WEEKLY RETROSPECT. It is remarkable, and has long been remarked, that PARTY SPIRIT has been invariably in the habit of attacking measures, becatise brougll for ward by particular men, and then of assailing the men on account of the measures ; thus arguing, for reasoning _we cannot call it, not in a circle, ; but in a most. eccentric Ellipsis, or rather in a tortuous Spiral, which, whilst it seems approach ing towards the centre of Truth, is in reality diverging further from it. Several instances of this have been given dur ing the past week, both in a certain plaee, and in _the columns of the Opposition Press, in petty attacks upon a Cabinet Minister, who, of all others, has least interiniddled with personal po litics, but adhered to the duties of his °Kee with such attention, that it is with pride and satisfaction we find it acknowledged, even by the ramblers, that never was the British Navy, both in and out of . commission, in so efficient a state, during a period of peace, as at the present Moment. Ft is indeed fortunate • for the noble individual wha s hol4 the situation at the head of eur Naval Service', and for the coantry, that his office mingles less . with party personalities than any other in the Cribinet: The Premier and the Leader in the Commons, if 'the Prethier is in the Upper House, must make their minds up. to so - much personal attack as will occupy much of that time and ability which ought to be solely devot ed to the :-:ervice of the Country ; but a First Lard of the Admiralty, is out of the range of the nibblers, both officially and personally, except as during the past week, when reiterated 'charges of disrespect to fallen Majesty were brought'for ward on assumptions founded on dates which the columns of Tiiz SUN have already shewn to have been falbified-7--but sinking men will grasp at bullrushes.--Let us, however, quit Party Poli tics, and view the resources of the,Country as exhibited in recent Parliamentary Papers. In Finance, spite of all prognostications, the defal cation of the year, as compared with the pre ceding, has only be-en475,‘2,1531., upon an increase between 48 and.4b - ; and, even then, it must boobserved, that this deficiency is only equal. to half the amount' of .War Taxes, which in this year Lave ceased to operate. in the Cus tmas indeed, - there hiS been, a falling off of about cue gnd three quarters of a ; but in the . _ Excise, there has been an increase of nearly one lind a half. Let it be rem netnbered too, that a inG:it material check upon the Customs arose out of the unsettled state of the Colonial Timber Trade ; but that biling- set .at rest, for. one year at least, we may look forward - with hope and con filence to the exertions of as spirited and liberal . a portion of British Speculators as any, in the ap proaching Fall and ensuing Spring for an eaten- lion of our ComMerce, and a consequent increase in the Customs, and that too in a quarter where • the profits will be. all our own ! Party, as usual, has been buSily at work dur ing the week ; hut the salutary check which the . City Politicians have met with, in their attempt to dictate to the Supreme Court 'of Legislature, to prove themselves the organ of Civil and of Can on Law, mill to stop the course of public justice, will, we trust, induce Common Councilmen to stick to their slops, and Aldermen, to their shawls, to look for thrum caps that will fit them selves, and meddle only with such measures as they understand ! But, doubtless, they think 'it hard neither to have a sop in the pan, nor to touch the plate in the butler's pantry ! Should they succeed, indeed*, as The Morning Chronicle seems to aim at, to persuade the Sol diery to bring about,a change of Ministers, since they cannot persuade the Commons to do so, they may hope to have all_ their, own way,. and by repealing the Alien Bill to have the company • of all their dear friends from the COntinent ; • but thank Heaven! our Army and Navy are too closely interwoven with the Country to have an interest distinct from their fellow-citizens. They • will not vote for men whose first and constant cry - has been to disband them ; and whose skill in finariciaLeconorny would, by one breath, throw one hundred thousand men, with their wives 'and - families (who are now living in comfort), u p on parish relief, or into a state of starvation !

