NEAPOLITAN REVOLUTIOA:

A Pamphlet, written in Paris by the Neapolitan
General COLETTA, gives the following particulars
respecting this Revolution :
a The Carbonari formed the nucleus of the discontented. In-
sensibly all those who thought differently from the Ministers
became their partisans, and one may form a just idea of the
progress of discontent by the great number of persons whose
names were on the list of the Society. These amounted to
042,000 in the month of March last.
• We were placed on a volcano, and still the Ministry slept.
Awakened sometimes by partial tumults, or by the speeches of
tie friends of their country, the Ministers employed the inter-
vals in committing new arbitrary acts, which soured the minds
of die people, and increased the list of the Carbonari. This dis-
content seized upon all classes. The army, which had parti-
cular motives for being even more discontented than the Carbo-
nari, desired as much as their followers a salutary reform. In
its organization, an ill-understood economy had rendered the
Officers and soldiers wretched, whilst the mass of rewards was
squandered blindly on -men accustomed not to blush at their
acts or injustice.
• Nothing'svas necessary but a single spark to set fire to the
whole Hrgdom. That spark sprung from Nola on the 2d July.
In no part of the kingdom had the police been so rigorous against
the sects as at Nola; and in no part had the sectaries been so
ardent as in that city. This ardour increased by dangers. The
inhabitants of Nola were particularly persecuted from the instant
that the Police, monstrously united to the Courts of Justice, en-
forced its system of rigour. The cavalry regiment of Bourbon
Vero in garrison in that city; several men of that corps were
Cat bonari. Lieutenant Morelli was one of an elevated rank. In
tike morning of the 2d of July, that Officer resolved to proclaim
the Constitutional Government. The priest, Minichini, a man
of sagacity, but nevertheless inflamed with patriotism, promised
to assist him.' From the resolve to the execution there was only
an Instant. Morelli ran to the head-quarters of his regiment :
lie invited the soldiers to follow him. Minichini assembled I
some Carbonari, and all joined in the cry—" God, the King, and
cotsstitutim." Thus, in less than half an hour, 150 men belong-
ing to the cavalry, and 20 Carbonari, became, *ithout having
foreseen it, the propagators of the great cause. Among the 130
men, there svcre snout who had never been Carbonari ; but there
was not on that account the less affection between them, nor the
less desire of promoting an amelioration of the system of Govern-
ment. There was no time to give notice to the Carbonari in the
neighbourhood of Nola, because the. movement was too sudden.
" The sacred Standard of Liberty soon directed itself towards
Avellino, following the high road. Lieutenant-Colonel de Con-
cilii, Chief of the Staff of the third Military Division, and a
great friend of Morelli's, was at Avellino. That Officer, full
of love for his country, was powerful by his credit in the Pro-
vince of the farther Principality. Morelli wrote to him, as soon
as he had arrived at Monteforte, to announce his movement ;
but as that news might be false, before answering the letter,
De Coneilii sent a tonawnger to assure him of it. At the same
time he communicated to the Commandant of the Province the
gep_orth in circulation regarding the events at hiola.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1820.
ST. Martmew.—Holiday at the Bank.

STOCK EXCHANGE, SEPTEMBER 21.

In the course of yesterday forenoon the Funds
seemed as if they were going to retrieve themselves
from the sudden fall they had experienced. About
one o'clock Consols were, for the Account, 6634 /8
buyers; but towards three o'clock a sudden depres-
sion took place, and they were done at 661/2 sellers.
This unexpected turn of the Market was caused by
various reports in circulation; such as private letters
from St. Petersburgh, stating that the people in that
Capital had manifested a great discontent against
their Government; also, that a great Russian House
had sold £200,000 Stock ; and the last report, that
the Neapolitan and Austrian troops had had a skir-
mish. This day is a holiday at the Bank, but the
Stock Exchange is open, and little business doing.
Consols opeded this morning at 663/4 Ih.

