PARIS, AUGUST 4.—His Majesty gave a private an ;Hence to the Marquis de Moustier, and Baron de Ma 'feud ; the former appointed Minister to the Court of /hoover ' and the latter to that of the Netherlands. • Some further particulars respecting' the dreadful fire have been collected. It appears that 17 warehouses, containing about 80,000 pieces of wine were destroyed ; the apace left vacant t.y fire is 376 geometrical paces in length, and 2110 in breadth. The tire, after destroying De warehouses of M.M. Cabanis, liartaux, Benjamin, uchatelier, Verbois, Allier, Levaux, and several others, was at length checked without damaging the ware houses of M. Land; t. Two of the engines were worked with wine, which formed a pool of about forty feet star. face and one in depth. The damage is estimated at front 7,000,000 to 8,000,000 francs. The reports of several lives being lost turn out in be erroneous. no person hav ing been killed; hot hu less than front 140 to Ito indi viduals were more or less wounded; the greater part of them, however, but slightly. The fire broke out again on Wednesday amongst the ruins, but was soon subdued. The conflagration is supposed to have been the work of incendiaties. The excavators have just discovered, near the forum of Pompeii, a public edifice which is supposed to be the Chalcidieum, and an inscription importing that the edifice was built at the expense of the priestess Eta na- C;11s. A few days after the above discovery. a statute of the sante priestess was found in perfect preservation.— This statue far surpasses in grace, elegance and grandeur all the works of art that had previously been dug from the ruins of Pompeii. - The report of the defeat of the Algerine squadron by the Dutch, off Andalusia, is not yet confirmed. A fire has just broken out in a house in the Bourg de Bercy, in an opposite quarter to that which now exhibits so dismal a scene of desol dim]. Some men were soon making off with all speed across the I 'ark ; .the gend armes went iu pursuit, and took fire of them into cus tody. There is no doubt of their being incendiaries; one of them stabbed the soldier who arrested hint twice with a poniard. Anoint 5.—A letter from Bayonne, dated the 29th July, contains the following p ,rtieulars:—" We are assured that the malignant malady at Majorca exercises its ravages more than ever. Our Administration of the Customs has given strict orders to the officers through the whole extent of the line of the Western Pyrenees not to permit the importation of wool from Spaiti." A report was in circulation that the contagion had extended to Alicant. This rumour fortunately turns out to be incorrect; and we barn that the precautions oken along the coast of Spain to prevent the invasion of the dreadful scourge are no less rigorous than those taken by o irselves. NAPLES, JULY 15.—Five thousand armed inhabitants from Caitipagna, Salla, and Vallo, were cut their way to Salerno, intending to proceed to the capital. A slight remonstrance from Col. Belt• Ill, commandant of the received this evening from Ga'icia has excited a great ferment in this capital ; several letters have been received from that province, exaggerating the movements which have taken place there. In the sitting of the Cortes of .the 23d ult. the Com mince of Public lostniction proposed a decree for the following objects:—the provisional re-establishment of the system of teaching adopted in 1814 in the 'colleges, a...tribunes, and convents of the kingdom ; the study of the I aw of online and nations, and the suppression of the study of the VCCUPOfiIICiOIf, or collection of statutes; the explanation of toe Constitution instead of that of the Portidar, or Code of Midmost) the Wise. Signor Sancho, formerly a member of the Provisional Central Junta, proposed a decree consisting of twenty-three articles, among which were the following, viz :—to prohibit the founding of convents, and the receiving of any vows—to allow any order only one convent in one place—to prevent mendicant orders front asking alms— to declare the property of the regular clergy national properly—to employ part of the sal property in reward ing the army—to prevciit bishops or archbishops from ordaining any individuals, as lung as there is a sufficient number of spiritual persons for discharging the duties of the parishes—to subject all monks and nuns to the bishops of die respative thoecw's—to declare the pro perty national, assig • g to individuals sums suitable for maintaining them either in or out of their convents, according to their choice. The violators of the law to be banished. Extract from El Olservadar of St. Jago—" Private let ter from Carolina, dated J ulo 20:- 6 The counter revo lution has just broken out—it presents an alarming as pect ; but we hope the arrival of 4,000 men, sent to the borders of the sligno, where the confederacy has taken place, will dispel all fears. This event has had such 311 influent eon all minds, that scarcely 300 men mustered in the ranks of the National Guard out of 1,200 men who had inscribed •themselves. Agar (the political Chief of the Province) instantly convoked the ancient Constitutional Junta of Government, and it is said that he has drawn his sword from the scabbard. God grant that a moveinvot similar in that which he has efiectA here may not take place elsewhere, or we may yet retro grade. The number of peasantry in insurrection no the borders of the Mingo is 2.000, all armed with English muskets, and well !omitted with ammunition." Rowe, JULY 20 —( Extract of a ',viral, letter.)A revolt took place at Poote.Carvo (a town belonging to the Pope, within the liinitiof the kingdom of Naples) on the 401 inst. the physician„ the surgeon, and the aoothecary of the town, were at the head or it; they called to their aid the Neapolitan militia, under the orders ofCastella, and expelled the Governor. The