We received Paris Papers this day of the 18th al lds 1 9th inst., the contents of which are highly in teresting., and will be found in other columns of mar Paper. The following are additional particulars : 44 PARIS, MARCH 19.—Commercial Couriers arrived from Naples, bring news of the 6th and 7 th of March. The most perfect tranquillity pre►ails in the Capital, and in the whole King -40r2, notwithstanding the departure of the troops for the frontiers. Naples, with the exception of the forts, is protected' by the inhabitants, who are formed into a civic - guard. This corps, com- Poged of the flower of the citizens of that city, distinguished by its flue appearance, its exact *egg in the performance of its duty, and its at tachin-eut to the dynasty of the Bourbons and to the Constitutional Goveinment. It had desired to march to the frontiers to make the campaign with the army, but the Parliament would not cenisqnt to the departure of a corps so necessary to the preservation of order and tranquillity. The civic guard consists of 16,000 men, divided into fo!sr regiments of infantry and two of cavalry. • Cc. The Geridermerie, also a civic corps corn- Posed - of the flower of the Army, consists of 4 000 foot and 2000 horse. This corps also of fered to join tile army,.but the Government do assuring the Commander, that his brave total ' el l 'should be employed in case of need.— T he many demands of this nature shew the spirit I ,, ll '' t animates the whole Neapolitan people.

We learn that they yesterday attacked the Convent of Nuns at Santa Fay, and stripped it of every thing va luable, to the amount of 5000 piastres. if this is done in the vicinity of a town which, besides its garrison, has a national militia respectabi for its number and discipline, whatmay we not ex pect in other parts, where this wise and vigorous measure of the Government is not yet in activity ?" Twelve o'Clock.—The Stock Market continues in a very unsettled state. Yesterday afternoon Consols for the account left off 701-.---The debate on the Malt Tax, issuing in leave to bring in a Bill to abolish so material a part of the revenue, caused the market to open this morning at 694, and business was done at 698—but the market as suddenly recovered, and the price now is 70 to 70-1. As our Religious and Political Establishments are vitally united, we most earnestly exhort the true friends of that Constitution upon which they are founded, to be upon the alert on the subject of the CATHOLIC QUESTION, and we par ticularly entreat all the Members of Parliament who are adverse to the Claims of Popery to con cessions not connected with their religious faith and worship, to attend their duty to-morrow. — We trust that the Country is roused by the temporary triumph of Mr. PLUNKETT; and that the Clergy and the Laity will strenuously exert themselves on an occasion upon which the future freedom and happiness of this Country- essentially depend. We entertain no fears that the Bills brought forward by that Gentleman will pass the House of Lords, but we are anxious that the Representatives of the People in the Mouse of Commons should settle the question by a decision against further conces sions, as such a decision may be considered as ex pressive of tl►e General Voice of- the Nation. —Let no Member of Parliament be absent under the notion that the discussion may be adjourned, but come resolutely forward in sup port of all that is dear to us as a free people. The Protestants of Ireland, with very few ex ceptions, are waiting with the utmost solicitude and alarm the fate of Mr. PLUNKETT'S Bills, considering them as pregnant with eventual ruin to our present Establishment in Church and State. TIMBER DUTIES.—In recalling the attention of our readers to this subject, and presenting them with the Sup plement (No. III.) of the evidence, we are led, to notice the altered tone of the advocates of the new system. Last year their grand argument for this system, which is to destroy our Colonial trade, and to enrich foreigners and a few speculators at home, was the bad quality of the transatlantic timber, and its comparative inefficiency for home consumption. Now, we find them acknowledging, in their own report, and forced by the evidence of their own witnesses to do so, that much pre judice exists against American timber, and that when used in America, IT IS ruEz FROM DRY ROT," and of a " du " rability equal to that of the best, timber in Europe."