" The torpsid Royal Carabineers, tbough'ipparently melt le4in t4elaerformance of its usual duties, had given just causes 'r mistrust, not only because their Chiefs would not submit to controul of-the Minister of the Interior, to whom had been k i W tg9ed the former authority of the Minister of Police, but bees.use,they refused to obey the orders of the 'Minister of W. ar, and were pursuing, in the capital itself, a course of con-' &tact of an extraordinary, mysterious, and inexplicable nature. ' " This m orn i ng it 'was reported that th ese troops. were to cave the, town without :mentioning their destination ; it was announced their Colonel:bad-already taken his departure; and, 4 8 durin g the day they remained shut up in their barracks, these r eports seemed to have some 'foundation. " On the.other hand, it was stated that dissensions prevailed in this corps, and thatthe greatest tumults were to be dreaded, w hich might endanger the security of the town. " Under these oircunistances the Minister of War deemed it Prudent to collect an armed force strong enough to guard f.tgainst the ev il s which threatened us, and two battalions of the Br igade of Alessa N uare ndria were by hi s order stationed on th e 'Castello. . A great number a Carabineers passed through the streets in small parties without opposition, and quitted the city In the mg, with what design we know not ,but very prudently a Party of the Royal Horse Carabineers. returned into the town, and sword •n hand galloped towards the square, occupied by Ithariehas.oldnieresnceof, A_lessandria, who remained steady in their e,-raral movement of defence on the part of the latter.

" TURIN, APRIL 3.—A Courier, dispatched from Turin on the 13th of Murch, arrived on the 21st at . Madrid with the news of the events in Piedmont. " The Spanish Charge d'Affaires here re• ceived yesterday a despatch from his Govern ment, with an account of the great joy tnani fested at Madrid on the , receipt of our Revolu. tion, and of the public demonstrations of joy or. dered inconsequence. " On Saturday we had the pleasure of seeing the fine brigade of Alexandria arrive from Savoy : its devotion to the constitutional system is above all praise. It was reviewed by General Count Lisio, who expressed his particular satis faction at its discipline and patriotism. The briga.de afterwards formed a square, and utter e d unanimous and joyf u l cries of Long live the King ! Long live the Constitution !' which Were re-echoed with enthusiasm by the surrounding multitude: T he city was illuminated ,for two successive evenings, us honour - of the arrival of this corps. " The brigade, of Savoy has left this city to return horne, leaving behind a grateful remem 7 brance of the services it has performed in this capital. Count Santa Rosa issued to them an Order of the Day, in the French language, of which the following is the conclusion :-- " C On yourxeturn to Savoy you will learn the Wishes of your.families, you will hear the univ.er sal joy,of.all, honest men, moved by . a just wish for those institutions which, tempering_ the abso lute power, of , ,K,ings, insure , the happiness of the people. If your fellow-citizens ask news of us, tell them it is but too true that the Piedmontese Army is divided into two camps, one at Novara, and one at. Alexandria ; but tell them also that the sacred necessity of defending the country will soon unite them, and swear in one name. that 'no Piedmontese will ever be guilty of so great a fault as to give aid to the foreigner who shall tempt to invade the country. " ' Savoyards, adieu! The Piedmonteie love you, esteem and respect you.' " TURIN, APRIL 1, 1821.—Count Pavia de Scondelazze, Captain of the Cavalry of Savoy, at Savigliano, has addressed a most impressive dis course to his comrades at Novara, breathing the purest sentiments of loyalty to the Royal Family, of national independence and moderation. "The Provisional Junta has published a Procla mation, to deplore the fatal events of the Ist it*. which, howey2r„ we. have the consolation ..pf knowing arose from circumsta,nceventirely fortg itous and unforseen. , According to a letter from the Agent to LLOYD'S, received r this' ;.day,. the account is confirined of the revolt ,of the Grea-s in Wallachia, and . Aroldavia, and the pro bability was that , it would become general throughout the Ottoman Empire. The