Th.. must perfect tranquillity prevails in the Capital, and in the whole 1:i1,, (lons, notiritlsstandirrz the de parture of the troop, for the frontiers. Naples, with the exception of thy forts, is protected by the inks -I.ltants, formed into .1 civic gourd. Tills corps, corn -1""11 of the flower of the citizen.; of that city, is dis ti.:2ltished by its line appearance, its exactness in the performance of its duty, and its attachment to the dy nasty of the llourhou‘, and to the Constitutional lio n .rnment. It had designed to march to the frontiers, to make the campaie,n with the army, but the Parlikment ituuld not consent to the departure of a corps so neces sary• to the preservation of order and tranquillity. The civic gnard evnsi►ts of 16,000 men, divided into four regiments of infantry, and two of cavalry. The Gen- dartuerie, also a civic corps, composed of the flower of the army, consists of 5,000 foot, and 2,000 horse,— This corps also offered to join the army, but the Go vernment declined, assuring the Commander that his brave soldiers should he employed in case of need. — The many demands of this nature chew the spirit that animate• o hole Neapolitan people. The Prince Regent has set out fur the army, accom panied by Lieut.-Gen. Parises and the Duke of Ascoli, Prince 1"p01.1 of Salerno. His Royal Highness's brother has followed the Prince Regent. The l'itolmontese Gardic of the 10th says, that by acrour.!‘ from Mei of the Ist, 24,000 troop. were camped round that town. They were to penetrate from l'ivita Uncale into the Abrussos. General tel. mont vas in that town. All the corps of the army had made t movement to join each other, and wily waited for the orders of the Oeneral in Chief to pass the frontiers. Two days rest had been snisient for the troops, who were in the best condition.

MADRID, MARCH 3.—The 1 . /averred says, and justly, that the choke of the new Ministers is very wise. It therefore is clear, that the Ministers are good, and consequently, there are good Ministers to be found to replace those who have been dismissed.— Aml, if it should be one day necessary to riplace t 11,: new ones, let us not doubt but ab'•: men will be found to surceed them. Illtusuns EsTuestsni, 31.sacti 2.--Abuelo con tinues io the prison of this city, and though there is a strong guard of national iiiiiitia, we wish he %sere removed to a more secure prison ; beeluse the guard has no arms but a few bad muskets, and a little ani. munition. MoNavas', MARCH 1.—.111 this country is in alarm the melafactors enerease, and their crimes multiply.— We learn that they yesterday attached the Convent of Nuns at Santa Fay, and stripped it ..f every thing va luable, to the amount of 51100 piastres. If this is done in the vicinity of a town which, besides its gar rison, has a national militia, respectable for its nuns ber and discipline, what may be the case in other parts, where this wise and vigorous u►'asure of the Govern ment is not yet in activity ? M • Damn, MAR( a 7.—Time Xiscetbriirq of this day published the declaration of the Allied Sovereigns, to which it adds the following retlection.-- .. Such is the celebrated Manifesto, the product of the equally cele brated conferences of Troppau and Layb,„eh. We have no need to refute doctrines so dangerous to the independence of nations and so favourable to unlimit ed power. We will make only one observation, which seems to us undeniable, and capable of itself to con found all them• diplomatic subtleties. If the Princes, knowing the tendency of the European nations to enjoy the blessings of liberty, had anticipated their impa tience, calming and satisfying it, by a frank and spon taneous recognition of the principles which guard the repose of nations, it is evident that such an act of legitimate condescensi would have b:•en received with joy and eratitude t and that in most countries the people -.could have been satisfied, and renonaced the pretensions to perfection in the code of public liberty : but what resource remained to the people when reduced to be the patrimony of a handful of Yam pyres ? They had not left them in their despair even the wretched relief of complaining. Even allowing that some excesses were committed in the mode of effecting revolutions, would nut such momentary ex cesses be infinitely excusable, and even lawful when it is compared with the habitual excesses of oppres sion; and where it conspired to the recovery of inalien able rights, should the human race be doomed to groan eternally under the yoke of tyranny ? should they wait indefinitely till it shall please princes to de prive themselves of the power of oppressing, which must doubtless he very agreeable, since nobody volun tarily renounces it "After having exasperated a nation by humiliations ►nd iasults, it is atrocious and ridiculous to reproach it by saying that ' Constitutions are made when the passions are calm, and with deliberation and trail qnillity.' It is certainly mach better that they should be so made ; hut why ever since 1815, when his Sici lian Majesty was restored to the throne of his ances tors, did he not think of doing with deliberation and tranquillity,' what the interest of his people re quired ? Why slid be not assemble those well inform , ed and impartial men, whose opinions he is now wished to consult ? As long as nations bear the yoke, it is rendered heavier every day; and when they break it, they are accused of having rebelled, while those who accuse them grant that it is necessary to render the yoke lighter ; and is not this allowing that their complaints were just ; and being so, not listened to ? Must not force and precipitation do that which it is refused to do with prudence and tranquillity ?" kc.— (Miscellanea, .Verch 8.) PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. MADRID, MAaCH 10.