*Mao time in explaining its views to the partiel, Ituti„.more especially, it felt an examinationneces vary to the Court of Austria, because that country was the one moSt. likely to be affected by the changes which had taken plaCe. - We did declare . .at the same tithe, that whateVer effect they Might lawse upon her; they could have no operation dan ,gerous to our interests ; and upon that ground all intention of interference was disclailned. Every precaution had been taken to separate the ques . ten as it stood between ,Naples and the Austrian ' aropire, from any identity with the. British em pire ;• and upon that ground we had avoided giv ing aanction to Naples with:nit a full knowledge of the situ:ation.of all parties. Whether Austria ( aroaid enter — into a war, even if she had just ' Oasuse, was by no :nears a matter of certainty ; - because,: after the- establishment of sufficient aseatiud, then came the . question or eapediency. `a , s . nel.he fully agreed with what had - been said of ttAdifficultv which' must attend 'the occupation of "he Neapolitan territories by an - Austrian - •foroe. •This being his view of that part of the • • question, the House could not believe that . any i;:isli inister, undeasuch impressions, could be as - ats'a of the folly of entering into so- coniplicat -; eat a loaestion, without the existence of some ab solatenecessity. Suppdsina, for the sake of at aausnent,,, that Austria .ha . :l 9 just and - legitimate cause for declaring war ; even then the .. difficulties ;which the prospect of 'that war e , ::Fainited,., would be more than enough .to p; event a -third party from rushing in to advise .it, at , the risk of beiag" afterwards burthened with a share of the obloquy of . its disasters:— ifihateier reasoning he was offering to the House -;see n thii question, he wished it to'be distinctly tastier:stood that he was not considering himself as a.party, in the slighttst degree, to any of the •probable occurrences upon which he meant to • animadvert. The conduct of Austria might be ' wrong, and if it was so, he had. no share in it. 11,ehowever, be felt with the llonourable and -. Learned Member, that by the late changes in the C-‘dvernment of Naples no real and solid danger • • was created towards that of Austria, he should • 'be ashamed not to declare his opinion openly in ' his place. But as 'he did not so feel, it did ' nast follow that he was prepared to entertain the • • reverse of that •propositiott ; and even though entertaining it lie was not called upon to ex press it. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman wished to create an idea that there was something - so horrid and depraved in the late Government of ' 2i - aples, as to justify any danger to which its ter • mination might give rise. - As far as he (Lord - Castlereagh) had an opportunity:of judging, he believed that such a charge was most unfounded, unjust, and cruel. Without the least wish or in tention of saying one word which' could wound tae feelings, of any Sovereign or Governments in Europe, he must say that the state of Spain, an tecedent to the last Revolution in that country, veal one iii which such complainis might justly Alas's! been made. A,, general and well-grounded .feeling of dissatisfaction, existed amongst its people, which extended to the army, by whose 1... d the Revolution Was . effected. Even that army had cause of discontent, for it was neither well paid notated, but felt the common want of a Ilona and constitutional Government, But at enough in this instance there had been cause for eaange, and, in fact, absolute necessity for it, yet be's:lust protest against the doctrine-which would raise the people of every nation in the world against its Rulease-e-which :excited -to rebellion the subjects, most particularly of those - States not rale; under a Representative 'form of Govern.- ' merit. He thought this mode of forcing the li a to ties Of .mankind, was the last mode likely to contribute to the benefit of those liberties. It • 1 , 7;,f 4 a little too much to lay down as a principle, ' -even morally speaking, that where there was at ,31: - ience of the representative system, there . could be neither liberty nor happiness. • The Isle Lord then -referred to the state of the • 1. - -1. : alom of Naples immediately befdre the Ite v-r;!-:-.1on, and — shelied that the Government Under t:se King was ofthe . mildest, and most paternal natuse: He read two fetters frorra that city, one of which was written on the 31st March previous to the ri:!volution, and after speaking - of the con ' fide:ice - and, increasing prosperity of - the country, it went On to 'slate, that " the degree of liberty •whicla individuals now enjoys is greater than has 4aer - WO 'known in this country." It also an nounced, " the total abolition of the Feudal Sratent,a and all its concomitant abuses," and " the Ondering all men eqtral in the eye of the Visa"- The 'other letter, which was dated July ,the fstlV - '''lloree day's after the revolution had larbkon oat, stat'ed; that during the :whole pro , o'Coedings at that important period, not a shadow 'of Bltrne • had •been thrown upon the existing Governm - ent.

