It is remarkable, that the Au strians advance slowly, and with gradual con centration of forte. An opinion prevails, among well informed persons, that the Neapolitans have lopes beyond their ostensible resources, either from . the Peninsula of Spain and Portugal, or from an. insurrection throughout a great part of hely. They .certainly could have retreated, having made terms ; with Austria, if hopeless of defending ,the new system. [ -British Press.] From the rapid and continued advance of the Austrian army towards the frontiers of Naples, and the equally determined spirit or the Neapo litans to offer the invaders resistance, it is pro bable •that the next accounts from Italy will tell cf the commencement of hostilities. For the in: telli4ence of this great event we look with feel flgs of the most painful anxiety. We trust i n Cr'od that th e cause of irtue, justice, and pa trliltism, will prove victorious. ['New Times.] • • .A vast number of Documents from Naples, and ti .neighbouring States, has reached this coun try : from all which it is manifest that the Rebels are in a state of 'the utmost confusion. Their _pretended- Parliament has decided on war, with out either an Army or a Treasury. That impu dent-fiction- of The Times—die army of a Hun dred and Fifty-seven Thousand men—has vanish ed into.air : and we are aow told that " in con srluence of the imperfect state in which not or; . ly the . eghipment of the Militia is, but eve, _ . •_ . . th 9 whole, materiel .of the Army, a majority of voices was in favour of the defensive sys tem:"—r;The first plan was,to seize upon Rome— fire se:ond was not to budge from Naples --and the . third is to fly to the mountains of Calabria! The Chiefs are quarrelling with each other.- -.l 3 elat,'who first headed the Rebels, and was' of 'course appointed Commander-in-Chief, has been forced to submit to the ascendancy of Fitangieri, :who is avowedly unfavourable to the Spanish Constitution so madly imposed upon Naples.— • The modes adopted to replenish the Treasury am perfectly revolutionary ; a forced loan of Three Nlillions of Ducats (hear this, ye Trades men of the Borough and of Westminster !) is to be levied on the industry, trade, and funded property of the City of Naples—Moveable Di- Nisicns are dispatched to levy contributions by force on the Island of Sicily. The Ladies Wei their ear-rings (as the Parisian Refoimers of 17S0 did their shoe-buckles):—And the Carbo nari, on their part, have begun to exercise the distinctive energy of their sect by a savage and cowardly assassination! • [Mornin.. Otronick.] The statement brought forward lit the House of Commons last night, will be examined with the deepest attention by all who desire to make themselves acquainted with our real situation, —How much more clear and intelligible is this to the Accounts, laid on the Table by Ministers ? From this we may see, not merely the necessity of retrenchment, but the means of effecting it. Every Landowner in the House, who, night after night, describes the utter ina bility of the Farmer to sustain the weight of the taxes that oppress Agriculture, may here find an effectual source of relief—for it is only by dimi n'shing the expenditure, that the nation can be relieved . frOm the most. bUrthensome of the taxes - without any violation of public -faith. If devo tion to Mi n i s t ers shall induce our Iternit - sentatiVes to abet the temporising system, merely because they see the Funds'advance under the speculation of a knotof.j.obbingcapitalists,whohave no interest In the perman , mt welfare of the country, because . they can cut and run when the evil day is approach ; 'ing, they AVil I sacrifice to misplaced confidence the sacred duty they owe to their constituents. With thiS view of the Finances before Our eyes, we must be blind to perceive• the gtilph that yawns for the fall of public credit.: Within the last, six months not less than eleven millions sterlin.- have been transferred from our Funds to ' foreign - securities, by persons who have already taken fright ; and it is not the enor mous speculation now going on in the Alley, for . the rise of prices, by means of continuation, that can stop • the alartrl whizti prevails among those whose whole fortunes are invested in Go vernment Stock.