LONDON,
THURSD .117, .31_11W11 29, 1821.

There have been so many false reports in fo-
reign Journals, and so many misrepresentations
in those of this metropolis, respecting the state
of affairs between Austria and Naples, that it is
difficult to form any correct or probable opinion
on those grounds as to the actual course of
events. We therefore feel highly gratified
when, from our own resources, -We are able to ob-
tain any communication on which we can depend.
We have this day seen a private Letter from
_Geneva, dated the 23d instant, which stated,
that intelligence had been received from Milan
of a Counter-Revolution having taken place at
Naples.—No accounts could be learnt of Gene-
ral PE. r, arid CAR_ISCOSA was reported to be in
full retreat. A re-action was likewise expected
to take place at Turin.—We give this extraordi-
nary account without comment, observing, how-
ever, that it came to us from a very respectable
quarter.

Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday last have
arrived, but they contain no confirmation of
either of the reports in circulation yesterday.—
The first, stating that a decisive battle was fought
on the 13th and 14th, near Rome, in which the
Austrians were defeated, with considerable loss,
still rests on the authority of private communica-
tions from Italy. It is reported that a Gentle-
man arrived in town yesterday, who left Pesaro
on the 17th, Alexandria the 19th, and Turin the
21st, bringing the intelligence above mentioned ;
in addition to which he states, that 30,000 Pied-
montese had marched to Milan, arid 6,000 to
Piacenza, and that no report of a counter-revolu-
tion at Naples, or of the Austrians having entered
that city, existed at Turin on the 21st. In oppo-
sition to this statement, we subjoin the following
intelligence, received by express this morning
from Paris, communicating a private letter from
Milan• of the 20th, which mentions that the Aus-
trians had made themselves masters of Naples.—
We do not place much credit in this report, as we
understand that Govarnment have received a dis-
patch from Ancona, dated the 19th, which con-
tains no account of the entrance of the Austrians
into Naples :

" PARTS, TUESDAY ArTEIIIIOOY,
" Half-past 2 o'Clcck.

" I have just seen who has given me the
following extract of a letter from Milan. lie does
not place implicit confidence in the report con-
tained in it, though lie thinks it worth attention

. ALILA.N, MARCH 20.-it is reported that the Austrians
" have made themselves masters of Naples, and that they en-
." tend, in consequence 6f a capitulation with the President cf
" the Government. it is said that the latter is to grant a sort
" of Constitution,
.ag falourable in its,. nature to the Aristo.
" eracy, as that of Spam is of a contrary character."
" On one report, however, my' informant as-
sur.?.'; r.:. that I may rely : it is, that the Aus-
trian and Itu4sian Ministers were very anxious to
leave Turin, but that the new Sovereign pre-
-vailed upon them to stay, saying that he was
determined to take no'part in the war on either

" Tw•o couriers are just arrived from ROMP,
which they left on the 13th. They have brought
dispatches both to the French and Austrian Go-.
vetatnents, to the effect, as I am assured, that the
Austrians are every where received with open arms!
that they experience no resistance either from the
people or the army, which latter not only makes
no stand, but disperses in all directions. •

" The rentes opened at 77f. 50c. They are
now 77f. 80c. This rise is attributed to the re-
port of the Austrian Ambassador having received
an express, announcing the advance of the Aus-
trian Army without resistance.
" A friend of mine dined yesterday with a
merchant, who left the Ncapolitan head quarters

on the 1C:11 : he states, that up to that time not
a musket had been fired.
" Three o'Cloek.—The rentes have reached
781. The report continues that the Austrians
are in full advance on Naples (observe they are
nut in Naples,) and that the Neapolitans retire
without tiring a shot."
Accounts from Naples of the 11th contain the
Neapolitan Bulletin of the affair at Rieti, and
state that the Prince Regent has set out for the
army. The following articles are extracted from
the Journal des DI-bats 0: Tuesday.

