiel).—We have just learnt that the Baron (IL! Schrant, the Austrian Minister, who habitually re sides at Berne, has received an extraordinary courier from Vienna, with despatches of a nature to import. ant that he instantly set ofr for Lausanne. It appears that this Minister is employed to make a diplomatic communication, which concerns all the status of the Swiss Confederation. --- The passage of the Belgic, French, and English couriers, both for Vienna and Troppau, has been very frequent tbr some days past. bunt Buel-Sohauenstein has received despatches from his Government. _ _ . Penis, Dec. 18.- -Yesterday, at two o'clock, the deputies of the departments assembled in the usual hall for the sittings. M. Angles, president by,w.- niority, drew lots for the grand deputation of 25 members to wait upon his Majesty the day of the - royal sitting. A deseatch which has reached Paris, dated Bay onne the 12th last. says--e 4 We have received to days's courier the following decree, which has been enacted by the perwauent deputation of the Cortes, end sauctinued by the king:— " All proprietors of foreign cotton goads now in the Peninsula ere required to make declaration there of to the customs of authorities, within (linen days from the Pith Dee, of the present year (1820 These goods will then be . stamped and deposited where the said euthorities shall spitaint until ex poreation. Such as shall not be declared within the period of fifteen days will be confiscated to the good of the nation. Four months are granted to the proprietors to export them to foreign states, or to Spanish colonies, where they way be sold. After the delay grunted, such us are not exported will be peremptorily confiscated." This decree Les excited greet alarm amonest the Spanish and Vrench merchants in Bayonne. r it will increase the number of discontented throughout Spaie. Intelligence from Cadiz, dated the let inst. states —Daring the last three days wend tumultuous assemblages have taken place: to-day it has been so considerable that we have very serious :derma, eve. chilly as we have beard the iufiariatiel throng et"' out for the trial of there who arc implicated in the bloody careage of the lOth of March last, whom they loaded with horrid execrations; they also de mand the instant dismissal of several magistrates subordinate nuthotities, whose chariteters are irreproachable. The troops have Leeu called out, uud a number of the rioters dispersed. At the departure of the courier order seemed on the polat of being restored, and we hope that the presence of an imposing force will suffice to maintain tran quillity. ROME, Dee. 4.—A ray of light appears to disri - pate the uncertainty in which we have been liar some time, as to the result of the grand discussions relative to the political allairs of our neighbours, the Neapolitans, and we are allowed to perceive it hope of the continuation of pewee. A number of stiaugers have arrived here. We fl:el already the influence of the liberty of the press in Naples. The journals u 1 that weary are not allowed in the coffee-houses ; but they are read in the libraries, mid, though priuted en good paper, they are neat day illegible. Meow:), Dec. 7.—Barcelona has been lately much agitated. The Archbishop ut Valeucia arrived r A PiLics ald. at Barcelona, to embark for Italy, on the day that the people and the garrison were declaring their attachment to the Constitution, on account of the late proceedings at Itiadritl. As soon as his arrival was known. u vast multitude assembled before his lodging, and it was with difficulty that.he wase:on. ducted on board a Genoese vessel, which immedi ately sailed for CivitaXecelda. Yt ssiNA, Dec. ;.—The Austrian Observer of this day contains the following article relative to the kingdom of the Two Sicilios " According to adviecs from Naples, dated the 22 ult. the Government hes been compelled, by the embarrassed state of its finances, to suspend the ex tra pay which it Lad granted to the troops. This measure was soon followed by consequences which it was easy to anticipate. The 12th regiment of infantry manifeeted its disaffection by acts of insu bordination. Several of the men resolved to quit their eolourseand return to their homes ; and it •a'as fotred expedient to send this regiment to the province of Abruzzo. On their route thither they committed fresh exces , es, and an officer was shut by hie own leen at Zeano. It appears that the authorities have been hitherto successtUl in prevent ing more serious commotions, which the spirit and examplc•of this regiment might have led to. The recruits, however, refuse to march to the appointed rendezvous ; and some of them were seen by t.aveliers, on the road between llri and Fondi, escorted to their several corps, handcuffed. " Confus►on and anarchy continue to make fearful progress even in the town of Naples. Pillage, murder, insubordinatiim, and want of respect to the authorities, are mere than ever the order of the duty. • No one can pas§ in the streets by night without: exposing his life. The Carbonari continue to ex ercise boundless influence. They openly defy the Government and Parliament : the members of both have their poniards to tear, if they attempt to their tvill. M. Zurlu, Minister of the Interior, is under indictment, bJeause he has beim charged by them with having infringed an article of the am stitution. NUREMBURG, Dec. 9.—Cuunt Puzzo di Borgn, Russian Minister at the Court of France, returns imnuxliately to Truppau to the Emperor Alexander, whom he will afterwards accompany to Vienna. This minister has with him but a single secretary and two domestics. ' To•day the Emperor of Austria will quit Trop pnu, but the hereditary P!tace and Princess of Saxe AVeimar will remain here until the departure of the Emperor• Alexander. We arc assured that they will &so visit Vienna. It .as been remark_d that the Russian MilliSteil at Troppau have had frequent courereuccs with Prince llardenberg.

XIII.] FOREIGN INTELLIGECE,. PARIS, DEC. 16.—Lord Stewart, the English Ambassador, at Vienna, is replaced by Mr. Wellesley Pole, the brother of the Duke of Wellington. Letters from Genoa of the fith of December say We kave received direct intelligence, by sea, from Sicily. Several cantons of the island are in such a statc of agitation as to cause apprehensions for the future. The levy of imposts has produced scenes of bloodshed at Cultanisetta: two companies of Neapolitan infantry have been entirely destroyed by a levy en masse of the whole canton. The Go vernment is going to send more fbrees ; but it is feared that their presence will only serve to propa gate insnrrection. " If credit is to be given to the Journal du Soir, the sum of eight millions has been lent by certain capitalists in Paris on the diamonds lately arri%ed from Naples. That sum," says the same paper, " has just been forwarded in money for that era." Correctional Tribunal was again occupied y in the case of Sir James Crawfurd, charged r wit having, in certain compositions, printed and published, calumniated and detained the Duke dc Cirammont and the the Duke de Guiche. • The Baronet, having in his hand a large packet of ; papers, again urged his right to defend himself'. On the remark (As the President, that M. Dupiu had been assignesi at the preceding audience fhr the defence, he. protested against the measure and withdrew. M. Dupla declared the defendant had not fur nished him with the necessary documenes and instructionss in the cause; and for this reason he could not take upon himself the arduous duty as signed to him at that moment. MM. Berryer and Charrier advocates fir the noble appellants, addressed the Court against the Cheva • Tier's proposition. The Tribunal, after hearing the King's Advo cate, relieved the accused from the exception which be had taken against the judgment of coat:natation, and ordered that he should withdraw his case, re serving to the parties the right of appealing against the libels published and distributed since the pre ceding sentence. Among the latter obnoxious publications is a memoir, circulated to day in proilision in the saloon of the Court, by Mr. Manuel, Sir James Crawfurd's Secretary. The title of the libel is, " The Case of Sir James Crawfurd, published as a preliminary to the trial for bigamy, which he is about to institute against the dui-disaul Lady Crawfurd, Anjou-street, No. 21, St. Honore.