— But what has the cause of common sense and of rational patriotism gained by this admission ? Literally nothing. For the proposed increase of duties in one instance, and the re duction of them in the other, are now as vehemently, and with more specious plausibility, urged on account of the useful qua lities of our Colonial Timber, as before they were recommended because of its alleged inferiority ! We shall only add, at pre sent, that as the Report, whilst acknowledging the general good ness of -transatlantic timber for most home purposes, and its being INDISPENsAnLu for masts both to ships of war, and merchantmen, also admits, that the consideration of mere cheap ness would cast the balance in its favour ; so, therefore, it clearly appears, that whatever aff.lcts cheapness must so far be a national loss, and a loss for which the Country can receive no compensation, as it is a loss which cannot be shewn to have the least tendency to promote the particular interests of any one class of the community, but mealy a few speculators at, home connected with Northern Europe. The Duke and Duchess of CUMLMILL AND are expected to retur❑ to England from Germany, in the course of the present spring. The Quxux does net, we understand, go to the Drawing Room to-day ; but a Lady is to go there'from her MAJE . STY, for the purpose of pre 7 seraing a Petition to the ,K IN 0.--L(Morning Chronicle.) Yesterday the QUEEN addressed a, letter- to the Earl of LIVERPOOL, containing a Petition to his MAJESTY to allow her to be publicly prayed for by the Clergy of the Established Church. Her MAJESTY, it is said, adds, that this is the only request she has to make.—(The Times.) LIBEL ON THE QUEEN.—After the Judges came from the Cathedral of Exeter, Sir J. Butt aouou repaired. to tbsi Guildhall, when tho trial of Mr. Thomas Flinrlell, Editor of The Western Luminary, for a libel on her Majesty, was pro ceeded on; and after occupying about two h9urs, the Jury pronounced a verdicCof Guilty. HIGHLAND SOCIETY - of LONDON.—The Second General Court of this Corporation for the pre sent year, was held yesterday at the Freemason's Tavern, and the Members afterwards adjourned to the Hall, to celebrate the Anniversary of the Battle of Alexandria. His Royal Highness the Duke of To was in the Chair, supported on his right by the Prince of SATE CouoLiao, and on his left by the Duke of ARGYLE. The Alfeeting, went off vrith the greatest spirit and eclat, but we must postpone our account of it till to-mor row, from the press of important matter which is now before us. A. new bridge is about to be thrown over 'the river Teign, from Teignmouth to Sheldon, oppo site Mr. Sergeant PRAED'i gardens, to commence on the Teignmonth side to the beach in front of the garden wall of Lord Exmouni. . , PAPERS: P4RIS, MARCH 19• Private-accounts from Naples ariatirtoe'tha: tho preparations for defence are going : on with redoubled activity- Fresh troops march daily to.the frontiers. Tiiz.t garrison of Palermo, and other troops drafted from Sicily, on being landed at Naples were immediately marched towarda Fondi. El Guerrieiv, a Spanish ship of the line, and the Perla frigate, which have sailed from Cartba gena,, and escort a considerable flotilla, are every moment expected at Naples. TURIN, ZclA.P.ca 14: The following is the latest intelligence with respect to the operations which have recently taken place in this kingdom : , " On the 11th the King puhlisheda proclama tion, in which he deplored the defection Of the garrison of Alexandria, and announced his Con , fidence in the fidelity of his people and of the regiments of Turin. The troops of the capital, in fact, not only appeared to dismiss all thoughts of insurrection, but uttered cries of " Vive Roi," with the exception of 300 men who had hoisted the flag of independence in the citadel. It appears that this beginning of revolt in the garrison took place on the spreading of the news that the troops of Alexandri were marching on the capital. ' The people remained wholly tranquil, and took no part in this move ment. " In the evening of the 12th, the King, at the conclusion of a Council, which was held on the arrival of his Minister for Foreign Affairs, took the resolution of abdicating, and of transmitting the Crown to his brother, the Duke de Gene vois.,But this Prince being at that time on his journey towards Modena, whither he was going to meet the King of Naples, his father-iu-law, the provisional exercise or the scwereigu authority was confided to Prince Carignaao, under the title.of Regent. " Within an hour after this resolution was taken by his Majesty, an official notification of the event was communicated to the Foreign Mieis ters resident at Turin. A longer time elapsed before it was made known to the people and the army. " During the