AUSTRIA.

We learn from Vienna that the greatest alarm
prevails there lest the Spanish insurrection should
produce a ferment in Italy. An intention to for-
tify Parma is talked of. Count Crenneville, the
Commandant of the Austrian troops at Parma, is
to be replaced by General Baumgartner, a man of
more energy. Hitherto, it has been said that
Count Crenneville's successor was to be chosen
for his conciliatory qualities. A. semi-official
version of the Note recently addressed by the
Austrian Government to the Neapolitan re-
presents it as more threatening than was supposed.
The note states that, in consequence of the recep-
tion given by Naples to the representations of the
Western powers, Austria will hold herself passive
whatever may occur.
A. letter from Vienna, in the Augsburg Gazette,
states that several changes are in contemplation
among the superior functionaries of the Ministry of
Finance. These changes are said to be connected
with the important modifications which have been
recently introduced into the financial administra-
tion of Austria. The departure of Prince Paul
Esterhazy for Moscow is fixed for the 23d inst.

THE TWO SICILIES.
NAPLES, July 17th—The walls of Naples have
been again placarded, and the following proclama-
tion has been most extensively circulated through-
out the capital and the provinces. It runs as
follows :

Neapolitans,—Your cruel and painful sufferings have
been so long prolonged, and have been supported with so
much dignity, as to have awakened the sympathy of the di-
plomacy of Europe. Yet, comparatively speaking, she has
not known, nor can she know, buten infinitely small part of
what you suffer. Now that a prosperous breeze begins to
inspire us with the hope that the triumph of justice and
legality is not far distant ; now that by visible signs the
hand of God weighs heavily on perjured administrations,
the dishonour of the people confided to them, we turn to
you with that same serenity of mind which hail never de-
serted us amidst the vicissitudes of fortune, or the pre-
dominance of passions hostile to the most holy prin-
ciples. The time is not far distant, perhaps, when this
your country will be the theatre of new events—attend
them with the same dignified and noble tranquillity of
which up to the present time you have given such splendid
proofs. When circumstances shall be changed, show that
you are not like slaves who have broken your chains, but
free men, who feel all the value of their liberty, who are
conscious of their rights, who desire the reign of legality
and justice, and do not run madly through the regions of
Utopia, and of vain fantasies. Do not dissemble from
yourselves a single one of your past errors, and by not dis-
sembling them you will give the surest pledge that they will
not be repeated. Be united in the one desire for a constitu-
tional legality, and for an administration which will main-
tain it intact and inviolate. Respect the rights of all. Be
not unjust towards those who have preserved their devo-
tion to the duties of military discipline—who, no less than
you, have execrated the general injustice, and who deserve
for many reasons your affection and esteem. The honour
of our common country is specially confided to their
hands; and under a juster and more enlightened govern-
ment, rivals of their companions in Piedmont, who have
gained for the Italian cause the sympathies of Europe,
they will not shrink from preserving it incontaminate
against the ambition of foreign arms. Union and tran-
quillity ! this is what we shall never cease to urge upon
you, and leave to your enemies the remorse •f having
trampled on the work of God, and that vindictive fury
which is the surest indication of their own weakness.
Thus only shall we be able to promise that God will be
with us, and to hope for the triumph of a cause which is
undoubtedly the most holy and the most just.
