I THE 6TATESMAN. FOI€EIGN INTELLLIGENCS. This morning arrived Paris papers, from which we give the following extracts :••-• PARIS, MARCII 25.-1 n the Journal of the Upper ' Rhine of the 20th of March, we find an article which appears to explain the Neapolitan plan of campaign. It is as follows The Neapolitan troops which occupied th e defies of Rieti and Terni , so wel l known for the ditlis ulties of the ground, and which had pushed corps forward to Magliano, Otricoli, tlesi, Term, and Pesaro, have fallen back beyond their own frontiers, without striking a blow. it appears, that they have retreated as t a r as Aquila, and probably they will retire behind their de fensive line, which extends from Pescara to Terracina and ninth." The Savoyards and Piedmontese, residing in Paris on furlough, have been called upon to rejoin their colours. They are eager to obey the summons, and are going off by detachments. "The Npanish constitution was proclaimed it Nice on the kith, as it has been in all the other towns of Pied mont. The King, Victor Emmanuel, arrived at Nice on the lath of the present month. On his way from Turin to Nice he received unequivocal testimonies of the afro?. tion of his subjects. He was expected at Marseilles en the I:i4th, and preparations were making in that pro vince for his reception. We are assured that hr is touting to Paris. Our reader must have remarked, that after the first affairs which took place from the jth to the 12th, be tween the Austrians and the Neapolitans, Heneral Fri ',tont left souse divisions to occupy Aquila and all the Tie t iz i i hostring sountry, anti moved his head-quarters to Frascati, in order to be ready to direct the movements of the columns destined to march on Naples by the side of the Abruzzi. It is probable that the first news will bring an account of some military affair in the direction of San Germano and Fundi, where the corps of Cara*. toss and Ambrosio are stationed. According to pri vate letters front Naples, it appears that on the nth there was still no certainty respecting the departure of the 'Prince Regent for the head-quarters. At t h at period all business was suspended at Naples, payments had ceased, and the Bank was very backward in fulfilling its engage. tuents.—(Growth de Fraser.) M. David has been returned for the department of La Vendee. The other candidate was lieneral Sapinaud. Magnificent fetes are preparing for the baptism of the puke of Bordeaux, which is to take place in Easter week. M. Benin the responsible editor of the Juarard des Deter t', has been sentenced to one month's; imprisonment and 200 francs fine, for contravening the law, which subjects the journals to the previous examination of the commission of censorship. The Mario di Boma uf the 10th contains the Imilt•tin of the affair of Itieti, but much more in detail than it was given by the Mika Gazette. The numerous pri soners, however annenneed by the Mifon Gq.;:cter are reduced by the Diaru to :a According to the same journal General Fri iiiiii reckoned greatly on the effect of King Ferdinand's proclamation. He did not wish to co 1111 l truce hostilities soon, in order to give time to the Neapolitans to k • the intentions of the King. But he soon discovered, with sorrow, says the Roman j ourna l, th a t th e re bels would listen to nothing, but would persist ilk their sentiments. It is reported that the nuke of Henos, on arriving at Turin on the ISth, refused to assume any other dignity than that of Regent, wishing to govern in the name of Victor E annel. lienerai Morillo is now at Paris, whence, after a short sass', he will proceed to Madrid. Five per cent. Consols, F•ANRVORT, MAnt it 20.—The Piedmontese revolu tion has oceasioned here, and particularly on the Ex elia-ge, a sensastion which it would be ;litho:lt to de scribe. All the Austrian funds have experienced a de pr; ssion. We have no recent accounts from the Neapo litan and Austrian armies. Bernina llourgaud left this two days ago, fir P ar is, h aving received permission for that purpose from his overmaent. EXTRACTS IROM PRIVATE LETTERS. :NEVA, MARCH 'lo.