ISLAND OF COPIIICA. !I JAN. 31.—Urneral Baran Krenier, lauded at St. Florets?, after a passage of three days, and made his public entry yesterday, into Bastia, after which he issued the following Proclamation:— " Inhabitants of Corsica, I come amongst you as the messenger of pea , :e, oar King and mach beloved Monarch loves you as he does all the rest of his great 14inily of France. lie has invested me with such power, as will aid me in increasing your happi ness. :lly mission has fur its object the encourage ment of fidelity to our king. obedience to the laws, • Tropfeet to prITOTI and property, as OtttMos for the past, and union for the future ; this is what I recom mend, and what I expi,et from you." Baron BRENIKO. The French funds have improved a few Centimes. • Private letters received to-day from Paris, state that the French troops eviuce the most anxious desire to unite with the Neapolitans in opposing the aggression of the Austrians. Their movements with that view Lave been so open and alarming as to 'erasion much excitement in the Chamber of Derain. The last de bates in that Assembly are stated to have been very atnrmy ; and of so serious a character that the Keeper oldie Scabs is underttood to have prevented, though ant witlont mach difficulty, the report of their pro ceedings from reaching the public eye. • Every day, nay every hour, is teeming with events of the highest interest to the Continent of Europe and to the world et large. The proclamation of the Pope on the,approaoh of the hostile armies to hie States, wa s Trickly 10:1..tred by a dectsration of the Allied Sove rt ling on the views with which the Austrian formless!' advanced ; and these measnres, accompanied with the nrivernents of the contending parties, and the expects- Cott of.esserlden and a serious conflict, are producing as agitation of no ordinary kind throngh all the neigh bouring nations. The French, still cherishing the smothered embers of their revolutionary spirit and ardent to obtain occasion to vindicate their political independence and redeem their military renown. are anxious to unite their efforts with their wishes in behalf of the Neapolitan muse; and if private ac counts received today can be depended on, the French evincing such unequivocal symptoms the occasion, as to excite In the minds iment the most serious concern.

The mode in which these averages barb ;mod to be struck, we know, have long been the spite of complaint among farmers; and there is no mason why they should not be settled in a correct and equitable manner. Redress in this respect, may prevent the impositions of some middle-men, as they are called; but the benefit to be derived from it can not, we conceive, be greatly felt by the agricul tural interest, at a period when so mach distressed... — The laws respecting. corn may be altered and amended as much as the Legislatare and the Agricaltitists may please, but every legislative remedy of this kind can be of small avail. It may Wit the burthen from one shoulder to another ; but still the pressure will remain, and the body will sink under it. Nothing short of diminishing the weight, nothing less Out the redaction of taxes can afford relief. It is stated from Vienna (eia Paris) that Lord Stew art had sent orders to the Admiral commanding our squadron in the Bay of Naples to retire with all Ids vessels, the moment he should learn that the Austrians bad passed the Neapolitan frontiers. It adds, that Deputies from Sicily were on their way to laybach to offer to take up urn's against Naples,.provided the King would restore the Constitution which he had given Sicily, at the instigation of Great Britain, in Other arcounts state that tlie garrison of Naples had marched to the frontiers to join the army, and that the plan suggested by the Carbonari was to take the of fensive, to cuter the Papal States, and occupy Rome before the Austrians in order to s. , ize upon the large magazines which had been formed in that•city. On the other hind, it was resolved, that if the Austrians succeeded in penetrating to Naples, the seat of the Government should be transferred to Conn, in the Abbruzxo Citcriore. A discussion Which has occasioned so many tumul tuous debates in the French Chamber of Deputies was closed on the 22d, and the Annuity Law passed by a majority of 247 to ill. The Minister of the Interior then proposed a project of law for waking a new orga nization of all the Coationnes in France. Much alarm. was expressed by the Member of the left side, who exclaimed that the real object of the new law was to revive the ancient Regime as it stood before the Revo lution. The project was, however, ordered to be printed, and will be examined in the Bureaus of the Chamber before it becomes the subject of public dis. cussion.—French Funds SM. 30c. It is reported, that the King arsisted by her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta, will hold a drawing room, at the palace of Backingliaru-house , on the 22nd of the ensuing month.

