" TROPPAIT,

" SHORT .-TIEW OF TILE FIRST RESULT 3 OF THE

CONFERENCES. AT TROPPAIY.-

. " The event's of the Bth of March in Spain, of
2d July in Naples, and the catastrophe 'of Por-
tugal,:could.not but excite a deep feeling of nn.:-
rasiness and sorrow in all those who are bound
to provide:for the•security of states ; and, tit the
:,arne time, to-inspire them with a desire to unite
and jointly•to take into consideration how to en-
counter all die- evils which threatened to break
Qut. over Europe.

" It %vas natkr.-al that those 'feelings should es
pecially influence those powers who had lately
convered the revolution, and now see it raise its
head-anew and it was equally natural that thoSe
powers,'in- Order to oppose it for the third time,
should have recourse to the same means of which
they had made so successful a use in the memor-
able contest ‘thich freed Europe from a yoke
w 'di it had borne for 20 years..
Every thing encouraged the hope that this
ne!on, founded in the most dangerous circum-
stances, crowned by the most splendid success,
confirmed by the negotiations of 1814, 1815, and
18.18, as it had prepared, founded, and complet-
ed the- peace of the :world—as it had delivered
the European continent from the tyrannyof the
revolution—would also be able to check a now
ito less tyrannical, no less detestable power—
the power of rebellion and crime.
4‘ These were the motives, this the otject of
the Congress of Troppan. The former are so
evident, that they want no further explanation ;
the latter so salutary and honourable, that the
wishes of all honest' persons will doubtless attend
the All:ed Courts in their noble career.

" The task which the most sacred obligations
impose on them is great and difficult; but a happy
presentiment lets them 'hope that they shall at-
tain their object in the unalterable maintenance
,of the spirit of those treaties to which Europe
hives peace, and the Union between all the States.
" The powers exercised an undisputed right
when they consider of joint measures of precau-
tion against States- in which an overthrow of the
Government, effected by rebellion, even consi-
dered only as an exarnle, must give occasion to
a hostile attitude towards all legitimate Consti-
tutions and Governments.- The exercise of this
right became the more urgent, --when those who-
had come into this situation endeavoured to com-
municate the misfortune which they had drawn
on themselves to the neighbouring countries, and
to spread around them rebellion and confusion.
In such an attitude, in -such conduct, there
is an evident breach of the compact which en-
sures to all the European Governments, besides
the inviolability of their territory, also-the enjoy-
ment of those peaceftil relations which exclude
every reciprocal* encroachment.
" This incontrovertible fact was the point from'
:which the 'Allied Courts departed. The Mink

SOLEhI QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT?

LONDON,
FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1821.

We are informed that two or theee Expresses
have arrived this morning from Paris, which
bring. the-important information, that the Pied-
montese and the whole of the North of Italy have
wid declared in favour of the Neapolitans,;
.and that when, the accputits came away, they were
• -
assembling an army of forty thousand men, to
•march immediately to the assistance of the .
A
Nea-
politans
. great number of ,French Orcers,
formerly.in the. service of BUONAPARTE, have
joined the Standald of the. Piedmontese.
The.Fiidag, wliich' yesterday were 73t, left
off, at 7311 ; and this morning they are

The Monitour 'of Tuesday last, •whiCh arrived
at a late hour last night, furnishes no confirmation
of the report of a battle having been fought, in
Which the Neapolitans were said to be the vic-
tors. , Though it contains intelligence from
Milan of so recent•a date as the4tb, and no allu-
sion is niade to the_above rurnour,'• yet from the
tenor of the last. accounts from Genoa we have.
little doubt that partial skirmishes have taken
place between the advanced posts of both armies,'
which in all probability have been followed by'a
more serious conflict. The following were., the
last accounts received at Milan from the Austrian
Army :-

" The division of WALMODEN, which has . ar-
rived along the coast of the Adriatic at Seravalle,
came into communication on the 21st, near Fa-
ligno, with the vanguard of the General in Chief

Baron FRIMONT. This v,anznard, thus rein-
forcedi advanced An the n4th towards Spoletto.

" The division' of STUTTERHEIM • remains at.
Civita Castellana, to cover the. right flank of the
General in Chief ; it communicates with him by
the way of Narng and San Geuelia, by meatis -of
detached posts.
" The Neapolitan General, FILANGIERI, was
near Fondi, with a small corps, Gen. AncovELA
at Sa►> Germano, and CEPItANI and PEPE near
Acqui.
" On the 20th, 3000 men of the corps of Purr,
with nine pieces of cannon, appeared at Rieti,
after pushing their advanced guard as far as
Terni. On the another advanced guard of
1000 men (as the first was), appeared at Monte
San-Vito, towards Spoletto. This corps had
come from Aquila by the way of Leonessa.
" The iNeapolitan who bad advanced upolt
Fermo and Ascoli have fallen back on the 20th,
upon Aquila.

