I,ATVRDAT EVENENG, PLUM:AZT 17. MI.

The Paris Papers of Wedneulty, which have arrivr
ed this morning., do not announce any movements on
the part of the Austrians. The conferences still con-
tinue at Laybach. As soon as they terminate, the
Duke de liaLLo will he Invited to I,ny'.:aela in order to
receive instructions for conveying the tilh'inattrm to
Naples. There is a vague rumour iu circulation that
the KING of the Two Skilies iw becoming: jealocs of
the conduct of the Unholy' Alliance, that he has ex- •
pressed a &sill to return to Naples, and refused to s

Four liottenhortr wail. hare arrived this horning.
The intelligence they contain is without interest.

In the House of Lords last night. an important de-
bate which was expected on the motion of the Marquis
of Lassoowsz, respecting Foteign Trade, was
vented by the indisposition of the Noble Peer. In
the House of Co:anions a variety of subjects engagta
attention ; and the exertions of that indefitigable mem-
ber, llr. licwr, in his ezrosure of the Ordnance FAH-
mites, cannot fail to be regarded with respect, sad
productive of national benefit. Though Mr. WAND
denied some of Ilse statements of his patriotic oppo-
nent, he took especial care to refine assent to the
motion by which the grounds of the several allega-
tiorts would have been hrmigh, to light: and the
motion was lost by a majority of fourteen. Yes
various instances of extravagance remain nneonfuted,
anti the motives of some of them were sufficiently
made known. In the difrerent Or4lnance establish-
ments, it appeared there were not less than s hun-
dred and forty-seven lu.uses kept in repair at a con-
siderable expense, which were not occupied, hut let, by
the penal)s for whose residence they were intemitd;
and one of the floating magazines at Sheerness was
'manned by a crew consisting of jurats of Queen-
borou eh !!!

The present Sessi in of Parliament it k reported
will be closed so early as the latter end of May.
The King will bold a Levee on Friday next, at his
Palace in Pall-mall.
The queen has appointed Monday week for the re-
wiring of Atlilresaes: aninnest whieb the following
will be presented to her M ijesty on that flay:
The parish of St. George, Gal:over-spare—Ross--
Voited Friendly Societies—Harrington—North Leach
-14.11adbary—Hinckley—Leicester.
It is said that her Majesty is reducing her establish-
meal at Brandenhurgh House, limited as it is. We
believe it is a fact that thtee of the English servants
were discharged on Monday last.
Prior* Leopold, it is said, declined residing in Lai-
worth Coale, though in August last, be entered into
pla negociati n respecting it. Mr. Peel, it appears, has
now taken • , and enters into possession at Lady-day.
Surroilt ox Din N ea.—On Wednesday a numerous
party of the Noblemen and Uentlemen of Suffolk met
at Mary to commensurate the birth of Charles James
Pox. The particulars of the celebration we shall giwe
'on Monday. '
The Workmen are busily employed in Westminster
Mall preparing for the Coronation. On boring some
011 the timbers in the roof, for the purpose of suspend.
ing the chandeliers, they were nnexpectedly found in
such a state of decay as to require being replaced by
'new ones. We had been long afraid that the people
engaged la this business, would bring an. old house
about their ears!

THE SOCIETY OR SECT OF THE CARBOoVARI,
(t. I. COLLIERS.)

It is known that the secret society of Mr Carlotitinti,
which originates! in the Kingdom of Nlpies ahostitllln
or twelve years ago, 4s now extremely thimenoosi,
that those who are initiated in its mysteries are'ervead
over all Italy, and even into some of the neigish.Mt-
ing countries. The following infornatloo.relative edu-
them, has been communicated to us by a literary Yea-
politan, who, himself, is a member of that wet • •
" The Curl oat: are a kind of Masonic SeCitey ;
hut they are also* sect, for the evangelical doctrine is
there used, as it may be said, in support of politi-
cal projects ; which gives them x very rivet influence.
Jcses CuaisT is, with them, a tune, which they tell
in a point of view well adapted to affect the sensibility,
that of a victim of the most cruel tyranny. Fresh
this it results that all classes, the very lerearooi.of
Naples, the country people, as well as the Moisksis
'Parish Priests, Ike. never leave the nit.etings or the
society, without being edified, awl *lll'lo6'oly lendthf-
your to become initiated. '1 he Catbooari give Vie
name of readies (i. e. markets) to these pate meet-
ings. 'flue Charcoal trade furnishes them with the
symbolical terms they use, as the building art floes to
Free-ntasons. the es presaious and forms suiepted is their
lodges.
" The principal °Neat for sv.hich the Cathomtri
meet, is to clear the country of the role's whirl' infest
it; and, by those wolves, they wean tyrants, the
enemies of public liberty. They have various ranks.
anti symbolic signs, among which the cross h pre-
eminent. Wipat they shake bands, they make the
sign of the cross with the thnmb inside the band.
1. At their meetings, every thing savours of-libertw:

;hey receive the tweet'''. of the Oospel in their
five purity. It is worth while to hear the 41;•votee4 of
the sect relate the miraculous conversions which it has
alreatly effected. In Naples, ferocious lisszvroni,
among the mountains of the Calabria, and tltt Abrns•
sox, the most savage banditti, have heen aeon to prac-
tice, as soon as they were initiated, the most brilliant
acts of benevolence and humanity.
•• It is certain that in instituting this secret
there was no other intention than to vise up against

the French, the then masters of all the country, etted
inks the more dangerous us they were secret. Sut
this society so •n became r sect, which now professes
the maxims of the ticspel and of liberty, in oppositiuu
to tyrants of every kind and of every nation."
IWhhateyer the despotic goveronsents of the north of
Euroise may think they have to fear from the Cotto-
n:lris it is certain that of all th► means that may 14

be less efficacious than persecution.

cross. It appeared the prisoner went into the.sbop and •

when the prorecntor's b.ick was turned, to put one in

It appears by an account laid before Parliament of
the total weekly amount of Bank notes and Bank
post.bills in circulation, between the loth of July,
IN2O, and the 6th of February Ib2l, that the follow-
ing were the totals at those respective period :—July
IN f6,043,3'0'.: Feb. 6, 23,563.6bU1., making st.,
diminution of nearly 2.500,000/. the lowest antonnfT
was 20,755, 460!. on the 12th of December last. Thet.is
highest never exceeded that above stated on the 1211.
of July.
It is not generally known, we believe, that In pur-
suance of an Act passed last Session of Parliament, a
Census of the population of Great Britain is to ;be
taken this year, of which the returns are to be de-
livered to the Clerks of the Peace and Townt;krits by
the Ilbth ofJuly. . •
