" If the reports disseminated in the political circles here may be relied on, the Austrians, on their entry into Naples, offered to the Neapolitans a mixed constitution, something resembling that of France, and, as an induce ment for their acceptance of it, intimated that refusal would be immediately followed by the advance of a Russian army also into their territory. The Neapolitans are said to have acquiesced immediately in this proposi tion, and also, anxious to suspend the threatened march of the Russians, to have sent an express to head-quarters to declare their obedience. They were informed, how ever, that it was too late; the Russians were on the march, and must proceed. ?'

MADRID, MARCEI 26.—A grand fete was given at Caere on the 24th, in celebration► of the Anniver sary of the entrance of the King into Spain after his captivity. The Cortes assembled en the 22d, 24th, and 23th. On the 22nd some interesting discussions took place on the project of the special commission of public safety. In the course of the debate, the pe- Fay Moms (keno, adverting to Continental affairs, observed, that Naples ought to be looked upon as the Constitutional vanguard, Sr:, as the centre, and Portugal the rear guard, and th..t if the first were attacked, Spain should be in readiness. Two thousand Spaniards in Sicily, said he, would preserve order better than 20,000 Neapol•tans. He wished therefore to know whether it would not be convenient to send 2,000 men into Sicily.

(FROM THR CHARLESTOWN CONUER OP MARCH 1311 We find in our Havannah Papers a Decree issued by the ewes, and approved by Ferdinand, dated 7th November, for the building of the following vessels, vie, :—two SO gun ships, six of 30 guns, six of guns, and six of 14 guns ; ,15,000m00 real, to be sp ' propriated to the payment of the same, and all the materials, except timber, to be procured in Spain. Tie Special Deputies to the Cortes from Cuba, who sailed thence a short time since in the French ship America for Bordeaux, had returned to the Havannah, having left the ship in a leaky condition. They were taken from os board by the Spanish brig of war Jacinto. From the Cnracoa papers of the 4th February:— The arrivals this week are uncommonly few. There is but little intelligence, except that General Bourca had left St. Martha for Santa Fe, accompanied by Commodore ARAI, whose squadron, we are told, re mained at the former place. It is likewise stated, that sonic unpleasant differences existed between Ad miral Beiox and General Slowrit.Lo, the nature of I which we have not ascertained. IZTRAI ST. 0!

FLORlDA.—Agrieultural enterprise has already in duced the shipment from the Southern Port, of a cargo of sugar-cane plants, cotton seed,and farming utensils An abstract of the produce of the last quarteri Re venue has been published, sod it fulfils th 4 wish which a paradoxical opponent of the extravag•a4 its tens was often used to express, " More Taxes, and less Revenue!" In the amount received, there appear§ a decrease in the last quarter, compared with the eor responding quarter of last year, exceeding the sum of two hundred and thirty-five thousand pounds. Figures are passable articles, and results In practical arithmetic are sometimes very mortifying to visionary calculators. They are undoubtedly so at present, both to the Quer catt.ou of the Exensmus•, and to his mercenary scribes. But diere s is nothing so easy as the fabrication of delusive accompts, and therefore the wits of/ the Treasury dependents, whose policy is to disguise the truth, are set to work on the occasio• to WO felted the understandings of the public. It its alleged that the paynseate of the last malt duty on the stock in hand in 1819, were not paid up till the April quarter of 1820, and on that secount the pre. sent quarter is apparently so much less than the nor responding quarter of last year. Admitting this to have been the case, it wiU be found on due examination, that the Revenue from tuneable articles for the last quarter, is less than that of the corresponding quar ter of the preceding year, by more than a hundred and sixty thousand pounds. Other evidence might easily be given of the defalcation, were the docutnents before our readers in a proper form for reference. But scarcely any other evidence is reqnisite than what the observa tion and experience of our readers can supply. Where• ever we direct our eyes, except to those who prosper on their country's ruin, we find proofs of retrenchment to a sevt , re degree ; and we know that such economy cannot possibly he exercised without producing its elect upon such of the taxes as are optional. What necessity has urged, good policy has long suggested ; and till a corresponding economy be introduced into the higher departments of the state, we trust that oar national Financiers will not find their situations more easy than the lot of those on whom they lay their exactions. Economy indeed, they told; of, and retrenchment they do exercise. But in what manner are their reductions made? in the petty savings obtained (ruin the minor departments and the lower clerics, while the exorbitant salaries of the su perior others, the great instruments of patronage and •unces of corruption are left untouched. It Is said that his Royal Highness the Duke of Glon crater intends visiting the Continent this summer, and remaining there several months.

The last we heard of this ship was when she was spoken with by the Duke of York, to the southward of the Line, sometime its June last ; she appears to have been lost in the early part,tof July on the island of Curia Maria, situated in the Bay of the same name, in let. 17. 37. on the coast of Xrabia. The only European Muni- 1 von from this ill-fated ship appear to lie Captain Janie. Irving, of the 2d N. 1., who was proceeding to join his corps in service in the Persian Gulf, and the gunner, an Eaglishman of the name of Thomson.. The rock on which she ran was so steep, that lied it been discovered at the distance of a ship's length, it is probable stir might have avoided it, as there are good channels he tweets all these islands, of which there are four large and two or three small ones. The Captain (Williams) and his officers, Mr. J. Henderson and 6. Oliphant, could not effect a landing, all were all drowned.

Another I Minister was procured, through the kindness of the Churchwarden, but lie having learnt the Rector's in terdiction, declined performing the required office.— i The Rector was then applied to, and he still persisted in his interdiction ; and the consequence was, that the t corpse was obliged to he left in the Church till the fo i llowing morning, before it could be iuterred.
