On the evening that this took place, while all well-intentioned people were applauding, in the bosoms of their families, this paternal aft of the Government, some turbulent spirits, as yet unknown, betrayed their joy, of rather their dissatisfaction, by breaking the windows of the house where the bank was held. Rows, JULY s .—The people of the States of his Holiness, after having seen the Fiench army of Naples, and all the reinforcements which were sent to it, pass through their territory, now see a pert of these troops treading back their steps, in order to guard the ports of the Pontiff. About the mid. die of the present month, different French and Its. Tian Corps have arrived at Rome from the kingdom of Naples, and are gone to occupy Civita Vecchia, and the other points on the Western coast of the Papal State, in order to prevent the approach of English and Russian vessels. The Eastern coast of the State of the Church has been also occupied within the last month by French and Italian troops. They form at present the garrisons of Ancona, and of all the Papal harbours on the Adriatic. Betides the French and Italian corps which have newly 'marched by the way of Rome to the neighbouring coasts, other corps of the same nations also pm through this capital, coming in like manner from the Neapolitan frontiers. It is said that these last will repair to Leghorn. Rome itself, since the passing of these troops has ceased, has no longer foreign troops within her and continues to enjoy complete tranquillity. Bur there took place, last month, in this capital, a disagreeable incident, which, b ut for the firm. ness displayed on the occasion, by the Holy See, might have disturbed its repose, and been at. tended with the most fatal consequences to the whole State. On the ph tilt. a nun, 28 years of age, a butcher by profession, having met two Frenchmen in the street, without any provocation' on their part, laid hold of a knife from the neigh. barring shambles, and stabbed one of them behind. This attempt excited a ‘onsiderable uersar among the people, end appeared to the Government deserv. ing of exemplary punishment. The culprit was therefore immediately arrested, tried by martial law, and executed on the gth, in the square of St. Angelo.

The Comm:lo3m of the fortress, even while persisting in the resolution to defend him.l 'self to the last evremi , v, furnished a visible proof that he despaired of maintaining it muchl longee against the efforts ni the besiegers : he has' einrired and transported for Sicily the most vs.) luableartiries that were to be found in the place. In the mean time, die fire Of Gaeta has again de. prived the French of an Officer of distinguished bravery and talents, in the person of M. De Val leiongue, an Officer of Engineers, who, having been wounded in the head by a shell thrown from the fortress, died a few hours after, to the great regret of the whale army. On the 6th of last month, in consequence of a general sortie by the garrison, both parties were engaged in more than one place in the environs' of Gaeta, and most seriously on the neighbouring coast. A corps of ' English, lately disembarked sn the port of the for. • tress, t ook a share in this sortie, which was besides seconded by the British vessels of war, with which Sir Sidney Smith, having arrived from Gibraltar in theselatitodes, has beencruiting for some weeks. However, this sortie, though it did some injury to the besiegers, turned out4o.the disidvantsge of the. besieged. It was effet`ted in three columns, of which the Sm, partly comoused'of English, and partly of Neapolitans, was convoyed Isy ka, and pOsffed on to the distance of silt-miles Foos Gas. ta. ' Them the chief part of thtsiletseluirent seized upon the little fart of St. Andre, situated on the great road to Naples, and spiked the cannon ; but were speedily attacked by a French Corps, who made prisoners five English and between 8o and too Neapolitans. The remainder of this detach ment were equally unable to resist the force which was opposed to them, and were obliged to retire in haste to the mountains, in order to regain the place. The other two columns, under the command of the Prince of Hesse Philipstahl himself, confined them. selves to an attack of the works erected by , the French, under the walls of the fortress, and retired after a slight skirmish. • v . Germ*, itri.v a.--IDne hundred and fifty Nea politan Galley-slaves revolted against the guard, as they were coming out of Parma. They killed Wee of them, seized their arms, and made off to wards the Coast; in hopes of finding vessels. They are, however, closely pursued, and measures have beet] so well taken, that there is reason tie taped not one of them will escape. a MADRID, JUNE 10.-.--Frol9 the meirent that Sweden received Subsidies from Great Britain, and made common cause with that Power, it has been observed, that under favour of the Swedish Ng, the fraudulent intioduetion of English hfa ntifactures tiltsiu much itiereased, to the injurr. of, 09f. national industry ..-;-To prevent this, hia, rlll(otic'fiti)isii,'hisiirtlered that the ports of his sifiiiid ? in Aud.** 'A A' ice . int all Swedish Ships..

Here follows die letter, which put the last hand to these remarkable changes, and ; Which has been published entire : " Wulf casette we have long .lace perceived, that all the pain and solicitude that we have been engaged in bar the plow perity tit our faithful Pomeranian subjects, have met With en. expeeied difficulties in their execw ion ; which heetteitber pre. vented the fulfilment of our benevolent views, or retarded dui erects by continual delays, and a feCO4fOt upon every ores. mon is ancient privileges.

We have Lately lad a fresh proof eif the dangerous consequences of the present order of *nines: our race for raising the Pomeranian Militia, in.cOnsequence of a vet) , un suitable interpretation, has been referred by the States to the examination of the Tribunals of the Empire, at a time when the enemy threatened the frontiers of the country.

But if, on the one hand, we have been forced to take this resolution, on ere other, we wish to prove, that Mr only design is to bailiff Ct future prsperity of our German subjeCt*, and not to insane to ourselves oppressive rights ; and of .Shia we have thought, that we could not give a inure convincing pewit than by in troduciag the Swedish Constitution into tau German States.