" NArr.rs, MARCH 11.—The Government has
just published the first bulletin of our army, It
is in substance as follows:

" Gen. Pepe having heard that the _Austrians
were concentrating themselves in force at Rieti,
vent a strong reconnoitring party against them.
An engagement ensued, and the Austrians were
the attackers. Our soldiers sustained the attack
for seven hours. The General, perceiving new
reinforcements arrive to the Austrians, ordered a
retreat. The enemy returned to their positions.
They . had many men killed. We had about
thirty killed and wounded.
" On the Bth, at 4 in the afternoon, their
Royal Highnesses the Duke of Calabria and the
Prince of Salerno left this capital for the. army.
" The Prince Regent's departure has been an-
nounced to the Parliament by the following mes-
sage, which has this day been posted in the
streets :

" The events of the war render my presence with the army
necessary. lam about to repair to it, and shall make frequent
journies thither, dividing my time between the camp and the
capital, in order that the various affairs of the state may not be
neglected.
" During my absence my mind is tranquil. I leave amidst
you all that I hold most dear in the world—my beloved family.
I confide in the affection which has been constantly shown me
by the population of Naples, and in the excellent conduct and
zeal of the National Guard, which has enabled me to render
the troops of the line disposeable for the defence of the country.
" My confidence in the Neapolitans is unlimited, in the same
manner as I see that theirs in me is equally so. This reciprocal
sentiment will certainly be justified.
(Signed) " FRANCIS, Regent."
" Naplos, March 7."

cc The Prince Regent has appointed for his
officers of ordnance, the Duke of Casoli, the
Prince of Allieno, the Prince of Torulla, the
Marquis Brancacchio, Count Niscemi and Count
Partanna.

" A decree of the Prince Regent orders all
landholders and farmers, as soon as they fee the
enemy advancing, to remove every kind of provi-
sions and forage behind th© lines of the army.
An account will be taken of their losses.

" Our troops occupy Ascoli, under the orders
of Camp-Marshal Verdinosi, and maintain good
discipline, with which the Pontifical Authorities
have expressed their satisfaction."
The further extracts from the French Papers
which we subjoin furnish additional particulars
respecting the Revolution in Piedmont, and the
late insurrectionary movements in the South of
France.

" PARIS, MARCH 26.—The King of Sardinia
is expected here. Preparations are making at
the Elysee de Bourbon for his reception. His
Majesty's brother, the Duke de Genevois, has
protested against the late proceedings at Turin.
" The several garrisons in Savoy are ordered
up to Turin.
" Baron Bender, the Austrian Ambassador in
Piedmont, passed Mont-Cenis on the 21st.
" A letter from Turin, dated March 20, states,
that on the 17th a division of artillery marched
for the frontiers. The citadel was to be occupied
by the National Guard."—(Journal Dec De-
bats.)

" Some of our readers reproach us for our si-
lerlce on the actions between the Austrians and
Neapolitans. Our silence speaks for itself."—
(Constitutionel.)

" The most recent intelligence received from
Grenoble states that tranquillity prevails in
that city. The Chamber of Accusation of
the Royal Court has, in virtue of article
233 of the code of criminal instruction, taken
cognisance of the affair of the 20th instant, and
appointed one of its members to act as examining
judge. M. Ferdinand Dalpozzo, who has been
appointed Minister of the Interior in Pied-
mont, was formerly a member of the French le-
gislative body. He was also President of the
Court of Appeal for Genoa and Rome. M. Bus-
solmo, appointed to the war and marine, has serv-
ed as a Colonel in the French army. M. Guber-
natis, appointed Minister of Finance, was, while
the French governed Italy, sub:prefect of Parma.
Count Christiani, appointed Director-General of
Police, was a prefect in France. He is known
in Piedmont for an address he made to a cele-
brated personage during the hundred days.
" The reply of the Duke of Genevois has reach-
ed Turin, and has caused the greatest sensation
there. He declares that he considers himself