As i llie general opinion here, that hosti l it ies either h orainst be the result of the recent invasion of the Papal or Nespitittan Stares, nothing connected with the subject can, I presume, be uninteresting to the people of England. The folli.wing fact furnishes a farther illustration of the manner in which Europe con tinues to be governed. It is positively asserted, that Lord Castlereagh called upon M. Decases some dayi ago, and reproached hits+ with a treaty concluded at Laybach by Blacas, the French Ambassador, . which makes France a party to the forcible oCeupation of Naples ; whereas our Minis , tars conceived that those of Louis XVIII. had agreed .coact with them in all things, with regard to Naples. 'Demises is said to have replied that he was convinced those who sent him to London, had not swerved from their promises to the Court of St. James's, anti that leatfrionils were totally ignorant of the engagement al laisid-to by his Lordship. When the Courier who beeesght over an account of the conference arrived, a Conseil of Ministers was immediately assembled. The ...re suit of this was, that 31. Blacis has the credit of having entered into itipalations which were not antho. eked by the ostensible servants of his Sovereign; bat ofanother party, which c•instantly acts here in oppo sition 't* the Ministers. As enough has already been said of this junta, it is unnecessary to name it. So indignant was M. Pasptier, Minister far Foreign Af fairs, at the conduct of Blacas, that he instantly ten dered-Lis resignation; whether this will be accepted or not, yet remains to be seen. At all events, there seems to be no (wirer any doubt but that while solemn promises are made at Paris, they are as solemnly bro ten at Laybach. And I am satistied, that nothing but a similar policy pursued by M. Ilaval Montmo rency at Madrid, could have given rise to the note alluded to in my last, and which will be followed by a declaration of war on the part of Spain, if an imme diate change does not take place in the conduct of the French Government. ' The deb des in the Chamber of Deputies continue bite of the most stormy description ; and although Om friends of humanity are few comparatively speale -14, they seem to acquire a gigantic pivver from the math 'trench of their cause. Those tneritorions in dividnals ft-el that the present system contain' the elements of its own destruction. an , ' if they can but prevent the light of truth from being extinguished, they are sure of final success. Considering the ample means still left to the British people of expressing their sentiments, every eye is queued towards England. MI ask, what are they doing in Westminster, at York, Norwich, Lancashire, and those other counties which have never tamely wit nessed the rights of nations trampled on ? The almost anxiety is felt here a. to what steps are likely his tal * Grit on this moinelit.itis occasion ; and if it be any pleasure to Lord Roslyn, and those who followed his I, o olship in the House of Lords in the debate of the 13th, I can assure them, that their sentiments are unusually admired at Paris, while they are hailed as a happy presage of the exertions of the whole nation. ---...semmessa It is stated in a Ministerial paper that letters is re ported to hare been received from Milan, which an nounce the arrest of one of the assassins who attem, ted to murder Colonel Browne. The wretch is reported to have confessed that he and his associate were hired by an individual at Mantua, who promised them no less a sum than ten thousand francs fir the perpetration of the atrocious crime. PUBLIC MBETING AT JACOB'S WLLL.-.-YeSterhy, at one o'clock, a public meeting, as we announced in our last, was held at Jacob's Well, Barbican, to cal: the attention of the public to the sufferings of persons incarcerated under the sentence of the law, on account of their political exertion!. Mr. Benbow was called to the chair ; and several resolutions were propose 4 and carried, far opening an extensive subscription for the relief of the unfortunate sufferers. Mr. Mills, Mr (last, Mr. Clarke, Mr. West, and Dr. Watson took an 'active part in the business of the slay. A cqmistittee was appointed for circulating and giving effect to the resolutions; and a public wetting was agreed to be belt' every three months to lay before the public the state of the proceedings of the Committee. The ob ject of the Meeting we understand to be, to prom;%te a subscription of a penny per week, among the working classes of society, and larger sums among persons in more aMuent circumstances, and to authorise a depn- lettion to wait upon individuals in the various circles their acquaintance who are disposed to contribute **the ends in view. The soma contributed are to be warded to Mt. West, who has accepted the office of T r easurer on the occasion. COSYMILL COUNTY ?Aityrtwo.—The High Sheriff 'lf Cornwall has, it seems, thought proper to conciliate the good will of those who reckon County Meetings a farce. A requisition had been presented to him, signed br nearly fifty of the most respectable freeholders of the County, requesting bins to call a meeting to take into consideration subjects of a nature the muss inter them men aud Britons. This request lie
