Thus the Governimenf will soon he able to meet all the expences of the struggle in which it is engaged." [From the Journal des Debats.] A change in the Neapolita❑ Ministry is still spoken of to he brought about by Austria. The measures, at once violent and of little efficacy, which have been pursued by the Prince de Ca nosa and M. de Circelli, have for a length of time disquieted Austria, who was' desirous of being enabled to employ elsewhere a part of her troops. General Frimont, Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian troops, disapproved of the popu lar executions which the Neapolitan Police had favoured. The populace of Naples, for instance, seized a cock, condemned it as a Carbonari, and the executioner conveyed it to the place of exe cution. Whilst the populace amused themselves in this way, anti were -themselves the victims of the executioner, the great chiefs of the conspi racy escaped all punishment. General Frimont repeatedly made representations against so irra tional a system. It was expected he would be satlsfied by the dismission of the Prince de Ca nosa from the office of Minister of Police. But the disturbances in Sicily excited new disquie tude, and it is stated that Austria immediately Proposed a total change in the measures of the Government. We cannot guarantee the authen ticity of the extracts given in some Journals of the Diplomatic. Notes which were exchanged upon this subject between the Courts of Vienna and Naples. That which was sent to Naples the latter end of August contained in substance Et! follows : " At the period of the Treaty of Laybach, the Allied Powers trusted to the King of Naples as to the choice of persons capa ble of forming in that kingdom a proper Ministry to tranquil lize the minds of the people. The Emperor of Austria, as an Ally and a neighbour, was interested in the establishment of a Strong and solid Government at Naples, in order to avoid a•re volutionary reaction, which might (particularly in the case of The King's illuess) render necessary the indefinite prolongation of the stay of the army of occupation. Austria was, there fore, right in advising the King of Naples to dismiss from his councils certain men of little capacity, and to admit those 'who at Laybach had inspired so much confidence in the Allied Sovereigns, &c. &c." This Diplomatic Note was accompanied by an autograph letter from the Emperor, in which he conjured the King, in the most cordial terms, to agree to what was. proposed to him. It is said that the Council of State, to which the King transmitted this Note, induced - his Ma jesty to give an immediate answer to the Empe ror. The King, in fact, in a letter to the EMperor, declared the motives which at the mo ment prevented him from acceding to the measures proposed to him, stating that he could not, with out compromising the dignity of his Government, agree to the proposed measures. The letter con cluded .with a prayer to the Emperor no longer to insist upon this subject, at least for the pre sent. The Neapolitan Ministry nevertheless, as it is said, proposed to Prince Ruffo to become Minister for foreign Affairs, but which he re fused. There was also a talk of declaring Prince Leopold Vicar-General, with the alter ego. There was in all these movements little hope for the moderate constitutional party, which, per haps, would furnish to Europe the best guarantee against a new revolution. This party does not desire immediately a Constitution, but it wishes to see in the Ministry the Chevalier de Medici, the Count Zurla, and some Statesmen as well of the Ministry previous to the revolution of the 6 th of July, as of the moderate party of the Par liament with which the Declaration of the 3d of December had been concerted. It is known that t his Declaration promised the basis of the French Charter, the King engaging to obtain their re cognition at Laybach. But the Ultra Liberals in Parliament considered this wise attempt as a c rime, and placed in a state of accusation M. de Zurla, who was one of the principal authors. We are ignorant whether the Court of Austria has given up its charges against this party. M. de Zurla lives at Rome, MM. de Medici and de Tomassi live at Florence without being disturbed. It was hoped that the Duchess de Floridia would hive interfered in their favour, but hitherto no Step has been taken to recal them. the real difficulty is that of paying the Aus tria❑ army, and defraying the expences of the war, and of forming , some foreign regiments. Albanians and Irishmen were recruited. The 'first formed as formerly the Royal Macedonian Regiment. Some' persons assert, that in the event o f a partition of Turkey, the army of General /'rimont would be destined to act against Alba tlia, and that would be an excellent oppor tunity to enrol some thousands of turbulent indi viduals reduced to misery , by the late disturb ances; but if the affairs of the Levant are tran quillised, the evacuation of the kingdom of Naples may be considered as at least deferred , .•till the latest period fixed . by the Convention b'ltween the two Courts. Such appears to us to he the most authentic in telligence that is in circulation respecting Naples. Other reports are spread, which are very im- Probable, and which are supported by documents ' e vidently falsified. FRENCH FUNDS. April 22, Five per Cents. Opened at 87 f. —c.