the first subject of the King, Victor Emmanuel ;
that he will not accept the proposition made to
him of usurping the throne ; and that he protests
against every thing that has taken place con-
trary to the will of the Monarch and the tran-
quillity of Piedmont.—(Gazette de France.)
C 4 We learn from Chamberry, under the date of
the 20th, that, on the garrison being called out,
to swear fidelity to the new government, the
troops broke their ranks at the moment when they
were required to take the oath. Most of the sol-
diers carried off their arms. The discontent is
general in Savoy, and we are assured that much
discontent also prevails in Piedmont. The King
is regretted ; the desertions from the army in-
crease rapidly.—(lbid.)
" Copies of the Constitution of 1791 are spread
out with profusion i❑ the shops of the booksellers
accustomed to vend pamphlets and revolutionary
libels. Is this because the rebels of Grenoble
called for that Constitution or rather was it not
the show made of this book which induced them
to report that the Constitution of 1791 had been
proclaimed at Paris ? Be this as it may, those
who wish to revive the sovereignty of the people
and the right of insurrection, and to overthrow
the existing order of things, ought to procure for
themselves this Constitution proscribed by the
Charter.---(kid.)

" We are assured that the Duke of Belluno is
appointed Commandant Extraordinary of the
Sixth Military Division. (Besancon), the seventh
(Grenoble), and the nineteenth (Lyons). lie
will establish his head-quarters in the last city.
" A great many reports were circulated yester-
day, on the authority of an English courier from
Italy. The name of this English courier was
said to be Thomson. We can assure our readers
that no English courier has arrived here.
" To the details we gave the day before yester-
day respecting the criminal attempt at Grenoble
on the 20th, we have to add that the authorities,
perceiving that the standard Of. revolt was hoist-
ed, were bound in terms of the law to declare
the town iu a state of siege. In thin adopting,
however, the means of making the King's autho-
rity be respected, the course of justice was not
disturbed ; and the Royal Court revoked, the
sentences of the guilty. The troops, as French
soldiers always do, replied to the cry of rebellion
by exclaiming Vive le Rui ! and dispersed the
mob with the but-ends of their musquets. On
the 21st, complete tranquillity prevailed through-
out the city, and every thing promised that it
would not be troubled.

" A letter from Turin, dated the lath, says that
the new King of Sardinia has written to the
Prince of Carignano, that he will accept the
Crown, if his brother's abdication be free, and if
he persist in it ; but that he will annul whatever
has been forced from the Regent by revolutionary
influence, and will freely give a Constitution
suitable and conformable to the wants of the
country and to enlightened opinions.

" Letters from Geneva state that the late events
in Piedmont have produced universal satisfaction
in the western Swiss Cantons, the trade of which
suffered extremely from the prohibitory system
adopted by the Sardinian Government with re-
spect to foreign merchandise. The inhabitants
of Savoy having been long deprived of all lite-
rary communication with France, have eagerly
written to their correspondents at Lyons and
Geneva, to send them political and constitutional
works, of which they are completely destitute.
" We read in the G az.elle, of Lyons of the 20th
what follows :—" Yesterday was perfectly tran-
quil : the Prefect and the Mayor have restored
confidence to all good citizens, by contradicting
disquieting news, and have done justice to the
good spirit of the inhabitants of the city. An-
nexed are the notices which they have posted up.

" THE PREFECT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TILE RHONE

TO THE INHABITANTS OF LYONS.

" Absurd reports were circulated yesterday, and a momen-
tary uneasiness was the consequence.
" These reports, destitute of all foundation, are incontestably
the work of Malevolence, which wishes to create disorder to
furnish pretexts for accusing the Lyonese population, and to
disturb, along with the peace which our city enjoys, the com-
mercial relations that form its prosperity.
" The Authorities are confident that, under these circum-
stances, the Lyonese will afford a proof of the good spirit which
animates them, and that, jealous for the preservation of that
character of wisdom and moderation which they have acquired,
they will give fresh proofs of their attachment to order, of their
love of our new Institutions, and the King to whom we owe
them.

