We received Paris Papers this day of the 18th
allds 19th inst., the contents of which are highly
interesting., and will be found in other columns
of mar Paper. The following are additional
particulars :

PARIS, MARCH 19.—Commercial Couriers
arrived from Naples, bring news of the 6th and
7th of March. The most perfect tranquillity
pre►ails in the Capital, and in the whole King-
-40r2, notwithstanding the departure of the troops
for the frontiers. Naples, with the exception of
the forts, is protected' by the inhabitants, who
are formed into a civic-guard. This corps, com-
Poged of the flower of the citizens of that city,
distinguished by its flue appearance, its exact-
*egg in the performance of its duty, and its at-
tachin-eut to the dynasty of the Bourbons and to
the Constitutional Goveinment. It had desired

to march to the frontiers to make the campaign
with the army, but the Parliament would not

cenisqnt to the departure of a corps so necessary
to the preservation of order and tranquillity. The
civic guard consists of 16,000 men, divided into
fo!sr regiments of infantry and two of cavalry. •
Cc. The Geridermerie, also a civic corps corn-
Posed- of the flower of the Army, consists of
4000 foot and 2000 horse. This corps also of-
fered to join tile army,.but the Government do-
assuring the Commander, that his brave
total
'ell 'should be employed in case of need.—
The many demands of this nature shew the spirit

Regent,has set out for the army, accom-

We this day received the cottents of Spanish
-PaP(‘rs to the Sth inst., which are of little im-
Portance, but of which we give the substance :
"ITERRIERA ESTRVIIADURA,MA.RCH 2.—A buelo
continues in the prison of this city, and though
there is a strong guard of National Militia, we
wish he 'Were removed to a more secure prison,
because the guard is badly armed, and there is
but little ammunition.
4‘ MONAVAIL, MARGIT I.—All this country is
alztrni; the rebels increivie. We learn that

they yesterday attacked the Convent of Nuns
at Santa Fay, and stripped it of every thing va-
luable, to the amount of 5000 piastres. if this
is done in the vicinity of a town which, besides
its garrison, has a national militia respectabi for
its number and discipline, whatmay we not ex-
pect in other parts, where this wise and vigorous
measure of the Government is not yet in activity ?"

Twelve o'Clock.—The Stock Market continues
in a very unsettled state. Yesterday afternoon
Consols for the account left off 701-.---The debate
on the Malt Tax, issuing in leave to bring in a
Bill to abolish so material a part of the revenue,
caused the market to open this morning at 694,
and business was done at 698—but the market as
suddenly recovered, and the price now is 70

to 70-1.

As our Religious and Political Establishments
are vitally united, we most earnestly exhort
the true friends of that Constitution upon which
they are founded, to be upon the alert on the
subject of the CATHOLIC QUESTION, and we par-
ticularly entreat all the Members of Parliament
who are adverse to the Claims of Popery to con-
cessions not connected with their religious faith
and worship, to attend their duty to-morrow.—
We trust that the Country is roused by the
temporary triumph of Mr. PLUNKETT; and
that the Clergy and the Laity will strenuously
exert themselves on an occasion upon which
the future freedom and happiness of this
Country- essentially depend. We entertain no
fears that the Bills brought forward by that
Gentleman will pass the House of Lords, but
we are anxious that the Representatives of
the People in the Mouse of Commons should settle
the question by a decision against further conces-
sions, as such a decision may be considered as ex-
pressive of tl►e General Voice of- the Nation.
—Let no Member of Parliament be absent
under the notion that the discussion may be
adjourned, but come resolutely forward in sup-
port of all that is dear to us as a free people.
The Protestants of Ireland, with very few ex-
ceptions, are waiting with the utmost solicitude
and alarm the fate of Mr. PLUNKETT'S Bills,
considering them as pregnant with eventual ruin
to our present Establishment in Church and
State.

