" Several Journals have stated that the Austrian Oa.
neral Count Neipperg had been assassinated at Parma.
We have received letters from that city which make so
mention of any such event.—(Gazette de France).
" Private letters state that 30,1)00 Austrian troops
(10,000 of whom are Cavalry) have arrived at Maui:

" If the reports disseminated in the political circles
here may be relied on, the Austrians, on their entry into
Naples, offered to the Neapolitans a mixed constitution,
something resembling that of France, and, as an induce-
ment for their acceptance of it, intimated that refusal
would be immediately followed by the advance of a
Russian army also into their territory. The Neapolitans
are said to have acquiesced immediately in this proposi-
tion, and also, anxious to suspend the threatened march
of the Russians, to have sent an express to head-quarters
to declare their obedience. They were informed, how-
ever, that it was too late; the Russians were on the
march, and must proceed.
?' Viity NA, MARCH 24.—Among the propositions which
General Fardella was charged to make, one was that the
Austrians should halt : but this proposition was not lis-
tened to, and General Frimont received orders to conti-
nue his march on Naples.
a lie the beginning of April, twenty-two Austrian
regiment*, under the command of Generals Wittgenstein
and Klabersberge, will arrive in bunbanly. The Ku-
Iliac army of Volhinia has received orders to march in
five days. It consists of 80,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry,
3,000 Cossacks, and 300 cannon. The commanders are
Generals Saken and Jemeloff."

No fresh intelligence has arrived from either Genoa
or Turfb, but some of the accounts from Spain are
not uninteresting.
MADRID, MARCEI 26.—A grand fete was given at
Caere on the 24th, in celebration► of the Anniver-
sary of the entrance of the King into Spain after
his captivity.
The Cortes assembled en the 22d, 24th, and 23th.
On the 22nd some interesting discussions took place
on the project of the special commission of public
safety. In the course of the debate, the pe-
Fay Moms (keno, adverting to Continental
affairs, observed, that Naples ought to be looked
upon as the Constitutional vanguard, Sr:,
as the centre, and Portugal the rear guard, and th..t
if the first were attacked, Spain should be in readiness.
Two thousand Spaniards in Sicily, said he, would
preserve order better than 20,000 Neapol•tans. He
wished therefore to know whether it would not be
convenient to send 2,000 men into Sicily.

An abstract of the produce of the last quarteri Re-
venue has been published, sod it fulfils th 4 wish
which a paradoxical opponent of the extravag•a4 its-
tens was often used to express, " More Taxes, and less
Revenue!" In the amount received, there appear§ a
decrease in the last quarter, compared with the eor-
responding quarter of last year, exceeding the sum of two
hundred and thirty-five thousand pounds. Figures are
passable articles, and results In practical arithmetic are
sometimes very mortifying to visionary calculators.
They are undoubtedly so at present, both to the Quer-
catt.ou of the Exensmus•, and to his mercenary
scribes. But dieresis nothing so easy as the fabrication
of delusive accompts, and therefore the wits of/
the Treasury dependents, whose policy is to disguise
the truth, are set to work on the occasio• to WO-
felted the understandings of the public. It its
alleged that the paynseate of the last malt duty on
the stock in hand in 1819, were not paid up till the
April quarter of 1820, and on that secount the pre.
sent quarter is apparently so much less than the nor
responding quarter of last year. Admitting this to
have been the case, it wiU be found on due examination,

that the Revenue from tuneable articles for the last
quarter, is less than that of the corresponding quar-
ter of the preceding year, by more than a hundred and
sixty thousand pounds. Other evidence might easily
be given of the defalcation, were the docutnents before
our readers in a proper form for reference. But scarcely
any other evidence is reqnisite than what the observa-
tion and experience of our readers can supply. Where•
ever we direct our eyes, except to those who prosper
on their country's ruin, we find proofs of retrenchment
to a sevt,re degree ; and we know that such economy
cannot possibly he exercised without producing its
elect upon such of the taxes as are optional. What
necessity has urged, good policy has long suggested ;
and till a corresponding economy be introduced into
the higher departments of the state, we trust that oar
national Financiers will not find their situations
more easy than the lot of those on whom they
lay their exactions. Economy indeed, they told;
of, and retrenchment they do exercise. But in what
manner are their reductions made? in the petty
savings obtained (ruin the minor departments and the
lower clerics, while the exorbitant salaries of the su-
perior others, the great instruments of patronage and
•unces of corruption are left untouched.

at last enabled us to give some account of the Diana, of
this port. The last we heard of this ship was when she
was spoken with by the Duke of York, to the southward
of the Line, sometime its June last ; she appears to have
been lost in the early part,tof July on the island of Curia
Maria, situated in the Bay of the same name, in let. 17.

von from this ill-fated ship appear to lie Captain Janie.

corps in service in the Persian Gulf, and the gunner, an
Eaglishman of the name of Thomson.. The rock on
which she ran was so steep, that lied it been discovered
at the distance of a ship's length, it is probable stir
might have avoided it, as there are good channels he-
tweets all these islands, of which there are four large and
two or three small ones. The Captain (Williams) and
his officers, Mr. J. Henderson and 6. Oliphant, could
not effect a landing, all were all drowned.

a funeral was brought from the neighbourhood of St..

bear after the appointed time. The attendants were then
kept in waiting lung, and at last, were informed, that
the Rector was tone, and had left an order that no
I other Clergyman should bury the corpse. Another
I Minister was procured, through the kindness of the
Churchwarden, but lie having learnt the Rector's in-
terdiction, declined performing the required office.—
i The Rector was then applied to, and he still persisted
in his interdiction ; and the consequence was, that the
t corpse was obliged to he left in the Church till the
foillowing morning, before it could be iuterred.
