IDA.I,LY.-.EXTRACTS ERON-17111E MORNING PAPER:

[The Times.]
We yesterday received a private account from
Naples, stating that all the regular troops had
on the 14th ult. marched f-or the frontiers. The
regular force 'already there (meaning, we believe,
the north western frontier) 'consisted of -10,000
men, under Carascosa ; and of 40,000 militia, on
the line from Terracina, north of Sora. The de-
fect of militia would, of course, he on the side of
discipline ; but it is a want which may be power-
fully sup plied by patriotic zeal and courage. The
preservation of tranquillity in the capital itself,
was left to 15,000 of the civic guard, raised for
that express purpose, The King's letter, and
the hateful projects avowed by the Holy Al-
lience, had made Carbonari of the whole body
of our countrymen at Naples ; a•nd the uneasi-
ness at first created by the murder of the police-
officer was much removed when it became appa-
rent that the assassins had been influenced by pri-
vate revenge. •

It is muchtoberegetted that the accidental
failure of the House of Commons yesterday
( Which ought not, indeed, to occasion any surprise,
after the fatigue to which the Members, have
-been exposctd.Al4,N.veoc),s4uld have prevented
.tie Chancel-lot% . the Exchequer from bringing-.
ferw'ard tlifliet:lure for the more speedy resunip
tion of the Cadm Paynients•.of the, Bank. As this
measure is cif such general importance, and has

thouilat;ite.our.duty to,obtain the.most accurate
inftitimat(Cer -11 S te.' its object' and operation. By.

on the Ist May, I:Bg.`2;or at any time after, pay off
auy of their notes in cash. The object of this pro-
• was, to allow of a partial issue of gold to the
hefpre the Bank

make-their,general-payment in cash, by way of
.prephrtiiien:,and with a view to the gradually

that this preparatory and optional payment
should haVe:any effect upon the laws regulating
the' iSitiesOf Cotintrt Bankers, or the other cur-
rency :or the country. The Country Bankers
cannot' becalied upon to pay their notes in gold

resumption of Cash Payments by the Bank is to
take -place ; and they w ill be allowed to issue

The. agitating cirCtirnstances• of our time have
thrown the ,Wilmigr. Completely off: their • guard .
They-hut -/atq wolm,'-the = mask 'of Incideration.`
They'werw•iii the habit--during that, period of
denying..with,:Warmth concurrence •in any
project, which, under the-guise of reform, aimed
at a _fundamental ,change_ in the Constitution.
They took. ,so much-care .to, mark their opinions
in this respect, and -published them with such an
air of :ostentation, that, they provoked the full
wrath,. and drew upon themselves a : fair por-
tion of the abuse,-which the disaffected manifest
towards the friends of the established Govern-
ment,
.Instead of shrinking from, they seemed to
court this hostility. They used to call it a sure
test of the soundness of their principles, and they
'wereaaustomed to compliment themselves upon
tilt. hostility. with which they were treated by the
Itadicals.. In fact, an active warfare was waged
between both ; and the .Whigs carried it on with
so much spirit, mixed with Such contempt or
rather abhorrence of their ad versaries, that tile idea
Of a coMproMise, mech less of a reconciliation, was
not' thought of.' In their foreign policy, too,
which was always more equivocal, they evinced a
disposition to give up the'most obnoxious of their
principles, and seemed as. if they were willing to
renounce the" frippery of the French school for
the plain, honeSt, 'sterling worth of the English.
The Mt of a Throne, the overthrow of a State,
the Subjugation of an ancient Kingdom, the proS-
tration of a- brave people, and all the nuMber-
less atrocities aid miseries • accompanying
these acts, ceased to be objects of their' praise,
though perpetrated by their favourite worthies,
—the Champions. of Jacobitiisiri. They began
to speak With more reserve of those regenerators
who wrote their laws with the point of the
sword,•••and -puhlished their edicts -from the
mouth of a cannon: Even those military adven-
turers, who• made use of the. tree of liberty as a
ladtier to.moteb on Thrones, were no more the
objects •oft their unqualified panegyric. These,
and: the...oti.:er chief actors in theowild and sari,
guinary-drama -of that period, were seen to sink
in the, estimation of-time Whigs ; though it is but
jeStice to state that their cause; was declining.
lloweNer, the Whigs had the merit of turning, in
time; They did not stick to what was sup-
posed tp be- a desperate cause. They slunk into
the-rear of: the victors, and joined in the
trumphs of justice and of their country with all
the cheerfulness they could muster up for the
occasion.