" Lyons, March 12. _ " LEZAY MARNEZIA."

" MAYORALTY OF LYONS.

" The most absurd reports were yesterday evening circulated
among the public by malevolence.
" But the good spirit which animates the inhabitants of this
city has not belied itself. They have known how to oppose the
most perfect tranquillity to the efforts of the enemies of the
King, who are also those of the country.

" Lyonese, you will repel the aggressions of the partisans of
disorder, under whatever mask they present themselves ; and
you will not allow that perfect tranquillity which you have con-
stantly enjoyed, and to which you are indebted for the prospe-
rity of your trade and manufactures, to experience the slightest

interruption. In the pitsent cireumstanus, as in eVcry other,
you will give a new proof of your unalterable attachment to the
King, and to the invaluable institutions which France owes to
him.

" Lyonese, confide in your magistrates • they watch for you;
and they will equally justify the contidence of the Govern-
inent and their fellow-citizens.

The following are extracts from French Pa-
pers received this day, March 29 :
" A UGSBCIIGIIS MARCH 42(1—Letters from
Venice, of the 11th, contradict the news that the
harbour of this city was blockaded; bat several
'Neapolitan ships of war have been seen in the
northern part of the Adriatic GOO, and serious
fears were entertained that they would capture
some Austrian merchant vessels. As soon as it
was known at Venice that thy Neapolitans had
entered the Gelph, the rates of insurance and
freight rose very considerably. The Austrian
flotilla, at the approach of the Neapolitan squa-
dron, took refuge its the Ports of Ancona and
Zara.

" YBACH, MAUCH it-It is affirmed that
immediately after the arrival of the Courier who

GAZETTE OF FLORENCE.

" FLORENCE, MARC/I 17.—After the publica-
tion of the Gazette this day, we have received
from Rome, dated the 15th, the following news,
which appears to us of the greatest importance :
" On the evening of the 11th, three dis-
patches arrived at Naples, to his Royal High-
ness the Duke of CALABRIA. The first,
coming from the Abruzzi, announced that
General PEPE had been abandoned by his troops
after his first rencontre with the Aus-
trians ; the second, that at Gaeta the army had
revolted against General BERGANI ; the third,
brought a request to his Royal Highness, from
General CARRASCOSA, to proceed immediately to
Aversa, in order that he might have an inview
with him. His Royal Highness thought it better,
instead of going himself, to send Gen.F.IRDELLA,
with the Minister of War. On the 12th, these
two personages returned to the capital, and after
having explained the state of things, the Parliament
assembled, and ordered the Duke of CALABRIA to
address a Message to the KING, in thek-name of
the Assembly, to declare their respect and sub-
mission to his MAJESTY, and to invite him to re-
turn to the Capital.
" The town of Naples is quiet.

" Other letters from Terracina, dated the 14th,
announce that the. war is ended, and the Parlia-
ment dissolved, after having surrendered all their
power into the hands of the PRINCE REGENT.
" Lieut.-General F.UIDELL.I dispatched by the
Duke of CALABRIA, arrived on the 15th at half-
past nine in the morning at Rome, and presented
himself at the Palace Farnese, in the hope of find-
ing the King there. Being informed that his MA-
JESTY was at Florence, he continued his journey
for that Capital."