• It is quite true, as stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that the 'slightest breach of national faith, by the impo l 'sition of a stamp on Transfers, would spread such terror over the whole body, .that the rich would ruin, and the poor be ruined. But' the same result will fOilow from a continuance of the intolerable expense, with this - aggravation, that the first symptom of the catastrophe--.when the Bank Shall•ceaSe to• accommodate Government with a sum to make up the deficiency in the half year's receipt at the Exchequer, to pay the dividend, will be perceived by the quick-sighted Jews and Jobbers, who will leave the bOna fide holders. in the lurch. A really independent •Cerrirnittee Would make this' fatal issue. of Ministerial expe dients palpable to the meanest capacity. • plonzing Post] A Government must be singularly free from blpme, must aft with uncommon prudence, and even with consummate ability, when rio part of its own conduct, no main branch of its po icy, domestic or foreign, forms a topic of an- imadversion. Such is the situation in which t the Opposition have unwittingly placed the t Government of this country ; and slurring over, t or avoiding, and not daring to discuss any act 'of its own, they try to raise an outcry against it for the act of another Government. Such, ' however, is the course actually followed by the opponents of Ministers on the subject of Naples ; communicatedm:nfdlt:dravioie, and iiliAustriaioisigisiatrnisiuchald:iytulctisoltoias,tthiosee)trn they ieil btsrioonaa:essrrttrtos., oj m t:fcituyaioaa. 1 t aocuTi containingl rillenbil s umi,idhydi t aes, ieeesi cue b t:trvk ax ns e j bptllytaol 1 miserably professions; 0,. 1 lattere: optiljuel i t ihmtlfasolitoeedratuetirs: part oetlser saajyihiapysvubitoeraehr(esnli.fiteyltyeesyhel representing g.;sexde,iof deficient ti I:: uul.Nuluei expressed en v noncteanxsy a thtg: nstird n gieehr, rotaystehrcaeoi of Continental li o l yfesltaitc;d f hivincii 1 conduct ceoeectedeco u sidonnitnir b lrinletosiati j :ilue.yosbdrn e eeuiaral c eseatii ceini Ittitnitgart:eisseatooveenoerao.ognierd.rftll of party ; they have made no secret of their inten tions, but published them to the world as soon as an opportunity for justification presented itself. But, say their antagonists, why not produce the correspondence on the subject ? Because custom, and courtesy, and policy, are opposed to the pro duction of papers in a case of this kind. if Eng land was an immediate party in the transaction ; if she had been called upon to advance mo•iey, or to equip an army and fleet, or take any other active and responsible part in the business, it would be the duty of her Government to fur nish the required information. But such not being the case, it is not bound to make any disclosures ; and what ' would the Members of the Alliance, or any other foreign Power, say, if this country were to set the example of divulging communications, made under the solemn seal of confidence and secrecy,w ithou t the plea of imperi ous and paramount necessity ? Yet this reserve, which could not be violated without something like dishonour, has been twisted into a charge, or rather a cause of suspicion, that Ministers have been favouring, underhand, the meditated aggres sion against Naples. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. (From " The Lee.is Intelligencer, Mardi 5.") Our Headers will see, that the motion of Mr. PLUNKETT, for a Committee of Inquiry into the claims of the Catholics, was carried by a majority of six. This is a preliminary measure, which does not necessarily involve Concession ; and we hope the friends of the Protestant Establishment 'will come forward to petition against any further extension of fa vour to that class of his Majesty's subjects. No time must be lost in conveying their senti ments to the Legislature; when we doubt not they will receive consideration and respect. The question has been so often argued, that very little more can now be said upon the subject. We shall, however, recur 'to it, after we have seen the proceedings of the Committee. For the present, we must observe, that we . are friends to religions toleration in the most extensive sense of the word ; but we think with Mr. Pitt, that " toleration can by no means be con sidered as equality." And we also think with that illustrious Statesman, that " the necessity of a certain, permanent, and specific Church Esta blishment, renders it -essential, that toleration should not go to equality, which would endanger the establishment, and thence be no longer to leration." The QUEEN has appointed W. A. MADocKs, Esq„M.P. one of her MA.LESTY'S Vice-Chamber lains ; the saUry is 5001. a year.—(Cambrian.) FIRE.—An alarming fire broke out at Mott ley Lodge, near Colebrook, on Monday evening, the seat of Charles Holies Monk, Esq. which consumed the same and a valuable library: It was firs . t discovered at twclve o'clock, in the lower rooms, but how it originated is not known. The place was destroyed before assistance could be procured, and a youth of the name of Green shade had his thigh broke in escaping from the qpper.story to a contiguous building.

