The greatest tranquillity prevails among the Milo.
nest, is well as throughout Lombardy, where
°Pinions are united in favour of Austria,: this, how.
ever, krises solely from the hope of seeing the king.
dom of Italy re-established, and the Iron Crown
. placed on the head of Francis 11. The Nobles of
Italy are 'insularly favourable to this project.
1 The marriage of the Prince Royal of Wirtemberg
with the Duchess of Oldenburgh, will be celebrated
at St:. Petersburgk and not at Vienna,

Vienna that they will consent to abolish 'the Slaw-
' Trade in five years.

the public intention and the vigilance of the police.
The day before .yesterday the Grand Chamberlain,
the Cbunt Rodoiph de Urbna, returning after dinner,
found his casket bad been plundered. Besides. some
rouleans of gold, and 8000 florins in paper, Leon.. •

searches of the police have been ineffectual: snap!.

Rome, JAN. 29.—The Neapolitan troops have not
yet penetrated into our ciity ; but they keep it, as it
'were, in' a Otte of badcade, and the interrupted
Icommunicatrons with the kingdom of Naples are be- '
come very difcelt. There are 25,000 men about
[Rome. We bre assured- that there are-in the num•
t ber some Austrian battalions ; however, we cannot
' Cbafirm this, as we can see only Neapolitaa bivouacs
• from our well. Patroles of lancers hare had the an.
I dacity to ride even to the gales of the city.: they
were open, and we are without defence. Nothing -
was mote easy than to give ns the finishing blow a
brat such is the veneration inspired by the capital of '
the Christian world, that it seems that a Prince who .
respects nothing else, trembles to place within it a
sacrilegious foot. Nothing is more noble and in-
teresting than the conduct of the Holy Father ; he
appears to wait in the middle of his sacred college the
, destiny which these new scourges of the church shall -
I reserve for him.

Austria does not appear to have attended to our
complaints.
It is remarked that for some days the Austrian
Envoy has ceased to communicate with the Cardinal
i Secretary of State.
NAPLES, JAN. 28.—1 t appears that our Court
wished to make reprisals with regard to the Court
of Rome, and to avenge the insults offered to our
Consul General : but the police has thrown an air
'of pleasantry over the business. Eight days ago,
, three persons of a religious order, calling themselves
Missionaries, arrived here. They were, in fact, fur.
nished with authority from the Apostolic Chancery to
!, make collections for the entertainment and restoration
of their order. They exhibited the signatures of the
greatest families in Europe, and of the most illus-
trious prelates, and thus got access to the•first fami-
lies of the kingdom. The: Police conceived that it
saw in them three agents of the Court bf Rome; it
' therefore caused them to be arrested, and made
them undergo several examinations. They 'woke
equally well the Polish, the German, and the ffench.
' At first'they were desirous of giving great eclat to
this affair, when they 'discovered that theie thiee
'priests were in fact three robbers,belonging to thi
association in the valley of the ordeggiana, in the
Appenines: that all their papers were mere forgeries.
They were consigned to the hands of justice, and for
'this time our police has not had occasion to humiliate
, the Holy Father.
'• Nothing announces the departure 'of his Majesty
from Naples : he has been employed, in reviews all
the week. They t stimate our military force at nearly
a hundred thotissuJ men; but this i, an ex ggera•
