EIIHTH BULLETIS OF THE ARMY OF ITALY.

" In the morning of the 24th_March the revolutionary Par-
liament was dissolved, and an intimation was given to the few
members who were present, that they might retire to their re-
spective homes. The. Provisional Gereenment, nominated by
the King, has entered into full activity, under the superintend-
ance of the 11larluess of Circerio. His first act was to issue a
decree, reinstating all the official persons employed by the King
in the situations they occupied previous to the 6th July.
" At the instant that the Austrian army began its march for '
the capital, the Governor of Naples came to meet the General-
in-Chief with unsealed orders, signed by the Duke of Calabria,
addressed to the Officers commanding at Gaeta and Pescara, to:
deliver up those fortressesimmediately. As General Pagani,
notwithstanding the suspension of arms, had, in the evening of
the 22d, made a sortie with some gun-boats against the Ant-
trim tzoops posted. at C:e mouth of the Garigliano: Captain
Zuccer7 was sent to him, to state, that if, after the order abo-ve-
mentTened, he did .not immediately evacuate the fortress, he
would be treated as a rebel. •

" The fortress of Gaeta did, in effect, surrender on the 2r.:th.

SCUBA! OUIS DICEICE .11,4LSUM JUDEAT?

LONDON,
MONDAY, APRIL 16,1821.

French Papers of Thursday and Friday reached
us this morning. The Moniieur of Friday states,
that news had just arrived at Paris, by expre:.s,
which may be considered as authentic,announcing
that the Austrians PASSED VIC TESSIN°, on the
Bth of. April, and in front of Novara met the
troops .of Alessandria, who made no resistance.
This first corps was diskrsed. There was rea-
son to believe that the citadel of Turin would in
two hours be delivered up`to the royal authorities:

and that every thing would he settled in four
days. Twenty-five thousand Austrians are in
Piedmont. The Gazette de Evnee says, that an-
other courier had brought the intelligence of the
entry of th,..! Austrians into Alessandria and Turin,
on the oth, of which towns they took possession
in.the-narn,, and as allies of the-hint, of SAgnltir.t.:
Accordl'hg to the terms of a convention, the Pied-

montese troops arc to garrison these towns in con-
junction with the Austrians. This operation was
effected with slight opposition. The King Vic-
tor EmnANUEL has quitted Nice for the capital.

The Revolution which has broken out in Mol-
davia, Walachia, and Bulgaria, is of so serious a
nature that Austria and Russia have determined
on taking every necessary measure of pre-
caution. It is not certain whether these
powers will act in concert with the Porte
to reduce the insurgents to subjection, or
whether they will only collect troops to observe
the issue of an insurrection which has been long
meditated and arranged. A Vienna article re-
ports that several Russian officers and soldiers
are fighting in the ranks of the insurgents in Mol-
davia, notwithstanding the public declaration of
their Sovereign.
It appears that General 7.;uo,thr is to be em-
ployed with General CIIISIICH in reorganizing the
Neapolitan army on its ancient footing.

Dutch and Lisbon Mails reached us this day,
Hamburgh Papers to the 10th inst., and Frank-
furt to the Ist. The accounts of the insurrection
in Wallachia and Moldavia are confirmed. Bul-
garia and Servia were expected to rise.—The
GRAND VisIER. was taking measures to check the
insurgepts.

" LIQBON, MARCH 30.—(Ofcial Article.)---The
Portuguese schooner Vigilante entered this port
to-day, coming from the Island of St. Migud
with dispatches from the Government, stating,
that on the Ist of March it was unanimously re-
sliced by the Inhabitants, the Chamber, Nobi-
lity, Troops, and Ecclesiastical Bodies, to pro-
claim the Constitution of Portugal, and to choose
a Junta of five Members, for the purpose of
electing Deputies to the Cortes, and for the pre-
servation of public order. It. was thought neces-
sary to suspend the authority of the Governor,
I.cause he refused to adhere to the unanimous
wishes of the inhabitants.

