LONDON, NIONDAY, FERRUARY 19.
Tierce o'clock, p tn.

Despatches by express have arrived, with the im-
portant intelligence that the main division of the
Austrian army, consisting of sixty thousand men,
broke from its quarters on the 29th ult on the right
bank of the Po, with orders to march on Naples.—
The intelagence in the French Papers from Frank-
lyn mentions the crossing of din river by the Aus-
trians, but yet it does not :mticipate war, though it
is said, the military OCCUpaqun of the Peninsula is
determined upon by the Allies. This is most
alarming and revolting information fur the liberty
and independence of the Continent, and the peace
and happiness of Europe. The express received
mentions that a manifesto has been issued, announc-
ing the invasion will not be made by Austria as a
separate power, but as a member, and in the name
of the Holy Alliance. On that basis all intention
is disclaimed of occupying Naples with a view of
territorial aggrandisement, but solely for the purpose
of dictating such form of constitution to the Neapo-
litans as may be consistent with the safety of their
neighbours. Never was there a greater outrage
offered to the feelings of a nation, nor one that calls
more for a firm, a determined, and taanly resistance.
An outline of the tbrin of government meant to be
imposed as the ultimatum of the Allied Powers has
been dispatched to Naples fur the consideration of
the Parliament, who will be allowed tt very short
period, some letters say only two days, to deliberate
on the proposition. Meantime the Austrian army
will advance to !tome, to receive the answer of the
Neapolitan Tarliament. The proi.osition to the
Parliament of Naples is signed by the Emperors of
Russia and Austria, and the King of Prussia. It
is mentioned, but we feel disposed to withhold our
credence on that bead, that the name of the King
of,Naples is also affixed to it. Thus, after a peace
of six years, the flame of war is wantonly on the eve
of being re-kindled in Europe and if Naples should
possess the power, which we sincerely hope she has,
of bearing up against Austria, it may be long before
it is again extinguished. It may, however, afford
a lesson to Allied Sovereigns, not to meddle with
the internal affairs of other countries, and produce
those precise efkets in their own dominions, which
they arc so very anxious to avoid.

INSTALLATION of the PORTUGUESE CORTES.

Lisa" J. 25.—T0-day the Deputies to the
Cartes assembled, in order to arrange, in this pre-
paratory meeting, the preliminary steps to the In-
stallation, which is fixed fur to-morrow. The first

Deputies to the Hall of Session to instal the Cortes;
after the installation, the Government will
draw, remaining in the exercis.; of its functions, till
the Cortes have named a new Government, that
there may be nu interregnum.
Luaus, JAN. W.—This morning, at ten o'clock,
the Deputies of the Cortes being assembled in the
majestic church of St. Mary, solemn mass began,
accompanied by the must select vocal and instru-
mental music, at the same moment a flight uf sky-
rockets gave the signal, and immediately the Castle
of St. George, and the fumes es, the ships of war,
and all the vessels in the river, which were adorned
with flags, fired a Ruyul salute, which was repeated
when the Deputies proceeded to take the oath on
the Holy Gospels in the following words:—

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12.

His Majesty has visited both of the Theatres, and
one of the worst of Tory papers says, with perfect
non-eludance, " We understand that it is his Ma-
jesty's intention to gratify his subjects by appearing
frequently among them"—if so, " Farewell, a long
farewell, to all their greatness"—The Tory news-
papers, and their infamous supporters, may truly
exclaim, " Othello's occupation's gone" the moment
the King allows himself to have a personal know-
ledge of those who hare been malignantly misrepre-
sented to him. The great Peter of Russia, whose
many eccentricities found a full excuse in the fact
that they originated in a desire to serve those he
was destined to govern, used frequently to go out
entirely unattended and in disguise—in one of
these nocturnal perambulations he became the
inmate for the nighty of a cottage, where, in the
course of the evening.; in con‘ersalion wiJi his host,

