LONDON, MONDAY, JAN UARY 15.
Three o'Clock, p m.
The Paris papers of Wednesday and Thursday
la:t Lave arrived, but their eantents arc unimportant.
The King enjoys grod bath, and transacts busi-
ness with his Ministers, but does nut leave his
palace, a lett r from Trieste, dated the 26th ult.
states, that the celebrated Douche, Duke of Otranto,
fOrmerly confidential Minister of Police tinder Boo-
naparte, died the day before, at his residence in that
city. The King of Narks, attended by his Minister
fir Foreign Affairs, the Duke de Gallo, was at Mo-
dena oa the 31st of December, anal was expected to
arrive ut Laybach on the Sth instant. The Par.
liament of Naples has decreed the accusation of the
x-Ministers Zurlo and Campochiaro. The French
Journals evidently have been lately rest rained front
indulging in their indecorous and abusive observa
tions on the Spanish anal Neapolitan Revolutions
and we have therefore reason to believe that the
measures contemplated by the Allied Monarchs ut
Laybach agaia:•.t Naples, arc not, authorized nor
sanctioned by either the Brisish of French Cabinets.
Indeed we cannot conceive hori any Representative
Government could for a moment countenance such
proceedings. It is the characteristic of Dcsrotic
Governments to attack the liberty and independ-
ence of other nations, and whenever they succeed it
is a great misfortune f,r the happiness of mankind.
ztuain, Naples, and Portugal, we hope will triumph
over the machinations of despotism.

Advises from Naples to the 23d ult. confirm the
a-counts published in the French journals of the mar
tality that has taken place among the Austrian
farces in Italy. A species of episuelie had been
partieelarly fate! to the horses, which were dying
kakreds. These advises communicate the
proceedings of the Nutional Parliament on the 18th
December, the Ilgys on whkh the Prince Regent,
utter havingltillett the oaths to the new constitution,
opined the %ion with which his new authority
teas to commence. A lively debate took place oe
the reading a despatch horn the Minister of War
relative to a demand made by some of the deputies
of Parliament to be exempted from service in the
National Guard during .the continuance of the sea.
Sian; but, on taking the Votes, the claim of exernp
thou was refused. A discussion also folk place en
the project of a law fur the abolition of feudal rights
in S.eily, which was agreed to, with lane ludas-
portant modifications; and it was ordered that the
provincial deputies should co-op,rate wall the local
magistrates in carrying it into execution.
The King. of Naples was not espceted to arrive at
Lay bach till the Bth instant. The Emperor of
Austria was to leave Vienna on the 2d, and the
Emperor Russia un the 3d, on their way to Laybach.
It is said that all the Italian courts have been in-
vited to send thither Ministers.
Madrid papers to the 31st ult. arrived yesterday.
Considerable disturbance took place in that capital
on the 28th and 29th, though witlamt soy actual
outrage or riot, in consequeneece of the determina-
tion of the Patriotic Societies to meet, in defiance
of the ordors of Government. On the 30th, how-
ever, they were prevented from again assembling by
a military terse.
It appears by the Spanish Papers, that the Go-
vernment experiences some uneasiness from the in-
temperance manifested by sonic of the clubs. At
Madrid, it bus bocn found difficult to wake these
meetings conthrm themselves to the provisions esta-
blished by the Constitution, respecting periodical
meetings for the discussion of political subjects.—
This is one of the principal dangers to which newly
acquirctl powers expose men, who have been long
kept under un impolitic degree of restraint indeed,
it is not u single danger, fur their own passions urge
them on the one side, and their enemies never ing-
1. et to endeavour to excite them w illegal acts, that
such acts may furnish arguments for the old
older of thing. Even in countries more ,
en-
lightened than Spain, the enemies of freedom knuw
bow to employ emissuries far the purpose of urging
Wen to erhuts, that may furnish pretexts for the
exercise of powers unknown to the saws. Can we,
wonder, then, ut such proceedings in ennotlies
which have yet to learn the proper discipline ot a
well-regulated constitutiunal order oft hings ? •
