VIENNA., JANUARY 2R.

' - The following are some passages ol the last arti-
cle of the Austiiiin Observer respecting Naples,
dated from that city 18 h J•ou.iry .
" In the same propartiou as the public spirit in the pen.

this fermentation universal.

The Parliament and the Government have good rea-

them, ■nd plot■ ripe fur exectilion hive bees, disco,

soldiers is their nut being paid.
" No progress is made either in forming the Guardia di
Sicarez•_a or in dimming the people. In this dangerous
situation the eight battalions of the Neapolitan troops out
of the sixteen iu Sicily, which were to be recalled to defend
the kingdom of Naples, have received orders to remaia is
Sicily."

MESSINA, DECEMBER 28.

Our island is in great want of corn, and we re-
ceive continual supplies from Odessa. Palermo
has purchased 100,000 sacks of corn at Leghorn
and Genoa. The distress in the interior of Sicily
is great—and what is more, there seems to be little
hope of an improvement. Large tracts of land lie
wm.te. partly 08 account of the desolation which the
Pule.rtnitans carried with them wherever they came,
and partly on account of the rigour with winch the
al rears of taxes are levied, as the farmers are des-
titute of means to purchase seed-corn. The vin-
tage too was ►o poor this year that we have been
forced lo itopoit wine and brandy. whereas Sicily
tornsally exports large quantities. The shumac has
oleo failed, but the oil betlllB to have been very
abundaot.

FRANKFORT, FEBRUARY 4.

Several Mr.mbers of the Cutun►itter for the Af-
fairs of the Catholic Church have left this c►ty lur
the present, the Committee having arranged every
thing for the formation of the IBishoprick■ iu
South Germany. It is very fortunate that all the
States concerned have perfectly agreed on every
point. and have already fixed on their part every
thing fur the foundation of the live iii.huprieks, to
one of which archiepiscopal dignity is to be attach-
ed. In particular the endowments of the Btshopeicks
are said to be estahlidied, and at the same time
suitable and liberal provision tuaile fur the Ca-
tholic establishments. All the documents will be
immediately laid before the Roman Court, and at
they are drawn up in the inamier proposed by the
Pope, the Government huge that they will soon see
a happy conclusion to their exertioira, and be able
to agree with the Pope tis the tiutstmetions to the

great part of Germany will be restored. The negoci-

FRANKFORT, FEBRUARY 4.

Some of our Journals have stated that the Aus-
trian army iu Italy has already crossed the Po, but
it appears that this intelligence was premature. It

very shortly assemble on the batiks of that river,
and he ready to cross it the moment it shall receive
orders to that effect. It has been sfhrmrd that the
Duke de Gillis has been charged by his Sovereign

the highest importance, and it is asserted that the
answer may be received at Laybsch about the 10.1 i