-1 do not think there is any longer the least cause for the friends of liberty in England to feel any alarm as to the stability of things here. With all its defects, the people of Spain are convinced that their Constitution inserts to them more freedom than would any other in Europe; and in pro portion as its benefits are developing, so do all classes of the community, except the privileged few. cling to it as the anchor of safety and hope. Many thought that the sadden lied unlooked for change of Ministry which followed the opening of the Coites, would be productive of serious consatataees. The stagnadoa of trade has aloes given rise to the re cent dlsturbeaec at Barcelona, whirls kw now subeided into a-perfectaalat. It is et nay little wasewiesee who we the iliaisters, while tie peeple are Iteerly re- -O r presented; let the Cortet but perform their daty, as! they have hitherto done, aid the Spanish portion of the lisiropean family, his *wising to fear. The facts connected with the opening speech on the lit instant, are shortly as follows.—The Ministers seeing that FERPINAND did not consult them rel'ative i preparing his Speech, were elcoediagly chagrined, aid Auevretx alincect.Les, Miaittier of the Interior, who composed that of Last year, offered his services main. The KING ans.:etred that it was already pre- . pared, and although something was still. wanted, he wished to submit it to the inspection of his Mifilstcrs. ASGVILLES having vrail the draft was highly pleased 'with itsAiholt tettour, 'and retired perfectly satisfied. On the following the, his Majesty iccoMpanied by all the Royal entered the hall.of Clinics it ten o'clock, ant mounting the throne, delivered the Speech with the greases: perspiraity and composure. When be came to that part of it, whirl; hail been substinent ly adde I, there was nothing of acrimony in his mode of speaking ; be attributed the insults receivel during the late events, t 4 the weakness of the executive, pointing out u•reiisity of more The =I• net in which Fi RI IN %ND evpressvil himself on this, produce . ] a ere It impre,sion on :.is hearers. • I need not, however, inform you, that the offences _ . complained of by the KIN':, have been grossly exa!: . Cmated, both by the servile party here, and the Ultra- Royalist Papers of Paris. They were in fact, merely the result of a conviction on tit , • pert of the p e ople and national militia that Feat,' :.t•;” is not sin ' Libre in his attachment to the Constitutional system. If any political sins can he regarded as seniPtl, surely they are those which arc committed under such a bulict. The sittings of fortes have certainly been rather stormy. Aminst those who have most distia L gti.hml themselves, are Count Toot's'', Houton At.or- ` . IE and MOR RN A (WERRA, who is le.oler (tithe opposition, and a man of no coot ttttttt talents. It is said there had been a schism fur some time in the late mitti‘try, Ev.tats - ro, P. de rtio, and .I►ntol hieing opittp.ed to CANG.I And AVOCSTIN AIIUCELLES. A number of Petitions are alma to be presented against the whiffle. 7%c Costrier last ni•glit communicated the contents of a private letter from Paris, received by Express, we mentioned in our Secnnd Edition. In that letter were detailed some particulars of the battle affirmed to have been fought on the 9th instant ; hut in the course of the esening w•e received another Express, exciting doubts respecting the engagement. The Paris papers that have come to hand this morning, as detailed in preceding column, make no mention of the af fair, except in an article from Inspruck. It will he observed, Isowe%er, that the intelligence direct from Rieti comes don o only to the Ist, and that as the Sea politan army then assembled round the town, amounted to .2.1,000 men, and all the corps tvrre making move ments to concentrate their force, it is highly pro toble that a serious conflict might be brought on by the 9th, from the attempts which the Austrians would be disposed to make to prevent their junction. — That uoolEcial accounts of the event should have hitherto arrived is not surprising, when it is considered that the Austrians are occupying the Country, through which the Couriers have to pass, amt that they are deeply interested in preventing the spread of Dews that may be unfavourable to their cause. Norfolk Paper, arrived this morning, bu , not of a later date than those previously received. Ilis Excel lency M. Hyde de Nenville, t h e French Minister, ac cording to a Norfolk Paper of the 10th of February, had arrived from France. The ship Hemming, Itaylve, which sailed from Norfolk on the ht of December, bound to Belfast, had put into St. Bartholomew, in great distress. The Duke Decases was expected to leave Paris on Tuesday, on his return to London. It was last night very confidently rnmourefl that in- i surrectionary movements had taken place in Hanover' and Prussia. The report oas circulated in quarters so, respectable that we cannot let it pass unnoticed. In cowequence of the Ministers being left in the minority in the House, and the reports of disturbances in Prursia and Hanover, much bugtie and confusion prevailed at the Stock Exchange this morning, at the opening of the Market. Consols opened at 694, and fur ten minutes no fixed price could he obtained ; hut after the storm nag over, a dead calm ensued, and they recovered their former price to 70. As the arrivals of the French mails did not bring a confirmation of the battle in Naples, and the reports of insurrection in Prussia and Hanover not being believed, the Market looks more favourable this morning. Some business has been done on Chance in the French Funds ; they were sellers at 77, and buyers at 654. Lt w.+.^-By a letter from the surgeon of the Gen. San Martin, dated Callao Bay, Dec. 11, we learn that General San Martin had sent the first division of the army, tinder the command of General Arenalis, into the interior of the country, for the purpose of cutting off supplies from the South, for Lima. hi this lie had cotnpletely succeeded, es well as in defeating the enemy in an engagement. That General was by an order from General San Martin advancing towards Lima. The reception of the Independents was every where extremely favourable among the inhabitants, and one whole regiment bad deserted to them. The cutting out of Callao the Spanish frigate Esmeralda, by the boats of the squadron, under the immediate command of Lord Cochrane, is spoken of as "a most brave and gallant enterprise, and one which teas sue. cient to have placed his name, hail he never done any thing before, among th- first in the age. He who has seen the batteries, forts, and castles of Callao, can scarce give credit to the success."
