The King of Naples arrived at Leghorn, in the
night of the 26th, on his way to Lsybaeh. The news
was announced formally to the Parliament. Lieute-
nant-General Don Carlos Filangieri has sent in his re-
signation to the Prince Regent, who has cotumuni-
rated the circnnistance to the Parliament.
The Courts of Turin, Rome, Florence, Modena,
and Lucca, are invited by the Sovereigns to send
Plenipotentiaries to the Congress of Laybach.
It is said the Sovereigns will themselves march at
the head of the troops, should it be necessary to em-
ploy force for the re-establishment of legitimate autho-
rity at Naples.
Some letters from Vienna, contain a vague report,
that Lord Stewart will not go to Lavbacli, and that
he will be provishnally replaced by 31r. Gordon.
Letters of the Mth from Madrid, confirm the news
of the invitation of the Sovereigns to King Ferdinand
to go to Laybach. The permanent Deputation was
convened extraordinarily on the 4th, very late in the
evening. '1 hr general opinion is, that they will not
permit their monarch to leave the kingdom.

Charlstown papers arrived this morning to the 13,1
of December, seven 'lays later than the preceding
arrivals. From them we give the following ex-

tracts :---

HOUSE OF REPRF.SENTATIVES, DEC. 6;
in TY ON FRENCH TONNAGE.

IV. NE‘‘ TON, front the Committee of t'ommeree, rc-
ported the folluning bill :
Sect. I. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives, that the provisions of the Act entitled
an Act to impose a new Tonnage Duty, on French Ships;
and Vessels, passed the 15tli of Ilav, 1'!O, shall not!
extend to, or operate upon any Freni h ship or vessel
that shall have entered into any port within the juris- ,
diction of the United States, plot. to the 30th of Sep- t
temher, 11.20.
Sect. 2. And be it further enacted, that the Secretary
of the Treasury, after deducting a tonnage duty equal
to that paid by every French chip or vessel which entered
the ports within the jurisdiction of the United States,
prior to the passage and operation of the Act entitled.
as Act to impose a new Tonnage Duty on French Ship,'
or vessels, passed 3lay 15, from the Tonnage Ditty col-
lected from French ships and vessels, by virtue of the
above recited Act, between the first clay of July, MO,
and the 30th day of September folios; ing, be, and is
truly authorised and directed to pa and refund the re.,
minder of such Tonnage Duty, free from cost and
charge, to any person or persons who shall have as-
thority to receive the same.
The Spanish frigate La Constitutimi, with upwards
of three millions andahalLof dollvokusecieA gttyl
Deputies to the General Cortes, from the liaca
and the province of Cautpeachy, has sailed from
Ha-
vanuah to Spain.

The week ensuing is anticipated as a period of In-
tense anxiety and extraordinary bustle. On Mosby
the metropolis in every part is expected to be in mo-
tion, from the numerous multitudes who are prepar-
ing to present that day their respective Addresses to
the QUEEN. On Tuesday the west end of the ton tt will
he reanimated, front the meeting of Parliament, and the
attendance of his MAJESTY in person to open the Ses-
sion with a speech from the throne. On Wednesday the
city will exhibit no small sensation from the assem-
blage of merchants, bankers, and traders, which
will be collected at the Mansion !louse, to •indi-
cate the insulted independence of their character,
and to combine their respect for the rights and
interests of the country, with their duty to the
King. From the general feeling which these occasions
will excite, connected with their important objects,
more than usual speculation and activity prevail. At
such a crisis, it is the right and duty of English-
men to feel and act like men who have their greatest
interests at stake ; but while it is becoming them tol
think and speak with energy and frtedom, it ic
no less proper for them to beware that
their good be not evil spo(cn of In the move-
ments of multitudes inspired with ardent objects, and
exposed to the irritation of opposing parties, and
the machinations of designing men, it behoves them
especially to guard against occasions that may afford
apology for the inroads of violence under the pre-
tence of law. The peace and order that have hitherto
attended the steps of the friends of the Quxass will,
we doubt not, entitle them again on Monday, to
the respect and admiration of the nation at large; and,
on Tuesday, ne trust, afford as just a theme of praise
on the passage of his MAJESTY to the House of Lords.
In such trying times u these it becomes the people to
be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the Foreign
Office at half-past two o'clock, which sat till half-past
four.
• Correspondent observes, that though the 18th of
May has been stated as the day of the Coronation,
after the 19th had been mentioned, it is probable that,
after all, the day preceding may be the time ap-
pointed !! I The 17th of May, it must be remarked, is
the birth-day of her Majesty Queen Caroline.
Information from Lima, received at Buenos Ayses,
reaches down to the 15th of September. :t was con-
firmed that Lord Cochrane and San Martin had affect-
ed a landing at Pisco, but nothing farther was known
of their proceedings. The American brig, Warrior
had been detained by Lord Cochrane, but for what
purpose, or under what pretence, we are not informed.
His Majesty'ship Hyperion, had sailed for Valparaiso
on the 3d September, for Lima and Putouts, to protect
