REVOLUTION AT MADEIRA.

...-...ii.n-

From various letters received on Thursday by the
mail from Lisbon, We select the following, as con-
taining the most accurate account of this event:—
" MAnEiaA, Jun. 31.

An event has onurred here which, we trust in God, will
have a beneficial effect on this little isand, and setire to us more
justice than we have, tmfortuatcly, hitherto experienced: I
allude to the adoption of a constitutional form of government,
than which no event could have bem more sadden and u-iex-
pecteil.
On Sunday, the 2tith instant, about noon, a deputation,
consisti,,g of the following Nrsans, viz. Signor Signor
Medina (Albuquerque). Escorcio. and Morgialo Diego d'Or-
rtallas, entered the Castle, and demanded au interview with the
Governor General, to whom they exprossed themselves autho•
rised to intimate the geaer.., wish of the iirnahitants for a condi.
tation similar to that estoblisleal at Li6lXn). 'file deputation
had been encouraged to this bold measure byhasing previously
obtained the ssgnatures of near Got of the principal inhabitants
to a declaration binding them to slum, all the consequences of the
proposition. The demand made by the deputation appear - also
to have obtaioed the general concurrence of the soldier , es,
during their visit to the Governor, the ini"tia, though without
arms. were'," drawn up on the public walk, and a few compa-
nies of the regulars were stationed wail co inon in the Chofatis,
an open space opposite to the Governor's residence. An immense
concourse of people was also collected, who were we'ting with
much anxiety the result of' the conference. They were nut sr":
freed to remain long in suspense, thr the menibffs of the depu-
tation soon appeared on the ways, accampanital by. the Governor
and h's principallidicers, end the desi ed constitution was inun
diately proclaimed.
hbontly gave a loose to joy; no work was allowed to
be done for three days, and the twist general satisfaction was
diffused among the public; enmities of many years' standing
were made up, the theatres opened, and every house illuminated.
The enthusiasm ma rift:steel in the theatre., has been peculiarly
sinking, arid was not a little heightened by the ladies present,
who all united their voices from the boxes in the national hymn.
The schooner Andurihha proceeds immecuately for Lisbon,
with an embassy from this government, to apprise the new ad.
ministration that the constitution has also been proele.med in
this island.''

According to letters of the 10th inst. from Leg-
horn, intelligence had been received there of the
Austrians having actually passed the frontiers of
Tuscany, on their route towards Naples. Letters
from Turin of the 16th further state, that the
principal division was e•.pectctl to arrive at Florence
on the I ith. Abundant supplies of every requisite
had been prepay...ll in the city, both tbr the troops
and the horses. The officers of the commissariat
department, it is said, in their way towards Naples
to the diGrent depots established for the army,
whither they were sent in great haste from Milan,
travelled wit:tout unitbrat, from th. 2 fear of assas-
sination.—That corps of the Austrian army which
traversed the Marches to take the road to the
Abruzzi, was destined to join the main division
between Ponteeorvo and Capua, at the intersection
of the two roads.

A private letter from Marseilles, dated Feb. 19,
mentions the arrival of a vessel at that port in six
days from Naples, with intell*nce that the people
of that capital were sv exasperated against the King
for his conduct at Lavbach, they set fire to a line.
of-battle-ship in the Bay, merely because it bore the
name of Ferdinand. It was understood at Naples
that the Austrians were advancing in two columns
of 40,000 each, one by Rome, and the other by
Ancona. Great agitation prevailed at Naples.
A new line of mail communication from York
to Liverpool is in contemplation ; it is to leave
the firmer place after the arrival of the London
mail, and to proceed through Wetherby, liarewood,
Gisburn, Colne, Bursley, Preston, and Ormskirk, to
Liverpool,

No rctin at should be admitted in any kingdom,
according to the declaration of the Allies, without
originating with the Monarch and his ministers,
consequently all those who petition Parliament in
this country for a correction of abuses, are nothing
more than a Carbonuri, whose voice should have no
weight. The conductors of the slavish journals of
this metropolis now chuckle in consequence of an
absurd rumour in a foreign newspaper that is a
schism among the friends of freedom in Italy.

An elegant landaulet, fitted up as a travelling
carriage hits been launched for her Majesty; the
colour is bright green, the royal arms painted on the
doors and pannels, and plain gold arms, and C. It.
Dot splendidly, but elegantly bordered goes round
the bottom.
