LONDON,

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23. 1820.

Paris Pap,..rs of Tuesday arrived at a late hour
last night tit our Office. That point of political
interest to which we look in the foreign intelligence
aith most auxiets-, we mean the question of war
or peace in Italy, is still midetertnined. The arri-
val of the couriers from Tr op pa u at Naples, is not
yet announced, mid until the propositions which
they bear are laid before the Parliament of the
Two Sicilieit, the public will know nothing of their
Milani. A letter ('font Vienna of the nth says,
that t• No person can doubt the issue of the pro-
positions, for it is the directing party in Naples,
and oot the KING, who will make the reply." It is
hia,ce emir:lotted by the writer that war is inevitable,
with the perfect concurrence of the Allied Powers,
anal in pursuance of the military arrangements
made by the Austrian Government. It is said that,
should the war commence, the King of Paussia
will send to the Austrian camp one of his most ex-
perienced Generals, and several other officers, to
sanction by their presence the invasion of Naples.
A Neapolitau army is now assembled in the
Abruzzos, under the command of Lieut.-General
FIL NGIERI, consisting of 30 battalions of infantry,
16 squadrons of cavalry, with 48 field-pieces of
artillery. These are the best troops of the king-
dom. In the Calabrese the free troops are now
collecting. These must be formidable as light
troops, from the wild and savage character of the
men; but their want of discipline must render them
of little avail, opposed in a pitched battle, to the
moving machinery of an Austrian army.
In the mean time the two Emperors have deter-
mined 110 t to have Troppau until the return of the
cootie's they have sent to Naples. General FRI.
MONT is'definitively appointed to the command of
the A uorian army.

The domestic intelligence contained in the
French Papers is not of much importance. The
Meinbcrs of the Legislative Chambers have met
for adjusting some matters preliminary to the
meeting for dispatch of business.

We have reeeived New. York Papers to the
19th of November. The !louse of Ilepresento-
tives had ballutted nineteen tittles for the choice
of a Speaker, and adjourned on the evening of the
14th without having come to a decision. Seventy-
three is the number of votes necessary to • choice,
but on the sestetsl balloti no candidite stood so
high-31r. Low:sults upon one trial had 71.

A report has been is circulation for some days of a clump
la the Austrian Ministry. Among other particulate it is
said, that the Archduke Rainer would give up his office of
Viceroy of Italy, or come to Vitas& to fill the place of Chief
Minister.

The India Board. we understand, remains still
unoccupied. It is doubtful whether Mr. PEEL
will accept it. for some silly friends of the young
Gentleman were employed some time since in turn-
ing his brain with the assurance that he mutt he
Premier, and be, in his ready belief of their pre-
dictions, gave expression to some hasty declaration,
that lie could never condescend to accept any place
wader Lord CASTLEREAGH. The father of poetry
calls words..“ winged," but they are found some-
times less willing to fly away than the speaker is to
part with them. A similar expression, spoken per-
haps with the same heedlessness, has often appeared
io judgnieut against Mr. CANNING. for it did not
prevent him from accepting the mission to the
empty Palace of Lisbon, or ■ seat in the Cabinet
as President of the Board of Control ; it would
be sconeahat siugular if Mr. PEEL, having vapoured
and swaggered with the stone idle boast, should
now stoop to the same level, and condescend to
accept the very same office which mortified the
ambition of Mr. CaaNiso.

To fellow the steps of Mr. CANNING may not
lead the young 'aspirant through the paths of po-
litical consistency, but it may soothe the vanity of
A much abler man them Mr. PEEL Mr. CANNING
will not rank highly among British statesenen, beef
his fame as an orator will be second to few among
the brightest names that adorn the history of our
country. He possesses in a high degree many of
the most distinguishing qualities that unite in
forming a first-rate orator, but in the act of speak-
ing lie seems deficient in personal dignity, and he
evidently seeks rather to amuse awl surprise his
emboli the delightful variety of his illustra-
Home, and the playful vivacity of his manlier, than
to excite the nobler feelings of respect for his prin-
ciples, athininition for his genius, and a profound
conviction of his sincerity and troth. Ile wants the
philosophic dignity of BURKE, the ponderous
magnificenee of PITT, the enthusiastic glow of
gelselous feeling which gave Fox the mastery of
the passions ; nor does he. like SHERIDAN, mingle
bursts of deep and heart-felt) sensibility with
the brilliaucy of his iins4ery, and the chaste and
classic beauty of his well.tururd sentences. to
the general style of his speeche+, lie perhaps re-
sembles SHERIDAN more than any of the others,
but be has more taste than any of them, with much
more of those lighter and mare shadowy ornaments
that are best calculated to catch a popular assem-
bly ; so that if they were all reduces! to the tieces.
sity Of tqing their powers upon a numerous meet-
ing of people, by whom they all be held
oval dishke, we have no doubt that CANNING
would fare the best. Ile might begin amidst
showers of hisses, but lie woolf lie sure to end
amidst thunders of applause. The loss of such a
man, at such a monielit, is a tremendous brow to
the Ministers. lu their feebleness they lose their
best prop, and its his place they will find Mr.
PEEL but a very sorry substitute. It would be
advisable for Mr. PEEL's own interests not to suc-
ceed him immediately ; a direct comparison with
such a man would trod more to sink him iii public
opinion than even the remembrance of his vapour-
lug speech alanit not serving under Lord CASTLE..
REAUId. The place of Premier itself would, um.
der such ciicumstances, be attended with lees
danger than the Board of Control.

Extract from a letter from Pernambuco, dated
the 11111 tilt.—
" Affairs are in a dreadful state in this province. The
late act of butchery, which is here termed the liallle
Bonito, has caused au impression which will cot be easily
effaced; and it is by some thought to he only the forerunner
of more *elitism disorders.. The lusurgents, as they are
called, are described as keying been a peatealik, though de.
lusted, set of men; they believes' that ,King Sebastian would,
one day ur other, return and put things to rights; and were
averse from, anti would out submit to, the military despot-
ism which is exercised throughout the conotry by the petty
delegites of power. Their contumacy was exaggetstevl; and
Luis do Rego (who Greyed under Wellington) sent two bat-
talions of Cagadores, with as many of militia, sail a troop of
hors►, to extirpate the rebels. which they did must of
and returned to Recife with all the r pomp and cir.
cusssiauce of war,' bringing captive divers old women and
children, decrepit old men and a few boys. The Royal loss
amounts to 178 killed and wounded; that of the other party
is nut known. Boidio is about 30 leagues distant from Re.
rife. The cream remains: kladureiso, %eke is a Major com-
manding the militia of the district, was made thief of the ex-
pedition. Sa, a Lieuteuaist.Coionel of the Cacodores, was
piqued at this, endeavoui ad to get to wind ward of the other,
aud, by forced marches, put au end to the affair before the
militia came up. It, however, so happened that they both
arrived, by different routes, at the same time; and those
who are disposed to be charitable say, that Se, mistaking
the other party fur the enemy, ordered his rota to fire with-
out asking any questions: the cousequence was, Ss lust 44
men, and Midianite; 134. This mistake might well have
happened, as the militia were in their Aire-sleeves, having
bee• sumsasourd too hastily to thinkuf their uniform."
