FOI€EIGN INTELLLIGENCS.

This morning arrived Paris papers, from which we

give the following extracts :••-•
PARIS, MARCII 25.-1 n the Journal of the Upper '
Rhine of the 20th of March, we find an article which
appears to explain the Neapolitan plan of campaign. It
is as follows
The Neapolitan troops which occupied the defies
of Rieti and Terni, so well known for the ditlis ulties of
the ground, and which had pushed corps forward to
Magliano, Otricoli, tlesi, Term, and Pesaro, have fallen
back beyond their own frontiers, without striking a
blow. it appears, that they have retreated as tar as
Aquila, and probably they will retire behind their de-
fensive line, which extends from Pescara to Terracina
and ninth."
The Savoyards and Piedmontese, residing in Paris on
furlough, have been called upon to rejoin their colours.
They are eager to obey the summons, and are going off
by detachments.
"The Npanish constitution was proclaimed it Nice on
the kith, as it has been in all the other towns of Pied-
mont.
The King, Victor Emmanuel, arrived at Nice on the
lath of the present month. On his way from Turin to
Nice he received unequivocal testimonies of the afro?.
tion of his subjects. He was expected at Marseilles en
the I:i4th, and preparations were making in that pro-
vince for his reception. We are assured that hr is
touting to Paris.
Our reader must have remarked, that after the first
affairs which took place from the jth to the 12th, be-
tween the Austrians and the Neapolitans, Heneral Fri-
',tont left souse divisions to occupy Aquila and all the
Tietiziihostring sountry, anti moved his head-quarters to
Frascati, in order to be ready to direct the movements
of the columns destined to march on Naples by the side
of the Abruzzi. It is probable that the first news will
bring an account of some military affair in the direction
of San Germano and Fundi, where the corps of Cara*.
toss and Ambrosio are stationed. According to pri-
vate letters front Naples, it appears that on the nth there
was still no certainty respecting the departure of the
'Prince Regent for the head-quarters. At that period all
business was suspended at Naples, payments had ceased,
and the Bank was very backward in fulfilling its engage.
tuents.—(Growth de Fraser.)
M. David has been returned for the department of La
Vendee. The other candidate was lieneral Sapinaud.
Magnificent fetes are preparing for the baptism of the
puke of Bordeaux, which is to take place in Easter
week.
M. Benin the responsible editor of the Juarard des
Deter t', has been sentenced to one month's; imprisonment
and 200 francs fine, for contravening the law, which
subjects the journals to the previous examination of the
commission of censorship.
The Mario di Boma uf the 10th contains the Imilt•tin
of the affair of Itieti, but much more in detail than it
was given by the Mika Gazette. The numerous pri-
soners, however annenneed by the Mifon Gq.;:cter are
reduced by the Diaru to :a According to the same
journal General Fri iiiiii reckoned greatly on the effect
of King Ferdinand's proclamation. He did not wish to
co 1111 l truce hostilities soon, in order to give time to the
Neapolitans to k • the intentions of the King. But
he soon discovered, with sorrow, says the Roman
journal, that the rebels would listen to nothing, but
would persist ilk their sentiments.
It is reported that the nuke of Henos, on arriving at
Turin on the ISth, refused to assume any other dignity
than that of Regent, wishing to govern in the name of
Victor E annel.
lienerai Morillo is now at Paris, whence, after a short
sass', he will proceed to Madrid.

F•ANRVORT, MAnt it 20.—The Piedmontese revolu-
tion has oceasioned here, and particularly on the Ex-
elia-ge, a sensastion which it would be ;litho:lt to de-
scribe. All the Austrian funds have experienced a de-
pr; ssion. We have no recent accounts from the Neapo-
litan and Austrian armies.
Bernina llourgaud left this two days ago, fir Paris,
having received permission for that purpose from his
overmaent.

EXTRACTS IROM PRIVATE LETTERS.

:NEVA, MARCH 'lo.—Letters from Florence an-
tUM a that a general action has taken place between
t e Austrians and Neapolitans, in which the former
have been completely beaten. The same letters add, that
Frits tttt st was on the point of being made prisoner, and
slid not effect escape but with extreme difficult•. Our
own correspondent in that city writes, that the Govern-
ment were receiving courier after courier from head-
quarters; and that the Grand Duke, on opening the
last despatch, exclaimed " What a misfortune ? what
butchery !" Since then, he adds, the news of the de-
feat has ceased to be mentioned, but that the silence
preserved by the government speaks volumes. Another
letter s.eaks in these terins:—Pepe has made a new
attack ; the contest WAS extren.ely long and bloody,
when Carascosa hronght np his whole division, having
wills him the young fluke of Nola, eldest son of the I
Prince Regent, and decided the battle, after having
rut off, and rompelled to lac down their arms, a
corps of 7,00 Austrians, with all their artillery and
bJggage.
Paulo, %ern 25.-1 t six o'clock yesterday morn-
ing a courier passed through this city with news fur
England. We understand it to be in substance, that
the Austrians have been beaten by the Neapolitans
near Rome ; that no less than 31111 waolons had been
seen full of wounde.l ; tbat the Anstrians had retreat-
ed ; and that Tolooia, the banker at Rome, had re•
fused to advance money to Frimont, who had applied
to him for the pecuniary means of moving his army.
PARI9, Maacn 23.—A Courier from Italy has ar-
rived this morning, and brings the following intern—

pace :
A letter from Rome, dated the 10th, says, that the
Austrian Quartermaster Ueneral had returned to Rome,
aad that a loan had been raised there for the Austrians;
also that a palace was preparing there for the recep-
tion of the old King, who was expected to arrive, ac-
companied by the English Ueneral Church, who was
to raise a Neapolitan Royalist army. The same letter
states, that there hail been an affair between the Au'.
trtan and Neapolitan flotilla, in which the Austrians
were beaten, and lest 59 vessels laden with provisions
aid auintunition.
It is said, in a letter from Marseilles, dated the 17th,
that the Austrians have been repulsed, and have aban-
doned Ihr idea of advancing further. A letter from
Milan states that the Viceroy has sent the Tre.isury
chests to Mantas.
At five o'clock to day the news of the insurrection
at Urenoble was circulated. On the 20th of March
the tri-coloured cockade was worn, and the Constitu-
hos of 1791 proclaimed. The Uovernment Announces
that new every thing is trenqail, which tiobody be-
lieves, as they had the news by telegraph two days be
fare, aid did not publish it until they were compelled
by the arrival of the courier from thence. Liens&

