lavoLutioN IN NAPLES.

Ektract of a Letter, dated Naples, July 6th ;
to which the writer has added, " a day to be for
ever remembered in history
.“ This letter . announces to you no les, an
event than a Aialige---4 the vernment.,ot ill' •
country. • You were before, aware of llite dis
content existing in the Provinces, on account of '
the imposition of the Fundaria, and of the little
encouragement given to the exports- of natise
productions ; but ,you were not aware to what a
degree this discontent had infected. all 'classes,
and even the ranks of the army. The organiza-
tion of the camp at Sessa may be reckoned the
immediate cause of all that has occurred., as it
appears that it not only gave to the troops an op-
portunity of concerting, their measures, but
brought them into contact with the PrOvindes,
arid assured them of the community of senti-
ment in the great mass of the population. The
whole thing has been so sudden, that it is diffi-
cult to ascertain exactly hoW it began, or who
took the lead in the operation. According to the
best accounts, there is reason for believing that
the first movement was made by a body of ca-
valry stationed at Nola, to the number of about
Ibo men, Who suddenly and without orders quit-
ted their post, and marched in a body for the
mountains of Avellino. Whether the result of
previous understanding or not, is unknown ; but
the alarm of this march spread with the rapidity
of lightning : detachments of infantry marched
out to join them, and every peasant who could
muster a firelock, or an offensive weapon of any
description, followed their example. This mixed
asstmblage then proceeded towards the pass
leading to Apulia, of which they took posses-
sion. They found there a military chest contain-
ing 22,000 ducats, which they appropriated to
theirown Use, but gave an acknowledgment in
due form to the party from whom they look it.
The news of this insurrection having reached Na-
pies caused the greatest alarm, and ,some Ge-
nerals were sent off by the King to parley with
the mutineers, and learn what objects they
had in view. A Council was immediately
called' at .the Palace, to deliberate on the mode
of proceeding : while they were in the act
of deliberating (this was yesterday afternoon),
two regiments., one of infantry., the other of dra-
goons, quartered about a mile from the town,
marched off with arms and baggage, but in the
most perfect order, to join the insurrectionary
troops. An intimation was then brought to the
King from the head-quarters of the insurgents,
that they demanded a free Constitution, similar
'to that which had been adopted in Spain. Pre-
parations were made to oppose and reduce this
spirit ; but it was discovered,' on sounding the
disposition of those troops who had not yet de-
clared against the Government, that they all at
heart were imbued with the same sentiments, and
that they could not with safety be led against
their comrades. This state of things was re-
'porta,d to. the King, on which he gave way, and
declared his assent to the condition proposed.
Couriers were sent off to the troops early this
morning, to announce this change ; and papers
Were exhibited on the walls of the city declar-
ing the King's intention to publish. a Constitution
or form of free government in seven days. Where
this would have ended, but for the timely con-
cession that has been made, it is impossible to
say; for the spirit spreid through the soldiery
with such rapidity, that even St. Elmo was, de-
serted by its garrison. The 0-eneral, appearance
of the city during the intervaal between the par-
ley with the_ troops, and the King's resolution to
accede to their .wishes, was most singular.' Every
face was marked by anxiety, and denoted the
expectation of some dreadful event. When the
joyful change was known, nothing was to be seen
or heard but the *lost lively testimonies of plea-
'sure. Groups paraded the streets with shouts of
Viva! Viva! and these were by no means Of the
lowest or lower classes. [saw two officers in
the uniform of Generals who joined in the exul-
tation. There was a very general cry for the
appearance of the King on the balcony of the
palace but- he did not show himself... This is
.the birth-day of the Hereditary Prince, and to-
night we shall have a grand illumination."

[EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER-SAME DATE.]
" It is now about a week ago since a very
general spirit of fermentation and discontent was
observed in the province of Salerno; and last
Sunday we heard that a whole regiment of ca-,
valry had deserted, and posted themselves near,
N ola.. Shortly after, all the troops were put in
motion against them,
,but it was discovered that
disaffection prevailed, and that no reliance could
be placed upon them, which made it evident that
coercive measures would be of no use, but
,that
every means must be tried to conciliate mat-
ters ; the more so, as it was believed that dis-
content, more or less,- prevailed in all the pro'-
vinces. Things were carried on in this way till
yesterday when the King, having been told that
a free Constitution was the universalj,wish of the
people, declared that he would give it to them
voluntarily, and immediately issued a proclama-
tion, promising to publish it in a week. It is
said that an affecting scene has taken place at
the Palace. When the King declared his inten-
tion, the Hereditary Prince, who is just arrived
from Sicily, fell at the feet of the King, and in
tears thanked him in the name of the people,
exclaiming, " You have saved the country !"
.only remains for the Insurgent troops, so they
were then. called, but now the, Patriots, to return
to their duty, which they will do as soon as they
know the terms of the Constitution, which they
wish to be as near as possible to that of Spain.—
The city has been for some days past in extreme
agitation. The Civica (city volunteers) have
been continually on duty. ' At this moment there
are thousands and tens of thousands parading
the streets near the Palace, andshouting

to the king and Constitution. We think that'all
will proceed quietly, and end safely."

[From The .Horning .ehrouidc.]

