The Petition of the advocate has been ►eferred to the Committee of the Legislation cf the Cortes. The Archbishop of San Jago has published a pastors! letter, in which he says, " Think not, my dearest brethren, that the abolition of the Tribunal of the Inquisition has abolished the prohibition of reading the impious and scandalous books marked in the index. The power of prohibiting the read- - ing of books belongs to the Pope and to the Bi shops, they had•delegated it to the Inquisition, but they now resume the exercise of their right. Reid not then, my dearest brethren, those books that breathe of heresy, that revile the clergy, or calum niate the priests. Nor read those papers which ca lumniate your fellow-citizens." In the same ins toml letter, the Archbishop prohibits the curates from explaining the Constitution from the pulpit. " Confine yourselves," lie says to them, " to re commending obedience to the laws, and to causing it to he observed, that the Constitution proclaims our holy religion to be the only one admitted in the kingdom." It has been proposed in the Cortes to demand from the Ministers some explanations of the ex penses required by the fortresses situated on the coatis of Africa (Ceuta, Melillo, and Penon de Velez), for the purpose of ascertaining whether it may not be expedient to cede these places to the Emperor of Morocco, and to employ the money devoted to their maintenance to the ennuis! equip ment of a squadron, which should cruise in the Mediterranean for the protection of commerce. The Eirglish have several times testified a desire of licosestisig Ceuta, which is directly opposite to Gibraltar, and it is probibhe that they would not see with indifference this fortress pass into the hands of the Emperor of Morocco.

JULY IN. The spirit of destruction has at length seined upon a country, which, during the last five years, had made, under a wise administration, the hap piest iirogress in all the branches of public prospe rity, and which hid the best-founded claims to re pose after many years of storms. We commanicate to our readers the following accounts, which we have received from good authority, of late events in Naples : The commencement of the revolution is still covered with a veil. It is merely known that in the night between the Ist and 241 some mutinous soldiers, led by a subaltern officer sod • well-known priest of bad character. gave the signal at Nola, and that the rebellion having extended on the fol lowing days to other places, the King, for frlitOUP not yet sufficiently known, promised a constitution, the elementary principles of which should be made known in eight days. .

They did not indeed escape the notice of the Government, hut the mea sures which were adopted were not calculated to suppress the spirit of discontent which had long since manifested iteelf. The whole affair seems to be the result of a plan long formed. It is properly the work of the anperior classes soil of the army. The lower classes have not even now any share in it, and therefore remain perfectly tranquil." All the copies of the view of the proceedings against C. L. Sand, for the murder of . M.

The Augsburg Gazetfe contains a account from Naples, dated the 7th, agreeing. in grovel. with what is already known. The writer (a travel ler) says," the troops of the line appeared to he ani mated by the best spirit, but how great was the asto nishment of the Court on learning, in the night of the sth, that the whole army declared fur the Con stitution !—The same night a great Council of State was held on board a ship of the line, when the whole Royal Family were present.

Among the prisoners found at Ras-ul-Khyma were two )outlis, part of the crew of the Mary, of Madras, whose capture by the Joasmees we have often ad verted to, without however having any light thrown on the subject by the Madras Editors.

There is a quantity of fish caught ou the bank, upon which, and dates, they live. 1 1 There were a few horses, camels, cows, sheep, and goats, the greatest part of which they took with them. they are in general lean, as the sandy plain produces little or no vegetation, except a few date and cocoa-nut trees.

