CASH PAYMENTS.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought up
the Report on the Bank Cash Payments Bill.
Mr. J. SMITH stated, that fears had been enter-
tained by the Country Bankers, on account of the in-
tention of the Bank of England to issue no more one-
pound Notes after the Ist May, as to the mode in
which they should pay their Notes.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated,
that if the Country Bankers should not have a suffi-
cient quantity of small Notes of the Bank of England,
they could have either Gold or small Notes, by send-
ing large Notes to the 13ank.
Mr. PEA RSE (a Bank Director) said, that though
the Bank was desirous of issuing no more El Notes
after the Ist of May, yet, in the case of any inconve-
nience, an ample supply of small Notes had been
provided, which, if necessary, would be issued both
to the Country Bankers and to the Public.
Mr. J. SMITH and Mr. RICARDO were perfectly
satisfied with the explanation given.
A Clause was added by the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER to prevent the exportation of Silver.
The Bill, as also that of the Bank of Ireland Cash
Payments, was ordered to be read a third time this day.

Mr. PETER MOORE presented a Petition from the Vicar,
Churchwardens, and Vestrymen of the Parish of Holy Trinity,
in the City of Coventry, expressive of their apprehensions at
the admissiou of Roman Catholics to political power.—.-Laid
on the table.

Mr. J. S3IITH presented a Petition from a class of Chris-
tians, resident in London, calling themselves " Separatists,"
praying the House to release them of certain hardships, of which
they complained. This was a Sect, the Honourable Member
said, which in its doctrines approached the tenets of the Quakers,
as it resembled that moral people in the exemplary purity of the
lives of its followers. The Petitioners represented that they
laboured under the greatest hardships from their being unable to
take an oath, from scruples of conscience, and they prayed the
House to extend to them the same indulgences which were now
extended to Motavians and Quakers in this respect.
Mr. SHAW presented a similar Petition from the same Sect
of Christians in the City of Dublin.—Both laid upon the table,
and ordered to be printed.
The Marquis of TAVISTOCK presented a Petition from
certain Owners and Occupiers of Land in the County of Bed-
ford, complaining of Agricultural Distress.—Laid on the table.
Mr. DAWSON presented a Petition from the Separatists of
Belfast, praying the House to release them from the obligation
of taking an oath.—Laid on the table.
The Timber Duties Bill was read a second time, and com-
mitted for Monday.—Adjourned at Two o'Clock.

THE EVENING STAR.

LONDON.

FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 1821.

The sudden subjugation of Naples by the Austrian
invaders has caused much exultation on the part of
the Legitimates, on the one hand, and on the other,
a torrent of invective against the Neapolitans, from
those sanguine minds who seem to think a declara-
tion of independence, and its accomplishment, ought
to be simultaneous. It is easy to cry down the Nea-
politans for cowardice, and equally easy to assert
that the cause must have been a bad one, which
could so easily be overthrown : but both of these
themes of declamation are equally baseless. Had the
Emperor of Ausrata, with the same overwhelming
force, attacked the King of NAPLES, while exer-
cising his legitimate despotism in that manner which
is most unexceptionable in the estimation of Tyrants,
the result would have been precisely the same.—
We ask, then, a simple question. Would suck a re-
sult have furnished any evidence whatever that the
cause of the Neapolitans must, for that very reason,
have been bad? As to the cowardice manifested by
the Neapolitans—and we are not disposed to palliate
it—bow, in the name of common sense, can this
prove that they had no right to equal laws, and to
be freed from oppression ? To reason thus—to draw
such inferences from such premises, is to confound all
ideas of common sense and right reason. What ! de-
termine the justice of a cause by the strength of the •,
combatants! This, indeed, has ever been the logic ofi
tyrants ; but it has ever been reprobated by the good
and virtuous, and treated with open ridicule by all
who have no direct interest in the reign of despotism.
But the Neapolitans, by the perfidy of their own
Despot, who had sworn to maintain the Revolution
that had been effected ; by overwhelming force of,
overgrown Pespots leagued against the independence
and liberties, not only of their own People, but of all
States of inferior strength; and by the cowardice, or,

