THE ARMY.

This,morning the different quarters of the Me-
tropolis exhibited, considerable bustle and gaiety,
in consequence of the several Battalions of the
.three Regiments of Foot Guards stationed in and
near London_, changing, their Barracks 'and quar-
ters; the three first. divisions wed accompiinied
by la fokba.pd, Ana, the men. being, equipped--in-
conipiete-marchiug order, the appearance of these
biglity disciplined troops seemed to afford much
gratification to a very numerous body of specta-
tors that were assembled on the occasion.
The arrangement that has been made forthe
ensuing six months is as follows.—
The first Battalion of. Grenadiers, from the
King's Mews to. the Tower, to relieve the first
battalion of Coldstreams, ordered into ;Veit-
minster‘ qUartets,.from Whence the second batta-
lion of the first regiment will proceed to Portman-
street' barracks,. which becomes. vacaht by the
third battalion of the same regiment, taking pos-
session'of- the barracki at Knightsbridge, in the
room of -the"second battalion of Coldstreams,
which has marched for the Windsor duty to re.-
lieve the first battalion of the third regiment ;
they will be stationed iu the barracks at the
King's. Mews.

The 84th regiment, commanded by Lieutenant-
Colonel DAUBENEY, from Plymouth,.arrived last
week at Portsmouth for the duty of that garrison;
the 51st regiment, Lieutenant-Colonel RICE,
C.Q. have also marched into that garrison ; and
the Ist battalion 3d Guards have marched for
Plymouth. ,

Two companies of the 9th veteran battalion
have embarked at Portsmouth in the Defence

SHAKSPEARE.—SOMe paragraphs have recently
appeared in the Public Papers relating to anew
scheme far raising a mausoleum, Statue, &c. at
Stratford, to the memory of SHAKSPEARE. Be-
fore any thing of this sort be. -resolved on, or
subscribed for it may not be amiss. to ask *bat

has been the conduct of the Stratfordians to-
wards the natal house,—the dwelling-house,—
and the monumental bust of England's Bard ? If
these hare been carefully and jealously guarded,
they may be entitled to the public confidence and
public praise; but if these relics are neglected—
and defaced, we cannot, with -much self satis-
faction, consign any new treasures to their guar-
dianship.

[New Times.]
'Letters have been received from Milan which
announce the arrest of one of the assassins who at-
tempted to murder Colonel Browne. The wretch
has confessed that he and his associates were
hired by an individual at Mantua, who promised
them no less a sum than ten thousand francs for
the perpetration of the atrocious crime. It ap-
p?ars that they had been some time watching an
opportunity ; for a few nights previously to the
attack they had concealed themselves in the
Colonel's coach-house, but being overheard whis-
pring together they were disturbed, and at
that time. made their escape. On the night of
the attempt, the Colonel was passing hastily
trom the Opera House alone, wrapt up in
hls great coat, it being very cold weather, when
one of the assassins came behind, and tapping
him on the shoulder, said, in a familiar way,
" Siete it Colonello Browne g" "Are you Col.
Browne ?" The Colonel no sooner answered in
the -affirmative, than the villain stretching his
arm round, struck him with a stiletto, and fled,
exclaiming, " I have done it." The Colonel at-
tertnpted to pursue him, but was instantly at-
tacked by the second assassin, with whom he
had a violent struggle, which terminated in the
Colonel's fainting from loss of blood, and in the
assassins flight, on the approach of some other
persons. The person who hired these miscreants
is known by the description given of him, and a
ace is believed to be obtained for important dis-
coveries. The Milanese Police was from the be-
ginning extremely active in tracing the criminals,
and its zeal has been further stimulated by the
Colonel's friends, who have offered a reward of
00/. for the detection of the offenders.—The
same Post by which the preceding statement was
received, brought also letters relative to the mea-
slres adopted against the Neapolitan Rebels.—
l! would seem that the King of Naples had fully
acquiesced in the views of the Allied Sovereigns,
and had employed De Gallo to bear their ulti-
matum to the facdon which has usurped the su-
Frerne power at Naples.

