The country is now_ unfortunately labouring un dez-distresa, difficulties, and privations, which, from their na rc, almost all its thoughts, 'and almost every other eiderretion. The refieeting Bart of the community is worn iicWh hy a late paroxysm of political excitement, in which raigloSis feeling has been intimately mixed up, and which is caiy just beginning to siabside.

SQLe.I QUIS . DrCEILL FALSUM AUDEJT LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL s, 1821. The War between Austria and Naples ii ter urinated, and the Austrians entered the Neapo Titan capital on the 25th ult. Paris Papers o Sunday arrived this morning, announcing this telligence, and communicating some important documents relative to the counter-revolution in Piedmont. The following are Extracts : FOURTH BULLETIN OF THE AUSTRIAN ARMY. " Head-quarters at Team, March 20. 3, The grand army, after passing the Liri, at Ceprano, ad vanced rapidly on San Germano. General Caracosa had fallen back with his army iflt3 the entrenched position of Nignano, on the road to Capua. The same spirit which caused the dis persion of Gen. Pepe's army in the'Abruzzi manifested itself in a still more violent way hi the camp of Mignano. The troops, unwilling to fight for the insurgent cause, declared against their chiefs, who could only escape from the danger that threatened them by allowing the soldiers to disperse, and return to their homes, after laying down their arms. " The Neapolitan army no longer exists. The Royal Guard alone, faii•.hful to the sentiments which its name was calculated to produce, preserved order and discipline. " The forts of San Germano on the Monte Cassino sur rendered yesterday. The soldiers were compelled to surrender, with cries of Live the King " Cap la, one of the strongest bulwarks of the kingdom, opens its gates to-morrow. " To-morrow our advanced guard Will be at Versa. " The war h terminated. Our entrance into the capital will be that of an allied army. " What has been done at Naples was neither the wish of the people nor the army. This facts prove." CONVENTION BETWEEN THE AUSTRIAN'S AND NEAPOLITANS. " The undersigned, furnished with full powers for that pur pose, have agreed upcn the following articles : " 1. There shall be a suspension of hostilities on all the points of the kingdom. , "2. Hostilities shell also cease by sea, with as little delay as possible. Orders to this effe.ct shall be iintamliately dis. patched by the two armies. '""3. The Austrian army shall occupy Capua. To-morrow, the 21st, its posts shall occupy but notpass the town of Averts. "4. " The occupation of the town of Naples and its forts shall be the object of a particular convention. " 6. The Austrian Army shall respect persons and property, whatever may be the particular circumstances of each individual. " 6. All Royal property and property of the state existing in the provinces occupied by the Austrian Army, or which it may occupy ; all arsenals, magazines, parks, dock-yards, manufac tories of arms, &c., belong of right - to the Bing, and shall be respected as such. • " 7. In all the pizces and forts occupied by the Austrian army there shall be,inclependent of the Austrian. Commander, a Governor in the name of the King. Ail the' material' of war, in as far es rCipecti the administrative part, shall be under the royal administrative directions. "8.

" Mrhen we accept. the difficult functions of Prince Regent, it was only done to give protifs - of our entire - obedience to the King, and the ardent desire -With which we arc animated for the public: gcod, which .did not permit us to refuse the reins of state confided to us fur the moment to prevent its falling into anarchy, the greatest of al/ evils that can afflict a nation. But otir first Solemn oaeh has been that of fidelity to our well.beloved Charles Felix. - "•.A.s a pledgi Of 'the firnmc.S.3 with which we maintain the faith we htve sworn, we have'quitt the capital with the troops which follow us ; and having arrived here, we declare openly that., re,nottncing the ahceve-nained functions of Prince R4ent, we hate no desire remaining hut to show ourselves the fist in 'the path of honour which our august Sovereign points out to us, and to set the example; once and for ever, of the most respect. ful obedience to the will of the Sovereign. ' " CIARLES ALBERT.. " Given Novara, March 23; 1a21." PROCLAMATION. • " Majesty Charles Felix, on whqm, after the ai4icati= of Afit;t:ity, V it:tor Ethmanna, E. uthority Las devolved, has commandAi me to unite his faithful troops into one army, and to assume the-thief comthand. - ' " Already his Royal Highness the Prince of CarignanO, giv ing the first example of obedience to the sovereign will; and of fiedelity to the Throne, has repaired to Novara, followed by two regiments of cavalry, and:one - battery of artillery, which he has conducted hither from the capital. -" All those whb are not blinded by deceitful illusions will applaud this example, aware that our firm re-union around the Throne of our'liings is the sole way to safety which remains to us, to avoid the calamities with which our dear country is menaced ; of which that of seeing it occupied by foreign troops is not one of the least disastrous. " Piedmontese ! I feel proud at having been s2lected for this undertaking, for which I prepare myself with confidence, be cause I know that )ou are loyal, and animated like myself by the love of our country. Let us restore to our beautiful country that tranquillity which a handful of ill judging individuals, impelled by unbridled ambition and insolent folly, have essayed to deprive us of, in wishing to make us lose the reputation of fidelity to the august house of Savoy--a reputation which, dur ing eight centuries, has formed our most valued possesSion.

