In another column we have, given it detail the
Austrian Bulletin, dated Head Quarters, Antro-
docCo, to which we adverted yesterday, mention.

ing that General STurrEan.am had taken the
fort of Colle and the passage of Cocca di
Cervo. In our total ignorance of the Neapolitan
plans, we cannot presume to say whether the re-
trograde movements of General PEPE have been
the result of any combined system of operations;
but it would appear that,he is falling back on the
other divisions of the Neapolitan army, and that

his communications with them are still uninter-
rupted. The Austrian force iu the,Abruzzi have
yet a long and difficult march to Naples, through
a country which, from its natural positions,-ex-
poses them to the attacks of the peculiar de-
scription of troops to which they are immediately
opposed—we mean the Militia and Mountaineers
of the Abruzzi. The Calabrese Militia, very
similar to the Guerillas in their mode of warfare,
have marched to the frontiers, and will prove
able auxiliaries in the approaching conflicts.- The
King of NAPLES is arrived at Florence, on his
way to his capital.
The French Five per rents. are represented to have risen to
76 E 35_e.

As strenuous,
.determined, and . unalterable
friends to the best of Political Constitutions, and
the purest of Religions, we feel deep regret and
alarm at the success which has hitherto attended
Mr. PLUNK ETT'i Bills in the House of Commons.
If it were possible to suppose that they would pro-
ceed through both of the Legislative Bodies in.
the sane manner, we should consider them as the
presage of the total destruction of that Govern-
ment which has long rendered us the freest and the
happiest people on earth. We are astonished
that none of the Members of Parliament who
are adverse to the further Claims of Popery have
thought proper to notice that important Do-
cument issued by Dr. Ithr.xEn,- and circulated by
him among the Members of the'lliouse of Coln-
,mons, which appeared exclusively in,:our Paper
of yesterday, as it shews that the Roman.Ca-
"tholics are not satisfied Ni jai vlr. PLUNKETT's
and will not take any Oath tendinff to
interrupt their intercourse with the Spiritual Head
of their Church. That Document furnishes an
argument of the utmost importance to the question.
But whatiis not less extraordinary, none of the
Morning PaperS of this day have, thought proper
to insert it. Surely they 'cannot distrust its au-
' thenticity, signed as it is by the Doctor and two
other high Roman Catholic Authorities. We
'hope that the Provincial Journals will shew more
zeal for our happy Establishment in Church and
State, that our countiymen in general may see
that nothing will satisfy the Roman Catholics.
but the possession of that share of political au,
thority which may eventually enable them to
obtain the complete restoration of a Popish
Ascendancy in these realms, which they tell us
must be their duty to effect* indirectly, *and di-
rectly, whenever they possess the means to aceorn-
pliSh it. We trust, however, that there is still
wisdom and firmness sufficient in the Legisla-
ture to: preserve unimpaired our Political Sys-
tem and our National Faith.

MILITARY OPERATIONS.

" Headlquarters of Antrodocco, March 10, 1821

- , •
" Yesterday, the 9th inst., the division of Wahnoden
marched against Antrodocco. Tro columns detached from
Civita Ducale crossed the mountains to attack the enemy's -ear
in the passes of Borghetto and Antrodocco.

" This movement was executed without opposition. The
enemy, seeing that the whole Austrian division was operating
the same movement, abandoned the passes of Borghetto,;after
a feeble resistance. Their retreat was so precipitate and gene=_
ral, that only few prisoners were taken.-
" The heights- of Antrodocco were covered with chasseurs
(rifle corps), end some discharges of artillery shewed that the
enemy were numerous. Major d'Aspre, commanding the left
column, by a rapid march, attacked the formidable'Pass of An-
trodocco in the rear, drove the enemy from the position, and
took three pieces of artillery. He is now pursuing them.
" Four hundred deserters came over to us last night.
" The enemy's corps had orders-to retreat upon Aquila, and
there.reunite ; but they dispersed themselves in the mountains.
In this division of the enemy's army was the corps of the volun-
teers of Avellino, who were the promoters of the revolt in the
month of July ; but we were not able to get sight,of them.
" The Port de la Madona della Grotto, defended by General
Velatto, was occupied last night by the Austrian advance
guard.

" The army found provisions in gTeat abundance in the

A bruzzis.

" General Stutterheini has taken possession of the fort of
Colla, and of the pass of Cocca di Cervo."

HAMBURGII MAIL.

[RECEIVED THIS MORNING.]

•
LEIPSIG, MARCH 13.—The sprit of prose-
lytism increases more and more. But very lately
the son of a painter of this. city was converted to
the Catholic religion at Vienna, to the great grief
of his parents, who had not heard a word of the
change. lie is said to have been seduced to this
step by the new, or newly restored Order of the
R-edemptorists. The young man is already so
infatuated that he considers himself as a worker
of miracles, because some (apparently) sick per-
sons, introduced by those who converted him,
recovered instantly by imposing his hands on
them. Here too we have a secret proselyte
maker, who endeavours particularly to attract
young people of ardent imagination and of noble
birth, and partly by a lively representation of
the poetical order of the Catholic religion, partly
by impressing it on them that this religion is the
surest support of the Nativity, to gain them over
to his Church.. The Catholic Clergy here, too,
will not give the benediction of the Church to
any marriage between Catholics and Protestants,
or at the least make difficulties, till both parties
have promised to bring up all their children in
the Catholic Church. It may be asked whether
such irregularity and presumption, in defiance of
the equality of the two Churches pronounced by
the laws, ought to be suffered in the midst of a
Protestant Country, and under the' eyes of a
Protestant University ?, This University has,
indeed, made a complaint on this subject to the
Diet, now siting at Dresden, but we do not
learn that any notice has been taken of it by the
other Estates or by the Government. if we
consider what lately happened at Baun, it is
really high time that the Protestant Princes, as
Supreme Bishops of their Churches, should en-
force their authority as such against those who
are .ad verse to . it.

CASSEL, MARCH 15.—The late Elector has
ordered, in his will, that the Swiss Guard 4 in
the Lowenburg are to receive double pay for
ife, and to be dressed in black, as the guardians
of his grave.

RENDSBERG, MARCH 17.---=The navigation has
now again commenced. Yesterday' 14 -vessels

Great part of the Canal is already free from ice;
and the ,other part will shortly be clear, so that
there will be no obstacle to the navigation.
STOCKHOLM, MARCH 13.—The King has given

" STOCKHOLM, MAncn C.—Of the sum granted to his
Majesty by a Vote of Credit of the'Diet, for the purpose of
meeting unforseen expenses, his 'Majesty has taken up 100,000
dollars, and, as it is reported, placed this sum at the disposal
of the War Department. his Majesty has likewise proposed