[The Limes.]
- .The Duke. de Gallo. had arrived at Naples on
the Seth with the Laybach ultimatum, the'nature
.of which being anticipated by the public, he was
afraid of entering the town in his travelling car-
,..riage. The high roads from Rome to Naples
were brokenotud great trees, with other impedi-
ments to .artillery, thrown across them in many
pieces:- 'The defensive measures of the Neapo-
litans were on a large scale, and very forward :
there were three positions- within the frontier
strongly fortified. Every thing was tranquil at
Nhples. General F.,Pepe, under the Prince
cr::ni::inded the troops which were heft
there. i i was -thought by Many that the Nea-
politan capital would be a more secure residence
than itc!ne itself, which might soon become a
scene of combat. Rome is full of British fami-
lies. Our squadron was still in the Bay of
Naples. The Capri, a Neapolitan man of war,
Was destroyed by fire, supposed to be intentionally,
add was near communicating the flames to the
fleet at anchor under Sir Graham Moore. We
omitted to observe that the Papal proclama-
tion exhibits a specimen of neutrality not
unlike that of our Ministry-. His. Holiness
'says, Ist, that he cannot help the foreign troops
passing through his dominions ; Yd, that be re-
ceives the Austrians as friends, who march only
:out of pure regard, to Italy ; 3d, that he will
maintain a strict neutrality ; 4th,.that the foreign
regular troops shall not be resisted in their pas-
sage ; but.. sth,. that any of the "evil-disposed
crass'` (meaning thereby the.. Neapolitans, whether
regular or irregular) who'sb.all attempt the same
friendly freedom of passing through the Holy
territory, " shall be opposed" with all his
might. This is the neutrality now -in vogue
among legitimate Monarchs, spiritual and tem-,

poral, as the new-fashioned love of order
shews. itself, in subverting_ by force the
first-. principles . of the- law .:of - nations. We
have' to add the highly trnpOrtant fzict that the
Parliament of . Naples have lost no time in vot-
ing the' King's declaration from L'aYhaeh in-
valid and being issued, wiiile.his Ma-
je Sty was under duress, and a prisoner in. the
hinds of foreigners. The Spaniards; in the same
way, and on the same just principle, disregarded
the declarations of Ferdinand VII.-while a cap-
tiiie in Buonaparte's poWer. 'The Holy Al-
liance are deservedly caught in this trap which
they had laid for the' Neapolitans.

• • • ' [British Press.].... . •
All. tle accounts contained: in, the foreign
Papers respecting the actual state of. Naples,
and the feelings that animate the srea-t.,hody of
the People,' are very cOntradi-ctory. We are,
however, assured by'• a Gentleman who has re-
cently returned from Naples to London, that the
people breathe a determined spirit of resistance;
ghat they are resolved to dispute with them every
inch of territory and should the enemy pollute
with their preSence the city of Naples, they are
positively' determined to imitate the noble ex-
ample. set themby . the people of Moscw.r, and
burn the beautiful capital of their- country,. ra-
ther" than it should'_ become a spoil to the inva-
ders: Should the Neapolitans act upon this re-
sOlUtion, the invading army would never pass the
Po again, and the flames of Naples would light
up a spirit in the people of Italy which Austria
never could withstand. The invasion of Spain
led to the downfall of the despotism of Napoleon.
Theinvasion of Naples may burst the chains in
whichtheiinitator. of Buonaparte holds the ter-
ritories of Venice and the fairest portion of the
North of Italy.

[Morning Chronicle.]
The two Houses of Parliament have vindi-
cated the character of the Kingdom, by the un-
qualified reprobation of the conspiracy of King,
against the liberties of mankind. The language
of independent and honourable Members in both

Houses has given a seasonable check to the insi-
dious conduct of that portion of the Cabinet who
would abet the Despots in their infamous career,
and bring eternal disgrace on their own Country
by their violation of all the principles that have

heretofore characterised and ennobled the name
of Britain. We were not surprised at hearing
Lord .Castlereagh's misrepresentation of the sen-
timent of Lord Holland as to the conduct of the
Emperor of Russia. The Noble Baron said, that
a Prince who ascended a throne still reeking with
the blood of his father, ought not to refuse to re.

cognise the Spanish Constitution because it
had been brought about by an insurrection
of the soldiery, without an expiatory sacrifice
being made of the Chiefs of the insurrection. It
was no part of Lord Holland's argument to im-
pute to Alexander a participation in his father's
murder, though that was insinuated by the Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs in his allusion to the
speech. It was the drift of Lord Holland's argu-
ment, that Alexander owed his crown to an act
which, though it might be a justifiable murder,
was still murder, and a murder that had been
suffered to pass unpunished. But it is the usual
artifice of Ministers to divert the House from the
actual question at issue, by some affected misap-
prehension or misrepresentation of an oppOnent,and
feeling the high ground which Ld. Castlereagh has
taken on the principleof the holy Alliance sinking
ander him, every trifle,even the joke of Mr. Tierney,
is seized on as a means of distraction. But the great
question will not be allowed to pass away. We
rejoice to see that the Marquess of Lansdown has
given notice of another motion on the subject ;
and the latest accounts from Layhach serve to
prove that the Sovereigns themselves think it
prudent to hesitate, and make new propositions
before they hazard the trial of strength, that if
England shall be true to her own system, must
end in the overthrow of their violent designs.

There is a rumour that Mr. Plunkett is to he
appointed to the sinecure office of Chancellor of
the Duchy of Lancaster, as the means of fixing
his residence in this country, and keeping him
ready to be advanced to the high station of Lord
Chancellor, on the ovent of Lord anoN's re-
tiremeut.—( Ibid.)