Yesterday a Court of Directors was hold at
the East India Ifo-use, when Captain T. IVI‘TAG-
oAnT was sworn into the command of the ship

MADrun, Ikl.tacn I-I.—Letters from Ceuta of
the ‘2,1 March give the following, accounts
Muley Ibrahim left Taugeip yesterday for Te-
tuan, passing by the district of Amhara, ou the
other side of-,tlie chain of mountails Which di-
vides this littlrNinsula from the Continent.—
lie was accompanied by a thousand horse of
Chelang, beside the suite of Nobles whom he
brought with him, among whom is Cid Egleach
Alarbe der llacern, counsellor and director of tf4e
father of Ibrahim Muley Eli AI-cid, in the siege
which lie laid to this place in the years 17'A
and 1791.

The prodigality of this young Candidate for
the Crown appr'ars to increase his party against
his uncle Muley Soliman, though the latter has
received '23 field pieces, purclyaed at GibrzOtar
by Ben Olier, the Council of Morocco, which
have been handed at Jaraehe. The Xephew has,
given '2O piastres to the Cavalry and tO to thf.r
Infantry of all the troops of this Canton, and
is reported that the peopin of the Country say,
that GOD assists him.

We have heard to-day a heavy cannouad to-
wards Tetuan, which being a repetition of what
we heard yesterday on the same side, dives
res-
son to surpect that it proceeded, from resikitance•
to Ai ttley Ibrahint, and not to rcjoicint., especially

which, after mentioning that the prospect of

LrsnoN, MAncn 13.—TheCortes 2tin contincte"
their discussions very regularly, without any et-
traordinary occurrences. The bases of the Colt.-
stitution are now published in the following De-
cree, printed for the use of the Members of th'd.
Cortes :

The General and Extraordinary Cortes or
the Portuguese nation, before proceeding to form
a political constitution, recognize and decre'*
as the bases of it, the following principle.. 85
being the best adapted to .secure the individual
rights of the Citizen, and to establish the orja-
nization and limits of the political powers of the'
State.

The fifteen Articles of the first Section, "
the individual rights of the Citizen," are
for the most part left as they were first
proposed by the Committee appointed to
draw them up. Articles S, 9, 10, relate to. tha
liberty of the Press. The free communication of
his thoughts is one of the most precious rights of
man ; therefore, any citizen may express his opi-
nion on every subject, without depending on 3.
previous censorship, being responsible for the
abuse of this liberty in cases which the law de-
termines. The Cortes shalt make this law ag
soon as possible, and shall appoint a special Com-
mittee to protect the liberty of the Press, anti
repress its abuses. As for the abuse which may
JC made of it in religious matters, the Bishol)s
retain the censorship of writings published ()
religious dogmas and morality, and the Govern"
went will aid the Bishops its punishing the guiltP
In tht Section is introduced Article 25,.
which says, " The Constitution must clearly fiX.
the division of the three Powers, the. Executlve,
the Legislative, and the Judicial. The Legisla
tive resides in the Cortes, depending on the sanc-
tion of the King, who is never to have an absolute

Veto, but only a suspensive Veto, according to
the manner which the Constitution shall deter-
mine." This does not include the laws made in
the present Cortes, which shall not be subject to
any Veto whatever.

The executive power is in the King and his
Ministers acting under his authority. The judi-
cial Polver is in the'Judges. 25, The direct ini-
tiative of the laws belongs to the Cortes alone.
P 3) The King cannot be present at the declara-
lions of the Cortes, but only at the opening and
close of the Session. 29, The Cortes are to
name the Regency when it is necessary. They
alone can approve Treaties of Alliance, Subsidy,

or Commerce ; allow or refuse the entrance of
Poreign troops; fix the value, weight, standard,
'and impression of the Coin.-30, A permanent
Junta of the Cortes shall reside at the Capitol.
317 The person of the King is invaluable,
but the Ministers are responsible. 3`2, The
Cortes fix the Civil List at the beginning
of every reign. 33, There shall be a Coun-
cil of State composed of members proposed by
the Curies. 34, The imposition of taxes, and
ttle
manner of raising them, shall be fixed by the
Cortes alone, &c.
The Decree bears the signatures of all the
members of the Cortes.—(Diario da Regencia,