The Report on the Spanish Finances, given in
another part of our Paper, is an interesting document.
It presents a plain, and seemingly a sincere exposi-
tion of the financial concerns of that kingdom, and
of the means which it possesses for their improve-
ment and the liquidation of its National Debt. The
first mean of relief proposed is economy and re-
trenchinent, by abolishing useless pensions and sine-
cures: a modification is to take place in tithes and
Crown monopolies; and the Custom-house tariffs are
to be remodelled. For the current year the existing
taxes are to remain—one-half of the direct taxes are,
however, to be taken off, and to cover this deficit a
loan of two hundred millions of rials (two millions
sterling) is to be raised. A new finance plan will
commence next year.

The particulars respecting the Neapolitan Revolu-
tion will also be read with interest. Had not the
people been prepared for a change, by their suffer-
ings, it would have been impossible for such seem-
ingly insignificant agents to have brought it about.
The same remark applies with equal force to the
Spanish Revolution, which was brought about by
the exertions of a Colonel and a Lieutenant-Colonel.

The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived last night,
and those of Monday this forenoon.
The domestic news they contain is of no interest.

Some further d et ails respecting Spain, Portugal, and
Naples, will be found under these respective heads.
An article from. Berlin, of September .5, says—" The
process of the QUEEN Of ENGLAND causes here, as
through all Germany, great sensation. In all public
places nothing else is talked of. The men admire the
manly eloquence of her faithful and courageous de-
fender, Mr. BROUGHAM, and drink to his honour and
to that of his august Client in the best wines of Ger-
many. As to our Ladies, this remarkable process
reminds them of the famous poem of Schiller, the
Merite des Femmes. They pity, in anticipation, the
fate of the famous Non mi ricordo, who stammers,
and is troubled when obliged to answer the pressing
questions of BROUGHAM.
" There are strong parties for and against the
QUEEN. It is said, that at a moment when it will be
least expected, the procedure will be stopped ; it is
also said, that an Ally of the reigning House will in-
terpose its mediation for to effect a reconciliation be-
tween the two august Personage's ; and again it is
said, that all reconciliation is imFoslible.
" Since the commencement of the depositions of
the witnesses before the House of Lords, people are

more occupied here with this process than with the
events of Naples and Sicily."
The Emperor ALEXANDER arrived at Warsaw on
the 27th of August.
The Emperor and Empress of AUSTRIA set out for
the Camp of Pesth on tl:e 3d of September, but the
manoeuvres were not to begin till the 17th.

PORTUGAL
r.tats, SEPTEMBER 17..
" A private letter from Madrid confirms the news
already received, that the City of Lisbon has not ac-
ceded to the Revolution of Oporto, and that the pro-
mise made by the Junta, of convoking itself the
Cortes of the Kingdom, maintains order and tran-
quillity. But another letter, dated Badajoz, .sth of
September, states, that the whole part of Portugal
adjacent to that place, had adopted the Revolution
and that salutes of artillery, fired in sign of rejoicing,
had been heard for three days along the whole of
that frontier."

46 PROVIDENCE watches over Portugal. At the
moment when the rebels of Oporto wished to esta-
blish a new Government, an aviso arrived from the
Brazils, conveying to the Regency at Lisbon orders
from the King to convoke the ancient Cortes of Por-
tugal, then the legitimate power will do what rebel-
lion wished to do."—Gazette de France.

,g A letter from Lisbon, dated the 6th inst. was
received at Bayonne on the 10th : at that period, the
6th, the capital remained entirely unconnected with
the revolt at Oporto."—Journal des Debats.

SPAIN.

" MADRID, SEPTEMBER 7.

" We have only to say one word on what passed
on Sunday last at the Prince's Theatre. The people
did not take any part in the scandalous affair, and
they must not be confounded with a handful-of im-
prudent men, who would feign take the name of the
people to give greater weight to their•foolish ideas.

" ORDER OF TILE MINISTER OF WAR, ADDRESSED
TO THE GOVERNOR OF MApRID.

