Neither too many generations united the reigning House of Savoy with the people, nor the benefits of an enlightened Government. administered by a wise Prince. and under paternal laws, nor the sad prospect of calamities to which the country was exposed, !could restrain the disaffected from their designs. ' " The plan o( a general subversion was prepared. In this toenbination against the repose of nations, the conspirators of Piedmont had their part assigned them. They were eager to perform it. " The throne and the state were betrayed ; oaths were violated military honours tarnished ; and the contempt of every duty soon produced the scourge of every disorder. " Everywhere the pestilence exhibited the same character; everywhere one uniform spirit directed these fatal revolutions. " Not being able to assign plausible motives in their justifi cation, nor to obtain national support to maintain them, it was in false doctrines that these contrivers of anarchy sought an apo logy : they fbunded, upon criminal associations, a still mote ermined hope. In their eyes, the salutary supremacy of the laws was a yoke which must be destroyed. They renounced those sentiments which are inspired by a true lore of one's country. and substituting for known duties, arbitrary . and undefined pre. Unties for a minimal change in the constuutnt principles of society. they mewed endless disasters for the world. " The Allied Sovereigns saw the danger of lids conspiracy in all their full extent, but they had also discovered the real weak ness of the conspiratore. in spite of their veil of declamation and deceit Experience has verified their anticipations. The reast once which legitimate authority has encountered has been useless; and cr i me hers disappeared at the sight of the sword of justice. "It is not to accidental causes—it is not even to the conduct of nun who behaved so ill in the hour of battle, that this easy seems should be autibuted. It has resulted from a more con. mell principle—from one more worthy of attention. ! t 7rovidence snuck with terror the tionseeince of men so et/guilty ; and the censure of the public, whose fate was com promised by these artificers of mischief, caused the anus to fall from their hands. " Solely employed to 'contend with, and to put down rebel lion, the allied forces, fa from pursuing any exclusive interests, have arrived to the aid of the people who were subjugated ; and the people themselves have regarded the employment of those troops as a support in femur of their liberty, not u an egression upon their independence. From that moment the war ceased ; from that moment the dates which revolution had mailed became the friendly states of those powers which never wished any thing bat their tranquillity and prosperity. . ln the midst of these grave occurrences, and in a situation thus delicate, Mt:Allied Sovereigns, in concert with the King of the Two Sicilics and the Ring of Sardinia, have judged It indis pensable to adopt temporary measures of precaution. indicated by prudence, abd called for by the general good. The allied troops, whose presence was necessary for the reetoratidn of order, have been placed in suitable positions, solely far the purpose of protecting the free exercise of legitimate authority, and to assist it in preparing, under this awe, those benefits which may efface every vestige of such portentous misfortunes. 6' The justice and disinterestedness which have prevailed in the deliberations of the Allied Monarchs will always continue to regulate their policy. in future, as during the past, they it ill ever prescribe to themselves the preservation of the independence and of the rights of each state, suet as they are recognised and defined by existing treaties. The irate. even of such an alarm irg crisis, will, under the Hospices of Providence. become the consolidation of that peace which the enemies of the people. attempted to destroy, and the stability of an order of things which will ware to nations their repose and preeperity. " Filled whit there sentiments. the Allied Sovereigns, in ter. minting the eonferentier at haybach, have wished to announce to the world the priorities* 'kith they have been animated.— They are determined never to abandon them , and all the Mends of order will contently see and find in their union a sure safe. guard: against the enterprise of anerchy. It is for this purpose that their Imperial and Royal Majesties have ordered their Alinistas Pleniptitentiary to sign and publish the present declaration. " Avsetua—METTERNICH.