His voice alone is that which you are to follow ; any other will Plunge you into mourning and desolation. Live the Bing! " Given at Novari;2ltl March, 1821. , " DE LATOI3II, G en.aal-m-Chid." PROCLAMATION. " Piedmontese warriors !. None of you are ignorant of extraordinary vicissitudes under which the country groans. Our misfortunes are already very great. Those ivhith menace, us are still' greater. It has been attempted to introduce into our country a form of Government reprehended by three powerful Monarchs, and their victorious armies will immediately ad vance from Naples to overthrow us and to swallow us up. " Whilst the disturbers of order placed the country in this great danger, they employed, besides, different modes of seduc tion to overthrow all military discipline, in stirring up the sol diers by gifts, promises, and saditious discourses, thus renerering them incapable to our defence, whilst calling up against us in numerable enemies. In this state of things all hope appeared for ever lost, but Divine Providence had conducted into a place of liberty and security a Prince of Savoy, to whom the crown belongs by a legitimate right. 4 ' Charles Felix has spoken ; he has pointed out to every sol dier and to every subject the path of duty and honour ; he has conferred on me the Supreme command of the army ; helpro mises reward like a king all those who, with me, labour for the re-establishment of peace and tranquillity in these countries not long ago so happy. " But in the mean time, he will treat as rebels those dis turbers who, through obstinacy, continue to call down upon us the inevitable misfortune of a foreign invasion. Faithful to that which is required of me by the most sacred of dutici, I announce to you the orders and the promise of the Sovereign. Already, in the midst of us, the Prince of Carig nano offers the example of obedience. Followed by faithful re giments, he has come hither to assist in the common safety. " Brave warriors ! faithful subjects of every rank and of every estate ! Rally under the sacred standard of your King.—. Sustain my efforts. Manifest but one heart and one Spirit. It is thus you will save the country from the dang.::rs that menace her. It is thus you will preserve this ancient kingdom and your ancient glory ; and it is thus that you will present to your most distant posterity an example of fidelity, of worth, and of the true love of your country. " DE LATOUR, Gam:al-In-Chief. " At Novara, March 23, 1821." " TURIN, MARCH 26. (PRIVATE LETTER.) " General Santa Rosa has tried to calm the eTervescence which prevails by publishing an order of the day. But his Proclamation, which has sophistry for its basis, can deceive no one. Notwithstanding the efforts made by some persons to prevint the truth from reaching Turin, we are not blind to our dreadful situation ; and the sound majority of the inhabitants of this city see no safety except in a prompt return to the ancient order of things. Whatever General Santa Rosa may say, the Duke of Genevois has freely spoken hi mind in the Proclama tion he addrested to the Piedlrsontese. " Threats are now employed to prevent the disclosure of our real sontiments, and the citadel 6 made an instrument of ter. ror. The troops in it could not be much relied on ; and it has been thought advisable.to intrust it to the guardianship of some hundreds of students returned from Alexandria: But what are the means resorted to ? and is it supposed that those young Men will participate in the massacre of their relations and friends ? " The report is circulated to-day that the Prince of Carig nano is wandering about with a few soldiers in the plains of Piedmont ; that he first approached Verceil, and afterwards proceeded to the other aide. A great part of his troops are said to have abandoned him : while it is known with certainty that this Prince is at Novara, where he waits for further orders from the Duke of Genevois. Not a single soldier has deserted him. " We know not what h4ts become of the Prince of Cisterns, and two or three other personages who have played parts in the insurrection. " It k now ascertained that the letters announcing victories of the Neapolitan army, and studiously circulated, were fa bricated in the house or banker in this city.".---(GestETTE DE FRANCE.) " PARIS, Amu, 1. " A telegraphic dispatch .announces that the Austrians en tared Naples on the 26th. " It is reported that the Prince of Cisterns has passed thro` Geneva. Some Journals suppose he is charged with an irn- Portant mission ; but we believe that he has left Turin for a very different rerson. " The King of England will this year visit his kingdom of Ilanover. That country has not enjoyed such an advantage since 1755. 4 " March 31, 5 per Cent. Consols, 821 s 15 c. ; Bank Actions, 1507 f. 50 c." The successful progrep of Mr. PLUNKETT'S Bills for the restoration of POPERY, through the House of Commons, must he deeply distressing to every friend to the Purest of Religions, and the best of Political Constitutions.---fn fact, those Bills are pregnant with the total ruin of our present Establishment in Church and State. It has been constantly asserted by the Opposition that Mi- nisters have too much influence in -the House of Commons, and that they, at all times, have the power of securing venal majorities. If this asser tion were well-founded, the inference would be that Ministers Are iodiffereut to the security of the Constitution, for othirwise they would exert • their Power in its defence.' The truth is that these are itreligions times, that a deluge of sedition and blasphemy has corrupted the pub lic press, that the minds of men have been ren dered regardless of every thing but their tempo rary interests, and are too much disposed to think that " sufficient for the day is the evil thereof." But we do not yet despair. We trust that a dif ferent fate will attend these alarming, we might say these pernicious Bills, in the house of Lords. The members of that house have a permanent interest in the security of our present political and eccle siastical establishment, and therefore may be ex pected to be more alive to any dangers that may assail it. The House of Commons is a fleeting and a casual body, and the very passing of the Pills in question is a proof that some reform is necessary to improve the representation of the people at large. But even supposing it were possible that the. Bills should proceed through the Upper House with equal success, yet we trust that the true friends of the country will rely on a Monarch who knows the sentitnents, the principles, and' the determinations of his late revered father, and will resolutely follow his path.