With tbis view, his Lordship issued a Proclamation, dated Palermo, October 31, 1813, in which he says, that he has pledged himself to his Majesty the KING, and to his Royal Highness the HEREDITARY PRINCE, to guarantee, that,the Royal Assent given to the tundamental principles of a frve Constitution in Sicily, should not com promise either the safety of the Crown . or the public tranquility ; that until the Varliament, about to he called, should assemble, it was neces sary to provide for the good order and security of the Island, by suppressing the existing contusion and irregularity, which threatened a fatal destruc tion not only to the liberty of the subject, but to the safety of the State ; and that until the 41ori otts work of the Constitution, so happily begun by the Parliament of 1.512, should be firmly con solidateA, he had taken upon himself the respon sibility of maintaining; the public tranquility, with the aid of the tortes entrusted to his command. lie. had therefore issued this Notice, declarintz, that he would punish by summary mili.ary process every disturber of public peace, assassins, and all other enemies of the Constitution, who should in any way obstruct the 111Ca5llVeS of Government, ur manifest any other hostile disposition: , , 10 E T _lt Y. .

The Fog still continues. It was more dense and oppressive last night than at ally time since its commencement on Monday last. Very few persons ventured out except on pressing business; and no sound was heard out of doors, bat the voices of the watch►uen, or the noise of , o ne so-. litmy carriage, cautiously feeling its way through the ;loom. It extends as far as the Downs, a distance of 70 miles, but ho' far in other di rections, has not been yet ascertained. The wind has in the interval blown uniformly from the North-east. We understand that there has been nothing like the present fog since the great earth/- quake at Lisbon, about half a century ago. The fog then lasted eight days. . On Thursday night List, about nine o'clock, a serjeant belonging to the West Kent Militia, gar risoned in the Tower, owing to the thickness of tho fog, fell into the River from the wharf, and was unfortunately drowned before assistance, from the extreme darkness, could be of any avail. Mom'ay night, owing to the thick fog, a post chaise and four passengers, nu its way from town to Ucl,field, was overturned into the_ water, by the rind siege, at Brixton Wash, the chaise was broken to pieces, and the passeugcrs and horses dreadfully :hit and bruised. Two men, respectably dressed, hatl the auda city to stop M. CROSS, of Portland-road* as early as ten o'clock on Tuesday evening, dnriug the fog. People were passing within;; a few yards of Mr. Cuoss at the time, but the robbers got his watch and hat in a second, and made off, eluding detection.

DAvis•performed the first two miles in 14 minutes, and did seven miles with in the hotir'; he finished the distance stipulated in one hour, 51 minutes, and eight .seconds. His antagonist completed the distance in two hours rind 12 minutes. anti iu consequence lost a ‘vnger of 2(3/. by 19 minutes. A great crowd was as sembled on the occasion, and the friends of the veteran were highly delighted with his success over his youthfuCcompetitor.
