VIENNA, Juify rt.

Eagan! free me Pristete Loiter] pnblished is. a Belgic
Journal.
Sines the day on which the extraordinary courier
despatched by our Legation at Some brought here
the news of the revolution accomplished in Naples,
estaffettes from Italy have tepidly succeeded each
other, and their despatches have every day contri-
buted to augment the strong impremion which the
events passing in that country have produced amongst
us. Primo Metternich, after a conference with the
Emperor, repaired in great haste to this capital, to
give orders to the Aulic Chancellery, which supers
intenis tits gorsraissat of Italy ; once than great
has bass reametod in that department.
Orders have been despatched to all our Southern
provinces, and it is presumed that a military move•
ment is about to take place.
M. Campo Chairo, now Minister for Foreign
Affairs at Naples, is well known here. He was de-
puted to Vienna during the first Congress, and
defended with energy the interests of King Joachim.
Our Court Gazette is still silent on the affairs of
Naples, and the Austrian Observes is the only paper
which has woken in such a manner as to disclose
the views of our Cabinet on the revolution. The
article inserted in one of its numbers may be regarded
as official, as the editor, M. -Von Pilit, is Prince
Metternich's Private Secretary. It is needless to
describe the terms in whiCh it is conceived.: it is
sufficient to state, that it is full of that Monarchial
spirit which prepared the conventions of Carlsbad.
Our Government regards with the most lively
apprehension the events which are passing in Lower
Italy. The Carbonati are known to have been the
principal authors of the revolution, and the.r party
is very numerous in Upper Italy. It is feared that
the example given by the Neapolitans may become
epidemic. The police practices great vigilance in
in looking after the three colours, the distinctive
mark of the party which is so much dreaded. At
Milan and Venice the attention of the magistrates
has' been directed to a great number of persons who
wear tricoloured ribbons to their watches. A state
of mind is observed to prevail in Bologna, and other
towns of Lombardy, which is very unsatisfactory. It
is asserted that a great number of the officers of the
Sardinian army are Carbanari ; and that there are
secret associations in Genoa and Piedmont which are
employed in making a ents for changing the
existing order of thingsn:anietu'lls considered here that
Austria can by no means regard with indifference
the establishment of a new system in Italy, so con.
trsry to the spirit of her government and her political
views. It has been awned, that a numerous army
will soon be directed towards the country ; but to.
day some are of opinion that our government
will for the present confine itself to reinforcing the
corps in our Italian provinces, and the garrisons of
Lombardy.
The Pope having fallen dangerously ill, and the
report of his approaching death being craktuf, it
was at first announced that a corps of the dtustrilin
troops would immediately occupy the Stutes of the
Church, and take cantonments on the frontiers of
Naples; but the report is now Witilakted.

MIDDLESEX ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN.

On Tuesday a Meeting of Freeholders of the County of
Middlesex Was held at the Merinaicraverri, Heaney, to
consider the fierOrretelif ElktWs-ipg the Queiti, us well
as the measures contemplated by Parliament against her
Majesty. The large room was crowded before oneo'clock.
Amongst the company were several well-dressed females,
who took the greatest interest in the proceedings; and
they remained during the whole time, though the meeting
stied till near half•past five o'clock. It was about halt-I
pest one o'clock when the inure prominent parties to the
meeting entered the ruuro. Souse Members of the Coin.
mittee with white woods entered the room, and were
followed by Mr. Sheriff Petkins, attired in a Coot t dress,
Mr. Alderman Wood, with the venerable Dr. Parr, lean-
ing on his arm, Mr. S. Whitbread, M. l'., Mr. P. Moore,
N. P., Etc.
Mr. Sheriff Paeites opened the business of the Meet-
ing, and directed his Under Sheriff (Pullen) to read the
Requisition. which was signed by 6S Freeholders.
Mr. P. !Roosts: then stepped forward, and said he
shook! have signed the Requisition had he known of itS
being in agitation. He should always be happy to meet
the Middlesex Freeholders; and be was glad they had so
Patriotic * Sheriff to couiply with their wishes. !there
were not always Patriotic Sheriffs, Mayors, and Magis-
trates. Had not an accident on the road befallen some
of those who were expected, the duty of proposing the
Resolutions would have fallen into abler bawds. 'flue
subject which they had to consider was the noisome,
pesliferious, filthy green bag. (k laugh.) The Queen—
anti God protect lier—(ininieuse litirsas)—the Queen—
and God protect her--(eheers, and cries of Amen)—was
not the only object of consideration now; for in Winging
her rights in question, their's were put in issue; and iu
defending her tights they were only defending ;heir own.
The Bull of Pains and Penalties, which he thought might
be more properly called a Bill of Falsehoods and Prop-
ries—(applanse );—if that Bill passed, he should consider
it a disgrace to set Not in the House of Counnons. There
Would then be an end of what lie should call law. Butt
be lied still hope from the Representatives of the People
—fur the People, after all, were the main stays I arid if
those Representativis did nut go into Parliament to pro-
tect the people's rights, it would be better to be without
a House of Cut ))))) ons. As a Member of the House, he
fled seen many green bags. This last accursed green hag
way only a prolongation of the green bag system, which
began with Ms. l'itt ; and if it continued, it would de-
stroy the Constitution. For the last twenty years lie
opposed the monstrous green bags, both in and out
of Parliament; for the Green Bags and the Civil List
were equally the means of severe and corrupt measures.
this ~stance his Majesty, who had.as good heart as

