I. F IENCII PAPERY.
--.--

PARIS, FED. 19.—0 n the 6th inst. the Duke
of Gallo passed through Florence. Thus he will
not arrive at Naples till the 9th or 10th. The Par.
. hutment will not be assembled. It is then provable
that the answer to the ultimatum will not reach
Laybach till between the 20th and 25th.
,Priv!ite letters from Copenhagan mention, that on
the anniversary of the King's birth-day, a patrol of
hussars, excited to rage on supposing that certain
students in the streets uttered seditious cries, dis-
persed the young men at the point nt' the sword.—
. Four of diem were killed. The misunderstanding
arose from this, that the students cried out in Latin,
•'‘ Vont Res,' which the hussars did not under-
stand. The King has written to the University a
letter, in which he professes his protimnd regret at
the mistake that had happened, and thanks the stu-
dents for their good intentions.
Extract of a private letter :—" On the subject
of the late Petard explosions the Peers bit every day
from eleven to five, and how much longer they will
sit is uncertain. ‘Vhen the trials begin, the say
• they may last as long as the trial of Warren Hast-
ings. Colonel Fabrier is liherated, to the great
joy of all the friends of freedom. The Duke de
Broglie spoke warmly in his favour. It is non.
known that the Petards were made by the Court,
and every body declares that that Nereus throat
was not cut by himself."
PALERMO, JAN. 9.o.—The situation of Sicily is
far front being tranquil. There are daily squabbles

" My heart is sensibly toward with the marks of affection
which the Parliament has manifested awards me on all occasions
as well as to my family, and above all, with the cordial and re-
spectful manner with which the Parliament and the nation.
whose representatives you are, bass intrusted to the King. my
august father, the defence of tbs muse of its independence. I
garter myself that I shall soon be enabled to announce to you
that hit efforts have been crowned with a happy result. In the
meantime I can announce to you that his health, notwithstanding
his long journey in a rigorous meson. has not suffered any injury.
I have witnessed, with true satisfaction. what you have done to
improve our finances. to reorganise the army, and to place the
kingdom in a respectable state of defence."
After some other observations on the internal
state of the kingdom, his Royal Highness concluded
his speech in the following manner
1 see with pleasure that the Members of Parliament remain
at Naples; first, betause they will employ themselves in the
short interval between this and the approaching session in elating
preparations for the labours in which they are to be engaged
and, secondly. because they will be at hand, if. according to
circumstances and in obedience to the previsional of the constitu
tion, 1 should fad myself tinily: the necessity of requiring from
the permanent curninisaion an extraordinary convocation of the
Parhanient, wishing always is set in perfect concert with the
nation, and thus to ensure the confidence whic'a it reposes in
me."

M. de Cesaro answered his Royal Highness in a
style of high compliment and confidence, and enu-
nh:rated the different acts which the Parliament had
in the first session passed for the national order and
advantage.

TOLERATION.—A letter of the 27th January,
from Nlanheim, has the following:—" Last week,
in a rill ige about two leagues from this city, u Jew
died in the 109th year or his age. This respectable
old man, who during so lung a life had never beet:
engaged in a law suit, enjoyed the esteem of all the
inhabitants around him. At the moment when his
brethren were preparing to render the hot dutiea to
his remains, the mayor and p4xtur of the place caused
the church bells to ring, and in company with the
rest of the inhabitants, accompanied the tßyly to the
grave, where each pronounced a funeral eulogy
upon the body of the deceased, This homage to
toleration and virtue does equal honour to those who
°tiered it, and to him who was its object ; and acts
like this, wen! they leas rare, would be the surest
means of hastening the emancipation of the lsrae;ites
in Germany, and other parts of civilised Europe."

The Earl of Donoughmore has fixed the Atli of
March for the Catholic Question in the House Of
Lords. A new King and wt unpledged Parliament
were noticed by the Nubia Earl as two new circum-
stances itt its favour.

This was signed by two Powers on the Isth of
November, 18 18.
Now, by the Protocol itself, the meeting which
has taken place on the affairs of Naples, a state not
in the union, ought not to have been held, except at
the request of Naples Thus the High and Holy
Allies break the law they had laid down for their
own conduct, and this on the first opportunity !
As to the summoning the King of Naples to a.-
tend, with a view to avert hostilities, it is a nienstare
so out of all rules and propriety, that it requires no
commentary.
It is a subject of great consolation that England
has disclaimed being a party to the treaty, called the
treaty of the Holy Alliasce, although the other
parties have in all their proposals and declarations
spoken of the Five Great Powers. The ti.irmal as-
surance of the British Government to the contrary,
at once overthrows the paltry subterfuge of the
Allied Sovereigns, and satisfies us that Great Bri-
tain will maintain her diameter and preserve her
honour, while those who have dared to use her name
as a santion to their unjust proceedings are tlriging
beflire their inquisitorial bar an independent Sove.
reign, as if he were one of theif own vass,als. Per.
haps there never was a greater proof of the bl:ssings
of a free Constitution than that which is afforded by
the conduct °four Government on this occasion.

A new uniform has been ordered for the corps of
Gentlemen Pensioners, who are to assist at the
Corm' ition. It is to be uncommonly superb, and
consequently very expensive. The corps, it is said,
intend to put in their claim, to have their uniforms
found, without the great expense falling upon them-
selves individually. The Butfeliers, or Beef E.iters,
as they are vulgarly called, are also to have splendid
new dresses on the occasion of the Corona ioo.

Preparations are ni ilting at the front of the
Mansion House for an illuininarion on the night of
the IA of March, when the Queen is esreeted
be present at an entertainment to be given in the
Egyptian Hall.
A reduction, not of men, but of tiuie and mosey
from the workmen, has taken place in eh:abash and
Slit:crime dock.yntils.