Paris Papers 'of Sunday lase reached us this morning, but they contain little additional intel ligence respecting the affairs of Naples. Private Letters - from Vienna state that all the columns of the Austrian Army would be re-united in the environs of Foligno on the 24th ult., and a strong advanced guard sent forward to ascertain the reception they are:likely to meet with in the beau tiful kingdom of Naples. None of the Milan Letters, or the Journals of Austrian Italy, received at Vienna on the 24th of last month, contain any accounts of the ulterior operations of . the Austrian Army from which silence, it is presumed the Austrians mean to take up their positions for the present in the Papal States, until the arrival of fresh .orders from the Aulic Council or the Austrian 31inister of War. • 'We learn from . Madrid, that the King of SPAIN-continues his usual promenades. On the 18th, he walked about the Prado in the midst of the people, who greeted his Majesty with unani mous cries of " Live the King." Madrid was perfectly quiet, but the news of the march of the Austrians towards Naples had made the Spanish Vales fall.from 78 to el per cent. discount. Accounts from Constantinople, of the 14th, mention, that se veral conferences have taken place between the Turkish Com missaries and BarOn STROGANOFF; the Russian Ambassador. The former demand the surrender of several Forti in Asia, which have been retained by Russia ; and the latter require that the inhabitants of Moldavia and 'Wallachia should beindemni fied for the extortions of their last Princes; who in seven years exacted GO millions of piastres from those Provinces, one half of which was deposited in :the Treasury of the Grand Seig nior. The troubles of Servia are at length quieted. The Porte has consented to most of the privileges solicited by the Sex. vian Deputies, who were supported in their demands by Russia. A Finnan of the Grand Seignior will shortly be published relative to these points, and Servia will in future be governed by a Greek Hospodar. It is expected this decision will induce the other Greek.- Provinces of the Ottoman Empire to petition against the extortions of the Turkish Agents ; and the predilection of Russia in favour of the Greeks is too well known to suppose she will allow any opportunity to escape of employing her good offices to ameliorate their condition. FRENCH FUNDS. Mardi 3.—Fire per Cents B5 1. 45 c. Bank Stods 1520 f. c. Fo FUMY TRADE.—The Lords' Committee have, we understand, adjourned its meetings until Monday next. The Select Committee of the House of Commons were to meet again this afternoon ; but as it is uncertain whether they will make their report to-morrow or on Monday next, we are mduced to resume this subject in consequence of the nume rous communications we have received upon it. We regret very much we arc again obliged to state, it is the general opi nion in the higher circles, that the Committee will ;recommend a duty of ten shillings per load to be imposed on British Ame rican Timber, and a reduction of • ten shillings per load in the present duties on Foreign Timber, with some alteration of the existing duties on deals; on what ground this abandonment of the wise and beneficial system, which was introduced by the Earl BATHURST and the late Mr. RosE is justified, we_ cannot conjecture, as we have not seen the evidence taken before this Committee ; for it is not to be supposed that the Committee Will venture on a recommendation of this nature, unless they are fully borne out and supported by it. But whatever may be the nature of that evidence, we are informed by persons of un doubted veracity, who have no interest whatever in this great question, that the effect of the proposed alteration will be ex tensively injurious to the general interests of the Country ; for it will compel the Ship Owners to quit the British North Ame rican Trade--that it will lessen the export of our own Manufac tures and produce to those Colonies, not only from the Mother Country, but from the West India blands—whilst it will, at the same time,• increase the price of wood in the North of Europe, and in' the English Market. The reduction of ten shillings per load from the present duties on Foreign Timber, is literally a boon to foreigners from, some political motive or another, and a sacrifice of part of our revenue for no earthly ad vantage whatever. Ntrherever we go, we hear but one opinion expressed of the infatuation which appears to influence at this time His Majesty's Government on this subject. Throughout the Maritime Counties a general depression and gloom is seen' from the apprehensions which are entertained that it' is the in tention of these Committees on Foreign Trade to recommend to the Legislature to repeal some of the most im portant provisions of the Navigation • Acts. The reports of these Committees, which have e.,em submitted to Parliament, warrant these apprehensions ; -but when they are strengthened by the unreserved communications.'andoPinions of the sup, Porters of :the advOcat;s : of a Free Trade, among whom,. are many individuals holding. official situations, it is not surprising. that these alarms are sogenerally felt at the Outports.