permitted to be ptinted, since the entrance of the Austrian
Army into Naples. The following extract U from that
paper of the 12th of May.
64 In extraordinary eases of danger to a state, eittraor-
dinary measures are necessary ; it is then fit that the laws
should, as it were, lie dormant, in order to reasseme
their primitive vigour in happier times. We might
bring forward in support of this argument, several ex-
amples from the best European Governments, did not
the fact appear self-evident to the most shallow under-
standing.
" Rulers in such a case should forget all private affec-
tions—all natural inclinations to kindness; what is vir-
tue in a private individual, becomes a heinous offence in
him who is at the bead of public affairs. Men of ordinary
capacities, confounding these two characters, form an
unfair judgment of men in power. Augustus appeared
cruel in the beginning of his reign, vet to him was Rome
indebted for her happiness; and whilst his heart seemed
insensible to the appeals of pity, he past the night in
anguish by the side of his consort, from the necessity of
punishing the most formidable of conspirators.
" A high personage returns amongst us, an object but
too frequently exposed to the vicissitudes of fortune, but
one whom Europe always considered Jaetent et teaacem
propositi virum nom driest ardor pram Mentions,
mime await eolith,. His heart shrinks from every kind
of rigour, but the Statesman lives for society, which
exacts at his hands the most painful sacrifices."
The Madrid papers which arrived last night to the
213th ult. contains the following articles
MADRID, May 26.—The catastrophe of Vienna has
not frightened the forgers of proclamations, for others
are in circulation more absurd, if possible, than those of
that unfortunate individual. We have one before us
dated the month of April, the second year of our cap-
tivity, which is a compound of folly and wickedness,
which can have issued only from a head quite turned by
fanaticism.

The Circular sent on the 3.1 by the Minister of Orace
and Justice to the Prelates of the kingdom, begins al-
ready to produce an excellent effect. The Bishop of
Malaga published o■ the 15th a pastoral letter, in which
we find none of the studied and artful circumlocutions,
by which writings of this kind generally elude the exe-
cution of superior orders, while affecting to observe
them. The Bishop of 51alaga does not act thus : for
he says, his clergy in public and private, in general and
in particular, instruct all in the duty of contributing
each his share to the observance of the Constitution,
and obedience to the Magistrates.
MAnatn, MAT 27.—The fortes continued to discuss
the various Articles of the Law on the Army and on the
Land Tax.

NOrELDO, MAT 22.—Our indefatigable militia man,
Novarro, having taken two of the best friends of Jaime
Alfonso, this banditto has sworn that he will murder
all the sons and inhabitants of this city who may fall
into his hands. Several families who were going to take
the baths at Archena and Fortuna, have desisted from
their journey, and were all in the greatest conster-
nation."
BANCELONA, MAT 1 B.—The captain wt bh Majesty's
ship El Ouerrero has written to the Captain of this
Port the following nate, dated Port Mahon, the 15th
Instant:
Su-1 send yon the annexed dispatch, requesting
you to forward it to Court as soon as possible, in order
to inform his Majesty, that the Algerine Corsairs are
dismantled in their dock, and that the Dey has declared
to the Rear-Admiral of the Dutch squadron, which has
just anchored in this port on its return from Algiers,
that he should not commit any hostility against the
other Powers, unless they should first molest his flag."
The present recess of Parliament, and the prospect
of its speedy prorogation, naturally lead as to look
back to the expectations that were entertained of it at
the commencement of the Session, and to consider
bow far these expectations have been fulfilled. Re-
specting such motions as related to a Reform in Par-
liament, or to an inquiry into the transactions at Man-
chester, or to any other subject that involved the
leading principles of the existing system of adminis-
tration, neither we, nor any of our readers, were
so sanguine as to suppose that they would meet with
the success to which they were entitled. We indulged
in no stronger hope, so far as immediate benefit was im-
plied, in the repeated attempts of Mr. Waits and other
friendsof public economy to effect retrenchment in the ea-

lions branches of national ea penditure ; but, reflecting on
the confessed embarrassment of the national finances,
and on the notorious distresses of the manufacturing
and agricultural classes, on whom the Exchequer must
depend for its supplies, we certainly did expect that
some effectual means would have been proposed by
Ministers themselves, for relieving the avowed deprea.
lion and infusing some activity and vigour into those
important branches of the body politic. To satisfy the
clamours of the merchants, the mannfactursrs, and
the farmers, Committees were appointed at an early
period of the Session, to enquire into the grounds of
their complaints; and long Reports, we learn, are pre-
paring 'or prepared upon the several subjects ; but
here the business rests. Not a single remedy is sug-
gested, not a single measure introduced, to alleviate
distresses too glaring to be denied ; and Parliament is
about to be prorogued, and leave the sufferers, as it
found them, to the exercise of patience, and tbe con-
templation of the favourable influences of accident and
time.

The Gazette of to-morrow will contain Ms Majesty's
Proclamation, announcing, that the splendid ceremony
of the Coronation will take place on Thursday, the
19th of July. The Proclamation is already printed