Greeks were pouring from Odessa at the rate of bun dreds each day, and 4,000 were expected to issue from 'Nit. place. Crews had abondoned their ships, and, even shopkeepers had joined in marching for the same object. It is thought that the Greeks would:not have arisen, if not backed by a secret Power. It is added, that Russia has asked permission of the Sublime Porte that a fleet may pass into the Mediterranean. Viewing, as we do, the Roman Catholic Ques- tion as the most fearful one of modern times— confident that if the Claims be conceded, the consequences will be tremendous, and eventually affect the meanest as well as the highest subject-- we shall again and again call the attention of the public to it. Should the collective wisdom of the Legislature think it best to concede the Claims, we shall, with the independent and ex- cellent County Representative for Leicestershire r. LEGII KECK), "' submit' in silence and in , • sorrow,;" but until that melancholy period ar- rive,. we trust that eTery constitutional exertion which can be made will be resorted to. No Representative ought to give up his own private and sincere convictions to any persons—not even to his constituents; and he would be blameable were :he to do it. Parliament, however, in its collective sense, Ought to know the sentiments of the people conveyed by PETITION according to the BILL OF RIGHTS, and we trust that English men will not be remiss in laying before it their sentiments at the present alarming crisis. Letters from Angostura, dated the 26th Ja nuary, were received yesterday. The following Proclamation, issued by Gene l BouvAn, after the conclusion of the Armistice of Truxillo, bad just been received. It strengthens the impres sion which previously existed, that this Treaty was the prelude to an adjustment of the differ ences between Spain and Columbia :-- PROCLAMATION' TO THE LII3ERATING ARMY. SOLDIEAS !-*-- The first step towards peace is made. A truce for six months, the prelude of our future repose, has been 'signed by the Gov'ernmehts of Columbia and Spain. During hat period an attempt will be:made to terminate for eve r th e horrors of war, and close thewounds of Columbia. The Go:. veriimentof Spain, now free and generous, wishes to 'act towards • us with justice. Her Generals have manifested with frankness andsincerity, their love.for peare, for. liberty, and even for Co lumbias I have received in your names the most hOnourable testimonies of the respect you justly merit; Soldier !P6ace for the first time shed s he r --splendid rays on C o l um bi a ; and with peace reckon on all, the benefits of liberty, glory, and in dependence.

LEICESTER, APRIL 13. 7 ---A.fifth Petition against the Roman Catholic Claims is in signature, from this loyal and Protestant District. It is expect ed to be presented to the Lords on Monday even ing, by the Duke of RUTLAND. • The. Duke of Gloucester has, we understand, had recently bequeathed to. him_ by an individual who resided in the Borongh r the sum of ,e 20,000. The Duke it appears had no knowledge of this wealthy person, who has likewise left -several legacies and given many donations to various charities. 4,011 the first Sunday in May there will be preached in the Church ,of Saint Mary, Newing ton, two Sermons r in aid of the Funds of the Na tional Schools in that extensive parish., The Bishop of WINCHESTER has, we•are in formed, had an estate of 1,0001. a-year devised to him by ,a country Gentleman, with whom be was not acquainted. It was yesterday reported in the City, that Lord COCHRANE had at length succeeded in cap turing the city of Lima; but the report, although by no means improbable, does not rest at present on any official or authentic foundation. Within the last few,-,AAX;'clifferent troops of Dragoons have passed through this town, some on their way to England, and others, we believe, to a western county. The first of these divisions, (the 7th Dragoons,) was commanded by Major YOUNGHUSBAND, who had his • head-quarters at Mrs. ,WILIJAMSON'S, Commercial-Inn ; and on Tuesday last we were a good deal interested on seeing the colours of .his regiment, handed from the windows of a house which once had the ho nour of lodging Prince CHARLES EDWARD STEW. ART, better known by the name of the -Preten der. It is only lately, however, that this house has been occupied as an inn ; and we presume