DUHLIN PAVING RILL.

Sir JOHN N EWPORT moved, that the order for
the second reading of this Bill should be postponed
to the Ist May next.
Lord DE BLAQUIERE wished to be informed
of the reason for this postponement.
Sir J. NEWPORT replied, that it was because
the Report of the Commissioners of Inquiry into the
condud of the late Paving Board had not yet been
printed.
Di. DUIGENAN shortly defended the conduel
of the suspended Commissioners.
Mr. ALEXANDER also considered the suspen-
sion to be only for the purpose of acquiring State
influence. He said he was very far from condemn-
ing the Administratiuo of the Earl of I lardwiLke,
but thought, that in this instance, that well•inten-
tiouod Nublcman had bees ►adly advised.
Lor.l BL.XQUII.:RE renewed the observa-
tions which he in often before made, respelling the
condemnation of the late Paving Board, without the
Commissioners being heard in their own defence;
after which the motion of Sir .1. Newport was
agreed to.
A person from the Tat Office presented an ac-
count of the gross assessments of the Property Tax,
the names of the persons assessed, and the arrears
due upon it for the ?ears 1f304 and !SOS. Ordered
to lie on the table.

In a Committee on the Tea Duties it was voted.
that the Cus:cm Dicks now in force should cease and
determine, and in lieu a new duty be imposed of 61.
per cent. allowing a drawback of the same upon
exportation.
The Report was ordered to be received tomor-
row, and the House adjourned.

HANDL/RON, APRIL 8.
His Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick has
returned from Berlin to Brunswick, where he arrived
on the 4th.
aerial, YARCR 11.
The Gazette of this city contains the following
article:—
" Notwithstanding the arrest ani removal of se-
veral disturbers of the public tranquillity. and the
afelionate admonition of Prince Joseph, the foolish
measure of arming is still resorted to. His Impe-
rial Highness has, in consequence, authorised Mar-
shal Massena to establish a Military Commission,
wherever he thinks proper. The substance cf the
ediCt issued on this occasion is as follows All in-
dividuals who shall be arrested in the public roads,
or streets, with arms in their hands, thieves or assas-
sins, spies, and all persons convifted of an muster-
stamling with the enemy, for the purpose of disturb-
ing the public peace, or undertaking any thing hos-
tile to the safety of the army, shall be tried by Mili.
tary Commissions. There shall be as many Com-
missions as there are corps of the army. No appeal
to any other tribunal shall be allowed, from the
sentences of the Commission, which shall be execut-
ed within twenty-four hours. One of these Com-
missions shall be established in the city of Naples.'
Accordingly a Police Commission, with a moveable
column of 1,400 men, set out on the Bth inst. for
the purpose ut quelling these disturbers of the public
tranquillity, and began to disarm the inhabitants of
Portici, Resins, and Ponticello.
As Gaeta is the lies of the insurgents, every ne-
cessary preparation has been made for its formal in-
vestment.
Operations have likewise commenced in Calabria.
The following official Bulletin has been published :

ACCOUNT OF Tilt BATTLE AT LACO NERO.

‘, On the 6th instant, the advanced guard of the
3d corps of the army, commanded by General
Regnier, arrived, at two o'clock in the afternoon,
on the Banks of the Silo. The enemy had burned
the bridge, and endeavoured to dispute the passage
with a numerous infantry, a twelve pounder, and a
howitzer. Dispositions were instantly made for the
attack, and with such judgment, that the enemy
could not avail himself of the advantage of his
position. The Voltigeurs sprang upon the cannon,
and compelled their defenders to fly, and to leave
behind the whole of their artillery and ammunition
waggons. Our troops pursued the fugitives more
than two miles, to Lago Nero, where the enemy had
made preparations for a vigorous resistance. But
our troops, without sneering themselves to be in
the least checked in their nvirch, advanced into the
place, in spite of a heavy fire of musketry and ar-
tillery. A great number of prisoners were here
taken ; among these was a Colonel, a Major, and
several other superior Officers ; two pair of colours,
three cannons, some horses, and a very large equi-
page, belonging to the General Commandant, and
other Generals who betook themselves to flight,
were left in our possession, together with the chests
of several regiments. The enemy lost magazines
of I,i,cuits, brand", dm"
The five Neapolitan companies of Artillery are
already completed, and Brigadier Don Joseph Fon-
seca, is appointed Commandant of them.
We have received intelligence from Palermo, that
General Forteguerri, the Minister of War and Ma-
rine, on his arrival in that city, requested, and ob-
tained leave to resign, on accuent of his health.