WEST LOGE BOROUGH ELECTION—House informed, that the Committee have determined, that it appeared to the Com mittee, that the merits of the Petition did in part depend up on the Right of Election ; and therefore the Committee re quired the Counsel on both sides to deliver to the Clerk of the Committee Statements in writing of the Right of Election for which they respectively contended : That in consequence thereof the Counsel for the Petitioner delivered in a Statement, as follows : That the right of voting in the Borough of West Looe is " in the Commonalty,or,Burgesses, being the Inhabitants House holders of the said Borough, paying scot and lot." That the Counsel for the Sitting Member delivered in a State ment as follows , That the Right of Election is " in the Mayor and Burgesses of the Borough of %Vest Looe, being Members of the Corpora tion." That, upon the Statement delivered in by the Counsel for the Petitioner, the said Committee have determined, " That the Right of Election, as set forth in the said Statement, is not the Right of Election for the Borough of West Looe." That, upon the Statement delivered in by the Counsel for the Sitting Member the said Committee have determined, " That the Right of Election, as set forth in the said Statement, is not the Right of Election for the Borough of West Looe," That the said Committee have determined, That the right of voting in the Borough of West Looe is "in the Mayor and Burgesses of the Borough of Portbighan, otherwise West Looe, being Members of the Corporation of the said Borough, and being inhabitants of the town of West Looe." That the said Committee have also determined, That the Right Honourable Henry Goulburn is duly elected a Burgess [Extract from the Agent to LLOYD'S at Constan tinople, dated the 23d ult.] " The Turkish Fleet has had an engagement with the Greek Squadron off Patras, in which the former had the advantage. Seven of the latter, according to the accounts given by the Porte, have. been burnt, as many sunk, and some driven on shore ; the remainder took to flight., — The Turks retired to Zaute to repair damage. A large Fleet is irt , preparation here, and will very soon be ready for sea. It consists of 22 ships, many of the first rate ; its destination is not yet known, U'ut a part is expected to pro ceed to the Archipelago.—We have been three weeks without any news from Odessa." The Paris Papers of Monday have arrived, but contain no fresh intelligence,respecting the ques tion between Turkey and Russia. We have given extracts in another column, communicating various interesting details respecting the late naval victory of the Greeks, of which there is no longer any doubt ; and also relative to the pro ceedings of the new Greek Governments. The Journal des Debats contains an article on the affairs of Naples, from which it appears that the violence of the measures pursued by the present Ministers of FERDINAND have excited the dis approbation of the Austrians, and. that the latter insist upon a change of the Neapolitan Ministry. It seems that the conduct of Austria on this oc casion is highly satisfactory to France. , • The news from Spain, contained in the French Journals, is very important. It appears that great dissatisfaction preyails throughout Spain, in consequence of the measures adopted by the French Government on the Pyrenean frontiers, with respect to the cordon of health, and the • protection afforded to Spanish refugees inimical to the present Constitution of Spain, and that ex planations on these subjects were demanded of the French Ambassador at Madrid, and the French Government by the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs.—The following are extracts : ( From the Journal de; Debate.) MADRID, APRIL 11.--(Extract of a Letter.)— " Rumours the most improbable succeed each other with astonishing rapidity since the arrival of a courier extraordinary from Paris. It has been concluded from thence that a declaration of war between France and Spain had taken place, and some have even gone so far as to announce t'he return of the Minister Plenipotentiary of this Court from Paris, and the departure of the Count Lagarde from hence. According to these rumours, the Spanish Envoy at Paris having observed too little delicacy towards the Cabinet of the Tuilleries on the subject of the cordon of health, and of the factious of Navarre, &c. the French. Government had taken him ate his word, when he threatened to quit the capital, which it is said he has ultimately done*. On the receipt of .this news -the Spanish Ministers repaired to Aranjuez, and M. Lagarde. has received his leltres de conge. Yesterday he went to see the King.at Aranjuez to take leave of his Majesty, and he is expected immediately to repair to Paris. " This news has spread consternation through out the capital: Our affairs, already, in a lament able condition, are rendered worse by this cir cumstance, which does not contribute to make us either contented or happy." * There was only wanting stiCh an assertion as this to enable us to judge of the truth. If M. the Count Lagarde is prepar ing to quit Spain as the Spanish Ambassador has quitted Paris, the pretended rupture is not very far advanced, and our Corres pondent has been led into an error. (From the Constitutionnel.) Extract from a . Letter cf the 91h.