the colours of Major YOUNGIIUSI L tND formed the first military banner that has graced- its wails since the year 1745, when- the highlanders, headed by the Pretender r then full retreat from England, sojourned .several days in Darn fries, and did the inhabitants the Akdditional ho nour of levying upon. them a pretty heavy con tribution. The Com merc i a l lun, being then a pri vate house, was deemed the most convenient place for the royal residence; and where our towns men now sit of an evening, discussing.the merits of Mr. PLUNKETT'S Bills, the Pretender gave au diences to those fierce and rival chieftains who, like the " Holy Leaguers" thought the civil and religious liberties of many millions of men quite' subordinate to the legitimate.rights.of one indi vidual, and did all that in them lay to disturb the permanency of the Protestant succession.— (Dwyfries Courier.) The investigation which has been lately carried on respecting some charges made agaihst some of the principal Officers of the Ordnance Department at Sheerness, wa:4 closed last weoc., and those gentlemen have been officially informed that they are ho nourably acitted of the charges brought : against them— (Kent Herald,)d DREADFUL FIRE.—A dreadful fire broke out this morning about two o'clock. It beg-an in the premises of Mr. How, the Coach Maker, Great Queen Street. The devouring element spread with such furious rapidity that the inhabitants of the House, where it commenced had hardly time to escape. The flames spread in several di rections and resisted all the efforts of theengines. We have not heard that any lives were lost, but the- destruction of property all- around has been considerable. BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. EXTRACT OP A LETTER rnom EDSN JZGH, E.1:1 4 . ED APRIL I,ragret to learn that the business of the Putiea on Timber is to likely to be s;ittled. in a way adverse to the Colonial in , terests ;—a duty imposed both on imports from the Provinces, and on foreign wood, might perhaps have been beneieW rather than otherwise, were nothing taken off the :atter. ; but an addi:. tion to ore, and a reduCtion of the other, will not only injure moat seriously the Trade of the British North American Pro vines, but leSsen the demand from thence for British rnanufac_ tures. Of these-I see by the estimate of last year's imports to Quebec, the shipments were 'nearly ...C.300,000.1e5s in value than those of the preceding year; and I dare venture to predict that should the duties as proposed be carried into operation, that the annual decrease of demand for these manufactures will still be in a greater proportion. The system adopted by Govern ment towards the COlonies, and to Canada in particular, is not only injurious to her trade, but . operates as a bounty towards the rapid improVement of the internal communication within the United States. Volumes of testimony upon this • subject have zone to Ministers, lint it is unfortunata that every thing going from the commercial body is . viewed with a jealous eye, and, I believe,. i s i nvar i a bl y cons id ere d to arise from interest e d motives. • . I hope some change - in the Corn Laws may be ob tained favourable to Canada, for really at present. the shippers of Grain from thence labour under great hardship, and all their shipments of necessity are made quite at hazard, as it isirn posSible •for them correctly to know whether the ports will or will. not be open at th e ti me o f t h e. arriva l s of their cargoes. Itdoes.not :require much conaLleration to discover, that at' a• period of - . 'opening the' ports' in Great Britain, vessels'- imme tiiatclr sent out can possibly have ; time suflicient ~to admit of their loading in this country, a reasonable, passage'oat to dis charge at Quebec or - Montreal, - have a cargo' Ol wheat pur chased and 'prepared for shipment,- loaded 'after the vessel is " hired 7 and prepared to receive,, and to -return within the three months to British port. Restricted as the Colonial,mer chant is, I dO think he Should have the benefit of the chan ce o f -the markets in the Mother Country at all times; if that indul gence cannot_ be granted, ,time ought certainly to be allowed i n a . way to b nive‘him a-certain fixed period from the tithe of the vessels - clearing out- from the 'Custom I - lotiSeat 'Quebec,' and a reduction'of the Tariff rate-(67) .