Mr. S. WORTLEY thought that slieritis ought not to

A meeting was on Friday evening convened,
according to public advertisement, in the parish
church of St. Luke, to consider the propriety of
presenting a congratulatory address to her Majesty.
The meeting was appointed for five o'clock, but pre..
vious to its being held, the curate of the parish (in
the absence of the rector) sent a note to the church-
wardens, Messrs. Lias and Lee, admonishing them
nut to convene the meeting, and directing them to
deliver up the, keys of the church "on pain of eccle-
siastical libel." The churchwardens, in defiance of
the threat, directed the sexton to deliver the keys to
them, and he obeyed their orders. The church was
opened at the hour appointed, and the senior
churchwarden, Mr. U.'s, presided at an extremely
full and respectable meeting. A congratula'ory
address was then voted to her Majesty, and an
address to his Majesty, praying him to dismiss his
ministers, and two petitions to Parliament praying
the restoration of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy.
These were agreed to with unanimity, and the
'pectin br,ke up at about nine o'clock.

is said that 1,500 francs in gold, two razors, and a
packet of poison were found on his person.
Pants, Fret. 6.—Certain Journals for the last
month repeat every morning, that the l)uke de
Gallo, littister for Foreign Affairs of Naples, who
fidlowed King Ferdinand to Laybach, had ret eived
an order to stop on the way : that he had been in-
terdicted from passing the frontiers of the Austrian
territories ; anti, finally, that it had been intimated
to him he must not appear at Laybach. All these
assertions are alike contrary to truth. It is true
that the Austrian officer who commands at Mantua
prevented the Duke tie Gallo from continuing on his
route ; but upon the complaint addressed to Lay-
bach by the latter, a courier extraordinary carried
back to the Commandant at Mantua an order to
suffer the Neapolitan Minister to pass. At Goritz
the same difficulties presented themselves. They
were removed in the same manner. Thus the Duke
de Gallo is now with the Kinikof Naples at the
Congress of Laybach.
Prince Ruff° has not resumed the portefeuille, as
the same journals have stated.
In the Chamber of Deputies a petition wss pre-
sented from M. Simon Larieres, chief of battalion
at Paris, who complained of being discharged with..
out allowance, and of being struck off from the list
of the army. He prayed that the Chamber might
take steps to have him restored to his rank, or put
him on his trial. He had been put on half-pay at
the disbanding of the army at the Loire. Fourteen
years of active service, and 13 years of campaigns,
a step in rank gained on the field of battle in 18 i 4,
gave him, lie said, an incontestible right to the al-
lowance which was then given him. He had re-
ceived a letter from the minister of war, dated
Sept. 16, 1820, in which his Excellency gave him
notice—" that according to a representation made
to the King of his repeehenxible conduct, and of the
principles in opposition to government which he
professed, his Majesty had pronounced his discharge
without allowances, and struck him off from the
rolls of the officers of the army." All his efforts to
be reinstated in his rank had proved abortive, and
he now applied to the Chamber for redress. The
petitioner added—" My principles are my own pro-
perty, and as long as I do not express them in ex-
ternal acts, nobody has a righr to be offended with
them, even although they may be in opposition to
those of the government. Opposition sentiments '
belong to the essence of a representative govern-
ment." A long debate ensued on this petition, in
which the ultras on both sides took part. The speech
of M. Etienne, against ministers in this affair, was
in general lively and spirited, and in some passages
highly striking and eloquent. He argued that such
treatment as this officer had been subjected te, was
to render the disbanded troops dangerous. " Will
you, ' said he, " permit him to wear epaulets of
honour, or the rags of poverty ?" The order of the
day was passed on this petition.

Mr. Clark prayed the judgment of the Court on the
defendant who was fuund godly at the last ‘Varwiek
Assizos of telling the ninth number of " The Re-
publican."
111 r. Justice Best read the indictment.

I'ue defendant put in an afbotas it, in w hich ne stated
that he believed that his punishment had been itiereiiid,
when he received sentence on a limner occ.Wion, far a
similar Offence, by its having been then charged against
him that there was another prosecution FR:toiling against
him.
_ _ .