whole of the 13th and part or this day the Court of the Royal Palace was filed with the equipages of the Royal Family engaged for their conveyance. Their Majesties the King and Queen have announced their intention of re tiring to Nice antil the provision to be made for them shall bo determined. The King and Queen took leave this morning of the Prince de Carig nano. He requested permission to follow them ; but the King commanded him to remain at Turin, to maintain the public tranquillity. " The following Proclamations were issued here on the 12th and 13th : " PROCLAMATION OP VIE KING. " Victor Emmanuel, by the Grace of God, King of Sardinia, &c. Since the day it has pleased God to recall us to the govern ment of our Continental dominions, all our care ha► been di rected to confer on our subjects instances of our paternal regard. " We have endeavoured, above all, to cherish among them the spirit of union and concord, and to banish both animosities and every species of party spirit. " The sentiments of our subjects have been reciprocal to our own ; and it is to them, as well as to us, that the circumstance is owing, to the admiration of all Europe, that in the midst of the troubles which have agitated our States, the most perfect tranquillity up to the present period, has been preserved in our faithful provinces. " Since our return, also, we have felt pleasure in distinguish ing our military subjects by particular marks of affection—a distinction which was returned on their part by unequivocal proofs of.union and fidelity. " But at the present moment, while our provinces and-our army in general have preserved the line of duty, certain mili tary bands, deaf to our former gracious instances of regard, per sisting in their disobedience, have abandoned their Officers, and have shut themselves up in the fortress of Alexandria. " We perceive with inexpressible grief the danger to which the obduracy of these individuals exposes not only the tran quillity but even the independence of the country. " At this Moment, when we place our person and our cause in the hands of Divine Providence—at this moment, when we recommend our person and our cause .to the firmness of our faithful subjects, our conscience and our paternal affection oblige us to declarz— " Tbat by a recent and unanimous deliberation, the Great Powers, our Allies, have reSolVed, that in no case whatever shall any act tending to subvert the political and legitimate order in Europe be approved, and still less be supported, by any of them. " That, on the contrary, the three PONfere, Austr.ia, Russia, and Prussia, will revenge by an armed force every attempt which shall be opposed to the preservation of this order. - - " In this state of things, determined and firmly resolved as we are, not to permit nor to recognise, and yet more not to co operate in any act which may give rise to foreign invasion ; con stant, to the principle of employing every means for sparing the blood of our beloved subjects, we open here our whole mind, and give at the same time an alleviation to our grief, in making known to all in • the face of Europe, that the entire blame will rest upon the disturbers of legitimate order, if ever any other army than our own shall show itself in the interior of our States, or if ever—the. thought of which afflicts us most deeply—the scourge of civil discord shall visit our people, whom we ever have and ever Shall cherish' as part of our own family. . • " Given at Turin, March 12, ,1821.

" We make known that his Majesty, King ViefOr Emma- nuel, in abdicating the drown, has conferred hilt Mole 'city upon us, with the title of Regent. " We invoke the liivine assistance; and, in ennoimeirig that we will to-morrow manifest ottr intentions conformably b the general wish, we desire, in the meantime, • that every bnstility shall immediately cease, and that no provocation to fresh hoi tility may take place, " Doubtless we have no occasion to order that his Majesty ; with his Royal Consort and his fainily,.and all their suite; shall have the liberty to travel and to sojourn in any part of the con tinental dominions that he may please to visit, and shall every where experience that deep veneration which, norresponds with the sentiments of gratitudeand love which are imprinted in the hearts of all his subjects, which are so justly due to, him for his virtues and for the re=establishment and aggrandizenient of this Monarchy. ;•.• " We rely for the preservation of good order and public tran quillity, en the zeal of all the Magistrates, Civil and Military Officers, and of all the Corporations of Towns and Communci.