[DAILY EXTRACTS FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We know not well what to think of the account which Ge neral Uarrascosa has given of the defection of his corps. 'We are yet too much in the dark respectin& the proceedings at Naples, to be able to judge between the officers and the soldiery. We know considerable suspicion Was entertained of the officers before the commencement of hostilities. A very great majority of them . consisted of Noblesse, a body who, in all popular Re volutions, uniformly take part openly or secretly against the people. Great cowardice has certainly been displayed by the soldiery; but it is possible Cilat that cowardice may appear to be greater than it really*as, throu„oh the treachery of the officers, and that the firing on these of was the result of a general conviction of such treachery. • ORING .] The accounts from [ the Tu Y/ rkish POST Provinces confirm all our previous statements of the insurrection having already been productive of considerable bloodshed. - The Proclamation of Prince Ypsilanti to all the Greeks, calling upon them to throw off the Ottoman yoke, . tells them that the " Seryians, the.

Upon this Bill we have hitherto abstained from Offering any remarks, because we have been for some time doubtful whether it ought to be considered as a measure of general policy, affecting _the fiscal and commercial arrange ments of a great empire, and framed upon an extensive view of our foreig,n relations and domestic interests, or whether it is to be treated. as a Matter of police, adopted for the better preve.►- tion of the crime of forgery, and to supersede the necessity of devising any scheme ior improving the engraved dies of the Bank of England notes. The immediate operation of the Bill, at all events,. is to relieve the Bank of England from every re straint upon the payment of its notes in cash, and therefore closes at length the system that has been so long and so fatally known under the name , of the " Bank Restriction," but it does not entitle the public. ,to insist upon obtaining gold for notes, the agency of the measure being still reposed upon the discretion'of the Bank Directors.

In the City and at Curt' . nothing is now talked of but the fete in preparation... Eyery person exercises his imagination on the wonders of that night,, which is to surpass in magnificence all that we read' Of •in the Arabian Nights. Jewellers, milliners, dress-makers, confec tioners, all are in requisition,' and the only words now ;uttered are, "do you go to R's ? Have you received a card - of ix;lvi-• tation delightful it will be !" The important hour arrives ; a thousand - women, rivalling each other in grace, youth, and beauty, are ushered into the Sa loons, and not a seat is left unoccupied ; the crowd Still increases . and presses forward,One elbows another, and all are nearly suf.; focated. The master of the house gives orders which remain unexecuted, welcomes his guests, who take no notice `of him,, and inquires the names of a Multitude - of persons whom 113 never saw before.

He is accused of having courted thscOrtipany . of the great, as if he were the only financier who did not associate with his equals., of having given his ball out of ostentation, as if such fetes were ever given i n t h e spirit of humility ; of having obtruded his invitations on all the world, as if all the world had not solicited the honour of receiving them ; und lastly, they accuse him of having squandered 20,40 a francs in one night to deceive the public and enlarge his credit, as if this magnificent foreigner could not • plead in excuse the example of 20 of our modern men of fashion. But this is trifling to what follows : epigrams, anonymous letters, and lampoons pour in upon him ; all the world is informed that he had the presumption to wish to please the Court, that he thought to play the petit Jourdain ; and to crown all, obscure writers, who study French manners in coffee-houses or in the saloons of Frascati, do not miss this opportunity of attacking him with the bitterest satires; happy still may be think himself if they spare his family and his country. You, perhaps, fancy this unfortunate Crmstis deserving of pity: quite the contrary : he has made a noise in the world, which was all he wished ; and -most likely he consoles himself in the words of the Athenian mentioned by Horace, Populus me sibilat ; at mini plaudo, Ipse domi, simul ac nummas contemplor in area ; amitho: next year he will probably.give a ball still more nag,. nificent. , . Even his, vexations are subjects of envy to common financiersnand his spectilations are not on that account . the less faittiriate. Next to the pleasure of getting money, the greatest gratifications plebeian can receive is to be able to exclaim, with his hands in his pockets while dan c ir, about his saloo n , "Good ' d4s,'lllitrqums, ' or, " Adieu, my dear D u k e ."