" P.S. Every thing gives ground to believe,
that very few military events will occur upon the
frontier of Terracina, hut that important affairs
will very soon take place in the Abruzzi.—
The Neapolitans have concentrated their prin-
cipal forces on this side."

MIL C viNixo.—This Gentleman, it seems,
arrived in town on Wednesday, and, according
to report, for the avowed purpose of supporting
the Roman Catholic Claims. We conceive, how-
ever, that he is too prudent to let the motive of
his return be first stated throu'gh the medium of a
Newspaper, and too much attached to THE CON-
STITUTION to advocate measures which may tend
to its total overthrow, though he may object to
the introduction- of the subject, at Meetings for
celebrating the birth-day of our departed States-
man) the illustrious and the unrivalled WILLIAM
PITT.

The letters received yesterday from the
British North American Provinces are far from
satisfactory—the Colonists are in the greatest
state of depression, from the apprehension that
they will be obliged to abandon the Timber
Trade, from the alteration which they have lately
been led to anticipate in the duties on Timber,
by reducing the
.duty on Foreign Timber, and
taxing its importation from our own Colo-
nies. Under this impression, we hear that
they have transmitted petitions on this most
important question to his MAJESTY and both
Houses of Parliament, earnestly praying that
the present system of duties may remain unal-
tered, inasmuch as any alteration must tend to de-
preis and injure them, who are compelled to
resort to this country for the supply of every
article, Which either convenience or comfort re-;
quires. For our own parts, we cannot but re-
mark that a kind of FATALITY has attended our
conduct towards our Colonies, marked by an
apparent insensibility of their value, and disre-
gard for the continuance of their connection with
us ; but we hope that ere it is too late their import-
ance will receive that consideration which it de-'
serves, not only as they contribute so largely to
maintain and employ our Shipping, but as they
are annually increasing their demand for British
manufactures. At the same time we ought to
recollect, that these Colonies are strictly con-
fined in their trade, and compelled to carry
it on through this Country, which derives
all the advantages of supplying them ; and
that it is not only impolitic to lessen
their means of procuring our manufactures,
but that it is no more than just that they
should derive some advantages in return.—
The connection must be founded on a prin-
ciple of reciprocity, or it can never exist.
In short, we feel in common with every man
of practical experience surprise at the de-
lusion which prevails in a particular quarter on
this subject,—a delusion for which we can only
account, by supposing that it arises from too
great a regard being paid to theory, whilst
facts remain wholly unobserved by those who
are affected with it. .IVben we allude to persons
in official situations, we wish to be understood
that we impute no improper motives to them,
because our view Of a. subject is different from
theirs ;—they have no sordid interest, we know,
to gratify : 'andi therefore, they can never be
actuated by dishonourable motives; but, as they
may be influenced by predilections for particular
theories and systems, • their conduct may be
frequently wrong, and not wholly free from
blame. Alta we turn from time consideration
of the system of the present day with plea-
sure, to that which was the system of the
enlightened individuals who presided a FEW
YEARS since at the Board of Trade ; and we re-
collect with feelings of the highest satisfaction
the minute, laborious, and patient investigation
which the Question now before us received from
them. 'The facts which resulted -from their in-
quirks are still on record at the Board of Trade,
with the principles and maxims which . they de-
duced.from them. These principles and maxims,
and the system founded upon them, have since un-
dergone the test of experience, and the ad-
vantages which have resulted from .them
have exceeded the expectations of their must
sanguine advocates. Why those advantages
are now'to be'sacrificed we know not. If it is TO
REDEEM some pledge which has been given to a
Fonktors POWER, we think that such a ground
is not Sufficient to. warrant it ; for the pledge
must have been 'given hastily, unadvisedly,
and without being founded upon proper autho-
rity. It had not received legislative sanc-
tion ; and therefore we think that such a.
. pledge ought to be wholly thrown out of the
consideration • on this question. That such a'
pledge in&.been given we fear there is too
touch reason to believe, for it has been mention-

ed with an air of authority in the City, by those
who expect to be benefited by it, and we believe
some intimation of this nature fell from one of the
foreign witnesses iti the course of his examination
before the Select Conimittee, but, of course, if this
was the case, it will appear in the printed ev.i-
dence;*-That such ••a, pledge should haVe been,,
gin to the Prussia►t or any' other Government`,
we most deeply lament, since the Country. which
received it may complain if it is retracted, as we
conceive it must and ought to be, upon -every
ground ;—not only as •it was an unconstitutional
and improper anticipation of the judgment of the
Legislature op this question, displaying too
great confidence in the strength and iniluence of
Party in Parliament, but as an adherence to this
pledge is fraught with the most pernicious evils
to all the HOME INTERESTS, extending from the
Colonial and Shipping Interests, to every one or
the -Manufacturing and Agricultural Interests of
the Country..