—Our late excellent Monarch was firmly devoted to the Constitution in Church and State. He felt the most awful conviction of the force and sanctity of the CORONATION OATH, that solemn compact between the Sovereign and the People, and we ate persuaded that his august Successor will not be less resolute in guarding the Constitution from a Popish As cendancy, which, if remotely, would cer-, tainly produce all the horrors of a Civil War, and finally reduce this free and happy cowl , - try to a slavish vassalage under a Power who holds his religious Creed to be infallible, and deems it an essential - duty, in order to secure salvation hereafter, to iacritice all who presume to differ from it in the slight-est degree. DOVIR, APRIL 2, 6 P.M.—An Express has this moment arrived at Dover, Which states that the war between Austria and Naples has entirely ceased. A Convention, it is stated, has boen signed, which is the cause of the cessation of Hop-DUTY.--It will be seen by the following communication that the Lords .of the Treasury have 'been .pleased to suspend .the pay ment of the Hop Dnty, due on the growth of the , last year, upon the same conditions as on for mer years:— " Treasury: Chambers, March 27, 182 k " Sin—The Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury having had under their consideration a Memorial from the Hop Planters of the County of Kent, requesting that further time may be allowed for the payment the Duties due from them ; I have it in command to acquaint you, for the information of the parties concerned, it appears to my Lords that the reasons which induced this Board to grant the indulgence in question last Session, exist; in equal force, at the present moment—their Lordships have therefore been pleased to authorise the Corn. missioners of Excise to allow the same time for the payment of the Hop Duty this season on the like conditions. • .1 am, Sir, &c.&c.

Parker, Esq. 7 The SPEAEER'S last Parliamentary Levee for the present Session, will be on Saturday next, the 7th instant. • We are happy to say the Duchess of GLOU CESTER'S cold was much better yesterday. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE rode out in their carriage, and visited the Duchess of KENT and the Princess Sopuii. On Sunday and yesterday, the Princess Au . . GUST A. dined with the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE. Last night the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE and the Princess AUGUSTA honoured Drury-Lane Theatre with their presence. Their Royal High nesses sat in the KING'S box. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.--Captain FREDERICK FIT - CLARENcE, son of his Royal Highness the Duke of CEA ' RENCE, will shortly lead to the hymeneal altar Lady Au- OtsTA BOYLE, daughter of the Earl of G t e tsnow. We have received a letter from the Earl of FIFE, in which his Lordship angrily complains of our having said, that he paid a visit to Brandenburgh House, and absented himself from the KING'S Drawing Room. If we had said any thing of the kind, and found that we were incorrect, we should certainly hare rectified our error. But there is none to rectify. It was of ; Earl GREY we spoke wh e n we m en tion e d th e visit to Bran denburgh House, and the absence from the Drawing Room ; not of the Earl of FIFE. - His Lordship will discover this, if he takes the trouble to read the paragraph a second Lime.— (Courier.) •,, SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. ELLISTON.—It IS %VIED pain we have tO"tecord another and a very melancholy instance of the uncertainty of , human exietenee. Mrs., Et las T 0 al, the wife of Mr. ELLISTON, 'of Drury-lane Theatre, retired to rest, in Stratford-place, on Saturday night last, at her usual hour, in better apparent health than' she had enjoyed for some time past. She bad not been in bed long , when she was at tacked by an hysteric affection, to which, during the last two years, she had been subject, and Wminutes she was nurnore. Mrs.' ELLISTON was well known in the most respectable circles ' in London, Bath,' Leamington, and elsewhere ; and known only to be admired and beloved; she was not more remarkable for her personal accomplishments, than for the 'rare and exemplary excellence of her private character. Her age was 46. She had been married to L. Eatrwrox four and twenty years, and had borne him ten children, of whom nine are living. Mr. EatisTosr, after officiating at the Drurp-Lane Theatrical Fund Dinner, at Freemasons' Hall, or. Friday evening last, returned to' Mrs. ELLISTON' in Stratford-place, and set off On Saturday morning, at five o'clock, for Leamington, to attend a trial at the 'Warwick Assizes. He had not the consolation, therefore, of being with Mrs. ELLISTON in her last moments. He was sent for express, and reached home, with his eldest son, in great affliction, at an early hour yesterday morning. CDATTERLEY, the Comedian, late of the Bath Theatre and 4 English Opera House, who went down to perfmui at the Lynn Theatre a short time ago, died there last week. His health had long been in a declining state. He was formerly the cele brated performer of juvenile characters at Drury-lane Theatre. The accounts from Parise of the death of Madame FODOR, are contradicted by letters received yesterday.