FRENCH PA, Pants, MAT 29.—The process instituted in the Netherlands against M.M. Goethels and Martens, vicar-general of Ghent, and M. &emu, secretary to the Bishop of Ghent, hss excited the most lively interest throughout Belgium. Tikey were accused of having pul;liAted, with the intention of disturbing public order ; u pastoral l e tt er from M. de Broglie, bishop of Ghent, in which that prelate was deemed to have instigated disobedience to the government. On the 25th the sovereign court of Brussels pro nounced a verdict of acquittal. The President, tetbre delivering the judgment of the court, strictly fel bade any expression of approbation or disappro bation from those present; but thy were not to Lc restrsined, and brule out. nit° laud tApressiuus of and this I . greedy of blood, have abandoned themselves kto the greatctt excesses against the de. fenceless christians. The .Porte are like the multi. tude, with an inexorable cruelty, of which the an nals of Islamism have not for ageztoffered an example. At the moment when the Greek patriarch and tile other bishops were arrested by order of the Grand Scignor, the Greeks who were collected in the temples, struck with terror, took refuge in the houses of the neighbouring ecclesiastics; but they were pursued and massacred in great numbers by the furious populace. FRANKFOUT, MAY 24.—The President of the Germanic Diet has communicated to that body the declaration of the Allied Sovereigns. at Laybach.— It was presented by Prince Metternich, and Baron Anstett, Russian Minister to the Federation. The Diet voted unanimously , 1 the homage of their respectful acknowledgment to the Emperors of Rus sia and Austria for this communication, and the assurance that they are of one mind in revering in ell its parts the beautiful monument of their equity and love of order which those sovereigns have erected for the permanent consolation of all well intentioned men." BAYONNE, MAY 20.—The Empeciaailo. not havin ,, been able tn suppress Merino's Guerilla band, has been, it is said, suspected of treason, and sum moned to Madrid. He will; it is expected, be succeeded by an undoubted patriot, whose. name is not yet communicated. All the suspected persons who have been arrested in Galicia, have been embarked and sent off to the Canary Islands. It is asserted that the military Governor, Espoz Minas, was desirous of having them all shot. The famous Neapolitan Gen. William Pcpe is arrived in Madrid. Private letters from Augsburg, dated May 22, state that arrests continue throughout the whole extent of the kingdom of Naples. General Begani (the same who surrendered Gaeta, conformably to the direct orders of King Ferdinand) and General Arcoviw have been arrested ; General Colletta and Pcdrinelli, cx.guvcrnurs of Naples, arc still in prison; nothing has yet been dune relatively to bringing them to trial. TitIESTE, MAY 12.—Aecoraing to news from Patras, dated April '43, all the peninsula of the Mores has shaken off the Mus►ulman yoke, The citadels and fortresses declared for the cause of the Greeks on the i)th of April, and the whole cuun took up arms. Prince Michael Ypsilanti, brother to him who commands in Walachia, had arrivoa in that quarter on board a Greek vessel, mot put him self at the head of the insurrection; with the Bishop Nichols de Tripoliza, who has great influence over the people. A UtibOURG, MAY is announced that very important despatches have urrivetFut Laybuch from Coustatitinopble, transmitted by the ambassadors of Russia and Austria, who are accredited to thc Sub lime Porte. The atrocities which have been com mitted in the Turkish capital, especially the horrid murder of the Patriarch (which, it is said, has led to a very spiraed declarations on the part of the foreign ministers, appear to be the object of the communication despatched to Layituat. The repre hensible acts in which the Ottoman government have participated arc considered very impolitic.— They have, by so doing, exasperated those of the Greeks, whe took no part in the insur consequences will certainly be most dangerous. ---- • The Cartes of Pcirtugol have ettatettl, that all offericea charged oguitot the prt,N, stall h ttit•fl by ordinary, juries, anti that the ticitai.tatit: shall be ea talect to t;11.4114.uge juror:, 04: a 46. • Paul tied. rif PAPERS. ••••••••••••• litlJlllfA, soon as the ponsais . . is &Swat parts of the prtwince Ibsen to ea extraordinary fomentation wm who malt of "pas a shy. it tihwqiW was much violent declamation when it was proposed to sead even to transport them to die. representation to this effect _iitical Chief. This st.tp did not calm the impatience of the club : and on the morn ing of the 4th many groups assembled in the Piazza of - the Constitution, and on all sides cries were heard of " Away with the traitors who plot against the system." The Captain-General calmed thin tu mult, by promising to accede to their desires ; and in the night more persons were arrested. On the night of the sth the Canon of Mentioned° Baqueri na, with another person of the same town, was brought in prisoner, and was embarked for the castle of St. Antony, to preserve him, it is said, front the rage of some persons who probably would have at tempted his life. Meantime the agitation among the Members of the Patriotic Club, and some others, continued, and the removal of the prisoners was insisted upon ; so that there was reason to fear that the public tran quillity would be disturbed. This state of things continued till the night of the Bth, when the fol lowing persons were embarked on board the brigan tine Hermosa Rita, us it is reported. for the due ries. I Here follows a list of above 40 names : among these are above 20 Canons, and other eccle siastics, some merchants, and a late Governor of Ferrol. The last name is the Marquis de Villa- I verde.] . . Among these persons there arc bad, indiffbrent, and good; the first should have been punished, fur which nothing was necessary but to put them on their trial ; it was sufficient to watch the second ; the third were entitled to especial protection, and all had a right to demand that the law, said not ar bitrary will, should decide on their cases. Let it not be said that they showed in their countenance a ferocious joy at the excesses of Merino, and that they plotted the ruin of the system. if this were certain, the judge would have sent them to the seat- • • fold, or to the Phillippines ; and if not, no one had a right to molest them. How lamentable, how Coal will this oblivion of the first elements of the art of governinc„4. Won become?

The.Unifbrsal of the 15th and 16th gives very long accounts of the events in Galicia, with lists ut' persons arrested at Carolina, Santiago, Betansos, and Lugo.