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. ,C Morning Post.] In the House of Lords on Saturday, before the business of the day commenced; several Peers were in earnest private conversation, acid eXarrlin~ frig the length and-distances of the benches from the Bar to the. Table of , the House. This ap peared to arise. from an apprehension or doubt, that the present accommodation in those re spects, extensive as it is, _will not be ade quate to the ,full attendance which is expected to take- place on the coming momentous oc casion. The present aggregate number of Lords, including Representative Peers (Scotch and Irish,) and Prelates, is just 366. Of these, the Minors and the Catholic Peers together, amount to not more than twenty ; and though it is understood that Lords above the age of 70, will riot be required to attend, yet their presence will by no 'means be precluded, (or if so, the No ble and Learned Lord. in the green ribbon who has taken so. - .prominent'a part in the late inte resting discussions, must 'be Ex on the coming occasion.) it certainly-appears from such a cal culation as may be made- from a mere view of. the premises; that the wholly unprecedented numbers which there is every reason to expect will be in attendance on the occasion alluded to -cannot be conveniently accommodated with seats.; acid the consideration of : the most eligible means of supplying this deficiency,-was in all probabi, lily, the topic of discussion among the-Peers to whom we have alluded ; . and .who, subSequently, retired -to the Robing Chamber for the-purpose of a inure convenient discussion. It is supposed that defaulters -will be finedWO/. for each day they are absent, and be committed to the Tower. {Morning Chronicle.] We thought, if there were any one position more universally adopted than another among ci vilized nations, it was, that the persons of Repre sentatives of foreign Governments should be held sacred in the country to which they are de r ' puted. They have always been considered en titled to the rights of hospitality, in the most liberal construction of the word. It has some times been• disputed, whether even the most flagrant violation of the municipal laws of a Coun try sheuld- subject Ambassadors to trial in that country ; bat we believe :;t has never once been disputed, that except in the case of some flagrant violation of the laws, they are entitled to the most. ample protection. They ought not merely to ire secure from bodily assaults, but from all language of an insulting and offensive nature directed againSt them personally. 'We were therefore not a little astonished to See a paper devoted to the interests of Ministers, and patronised by Ministers,, not merely in its leading column indulging in the most gross personal attacks against the Duke de- Cazes, the new French Ambassador, but insert ing a letter from an enemy of that individual, which could only be construed into a personal threat or challenge to him. It seemed to us an :odd way. to protect foreign Ambassadors, in Ministers to encourage their writers to threaten them with castigation. But if we were asto nished at this violation of the, rights of hospita lity, We we're not less-astonished at the sort of defence which has been set up for it. This Mini,' sterial expositor of the Laws of Nations tells us that Wicquefort, in the Second Book of his" Trea. tise on the Ambassador and his Functions," says, that in certain embassies, " the persons em ployed ought always 'to be of the first distinc tion." The corollary from this which we are to draw, no doubt is, that we are to be the judge of the fitness of the Ambassador - sent to us, and not the King who sent him, and that if he does not happen to please us we are at liberty to bait him as much as we please in our Journals, and to en courage all and sundry to assault and assassinate him. We hope for the credit of the country thA this doctrine will not have many partizans among us. Hew far it is a favourite doctrine at Court we know not, but we are certain it has - never yet been 'adopted by the people. We believe this is the only instance of personal insult to foreign Ambassadors which has occurred for a long pe riod in our history. If we are to give Ministers credit for the sentiments which have lately- been avowed by their advocates, we cannot fail to have a most exalted opinion of them. One of these advocates preaches up insult / to Ambassadors, another tells us he cares not it the Queen should be got rid of as a martyr, and a third, improving. upon them, goes so far as to say, that if such a woman as the Queen should be found on the pavement, she would be committed to Bridcwell and whipped. This is the Ministerial Press ! [New Times.] We have done full justice to the moderation displayed by The Morning Chronicle, in regard to the painful discussions on-ihe case of her Ma jesty : and if, on another subject, that Journal has evinced a diffeient spirit, we would fain hope that it was but the momentary ebullition of in- : considerate feelings, Which.reflectiort will correct. The Revolution at Naples' was in fact directed by a few individuals who had been in power under Murat,' and who had found means to gain over the soldiery, under the specious pretence of establishing a new Constitution. We are not surprised that the Editor of The Morning Chro nicle 'should see in this event nothing but the triumph of freedom and humanity ; but that he should launch out into a general panegyric on all Revolutions effected by soldiers is, to be sure, a little extraordinary. We are confident that he could not possibly have anticipated the use which would be made of his remarks by the restless labourers in the cause of sedition. , There is a nest of diabolical - Trait Ors in" this metropolis, who are straining every nerve to bring about a Revolution. These wretches immediately laid hold of the leading article of The Morning Chro nicle, as being admirably suited-to their purpose ; they placarded it in large type, and dispersed it ttiotlll tile town by dieans of horn-boys. Th;:, fact alone is a stronger reproof to O , :r coVempo rary than any censure we should wish to e*press. [The. Times.] RtVOLUTION AT Narars.