same thing has happened at Benevento. Three gendarmes were assassinated in the streets; the otheas, consisting of about 40 men retired to the castle. The Patriots, amounting to 7,000, (although the classes in easy circumstances do not interfere in the insurrection,) then hoisted the tri coloured flag; they were commanded by a man named Velianto, an ex-commissary of %Var. The Pope's Dele gate quitted Benevento on the 1 ith instant, after having made a formal protest. The gendarmes concluded a Ca !titillation watt Velianto, who signed it Organisa keie dcl Calbonari di Benevento." that quarter, anti several deserters from the regiment of Gu Olio, had had the audacity to march into that movince. and were making efforts to excite the people to revolt against the constitutional system which the nation and and its King had sworn to maintain. Fie concludes by assuring them, that the most prompt measures will be taken against the rebels, and recommending mamma calculated to preserve the public tranquillity under' his jurisdiction. An article dated Vienna, 23d July, locutions that since Prince ;Metternich had lett Baden, in consequence of the Neapolitan revolution, his daughter, the Countess of Esterhasy, who was staying there for the benefit of her health, has died. The same article adds—" It appeals certain that the affairs of Naples have particularly fixed the attention of our Cabinet." A journal of Belgium of the 2d of August has the fol lowing postscript :—" We have just learnt, through our private Gertnan correspondvnce, that there is a report at Frankfurt of new disturbances having broken nut at Berlin. It is even affirmed that six Prussian regiments have received orders to hasten by forced marches to that capital."—Jounal de Paris. Accounts front Vienna of the 24th ult. state, that Ali Pacha is negociating at present with the Porte, and that the basis of an arrangement prolapsed by him has beets accepted. • VIENNA, July 47. [Extract from a Private Letter published in a Belgic Journal.] Since the day on which the extraordinary courier despatched by our Legation at Rome brought here the news of the revolution accomplished in Naples, estaffettes from Italy have rapidly succeeded each other, and their despatches have every day contri buted to augment the strong impression which the events passing in that country have produced amongst us. Prince Metternich, after a conference with the Emperor, repaired in great haste to this capital, to give orders to the Aulic Chancellery, which super intends the government of Italy ; since then great activity has been remarked in that department. Orders have been despatched to all our Southern provinces, and it is presumed that a military move ment is about to take place. M. Campo Chair°, now Minister for Foreign Affairs at Naples, is well known here. Ho was de puted to Vienna during the first Cougreas, and defended with energy the interests of King Joachim. Our Court Gazette is still silent on the affairs of Naples, and the Austrian Observer is the only paper which has spoken in such a manner as to disclose the views of our Cabinet on the revolution. The article inserted in one of its numbers may be cd as o ffi cial, as the editor, M. Von Pilst, i s po nce Ibletternich's Private Secretary. It is needless to describe the terms in which it is conceived : it is sufficient to state, that it is full of that Monarchist spirit which prepared the conventions of Carlsbad. Our Government regards with the most lively apprehension the events which are passing in Lower Italy. The Carbonari are known to have been the principal authors of the revolution, and the.r putty is very numerous in Upper Italy. It is feared that the example given by the Neapolitans may become epidemic. The police practices great vigilance in in ktoking after the three colours, the distinctive mark of the party which is so much dreaded. At ' Milan and Venice the attention of the magistrates has been directed to a great number of persons who wear tricoloured ribbons to their watches. A state of mind is observed to prevail in Bologna, and other towns of Lombardy, which is very unsatisfactory. It is asserted that a groat number of the officers of the Sardinian army are Carbunari ; and that there are secret associations in Genoa and Piedmtmt which are employed in making arrangements for changing the existing order of things. It is considered here that Austria can by no means regard with indifference the establishment of a new system in Italy, so con. trary to the spirit of her government and her political views. It has been asserted, that a numerous army will soon be directed towards the country ; but to day some are of opinion that oar government will for the present confine itself to reinforcing the corps in our Italian provinces, and the garrisons, of Lombardy. The Pope having faller. dangerously ill, snit the report of his aperoaching death being credited, it was at first announced that a corps of the Austrian troops would immediately occupy the States of the Church, and test: eautonnients cn the frontipm er Naples; but .he report is tow oottraaic,tod. province, on the impropriety of their conduct, was solii cielit to induce them to suspend their march, and they ill returned to their homes. It wauld appear that Its movement was intended to he simultaneous with the operations of Neale and Avellino; but being too lat.., it had become unnecenary. Yesterday five thousand men of the Diunic militia, with a regiment of cavalry, entered this city. hese troops, raised and equipped by the inhabitants of the province which expedited' them, have a fine appearance, and so well disciplined as to astonish the genet els. Yesterday the Sirens frigate entered the bay from Pa lermo, whereintelligence up to the dtll 'nut: been receited from this capital. Tranquillity reigised at Palermo at the departure of the it igate.
