the constitution adopted. When Naples was re-
stored to his Majesty, what were the benefits which
Sicily obtained ? It was immediately robbed, not
only of its new constitution, but of those rights,
which, during the course of ages, antecedent dynas-
ties had sworn to maintain, and had religiously res-
pected. Its flag was pulled down, its native ensigns
were destroyed, its mint abolished, and even its name,
which has hitherto been so brilliant in history, was
cancelled. Thus degraded, disgraced, and insulted,
it was admitted to the high honour of being a pro.
vince of the kingdom of Naples, or of the two
Sicilies." The paper then goes on to enumerate the
hardships to which, after this degradation, Sicily
was subjected, and the consequent poverty and dis-
tress of the island, drained of its resources to enrich
Naples. It afterwards details the present condition
of Sicily, and the fixed determination of the Sicilians
to maintain their independence. The document
concludes by " imploring his Royal Highness, in the
name of the nation, that he would not be deceived by
the counsels of private interest, or misled by national
vanity, to abandon himself to imprudent or disas-
trous measures, nor disgrace by such means the first
steps which the Neapolitan nation is making iu the
glotious career of liberty."

KINGDOM or SARDINIA.—The following docu-
ment is said to have been addressed to his Sardinian
Majesty by his Piedmontcse army :
Sr at:,—The army is loyal and faithful, and gives a solemn
pledge of it to their Sovereign. Sire, it is reported that your
present ministers are soliciting a succour of Austrian troops. The
Austrians were. arc, anti will be, not only the natural enemies of
the Piedmontese, but of all the other people of Italy. The read.
lection of 11415 is not far off. Your soldiers know what is meant
by having Austrians in the country. although as friends. They
have always usurped the honour of our exploits. The Austrians
are the execration of Italy. Your soldiers, Sire, will not have
them but as enemies. To ask their assistance would be an
insupportable insult to the honour of your soldiers, who boast
that they are sufficient for the defence of the throne, the country,
and the constitution."

The following article, respecting some of the '
witnesses against the Queen, appears in the Journal
des Debuts of Thursday. It is dated Augsburgh,
August 17th, and is stated to be extracted from the
Universal Gazette of that City:—
The Vienna Court Gazette and the Austrian Observer have
inserted a contradiction of the English Ambassador of an article
in the Universal Gazette of this city relative to some witnesses
against the Queen of England. The following are certain facts:
—Theodore Majocclu, kinkily groom. Luigi Majocchi, for-
merly domestic, and their father, Battista Majocchi, formerly
couriers or postillion in the service f the Princess of Wales during
her residence at Como and Milan, arrived at Vienna in 1819.
They alighted in the suburb of Wieden, at the inn, the sign of
the Three Crowns • they then took a private lodging in the
suburb of LeBpoldtadt, where they resided till their departure
for London, in the house of the Steur Radel, the master of a
fishing boat, No. 6, near the baths of Diana, in the first floor.
According to their own statements. they had received on the part
of the English Ministry. appointments or indemnities; they lied
also been promised pensions for life, for themselies and for their
families, who remained at Como. The facts which Batista
Majocchi declared could be proved against the Queen of England
are very aRIOWS, and would cover her with shame. What we
have learnt with respect to Statists Majocchi is. that he went to
London last spring, as a courier. Theodore Majocchi has de-
dared, that the pensions of their wives arc paid at Milan, every
month, by the advocate, M. Vihnarcati, the English agent,
residing at the Cowed° Crucilicisau, in the Casa Rizonica. We
derive these facts from the declarations of the family of Mu-
jocclu.n
ITALIAN School..—A school for mutual instruc-
tion is said to have been established in Cotton-garden,
Westminster. The institution consists of a great
number of pupils, but strangers are not permitted to
attend their exercises. When a pupil has repeated
his task or lesson before the master, he returns, and
instructs his fellow pupils, in order that they may
be qualified for a imilar examination.—Wc are cre-
dibly informed, that in the interim, between, their
public examinations, they are each evening privately
assisted by the learned Solicitor-General.
Kean performed Othello on Monday last at Drury 7
lane : we quote the following from the fourth act,
to point out how it was received by the audience
Esniits.-1 will be haug'd if some eternal villain,
" Some busy and insinuating rogue,

The Pit stood up again, the men waved their
hats, and the women their handkerchiefs; the ac-
clamations throughout the whole house were loud
and general, and lasted for several minutes.

SUNDAY. SEPTEMBR 3.

Ministers voted in opposition to each other on
Tuesday ; the Lord Chancellor opposed the re-cross--
examination of the witnesses by the Queen's Counsel.
The Earls of Liverpool and Harrowby honestly
confessed, that the irresistible arguments of the
Queen's Counsel had convinced them of the justice
of the claim; they voted accordingly, and the Lord
Chancellor was left in a minority of 15 ! Sometimes
," When rogues quarrel, honest men get their due"
—but not always so. The proceedings we are sure
have already done more injury to the morals of the
country than could have arisen from all the acts
charged, had they been committed; by the gross and
beastly detail of the Attorney-General in his opening,
we think he has eternally disgraced himself—
but he is not a married man—yes, but he is though,
for we read of Sir Robert and Lady Gifford being
at Court, &c. &c. But he has no daughters, and
therefore cannot sympathize with a father whose
paternal feelings were outraged by the insertion of
so unnecessary a detail in the public prints,—Yes,
but he has though, for we remember long ago to
have read in the list of births " At his house in
Gower street, the Lady of Mr. Gifford, of a daugh-
ter;" then indeed is there no excuse for his conduct
which has offended the delicacy of the English cha-
racter, and placed an indelible stain upon his own ;
he might and ought to have opened the case in a
speech which might have been reported in ten lino,
and then have proceeded to call his witnesses, by
which course the greater part of the indecencies
would have been spared, for we cannot find them
elsewhere than ia the opening speech of the Learned
Gentleman.

A weekly paper is obliged to curtail the speeches,
and we never regretted that necessity so much as