It is rcrport?d that the new Sovereign of Ilessz interulo to give immediately a Constitution to his dominions, modelled on that of Bavaria. . • • (EXTRACTS FROM PRIVATE LET TEES.) The correspondence with Naples has as yet experienced ná interruption, The last letters from that country, which ars to the 26th of February, contain the following details : . " Naples is entirely ,stripped of troops. The corps which were still there at that date have now marched to join the army; but instead of advancing on the Garigliano, they have proceeded towards the Abruzzi. Other troops have also taken the same route. The division of Ambrosio is gone to Celano. The infantry regiment of the crown was the last that left Naples. The organization of the free corps continues with unexampled activity. They march as soon as they are formed to the fron- - tiers. All the posts at Naples are 7 occupied by the civic guard, which, under the present circumstances, shows the greatest zeal for the maintenance of order. Government has also taken measures for the preservation of tranquillity in the provinces. " The rise of provisions continues, because considerable pur chases have been made for the army ; and also because the greater part of the inhabitants of Naples have thought proper to lay in a supply of provisions. We have successively receiv ed in this capital 16 cargoes of corn, which had been shipped at Genoa with the consent of the Piedmontese Government. " A considerable quantity of arms and munitions of war, dis patched from different foreign ports, has also arrived hare. " We every moment expect the arrival of 10,000 troops of the line, for whom 'a fleet has been sent to Sicily. " P. S.—lt is this moment reported that a very warm affair has taken place between the Austrian and Neapolitan troops, in the neighbourhood of Rieti. No particulars of the result are given." VIENNA, MAnco 8. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.) Since it has appeared certain that the chiefs of the ruling party at Naples have resolved on defending themselves to the last extremity, new movements are observed among the troops stationed in the interior of Austria and of Hungary. Con siderable bodies are even setting out for Italy for the purpose of forming echelons of communication between Lombardy and, the army of General Frimont. This General must have re nounced the imitation of Gen. Bianchi, who, in 1815, penetrated rapidly by the rout of Terracina upon iqaples, because he felt as sured of the support of a great party among the Neapolitans ; but One battle gained In the Abruzzi will prove more decisive than a hazard9us march; for, even supposing that it does not immediately open the road to the capital, it will bring the Aus st,rians near to the great plains of Puglia, where it wilibe in communication with the ports of Austria, Dalmatia, and Ra gusa. It is also probable, there being nothing to fear from the Neapolitan navy, that the Austrian General may draw succours from/Hungary by these ports. Pescara once passed or taken, there is not a single city from thence to the Gulf of Tarcntuni that can possibly stand a siege. The fortresses of Ancona, of Camachio, of Ferrara, and of Mantua, filled with depots of provisions and artillery of reserve, form so connected a line, that it is scarcely possible the commu nications between Austria and the army acting against Naples should experience any serious difficulty, even if the Carbonari attempt to realize their threat of an insurrection in the rear of that army ; but, hitherto, neither the Roman States nor the Tuscans manifest an? hostile disposition towards our troops. MADRID, MAncm 10. We learn from Cadiz that the guarding of the prisoners con fined in the depot of ?t. Ferdinand, on the charge of being. the actors, in the affair of the 10th of March, re quire such measures of security, that the political Chief has thought •it 'his duty to call in farther troops to reinforce the already numerous corps employed on this service. A train of artillery surrounds the fortress, and renders_ all coin., munication with the prisoners impossible. The spirit of fer mentation which .prevails among some of the officers of the guard ; and a letter of Gen. Campana, the principal of the ac cused, which has been intercepted, appear to have caused this new resointion on the part of the political Chief. (PRIVATE CORREAPO'NITEIZCE.)--041' situation begins to change. The new ministers having manifested an intention to strengthen the Royal authority, this determination has had an extraordinary influence on the tone of our journals and the language of our orators. A great part of the deputir, how ever—those who are intimately connected with the dismissed ministers—persist in making charges against the King, in the public sittings.. Persons who judgq without prejudice per- Ceive, nevertheless, a model of prudence, and moderation in the conduct of the King. The secret sittings of the Cortes (and they take piece at present every day), are extremely stormy. In that of the day before yesterday M. Zapata pro posed that no reply should ever be given to confidential com munications from the Kirg, end that no document coming from his Majesty should ever be read in the Cortes, unlesi counter= signed by one of his ministers. A very ♦iolent discussion follow ed; but the motion was supported by only fourteen votes, among which Was that of Torreno. The conjectures respecting the real author of the King's speech are endless.
