THE FUNDS.
This morning the Market opened very brisk at
723/4 and much business was done: but before eleven
o'clock, a very respectable Broker sold L. 100,000

Stock, which caused an immediate depression to
7214 ; he had, a few days previously, thrown a Pil-
lion and a half upon the Market. The Revenue, for
the last Quarter, Is said to be £350,000 short of the
• corresponding Quarter of the preceding year.

It is currently reported on 'Change, that advices
Lave just been received that the tricoloured flag has
been hoisted at Toulouse, and that a serious commo-
tion had taken place.

The events respecting Naples must open the eyes
of mankind (if any still remained blind) to the true
objects of the Holy Alliance. Their treatment of the
Italians amounts to a plain declaration that they have
formed a league against the independence of the Na-
tions of Europe generally. Yes! without any dis-
guise whatever it is avowed to be the intention of
•• The Great Powers" to regulate by their own will
everything that respects change in the internal go-
vernment of the little Powers ! and, to the shame of
the age in which we live, even England furnishes
toad-eaters who applaud their proceedings and ezult
in the degradation and oppression of the helpless,
by the military bands of these Despots! We never
have been, nor ever will we be, found approving of
measures subversive of the rights of Nations. Ty-
ranny may for a time prevail over Right; but we
are not of those who believe that the reign of despo-
tism is to continue for ever. On the contrary, we
are well assured that " the arm of the oppressor shall
be broken." _ _

It may to some appear singular, that, notwith-
standing the success which has hitherto attended the
measures of these Legitimates, as the Despots delight
to be called, we should still entertain hopes for the
fate of mankind : but, great as has been the rapidity
of their movements, and feeble as has been•the resist-
ance opposed to their legions by the Neapolitans, the
war is not yet ended between despotic Rulers and
the oppressed People—between Tyranny and Oppres-
sion ! On the contrary, we consider all that bas yet
liappened as merely an open declaration of war on
the part of the Great Powers, against the whole People
of Europe. What measures the Latter may pursue,
not only for defence but for deliverance, is yet in the
bosom of Time ; but, where the numbers on one side
are a single dozen or two, and those on the other
millions, there can be no question what the issue
must eventually be, however great or numerous may
be the present impediments to the establishment of
the independence of Nations.
But is the conflict yet over for the present, in
Italy? Even that remains to be seen. There seems,
we allow, to be but feeble reasons for hope now left,
but, to use a common adage, " while there is life
there is hope." One thing we know, namely, that
notwithstanding the defection,- or treason, or what-
ever name may be given to it, of Prince CARIG-
NAN° ; and notwithstanding the statements which
have been published in the enslaved continental
Journals, the Piedmontese have not yet submitted
to the mandates of the holy men of Troppau.—
Their efforts for emancipation may prove fruitless;
but while they carry on the struggle the wishes of all
good men must be with them; and till their subju-
gation shall have been put beyond all doubt by the
event itself, we will not utterly despair of their ulti-
mate success. It may be said, indeed, that our grounds
for hope must, necessarily, be feeble. We allow
that they are feeble, if we look only at the hosts em-
battled against the insignificant numbers of the de-
fenders ; but in the affairs of nations so many unfore-
seen contingencies often intervene, that we have learnt,
from experience, never to conclude positively respect-
ing the issue till we see the sword again in its scabbard.
The arrivals to-day consist of the Paris Papers of
Monday, and extracts, by express, from those of Tues-
day. They appear to leave in no manner of doubt
the occupation of Naples by the Austrians. As to
the events in Piedmont, they are' involved in more
obscurity ; and it is difficult to collect what is the
seal state of matters. The following are extracts:
PARIS, APRIL I.

The accounts from Naples which have successively
arrived for some days, were of so strange a nature,
and presented so many contradictions and inco-

herences, that the distrust they naturally excited ne-
cessarily produced reserve in publishing them. Now,
however, all doubts are removed ; the Neapolitans
have opened their gates to the Austrians, and yester-
day a semi official Journal announced, on the autho'
rity of a telegraphic dispatch, that the Austrians en-
tered Naples on the 23d of last month. This was an
inevitable consequence of the Convention of Capua.
The details, the first causes of this denouement, are not
yet known ; but the facts and results are sufficient to
make them to be conjectured. The events of Pied-
mont present, in certain relspects the same obscurity
which for some time enveloped the affairs of Naples.
Dispatches arrived yesterday to the Neapolitan Am"
hassador, which brought him the intelligence that the
famous Pepe, the Insurgent General, had embarked
on the 21st; on board a vessel prepared for his
flight, carrying with him 200,000 Neapolitan ducats.
It is thus that these Revolutionary Chiefs, these mag-
nanimous Patriots, when they have thrown their
country into confusion, and drawn down vengeance
on their accomplices, fly, and carry with them the
spoils of the country they have betrayed.—Gazette
de France.
The Lions Journal of the 29th contains the follow-
ing statement :—Accounts arrived here announce,
that the Prince Regent has returned to Turin, at the
head of the troops commanded by General Latour,
and that the Insurgents have thrown themselves into
the citadels of • Turin and Alessandria. It is added,
that the wishes of the nation recal Victor Emma-
nuel to his Capital.
The earthquake which lately made such dreadful
ravages in the Island of Zante, was also felt in the
peninsula of the Morel. The town of Lala, it is said,
has been completely destroyed, and more than .500
persons have perished in the ruins. Several other
towns and eillages have been ravaged, and a great
number of lives have been lest. In the town of Pyr-
gos, 300 houses wete thrown down. The earthquake
lasted several days, and every day violent shocks suc-
ceeded each other after intervals of a few hours.

