It would appear from the latest accounts of
the conferences at Laybach, that instead of lead-
ing to the establishment of despotism, they will,
on the contrary, extend the system of free Re-
presentative Governments throughout Italy. The
Austrian troops, it seems, have not yet passed the
Po ; but it is thought they will shortly make
a forward movement, to support the negocia-
tions which the Allied Powers are carrying
on with the revolutionary authorities at Naples.
The Morning Chronicle declaims in its usual strain
on " the atrocious confederacy of Despots,against
the internal Government of Naples." Now,
let' us see what this " atrocious confederacy"
amounts to. A band of conspirators, consisting
of the adherents of Murat, and directed by
the revolutionary faction in Paris, engage a mu-
tinous soldiery on their side, overpower the
Government, and force the King to adopt a
monstrous democracy, under the name of a
Constitution. These same men are in league
with the secret and treasonable societies spread
throughout the neighbouring States. The So-
vereigns of those States take the alarm, and
resolve, with the approbation of the King of
Naples, to put down the rebels. So far, there
is surely nothing in the conduct of the-Allies to
blame or to lament. It is true that in justify-
ing their proceedings, the Allies advance some
principles which are rather problematical.—
From these the British Government dissents. The
established doctrine of the best Jurists is, that
one state may interfere in the internal concerns
of another, when its own security is threatened
by the changes which occur in the latter. Upon
this ground Austria is clearly entitled to in-
terfere in the concerns of Naples ; for the
liberal party openly boast that the Neapolitan
RevolutionlOill excite the inhabitants of Northern
Italy to inctependence. If the Allies had rest-
ed hare, we must have been compelled to give
them our full approbation ; but they seem in ar-
gument to claim a larger right of prospective and
preventive policy, from which our Ministers
wisely dissent. We wish the surrounding States
to be secured against Revolutionary contagion ;
but we hesitate to acknowledge a right of national
interference for the mere speculative purpose of
establishing this or that political theory.

LONDON,
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1821.

Paris Papers of Tuesday last reached us this
morning. ills MAJESTY transacted business with
the Duke DE RICII/LIEU and Count SIMEoN.—
In the Chamber of Deputies, M. "MoussiEn-
BUISSON read the-Report of the Proceedings of
the Chamber on-the 10th instant, after which a
long and stormy debate took place. M. B.
CONSTANT moved its revision, and complained of
the great incorrectness with which the proceed-
ings were reported. Among other instances in
proof of his assertion he adduced the report of
the discussion on the Petition of Colonel ALLY,
respecting the two laws in contravention of the
Charter, touching the Liberty of the subject and
the Freedom of the Press. One of the Depu-
ties; 111.. REVEILLERE, on that occasion; attributed

the late attempts, and all the•disturbance.s which
have occurred, to the Liberty of the Press and
the Speeches delivered in the Chamber. These
opinions were repeated by other Deputies,
yet the Report slightly noticed them. He
then pointed out the great advantage that
would result to posterity from a correct re-
port of their proceedings. He also complained
that the speech of M. CASIMIR PERRIER, ob-
jecting to one of the irresponsible Ministers ad-
dressing the House out of order, was wholly
omitted, and concluded his speech by moving,
that the obser-vations of M. REVEILLERE and M.
PERRIER be inserted in the Report. M. DonoN
said, that the Report could necessarily contain
only a brief account of the Proceedings of the
Chamber, and defended his side of the House
from the insinuation of M. CONSTANT, stating
that they were as desirous for the Liberty of the
Press, and the publicity of their proceedings, as
their opponents. The motion was negatived.
Accounts from Augsburg, of the sth inst. state,
that the basis of the negociations at Laybach
are—first, the integrity of the Italian States, ac-
cording to the territorial arrangements in 1815 ;
and secondly, the admissibility of Representative
Constitutions for each of the Italian States,
which shall not however be opposed to
the Monarchical Principle and the Legitimate
Authority of the Sovereigns. It is added, that
the Court of Vienna has proposed the establish-
ment of an Italian Confederation on the plan of
the Germanic Confederation, in order to guaran-
tee better the future tranquillity of Italy.
Vienna Papers of the Ist instant mention that
the result of the deliberations of the Congress
will be sent to Naples without delay. It is sup-
posed that the military occupation of the'Nea-
politan States will shortly take place, and also
the long talked of passage of the Po.
From Naples it appears, that the PRINCE
REGENT is on the point of setting out for the
Abruzzes, to inspect the great military prepara-
tions in those Provinces. The greatest ardour
and patriotism continue to animate the Abruz-
zians. It iS said that the Austrian Admiral
PARQUALINI has received orders to proceed with
his flotilla on the Coasts of this Kingdom ; but
it is afterwards added, reports were in circula-
tion that the Austrian troops had gone into win-
ter quarters, and their cavalry had fallen back,
to which, however, no credit was attached.

Letters from Madrid of the Ist instant men-
tion that Archdeacon VINUESA, whose arrest was
alluded to in our Paper of yesterday, has refused
to answer the questions put to him by his
Judges. The General of the Capuchins, who
was tried for a r'presentation made to the Cortes
against the Spanish Constitution, has been sen-
tenced to banishment.

The Morning Chronicle, this day, recurs to the
subject of " the many brave and gallant Soldiers
now idle, who would glory in volunteering their
services in the Two Sicilies, if means were given
to equip and convey them to the field," yet, with
its usual congruity, admits, that in doing so they
would go contrary to law, without " license from
the Crown." What would this representative of
the 'Modern Whigs have ? While he one day
deprecates all interference in the domestic
concerns of another State, the next day he
urges Government to sanction a supply or British
troops in the cause of the Neapolitans, after too,
the British Government h.as rejected the applica-
tion of the Allied Powers to co-operate in any
measures which-they may think proper to adopt
agahlst the Revolutionists of Naples. The Bri-
tish Government has resolved on n-utrality on
the present occasion," and has announced its. de-
termination to the other Powers. Omitting,
therefore, all other considerations, it is evident
that without a violation of national faith, as well
as of municipal law, this Country cannot inter-
pose an the present occasion.

FOREIGN TaADE.--LTlte Select Cornmittee on

this subject resumed their sittings yesterday,
when Mr. HOLLAND- and Mr. M‘GurE were ex-
amined. The numerous witnesses who are to be
examined on the important subject, which is the
imm.ediate object of the consideration of this Com-
mittee, and the extreme anxiety manifested by
the great body of Shipowners and British North
American Merchants, and the length of time
Which must elapse before the Committee can get
through all the evidence that will be tendered
to them, induced us to expect, that the period
allowed for the admission of Colonial timber,
free of duty,-would be extended until the 31st
of January next, so as to allow all the ships of
the ensuing season to return from- the Colonies.
To extend the time to the 31st of July next will
certainly benefit the present holders of the
article? but not the British Ship 0 wners or the