1 perhaps, tnore fitly, by the physical tnab* of her
' own People, have again been doomed to wear their
former fetters! And therefore the cause of Liberty is
perished for ever. Yes, if men could cease to feel wrong,
and tyranny, and injustice, and robbery, and oppres-
sion, and insult! then, and not till then might this
I sacred cause be considered as hopeless and lifeless.
But they have read history to little purpose, who
expect that Revolutions are to be effected in a day;
that the abuses of tyranny and organized oppression
are .to be remedied on the instant. A towering tree
of large dimensions, and of the growth of ages, is
not to be rooted up by voting that it is 'a nui-
sance, or felled by one stroke of the hatchet ; but
let the blows be only repeated sufficiently often,
and, however little the apparent effect -of each
may be, considered separately, the tree, even if
sound at the core, will at last fall ; and the sooner
will this take effect if it be already rotten at the core,
and the workmen determined in their operations.—
The present reverse in Italy is but the reflux of one
of the many waves whose motions bear forward the
full tide of political regeneration. The mud walls
opposed to the flood, Hbwever broad and high they
may at present appear, are undermining rapidly, and
ere long will be swept away by the mighty inundation
We have not abandoned our hopes respecting the
oppressed People of Italy. There is still some energy
apparent, and a will .to be free ; and we think the
time is by no means distant, when the Continental
tyrants will deprecate the day in which they suffered
themselves to intermeddle with the affairs of other
States, over which they had no legitimate controul.

We have received to-day the Paris Papers of Tues-
day, and letters from Vienna of the 28th March.—
Their contents amply confirm the accounts which
we had previously received of the Insurrection of the
Greeks of the Turkish Empire. It is considered by
all who are connected with the countries which art
the seat of it, as of the most formidable description:
—Among the extracts subjoined, our Readers will
find the General Proclamation of Prince YPSILANTI
to all the Greeks. It is drawn up with great force.
and the topics are well chosen for producing a power-
ful impression on those to whom it is addressed: He
tells them, too, that their brethren and friends are
everywhere ready. " The Servians, the Suliotes, and
all Epirus in arms await us." Here he points to a
connection with Am PACHA. The allusion to Rus-
sia is also sufficiently plain : " Let us march, my
friends, and you will see our rights protected by one
of the first Powers."
PROCLAMATION OF PRINCEYPSILANTI TO ALL

THE GREEKS.
" TO ARMS, roil. OUR COUNTRY •ND OUIL RRLIGION !

" The hour has struck, valiant Greeks! For a long time the
people of Europe, fighting for their rights and their liberties,
invited us to follow them. They, although almost free, have
sought with all their strength to increase their liberty, and thus
all their happiness.
" Our brethren and our friends are ready on all sides. The
Servians, the Suliotes, and all Epirus, await us in arms. Let
us unite with enthusiasm, our country calls us on.
" Europe has its looks fixed upon us, and is astonished at our
tranquillity. Let the sound, then, of our warlike trumpet, re-
sound through all the mountains—let the values re-echo the tee.
rible din of our arms ! Europe will admire our valour, and cur
trembling and debased enemies will fly before us.
0 The civilized people of Europe are busy in laying the foun-
dations of their own happiness, and, full of gratitude for the be-
nefits they received from our ancestors, desire the liberty of
Greece. Shewing ourselves worthy of our virtuous ancestors,
and of the age, we hope to deserve their support and their aid,
and many of them, partisans of liberty, will come to fight by our
sides. Let us march, friends, and you will see one of the first
Powers protect our rights. You will see, even among our ene-
mies, some who will turn their backs on them, and will join us,
drawn on by the justice of our cause. Let them present them-
selves with sincerity, and our country will receive them into her
bosom. What, then, holds back your powerful arm ? The enemy
is weak and without courage, without vigour; our Generals are
skilful, and the whole nation filled with enthusiasm.
" Assemble, valiant and generous Greeks ! Let the national
phalanxes form, let the patriotic legions present themselves, and
you will see the old Colossi of Despotism fall of themselves be-
fore our victorious standards. To the sound of our trumpet,
echo will answer from all the shores of the seas of lonia and the
/Egean. The Greek ships, which in time of peace knew how
to trade, and in war to fight, will spread fire and sword through
all the ports of the Tyrant, terror and death. What Greek friend
will hear with indifference the call of his country? At Rome,
a friend of Cesar, spewing the bloody garment of the Tyrant,
roused the People to enthusiasm. What will you do then,
Greeks? You whose country, stripped of her vestments, shews
her wounds, and with a broken voice implores the help of her
children! PROVIDENCL my dear fellow-citizens, taking pity on
our misfortunes, has so combined affairs, that with little trouble
and efforts we shall be able to acquire, with liberty, every kind
s(happiness. If, then, by an unpardonable indifference, we do
, oust take advantage of them, the Tyrant, become furious, will
I multiply his strength, and we shall be for ever the most wretched
of all nations.