SATURDAY. AUGUST 5, 1320. W e publish this day a variety of extracts from German. Hamburg!), Dutch, and other Paper.. from which it will be seen that the resolution islac , i has been so happily effected at Naples. has pro; , ducrd a very lively sensation in every part of Continent. In Germany, from the peculiar r va i circumstances of that country. and,the state of the public mind upon the subject ul r ob: tics! rights, the effect of so brilliant so event must he electrical, end as the revolution in Naples was evidently produced by that which regelieriiril Spain, we doubt not that the example of Nilo,: will nut fail to operate upon the spirit of same other country. The Vienna Paper+, as might be expected, express all the angry feelings of the Austrian Cabinet upon a subject which so inti mately affects its most important interests. Austria must necessarily be aware that should the spirit of political freedom be once roused in Italy by the successful example of the Neapolitans, her do mination in that country will prove of short continuance, and it is evident from the tone of the Vienna Papers, that the Austrian Govern ment lament extremely that FtILDINAND of Naples should have with such little Ite►iration consented to the wishes of his subjects, and pro noised them the blessings of a representative con stitution, when he might, as they believe, hate sailed with his fleet to the Adriatic, and have soon returned to Naples with an Austrian army, and restored the affairs of state to their former situation. It is mentioned in a Vienna Paper that this mode of proceeding had been suggested to the Km, but that he was deterred from pursuing it by a threat from the Governor of the Castle of Elmo, wh;ch commands Naples, that if the KING left the capital he should instantly sur render this fortress to the Constitutionalists. It is. however, very evident that if the KING were willing or able to join the Austrian army. and thereby authorise the Austrian Government to in terfere in the domestic concerns of Naples, lie would have thought the possession of the Castle of Elmo of comparatively very little importance. The fact we believe to be as it has been already stated in this Paper. that the Etna was very un willing to accede to the demands of his troops. and would have left his capital for the pnrpose of claim ing the protection of Austria if he could have com manded the services of his fleet. But the sailors were imbued with the same principles u had in• fluenced the conduct of the army. and were no less determined to take advantage of the KING'A inability to resist. Austria may now reproach Inns for his facility. but FERDINAND Cell plead the irresistible necessity of circumstances. In the mean time it is positively asserted is a Vienna Paper. that an unusual activity prevails in that department of state to which the affairs of Italy are more immediately intrusted. This we can easily believe, but the statements are very con tradictory respecting the real object of the Austrian Government. The security of their owu posses sions would require a very considerable force, even though it were confined strictly to the defensive ; but we very much fear that the interests of Soveraigna. and a conscientious regard for the terms of the Holy Alliance, will induce Austria to advance beyond her own territories iu Italy, and that the proximity of a large Austrian force may tempt FIMMIAND to forget his vows, or ascribe them to constraint and necessity. We find that a large body of Austrian troops is to be collected in Hungary during the next month, for the ostensible purport of a review, and that the Emperor of RUSSIA and King of PRUSSIA are there to hold an interview with the Emperor of Aurrai*. The meetings of powerful Sovereigns are too generally conspiracies against the rights and liberties of msiikind, and when we consider how intimately the interests of Austria and Prussia upon the subject of popular pretensions are associated with the recorded sentiments of the Em peror of EuSsia on the revolution in Spain, we can not but apprehend that measures will be adopted injurious to the best interests of humanity. We received last night • series of Calcutta Journals from the sth to the 16th of February, extracts from which are giveu iu our preceding columns. We have received Paris Papers of Tuesday last. They contain detailed accouuts of the sittings of the Cortes of Spain on the 17th. the 18th, ■nd the 19th of last month. A Special Committee was formed on the 17th. for the purpose of examining a proposition made by the Deputy TUPIA, for regu lating the liberty of the press. One would imagine that the press might be suffered to exist free froze► fetters, and without much apprehension of thing. r from its efforts. in a country where the power of reading is for the most part uukuown to the great mass of the people. The moat important proposition made daring the sitting of the 19th. was that of MARTINEZ DE LA Rost, who moved that a report should be suede to the Cortes respecting the animal expenses of the African forts, the political, military, uud mercaut.le INDIA. CALCUTTA. FEBRUARY 14, iseo.

The fort surrendered after a resistance of five days, but not until the heavy guns had been landed from the Liverpool. and placed in battery by the indefatigable exertions of the navy, sud just before we were prepared to storm the place. We regret to learn, that Lieutenant Matheson, of his Majesty's 65th, was killed by a matchlock ball, whilst before this place : two European rank end file killed, aro the only other casualties we have heard of ; but we hope that we shall soon be in possession of more authentic information, dispatches I having been brought down from Sir W.
