Naples, Feb. 13.
'ibis day, after a low:: si!ting, in which w.,s heard
the report of the Committee formed the precediog even-
ing to examine the ultioiratpsas I die powers, the
Prince Regent retired trunr the Chamber at entopanied
by the Itetubers of Parliamen!, fool pronounced before
the people assembled, a fcraial declaration of war
AUStriA :Lug! the Coalesced powers. The troops
have received milers to march. General CasAscosA
has taken the scpreme BEGAN! is closely

entrenched in Gaeta. The Neapolitan truurs appear
to have token the resolution of marching to Mue. It
is true that the Ptinee Regent bas eiven his cor.sent
to the Sicilians to adopt rillate‘er Constitution they
choose ; and has, ..t the same time, withdrawn the
11,010 soldiers who %%ere ationt el in Sicily.

had been received from Ilia Janeiro, accounts stating

on such conditions. The question was put to the
vote, and decided that there should Ice a Liberty of
the Press, without any reserve ; but that a tiilmisal
should be created to judge of llelimitteneies. A dis-
cussion then ensued relative to the abolition of the

torture.
BILBOA, Fru. 2:o.—Notwithstoontlieg the decree
suppressing the Monks in Spain, or; yet there has
been no possibility of earryibg it into effect upon any
Convent ; such is the influence of the oeligions .erts.
There is nothing important limn the inferior of
France. Some doubts are entertained at Paris with
regard to the return of Dr.c.sr.o:s. Ile is represented
in the papers as haring been detained in London in
consequence of the sudden il!ness of Isis son, at the
I tuomeat he was about to set out.

FRENcu ECM/b.—Five per cents. Ssf. 45c.

The principles :ind pule yof Lne;i XVIII. and his
31iiii%tur%, may be easily inferred f r eircuiwitances
just announced by the Qmoildif sow, stating that the
individuals of FE N ‘Nn Vll :s body nai's who havr
fled from public justice in Spain, are liki•ly to be WWI*
porated with the garde rv,ryal at Path!

A vessel is arrived off Dartmouth from Surinam,
bound to Attet.terdaue ; sailed on the Ist ult. The
Captain reports that eight day* previous to his sailing
a dreadful lire took place which debtroyed aearty the
whole of the town, and an immense quantity of pro-
duce ; i■ cousequeuce of which the latter was very

_ •
waived, by which it appears, :that the Neapolitan
Patliionent has declared Sicily independent, and even
sent the Deputies that had come from Palermo, bark
there, for the purpose of opening the National Par-
liament. According to another article from the Paris
papers, our fears as to the disturbed state of the
Isiah% are ured.
We shall be in 131 aniions to have the first part of
this news continued, as U will at Once remove all
cause of animosity, and call forth the energies of die
Sicilian people, (as yet but little known in Europe).
When these are thrown into the scale, the friends of
freedom will have nothing to fear from the unhallow-
ed efforts of Austria.
We are aware that those enlightened men, with
whom we wish to think and act on the opposite side
of the Channel, show a great dislike to publishing
any statements calculated to weaken the claims of the
heroic Neapolitans to the admiration of Europe ; but,
such is the importance in our estimation of publicity
in all things cennetted with human rights, that we
should nut have felt ourselves justified in withholding
the declaration, although it should have had a remote
tendency to cast a momentary shade over one of the
most glorious causes that ever grated the annals of
any country. We arc convinced, however, that what-
ever temporary inconvenience might have arisen from
publishing the grievances of Sicily, it furnished the
beast means of bringing about that reconciliation
t which we have every reason to believe bas happily
glare.
We are glad to perceive that Sir RoauT WILSON,
supported by Mr. llototorsy., has given notice of a
motion relative to the note of Sir Wm. A'Coval ; yet,
with all the imperfections of that curious production,
it will perhaps remove the dprelsensiou so generally
entertaimul on the that our Ministers con-
template the disgraceful and dishonourable project of
occupying Sicily.

T he bushier!, hi the house of Conttnons last night,
was of tile highest interest. That which chiefly
occupied the attensioa of the noose, iras a mo-
tion for the appointment of a Committee to in-
quire into the distress of the agricultural interest.
A Committee was act ordingly appointed, but what ge-
neral benefit u ill be the result of its labours, we have
et to learn. Without a general reduction of taxes,
we can form no idea of general relief ; and unless the
bucthen he propo”11 to be shifted from the shoulders
of the farmer. and landowners, to those of the people
at large, the inquiry can only end in allaying the irri-
tation of the ags it ttlturists with the views of an illusion.

Accounts have been received that a Revolution has
been ',Welled at Teneiille, similar to that which has
Litely mien plat e in Portugal and Nlaileira.
It is said that the Queen, in her letter to the Earl
of Liverpool, in which she signified her determination
to m rept the est.:lli,liinetit tJaiited by Parliament,.
414 sired hint to empress to his llajesty her grateful
sense of the us. er in which her name had been
noticed hi the Speech from the Throne, and her regret
that her name was mill withheld from the Liturgy.
Lally Hood went into waiting on her Majesty yes-
terday for three this.
'flue tliteen, in order to evince her high sense of
Lady Anne Hamilton's attachment to her 31ajesty's
person, lets appointed her Mistress of the. Robes, being
the Itighe,t honour which her Majesty can confer upon

her.
It is titolerst•oel that a rommunication has been
received by Lord Maury, from a person holding a high
and confidential situation Omni his Majesty's person,
anttottneittLf it to be the Royal intention to honour
that Nobletnato's beautiful residence with his presence
—in consequestre of which his Lordship was yester-
day or •upirtl in makiug the necessary arrangements
iu the way ot furniture.
It is also stated on; gond anthmity, that a shah-
lar honour is intetoled to the Metsupulitan Palace
at Armagh.
llis Illajesty's sojourn is exported to lead to an
expenditure of not less than five hundred thousand
pounds in the country.
His 31ajesty's stay in Ireland will, it is supposed,l
exceed a month. It is his Majesty's most gracious in-
tention to honour the City of Dublin by his residence
within it, fur a eow-itterable portion of the period to
which his vi: t will extend.
The confident expectation of his Majesty's visit to Ire-
land has already given a perceptible impulse to busi-
ness. That nseful avid itopot taut class of perm's, She
shopkeeper. of DuLliu,are alt cooly sr, slating, we UP-
deroand, and preparing for the arcoluntodation of as
unusual indux of strangers into the Irish metropolis.
Mouse-rent IS reported to be raised a little above the
let el of its depression—indeed, many happy effects
mar be expected to arise ont of the Royal visit, which
at present touches every heart in Ireland with some
%hare of the general hope, pleasure, and anxiety.—

Yesterday the new Tariff was received from Russia,
and we are sorry to say that it is more unfavourable
even than was apprehended. Tlw tiuty on the import
of manufactured sugar is advanced to a rate that will
operate as a 'imbibition. This is the consequence of
our exclusion of Russian coarse linens from the United
Kingdom.

burgh, of the 13ili instant, containing the following