And befot'e it became them to issue a remonstrance to that Power in favour of the new Constitution, they were bound to take their relative situations into their immediate view. Much was said about the intention of Austria to put down the small States of Italy. Now he never heard Honourable Gentlemen opposite make any of these complaints when the Great Napoleon was overrunning Genoa and the other small States.- , --(Loud cheering.)—All that could then be got from them of the justice of - such proceedings never extended beyond a monosyllable.—(Cheers.)—The aim of the Car bonari was now openly declared to be the throw ing Italy into one State.—They were no longer a Neapolitan sect; they were now more properly to be called a European sect. In Naples, they had arrived at that state, -that disguise was no longer considered necessary. They openly intimidated the Parliament, and, in fact, go verned the Country by force; undisguisedly avowing their object to be not so much a revolu tion in the Government of Naples, as' to drive the Austrian power out of Italy. He would appeal to an lion, and Gallant Member op posite (Sir IL Wilson), who was acquainted with their movements, whether this was not the case ? The Hon. and Learned Gentleman could• not conceive that it was the duty of an Austrian Mi nister to attend to his moral philosophy, instead of looking after the welfare of his master's domi nions. While these sects were harbouring the wild - theories of consolidating Italy into one state, under whom, or under what head they did not themselves know, was it then that Austria should allow the bead quarters of the band to be established in Naples ? If he was the Austrian Minister he should think twice before he allowed the establishment of such a sect in his immediate neighbourhood without trying to shake their power when they had avowed their intention of subverting his. With re gard to any views which Austria might have upon the .South of Italy, the jealousy of the other powers of Europe would never allow her to form any permanent establishment in that quar ter. 'The Noble Lord then took a brief view of the Revolution, and of th e manner in which the Constitution had been forced upon the King He asked if .any one could be surprised at this GOvernment holding back under such circum stances, and not being disposed, like the Hon. and Learned Member, to rush into the arms of this Carbonari Government! He was convinced that the sense of the country would have repro bated such a course. And it was not the eloquent appeals of the lion. and Learned Gentleman,and his friends around him, which would attract from a sound and discretionary view of this important subject, the minds of the people.— They bad always risen triumphant from every endeavour to mislead them, and he doubted not but that the present effort would be made in vain. —(Loud Cheering.)—His Lordship_ then remarked upon the battles fought in Sicily, and the faithless conduct of the. Neapolitan Parliament in annulling the treaties entered into with the Palermitans by General Pepe,after the inhabitants had been disarmed. If. the House was of opinion that there had been no ground for. further interference on the part of this - Government, it would 'be satisfied that there was no occasion for the' prodnction of the papers called for by the Honourable and Learned Mover. He could not now produce those papers con sistently with his duty, and with the policy of the Government ; but the time would come when he should he at liberty to afford every ex planation to the House, and he should not then shrink from the most minute exposition of that line of conduct, which his Majesty's Ministers had deemed it right to pursue. For the reasons he had stated,. he called upon the House to put a direct negative upon the motion. (Hear, hear!) S:r ROBERT WILSON entered into the nature of the sub ject at some length. Fe condemned the general policy of the Allied Sovereigns; entered into an examination of their pretensions to interfere with the concerns of such a Power as NOles, under the circumstances she was now placed in, and contended-that it was the ditty of this cot - intry to do all in its power, by remonstrance, to prevent hostilities on the part of Austria, In adverting to what he described as the impolitic conduct of Great Britain, the Gallant General said, that for the•honour of the country and the repoiatiou of its Adminis tration, be wished to bare 'an answer -to this question,— Whether or not did a British Agent mist at the tragedy of the dent!' of the Ring of Naples in ISIG; whether did be or not assist at the military trial and military execution of that Sovereign ?" Lord CASTLEREAGH promptly rose, and said he could' assure the Gallant General that he never heard of the circum stance before.