—" The Council of State held last night a very long ex traordinary sitting. Persons of credit assure me that it related to the presentation of an ener getic Note to the French Government, relative to the troops placed on the line of the Pyrenees, under the pretext of guarding against the epi demic, which has ceased for many months past. A Minister set out this morning for Aranjuez, to lay the Resolution of the Council before the King." Extract of a Letter, dated the llth.—" 'The King is still confined-to his bed by the gout. 'lt is affirmed that his -Majesty approves the Diplo matic Note relative to France, which has been submitted to him." " Senor Martinez de la Rosa, Minister of Foreign Affairs, went yesterday morning to Aranjuez to wait on the King, and is not yet ref turned. It is reported that this Minister has had a very warm conference with the French Ambassador,. on the subject of the disturbances in Catalonia and Navarre." Extract of a Letter from Washington, dated March 20.—" The whole Cabinet were unani mous on the subject of the recognition of the Independence of the. South Anierican Colonies. It is expected , that the recognition will extend to six Sovereign States. viz. Buenos Ayres, Chili, Mexico, Columbia, Brazils, and Peru.—The President has fixed upon a Gentleman of high standing for one of our Envoys to South America. It is reported that. an Ambassador is on hissway from Mexico to Washington, and that he is em powered to contract for the building and equip ping in the United States of a respectable Ma rine for the Mexican Goyernment.—The Buenos Ayres Government has declared its determina tion to grant no exclusive commercial privileges. This is agreeable to our Administration, which had previously said it wished fOr none, and it, must be glad that other nations are not to have them." Mr. DA COSTA, Secretary to the Portuguese r.egation, is arrived at New York. IRELAND.-On Thursday a desperate attempt at assassination was made upon Captain JOHN STANDISH, of the City of Limerick Militia, by three ruffians who attacked him in the glen of Ballinruan, with two guns and a scythe. One of the guns was fired so close to him, that he was able to put it aside with his stick, though even then his stomach was grazed with the shot, and several slugs perforated a hand kerchief buttoned under the breast of his coat. Capt. S. being fortunately provided with pistols, returned the attack, and having wounded one of the ruffians, succeeded in effecting his escape.— At Limerick Assizes eight men have been con victed of attacking the Post-office at Shanagolden. At the same Assizes R. Cussen, a man of gentle manly manners and address, has been convicted of breaking into the dwelling-house of J. SHELTON, Esq. of Rossmore, as the leader of a party of Whiteboys. The principal evidence against the prisoner was given by the Misses SHELTON, while two of the servants directly contradicted their testimony, as to the identity of Cussen. The young ladies spoke warmly of the humane man ner in which the prisoner had conducted himself during the outrage, the elder sister saying that " she should never foreget his honourable and merciful conduct towards her brother on that night." He was sentenced t 6 be hanged; but was recommended to ,mercy. The prisoner so lemnly declared his innocence. DREA Drur, CATAsTßopitt.—This morning, about fire o'clock, the two houses, Nos. and 7, in Budge-row, Watling-street, fell in with a dreadful crash, burying •in the ruins the occu pier, Mr. NicHoLs, and eight' other !per sons.—Mr. Nichols, a woman / servant, and a boy, were got out in a most dreadful state about an hour afterwards, and conveyed to the Hosiiital.• The- woman, it is stated, died on her way thither. The City Officers afforded the most prompt and effectual assistance in removing the rubbish to release the other unfortunate sufferers, whose piercing shrieks excited the most horror-stricken feelings in the immense number of persons that had been attracted to the spot.-- At the time our Reporter came away there were four persons to get out from the ruins. to serve' in this present Parliament for the Borough 'of West Looe. That the said Petition did not appear to the Committee to be Frivolous or vexatious. That the opposition to the said Petition- did not appear to, the Committee to be frivolous or vexatious. PRIVATE BlLLs—Lßesolution (7th Feb.)

