ROME, FEBRUARY 22.

The Neapolitans, who had entered Rieti, and de-
clared that they were obliged to pass through to take
a military position at Le Marmore, have retired, for
fear of having their retreat cut off. It is said that
they have returned and occupied Ascoli.
The Austrian column, which had arrived at Mon-
teiosi to come to Rome, and is commanded by Ge•
neral Stutterheim,
,has made halt and taken up its
quarters in the neighbouring villages, and its head-
quarters are at Nepi, waiting for the orders of the
General-in-Chief. The strength of the Neapolitan
Army is concentrated in the Abruzzes, where, ac-
, cording to all appearance, some action will soon
take place.

Up to to-day, no corps of Neapolitan troops has
arrived on the frontiers towards Terracina ; the roads,
however, in that part, are broken up in several
places, leaving no more room than what is indis.
pensable for the passage of a carriage. The Auitrian
flotilla has arrived at Ancona. King Ferdinand is

DRURY•LANE.—Last night the Oratorio season
commenced at this Theatre, under the very able direction of Sir
GLORGE &LAM The First Act of the performance consisted of
IiATDS'S Creation, and received from the united abilities of Mrs
Saestos, Miss GOODALL, and Messrs. BSAHAM, Prat, Neeson,
and Cetera, all that richness of harmony, and strength of ex-
pression which the style of the composition required. The Se-
cond Act was a Grand Requiem, composed by Bocusa, in which
Madame Castroazsz, Miss GOODALL, Mrs. Bzwis swam, and
Die/ars. BRAMAN Prxs, THOM', Gourmet:, and CUTLER; and,
indeed, the whole strength- of the Vocal Performers, were
brought forward to give effect to its different parts. The style
of this Requiem, the words of which are in Latin, unites origi-
nality with grandeur. It was enthusiastically applauded, parti-
cularly the beautiful quartetto between Madame CAMPOISSE,
!Flies GOMM LI., lix.enau, and CUTLER,. which concluded • the
Piece, and which had a novel, as well as a most striking and
almost'sublime accompaniment of thirteen harps. These were
fanned into three divisions, occupying the whole breadth of the
stage, and were played by Mr. BOCHSA and twelve of his pupils,
nine of whom were young Ladies, and the other thres young
Ge:tlemen. The brilliant appearance of the harps themselves,
the elegance and beauty of the fairy forms which seemed to has.
part melody to their strings, and the rich harmonies which rose
and floated round them, rendered the whole scene more like the
illusion of a dream, than a display of human skill. The effect
I was prodigions, and rather increased than lessened, •voben,
compliance with the unanimous cell of the audience, the Quar-
tetto was encored. Between the second and third. Act (which
consisted of a tasteful Selection), the Echo Duet was sung by
Mrs. SALMON and BRAMAN, and encored amidst enthusiastic
plaudits. The. Performance concluded with the Czmmatiou An.
them, which was received by the audience standing up and un
covered, amidst bursts of loud and tulivci sal applause.