—(A. laugh.) • - Sir R. li'ILSON said be had asked the question. zberause be was jealous of the character of the British Nation ; know- ing, as he did, that the imputation came from authority in which he reposed much -confidence. ,The Gallant General • pros - ceded to enforce his ?pinion upon ;the general question, by the introduction of a variety of arguthents and illustra 7tion3, and concluded by saying, that only let the Neapolitans make Jesistancc in Ilwir power against their aggres. sort—only let them show their resolution, and that the tlamt of tilwitv had not animated coward souls—only let them show This, and they would be aided by the free and the brave of every country ; and that though th e ir s t rugg l e m i g h t tenni ... Wile in theii defeat, still their example would he enough to -render the triotryli of a partial - compiest on the part of their despotic foes ultimately of little adeantage.---Cheers.) WILBERFORCE stated distinctly, that he entertained the strongtstobjectiofislo the uncanditionai maintenance of the• monarchical principle." lie could nut avoid viewing with jealousy the circumstance of the Powers of Europe de liherately announcing their expectation of the co-operation of this country in their- policy against Naples. It might be true, that no particular Power entertained designs of terri torial aggrandizement, yet he believed they would have no objection to a slice. If such principles as those upon which they seemed to act were allowed.to opera,te without controul, the liberties of England were not safe.—(Hear !)—Nor could true liberty, true philoiophy, nor true reli g i on flourish unless mankind were . allowed to express their dissent from such a principle. He thought that the trite security of this country must lie, in not only watchfully using thu most rigid economy, but by a timely application to the relief of the people, by.en• •deavouring to take off a share of their burdens, and by culti rating their affections. , , In this way only could we expect, to be a great and happy nation, and to retain that high rank - amongst the nations .0 which we were so - mach entitled." - I...drd CASTLEREAGH explained, sTualrf. WOjTLEY objected.in• the stronge•t man ner to some Of the cloctiiries contained in the paper said to hinttain certain other sentiments - of the - Allied Sovereigns. - - •tleprotested against the,doctrinc bf summoning the King of L.apr.cptuitry to ft conference susti_as: that of Lavbach..

Colonel .DAVIES defended the Neapolitans. against the 'clirge of elideasiuting to draw the Subjects of other Stat e s ftom their allegiance; The inhabitants of Ponte Corso sent Peputies at . thecommeneement of the revolution with a de- Sire to become paities; but the Neapolitans. so far from taking' au advantage of that disposition, actually reconciled them to the. Pope, aed induced them to return to their elle.- , gi ce --- . _ TIERNEy kaid It appeared to lihn — thit the Noble Lord'had chine either Sob little or too much, fle felt that it would he extraordinary if, after the contrary opinions that were expressed upon this question, the House should resolve that no nitric information should be granted upon it. The whole speech of the Noble Lord amounted to this—" 1, the English Minister, am mat Teady to, do any thing against Naples, so do not ask toe; but I tell you, Prince Metter inch-4 tell you, that were I you, I would do something."— From' the statement of the Noble .Lord, it appeared that our Minister attended the Congress without any power to take a part its the deliberations of the Congress —so that, in fact, ire had on that occasion -only a seat in the gallery, just to hear what was going- on: and ..that as soon as the question• was to he, put, whether the army should march, then stran gers were 'ordered to withdraw,—(A laugh !)—He had as strung a wish as any one that the peace of this country should be preserved. He was convinced that a pet feet understand imp subsisted between the Cabinet of this country anti that of AuStria ; and, if he was not misinformed, this; PoWer had evinced:a disposition to interfere in the internal concerns of . this country. On a late occasion, when there was some ru mour of a change of Ministry, he understood that - a remon strance front' Prince Metternich was presented 1)3/Abe AUS• trims Ambassador against any change of that kind, to-his Majesty.—(Hear, hear !)—He firmly believed that the Noble Lord approved in his heart of every *log which wits now doing try AuA Fla and her Allies.—(Hear !) • Mr. ROBINSON defended the continct - of this Government ;. and conteoded that the honour of this Country required the declaration contained-its thecircolar whicls had been so much conimented upon. As to the remonstrance which had been alluded to, he knew of no such existing, though be was not surprised at credit being given to its existence, when he con sidered that persons of high authority and character had as serted it didso. Neither was he surprised that Prince Met -ternich should have been alarmed at the idea of his Noble Friend going out of office, and being succeeded by the person in qtrestion,that person having also, in conversation, declared, that, should hs come into power, his first act should be to bring back Rnonaparte to Europe. Mr. TIERNEY trusted the House would indulge him with a few words in explanation. It was impossible the House should Misunderstand. the allusion of the ltigtrt Honotiro hle Gentleman—it was . an allusion to himself—it was he Tierney) who was 501",./aoteiLto have held this conver sation respecting the.xemonstrance and the return of Buono parte. It was not till the present moment, however, .that he could have imagined a being, s 6 insignificant as himself, could have inspired the great Sovereigns - , assembled at Troppan,. and their powerful Ministers, with alarm. Ile bad also heard that his Majesty had been informed of this conversation, and at the same time had been told it could certainly be only said as a joke. To this lie understood Isis Majesty good - buttress.