The Chief Justice obrerved—" I do not I.:1101V why he
states that. We don't allow one prosecution to a,twavate
the punishment following another.
Mr. Denman addressed the Court for the defendant,
who, he said, had been under an impression that the
circuitiqatices of a second prosecution had increased the
punishment inflicted for the find offence. Toe defen-
dant considered the terms of the libel indefensible, and
lie mach. nu defence at his trial. That circumstance
might induce tile Court to LAI lenit:Ol. Punisl.mu•at
had produced the desired etlitct with respect to the de.
fendaut, who had lust his shop, Ina trade, and his health.
His family, consisting of a wife atid four children, were
also in distrea.

Mr. Justice Bayley, passing jiii!,,,mient, said, " you
have been convicted of a libel, and it is one, I in .y
venture to say, of the most mischiet MN, wicked, and
pernicious tendency that ever proceeiled front the pen of
man. Taking the circumsiances of the case under c.m-
sideration, the character of the libel, and the evil ten-
dency it has, the Court, in the duly it has to discharge
for the benefit of the public, do order and adjudge that
youi be imprisowil in the house of correction, Culdbath-
fields, fur twelve calendar months."
The defendant asked whether it was to be in solitary
confinement.
Mr. Justice Bayley said the Court made no order on
that subject. The thiial rule would be observed.

Nlonbers of the Government, and the Deputies,

lively acclamations of the immense multitude which
thronged to witness this august oration.
A battalion had leen poyted at the entrance of

being alrc my crowded with spectat t.s. The Mem-
bers of the Government took their scats on the
right of the President's chair; and on the left,
and remaining places on the right, the preparatory
Junta of the Cortes. The Archbishop of Bahia
acted as President, and the Deputy Felgueiras as
Secretary. All being seated, and silence made, the
most illustrious Count de Sampayo delivered, in a
clear and impressive voice, an eloquent and appro-
priate discourse.
When his speech, which was generally applauded,
Was concluded, his Excellency declared the Cortes
to be installed ; and the president thanked the go-
vernment, in the name of the nation for its labours
in so arduous a crisis. The members of the govern-
ment then withdrew; and those who were deputies
went and took their scats as such. _ _ _

The election of the president tuilowed ; the choice

TOLL ON BLACEF.RIARS BRIDGE.

Thursday a meeting was bell! at Wizard's Hotel,
Great Surrey-street, for the purpose of publicly consi.
deriug the propriety of taking steps on the part of the
inhabitants of Kent and Surrey, of preventing a horse
and carriage toll from being levied upon illackfriars-
bridge.
At one o'clock, tlitre being several gentlemen of pm.
perty present, Mr. Lett was called to the chair. lie
undertook that office but temporarily, having to attend
another meeting upon the same subject. Shortly after
he resigned the chair to another gentleman, previously
declaring his entire concurrence in the object of the
meeting.
Mr. Mavatore opened the business of the day, by
stating that the City of London had recently presented
a petition to parliament for leave to bring in a bill for
levying a toll upon all horses, carriages, and cattle,
passing over Black friars-bridge, by an:, establishment of
which lie considered a great injury would be inflicted
upon that very large portion of the public who had pro.
perty at the Surrey side of the water. Among many
other reasons of couver.iv nee which he urged against
the projected measure were the following, which were
embothed in a printed paper, intended to be sent to
parliament as contaMing a digest of the reasons which
were considered as conclusive against the Mil. •
That if the proposed new toll was established, there
would be three distinct tolls payable within two utiles
south of the bridge; in addition to the present city toll
on all non-freemen'scarts, &c.
That in conseywnce of the great traffic over the
bridge, a toll gate or bar thereon, would occasion a con.
stain stoppage and great inconvenience, if not frequent
dander to the public.
That such proposed toll would also be highly injuri-
ous to the public markets in the vicinity of the bridge.
That the estates of the City of London are much
improved in value, by the erection of the bridge, said
their met:ones are daily increasing to a very considerable
extent, by the great number of houses recently built,
and now building, in lilackfriars-road and the neigh.
bourhood of St. Georges Fields, so that in addition to
the reason first above stated, it is conceived the City of
London ought to repair the bridge out of their own
funds, and not attempt to occasion such an unnecessary
expellee and annoyance to the public as that IlaW
posed.
Nlr. Meyrnott wis followed by Mr. lianas, who
equally complained of the conduct of the City of Lou-
don, in attempting to palm upon Surrey and Kent (for
that would he the tiit'CL of LI toll) the expellees of repair.
ing the bridge.
The Rev. Rowland hill, Nit% Walsh, and many other
Gentlemen, took a part in the business of the day, and
the result was the adoption of a string of Resolutions,
and the declaration of a determination to petition Parlia-
ment, if the Corporation of London were determined tu
persevere with their hill.
An Ukase of the Emperor of ltussia has been pub-
lished at Warsaw, ordering a levy on the kingdom
of Poland of 4,000 conscripts, to ompletothe ratty.

