LON I)ON,
THURSDAY, MARCH 29, MI.

-----
It way confidently reported last night that Lord
CAtTLIMAGH hod received dispatches born our
Minister at Turin, announcing a counter-revolu-
tion in Naples. It was also stated, as a set-off

against this never, that schiers had been received
of the defeat of the Austrians, with great loss in
killed, wounded, and prisoners.

The following intelligence was received in town
yesterday by express front Paris, dated as of
five o'clock an Monday afternoon
" I lose so time I. in/obtain/ pen, that diem Is at Wm
awarattat a coaidest report .a 'Change that the Austrians am
IN Naples.
" The funds have, in consequence, risen from 75 t. 10 e. to
77 f. tO c. They ham bees as high us 77 f. 50e."
. _ .

We look upon this report as a stock-jobbing
trick, deigned to counteract the effects of the
previous rumour respecting an alleged defeat of
the Austrians near Rome. The funds had fallen
in Pariaminaailse supposed defeat of the Austrians,
but they wens to have risen with the imaginary
triumph of the Imperial arms. The report is one
that does not display much ingenuity in the fabri-
cation, for it contains no circumstance whatever
to lend it • plausible air of. probability. The
statement does not specify the date of this Un-
portaut event, or by what branch of the Austrian
army it was accomplished, whether by the division
under General GOIPPERT, or by the mans body
under the immediate direction of Count FRIIIONT
himself. Jt is equally silent respecting the means
or channel by which the account reached Paris, or
rather, indeed, the Exchange of Paris, where
alone it seems to have had any existence. We
have of late been so inundated by false statements
respecting the affairs of Italy, all coming ‘, by
express from Paris," that we ire bound to treat
every account that does not appear clothed with
some official character with a more than ordinary
degree of distrust.
We know from the date of the first Austrian
bulletin that the main body of the Austrian army,
under Gene•al FRIMONT, was stationed at Fras-
cati on the 12th of this month. Now, supposing
that the march from Frascati to Naples was wholly
unimpeded by a hostile army, it would occupy at
the least five or six days to accomplish it. An
Austrian army was never celebrated for the rapidity.
of its movements, and it cannot be doubted that
the circumstance of its marching through au.
enemy's country, and probably in the presencaof
a formidable army, under General CAIRAOCOSA,
must considerably impede its progress. The roads,
too, us we understand, were all broken up by
the Neapolitans, so that if the Austrian army
married from Frascati on the 14th, whoa
must be the date of its earliest movelieulit;:
it could not be expected, supposing even that
General CARRAKOSA offered no opposition, os
terposed no difficulties, to reach Naples sooner than
the 20th or 22d of this month. If this calculation
be nearly correct, we into.t conclude tt
least extremely improbable !list the account
capture of Naples by the Austrian army
Hera' FRISIONT could have been Ono,
five o'clock on the evening of the 26th.
observations apply with still greater force
vision of the army which, under General
had entered the Abruzzi, and which

counter more serious dufFrrulties in its

from the nature of the country RAM

MISS MACA ULE Y.

FROM A

Darn]

-

Miss Macauley, we ■re happy to find, is doing extremely
well in her new and arduous undertaking at the European
Saloon, in King street, It. James's. Her recitation., mu-
sical and dramatic, are calculated to improve the taste of
the age, and to check the idle attempts which have been
made to form what is ridiculously termed ■ new school in
the histrionic art. Hers is the school of Siddons and of
Kemble ; the school of nature ; the school of nature and of
art combined; the school of all that is truly great and ex-
cellent in theatrical display. In support of this opinion ue
need only to adduce her delineation of sternness and en-
treaty, i■ the setae between Hubert Lod Prism Arthur,
from ling Jaw, and that of grief, in the lamentatioes of
Lady Conetauee, from the same play. In these two efforts
Miss Macauley evinces more of the spirit, of the spirit free
from imitation, of Mrs. Siddons, than any 'memo we item
witnessed. Her comic powers are also shove Mediocrity;
and in 'slims, like Xemble and Mrs. Siddosis, she enlist
evidently have studied the divest models of satitipey. He-
thing could be more correct. more graceful, MOM delight-
folly picturesque, than Me manner is which she gave the
use Ode of Alezawarees Feast, with Handers music, which
has been arranged expressly for this occasion. Her " Lord
Min's Daughter" is a piece, too, the performance of
which mast ever fix both the ear and the eye of the specta-
tor. The applause which Miss Macauley experienced was
commemorate with her exertions. Her noble patroae•Rss
were present : and both pit sod boxes were filled with as
respectable an audience as we ever witnessed.

ENGLIsH OPERA HOUSE.

A new enteitainment, appropriate to the sensor,
was introduced at this Theatre last night. It was
entitled " A Lecture upon the Structure of the
Universe;" but this title conveys a very inadequate
idea of its various excellence. Astronomy is the
most sublime and interesting of all the sciences.—
As far as clear and perspicuous language, delivered
in the most impre►sive and emphatic style, could
cOO% ey an instructive lecture upon it last night,
Mr. BARTLtY'a exertions are entitled to the highest
praise; in manner and delivery he left nothing in
be wished for, and received universal applause.
This, however, was only a part of the entertain.
menu. The extended scenery and varied mechan-
ism by which the lecture was illustrated, gave it id I
the charms of a beautiful spectacle. The wind-
solar system, the motions of the heavenly bodies,
and the phenomena of eclipses, tide«, &c. were all
submitted to the eye in a perfect model of more
than ordinary compass. It was not a mere expld-
►motion of the elements of the science, but one r•ti.
tering. into minute end most interesting details.
No youthful mind cult witness a scene like this
without improvement, and it is one in which ul
ages must feel delight. The great pains and ex-•
prose bestowed upon this enteituimueut deserve
liberal encouragement.