- edly observed, it might be a joke ; but such Jokes ought to he punished with a fit of the gout.—( A laugh.)—To return, him - ever, to the Sovereigns and their alarm. He must request the Noble bud, in his next dispatch to -Prince Metternich, to set this alarm at rest, and .assure his Highness, that. if he (Mr. Tierney) had said such a thing - , be w 35 cer tainly only in joke; and that he woUld . joke on this subject no more, since its consequences were so serious. Mr. J.W. WARD could not rote fur this motion, because he could not withdraw his confidence from Ministers, whom be considered sincere in their declarations. Ue, however, connemned the conduct of the Allies towards Naples, which he considered more objectionable than any part of the con duct of Buonaparte, whose , career was opera and attended with glury,..whilst the proceedings of the Holy Alliance had been concealed and dark. He was, however, decidedly of opinion the policy of this country should be peace, and notwithstand ing what had been said on this subject he was convinced we were safe. We were safe because we were strong, and well it was for its that we were strong, foe by our conduct on tli!s occasion we bad drawn on ourselves the jealousy and hatred of those great persons whose schemes our policy had opposed. Mr. BROUGHAM did not rise in expectation of adding any thing to what had been said by the last Speaker, hut to, express his hope that the Congress of Laybach would not consider the vote of the House.lo night as a vote in their favour, since the vote of to-night decided nothing as to the conduct and acts of that Congress. The Honourable Member then adverted to the probable contest. between Naples and Austria; fora war, a great and glorious war, in defence of liberty,. he thought inevitable, though he hoped, there was not the most distant chance of one being drawn into it. Of the commencement of this war Le could argue little favourable to Naples, but of the final result he could have no doubts ; fur even if subdued in the North, the Neapolitans would rise in the South ; and if put down in the South, the spirit of resistance would revive in the North. With respect to the feeling of the Holy Alliance towards this Country, he hoped it was not such as his Hon. Friend had described it ; for though they disliked our- Constitution and form of Government, yet they were always well inclined towards our subsidies. The Won. Member concluded by again expressing his desire that the House should divi4le,• and that however the numbers might appear, it should-not go abroad to the Holy Alliance that this House bad expressed any approbation of the conduct of the Congress of Layhach. Sir J. MACKINTOSH rose amidst a loud cry for the.fines lion, and made a brief reply. He said, he shouhl ever rejoice that he had brought the proceedings of the Allies before the House. He also rejoiced in the generous spirit which had per • varied the House, and he declared his intention to ',less hi, motion to a division. All that had been done against Naples had been done upon the sanction of a new code of the laws of nations• It had been stated, that a British Officer was upon the Council of War which condemned the late King of Naples to death. That assertion Wad been met with an ex pression of mirth, although it was a grave and serious sub set. The Noble Lord hail only said Le had no knowledge of the fact. SoMe statement more satisfactory might have been ex pected from him. Lord CASTIENEACM explained. Ile could not possibly say more than he never heard of the eireumstance alluded to. The Utilise then divided on t he question. The numbers WM', For the Motion. • 125 Against it . l9l • Majority • __(j(9 Adjourned at ONE O'CLOCK this morning, . , BILIGHTON.—On. Monday night his MAJESTY opened the Royal Pavilion at Brighton with a grand ball and supper. Upwards of 200 distin guished personages were invited on the occasion ; and' in order to affoid every facility for the ar .rangement -of the apartments, his Majesty and company dined at five o'clock ; after which the dining-room and music-room, the only two rooms in the Royal Pailion that are completely finished and furnished, were prepared, and,• when lighted up, afforded a coup d'wil of the utmost rnag- nificence. The ball-room not being nearly-finish ed, a room denominated the yellow room, adjoining the music -room, but likewise in an unfinished state, was appropriated for dancing, and was brilliantly illuminated, and the floor elegantly chalked. The corridors and, ante chambers throughout the Royal Pavilion were likewise illuminated. At ten o'clock the company began t9-tarrive.,- and at eleven danc ing commenced wiii one of the new sets of quadrilles just brought over from Paris by Mess! s.

