NAPLES.

NAPLES, tt.cit S.

All domestic events seem for the prevent to bavo
sunk into insignificance in comparison with the great
event of the resincmation of the Russell ministry.
Every one is speaking. of it, and long is it since any
purely foreign incident has occurred which has so
strongly excited either the fears or the hopes, rho
' lamentations or rejoicings of diffesent par ;es. Tho
liberals are in the depths of despair, for throughout
the continent they swear by Lord calmer-tun, which
name is to them a tower of strength, and whom they
regard, par excellence, as the firm and determined
antagonist of despotism. The depression and sorrow
of the liberals are only to be equalled by tho
rejoicings of the royalists, who now dream of
the approach of the New Jerusalem, and think
that a great obstacle to the aceomplishment
of their plans is removed. The plans of the despots
will now he more quickly developed, and we shall
shortly see what are the objects matted by
the immense armaments in formation at Naples. Tat-
ters from I'ucrio, cx-miuister and Huron, speak of his
being in confinement at Ischia, without bed (or any
thing deserving the name), or linen, or such conve-
niences as common decency demands.

The agitation produced throughout Europe by the
prolonged ministerial crisis in England has been felt
in a double degree here, where ecclesiastical interests
as well as the course of future political events, depend
greatly upon the line of conduct to be adopted by
the British cabinet. It is singular enough that the
temporal and spiritual views of the papal court
' should so far be at variance with each other tut-to
produce alternately the greatest satislaetiun and dis-
approbation at the different progranunes of ministries
put forward by the London journals. The idea, for
instance, of Lord Stanley succeeding in forming a
cabinet was most grateful, in a political point of
view, to the majority of cardinals and prelates, be-
cause they would willingtl put up with some restric-
tive measures against English and Irish Ronan
catholic dignitaries, on condition of seeing the bonds
of alliance and political sympathy drawn more
closely between England and Austria, and the
detested principle of republicanism thereby
more effectually crushed throughout Europe.
With those few, however, who place the interests
of the Roman catholic church before those of the
Roman temporal government, the probability of a
tory cabinet was deplored, as likely to hinder the
farther aggrandisement of the newly created hierarchy
in Englund. I hear that Cardinal Lambruschint,
either from having a more practical knowledge of the
state of party, feeling in England, or front having a
more sincere interest in the progress and welfare of
the spiritual part of papal dominion (an interest
which he proved by the zeal and tamers of his nego-
ciations with the Russian and Prussian governments
upon disputed ecclesiastical points during the Ponti-
fieate of fops Gregory XVI), is one of the principal
deprecators of tory government; hut most of his
venerable brethren consider the political security of
' the papal see as of far more importance than the re-
' ligious persecution of a few ultramontane prelates.
' This feeling will serve to explain the triumph that
pervaded the ecclesiastical circles on Lord John Rus-
sell's resignation, the celerity of the Giornale de
Rana in announcing the hid, and the following
bitter comments of the Ossereatore Romano on the
' conduct of the defunct ministry :
. . . . _ _ _

The Austrian Correspoadowe of the 11th says that
Prince Sehwarzcnbcrg in the course of the week
was to return to Dresden, hoping a favourable result,
but determined to meet further resistance with all
the influence at his summand. The Kohl( r Zeit qny,
of the same date, says that the despatches Baron
Rosenberg had brought that day from Vienna to
lkrlin were by no means calculated to allay anxiety.
England, the same paper, of the date of the 14:14
from Berlin, informs us, had presented a note to thu
Prussian cabinet against the entrance of the wholo
Austrian monarchy into the Band. A like English
note had been forwarded to the cabinet of Vienna.
The ministerial organs of the Austrian government
deny that there has ever been any intention on tho
part of Austria either to menace or to attack Swit-
zerland or Piedmont. The Awdriftn Curresp,mblwe,
however, acknowledges that there have been a good
many reflections on the subject, but that these reflec-
tions differ us much from direct intervention as an
egg does front the chicken that conies out of it. Thus
out of the denial comes unawares the coati ssion nt
the purposes of Austria towards the countries just
mimed.

The Journal des Debate publishes the following as
a detailed analysis of the report and the propositions
of the second committee of the conference of I tresden.
That body has not yet completed its task, but it has
already sent in the five follouing propositions, the
ado Lion of which, the .Tuurmd des lielputs remarks,
be a rude attack on the constitutional ecybac
such us it is established in several Gement states:
1. AU the members of the confederation C112:1::, to abro-
gate an the clauses introduced since 1t445 int., the constitu-
tions of their country, or concerning the constitutions of
these countries, and which may be incompatible tither with
the federal constitution or with the monarchical principle.
2. in all cases where a dispute may arise between the
sovereign and the states of his country, eitker on tin inter-
pretstion or °attic application of the constitution, the states,
as well US the sovereign, will have the right to submit the
question in dispute to the federal diet, which will seek to
interpose its good offices, or will pronounce on the question
tither by itself or through an &Oland tribunal.
3. Any general refusal to vote tuxes oil the part of the
staWs will be regunied us an act of resistance of the subjects
against the government, and will be, on that respect, treated
conformably to Art. 25 of the convention of Vienna of 15th
May, MO.
4. The sovereign princes, united in the confcderation,
cannot be controlled or limited in any way by the states of
their country in the accomplishment of their doh, or in
the execution of the conventions resulting front the fell ud
constitution