--There have been no arrivals from Naples of later date than the in tglligence communicated ia , our Paper or . Frlik, WI other letters # ,have come 4.44 . 44k15ich.c0n . - tain a fekv. - The Minisths, it appears, resigned their situations immediately on the King's declaration that a Constitution should be granted to his subjects.. The credit of having materially contributed to the sudden acquiescence of the Government is given to a General Peppi, who, when the disaffected tfoops took up 'their position on the Nola road ) set out clandestinely from Naples and put himself at their head. Min. chino, a canon of Nola, and a man of consider able. ability, is also a leading character among the Insurgents. One account states that the King intended to apply for foreign aid against those who demanded a Constitution, but it is of doubt ful' authenticif y. The situation of Italy is fax' from tranquil., Letters have been received from Milan of as late a date, as the 13th, which speak of a gathering storm rn that quarter. They mention that several 'arrests had recently been made there, and that the Austrian Government have infor mation of a secret society, composed of nearly 200 officers who served under Buonaparte, and the greater part of whom are now living in Pied mont. After this information, the. Austrian re sident at Sesto Callen& received instructions to let no person, without a passport, cross thedake Maggiore, even for an hour. The order was ri gidly enforced, and many Italians who came froth Sisso to Piedmont ) with passports only for a day, were placed under surveillance ; " but the watch ers and the watched (says the Milan fetter) are equally infected With the revolutionary Spirit ."

Those of Friday, which were due this morning, have not arrived. The Mon& tour contains the following details respecting the Revolution at Naples : NAPLES, JULY 6. (EXTFACT OF A 'PRIVATE LETTER.) " We some days since witnessed events which deserve to be related to you. 1 will inform you of what appears to me to be most int6resting. The Carbotrari had gained• the army, or rather the soldiet's, and several of the Officers had become Carbonari, and by movement similar to those of the Spanish army, ours has produced nearly the same result. It has proclaimed the Constitution, although we have not any; the King has promised One, and it is evident that the men who dit rct the - movements of the troops wish for one similar to that of the Cortes. " In the night of the Ist instant, sonic squadrons of cavalry which were in garrison at Nola, deserted with theirarms and baggage, and proceeded towards Avellino, a town situated a very short distance from Naples. They were accompanied by two or three officers,and were soon joined by someinlmbitaints of the country, all shouting'yhe Constitution forever.' They were also joined by-a part of the National Militia of that Pro-. ;ince', whom General I!epe had recently organised. Their in siouations and their menaces had no effect for three days on the troops stationedat Avellitto . ; hut. either through a deficiency of strength, or conniiance, the latter at length joined the Insur gents, who then forced the Atithotities of Avellino to F ro-' c l a i m the Constitution; declaring that they would take fo r heii model that of Spain. • Shonts, howei er, of Long live the King,' were Mingled-with those Of ' The Constitution for ever;' but there were cries at th'e same time of ' Down With the Ministeri.' During the two 'days employed in negocia tion at Avellino, the Government had maeched, troops front Salerno, Naples and Capua, commanded by Generals Carrts cosa, Ambrosio, and Boccoromana. It was not known whe• ther these troops could be relied upon, add we learnt yesteil' day evening the defection of the column that nisi cited front Salerno.- The other columns lost, in a similar manner, two or three regiMenti. That, however, under the orders of Gen. Carrascosa, to Whom had been confided the command in chief, displayed fidelity and determination, and the General offered to attack the insurgents at Avellino• -But last night two regi ments, Which were in garrison 'here,. deserted and went over to the insurgents, under the conthiet of General Pepe, the only General who has openly abandoned the cause of the King. As soon as his Majesty was informed of- this new desertion, the King assembled a Council, and at morning a-PrO clamation was posted up, in which his lztjesty declares, that -the nation having manifested its wish for a Constitntiott, he •had determined to give them one; that be is occupied in ar• ranging the-bases of one, and that the arrangement will Ite• made knOwn within eight days. The troops are in the mean time desired to return to their quarters, and the inhabitants of the country to resume their aceristomed occupations.
