A report is spread that the Emperor of Russia
has proposed new mesas of conciliation, in order
to an amicable arrangement of the differences with
Naples ; and that it is for this purpose this Mo-
narch has prolonged his stay at La)bach. Letters
from Vienna received yesterday and to-day, ap.
pear to confirm this news. They inform us that
the reserves which were about to repair to Italy will
not set out. it is presumed that the Neapolitan
affairs will yet be settled. This report, disseminated
generally lure, has effected a rise in the Austrian
food., which for a fortnight past bad experienced a
continual decline; Bank Actions have risen, as also
Rothschild's shares. Mousy persons think that the
noble uni•ude of the Neapolitans, and' lite conduct
of the Prince Regent, at once discreet and firm,
bate made it be telt that the invasion of the king-
dom of Naplro can only be attended with fatal con.
sequences, mid that time interest of the respective
States imperiously demands the maintenauce of
peace.

LORD COCHRAN E.

It has mot been stated in the accounts brought by the
Hyperion which hare bees published in the London Journals,
that Lord Cochrane was amended in the affair of the cap.
ture of the Emeralds. We bare been favoured, from a re-
spectable source, with the following extract of a letter dated
Callao December 12, which counting an account of the
number of killed and woonded on both sides, together with
Dome particulars of his Lordship's gallant conduct spun
that occasion, which are in keeping with the eharaeter of
that brave and enterprising officer, and cannot fail to be ex-
tremely gratifying to his countrymen

" A Portuguese schooner from Msraulutni was plus).
dered by an Insurgent privateer, who cut away
her mainmast, off S.. John's, Manauhusn. Au Ame-

A letter from Brussels, dated 2id March, says :
"Many of the principal inhabitants of Colberg have
resolved to petition the King of the NETHERLAND/
for the head of the celebrated SHILL, which is

tory at Leyden ; they intend to erect a mounmeot
at their expense to the wewory of this heroic ps-
triot."
We have just received intelligence, upon which
we pledge our faith, that the most violent discus-
sions have taken place in both the Houses of Par-
liament at Hanover. The Ministers have been
obliged to interpose the royal auJiurity, and have
dissolved the Chambers Our coiresponderst adds.,
that this measure is owing to the great difficulty
felt by the King's Ministers to offer a satisfactory
reply to the propositions made ou the part of the
Senate. He adds, that there exists a spirit among
the middling classes, which looks with anxiety to
the abolition of the frivilrges of the Nobilsty.

words, " Die hochster spannairg" (the highrst

The Earl of Fire, it is said, has been dismissed
from his office in the household of the KING, and
Lord LOVA IN Z has been appointed to his place, for
the honest vote his Lordship gave in Parliament I'4
the repeal of the Malt Duty Act. It is, indeed,
lamentable to see the Ito)al authority converted to
such uses by sus Administration, who skier by this
measure that even the personal friends of his MA-
.II WY must be sacrificed to their purposes, and tor
an act, too, which will endear the Noble Earl to his
country, as well as all those persons whose statues
are found w that majority.—(,llorniag Chronicle.)
