fished an a►dhlress, in which he thanks the iishabitunts
of this city tin- their good conduct on the sth and
following days, an'l exhorts them to be still on heir
guard, as the enemies of order are watchful to du
mischief. _ _

CORUNNA, FFB 10.—Yesterday lfiernorm, at four
o'clock, a drunken man called out, " Long live the
King, and perish Cie Ontstitution ;" he was imme-
diately arrested, but nut till he had received some
severe blows from the persons who heard his sedi-
tious cries. The uccurnatce caused many persons
to assemble, who demanded the punishment of all
the delinquents. Order was maintained without
difficulty during the night.
At 12 o'clock to day people beg-an running about
the streets ; the doors of the houses were shut, and
several persons appeared armed with pistols and sa-
bres, demanding the heads of the prisoners brought
from Orense, who were confined in the Castle.
But this commotion was kept down by the appear-
ance of the troops and the exertions of the magis-
trates. In the afternoon fresh groupes assembled
with the same demand. The General appeared at
the balcony and addressed them, afterwards went
down into the square, and assured them that the
law would punish the delinquents. lie took all the
nece.ssary precautions, sent out patrolcs, &c and all
was soon made quiet.

FRENCH PiPERS.

PARIS, MARCH 5. —We have just received a
private letter from Naples, dated the 15th ult.,
which supplies the following details :
To-day, at the breaking up of a long sitting,
in which the report of a committee nominated the
preceding evening to examine the ultimatum of the
powers was read, the Prince Regent left the hall at
the head of the members of the parliament, and pro-
nounced, before the assembled multitude, the iiirru
of a declaration of war against Austria and the coa-
lesced powers. The troops have received orders to
march. General Carascosa has taken the supreme
command. Begani has int reached himself in Gaeta.
The Neapolitan troops appear to have a design of
marching against Rome.
A proclamation in the Latin language, which it
is thought has been drawn up at Naples, has been
disseminated amongst. the Hungarian regiments
which form part of the Austrian army in Italy.

VIENNA, i:Ch. 21.—Notwithstandiig all rumours
to the contrary, the certainty of war has in no degree
shaken public credit. One fact suffices to prove this ;
the funds yesterday were at 70 15-16ths ; to-day
they arc at 7:2, and every thing indicates a furthcr
rise.

MADRID, Feb. 24.—Since the late disturbances,
assassinations have increased in this capital : not a
night passes without some new victim flitting beneath
the stiletto.

The King's health gradually improves. His
Majesty has resumed his accustomed airings. His
carriage, and that containing his children, are now
encircled by strong detachments of the regiment
d'Almanza. It is remarked that the population of
Madrid has recently been augmented very consider-
ably by new residents. The last time that his Ma-
jesty went out numerous persons of distinction were
observed amongst the crowd, in very simple attire.
It appears that many eminent men, sincerely de-
voted to their Sovereign, make it a duty to watch
over his sacred person ; and that if the scandalous
scenes which took place on the 4th and sth instant
should be revived, his Majesty will find, besides his
guard, a thousand arms raised for his protection.
The Manileur contains a report of the trial of
Guindon, alias Ruyiefort, iound guiity of the mur-
derof Marshal Brune. It was on the 2d of August,
1815, this shocking event took place. On the morn-
ing of that day the Marshal and his suite were
passing through Avignon, on their way through
Marseilles to Paris. The carriage was stopped and
surrounded by an enraged multitude. They ex-
claimed that he must sutler the fate of the Duchess
of Lambelle, whose head they charged him with
baying carried on the top of a pike. The civil au-
thorities were unable to protect him. He darted
from his carriage, anJ sought refuge in the Paials
Royal. Toe populace mounted the mit* and pene-
trated into the house. Having gut a view of the
Marshal, they fired ..t hint. Ott the second shot
the bullet entered the back of los neck, and passed
quite through. The Marshall fell dead. It was
proposed to bury the body immediately ; but the
populace interfered, and threw it into the river.—
Roquefort was one of the most violent and active
among the populace.
LISSON, Feb. 17.—0 n the 13th of this mouth
the Portuguese galley Alexander I. entered the
Tagus from Pernambuco, after a voyage of 48 days;
the Captain of this galley reports, that two days
beliire his departure news had been received from
Rio Janeiro, that the arming of the vessel John IV.
