PRIV ATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Madrid . Feb. 25.
Although the inconvenienees which are inseparable
from a reform that substitutes freedom from slavery,
moderation for rioletree. still continue to be i...% in the
Pesinsula, the country is generally tranquil, and
should the Ministers of Ferdinand have wisdom enough
to take adventure of their position, there is no doubt
of Spain soon recovering all that strength and rigour
so necessary for the consolidation of her newly acquired
freedom.
The preparatory meetings of the Cortes commenced
on the 20th. On the Ist of March the general assem-
binge and opening will tike place, when 1 shall again
witness the glorious ceremony which we saw together
on the 9th of last July, repeated. The papers will
have informed you of the King's indisposition; it is now
remoted, but he does not appear so frequently iss public
as formerly. A considerable ponies of the body
guard are still prisoners, and about 70 of them have
bean delivered over to the civil power for trial. lihe
will most probably be set at liberty by a row
Whoa of the Code*.
The President made an excellent speech at the

I leave no doubt but that the Session will be one of
great difficulty ; the pols are filled with deliniptents of ,
variant descriptions, and more particularly of those'
deluded. wretches who bare been la away by the priest-
hood to oppose the new order (*things. As yet no ex-
ample -has been wade, and until justice be done, it is in
vain to hope for the conspiracies to cease.
The whole of thteommercial System is also in want of
'biiinediate* revision; the prohibiting regulations have
operated most injuriously, so that nothing but the utmost
i blindness and obstiturcy can intervene to prevent a to.
phal of the laws so hastily and inconsiderately made at
s have beeo, to regard the
ortal enemies. Lord Castle-

reagli's circular has served to inspire a little wore coon-
.dence. though there are not persons wanting, who say
that Hagfish as well as French sold has been employed
to foment the conspiracies! The Declaration of the
Holy Alliance, assembled at La bath, appeared in the
Official Oasette two days ago: this is of course a subject
of general conversation at Madrid, and there is no lon2er
a doubt entertained, that if Naples falls, Spain will be
attacked in her turn. The best politicians here say, that
the day on which the Allies march against the Peinnsuls,
will be one of the Most fortunate it has experienced for
many years!

lIXTRACT OP A PRIVATZ LIATTIM 71101 E NAPIAIS, DAVID
ren.l3.
When I wrote my last few hasty lines, I was misin-
formed as to the exact day she Parliament here would
meet, In take into consideration the important news
which it was well known had arrived in Naples, respect-
ing the proceedings at Laybach. The Regent, that is,
the old lung's eldest son, went this moning to open the
Parliament, which was, as you may suppose, uncommon-
ly crowded, not only by the natives but also by foreign-
ers, amongst which were many English ladies, as well as
gentleinen. The Regent, in his speech, directed his
Ministers to lay bofore Parliament all and every docu-
ment relative to the proceedings of Congress, to dissem-
ble nothing, to speak the truth and the whole truth, and
in a very animated manner concluded by expressing his
reliance upon I arliament, to take snch steps as to insure
the liberty and happiness of his sublets, which were in-
separalsb:t.rom his own, and that whatever, under the
threatening aspect of affairs, might be the fate of
time nation, on whose courage a;!.1 unanimity be
depended, he was resolved to shed the last
drop of his blood in the defence of his coun-
try. The King, or rather Regent, having retired,
amidst shouts of applause, which were continued and
utmintetruptemi till be arrived at the Palace, the official
notes from the Ministers of the High Allied Powers
were then read. Austria, Prussia, and Russia inskt
upon the restitution of things as they were previous to
the Constitution, and a guarantee, for the accomplish-
ment a this refines,. demand that all the principal
fortresses in the kingdom shall be garrisoned by Aus-
trian troops, aN tranquillity he restored to the kingdom.
The Members could scarcely bear to hear this dictatorial
language with decocum—these powers stated they were
resolute, nor did they mince the matter; fur they said
—" an army is already marching to your frontiers,
which troops, if received as friends, shall be paid for
and istaiotaifted at the expense of time High Allied ewers;
hut if any the least resistance be offered them, military
contributions shall he raised upon the ialrahitants to
defray the whole' expenses of the war. The note
front the blini.ter of France was very equivocal ;
it stated she would do all she could to mediate be-
tween the parties, and that if hostilities were mama-
teem* moaned to, She won declare herself,
further, from which it is inferred, she will declare
herself againt Naples. The note from tha n
British
!Meister was next read, which stated, i plain
terms, that England was determined to preserve the
strictest neutrality. Shouts of Viva gli loglese now
filled the House, which aith sires In pork, riser la li-
berts, el visa is Constitesioni, continued some time.—
To conclude—a Committee was appointed to take their
documents into consideration, and report to time House
the day after to-morrow. War must, of course, be
the inevitable consequenre, and the people here seem
all unanimous and resolute, .11 the troops are marched
to the frontiers, the guards go to-morrow, and the Re-
gent, himself, in the course of the week. As I said be-
fuse, vessels are already despatched to fetch the trooas
from Sicily ; beside this regniar army, which with time
militia are said to amount to 250,001.1 men, all the pea-
sants in the rovinces are armed, and if words are to be
believed ate determitied to conquer or die. It appears,
from what fell from the Duc de Hallo, who went to the
Congress, which be reached after many
sc
difficulties
thrown in his way re.pecting pass ports , E. by
all the States under the Austrian dominion, that
time old king, Ferdinand, alto is a Iris mow-
rais st•jet, betrayed the country; for notwithatand-
lug his oath to defend the Constution, be confessed he
did nut approve it, and that the revolution was brought
about by a small party of Verbonati—this was what the
Sovereigns wastes!, and the Due de Hallo, who at last
obtained an interview, found all representation vain, and
that they had not only resolved arm war, but already
given orders for the Austrians to march. Yesterday
rutting a new piece was got up at the Theatre, called
Love of Costatry, at which time Regent and all the
Royal Fanmily were present—the reception of the Re-
gent was most flattering ; for ten minutes nothing but
rims, Etc. were to be hearth, and the entisuaiasnt of a
most erorcded and respectable audience was greater than
any thing I ever witnessed any where: The advanced
guard of the Austrians is said to be at Sienna and I
suppose is about three weeks they will reach time fron-
tiers. They will certainly meet with a different recep-
tion to what they expect, although it is questioned whe-
ther the Neapolitans can prevent their marchingto Naples.
It win be a Hemline wat, and I fear a very bloody one.
Bonaparte, with all his tyranny, never committed such
an act of despotism, as this declaration of tile Holy Alli-
ance. Clod has furnished man with the means of
resist-
ing such oppression, and I past the Neapolitans will
*hew the world what a country bolted and atruggling
fur liberty can do. The old King, it is now tl eeeee glit,
will be recalled by the Parliament. to make his appear-
attee here within a certain time (which it is well kuuwo
he dues not intend to comply with), and in
case of re-
friaahhe will be dethroned, and the now. Regent reign
in his stead.
Naples itself was never so quiet, and there is no such a
thing as two patties—all petty mlifferencesare forgotten.
and the greatest unanimity prevail.. Besides th
flue.ere is
a guard of 15,000 compoie of the shopkeepers, et
the place, whoop sole business is to preserve the tram
guiltily of the town, and iu a Council if War it has
been declared, these troops shall make so resistants--.
indeed it is impossible that Naples should make any re-
sistance, there Wm no fortifications. All the rest of
Calabria, except within time immediate vicinity of this
town, is mountainoto, and 1 am pervaded. if the entre-
giesof time country be well directed, and their spirit
good, they will be abl.e to make an effectual resistance.
Thus, as England is neuter, the city of Naples will
Rot be the tbr.stre of war ; one Ausbaneador and Comsat
remain here, and many English travellers too.
A eirereepoadesit, whose letter appeared is our. paper
ef yestufday, adds auother to the number of appeals
already made to the nation, relative to the n ty of
calling public medlar to express our syme3i7 and
Leader out support to the.people of Naples. While we

