" TURIN, MONDAY, MARCH 25, 121.

•
" This city is greatly agitated, in consequence of the arrival of
intelligence froin Genoa, by which it appears a dreadful com-
,,motion has taken place in that city. The Con.stitution of Spain
was first hailed with rapture, but when the protest of the new
King was made known, a diversity of opinion prevailed, and
the result has been that blood was spilt. The batteries were
opened, I have heard, on the people ; and the troops in that
garrison tool: diErent sides. The British Charge d'Affairos
has requested the English here not to proceed to Genoa until
further intelligence shall be received. Everyman here is under
arms; and the whole of the regular army is on their march to 1
the frontiers. The report is very generally circulated here, that
the Austrians are in possession of Naples. I have not a raF-
ment more, for the Courier— .

" following Placard hes just been issued here:—
" THE PROVISIONAL JUNTA.

" err r?.:E.N.l!—The country has to deplore the turr,ults which
have happerA in Genoa, and to rejoice at the same time in see-
ing the new order of things enthusiastically received there both
by the.royal troops and by the people... ''hr Constitutional Sys-
tem Frill be the greateat and most durable chain of,the yet recent
• union between. Genoa and Piedmont-. A publication, net very
prudent, which, by the advice of. persons the most prudent and
esteemed both in the old and new order of things, was avoided at
Turin, was the cause of the tumults, Let us coecfort (airs:Ayes,
however, with the .refiection, that in Genoa -good arose out of the.
evil, as frequently happens inhuman affairs, namely, the ard'cnt,
loud and strong maruf-estation of,a great wish,the wish of Pied-
mont, Cr It4y, and of Etiropc.,
" The extraordinary nature of the OreitinstaiurS in Genoa,
induced General. Count Deageneys to:giVe his powers to an. ad-
Ministrative-Commission .Government, • which has 'already
connected itself with the National Gitinta. It, has nominated,
provisionally, -it Chief of Police, Of Which it demanded the con.,
firrnation.. The Giunta will do everi.thingto satisfy the wishes
:of the Geneosc, and to preserve to the King and the country so
precious and noble a part of.this flourishing dominion.

" By subsequent letters from Turin, it appears that a formal
decla--a.&;n of war has been issued by the Piedmontcse Govern-

went against Austria, and that troops have been collecting with
a view of marching on Milan without delay. The militia had
been called out, and the Austrian AmbasSador, Binder, who
had been detected in an endeavour to excite disturbances in
Turin by O'fFering bribes to both officers aril men, has been po--
litely invited to leave the capital. The Austrians are supposed
to have only from 12 to 14,000 men in the Lombardo Venetian
kingdom. The friends of the Italian cause expect much from
the Subalpine armies, whose cry is G E URA AI BARBAE.I.7 ".

CANADA.We received letters yesterday after-
noon froth Quebec) dated the 24th of February
last. They complain very much of the delay and
irregularity of the arrivals of :their letters from
England -aid Halifax—for the letters from Lon-
don dated November last by the mail of that
month reached Quebec only on the 24th' Of
I February, whilst the London letters of De-
cember, via New York, had been some time
in their possession. The delays of the route
by Halifax to Canada defeat the object of
the Government as far as Canada is concern-
ed, and of course lessen the revenue, that other-
wise would be benefited by a better arrangement,
which they haVe 'no doubt,' the Post-masters
General would adopt on their knowledge of this
serious inconvenience. The apprehensions enter-
tained of the infibence of the Northern PoWers at
the Court of 'Saint James's, leads them to believe
that the Timber Trade of this Colony must be in
a great measure abandoned, and therefore they
are driven to:look to the British Legislature for
some relief, 'and further facilities in the admis-
sion of their Wheat and flour into the mother
country,.and: they refer us to their public ,
appli-
cations, to this ‘urovernment and the newspapers,
fOr a correct view of the depressed state which
they'are..in, and of the necessity there exists for
giving to them every possible encouragement and
Support.

We have also the" Quebec, Gazelles to the 22d
of February, from which we shall shortly give
ample extracts:. It affords us great pleasure
,to
observe, that an Act is in progress through the
Legislature of the province, to make a canal from
Montreal to 149, Chine—a measure of the. first
importance to the import trade of the Canadas.

We are not surprised that the consummation
of the unjustifiable and wanton invasion of the
rights of an independent Nation, by the Mem-
bers of the Holy Alliance, should have been
closed by the mockery of an appeal to the
Deity in the Church of Laybach, by the Em-
perors of AUSTRIA and RUSSIA, who, it is said,
returned thanks'" for the happy issue of the
affairs at Naples," when they were informed that
General FRIMO-NT had OVERPOWERED the Nea-
politans, and 'had taken 'possession of their go-
vernment. Whatever circumstances led to the
recent chalfges in the Constitution of Naples, the
conduct of these Sovereigns cannot be defended
on any of 'those. principles, which, in the better
times of old, regulated the Governments of
Europe. A short time will, however, lead to a
developement of the whole affair. In the mean
time a forbearance by the Government prints is
necessary, to- prevent' any conclusions being
drawn, that this Court is not sincere in the Neu-
trality which it has declared on this occasion.

TIMBER. DUTIES.—We refer our Readers to
the debate on this subject. We still entertain
our former opinion, that there should not
have been any reduction of the, duty on foreign
tin,her ; it wai not called for on any public
ground connected with the welfare and encourage-
ment of any British Interest. We shall always
consider it as a boon to foreigners to satisfy some
improvident pledge which has been given to
them ; and we' probably shall have again occa-
sion to enter upon this subject, even without the
assistance of the Prussian witness who was ex-
amined before the Foreign Trade Committee.

It is proper that a distinction should be rnatie
between-the Goterninene, and, what are styled,
the Ministerial Papers. We are induced to con-
tend for such a distinction, in consequence of a
paragraph in The Morning Chronicle of this
day, whiCh says, " We have seen With what
cold-blooded but rancorous enmity the JoUrnals
of Government have spoken of the calm--endear
yours of the pqcspla7to cprrect the administration
of their own affairs?' The public will have seen

that we haVe.strongly protested against the plea
by which Austriaattempted to justify her menaces
and her proceedings against Naples, upon general
principles,as measures of tyranny inconsistent with
that independence-Which every State has a right to
maintain, -but we reserved our opinion as to the
necessity of its- interposition till we could obtain
full knowledge of the real character of -the authors
and promoters of the Neapolitan Revolution.
There is reason to believe that it was obtained by
arnbtions Rebels and. a c.-n-rupted Soldiery, con-
trary to. the will of the People,as well as to that of
the Monarch. Subsequent eventg have confirmed
.this idea, and when: the spirit of faction is ex-
tinguished in Naples., and the KING; restored
to his authority, we hope to see it employed
in the formation of a Representative System
of Government. We have differed from Minis-
tors on several occasions, though we are ge-
nerally strenuous in support olGovernment,. as,
for instance, on. the Timber Trade, and we
shall always firmly
,state our opinion, whenever
they may bring forward measures that; upon good
grounds, we may consider -as injurious it, the
country and its dependencies. We have also

condemned the arrogant assumption of the Holy
Alliance on several occasions. Let us then not be
indiscriminately held forth as the servile tools of
Ministers, because we are firm and decided sup-
porters of a Constitutional Government.