Yesterday, after Mass, the King held a Levee.—
Among those present were particularly remarked,
Prince Talleyrand, the Duke of Dalmatia, the Prince
of Eckmuhl, Count Jourdan, and the Marquis of
Viomenil.

The following is the Proclamation issued by the
Governor of Gliooa, which occasioned the disturb-
ances in that place:
" You have given me such Battering proofs of your confidence,
that I ought not to hesitate to make known to you with equal
confidence the great events of the day, and to instruct you ors
your true interests.
" The Duke of Genevois has ksued the following Declaration,
to which that Prince has enjoined me to give the greatest pub-
licity. The Prince of Carignano has also informed me, that,
moved by the sentiments of honour and fidelity which distin-
guish him, he bad fully conformed to everything which the said
Declaration directs :

" 0. Genoese! you may congratulate yourselves on the good
order you have maintained, and on your submission to the Au-
thorities. You have thereby acquired the right of expecting
those rewards of sovereign munificence which will not fail to be
bestowed upon you.

" The tranquillity and moderation you have always preserved,
and from which I hope you never will deviate, induce me to
believe that we shall be spared the necessity of foreigkco-opera-
don, and the entrance within these walls of the Allied Army al-
ready assembled on the frontiers of the kingdom.
" Aid me, and your maritime commerce will not be inter-
rupted ; your Sag will be respected ; and I shall have the saris-
faction of seeing you happy. (Signed)
" Genoa, March 21. " Count DES GENETS."
The Declaration of the King, Charles, Felix was
added to this Proclamation.

4. The Revolution which has overthrown, during
the fifteen days which are just concluded, the Mo-
narchy which is so dear to us, cannot be compared
to-any other.. It has been recognised neither by the
people on whom its leaders reckoned, nor by the
army which they have in vain sought to mislead.
Four days after it had commenced they proved un-
able to direct its course. The Revolution has already
turned against them. Events which they did not
suppose possible—the resistance of the King—his re-
fusal to receive law from hit subjects—the firm and
bold measure of his abdication—changed the situa-
tion of our affairs._ _ _ _

66 The Duchy of Savoy has remained at peace, a
stranger to all the public troubles. The City of
Chamberry has been menaced by the want of disci-
pline in some of the troops, whose superior Officers
have always maintained the most prudent conduct,
but who were seduced by the deceitful promises of
the subaltern Officers, entirely gained by the deceit-
ful promises of the conspirators. But the prudence
of our Governor, Count Andezeno, in removing these
disaffected troops, has saved us from the dangers that
menaced us. Yesterday, the brave Chasseurs of Sa-
voy were assembled, when the Governor read to them
the Proclamation of the Duke of Genevois, amidst
repeated cries of 6 Live the King,' and the acclama-
tions of the people.
" Orders have been issued to assemble at Chem-
berry the Provincial contingents of the Brigade of
Savoy. At the head of these troops the Governor is
confident, not only that he will be able to maintain
order in Savoy, but also that he will render important
service to the Royal cause.
" It is gratifying to be able to state, that all those
persons honoured by the King with his esteem and
confidence have rivalled the zeal and activity of our
Governor. All have shown themselves faithful to
their duty, and to their oaths. Among the citizens,
no one has attempted to withdraw his obedience to
lawful authority.
" Thus, after 15 days of troubles, our country, so
severely menaced, resumes its peace and its repose.
The revolters, without hope, without resources, pos-
sess only the citadels of Turin and Alessandria, in
which they have shut tip soldiers of all arms, driven
from them by the mass of their brethren• in arms,
and some Students, whose enthusiasm will soon be
extinguished by fatigue and privation, as well as by
their foresight of the lot that awaits them."
EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.

14 FRANKFORT, MARCH 27.
The arrival of Prince Hardenberg at Rome was
so unexpected, that his carriages were compelled to
wait for four hours is the Place d'Espagne before
suitable accommodation could be found for the first
Minister of the Prussian Monarchy. M. Niebuhr,
the Prussian Minister accredited at Rome, was igno-

rant of tbe• arrival of Prince Hazdenberg, until be
saw him. The Chancellor has held long conferences
both with M. Niebuhr and with M. lt*mdohr, Prus.-
_

sian Minister to the King of Naples, who was also in
Rome. It is presumed that the object of Prince Har
denberg is To obtain just notions of the actual situa-
tion of the' capital of the Two Sicilies. He has also,
conferred frequently with Baron Stein, so well known
for his former hatred to Bonaparte, when at the
height of his power. All these circumstances induce
a belief that Prince Hardenberg is fulfilling a politi-
cal mission of an important nature; for it is difficult
to imagine that at his age, and at this season, he has
undertaken so long a journey from motives of plea-
sure alone."
VIENNA, MARC!! 22.

The troubles of Wallachia have rendered precau-
tionary measures necessary on the part of our Govern-
ment. Orders have been given to form a corps of
observation on the frontiers. The regiment of Impe-
rial Hussars, which was-at Tenieswar, has already
marched for that destination.

All the corps of the Austrian army are about to be
placed on the footing of active service. Our Sove-
seign's intention is to terminate the war as speedily as
possible. The forces which we shall have in Italy in
three weeks will amount to 150,000 men, and will,
besides, be reinforced by Russian troops.
There is now no longer any doubt of the success
of our arms in the kingdom of Naples. The resist-
ance of the enemy was faint and insignificant on
every point. The corps of the Prince of Ilesse Hom-
bourg had no occasion to fight. All the prisoners
which were taken were afterwards sent to their homes.

It appears certain that Baron Frimont had orders not
to commence hostilities, and, in fact, the Neapolitans
attacked the first.