circumstance, that after the signing of the treaty of

was not furnished soon enough with the necessary
counter-orders. Our Ministry has delivered to the

We had long suspened, from the slight notice
taken in the Paris Papers of the progress of the
French arms in the kingdom of Naples, that they
had met an unezpe&ed resistance. The Hamburgh
doe on Sun Jay, arrived yesterday, with In-
ten and Papers, to the Bt.") instant, which confirm
our suspicions. The report of the surrender of
Gaeta, and of the submission of the Calahrians, is
contradiaed in letters front Rome of the 17th last.
The French army was then advancing into Ca-
lalsia, in three columns ; the centre is commanded
by Marshal filassarsa, the left by General Lances,
and the right by General it eGNIVII. On the 6th,
rie Calabrians had a smart allion with the
later, at Lagn Nero, en account of which is
given in an offi!ial Bulletin, published at the
lead-Quarters of the French Arusy at Naples,
a:s the 61, In this Bulletin, the Calabrians are
described not as a tumultuary force, but a re-
gular nrganised and well appointed army. At
two o'clock, on the afternoon of the 6th, the
French divisinn onler General Reunite, arrived on
the banks of the Silo, the passage of which was dis-
puted by the Caheirians, with a numerous infantry.
The French, however, having succeeded in forcing
t le passage, the Calais:4ns fell back upon Lego
Nero, where they had made preparations for a vi-
?onus resistance. Here a battle ensued, the result
of which is represented .0 favourable to the French,
who are said to have made a great number of pri-
soners, including several superior Officers. The
rrilitary chests and magazines of the Calabrians are
also stated to have faller 6..0 the hands of the ene-
my- A`ter reading this account, we almost re-
gret that the English and Russian troops hay e
ow

evacuated the kingdom of Naples. What might
not the brave Calabrians have effeaed with such
Jssistance ? But this loyal, generous, and patriotic
spirit s nor confined to the Cslabrians. All Naples
appears to be in a state of insurrioltion against the
iSossier. The Noplys Qaseite says, that tt not-
withltandius the arrest and remoral of several
list sbari ql the public tranquillity, and the
iliralimitalldfltallitiOlS of Prince JOIMPH, the fool-
ish maitsurp of arming is still resorted to." Mar-
shal Rosati*, the mild and humane Masstma, has
received orders to establish as many Military Com-
missiou as he shall think proper, one of which had
ilt sin with a mossahle 'alums of 1,400, to disarm
thfa illhaMtoats of looses, Resins, and Porticello.
Tips, who art acquainted with the French phrises-
lisgy, will readily understand what is meant by these
detentions and removals, these military commis-
sions from which there is no appeal, and whose
sentences must be executed within twenty-four hours
ur.dr.r the auspices of the merciful Masse's*.
The fin.sians, it appears, have not only obtained
possession of the fortress commanding the mouths
of the Catarro, but they were Ale spreading them.
selves over Dalmatia, and had taken several places,
among which are Castel-Nnovo, and its Port,
which secure their po>ition at Corfou. The
Montenegrins have joined the Russians. Fifteen
Couriers lately passed through Ulm in one day.
This may afford some idea of the aaivity of
the diplomatic correspondence; and, consequent-
ly, unsettled state of the Continent at the present
moment. The question between Austria and
France, appears to relate principally to the pos-
session, lately obtained, of the Bocca di Calabra,
by the Russian troops. The Court of Vienna, in its
answer to the French remonstrance upon this sub-
jett, states, in its justification, for the admission of
the Russians into the place, that, after the signing of
the treaty of Presburg, the Commander of the Rus-
sian squadron was not furnished soon enough with
the necessary counter-orders. The Austrian Minister
has also delivered to the Russian Ambassador, a cir-
cumstantial Note, requiring that the Russian troops
shall be immediately withdrawn from that post.

exaggerated into a formidable riot, and attributed
to a political spirit.