TIMBER DUTIES.—In recalling the attention of
our readers to this subject, and presenting them with the Sup-
plement (No. III.) of the evidence, we are led, to notice the
altered tone of the advocates of the new system. Last year
their grand argument for this system, which is to destroy our
Colonial trade, and to enrich foreigners and a few speculators
at home, was the bad quality of the transatlantic timber,
and its comparative inefficiency for home consumption. Now,
we find them acknowledging, in their own report, and forced
by the evidence of their own witnesses to do so, that much pre-
judice exists against American timber, and that when used
in America, IT IS ruEz FROM DRY ROT," and of a " du-
" rability equal to that of the best, timber in Europe."—
But what has the cause of common sense and of rational
patriotism gained by this admission ? Literally nothing. For
the proposed increase of duties in one instance, and the re-
duction of them in the other, are now as vehemently, and with
more specious plausibility, urged on account of the useful qua-
lities of our Colonial Timber, as before they were recommended
because of its alleged inferiority ! We shall only add, at pre-
sent, that as the Report, whilst acknowledging the general good-
ness of -transatlantic timber for most home purposes, and its
being INDISPENsAnLu for masts both to ships of war, and
merchantmen, also admits, that the consideration of mere cheap-
ness would cast the balance in its favour ; so, therefore, it
clearly appears, that whatever aff.lcts cheapness must so far
be a national loss, and a loss for which the Country can receive
no compensation, as it is a loss which cannot be shewn to have
the least tendency to promote the particular interests of any one
class of the community, but mealy a few speculators at, home
connected with Northern Europe.

The Duke and Duchess of CUMLMILL AND are
expected to retur❑ to England from Germany,
in the course of the present spring.
The Quxux does net, we understand, go to
the Drawing Room to-day ; but a Lady is to go
there'from her MAJE.STY, for the purpose of pre7
seraing a Petition to the ,K IN 0.--L(Morning
Chronicle.)

Yesterday the QUEEN addressed a, letter- to
the Earl of LIVERPOOL, containing a Petition to
his MAJESTY to allow her to be publicly prayed
for by the Clergy of the Established Church.
Her MAJESTY, it is said, adds, that this is the
only request she has to make.—(The Times.)
LIBEL ON THE QUEEN.—After the Judges
came from the Cathedral of Exeter, Sir J. Butt-
aouou repaired. to tbsi Guildhall, when tho trial
of Mr. Thomas Flinrlell, Editor of The Western
Luminary, for a libel on her Majesty, was pro-
ceeded on; and after occupying about two h9urs,
the Jury pronounced a verdicCof Guilty.

HIGHLAND SOCIETY- of LONDON.—The Second
General Court of this Corporation for the pre-
sent year, was held yesterday at the Freemason's
Tavern, and the Members afterwards adjourned
to the Hall, to celebrate the Anniversary of the
Battle of Alexandria. His Royal Highness the
Duke of To was in the Chair, supported on his
right by the Prince of SATE CouoLiao, and on his
left by the Duke of ARGYLE. The Alfeeting,
went off vrith the greatest spirit and eclat, but
we must postpone our account of it till to-mor-
row, from the press of important matter which is
now before us.
A. new bridge is about to be thrown over 'the

PAPERS:

P4RIS, MARCH 19•

Private-accounts from Naples ariatirtoe'tha:
tho preparations for defence are going: on with
redoubled activity- Fresh troops march daily
to.the frontiers. Tiiz.t garrison of Palermo, and
other troops drafted from Sicily, on being landed
at Naples were immediately marched towarda
Fondi.

El Guerrieiv, a Spanish ship of the line, and
the Perla frigate, which have sailed from Cartba-
gena,, and escort a considerable flotilla, are every
moment expected at Naples.

TURIN, ZclA.P.ca 14:

The following is the latest intelligence with
respect to the operations which have recently
taken place in this kingdom : ,

" On the 11th the King puhlisheda proclama-
tion, in which he deplored the defection Of the
garrison of Alexandria, and announced his Con,
fidence in the fidelity of his people and of the
regiments of Turin. The troops of the capital,
in fact, not only appeared to dismiss all thoughts
of insurrection, but uttered cries of " Vive
Roi," with the exception of 300 men who had
hoisted the flag of independence in the citadel.
It appears that this beginning of revolt in
the garrison took place on the spreading of
the news that the troops of Alexandri were
marching on the capital. ' The people remained
wholly tranquil, and took no part in this move-
ment.

" In the evening of the 12th, the King, at the
conclusion of a Council, which was held on the
arrival of his Minister for Foreign Affairs, took
the resolution of abdicating, and of transmitting
the Crown to his brother, the Duke de Gene-
vois.,But this Prince being at that time on his
journey towards Modena, whither he was going
to meet the King of Naples, his father-iu-law,
the provisional exercise or the scwereigu authority
was confided to Prince Carignaao, under the
title.of Regent.
" Within an hour after this resolution was taken
by his Majesty, an official notification of the
event was communicated to the Foreign Mieis-
ters resident at Turin. A longer time elapsed
before it was made known to the people and the

army.