[Morn;ng Chronicle.]
Tho calm-and observant part of -the commu-
nity base long foreseen that the Land-owners,
who have so unifory..ly, supported Ministers in
the wasteful syston that has at length brought
the people .to sut_ll misery, would become,the
most vehement in their lamentations Whet' the
consequences of their own folly came
.home to
them. Certainly the Mover _and Seconder of the
Motion for an Agricultural Committee were not
the hest entitled to take lead in such a measure;
nor it, it by an Agricultural Committee that an
impartial inquiry into the cause of the evil can be
made, and its effeotOal remedy lie proposed.-1

'The Cotinnittee should be general, to ascertain
the, state of :the country, and to make the
relief general. No shifting of burdens wili
do. The various classes are so dependent on one
another,.that one cannot be pinched without the
whole suffering. It is consoling to see, that with
all our hardships, and amidst all our contentions,
no party will suffer the slightest infringement on
national faith. . To the great and noble principle
of national faith we owe all our distress, because
to it_ we owe the accumulation of •Oir enormous
debt—since if we had not been just to the public
creditor, we could not have gone on borrowing
from year to year; but having, almost to our
ruin, been faithful to our erwagements, we must
look to the same principle of fidelity for the slow
means of national recovery. That can alone be
found in retrenchment. Notin paltry and trifling
reductions, but in broad and universal economy.
In cutting off every thing that can be spared—
and reducing the expence of every department
that must be continued—without this the time is
not distant, when NI ith all our honesty we must
be bankrupt.

' We yesterday received Paris Papers of Mon=
day, with private letters of the same date. The
only ' -communication of public interest from
Naples is, that tire Prince Regent, after the long
debate of the 1 sth nit., issued from the Hall of
the Parliament at the head of 'the Members, and
read before the assembled multitude a formal
Declaratior. of War 44 against Austria and the
coalesced Powers." We should suspect that
the Declaration must have been limited to the
first-mentioned Power. It is true the King
of Prussia has adhered to, the proceedings at Lay
back, and. the Austrian Declaration states, that
the magnanimous Alexander will assist his Impe-
rial :Brother, if.necessary. But still, whilst the
troops of these two nations keep out of the field,
it is not to be,supposed that Naples would be
the first to adopt a course declaratory of unequi-
vocal relations of war. We should therefore
conclude, that .this is one of the perfidious and
unavailing distortions of fact which The Gazette
de Erailce, and other journals of the same party,
daily send forth respecting Spain, Naples, and
Portugal. The intention of marching against
Rome is again ascribed to the Neapolitans—but
we disbelieve, it. They might have made a dash
upon Rome and seized the Austrian stores; but.
in this there would have been more ostentation
than value.

[British Press.]
An article of intelligence from Turin, of the
26th of last month, says, that the Grand Duke of
Tuscany is seriously indisposed, and it is remark-
ed that this.circumstance has probably prevented
the demand for an auxiliary Tuscan corps to act
against Naples from being pressed by the Austrians.
This Would imply that a demand to this effect
had been previously made by. the Court of Vienna,'
and the statement is the more remarkable as,
coming from Turin, whose Monarch must be
considered as placed in similar circumstances with
regard to the, contending Powers of Austria and
Naples, as those in which the Grand Duke of
'Tuscany finds himself. We should like to know:
whether a demand for an auxiliary corps had been
made to the King of Sardinia. Sardinia and!
Tuscany,were not invited to the Congress of Lay-
bach, they are therefore not parties to the ayes
sion upon Naples ; still if the pretenCe set up by"',
the great Allied Powers
.for interfering in the
affairs of Naples
.had the slightest pretence of
truth; these very Powers ought to be the foremost
in the attack, for they are more likely to be affect-
ed injuriously, either by any extraordinary deve-
lopment of the resources of Naples, or by the
destrUctive influence of the alleged anti-social
principles iinputcd. to the prevailing party in
Naples, should they assume an increased activity,
than Austria, Prussia, or Russia. The encroach-
ing power of Austria in Italy is no less displeas-
ing to the Princes of the Peninsula than it is de-
tested by the people. The jealousy of the Ultra
Montane States is as strong at this day in Italy
as at any time during the 15th and 16th centuries,
and Tuscany would ill brook to untie its few
troops under the Austrian banners, for the pur-
pose of promoting the influence of that overgrown
Power within the Peninsula.

A Pickpocket Detected and Apprehended by a
Dog.---A curious instance of the sagacity of a
dog was stated at Hattot-garden Office yesterday,
on the examination of three juvenile pickpockets,
❑amely, James ‘Newbury, aged years, Wil-
liam Camelford, aged. ten, and Charles Jewel,
aged nine, Mr. Edward King, of Hide-street,
Lijoonsbury, deposes,: that about eight o'clock
the preceding night, as he was:going along the
west side of Lincoln's-inn fields; he was accosted
by the, three prisoners, who folloWed him a short
distance, begging him to give them a halfpenny.;.
he deSired them to, be gone, and felt something
at his pocket, but did not suspect thei?\design
un)il he was alarmed by the screams cc& the
youagest prisoner; on looking round to ascertain
the cause, he found it proceeded, from his (Mr.
king's) dog having a hold of hiM by the coat,
and pulling him, and on his going to beat away
the dog, the dog let go his hold, and made' a
snatch at a handkerchief which the prisoner had
in his hand, and pulling it from him, gave it to
witness, who on looking at it-, discovered it. to, be
'his own ; the, person ran off, but he took him
and gave him in charge to, a watchman. The
prisoner informed the watchman that he would
find the other two who escaped sleeping in a
cart in French
.Horn-yard, Holborn, which proved
to be the case. Mr. Arnold, the Gaoler of
Clerkenwell, identified, the younger as a noted
pickpOcket who had bee❑ lately discharged from
prison.. The three prisoners 'swore. committed for
