Extract from ZI Olieroador of St. Jags..." Private let-
ter from Corunna. dated July so:—' The counter revo-
lution has just broken out—it presents an alarming as-
pact; but we hope the arrival of 4,000 men, sent to the
borders of the Aligner, whey. the confederacy has taken
place, wlll dispel all fears. This event has had such an
influence on all minds_, that scarcely 300 men mustered
in the ranks of the National Guard out of 1,200 men
who had inscribed themselves. Agar (the political
Chief of the Province) instantly convoked the ancient
Constitutional Junta of Government, and it is said that
he has drawn his sword from the scabbard. God grant
that a movement similar to that which he has ellected
here slay not take place else Where, or we may yet retro-
grade. The lumber of peasantry in inutrrecioni on the
basdamat the Ming! is !LW% all armed with
muskets, and lief, prOvided with ammunition."
Rowe JULY 20.—(Extrac qf a pirate ietirr.)—A
revolt took place at Ponte•Carvo (a town i.eloitiog to
the Pope, within the limits of the kingdom of Naples)
on the 4th inst.: the physiciatt„ the surgeon, and the
apothecary of the town, were at the head of it; they
called to their aid the Neapolitan militia, under the orders
ofCastella, and expelled the Governor. The same thing
has happened at Benevento. Three gendarmes were
assassinated in the streets; the others, cotisisting of about
40 men retired to the castle. The Patriots, amounting
to 7,000, (although the classes in easy circumstances do,
not interfere in the insurrection,) then hoisted the tri-
coloured flag; they were commanded by a man named
Velianto, au ex-commissary of War. The Popes Delo.
gate quitted Benevento on the I nth instant, after having '
made a formal protest. The gendarmes concluded a ca-
pitulation with Velianto, who signed it:—" Organise-
/erre del Cailvitaridi Benevento."
The Archbishop Cardinal Spinucci, aged 82, refused
to order Te Denys to be eh:milted on the occasion.—
Velianto repaired to Naples, and" solicited the incorpo-
ratio,' of Benevento, but he received a negative. The
government caused a proclamation to be issued, in which
it disavows all intervention in the affairs of the neigbour-
tug powers Benevento and Rime Corvo are in a state
ofeoniplete anareay.
The fullotving proclamation has been published at