" During the whole of the 13th and part or this
day the Court of the Royal Palace was filed
with the equipages of the Royal Family engaged
for their conveyance. Their Majesties the King
and Queen have announced their intention of re-
tiring to Nice antil the provision to be made for
them shall bo determined. The King and Queen
took leave this morning of the Prince de Carig-
nano. He requested permission to follow them ;
but the King commanded him to remain at Turin,
to maintain the public tranquillity.
" The following Proclamations were issued here
on the 12th and 13th :

" PROCLAMATION OP VIE KING.
" Victor Emmanuel, by the Grace of God, King of Sardinia, &c.
Since the day it has pleased God to recall us to the govern-
ment of our Continental dominions, all our care ha► been di-
rected to confer on our subjects instances of our paternal regard.
" We have endeavoured, above all, to cherish among them
the spirit of union and concord, and to banish both animosities
and every species of party spirit.

" The sentiments of our subjects have been reciprocal to our
own ; and it is to them, as well as to us, that the circumstance
is owing, to the admiration of all Europe, that in the midst of
the troubles which have agitated our States, the most perfect
tranquillity up to the present period, has been preserved in
our faithful provinces.

" Since our return, also, we have felt pleasure in distinguish-
ing our military subjects by particular marks of affection—a
distinction which was returned on their part by unequivocal
proofs of.union and fidelity.
" But at the present moment, while our provinces and-our
army in general have preserved the line of duty, certain mili-
tary bands, deaf to our former gracious instances of regard, per-
sisting in their disobedience, have abandoned their Officers,
and have shut themselves up in the fortress of Alexandria.

" We perceive with inexpressible grief the danger to which
the obduracy of these individuals exposes not only the tran-
quillity but even the independence of the country.
" At this Moment, when we place our person and our cause
in the hands of Divine Providence—at this moment, when we
recommend our person and our cause .to the firmness of our
faithful subjects, our conscience and our paternal affection oblige
us to declarz—

" Tbat by a recent and unanimous deliberation, the Great
Powers, our Allies, have reSolVed, that in no case whatever
shall any act tending to subvert the political and legitimate order
in Europe be approved, and still less be supported, by any of
them.

" That, on the contrary, the three PONfere, Austr.ia, Russia,
and Prussia, will revenge by an armed force every attempt
which shall be opposed to the preservation of this order.

- -
" In this state of things, determined and firmly resolved as
we are, not to permit nor to recognise, and yet more not to co-
operate in any act which may give rise to foreign invasion ; con-
stant, to the principle of employing every means for sparing the
blood of our beloved subjects, we open here our whole mind,
and give at the same time an alleviation to our grief, in making
known to all in • the face of Europe, that the entire blame will
rest upon the disturbers of legitimate order, if ever any other
army than our own shall show itself in the interior of our States,
or if ever—the. thought of which afflicts us most deeply—the
scourge of civil discord shall visit our people, whom we ever
have and ever Shall cherish' as part of our own family. .
• " Given at Turin, March 12, ,1821.
(Signed) " VICTOR EMMANUEL."

" PROCLAAIATION OF THE PRICE REGENT.
CHARLES ALBERT OF SAVOY, PRINCE OF CARIGNAN°,
• REGENT. .

" We make known that his Majesty, King ViefOr Emma-

nuel, in abdicating the drown, has conferred hilt Mole
'city upon us, with the title of Regent.
" We invoke the liivine assistance; and, in ennoimeirig that
we will to-morrow manifest ottr intentions conformably b the
general wish, we desire, in the meantime, • that every bnstility
shall immediately cease, and that no provocation to fresh hoi-
tility may take place,

" Doubtless we have no occasion to order that his Majesty;
with his Royal Consort and his fainily,.and all their suite; shall
have the liberty to travel and to sojourn in any part of the con-
tinental dominions that he may please to visit, and shall every-
where experience that deep veneration which, norresponds with
the sentiments of gratitudeand love which are imprinted in the
hearts of all his subjects, which are so justly due to, him for
his virtues and for the re=establishment and aggrandizenient of
this Monarchy.

quillity, en the zeal of all the Magistrates, Civil and Military
Officers, and of all the Corporations of Towns and Communci.