—Letters from Florence an tUM a that a general action has taken place between t e Austrians and Neapolitans, in which the former have been completely beaten. The same letters add, that Frits tttt st was on the point of being made prisoner, and slid not effect escape but with extreme difficult•. Our own correspondent in that city writes, that the Govern ment were receiving courier after courier from head quarters; and that the Grand Duke, on opening the last despatch, exclaimed " What a misfortune ? what butchery !" Since then, he adds, the news of the de feat has ceased to be mentioned, but that the silence preserved by the government speaks volumes. Another letter s.eaks in these terins:—Pepe has made a new attack ; the contest WAS extren.ely long and bloody, when Carascosa hronght np his whole division, having wills him the young fluke of Nola, eldest son of the I Prince Regent, and decided the battle, after having rut off, and rompelled to lac down their arms, a corps of 7,00 Austrians, with all their artillery and bJggage. Paulo, %ern 25.-1 t six o'clock yesterday morn ing a courier passed through this city with news fur England. We understand it to be in substance, that the Austrians have been beaten by the Neapolitans near Rome ; that no less than 31111 waolons had been seen full of wounde.l ; tbat the Anstrians had retreat ed ; and that Tolooia, the banker at Rome, had re• fused to advance money to Frimont, who had applied to him for the pecuniary means of moving his army. PARI9, Maacn 23.—A Courier from Italy has ar rived this morning, and brings the following intern— pace : A letter from Rome, dated the 10th, says, that the Austrian Quartermaster Ueneral had returned to Rome, aad that a loan had been raised there for the Austrians; also that a palace was preparing there for the recep tion of the old King, who was expected to arrive, ac companied by the English Ueneral Church, who was to raise a Neapolitan Royalist army. The same letter states, that there hail been an affair between the Au'. trtan and Neapolitan flotilla, in which the Austrians were beaten, and lest 59 vessels laden with provisions aid auintunition. It is said, in a letter from Marseilles, dated the 17th, that the Austrians have been repulsed, and have aban doned Ihr idea of advancing further. A letter from Milan states that the Viceroy has sent the Tre.isury chests to Mantas. At five o'clock to day the news of the insurrection at Urenoble was circulated. On the 20th of March the tri-coloured cockade was worn, and the Constitu hos of 1791 proclaimed. The Uovernment Announces that new e v e r y t hi ng i s trenqa il, which tiobody be lieves, as they had the news by telegraph two days be fare, aid did not publish it until they were compelled b y t he arrival of the courier from thence. Liens& Maurice Mathieu, who cotnmands themilitary divisiot there, received orders to proceed to his post without loss of time, and departed yesterday, which also proves that the affair is not at an end. GENOA, MARCII I. (EveNisa)—An Psteffete is 1111'; rived from Turin, continuing the news of the Spanish Constitution having been declared ; and a proclamation will be issued here this evening, anemitncing the King's acceptance of that Constitution, tozether with his snbse iittent resignation, and the appointment of the Prince of Carignana as Ite , rent. By the Tuscan nail, which is just arrived, we understand there are letters stating that the troops and people of Florence have declared fur the Spanish Constitution. We have not time to ascertain the truth of this information, as the post is this in stant leaving Genoa. - MILAN, MARCh 14--The Vice-regal Court has quitted this city for Mantua, under the apprehension, as is sup posed, of a visit from the Pieihnontese. The military stores and baggage, it is expected, will quickly follow. I dare not be explicit on the state of things Isere ; but I fear that political changes of a very serious nature are near at hand. PRICE OF STO(O3 TH Hank Stock S per lint. Red. shut. !per Cent.

