MARSEILLES, Nov. 28.—(Correspondence of the Mesmer.)
—The Captain of a brig which left Palermo on the 14th of Novem-
ber, and arrived here on the 26th, has brought the following news :
The death of the King of Naples was known at Palermo on the 11th;
at that time General Nunziante arrived on board a steam-boat. with
orders from the new Sovereign to arrest the Viceroy, to seise his papers,
and put them under seal. The General allowed the Viceroy only
two hours to prepare for his voyage, and they both departed on
board the same slams-boat. The Captain of the vessel had promised
on his honour to bring back that personage. The Viceroy is the former
Lieut.-General of the Police at Palermo, and is accused of having had
an understanding with the Austrian Court, contrary to the interest of
the hereditary Priam. King Francis I. lately gave him the title of
Viceroy. Ferdinand 11. has disgraced him, and seems.to be very ill.
disposed towards this old favourite of his father. General Nunalante was
so eager to execute his master's orders, that be violated all the Rohm
regulations, and landed as soon as be arrived, without showing himself,
as be ought to have done, at the Board of Health. His Sicilian Ma-
jesty has just given the title of Viceroy to Ms brother, Prince Leopold,
It was repotted at Palermo, that when the King's death was an-
pounced so Ferdinand 11. he seised the will signed by his late father
and by the Queen, and tore it in the presence of his courtiers. By one
of the clauses of this testament, the Regency was conferred, upon the
King's death, upon his brother, the Prince of Salerno, who was at that
moment in Austria, and Ferdinand was not to reign till he bad com-
pleted his twenty-fourth year. The promise which the new King has
made to give a Constitution to his people, has gained him all hearts,
and it is hoped that he will be much more beloved than his father. On
the day of General Nunziante's arrival, there was a general review of
fire regiments, two companies of artillery, and a battalion of the Royal
Guards, being the whole garrison of Palermo. All these troops were
made to take the oath of allegiance to Ferdinand 11.
Pts iron, Nov. 30.—Terror reigns in Turin. The cannon of the
citadel are pointed towards the city ; the carmoniers are at their guns,
with their matches lighted. The police keep a multitude of spies, who
go into the coffee-bouses, and even private dwellings, The inhabitants
dare not utter a word which has any reference to political affairs. People
avoid their friends, and are silent even in the bosom of their families.—
The Prince of Carignan, the presumptive heir to the crown, who acted
so distinguished a part in the revolution of 1821, and who is neverthe-
less disgraced because he for a moment showed himself liberal, and
also because he Interferes with the pretensions of the Duke of (*la-
den'', bad lmtg inhabited Turin, but without being allowed to appear at
Court. The King, who fears his Whence with the army, has just sent
for him to Genoa, In order to watch him more narrowly. The Prince
will be little better than a prisoner. Letters from Genoa inform us that
between the 13th and 15th of November eight of the most respectable
inhabitants in the city had been arrested, namely, Messrs. ilriseio,
Marini, Tovre, Servaroni, and Morelli, all Advocates and fathers of
families, M. Doris, bookseller, and Sig. Baaaano. The name of the
eighth has not reached us. They were taken from their homes at night,
and conveyed to prison ; and, as strict secrecy is enjoined, there are,
perhaps, many other victims who are not known. At Nice there are
numerous arrests, and general terror prevails. On the 20th Nov., a Ser.
dinian officer set out from the Place Victor, surrounded by children,
crying, and making other' cry, " Liberty for over !" He went round
the ramparts, and passed before the hotel of the Governor. The officers
of the guard ordered him to be arrested and conveyed to prison. A re.
port was circulated that be was mad. Austria is accused of having de.
trounced to the King of Bardinhta pretended conspiracy, to alarm -him,
and to induce him to give up his fortresses to the Austrians.
Den. 4.—The " Bentinelle Genevoise," of Dec. 1, says, " It is posi-
tively announced that at Aran, Zurich, Lucerne, Soleure, and St. all,
the government has been changed.
The canton of Tesin, in Switzerland, has formally refused to give up
the Pledmontese refugees demanded by Austria and Piedmont.
Baru, Dan. I.—(Private letter.)—There is not a weal of Mill in
the statement lately made from Rotterdam, that 7,000 Swiss were on
their way to Bois.le-Due, to be employed by the King of Holland
against the Belgians. The day for selling Swiss troops to foreign Go-
vernments has, we Wm gone by for ever, and the bravery and services
of its soldiers will be -..nforward devoted to the protection of Swit-
zerland itself.

The depositions of the witnesses throw much more light upon :the
bets connected with the trial of the OX. Ministers than do their own ex.
amination‘ They are themselves so many Non mi Ricardo& in every
thing except the putting their names to the ordinances—all else appears
to have been done by a power independent of them. From what is yet
published, we think that the whole weight of the guilt rests upon the head
of Charles X. Nobody approved of the ordinances ; and yet they were
signed published. What power was this which could oontroul all
wills, triumph over all repugnance, and silence all scruples The answer
is In every one's mouth. Till lately, France thought it had known ail
Charles's tides to its hatred and contempt, but it was mistaken ;
his Ministers have made an important addition to his fame ; and them
is not now in all its history a monster more deserving of the bitterest
maledictions. It was left for these details to prove to Europe that even
unmeasured ferocity may have its grotesque side; for while the laws
were being trampled under foot, the streets of Paris bathed in blood,
and the throne itself tottering to its fall, a gentleman of the Bedchamber
declines going into the King's closet till 20 minutes bad elapsed !
During these 110 minutes perhaps the fate of the Monarchy was decided.
but etiquette was saved
The Quolidiennt makes • fierce attack upon that part of 31. Lailtte's
speech which related to the Common Indemnity Fund, and adds, sneer.
Jingly, that the King, when Duke of Orleans, received nearly eight
millions out of this fund, in the distribution made so the emigrants.
This is not quite oorrect ; the sum in question was shared between the
King and the Princess, his sister. Upon this subject it may not be
amiss to observe that, notwithstanding the great inroads which had been
made upon his paternal property, the law does not permit his receiving
an indemnity in right of succession to his father. The whole of his
receipts in right of his mother have bees expended hi the embellish-
ments of the Palais Royal.
Thousands of volunteers have already entered their names for foreign
service at Bordeaux, in case France should be compelled to go to war.
Lists were forming of a similar nature throughout the south of France,