' The King is informed of what passed last night at the Prince's
Theatre, and of the reports which have been circulated within
these few days, in order to excite all the solicitude of the Cones
in the sitting of this morning. His Majesty commands you to
watch with care, and to take all proper measures for maintaining
order and constitutional principles among the troops, and to con-
sult with the Political Chief in all that relates tpgosorl enter and
tranquillity among the citizens. •

46 The Aides-de-camp of General Riego have writ-
ten a letter to the Editor of the Miscellanea, stating,
that they alone had sung at the Theatre the couplets
which produced such troublesome scenes ; that their
General had taken no part in them, and that the im-
prudence, if it was one, ought to be pardoned on ac-
count of the motive and the frankness with which
they had made confession.

« The Journal of the Patriotic Confederation of
Malaga gives the following news, extracted from a
Porto Rico letter of the 13th June :

General Morillo was to have been poisoned at a
splendid banquet, to'which the principal Authorities
of the city of Valencia had invited him. Warned in
time, he arrested the greater part of the guilty ; 23
have been hung, and others are sought after.'
" General Riego departed yesterday, the 6th, as
did also the Governor Vel4sco, and the other indivi-
duals exiled on the sth. This has occasioned much
tumult ; since yesterday all the troops have been
under arms, and several pieces of cannon are planted
on all the public places."

a PARIS, SEPT. 17.

a We have received, by an extraordinary courier,
news from Madrid to the 10th inst. All was very
tranquil in that Capital.
a On the Bth of September there was read to the
Cortes, the Report of the Section of Legislation on
the Spanish Refugees who are in foreign countries.
Before making this Report, the Commission had se-
veral conferences with Ministers on the fate of these
Spaniards, and their opinion is, that they should be
restored to the possession of all their properties which
had been sequestrated, and to all the rights of Spa-
nish citizens. The next day, the 9th, was fixed for
the discussion of this Report.

4, Count Torreno had been named, on the 9th,
President of the Cortes. This is • the third renewal
since their installation."

" MADRID,

" The tranquillity of this capital has not been seri-
ously interrupted. The Government is powerful in
its means : it is supported by the unshaken will of the
King, by public opinion, and by the calm and digni-
fied spirit which animates the Cortes. That assembly,'
truly national, is composed of wise and moderate
men, devoted to their King and country, and conse-
quently strangers to all the little passions which rally
under the fatal denominations of party, of coteries, of
casts, or of clubs. The Government reckons on the
support of the Cortes, as the Cortes rely on the loy-
alty and firmness of the Government. The delibera-
tions of that National Senate chew the spirit with
which it is animated. The garrison of Madrid wes
only called out on the late occasion as a measure of
precaution. These brave men justified, in the most
noble manner, the confidence of the Government.—
Their devotedness adds to the physical and moral
force of the State.

" It is true, that the scenes which took place on the
evening of the 3d, at the Theatre del Principe, catised
some alarm. The pit demanded the air " Traga la,
perm." This song, oompctsed at Cadiz in ISI3, con-

.
tams the most outrageous allusions to the Nobles in.
terested in supporting the former order of things.--
On this account the demand of the pit was oppose.'
by the Political Chiefs. But it was precisely on flis
occasion that the General of Brigade, Don Jose Mt-
ria Tcrrejcs, Commandant of the Regiment of Fer-
dinand VII. in garrison'at Madrid, displayed a cha-
racter above all praise. This young man, scarcely
twenty-eight years old, and who had groaned for the
last three years in the dungeons of the Inquisition at
Valencia, imposed silence on the multitude, whom
he harangued, telling them they must pass over his
body before they could reach the Political Chief who
was the object of their resentment.
General Riego is confined at Oviedo; he has no
employment, and no destination. He is reproached
not only with having written, but with having printed
a letter to his comrades of the Isla, that he had dons
his ohm' oat to treat with the Government. We shall not
say what his sentiments are, but we must do justice
to the conduct which he displayed when he was con-
vinced that that conduct was displeasing to Govern-
ment. Far from demanding a guard, as has been
said, he hastened to obey, and proceeded on his des-
tination. Some of his companions were sent away
with him. We are assured, that when the army of
Andalusia is disbanded, General O'Donoju will be
promoted to the War Department.
cg The contagion which has broken out at Xeres
de la Frontera will contribute to hasten the dissolu-
tion of that army, the existence of which is less useful
in present circumstances. Nothing shews more the
confidence inspired by Government than the number
of persons who wish to participate in the new loan of
two. hundred millions of rials.

