PARIS, MARCH s.—We have just received a
private litter from Naples, dated the 15th
which supplies the fidlowing 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, anti pro-
nounced, betbre the assembled multitude, the form
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 renched 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 Ilungarian regiments
which tore part of the Austrian army in Italy.

VIENNA, Feb. 2 I.—Notwithstanding all rumours
to the contrary, the certainty of war has in no degree
shaken Public credit. One filet suffices to prove this ;
the fund, yesterday were at 70 5-16Llis 3 tc-day
they are ut 72, and every thing indicates a further
rise.

MAnnin, Feb. 2b-Since the late disturbances,
assassinations have increased in this capital : not a
night passes without some new victim fidling beneath
the stiletto.

'1 he King's health gradually improves. His
Majesty has resumed his accustemed airings. His
carriage, and that containing his children, are now
encircled by strong detachments of the regiment
d'Ahnanza. 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 ditty to watch
over his sacred person ; and that it' the scandalous
scenes which took place on the 4th and sth instant
should be revived, his. Majesty will find, besides Lis
guard, a thousand arms raised Inc his protection.
The Monitear contains a report of the trial of
Guindon, alias Roquefort, found guilty of the tour-
der of Marshal Brune. It was on the .‘441 of August,
1815, this shocking event took place. On the morn-
ing of that day the Marshal and his suite were
passing through A vi;olon, on their way through
Marseilles to Paris. The carria;e was stopped and
surrounded by an enraged multitude. They ex-
claimed that he must suffer the fate of the Duchess
of Lambelle, whose head they charged him with
having carried on the top of a pike. The civil au-
thorities were unable to protect him. He darted
from his carriage, and sought refuge in the Palais
Royal. The populace mounted the roof and pent,
trattAl into the house. Having got a view of the
Marshal, they fired at him. On the second shut
the bullet entered the back of his neck, and passed
quite through. The Marshall fell dead. It was
proposed to bury the body immediately; hut the
populace interered, and threw it into the river.—
Roquefort was one of the most violent and active
among the populace.
LISIWN) Feb. t 7.—On the 13th of this month
the Portuguese gdley Alexander I. entered the
Tagus from Pernambuco, after a voyage of 48 days;
the Captain of this galley reports, tnat two days
before his departure news had been received troin
Lis .1 metro, that the want% of the vessel John IV.

was nearly terminated, and that he was assured his
Majesty intended to come to Portugal on board this
vessel. They hoped, at Pernambuco, soon to see
the embargo on all vessels destined for the other
ports of the kingdom taken off
Ctutz, I: Fn. 1 3. An event has occurred here
to-day, which would be incredible if we did not
know what excesses the sanguinary enemies of our
institutions are capable of. The boys in one of the
public schools were repeating this morning the
Catechism of the Constitution : among the persons
present was a man of respectable appearance, who
asked the twister which of the boys was best ac-
quainted with the Constitution ? The master made
no difficulty in pointing hint out, on which the man
praising his application, asked permission to take
him to a confectioner's to treat him with some cakes.
The master agreed, and the man took away the
poor boy, not to the coutZ:ctioner's, but into the
held, where he beat him in a cruel manner, leaving
him weltering in his blood, and nearly dying. In
this state he was tbund by some women, who car-
ried hint to a house. _ _ _

ANDUJAR, FEB. 15. Onr political chief has
published tut energetic proclamation, exhorting the
inhabitants to deliver up the inflammatory procla-
mations, great numbers of which has been received
by the post.
Four suspicious persons have been arrested, who
were met in the highway armed with fowling-
',feces and pistols. They are confined in the prison,
which is so crowded with criminals that an epide-
mic disorder is apprehended.
VALENCIA, FED 17.—Our new political chief
has found it necessary to issue a decree against
wearing coloured scarfs, especially green and scarlet.