LAIV INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
viEDIVIAIDAY, 111111.
THII LING 0. HUNT.

The defendant in this case was the proprietor of The
Examiner weekly newspaper, and the present was an in-
formation filed against him by the Attorney General
for a libel inserted in that paper, on the 24th of July
last, reflecting on the House of Luminous.
The alleged libel, af;er describing the majority of the
members as greedy place-hunters, pensioners, and needy
adventurets,osserted that the house contained a far greater
number of public criminals than public guardians, &c.
This was the libel complained of.
The A.turney General stated the Case to the Jury, and
urged the usual topic as to the mischievous tendency of
such publications as that now brought under their con-
sideration. He disclaimed any personal motives in this
prosecution. He now proceeded against the defendant
m the discharge of his public duty ; and having done
his duty, he now called on the Jury to discharge theirs.
The usual proof of publication, and of the defendant
being proprietor of the paper in question, was put iu.
The defendant then proceeded to address the Jury in
his own defence, and read a lour; written payer, in winch
he disclaimed any other motive than a wish to benefit
the public ; he denied that he had libelled the [louse of
Commons, or that he had any intention of villyirying or
degrading it he had only applied the same epti bets,
and given the same description of it as had previously
been done by :kir. Fox, NI r. Burke, and other great men,
and he contended that when the i•resent constitution of
the House of Commons was CollsidCred, %% hell it was
acknowledged that seats in that House were publicly
bartered and sold, and Mat a minister of the crown (lord
Castlereagh) had been proved to have participated iu
such practices, the description given was correct.—
After SOMc further observations, he declared he misted

confidently to the Jury to do justice by their verdict to
the motives which had actuated his conduct on this
occasion.
The Chief Justice in summing up commented on the
nature and mischievous tendency of the publication in
question, and declared himself decidedly of opinion it
was a libel.
The Jury retired, and after being out some time they
came into Court and put a question to his Lordship, as
to the necessity of there being a proof of malice to con-
stitute the offence
The Chief Justice said, the motive of a man's act
must be inferred from the effect which his act was likely
to have. If a man W.15%111114 to do au act which might
in effect cause the death of another, he must be pre-
sumed to have malice in his heart.
The Juty again retired,and in a few minutes returned
with a verdict of Guilty.
London, England, 1821-08-13

defendant would have an opportunity of correcting bisjudg-
ment in the Court of Kiii4 :tench, and with that view he
would reserve the question, iu order that the point might be
filially settled.
The Jury expressed great reluctance in finding a verdict
fur the plaintiff, but in deference to his Lordship's opinion,
in point of law, they felt themselves bound to find a verdict
for the plaintilf.—Penalty...sl..

The lithium.. on this side finished to day, at twelve o'clock.
In the crown court there was nothing worth mentioning.
YORK.

AUGUST 6.—Mr. Justice liayly went to the Guildhall at
nine o'clock this morning, and charged the city Grand Jury.
In the muse of half an hour the Grand Jury returned true
bills apainst the two prisoners in the calendar, and the court
immediately proceeded to their trial.
FORGBR Y.-Mr. Pollock opened the case, and Mr. Sin-
. . . . . . .