The English ministry is fallen. There is no corner of the
universe in which this fact is not saluted as a fortunate
and wished-for event. The fellah of Egypt, the Chinese,
the Indian, and every government of Europe, except some
little state of second ur third class, have raised or will raise
a !Ty of joy at the news The cabinet which wet Europe
upside down falls without leaving a regret behind; struck
by the indignation of the parliament, it has obtained neither
the love nor the pity of the nation. It hail inaugurated a
subtle and treacherous policy, and therefore necessarily fell
execrated both by governments and nations. it fell not in
a struggle of principles, nor can it appeal to the judgment
of history and posterity ; it fell almost without it conflict,
without glory, and without hope. This cabinet has ruined
catholic and conservative Switzerland, placed Sicily iu
flames, furnished all the rerulutionista of Europe with
British arms and guineas, hired the English rabble to
bumble to the dust the venerable character of a cardinal

u. When, in the cases provided furby Arts. 25, 26, and 28
of the said convention of Vienna, the armed intervention of
the confederation in a German state shall be necc,sary, thu
confederation will seek to enlighten itself us to the cauas
of the difference which has arisen ; and, in the event of its
being found to have its source in the constitution or in thu
laws of the country, it will cause them to be modified.
The committee in its report explains that the ob-
ject of its first proposition is the abrogation of the
fundamental rights of the people voted by the As-
sembly at Frankfort on the 27th December, Ms,
that is to say, the abrogation of the principle of uni-
versal suffrage and that of all restrictions to the right
of rsto of the sovereigns. The conference, in adopt-
ing it, will virtually adopt : Ist, the abolition of thu
oath to the constitution taken by the army ; 2nd, the
principle of the non-intervention of the tribunals in
cases connected with the rights of sovereigns in order
to render impossible the recurrence of what has re-
cently taken place at Electoral Hesse, when: the
exercise of the public authority was cramped by the
judicial power ; and 3rd, the principle of inde-
pendence of the sovereign power with regard to tho
choice and maintenance in office of the ministers,

and a pontiff, and excited against the catholic religion in
England the intolerance of Calvin, ant the persecutions of
Henry and Elizabeth. And yet thesz minister, agitators
of the whole world, spoke of nothing but peace, order,
loyalty, justice' and liberty. If this cabinet has expired
' whilst it thought itself omnipotent, the blow has certainly
not come from men, but from Providence. If it is no more,
it is well that is no more We hope for the honour of
England that the policy of l'almerstun and Ituseell will
give way to a more reasonable and more honourable policy.
We hope th.st the fall of the English ministry will be lid-
lowed up by other falls equally necessary for the peace of
the world and the prosperity of nations.

Prince Paskievitsch, whose arrival here I men-
tioned a couple of months ago, has made a most de-
termined attempt at suicide, by stabbing himself six
times in the region of the heart with a knife. He
was a young man, and nephew to the prince who is
the head of the family. His attachment to a Young
Polish lady was disapproved of by his friend's and
the Emperor, and, in order to break it off, he was
sent with dispatches to the Russian ambassador at
Rome. The disappointment appears to have affected
his reason, since he subsequently gave frequent evi-
dence of eccentricity, if not mental aberration ; and
on Thursday night, after having called for his pistols,
which were refused him, he inflicted the wounds as

whose existence will be no longer at the mercy of a
fluctuating or chance majority. The committer,
moreover, declares that it considers the publication of
new laws as useless, and that it will be sufficient to
correct or revise the federal convention and the final
one of Vienna, and it is to this work of revision that
its efforts will be applied.

OVERLAND MAILS TO TILE LEVANT.—By forward-
ing correspondence by the railways in Belgium, G. rmany,
and Amtria, an extraordinary acceleration of that from
Great Britain and Belgium to Austria and those foreign
states, to reach which it is sent through Austria, has been
obtained. As a proof of this, the feet may be mentioned,
that a letter, sent on the 29th of June, 1840, from London
by the ordinary post to Constantinople, by way of Vienna,
was in the hands of the person to whom at was adeln,sed
on the 11th of July. Lien though in isolated instances
such expedition could not be depended upon, owing to the
season of the year being unfavourable to conveyance by the
ordinary roads, it may be assumes' with certainty that,
during the greater part of the year, the correspondence re-
ferred to will reach its destination in a shorter time by way
of Austria than by other routes; but the letters must be
posted at their respective offices in time to arrive at Vienna
on Tuesday, on the evening of which clay the express to
Constantinople is despatched. It is also necessary to write
on the addresses " N is Ostend and Vienna," as it is only
by this means that the post-offices can be directed to send
the terreepoodence by the route above stated.

I have mentioned above, creating such7s serious in-
jury that his life is considered to be in the greatest
danger.

the carnival week, and, if reports are correct, just in

England us possible, and would no doubt have been
very glad to number one of the noble family of Nor-