44 Turn your eyes, fellow-citizens, and observe our deplorable
situation ; see our temples dulled, our children torn from our
arms by our barbarous tyrants for their shameful pleasures; our
houses despoiled ; our fields devastated ; and ourselves vile
slaves. It is time to break an insupportable yoke, to deliver
our country ; to throw down the Crescent from its height ; to
elevate the Cross, the standard by which we may still conquer,
and thus avenge our Country and our Holy Religion from the
profanation and the mockery of barbarians.
" Among ourselves, the most noble is he who would most
bravely defend the rights of his country; and who woul•] most
usefully serve it. The assembled nation will direct its friends,
and to a Supreme Tribunal all our actions will be subjected.

" Let us then all act with one mind. Let the rich sacrifice a
portion of their wealth. Let the .Ministers of Religion excite
the people by their own example. Let the learned contribute
by their useful counsels; and let our'brethren who serve foreign
Powers, either in a military or civil capacity, each take his leave
of the Power whom he serves, and, all united, run the sublime
and brilliant career which now opens to them. Let them each
pay to his country the tribute which is due to I.er. Lrt U 5 arm

nour. Dat she will reprove, as illegitimate, and as Asiatic
bastards, those who shew thnnselves deaf and disobedient to

dear to the shades of the Theban F.paminondas, and of the Athe-
nian Thrsybulus, who conquered and destroyed the thirty Ty-
ants—to those of Ilarmodius and Aristogiton, who broke the
yoke of Pisistratus—to that of Timoleon, who restored liberty
to Corinth and to Syracuse—above all, to those of .11iltiades,
Themistocles, Leonidas, and the three hundred who massacred
io many times their number of the innumerable army of the bar-
barous Persians—the hour is come to destroy their successors,
mote barbarous and still more detestable. Let us do this or
perish. To arms, then, my friends, your Country calls you!
(Signed) " ALEX. YPSILANTI.
" Jassy, Feb. 2.1 (March 7), 1821."
TRIESTE, MARCH 27.

Prince Ypsilanti has advanced on the Morea and
Epirus. The Turks are everywhere massacred. Ali
Pacha and Ypsilanti are ready to support each other.

Yesterday news arrived of an Insurrection in Con-
stantinople, in consequence of the Insurrection in
Wallachia being known. The Greek Patriarch, it is
said, was massacred. The letters received this day
do not, however, confirm the news.

Several Carbonari have been arrested at Brescia,
and among others the comic actor Canova. Other
Comedians have fled to Switzerland.

PARIS, APRIL io.

Letters from Piedmont state, that the Austrian
troops are concentrated on the Tecino, and that they
Are preparing to pass that river on the 10th and 15th
of April. According to the latest accounts from
Chambery, only about 300 troops remained with the
Government of that town, the rest having joined
the troops of the Junta. Some arrangements have
been adopted to place the town out of the risk of a
coup-de-main, or to repress any popular movement.

happily, however, not the slightest vestige of irrita-
tion between the people and the soldiery. The greater
number of those killed by the fire f,om the battery
were soldiers.

A Mail from Hamburgh arrived this forenoon,
with Papers to the 3d of April. They contain the
account of the Consecration of a Monument erected
on the Templow (or Tempelhof) mountain, in ho-
nour of the noble efforts made by the Prussian people
in the last struggle with BoNaPawrit. The KING has
yet another monument to erect before the Prussian
people can be able to say that they have gained any
thing by their efforts—a monument to record the
grant of that Constitution which his MAJESTY so
solemnly promised them as their reward.
The military monument now erected is of cast-
iron, 60 feet high, without the bisis of stone, and in
the style of the middle ages, with appropriate orna-
ments and intscriptions. The following is the prin-
cipal iustrip.i •n:
" The King to the People, who, at his call, nobly offered
their Property and their Lives:
0 To the Fallen, a memorial !
" To the Living, an acknowledgment!
" To Posterity, an encouragement!"

The following important extract of a letter,, from
France, has been handed to us this moaning:

" AIORLAIX, BRITTANY, APRIL 4.

"I would have answered your letter sooner, had I
not been on ,a tour through Brittany. On my return,
yesterday, I lost no time to communicate to you the
situation of that part of France, which, I can assure
you, is exceedingly agitated, and the disposition of
the people, through the whole of the country, is ripe
for a Revolution."