—The serf- . 'timents expressed by -,these individuals are--that we have: too many • ships in the Merthant's service--that the trade of -the' country and its dependencies is nOt sufficiently extensive to em ploy them—that the effeet has been inju,rious, not only to Bii tish shipowners, but also to the owners of foreign vessels, which in consequence of it, arc in a great measure excluded from the trade of this country.—That it would be much more to the in terest of Great Britain to have fewer 'merchants' ships of her own; and that part of her trade should be carried on in foreign ves sels, as they would take with them a • greater quantity of our manufactures, and therefore an abandonment of the Navigation , system, to a certain extent, bei;omes necessary ; to prevent, however, asmuch as possible, any addition to the present depres sion of British shipowners, and to let them down easy as pos sible, it has been thrown out, that the contemplated changes in the good old policy of the country are, not to be immediate - ; but that a few years will be allowed the British shipoWners either to dispose of their vessels to foreigners or to break therri up, as cir cumstances may present themselves most favourable to them for that purpose! Nay, it is said, that °neeof the disciples of the New School,from motives of humanity,probably, to some ofhis younger constituents, who, are shipwrights, has recommended to the shipowners to break up their large ships of 400 or 500 tons bur then; and to use the materials in building vessels of smaller tonnage, which will enable them, as he conceives, to secure, at' . least, a small participation in the carrying trade of the Baltic - ; which is held out by the friends of the Northern Powers as a remote hope of employment for the British shipowner and Bri tish seaman, after a war of a <patina of a century, during which every` exertion has been Made by them to uphold and maintain the honour and glory of 'the country ; but we shall defer until another day our observations on the dreadful effect thcie new notions must have on the Maritime power of the Ernpire: In the interval we call upon the administration to reflect on these changes, which some_ of their friends do not hesitate to state are in contemplation !—To adopt measures so subversiVe of all sound Principles is appalling to reflecting minds ; for if ie fundamental principles of national policy are to be Over turned to gratify the speculative theories Of Modein licono.; mists, what security shall we have for an adherence to those 1 .gislative regulations; which hat;e hitherto protected the other great establishinents and interests of the nation. 'We are to look to these dreadful innovations on the Maritime Interests as only part of the system which Mr. BROuGH ,Ar, and the disciples of that school, intend to introduce. After the Shipowners are dis,- posed of, the Agricultural Interest must of necessity follow .; for under what circumstances can the restrictive regulations as to corn, and the duties on foreign cheese,&c. be adhered to,when tie former interests arc levelled at the feet of modern liberality ? We shall then find the Party attempting to , storm the citadel, and all the venerable institudons . for learning and charitable uses' converted topurposes never contemplated by their founders, and, in,the end, the Constitution in Church and State will fall into the hands of the Universalists, who, like the citizens of another hemisphere,. may change their religion as it suits their convenience, or, perhaps, profess none at all.— We have been induced to offer these remarks from the anxiety .". _ _ • which is, at this time, felt by a most valuable body of men, whose establishments and property are essentially neeessary to the existence of the Maritime Power of the Country: It is, howoier, necessary to return to the question of the timber duties, and to submit to tile dispassionate consideration of the Publie, the following observations and statements which have been sent to us by an intelligent and respectable Correspondent, and which place in a cl2ar point of view the injury that will arise from reducing the duty on Foreign wood, and imposing a heavy duty on Colonial timber : " sth March, 1021.