SPIRI OF THE JOURNALS.
Cunoxicr.x.—Lord Altborp, alluding last night to the state of the
disturbed districts, observed, that, " in addition to the Commissions
already issued, another had peeled the Great Seal, far the trial of
offenders iu Buckinghamshire. There would be in the issue of any
more commissions considerable difficulty in finding judges to try the
accused. He fully concurred with his noble Mend, that none of these
persons ought to be tried by the magistrates under whose warrants they
were committed, or by any person liable to be swayed by local or any
undue influence." This opinion is highly creditable to Lord Al-
thorp. We trust the principle involved in it will receive in time
greater extension. No man ought to be a judge in his own cause; and
in ninety.nine cases out of a hundred the Magistrate is judge in his owa
case, er hajadoss in a similar cause of his neighbour; and his neigh.
boar, Is in a similar cause in which he is a party.—

selves a solid reform of Parliament,—now, when the Government, br

the common enemy. The nation are meeting every wheree—the Lag.

That of Glasgow has acknowledged its own ansthatiso to be -s which

rooms in George-street, listening with eagerness io the indignant con.
demnation pronounced by many able speakers upon the degrading
condition under which those who ought to form the constitu-
ency of Scotland have been so long deprived of their most
obvious rights ; and passing, without a dissentient voice, re.
solutions which indicated that they would no longer submit
to the privation When we recollect that the whole body of
Scotch electors, as well for counties as for burghs, amounts only to
something about 2,500 voters,--not above half as many as are polled
at any contest for a moderate-sized English county, we can the better
sympathise with Mr. Adam Black (Master of the Merchant Company),
who exclaimed, " One only wonders that this wretched system should
have found abettors and supporters for so many generations. Is it not
as true as it is humiliating to Scotland, that the Scotch Members ate a
proverb and 6 by-word for subserviency, even to the moat profligate Mi-
nisters, whoconstantly look to this steady phalanx fortheir unflinching aid
in all crusades against liberty at hornand abroad, in the perpetrating of
every job, and the maintaining of every abuse ?" " Who supported the
Bathurst and Dundee job ? How did the Scottish Members vote on the
last decisive question of the civil list ? We find that 30 voted for a
large and long-continued expenditure, without inquiry. and only seven
for inquiry and retrenchment." This appears to us a satisfactory
proof that the Scotch are neither blind to their political situation, nor
likely to remain dumb as to its vices and disgrace. It is at the same
time requisite to add, in the words of another eloquent member of the
same meeting, ,- that although we have won the government, we have
" not yet won the legislature." That, indeed, is true: one branch more
particularly of the legislature has not yet been won to the cause of re.
form—we mean the House of Lords; and we would, therefore, with
much deference, put it to their lordships to outsides how deplorable—
how desperate—how lost--would be their condition. if, unhappily, the
, Homo of Commons should pass a bill for a substantial and thorough
purification of Parliament, and the House of Lords venture to reject
that hill ! So much for the principle of reform. With respect to the
details of it, much, doubtless, is yet to be determined.

POST.—The advertisement for a Master-General of the Ordnance has
at length been answered to the satisfaction, we presune, of Lord Grey,
and he has not been reduced to the painful necessity of finding another
member of his family to fill a lucrative office. We doubt, indeed, whe-
ther he could have had recourse to that alternative. We have searched
the Peerage Book narrowly, and can find no relative of his Lordship now
unprovided for. We do not hesitate to say, that the country will be
glad of the embarrassment which has compelled this ultra-libmal and
disinterested minister to seek, in the person of Sir James Kemp—an ex-
cellent officer and an able man of busineer—fis a Master-GeneraL—
What the wishes and intentions of Lord Grey have been with re-
spect to this office, and how his Lordship would have filled
it, If a series of blunders and disappointments, without parallel in
the history of official arrsngemsot, bad not defeated his intentions,
is too well known to the pnb ie. Wears told that Sir James Kemp is
not to be in Parliament, and the office wW therefore in his person
not be political. Was it with such a view that it was offered to
the Duke of Richmond ? And, when his Grace was found not to
be qualified, that it was tendered to Sir Willoughby Gordon ? And
when Sir Willoughby would not take it without accompaniments
which Lord Grey promised but could not give that It was offered
to other political characters ? Truly, the whole conduct of the
Premier in this matter of the Ordnance is as little creditable to him hi
his character of a political leader as any passage in his political life.—
Sir James Kemp will do credit to himself, whatever be the situation in
which be may be placed. His appointment, after all the tricks that
preceded it, dom no credit to my Lord Grey.
