t!ioir•and Italians only wait for orders to join the
Graod Army. The Isepartmental battalions. burn
to share the honour with it. The Athninktrators
of the Communes contend for the honour of of-
fering horses' and cavaliers. The wishes of the
nation outstrip the demands which neces,ity ex-
acts, or foresight counsels.» In the absuce of ti)e
Prince, your image, who anticipates, under es ery
circumstance, the dispositions 'requisite for the
good of the country, the Italian senate, deprived
of the happiness of being near your Intperial Ma-
jesty, begs yoti to believe the siuceriry of its sen-

.which, by its organ, the nation lays ar your
feet.
The Senate dees not speak of the fidelity, the
love, which binds it -to your august- person, to
• your family : all feel but t,nie wish as they have
but one duty, that of assisting with) all their
strength, and all their means,, the gr.at designs
which prudence commands your Majesty to exe-

and of the kingdoth."

The greatest energy prevails at. present in the
disposition and direction of the I\l'avy;. in addition

Murderers discouered.The perpetrators of, the
horrid murder of Mr. 'Webb and his servant, near
Filmic., which we recorded a few weeks since, have
at length been, diScovered, and prove to be the
identical persons against whom strong ,suspicions
had been for some' time excited ; but; owing to
the committal of another man, under some appa-
rent evidence of guilt, the real culprits were not
apprehended. They are two young men, .of the
names ,of Ruddock and. Carpenter, neither of
whom has yet attained the age of
,twenty ; they
Were ,born in the vicinity of Irome. Carpenter
turned King's evidence, by whom the following
circainstanees attendant on the atrocious act were
detailed :.---Carpenter, it appears, borrowed the
fatal gun of the father of a voting woman.to whom
he paid his addresses,' under pretence of selling, it
to great advantage He proceeded ‘vith Rtuldoek
to Mr. Webb's house, which he entered, and asked
for work.—" Ah ! you rogue,'' aid the old Man,
jocosely, '" you don't want work—'tis only itn
excuse for a jug of drink ;---fetch him .4 cups
Thank you, Sir," said the fellow ;
" but here's Ruddock at the door."—" Is he 'i"
replied Wcbbf---" Oh ! then we must have a' WO
mug, my maid.'' Whilst, the girl went out,to
obey her master's hospitable order,. Carpenter
- beckoned to his companion, who stood at the
door, and' pulled the trigger of the gun at his de.-
voted victim : it missed, fire ::but, on another at,;,
tempt, it went.oir, and fatally succeeded I The
servant, rushing in at the moment, endconured
to escape from the murderers, when ltuddock
overtook her, cut her throat, and, with the'assist-
ance of Parpenter, thrust her into a well, where
it is supposed she lingered some hours. The vit..
lains then prOceeded to rifle the house, and after-
wards hid the gnu in a neighbouring wood.—
Carpenter attended .the sale of the old man's ef-
fects, an* with the greatest composure bid for se-
veral of the articles ; and on Sunday last heard a
funeral. sermon preached at a chapel is FrOme,
allusive to the dreadful deed, in which he had been
:so principally concerned; but it is supposed the
compunctions of his conscience woold..not have
accelerated the diScoVery, had not his frequent
incautious boasts of money led' to _suspicion, and
the "ultimate detection of hintiell and hi i blOod»

That old dabbler in politics, Major C ARTWIt GUTi
is• travelling from town to town throughout the •
kingdom, in order to procure signatures to Petitions
for a Parliamentary Reform. It is probable that
he will not be . very scrupulous,- as' to the sub-
scribers, and those who can only' set 'their mark •
will be held hy'llitn,as profotind politicians, Ti ..e
poor rambling Major may now be styled the Psti-
larof Pelt ty.
PetitiooS against the Catholic. Claims seem to -
be the order of the day throughout the Principali-
ty of Wales. Besides those Boroughs already
narneit, a Meeting of the inhabitants of - Rutbin
was held on Friday, when it WilS agreed 'to peti- -
tion-Parliament against the Claims. The busi-
ness of •the day being opened by Goodman Ho- -
bests, Esq. the Address was read by J. Roherl.i,
Esq. seconded by the Rev. F. Oweo, and is to
be'presented to the Lords hystheßight Hors. Lol d
Begot, and to the Commons by Lord Viseottet
Kirkwall,;--01.1 Tuesday se'tinight, a Countsy
Meeting was held at Carnarvoo, to take into Con- •
sideration the above question. On the motion for
the nigh Sheriff, G. T: 'Esq. to take the
chair, that gentleman stated that 'as his sentis
ments were in favour of the Catholic Claims, he
hoped to be excused ; -but after some discussion
he consented. The Rev: Archdeacon Jones then
addressed 'the, Meeting: On the resolutions be-
. ing lead, the Sheriff objected to signing thettss •
when Colonel Jones, of Gerliwig, took the c' Et:.
The petition was then read, and received IkU • •
roes signatures. Sir R. -Williams; member for
the county, hoped that, as he might not be in
London, they would not, object to his requesting
A. Smith; Esq. to present it to the House
lamented that his sentiments on this subject
should not be in union with so respectable a body
of ,his constituents; but if it was their visli he
shouldpreSent it, he felt it his duty to concede.
A valuable ship; • the ',Sir Sidney Stnith, Captain
Ksa6nT, froniLondon and Atileira to Berl:lice,
was taken on the lath November, after a short
nation, by the General 4rnatrong, American pris
vessel that has done considerable da-
mage to the trade in that quarter. • :
tV most daring atteMpt at robbery and moriier•
was Made between live anl six 'O'clotk of the
morning of Siziulay last, on the highway n'ear
Thorpe's :NEB, at Market Despings The person
upon whom this diabOlical attempt mu, made is
'Mr. Painter, carrier betwixt Boston and `taut-
ford, who has long been a diligent servant of the
public in that capacity, and who is also The
lord of the :Royal Oak public-house in.the latter
place. He was proceeding ,with his cart to Stain.
ford, having, with him as passengers, Mrs. Pars.
of Decping, and her infant, when three footpads
caMe up to him at the above-mentioned place, one
of whom, whilst' ohe other .seized the horse,
without parley, 'discharged a pistol loaded with
two balls at Palmer, who was then sitting in the
cart beside his passengers, and little expecting
such a salute. One of, the balls, we regret t'o
hear, entered the fleshy part of 'Palmer's left arm,
and the woman who was his passenger' had a very
narrow escape from the other, as it passed close
by her face. Fortunately Palmer was.het ter pre-
pared for deleuee' than these veretehes,antiicip%ited,
Asaviag a pistol with hiM, which, though wound-
ed, he instantly presented at his assailants, threat-
ening to blow their brains out if they did not im-
mediately desist from assaulting him, for the vil-
lains' then attempted to drag • Palmer from the
cart. On seeing the 'pistol in his hand, which
unluckily would not go off, they thought it .ads
visable to retire with all possible speed, without
givingshim any .forther molestation. The iuten-
tior of them depredators sc,e ins evidently to have
been fiist to murder Pah,oe'.., and then' to rob his
vehiele. We are sorts, to hear that Palmer is not
'out of &anger from the effects of shot.

A pl,ilanthropist, who is a gentleman, as we