POPERY.—It appears by the Votes .of the
!louse of Commons of last niglit,that Mr. CROKEII
has given the following. Notice for this evening :
—that (in case the Roman Catholic Bill should
be read a second time) he intends to move,
that it be an instruction to the Committee on the
Bill, to make provision for •the maintenance of
the Roman Catholic Clergy. The advocates of
Popery triumphantly anticipate that they will
have a majority of forty-two •in favour of the
Bill ; we
.shall larnent very much if it should be
so, because we know it that will give rise to great
and general dissatisfaction throughout the Coun-.
try. Lord CASTLER EAGII and his immediaCe Party
in the Administration have taken upon .them-
selves an awful responsibility by Supporting these.
innovations on the fundamental laws of the Con-
stitution. We wish to know., 'with what consis-
tency and decency this Modern Statesman can
oppose. the Repeal of the Test and Corporation
Act, after the conduct he has pursued on this
subject. If he is justified on this occasion, he
surely must concede to the Dissenters •what he
gives to the Papists.—His Lordship should there-
fore speak out, and declare at once to what lengths
he intends to go, and not suffer the Protestants
of all denominations to remain any longer in
their present state of painful suspence. •We call
on the Country Gentlemen, and every other Man
in Parliament, who is a friend to CIVIL. Ave RE-.
LIGIOUS LIBERTY, to require some explanation
from his Lordship on these points. We ought
at once to be let into all the views of the Popish
Party, that we may know what we have to ex-
pect from them, and be prepared, should these
Bills be read a second time, to give every
constitutional opposition to them in their fur-
ther stages through both Houses of Parliament.

TIMBER DCTI Es.—The appointment Of a Com-
mittee of the whole House on Thursday next, on
the Timber Duty Acts, has created a strong sen-
sation in the City ; as the parties interested both
in London and at the Outports have not yet seen
either the Report of the Select Committee, or the
Evidence on which it is supposed to be founded.
They naturally expected, that at least ten days
would be allowed them, between the delivery of
the report, and before any proposition was, sub-
mitted to Parliament upon it. We hope they
will not be disappointed in that respect. We
know they are eminently entitled to that. consi-
deration and attention from the present. Govern-
ment,'and we trust that they will receive it ; for
the most painful anxiety is, we understand,, felt
throughout the 'Maritime districts on this subject.

Jamaica Popers to the 20th of January, re-
ceived yesterday, announce the convalescence of
the Duke of MANCHESTER. Ills Grace Alas able
on the 13th to attend to business, and public
meetings were convened to congratulate him
upon his recovery. The capture of Lima by
Lord COCHRANE, lately announced in the Ameri-
can Papers, has been since contradicted by more
recent advices received at Cadiz, and communi-
cated in the Paris, Journals. The Jamaica Pa-
pers confirm the latter accounts.
Demerara and Berbice Journals; the former to
the 21st, the latter to the 4th of January, reached
our Office yesterday.—From Berbice we are in-
formed of the death of his Excellency Major
THISTLETUWAYTE (of the Queen's .Royal. Re-
giment), Acting Lieutenant-Governor of Ber-
bice, and that his Excellency., Sir FREDERICK
ROBINSON had 'appointed Six Joint CAMERON,
K. C. B. to the temporary administration of the
Civil Government of that Island`; Sir JOHN CA-
MERON took the oaths on the 22d of December.—
From Demerara. We learn, that a complaint has
been made to his Excellency the Governor by
Mr. COCHRANE JoitNsTONE:- against- the Preisi,
dent of,the Court of Policy for extortion,a.s.wal
as for being unjust in refusing to receive him as
evidence in a certain cause wherein he Was con-
cerned. His refusal arose in consequence of a
writ of outlawry having been issued and .now ac-
tually in force against Mr. JOHNSTONE' (the writ
of outlawry was issued against him on the occa-
sion of the: memorable fraud .committed on :the
Stock' Exchange, in irlach Lord COCHRANE and.
others were implicated.),—ln consequence of se-
veral alleged abuses in. the puWic departments
in the Island, his. Excellency has given permis-
sion for a Public Meeting to be held to take the
same into consideration.

Yesterday the Duchess of CLARENCF. took an
airing in her carriage, and visited the Princess

Front Manchester we yesterday received the
follo%iing gratifying communication :—" I am
happy to inform you that several large orders
have been received from the Continent within these
few days, and on the whole, business is, certainly
improving."

A County 'Meeting will be held at the Castle
of Exeter, on Friday next, at 12 o'clock, in pur-
suance of a requisition to the High Sheriff, to pe-
tition Parliament against making any further con-
cessions in favour of the Roman Catholics.
