EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.

4 PARIS, APRIL 4.

C 4 If the reports disseminated, in the political cir-
cles here may be relied on, the Austrians, on their
entry into Naples, offered to the Neapolitans a mixed
Constitution, something resembling that of France,
and, as an inducement for their acceptance of it, inti-
mated that refusal would be immediately followed
by the advance of a Russian- Army also into their
territory. The Neapolitans are said to have ac-
Auiesced immediately in this proposition, and also,
anxious to suspend the threatened march of the Rus-
sians, to have sent an express to head-quarters to de-
clare their obedience. They were inform", how-
ever, that it was too late; the Russians were on the
march, and must proceed.

Among the propositions which General Fardella
was charged to make, one was, that the Austrians
should halt; but this proposition was not listened to,
and General Frimont received orders to continue his
march on Naples.
In the beginning of April, twenty-two. Austrian
Regiments, under the command of Generals Witt-
genstein and Klabersbere, will arrive in Lombardy.

The Russian army of Volhinia has received orders
to march in five days. It consists of 80,000 infantry,
10,000 cavalry, 3,000 Cosiacks, and SOO cannon. The
Commanders are Generals Saken and Jeine

TERRACINA, MARCH 19.

The city of Fondi svai on the 18th of March occu-
pied by three companies of Austrian Chasseurs, and
a piquet of Hussars. On the advance of this detach-
ment, the Neapolitans abandoned the strong positions
of Fondi and Itri. The inhabitants of Fondi gave a
very favourable reception to the Austrian troops, who
observe, in the.places which they occupy, the most
rigorous discipline.

FROM THE MILAN GAZETTE OF MARCH 26.

The following news is from Florence, dated the 9,3 d :

Although the capture of Fondi and of Itri by Cap-
tain Fetzer, at the head of three companies of Chas-
seurs, is not in the Bulletin, it is notOe less authentic'
The enemy did not defect this post better than the
others. Major Curtis this morning presented to the
King of the Two Sicilies a letter from the Hereditary
Prince. A deputation from Aquila has also arrived
at Florence this morning. At Naples everything is
in the greatest confusion, and the Chiefs of the Party
have resolved to embark.

Some of the Daily Papers affect to laugh at the
accounts respecting an insurrection in the lonian
Islands, and the views entertained by the Cabinet of
-St. Petersburgh
.respecting Turkey. The prospect
of a general war in Europe may, indeed, be very
amusing to some people, who cannot for a moment
allow themselves to contemplate the possible result
of the miserable policy by which the Great Powers
would delude mankind, while they are individually
plotting secretly how they may overreach each other
in the division of the general plunder. But the old
adage Fhottli not be quite forgotten : It is wise to
catch the bear before you skin him."

There are accounts in town of the nature which
we stated yesterday, however much certain men may
wish the fact not to be credited. They call for parti-
culars, as if their patrons were ignorant of the facts—
as if Ministers had no communications from their
Agents at Odessa, nor from their Minister at Con-
stantinople; and as-if they were ignorant of all the
secret movements of the Russian emissaries in the,
lonian Islands. The Morning Chronicle of this day,
speaking of these matters, asserts, that the facts will
soon be confirmed by the bursting of them The exhich
is already charged.—" It is well known that it has
been the policy of ALEXANDER to encourage the
settlement of Greeks at Odessa. Its chief popula-
tion, indeed, is Greek, and that place has been the
Foyer of the plot. There it has been nurtured, and
is now brought to maturity. The design is no longer
concealed. A public subscription by the Greek in-
habitants has been made, and three hundred thousand
rubles were subscribed by them, up to the 9th of
March last, when the last advices were dispatched.
A Proclamation, avowing the determination of ac-
complishing the deliverance of Greece, was actually
printed, and was to have been publicly read in the
Greek Church the Sunday after; but this, for the
moment, was prevented by the Governor, though
passports were freely given by him to the inhabitants
to proceed to Kerahmar, near Jassy, which was ap-
pointed the rendezvous, and where Russian Officers
were ready to regiment and discipline them. Above
200,000 Russian troops are actually assembled on
the borders of the Black Sea, and the insurrection of
the Greeks is to be simultaneous with an attack by
Russia on Me Turkish provinces on the Danube. So
says the account r