LITAN DISASTERS, AND FRESH EVIDENCE FRO Y.l LAYBACII OF THE APPREHENSION OF THE IR /11" ALLIES. Just as our paper was going to press, an Express arrived in town frum Paris. By this we learn that a strong- report was prevalent on the Exchange at five o'clock in the afternoon of Monday, that the Anstrians were actually in the occupation of Naples. This re port we naturally must look upon with considerable sus. piciun ; there is every appearance of its being a tiew.k. Jobbing' (*.act ca. The French Funds have been materially affected already. They have risen to 771. 20 c., they were at one period of the day as high a; 77 f. 5(1 cents.: and this difference shows a great degv.e of doubt in the minds of the speculators. The conduct of the Allies is such as to prove that they do not think themselves very secure, for they are stated to be prepar ing to angtrient their military prepaeatiows, and wake new levies with all pos4bie haste. The fallow int; intelligence is contained in the Paris papers of the Nth Inst.:--- " LivnArtt, MAIM , 15. " The news of the late events in Piedmont arrived here by an extraordinary courier. Far from changing the plans concetted among the Allied Sovereign., it has only served to confirm the resolutions which they bare taken, and to fortify the measures which they had ordained, in order to save the social order of Fit- r..pe from the dangers which menaced it. The two Emperors had a conference of some hours after which their Majesties gave audience to several foreign Ministers. Conriets ►►'ere immediately despatched ; and it is known that the orders given were to form immediately a new Austrian army of 711,1)110 men in Lombardy, independently of the expeditionary army of Naples, and the Austrian garrisons which at this moment occupy the whole of the Lombardo-V►netian territory. .%t the same time, a Russian army of 100,0110 men, which bad already been directed to hold itself in readiness to march, will receive orders to enter the hereditary states, and to approach the theatre of war. " The revolution which has just taken place at Tu rin, and the details of which have been transmitted to Congress by an able hand, throws great light upon the political questions which has for so long a time en gaged the different Cabinets of Europe, in laying open the authors, the object, and the effect of that catastrophe. In fact, it appears from documents ar rived here respecting the conspiracy of Piedmont, that it has been, like the conspiracy of Madrid and Naples, arranged by a foreign faction : "That it has been executed at Turin, as at Naples, by a handful of rebels, against the wish of the people, and in spite of the indignation of the great majority of the nation and army. " But that the instigators, the plans, the springs, the resources, and almost 311 the threads of that vast conspiracy are now known with the utmost exactness : and as it entered into the combinations of the conspi rators to produce explosions in countries which ap peared the least susceptible of them, and to strike at tiovernments which thought themselves the most se cure from their enterprises, it is scarcely possible to think that any state can continue an indifferent spec tator at the struggle which is about to commence be tween legitimate monarchy and rebellion : between a sage liberty, and the license of military despotism. If the crime which has been perpetrated at Turin were to remain unpunished, iu the midst of the po lished nations of Europe, all the ties which bind people to their Sovereigns, and nations to each other, would be broken ; and civilisation would soon sink under the strokes of internal seditious sad foreign wars." STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK. The Funds hare been a shade better this morning Consols, which opened at 7 ni, have beet% whidi is still abont the price, little bu%iness being doilg. In the Ibiuse of Lords last night, Lord FLLr,- nouocou moved for an address to the KING, praying his MAJESTY to interpose his mediation between the contending parties in Italy. The Earl of ABERDEEN opposed the motion as premature, and it :vas negatived without a division. In the House of Commons, Lord J. MABEL!, took occasion to explain the objects of a motion, of which lie hail previously given notice, rela tive to a Reform of Parliament. The House then went into a Committee on the Catholic Hill, when Mr. PEEL and Mr. Wit-Lysol:us: moved their promised amendments, for Roman Catholics front the offices of Prire Connrilhors anoi Judgoss, and front that of (inventors of Colu.:irs. Theool• a mendments were both negatived : the former by A tioaj,otity ut IV, and the latter by a majority of 43. Whatever may prove the result of the present contest between An4tria and N We , . to suppose that the Hole Alliance can Hurt- pat down the spirit of comti tational freedom, were suenething moire than a libel un *be human race; fur it were to suppose those creatures to possess an indolence over the human mind far supe rior to that which