•
clair, the Recorder of York staled the circumstances to the
Jury.—Richard Young, a private in the 19th lancers, had,
on the sth of May last, called at the banking office of Messrs.
Nilson, Tweedy, and Co. and stated that Major Skelton,
his commanding ollker, was unable to leave his room in
consequence of a fall he had had from his horse, and wished
nn order to be dr.' w n upon Messrs. Greenwood, Cox, and Co.
in London, for SOL and to he sent to him for signature.—
This was done, and the prisoner returned in about half an
hour with " 11. Skelton' signed to the order. The money
was paid to the prisoner. Messrs. Greenwood, Coi, and
Co. refused to honour the order on the ground of forgery.—
The prisoner was apprehended in Leeds, when he confessed
the forgery. The prisoner was acquitted upon the indict-
ment, because the final letter in the signature appeared to be
in, and nut a, as charged in the indictment.

Extract from another letter, same date.

" Until two o'clock it was understood that his Majesty
,would
sail for Dublin at four o'clock in the afternoon, but at 2 o clock,
p.m. it was announced that his Majesty would land ; and imme•
diatcly the beach and all the avenues leading to it were crowded
with spectators.
At five o'clock his Majesty landed on the Pier, amid a royal
salute from two pieces of ordnance, planted before the Custom
House, and the ships of the squadron. Immediately upon his
landing on the Pier, Sir John Stanley, accompanied by a depu-
tation of the inhabitants, presented his Majesty an address of
congratulation on his arrival, to which his Majesty answered :
•• That lie received with peculiar pleasure this affectionate and
loyal Address of a Principality, the title of which he had borne
during so long a portion of his life."
The spectators cheered his Majesty in the most enthusiastic
manner. The carriage of the Marque. of Anglesca was in at-
tendance, and his Majesty set off for Plasncwydd, the Alarques's
beat, followed by several other carriages, and by u procession of
the people at least a mile long. The ;Marqueti s scat is 27 miles
hence.

His 11Iaje4y. at present intends to sail for Ireland to-morrow,
at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Ilu Majesty is in perfect health and spirits.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT BOULOGNE.
Ammar 8, 1821.—Some friends being assembled
and at tea in the drawinrroom, in the house of Mr.
Webster Wedderburne, in this city, on Wednesday
evening last, a violent scuffle was heard in the par-
lour, when the company found that Mr. Webster
Wedderburne had stabbed his valet with a spring
dirk from a cane, in six different places. The man
has been taken the best care of possible, and the
Police are busily employed investigating this myste-
rious transaction. Mr. Webster Wedderburne quitted
Boulogne the same night. The situation of Lady
Frances Wedderburnc is truly lamentable—she re-
mains in the house with two infant children, and is
again in a state of pregnancy.

WASHINGTON, JULY 12. - The President of the
United States has sufficiently recovered from his
late indisposition to have been able to leave the city
yesterday for his seat in Loudoun county, Virginia,
distant about SO miles from this city.
A new minister to the United States, Don Joa-

a successor to General Vives, and may be daily
expected.
It is officially announced that the yellow fever has
mad its appearance in Baltimore at this early season
of the year. In their publication the Board of
Health of that city appear to take it for granted
that the disease is of home origin, and found a hope
of exemption front its ravages on copious rains,
and the temporary fluctuation of the thermometer.
At a public celebration of the 4th of July in
Philadelphia, the declaration of independence was

MONDAY. APRIL 16.
We have received the Paris papers of Wed-
nesday last. A report prevailed at Vienna that the
Russian army, on its march for Upper Italy, having
become dispoieable in consequence of the recent
events in that country. would be employed against
Spain. This report is not very probable, but it
skews what the people of Vienna think of their
Sovereign and his Imperial Ally. Spain, if as much
in their power as Naples, would equally feel their
vengeance.

A most important petition has been presented by
Mr. Lambton from Lyme Regis, complaining that
the right of voting which belonged to all the resident
freeholders had been usurped by about thirty per-
sons, who were under the direct influence of a cer-

in the election of a Member of the House of Com-
