LONDON:
SATURDAY evEmiNn, MARCH 31, 1321.

An express arrived in the City this morning from
Paris, thr►e hours after that alluded to below ; hut it

brings nothing new, except the prices of the French
funds on Thursday. The tire per cents. were then
11. 90c. There had been no other arrivals, nor any
fresh reports on Change up to twelve o'clock to-day,
when every thing was very calm. The Vengeur, which
was supposed to have brought recent advices fro.
Italy, appears to have taken her departure in February.

Since oar last, though our supplies of intelligent
have been neither scanty nor unfrequent, we have not
received a single article relative to Neapolitan affairs,
that possesses an official or authentic form. Advice'
were yesterday received front Turin of the fifth aid
'23th inst., and the substance 4 them eirculasetl, it
was understood, by Government, announcing farther
intelligence from Florence, of which neither the
date nor the source was specified. The intelligence
respecting Naples was to the effect th it General
FCIIDELLA had officially announced to Lis SICILIAN
MAJESTY the closing of the Neapolitan Parlia-
ment, the dissolution of the army, and the submis-
sion of the PIIINCS IiZtIENT to his MAJESTY. With
respect to the state of Piedmont, the accounts
from Turin represented General 1..% roue, who com-
mands in the Novarese, having hoisted a Counter-
revolutionary standard, and the Prince de C4ei.:sallo
as having by Proclamation divested himself of the
Regency, left Turin the same evening, and joined the
Army under General LATOER as a junior Officer. It
was added that the War Minister, under the new sys-
tem, had issued an Order of the Day on the t.itla, stat-
iing that France would take part against Austria,
which immediately received an official contradiction.
This morning furnished us i% ith fresh accounts,
by Express, from Paris, but in time same vague style
as the preceding. The want of an official confirma-
tion of the former important news, after such a lung
and unaccountable interval, has now begun to ex-
cite some wonder in that city, as appears by the fallow.
ing letter :

Parir, March 39.

.• The news from Naples is not altogether disbelieveii
here, on account of the source from u hence it was at
first promulgated ; yet every body is surprised that nu
official accounts have arrived.

" A letter from Genoa, the writer of which professes
to hare heard from Naples up to the 13th, takes uo
notice of the events which are said to have transpired
there on the lath.
" The Exchange of yesterday presented a frightful
prospect for the liquidation ; and many fortunes are
likely to be seriously injured by the great variations
which have taken place since the last account-day. It
is impossible to state exactly afi the prices in the funds
which have been obtained either for actual purchases or
for speculations, which must be considered extremely
hazardous under all the circumstances. One failure of
an agent de Change was declared : it is to be earnestly
hoped it may not be followed by others.
The Paris papers of the 29th afford us the subsequent
articles of intelligence :-

"in the night of the 23th of March the Prince of Ca-
rignano withdrew to Novara, where Warm! Latour
commands. He had previously ordered two regiments

Novara--viz., one from the Prince, and tw., from 00.
nerdLatour, who therein declared himself nominated

" The Prince informs the people of Piedmont that, in

by their Majesties disproves that conjeetute.

are stated to have taken place betdren the Cabinet of

All the fresh additions which the above articles
furnish to our previous stock of information about the
Neapolitan disasters, leave us as much in the dark as
before, respecting the events which led to the import-
ant results described. 11any questions may be very
re.evaatly asked as to the causes of this obscurity ;
but we forbear to press our own remarks into the
li-
mited space we have left, in order to give place to
those of a correspondent much interested in the points
at isrne. Our correspondent introduces them in a
letter to the Editor, of which the following is an
extract:—

—" I could enlarge upon the following observations,
but the facts will speak for themselves.
" 1 have the honour to he, your obedient Servant,
" CAPTAIN ROMEO. a Neapolitan Subject.
" The Austrians have entered Naples ! But how ?
As prisoners, or as Masters ? General Carascosa was de-
feated : hut where? It is not known. But when ? It
is not stated. At what time, from whom, and where,
has been received all the news ? From the Austrian Mi-
nister, at Turin, on the 21st in,t. But the saute Au-
strian Minister was compelled to leave Turin on the
20th. From what quarter, then, did this Minister re-
ceive his communication ? From Naples ! From the
enemies of the Austrians? The Austrian Generals
have not given all the information. General Caras-
cosa was obliged to retrocede at Averse, and there
to spike his guns ! Then he passed through Copes
and GoeM. Had he no dependenc2, iu the protection of
these fortresses? Could be not save the gnus in either of