" To-day also arrived the Portuguese galley
General Lecor in 65 days from Rio de Janeiro.
The captain states, that at his departure the ship
D. Joao VI., commanded by the Concle de Vian-
na, was completely fitted up and ready ; that it
was said it would convey the. Prince Royal to
Portugal, though no preparations were made for
immediate departure, because the delivery of the
Princess Royal was waited for; that the people
of Rio Janeiro were extremely satisfied, as his
Majesty she...ved himself inclined to favour the
cause of Portugal; that five days before his de-
parture the trading brigantine Espadarte had
sailed for Lisbon ; and lastly, that since the ar-

rival of the Conde de Palrnella at Rio, the ap-
pearance of political affairs in regard to Portugal
had changed. Such is the account given by the
Captain of the General Lecor, which has brought
no dispatches for the Government."—(Diario Ala
I?.egencia, March 31.)

[These Papers contain the ofkicial details of
the revolution at Tani., also of the splendid cere-
mony of taking the oath to the Const.;!..ution in
the Church of St. Dorn egos.]

N week has scarcely elapsed since the cause
of the Roman Catholics triumphed in an English
House of Commons. We did not participate. in
the satisfaction which the result of .the question
gave to certain parties;—viewing it as a measure
fraught with awful consequences to the Protes-
tant Faith, whether holden in the Established
Church or amongst any description of Protestant
Dissenters. The Raman Catholic Bill was. car-
ried through the House with unusual rapidity,
and the zeal of its opponents formed a lament-
able contrast to that displayed by its supporters.
Candour is all very well in its place, and mutual
concessions of opinion very advisable, when they
can be made with safety ; but when the dear
bought experience of our ancestors is disregarded,
and an attempt is made to sweep aWay the bul-
warks which they had provided for' us, it its high
time to put candour and compliment in the back
ground, and boldly to stand in the breach on be-
half of all that is dear to. us as Christians and
Englishmen ! All good subjects are bound to re-
spect the decision at which the Hopse of Com-
mons arrived ; and it will be their duty to acqui-
esce in it, should it be confirmed by the-other
branches- of the Legislature. A majority of
from fourteen .to twenty against the Bill is,
however, confidently anticipated in the House
of Lords, and the Earl of DoNononmone
not having his forces quite ready on Tues-
day, the second reading was, en his Lordship's
motion, poitponed to this day, when it will
certainly be moved, and our venerable Loan
CHANCELLOR, as the " Keeper of the King's con-
science," will take the field on. behalf of Liberty
and Protestantism. Oh ! had it been possible
for GEORGE THE THIRD to have regarded some

late trr.ns:tctiorts—;Could he have looked upon the
land which he governed for more than sixty years
—what won hl have been his feelings ? Why,
giving his faithful Commons every credit for their
intentions, he would nevertheless have la d his
hand on his seeptre--from thence have conducted
it to his heart—and told them, that although
,he
valed their opinion, he could not cutter that opi-
%pion to interfere wilh his conscience !—We have
llearil much skid as lo the propriety.or impropri-
ety of Petitions upon the Roman Catholic Ques-
tion, and the conduct of the advocates of the
Roman Catholic Claims has been very inconsistent
upon Ciis pohlt. When the people did not peti-
tion, the conclusion %.vas drawn that they were
silent beause they acquiesced in what the Ca-
tholics wkhed. When the tables groaned be-
neath the weight of Petitions—oh ! then forsooth,
it was not a question for the Vox Populn—When
the Vox Populi was silent, and gave way to the'
Clergy of the Kingdom, men of reading and edn-•
cation, and well versed in the History of their
Conntry—we are then asked, what have Clergy-
men to do with State affairs ? We are,told they
are interested Petitioners—in sonic .cases they,
are branded as Libellers for honestly stating
their opinions, and such is the zeal to engage in
the crusade against this most valuable:body of
,men, that the impetuosity of the attack reminds
us of the old Bachelor Tin the play—• •

" I'm impatient till it he done ; .1 will not Ore myself liberty
'to think, lest I Should cool I"

Perhaps, too, the question is gravely asked, whe-
ther it would not be as much ht character for the
omeers and privates of a rv.,,ipent to petition
Parliament, as for aniA rehdeacon and his Clergy

There is reason to believe, that the Coronation
will not take place at the, time which has been
mentioned ; and alsa, that 'its MAJESTY will not
visit Ireland .this Summer.

The Star trntrport, limgar Titur, is
arrived at Spitlicad. She left St. .11elena the
10th of February. • BUONAPARTE was .in good
health, and beyond this fact little is ever known
of him. His new house was completed. One of
his domestics is arrived in the Star, with his wife.
and.child : it is understood he quitted his mas-
ter's service from choice.