ARGYLL. Rooms.—These rooms were opened last night for the first of a series of Concerts which CATALAN' submits to the British Public, preparatory to her taking a final leave of the Musical profession. The concert last night, in point of selection and performance, was worthy of the high professional character of this great singer. The selections were from H AYDN, ROSSINI, MOZART, BEETHOVEN, &C. but CATA LAN! was of course the chief, if not the only, object of attention. On her entrance she was re ceived with the warmest acclamations, which she gracefully returned. Her late tour has obviously increased her health and beauty. We wish we had room to dwell upon her excellencies, but we reserve ourselves for a future opportunity.— Of six pieces, which she warbled with wonderful precision and great sweetness, two were encored, and, notwithstanding their fatiguing difficulty, she repeated them with the most obliging prompti tude. CURIONI and PLACCI were the other vocal Performers, and their Airs and Duets afforded an agreeable variety. Mademoiselle PALLIZ gratified the company with an Air and Variations on the Harp, and YANI EWICZ and PIO CLAN-. , CHETTINI also afforded much pleasure by their performance on the Violin and Pianaforte. This Concert may be considered as an admirable spe cimen of what are to ensue, and a numerous audience testified by the warmest applause the pleasure which they had received from the whole of the entertainment. CO-OPERATIVE AND ECONOMICAL SOCIETY. — The Anniversary of this excellent Institution was celebrated yesterday by a dinner at the Society's Central House, Guilford-street East, Wilming-. ton-square. Mr. QWEN, of New Lanark (on the basis of whose propositions the Society has been formed, by the spontaneous junction of a number of families, chiefly of the working classes), was present, and delivered a long and luminous ex position of his enlightened views and beneficent , projects, illustrated by engraved plans and draw ings. He forcibly contended that there was no other means of relieving the distresses of the country and the embarrassments under Which even the highest interests of the State now labour, than the adoption of his propositions ; and we believe that few will hesitate to admit, that a comprehensive plan for the renovation of the public prosperity and the security of the public happiness and tranquillity, has not _yet been de vised by any other individual, or by any of the Authorized Bodies to which the public welfare is especially entrusted. Every objection to Mr. 0 W i EN'S system had been satisfactorily answered, except that it was contended, a priori, that the families associated would not agree. The actual condition of the Co-operative and Economical Society,' however, which has been formed,. under the most disadvantageous circumstances, without capital, without suitable buildings, without any influence or authority whatever, and which has already attained to a high degree of comfort, to the commencement of an admirable system of training and education for the children, and to the erection of improved buildings for the more commodious execution of its various arrange ments, is a proof of the efficacy of the principles for securing the cordial union of the associates. The buildings which are in progress for the So ciety were shewn to the company before dinner ; and it was intimated, that as soon as the number of the Society (250 families) shall be completed, a Gentleman has declazed his readiness to erect a square, with all the requisite buildings, for their accommodation. The erections now in progress, amongst which is a dining-room 103 . feet .in length, are therefore only for temporary occu pation by the Society. We have seldom derived, from any numerous assemblage, the pleasure and satisfaction which we experienced yesierday s at the meeting of this infant Association. There was a modesty and simplicity in its conduct sin gularly expressive of propriety of feeling and integrity of intention. It was evident that there had been no preparations for show, no desire of parade, no endeavour to give effect, or to catch 'approbation by the little artifices so often re sorted 'to when the object is to captivate the ima gination and excite the feelings of the benevo lent. All was plain, homely, and unostentatious. The members and the company were as much at ease as on any every day occasion ; and it was quite obvious, that the Society had studied no arrangements for the day, except the best means of providing for the comfort of their respectable visitors. This is an Institution which really ought to occupy a prominent place in the public eye,—to be supported by a liberal portion of the public patronage,—and to be 'powerfully aided in the completion of its organization, by advances of capital on loan. We should re ' joice to see a public subscription opened for this purpose. The landed interest, in particular, ought to see how deeply they are interested in the success of projects calculated to effect a vast increase, in the consumption of all kinds of do , mestic products, 5 , Is i ..,.!i 47. , 44 ~ - ~ cipiii4,,,,,,,—A J_ .. ~m,4,, .;... t „ -, •' . 7 :,,,, , , , , '... 01 0,1 4- 4, p ' r ye r-, -. , s ~,, 1 ...„..-- 4, . --Y , ''' ' `tt c• -- -___ 11- 0 f ,'l, '*,, rz , . .„, 1-......^$ , , O .l- l , 4 ..(...e.,R oy y.....kv op ArNseinlo FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.