Le .
over was formed, was kept in ignorance. He lamented
teis—but the green bags had been the ground work of
ak sorts of vile measures. Persons had been sent to pri-
SOH Oil their information and their liberties had been
suspended on like authority. When this. last green hag
was presented; his language in the House was this—and
it raised alarm—reaming from other green bags, lie
thought they might save themselves t the tremble of ap-
pointing a Select Co 'Reef they might as well turn the
peen bag upside down, and write. " ou it.—
(Cheers.) A worthy and Patriotic Baronet,—(cries of,
where is he?)—lnd lurid similar language. But in the
Commons • pause had been obtaiued. They smelt it
there, and they found it foul, rather foul.—(A laugh.)
—The pause, however, was obtained, and it, has dune
good. Still, hoWever, there was the Bill, and if it
passed, away went their Gude of Laws ; they would
then have to Immo' that they did not iiterfere sooner.—
In the House of Lairds they were going loin eve the Pre-
amble of the Bill, as if they had got a commou Iticlusdrw
or Canalitill t and a celebrated Judge amongst themfiad
slid, that the Queen was entitled to no more consideration,
than die humblest individUal in the countly. •He Would
fain lassie with the Noble and Learned Lord—but let her
Majesty have as • much considerition.(Applause).—At
stupid Batley proceeding there would be grand rind petty
Juries, the huttetment with the charges specified, the
names of the witnesses on the back, ice. [Here Sir F.
limdell and Mr. lioblmuse entered the room *midst great
applause.] . The absence of the Grand and Petty Jury
might be excused—but he could not ractise the absence
of the prosecutor : who was the accuser? Let an accuser
step forward. The charges castle from those who had pur-
sued the Queen since 1800. He concluded wish observing,
that the question of' the Queen was important, as it en-
abled them to look at their own rights. Let them protect
the laws, and they would protect the Queen ; anti in doing
so they would show theinselvele to be Britons worthy Its
such a Queen —(Applause.) He proposed a series of Re-
solutions condoling with ;he Queen, and recommending
an Address to her Majesty.
1)r. baits seconded the Resolutions, Mr. P. Moore
observing fur Ii i iii , that all 110110111 able or imperil of the
Church, Dr. Parr, begged lease to second the Rcsolu-
tious. (Applause..
Mr. Minus objected to the statement in the Resolutions
that the Government consisted of a " limited Muaarchy"
it consisted of the King, who was b Iby oath to act
according to the laws, a limited Aristocracy, and a h-
eisted Democracy. (ficar.) He knew that hlr.o • g
and Utiirla were iu the habit of calling the Ministers the
Golfer' ttttt ; but they wei eno mote the (lover ttttt ent
than Writ! his Majesty's groom.. (Laughter and applause.)
The Restitutions was alteied to obviate this objec •
Ate Address was soles wants agreed to, and the sheriff,
the Members for Miudleses, and a Deputation of Free-
hinders, ate so peeseut it.
MI TUueMPSON desired that the Sheriff would give
amble notice of the time and place of the Meeting to pro-
ceed with the Address. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Wfareertean said, that lie should most cheerfully
comply with their wishes. Those who stood forward for
the Queen were assailed with the old cry of debiting to
raise tumult ; but who were the parties that raised such
cry ? The poisons who had frequently but too successfully
opposed themselves to the people were now weak enough
to think that they could ()tie iiii ize over the Queen. Her
Majesty, however, by her courage and decision haul struck
her enemies with lessor and dummy. They hail got into
a scrape, and they had mimed compromise to get out of
It. 'lute Address to the Queen he had viewed as a dis-
grace to the House tit CO iiiiii ons. He had always thought
that it was as munch as sa)mg—we have insulted you
grossly, and we shall 1111 i be happy till you 1115111 l yourself.
—{Goers,) The Miuiders were totally beaten in the
