ANOTHER LETTER-SAME DATE.

This City is gteatly agitated, in consequence of
the arrival of intelligence from Genoa, by which it
appears a dreadful commotion has taken place in
that city. The Constitution of Spain was first hailed
with rapture, but when the Protest of the new King
was made known, a diversity of opinion prevailed,
and the result has been that blood was spilt. The
batteries were opened, I have heard, on the people ;
and the troops in that garrison took different sides.
The British Charge d'Affaires has requested the Eno.

i di here not to proceed to Genoa until further intel-
ligence shall be received. Every man here is under
arms, and the whole of the regular army is on their
march to the frontiers. The report is very generally
circulated here, that the Austrians are in possession of
Naples. I have not a moment more, for the Courier-
-The following Placard has just been issued here:
44 THE PROVISIONAL JUNTA.

" Cenzetts!—The country has to deplore the tumults which
have happened in Genoa, and to rejoice at the same time in see-
ing the new order of things enthusiastically received there both
by the Royal troops and by the People. The Constitutional Sys-
tem will be the greatest and most durable chain of the yet ref
cent union between Genoa and Piedmont. A publication, not
very prudent, which, by the advice of persons the most prudent
and esteemed both in the old and new order of things, was
Av./aided at Turin, was the cause of the tumults. Let us com-
fort ourselves, however, with the reflection, that in Genoa good
arose out of the evil, as frequently happens in human affairs,
namely, the ardent, loud, and strong manifestation Of a great
wish—the wish of Piedmont, of Italy, and of Europe.
The extraordinary nature of the circumstances in Genoa,
induced General Count Desgeneys to give his powers to an
Administrative Commission of Government, which has already
connected itself with the National Junta. It has nominated,
provisionally, a Chief of Police, of which it demanded the con-
firmation. The Junta will do everything to satisfy the wishes
of the Genoese, and to preserve to the King and the Country so
precious and noble a part of this flourishing dominion.

"DAL POZZO."

By subsequent letters from Turin, it apears that a
formal declaration of war has been issued by the
Piedmontese Government against Austria, and that
troops have been collecting with-a view of marching
on Milan without delay. The militia had been called
out, and the Austrian Ambassador, Bender, who had
been detected in an endeavour to excite disturbances
in Turin, by cffering bribes to both Officers and men,
has been politely invited to leave the capital. The
Austrians are supposed to have only from 12,000 to
14,000 men in the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. The
ft lends of the Italian cause. expect much from the
St.balpine armies, whose cry is "guerra ai barbari."

The Holy Allies, and those who may secretly have
co-operated with them, are likely to have much more
to do than some of them contemplated when they
resolved on a crusade against the rights of all inde-
pendent States. The Public were lately informed of
insurrectionary movements in Moldavia and Walla-
c:tia, which caused some uneasiness to a Legitimate
new of some standing in Europe. Nor is this the
only quarter in EuropeanTur key, where the People are
manifesting their will, whenever circumstances may
favour them, to shake off the fetters of foreigners,
and to legislate for their own benefit. According to
accounts received yesterday from Corfu, an Insurrec-
tion of rather an alarming description has broken out
in the Greek Islands, and for which, it seems, prepa-
rations had been making for a long time.
According to these accounts, the Insurgents have
been supplied from Odessa with warlike stores of
every description ; numbers of Officers have received
Russian passports -to go to the lonian Islands ; and
treasure to some amount has been amassed to forward
the enter prize.

Should this news be confirmed, in what situation
will this country stand? This it is impossible even
to guess at, till events shall develope something more
se.pecting the politics of the Court of St. Petersburgh.
It. is the opinion of many well-informed men, that on
this occasion the Greek's are acting in concert with
Russia, which Power, it is well known, has long been
seeking for means to establish its influence in the
Mediterranean; and that the Emperor ALEXANDER
will make the emancipation of Greece generally, a
pretest for an attack on Constantinople.

Those -who reason thus, think it probable that this
bonus to ALEXANDER was secretly settled to be al-
lowed as an equivalent for his acquiescing in the sub-
jugation of Italy by Austria! But if we may credit
other accounts, the Emperor of ItusstA is so honest
and moderate in his view's, and so firmly bent on
maintaining legitimate Governments, that he h.+ no-
tified to the PORTE his readiness to send a large mi-
litary force to bring the insurgents in Wallachia to
reason, should his interference be at all necessary for
the maintenance of the ancient order of things—and
for the stability of the peace of Europe, so happily
provided for by the existing treaties of the Holy Allies.
We will not take upon ourselves, from the scanty
fatts that have yet transpired, to decide which of
these complexions are most discernible in the aspect
exhibited by Russia at the present moment; but we
imagine few persons will be found, who have marked
the conduct of Russia towards Poland and her
Northern neighbours, ready to give that Power im-
plicit credit for disinterested motives in any one
movement. To the public professions of the Auto-
crat, we attach as much importance as other people
do—and no more. When they avow any purpose of
aggression, on any pretext whatever, we believe they
may always be credited; but when they embrace cir-
cumstances not yet fully developed, we always re-
serve to ourselves the same right that belongs to
their author—a right to interpret them according to
circumstances.

One fact deserves some attention at the present
moment. The leader of insurrection in Wallachia
was formerly an Officer in the Russian service—and,
if we may judge by his name, probably a liussian by
birth. On this we only remark, that it is not usual
for Russian Officers to lend their military services in
any enterprize without express permission. But be

this as it may, if we may credit accounts which have
this day reached us from Vienna, this insurrection
has, for the present been quelled. The following is
the letter to which we allude :

14 VIENNA, MARCH SO.

" Accprding to accounts from Bucharest of the
22d of February, the leader of the Insurgents, Theo-
dore Wladimiskoi, has been beaten by the troops of
the Prince assembled by the Boyars, so that there is
reason to believe that this revolt will be speedily sup-
pressed. It is said that Wladimiskoi has been an
Officer in the service of Russia. The functionary
nominated by the Sublime Porte as the Representat
tive of the Hospodar, had arrived at Bucharest."
From this, however, we turn for the present, as
not so directly involving our interests (though ulti-
mately it may) to the same extent as the affairs of
the lonian Islands. if it shall be confirmed that an
insurrection has taken place in that quarter, the in-
ference, whether correct or not, will be, that under
the mild sway of Great Britain, no attempt of this
kind could possibly have taken place in that quarter
without the secret operation of foreign influence.
Now, what must this lead to? It was the hope of
many that this country might safely confide in
the justice, honour, and integrity of the Holy Al-
lies; and, therefore, it was thought we might lie
by and look on quietly at their invasion of oilier
countries, on pretext of guarding them against the
horrors of revolutionary movements. But (fin-
less indeed we resolve to insulate ourselves com-
pletely from the interests of all European States) how
long shall we be able to sic still and look on quietly
at every act of the "Great Powers," while the weight
of oppression is everywhere urging the People to seek
for a redress of their grievances ? Europe is at this
moment in a most feverish condition. The crisis of
the malady has not yet arrived, and what may be
the result is more than all the wise men of Troppau,
even if assisted by faculties of England and France,
can possibly prognosticate with any degree of certainty.
