persons capable of exercising the funt.tions of Ministers.
The tortes deliberated on this proosal, and declared

In the sitting of the Cortes on the 4th, 31. Romen
Alpuente expressed a wish to be informed ht• the Miui•
ter for Foreign Affairs, ghat had lwroine of the 110 i:
Alliance, if it existed ? w hat %Vali its object, or, at Iraq;,
its intentions as regarded Spain. and what engagement,

it had made with other nations with respect to tem-
ing the Kingdom of Naples at peace ? how it wasdir
posed towards Portugal, relatively to the political sys-
tem of that country, and to the manner in which it
had been treated by its King, by England, and by the
other Powers ?

The Deputy Quiroga addressed the fortes apes
framing an answer to the King's speech. Count

so much of his Majesty's speech as had been signed

no notice of that which had been added by his 3lsjesty.

The news we yesterday communicated respecting.
the revolt of the army of Piedmont appears to hare
received confirmation by another express. As instances
of the credit which the intelligence obtains, we guy
refer to the English as ti ell as to the French funds
On the Stock Exchange, we learn, there was, this
morning, a general gloom ; and one of the sellers was
a great BO!, and not a Jew. We wait with great
anxiety the arrival of the next mail, and doubt au
we shall have to state the spread of the caw
tagion among the Italian States. It will, laced,

oppression and pillage. As to the general spirit at
Turin and throughout Piedmont, we may safely cal-
culate on its speedy developenient. Our private cor-
respondent ut Paris, informed us several days ago.
that there was a strung party both amongst the people
and the military, extremely desirous of bringing shoot
a change in the policy of Victor Emanuel, and that if
I he persisted in his present courses, they would Dot he-
sitate to appeal to his brother, the Prince of Carig-
, nana, who is brother-in-law to the Prince Vicar-
ieneral of Naples, whose patrotic sentiments are
Gat orahle to freedom. We shall nut therefore be sur-
prised to find the account of his arrest eurlinneJ. Hut
it is some consolation to reflect that, neither this
I Prince's imprisonment nor the second declaration
from Laybach, will retard the 'Latch of principle is

We congratulate the friends of Civil and Religion
Liberty on the progress of the Catholic Bill. The
second reading of it passed last night by a majority of
251 apinst 213. It is gratifying to perceive the
gradual obliteration of those illiberal distinctions
which arise among members of the same community
front their differences of speculative sentiment. It is
these odious distinetions which foment the animosity
that prevails .between contending sects ; and it is that
animosity, thus reciprocally cherished, that chiefly *in-
stitutes the danger which they severally dread fru" dis
prevalence of each other's opinions. In the Visited
States of America, where no Christian, whatever be his
profession, is excluded from leublic (Alice on account
of his faith, and where the Stale exercises towards her
c Milken no improper partiality in honors,or renolutnesr.
the meiubers of the various sects associate in peace awl
harmony; for worldly jealousy respecting their se
rat pretensions, is utterly unknown. In prapnitioll as
the State takes an interest in a Sect, that Sect most
feel an interest foreign to its original chartner :
if any thing connected with the measure non in pro-
gress could awaken in n. anv alarm, it refill he the de-
sign betrayed in Parliament by a Centle:tian holding a
public office, to seize oceasiOn ftoni the merlin' Is
subsidize the Catholic priesthood. Mr. Pi.evitcvT,
indeed, deprecated such an attempt, at the pres-ta
time. We wish he had firmly resisted it, prospect:J-0Y
and altogether. Tho.e who are acqulinted pith the
influence of a paltry sum, called the it,!sities
among the Dissenter's Ministers of Eno.land and Ire-
land, well know its iucorsisteucy with a spirit of 1:•-