MADRID, JULY 6.—The Cortes met this day
at ten 'o'clock, and after some preliminary
husi-
ness, proceeded to elect a President, Vice Presi-
dent, and Secretaries ; the choice has fallen
On Don Jose Espiga, Arclibjshop Elect of Se-
ville; the hero of La Isla, Quiroga ;' and Messrs.
Cepero, Lopez, A. Lopez, and Clemehcin, all men
of unequivocal. principles. Immediately after
the ceremony had been terminated, the new Pre-
sident, &c. were'sworn in, took their. seats, and
the Cortes were declared to be finally installed ;
a deputation of twenty-four Members was.
the appointed to wait on the King, and it ac-
cordingly went to the Palace- in twelve carriages,
followed by several hundred more, containing
a large portion of the Nobility and Gentry. On
its introduction to his Majesty, the cortege was
very graciously receivedi and having expressed
his approbation of the Election, tx.c. the• King
signified his intention of proceeding to the Cham-
ber on Sunday next, for the purpose of taking the
oaths. The deputation having returned in the
same order, made' its Report to the President and
Members; soon -after which the Meeting Was ad-
journed, anda very large concourseof all classes
attended during the whole day ; and although
there were nearly two thousand visitors within
the baildings, the utmost order and regularity
prevailed. Yesterday the King visited the
Chamber. incog'nito, accompanied by ,two Cham--
berlains, and expressed himself highly gratified
with the taste and elegance displayed in the
mode of fitting it up. The Ceremony of the 9th
will be of the most imposing description. I un-
derstand his Majesty is to proceed-to the Cortes
on foot, but as no programme has been published,
I have some reason to doubt' the correctness of
the information. Nothing Can exceed the enthu-
siasm of all ranks. Madrid is filling very fast, but
it is worthy of remark, that, with the exception of
a few French'speculators, there should scarcely
be ten foreigners here, to view one of the most
interesting and magnifiCent sights ever witnessed
in this country. Those who have recently arrived
are Spaniards from the large towns or' the sea
coast, such as Cadiz, Barcelona, Valencia, &c.
—Measures of the utmost precaution have been
taken to secure the triumph of freedom over su-
perstition and intolerance .on Sunday next. A
large pertion of the Constitutional Army will be
in attendance, and it is scarcely necessary to re-
peat, that these brave men are ready to die
in defence of the Cortes. - The Pope is
said . to have refused his assent to the Bull
requested •by Ferdinand, for secularizing the
Clergy or Monks, who may be desirous .of
returning to. the bosom of society. Some of the
Madrid Editors eizult in this circumstance, as ac-
cording to their notions, it will afford. Spain an
opportunity -of,shaking off a yoke, that has long
become intolerable, not to say onerous. There
seems to be no doubt of the King's sincerity.;
he is said to be convinced of the necessity. there
is of adhering to the new system', and I have
really heard More than one well-informed Patriot
declare that Ferdinand VII. is one of the most li-
beral politicians-in Spain. I forgot to mention in
my last that the, priest who was taken up at
Burgos, told his friends there, amongst other
things, that a Russian and French, army were
about to march .into Spain! In Portugal the
most rigid measures are adopted with regard to
this Country ; the communication of every kind is
said to be extremely reserved, yet, there is very
little doubt of there being.a junta of Ecclesia.,..-
tics and Persas.colleCted there, for the purpose
of disseminating' "the old lights in Spain.' . This
is entitled, par excellence, I presume, El unico
Apostolica Romans .1 An order has just been
issued by the Minister of War, appointing a
Contrnission
,to inquire into the best mode of
establishing a system of mutual instruction on
Lancaster's plan, , throughout the army. A
Ministerial Paper, commenting -on the above
order, congratulateS Spain on. the prospect of all
the individuals composing the army being able
to read and write in-the course of six months
from the perio'd of the proposed establish-
ment. There is a report in circulation,• by no
Means creditable- to the Minister of Finance.
It. is said that directions have been given at Vit-
toria, to examine the books imported from France,.
' and only to 'permit the entry of a certain class of.
, works. I ought not to conclude without repeat-
ing, that the mdst sanguine expectations are en-
,
tertainetl of the Cortes.

Some very alarmiug reports have just reached
this place from Paris. •

A Gazette Extraordinary, by order of. the
King, has just been issued, to notify the Election
of Presidents and Secretaries; an event, which,
according to the Gazette, is to be- the signal of
future glory and prosperity to the Spanish people.

The North York Militia having completed
their month of service at Richmond, on the 7th
inst. the inhabitants were gratified by the sigli
of a grand review on the race-grOund. Much
credit is due to the Officers of this regiment for
their unwearied exertions and exemplary assiduity,
which in so short a time have transformed, with
almost magical celerity, a body of raw uninstruct-
ed men into a regiment, not inferior to one of
the Line. On Friday the weather was particu-
larly favourable, and the Stand was crowded
with Ladies to witness this pleasing exhibition.
They were gallantly invited by the Officers to
partake of a cold collation after the Review:—
This elegant repast consisted of every delicacy of
the season, and seldom has Richmond witnessed
a more splendid assemblage of beauty and fashion
than set down to it. After this refreshment the
company commenced dancing : this amusement
was continued with great spirit till late in the
evening, which concluded with that harmony and
good humour so peculiarly the characteristic of
this Regiment.—(Sczccustle (:durant.)