we have over the brutes. Sooner or later, and ne rather think, very ?won, ILc ratetite lion must be pivelniate.l Ars( ig and it I's Mt iO. j -s--Limited Monarchy . is a desirable thing : and the 1 maxim that " a K ing can du no wrong, - is , properly applied to the Flogli;11 Sovereign, who. in general, can do no le•.:11 act without his ! Ministers. Ilut olesrtism is an almse of the name of Monarchy ; and t h men called the I Allied Sovereigns are roule.:voring to est oblish an I open, insoient despotism. History film: sloes two no- We examples of the principle t!..tt a Kivu may he lori.ught to trial ; though we sincerely regret that in those instances the principle was enforced. ViosaLus of England perhaps was a well meaner ; and Locus of France was probably a fool as well as a coward. It there fore was cruel to put them to death ; especially as their conviction established the precedent ; the case, as Lawyers term it. that a KING may be legally brought to trial by his subjects. Rut the most satisfactory precedent is that which is furnished us by the Revu• lution of I : a perimlof history which ought to be impressed particularly V l l9ll the MilaN rung turn. It is properly called " Too F. 61.011101 . 11 REVULU tills. " It is by virtue of that Revolotion that 6touse IV. now sits upon the throne ; and if that revolution were illegal, he would have no more right to the English Throne than lie has to that oil Ile would b e neither more nor less than an asurper. 11 rr pleasing then must it be to rei!ect, that this revolution is so established by the laws, that it is of qua' force with the laws whirls bind us to our present Sovereign, and him to us ! Long may the Ilrunsovicks enjoy the Throne ; fur they acquired it by the best of titles—a peuplre . choice. A low, hors 11.eover, is a German prow, contains the following paragraph :—" it is said that both Cliatnbers of our States will in a few Jars be farther prorovied. The reasons of this prorogation are no t rightly known to the public ; but it is believed that the very important 'object of the exceptions, whirl. still remains unsettled, Is the cause of it." A letter from an English Gentlemen at Florence, dated the 10th instant, lys—. 4 You will s •arcelv learn the truth of what is passing between the Neapo litan and Austrian armies; but you note depend ..n it that the latter have suffered greatly, from the affairs of posts have taken place, both in the number of men killed and in the number of deserters. The I King of Naples, with a small retinue, is just arrived in this place, where we understand he is to remain. Letters from Genoa contain copies of the spi.iteil Proclamation at Turin, which was the first cause of the : change of Hover:mesa. A proc!amation from the Prince . .legent of the Phoiniontese hag also appeared, to which are annexed the terms of the oath Le hal taken before the Provisional Junta. A decree from his Royal Highness has also been pttbli.he I, which provides, that every man in the king& m, from 1 to 50 inclusive, shall form part of the National' . Guard, and that the requisite arms, kc., shall be' supplied to them. Yesterday Pi incr•Leopold, and several of the Auibas• dors and Ministers, the Duke of Wellington, &c. lined with the Duke of York, at his house in the King's Palace, St. James's. The prices of lodgings in Dublin have risen full thirty per cent. in consequence of the intended visit of his Majesty to that capital. A requisition signed by upwards of 150 bi z ble respected names, has been addressed to the !hell Sheriff of Devon, to request he will elnvene a (7outety Meeting at as early period, to consider the propriety of petitioning the * House of Commons to invesigate the causes of the present Agricultural, Commercial, and Manufacturing Distresses; to adopt such a system of Retrenchment and Economy in our Public Ex;.eie diture, as will tend most effectually to the relief of the sufferets; and to institute as inquiry into the state of the Representation, for the purpose of corectitil the aliases which have crept into it. The freedom of the city of Bath was, on Saturday last, presented to Captain Parry, at the Guildhall of that city, in a box of oak, which firmed a part of the mast of the Hecla ; in the centre of the top of the box is aline oval medallion in gold, beautifully chased in bas relief, representing the vessel, towed by boats, I passing immense icebergs, with a distant view of the Griper. The medallion is surrounded by a rich oak leaf border, snrmoonteil by a nasal crown. On tha ! inside of the cover, is a meat and appropriate inscrip tion. Astronomy has always bees the most interesting of human pursuits; yet its most striking features wool nesse rendered completely popular, till the recent publication of Tile Wonders of the Heeeeqs.

Thus the drawing of the moon is the resell et thirteen years' observations with powerful telescopes, and this e ngraving goat thirty guineas ; and the Solar system was engraved by Lowry on steel, at • much greater cost.