which breaks the spirit and cramp' the energies or
this once happy country, we perfectly agree with ski,

to rouse public attention to tliks momentous question;
and we again rail upon the virtuous and patriotic not
to confine their efforts in fat one of onr Neapolitan
brethren to were words. it is true,. a writer in no
Tines of yesterday, sees mut- reason to hope that the
people of Naples will triumph. however much we ae.,
mire the motives which dictated the article in Ism
tion, is it not calculated to dimisish that seal and able
exertions which England is bound to manifest ea this
occasion ? We have also some buoveledge of the suet
of the country. Its resources and means of detente,
great as they are, and all-powerful as the voice of liberty
may be in nerving the wrms of a people, we cannot ter
a moment lose sight of thole itinutnerable causes of it,.

These and various other considerations for which"
want spare, 'bottle* us to guard. the public loom
being too sanguine as to the result of the present
test. Nay,.e. e boldly assert, that without soraistkieg
more than the good wishes and sterile prayers of
Europe, there is but too much reason to sppniteu,
the cause of human nature will be retarded on the bib

There was a time when tits patriot: of Wesuninsr*:
took a pride in leading the way to the rest of the
Empire ; they were not indifferent spectators of the
partition of Poland; and had that great and good man,
CHARLES Jams Fox, lived to witness the present
league of Kings against their people, we have no
hesitation in saving, that his irresistible eloquence
would have, 'ere this, been heard in the Abruzzi, and
animated the soldiers of freedom to crush their invaders.

in the House of Commons last night a variety
jects were brought forward which excited no sima de.
tree of animated discussson, hut on which the length of
the details, together with the other interesting articles
which occupy our columns preclude the admission of
comment. The intended motions, of the Cusweatiantof
the FAXVIIEQVER relative to Cash payments was pat.
plied to Monday se'nnight. The sketrh, however, of
the changes that have taken place in the gold coiasgeof
England which we promised yesterday, we take oceans'
to insert to day ; though fur the reasons previously as-
slimed, we most defer the remarks we intended. Tie
sketch, 'in the mean titne, will, to an attentive cu-
tler, sufficiently illustrate the points at which we
aimed. It will wee to show conspicuously the
arintrary and capricious manner, in which the Atm
tions have hens introduced by Ministers into the wok*
and nominal value of the tiol.l mins of the couatn.
and the embarrassments that result have consequer4
ensued in the interchange of yummy and the iota•
courses of trade. When such coalition has been yrs-
&iced in former times, can the public now submit to
sanction any change in the standard of value ?