To the foregoing statement of the account which
has reached the Morning Chronicle, are added the
following observations:
"If this prove true, we know what it means. Fortunately
for the world, there are now no such things as secrets of State.
We know that, independent of the mutual agreement among all
the Sovereigns of Europe to check, and to get rid of liberty
wherever they can, there are certain territorial objects which
form the constant standing policy of their Cabinets. It is not a
secret that Austria wants the whole of Italy. It is not a secret
that the Scythian Czar wants all Poland, and all Moldavia,
and all Wallachia. It is not a secret that, holy.as the Alliance
is, it cannot go en in harmony if the principle of -",reciprocal
compensation" be ence departed from by its members. The
result is obvious. Austria has had a sort of Cod-send (to uss a
familiar word) in the Neapolitan troubles; and now Russia is
to come in for the windfalls of the storm she has been raising
among her Turkish neighbours. As to the measures prepa-
ratory to their several projects, however, the ottcessor of
Tnearrant has been an overmatch, in pretences at least, fur his
confederate the King of the Huns. Russia has never fully exe-
cuted her last Treaty with the Ottoman Porte. It has
always been her policy to keep back some trifling point, whe-
ther in the negotiation or the execution of her Treaties with
Turkey, on which she might, in due time and season, re-com-
mence hostilities; and in Provinces inhabited almost entirely
by Christians of the same .sect with herself, points of this
nature ran alvi-ays be brought forward, with the help of a
little excitement on her part. Austria, we saw, was obliged
to make a quarrel with Naples. The Scythian has a quarrel
ill ready with Turkey. Within the last three months, the
advices froin Constantinople hate noticed, occasionally, angry
conferences between his Ambassador and the Turkish Go.
vemnsent. Now, if that Minister can but contrive to get
himself sent to the Seven Towers, his Master may crown
a CONSTANTINZ, Eureaos OP' CAME, before the sumnier.—
There is no impediment to it. Austria must consent. Prance
has abandoned her true continental policy, for the sake of se-
curing the legitimate succession of the Crown; and England is
out of the question. England can do nothing. She cannot even
remonstrate. The nonsense daily talked in the House of Com-
mons about here commanding situation, and her • high rank
among the nations,' &c. &c. imposes on nobody, not even on
Sir Tumuli LIRTIIIRIDGE. England, under hes present Rulers, is ,

A Mail from Hainburgh arrived this forenoon vrith
Papers to the 80th of March ; but their contents pre.
sent nothing of any interest.

By information from Bermuda, it appears, that
several cargoes of lumber had been sent from theme
to Surinam, to supply the wants of the inhabitant%
who were determined to lose no time in rebuilding
their town.

New York Papers arrived this morning to the 17di
March. The following is given as an extract of a
Letter from Cape Henry, St. Domingo, dated 2d
February :

" President Boyer is expected to return here in
about six weelc, to sell the public property, to tom.
plete his appointments, to project and carry into exe-
cution plans for rebuilding and repairing the ruins
of this once beautiful town, to proclaim the new
Constitution, and, if possible, to enforce the new laws.
Affairs are far from being settled. Although Boyer,
on the whole, is popular, he wants Christophe's energy
and promptness, which are necessary to govern a pen,
ple who have seen two revolutions."

An article, quoted from the Curasoa Parts tithe
4th February, says—“ The arrivals this week are Ml*
commonly few: there is but little intelligence, except
that General Bolivarhad left St. Martha for Santa Fe
accompanied by Commodore Aury, whose squadron,
we ate told, remained at the former place. It it
likewise stated, that some unpleasant differences
existed between Admiral Brion and General Mon.