It is added, that the, King of NAPLES was with difficulty brought to consent to the march of the. Austrian troops ; and that since the adoption of hostile mea sures against Naples, the English Ambassador has delivered a note to Congress of such an important nature as to render necessary an extraordinary Meeting of the Ministers. The result of their deliberations has been submitted to the Emperors of AUSTRIA and RussiA.--In another column we have given copious extracts from the French Journals, since whatever relates to the political affairs of Nap - les cannot fail to be extremely im portant and interesting at the present momentous period.

NOvA SCOTIA AND NEW BRUNSWICIi..—A Bill is to be brought into Parliament to make perma nent the temporary Act of the 58th Geo. 3, c. 19, which allows the importation of certain articles into partiCular ports of these Provinces, in vessels of the countries of which .the arti cles are the growth or produce, or in British vessels, and a re-export of the same. EDUCATION.—Mr. BROUGHAM'S proposed Bill •" fur better providing the means of Education for his Majesty's Subjects” appears to be unpopular at Frome. A. _Meeting was held there on Thursday last, at which it was resolved to Peti, tion Parliament against the Bill, " as likely to be attended th very serious expence and inconvenience in this time of un exampled distress among the agricultural .and'inanufaeturing classes of the inhabitants of that town and parish.—The Mar quis of Bath will be requested. to present it to the House of Lords, and Wm. Dickenson, Esq., M. P. for the County .to the Douse of CoMmons.—To enforce the object of the Meeting it was stated that there are in the Parish of Frome not less than NINE Sunday Schools, containing upwards of Eleven Hundred Children,. besides two endowed Schools for educating Boys arid. Girls during the week, also many private Seminaries, in tvhich parents are willing to pay for the instruction -of their children. It was also observed, that in Manufacturing and Agricultural Districts it would not be possible for Masters to dispense with the service of the Children,lor Parents With their earnings, , un less they received an equivalent from the Parish; and that thus, while a large sum would be required to support the Institution, it must be inefficient and useless, or the Farmer and Manufac turer must - sustain an irreparable injury, and the Poor-rates (already so oppresive) must be considerably increased. TiTUE EAT4E.—We regret the want of - room to detail the merits of a new Tragedy, brought forward last night at Drury-lane Theatre, under the title of Conscience, or The Bridal Night.— The story is, • of a domestic nature, but circum stances of- a romantic character are introduced, which strengthen•its interest and excite the sym - - pathy of the audience in no-ordinary manner.— The sentiments .are natural, and such as may - be , supposed to arise from the Situations in which the characters are involved, and their consetitent feelings. There is great poetical beauty in the language, which is heightened by - metaphors, striking; but not affected, o,r too abundant. The acting throughout very ably supported the piece, and much . - praise is. due to WA LLACK, QOOPER, and INIrS.•W EST. BARNARD, FooTE, and Po wELL, ought also.to be noticed for the merit of their re spective performances. The •Manager, relying on the intrinsic merit of the piece, has not brought it forward with new scenery. 6. - :c.&.c.; but, as it has made so favourable an impression on the public. it -w:11 probably,receive such addition in its pro gress. The Tragedy - is attributed to a Gentle man named Ilayses, and is said to be his first dramatic effort. The highly - merited and warm applause of the audience-will probably encourage him to resume his elegant pen, and thereby add to the dramatic stores of the country. ARGYLL ROOMS.—Mr. ALEXANDR E, the cele- - brated Ventriloquist, whom we . Mentioned a few days ago, ekhibited his extraordinary talents last. night-in these Rooms. His imitations of different voices- in dialogues, "and of mechanical sounds, &c. &c.,. were really surprising.