" The King has sanctioned the Decree relative to
the extinction of the Jesuits, and the re-establishment
of the Chapter of St. Isidor.
" We hear from Corunna, that the funeral oration
of General Porlier has 'been pronounced in the Ca-
thedral of that city, the Galicians listening with a
lively. interest to the recital of the actions of the first
martyr of. liberty."

NAPLES.

VIENNA, SEPTEMBER C.

The Chancellary of Foreign Affairs continues to
expedite a great number of couriers to Warsaw, Ber.
lin, and Milan. There is a talk of a dispatch from
London, of suasienportance, that it gave ti::e to the
holding of a Cabinet Council extraordinary.

It is still asserted, that the Russian Minister at our
Court, Count Golophin, has refused to visa the pass-
, port of Prince Cimitae San Severino, who wished to
proceed to Warsaw as Ambassador from the King
of Naples-to the Emperor of Russia.
According. to the last letters fsong Upper Italy,
the Austrian troops were assembled, -part upon the
Adige, and part between the .Adige and the Brent!,
where they are placed in catitonnients. It is stated
that Prince Jablonowsky, the Austrian Minister at
Naples, has been recalled, and that he has quitted
that city, with all the persons attached to his Lega-
tion. The Prince proceeds to Vienna, but his Lega-
tion remains provisionally at Rome.

By the Ariel, arrived at Liverpool, accounts have
been received from Jamaica of the Ist August. Thu
Viceroy and Constituted Authorities of Carthagena,
finding that it would be imprudent to continue in
that place, from the small number of men which
composed the garrison, abandoned it, and had
reached Jamaica, leaving the fortress in the hands
of only a few Spanish soldiers, who would aband.)..
it on the approach of the Patriots, who were un-
derstood to have advanced within a few leagues est
the place. It was reported at Kingston the latter
end of July, that Porto Bello had surrendered to the
forces of the Independents, but the rumour was net
credited. The Irish Legion, which made a pad.
pitate return from Rio de la Hache, had sailed from
Jamaica for Halifax.

We have received Bombay Papers to the middle
of March. The Hon. MOUNTSTUART ELPHINWFONE,
Governor of the Presidency, had proceeded to Guze-
rat, and appointed his Excellency Lieutenant-General
the Hon. Sir C. CoLviu.s to conduct the Adminis-
tration of the Presidency during his absence. The
following are extracts
I 14 BOMBAY, MARCII 11.—We are informed that the
!accounts from Sir W. G. KEIJI'S force, dated the .sth
of February, state that the objects of the expedition
on the Arabian side of the Gulf have been fully at-
tained, by the entire demolition of the piratical ports,
and the capture and destruction of the whole of their
boats, excepting those employed in the fisheries, which
are too small to be capable of being employed for
any predatory purpose. The manner in which the
destruction of the numerous works has been effected,
is spoken of by the Commanding Officer in terms
reflecting the highest credit on the engineers an 4
troops employed for that purpose.
.4 At the date of the last dispatch, the defences of
the deserted town of El Hump' were standing, but it
was the intention of Sir V. G. KEIR to demoli,h
them, upon his return to that neighbourbooJ,
and thus complete the destruction of every tower
on the .coast from Rumps to Aboo Heyle, except-
ing those occupied by our troops in Basel Kliyula
and its vicinity. Accounts from this latter place,
;we are happy to learn, mention the improving state
of the garrison; and that the defences of the fort
had been so far strengthened, that it was considered
as in a state of perfect security. Captain Txtostrsos,
the Arabic interpreter, was to be left in command."