Maurice Mathieu, who cotnmands themilitary divisiot
there, received orders to proceed to his post without
loss of time, and departed yesterday, which also proves
that the affair is not at an end.

GENOA, MARCII I. (EveNisa)—An Psteffete is 1111';
rived from Turin, continuing the news of the Spanish
Constitution having been declared ; and a proclamation
will be issued here this evening, anemitncing the King's
acceptance of that Constitution, tozether with his snbse-
iittent resignation, and the appointment of the Prince of
Carignana as Ite,rent. By the Tuscan nail, which is
just arrived, we understand there are letters stating that
the troops and people of Florence have declared fur the
Spanish Constitution. We have not time to ascertain
the truth of this information, as the post is this in-
stant leaving Genoa.
-

MILAN, MARCh 14--The Vice-regal Court has quitted
this city for Mantua, under the apprehension, as is sup-
posed, of a visit from the Pieihnontese. The military
stores and baggage, it is expected, will quickly follow.
I dare not be explicit on the state of things Isere ; but I
fear that political changes of a very serious nature are
near at hand.

FRESH REPoRTS FROM PARIS OF NEAPO.
LITAN DISASTERS, AND FRESH EVIDENCE
FRO Y.l LAYBACII OF THE APPREHENSION OF
THE IR /11" ALLIES.
Just as our paper was going to press, an Express
arrived in town frum Paris. By this we learn that a
strong- report was prevalent on the Exchange at five
o'clock in the afternoon of Monday, that the Anstrians
were actually in the occupation of Naples. This re
port we naturally must look upon with considerable sus.
piciun ; there is every appearance of its being a tiew.k.

The French Funds have been materially affected
already. They have risen to 771. 20 c., they were at
one period of the day as high a; 77 f. 5(1 cents.:
and this difference shows a great degv.e of doubt
in the minds of the speculators. The conduct
of the Allies is such as to prove that they do not think
themselves very secure, for they are stated to be prepar-
ing to angtrient their military prepaeatiows, and wake
new levies with all pos4bie haste.
The fallow int; intelligence is contained in the Paris
papers of the Nth Inst.:---

" LivnArtt, MAIM, 15.

" The news of the late events in Piedmont arrived
here by an extraordinary courier. Far from changing
the plans concetted among the Allied Sovereign., it
has only served to confirm the resolutions which they
bare taken, and to fortify the measures which they
had ordained, in order to save the social order of Fit-

r..pe from the dangers which menaced it. The two
Emperors had a conference of some hours after
which their Majesties gave audience to several foreign
Ministers. Conriets ►►'ere immediately despatched ;
and it is known that the orders given were to form
immediately a new Austrian army of 711,1)110 men in
Lombardy, independently of the expeditionary army
of Naples, and the Austrian garrisons which at this
moment occupy the whole of the Lombardo-V►netian
territory. .%t the same time, a Russian army of
100,0110 men, which bad already been directed to
hold itself in readiness to march, will receive orders
to enter the hereditary states, and to approach the
theatre of war.

" The revolution which has just taken place at Tu-
rin, and the details of which have been transmitted to
Congress by an able hand, throws great light upon
the political questions which has for so long a time en-
gaged the different Cabinets of Europe, in laying
open the authors, the object, and the effect of that
catastrophe. In fact, it appears from documents ar-
rived here respecting the conspiracy of Piedmont, that
it has been, like the conspiracy of Madrid and Naples,
arranged by a foreign faction :
"That it has been executed at Turin, as at Naples,
by a handful of rebels, against the wish of the people,
and in spite of the indignation of the great majority
of the nation and army.
" But that the instigators, the plans, the springs,
the resources, and almost 311 the threads of that vast
conspiracy are now known with the utmost exactness :
and as it entered into the combinations of the conspi-
rators to produce explosions in countries which ap-
peared the least susceptible of them, and to strike at
tiovernments which thought themselves the most se-
cure from their enterprises, it is scarcely possible to
think that any state can continue an indifferent spec-
tator at the struggle which is about to commence be-
tween legitimate monarchy and rebellion : between a
sage liberty, and the license of military despotism.
If the crime which has been perpetrated at Turin
were to remain unpunished, iu the midst of the po-
lished nations of Europe, all the ties which bind people
to their Sovereigns, and nations to each other, would
be broken ; and civilisation would soon sink under
the strokes of internal seditious sad foreign wars."

In the Ibiuse of Lords last night, Lord FLLr,-
nouocou moved for an address to the KING, praying
his MAJESTY to interpose his mediation between the
contending parties in Italy. The Earl of ABERDEEN
opposed the motion as premature, and it :vas negatived
without a division. In the House of Commons, Lord
J. MABEL!, took occasion to explain the objects of a
motion, of which lie hail previously given notice, rela-
tive to a Reform of Parliament. The House then
went into a Committee on the Catholic Hill, when Mr.
PEEL and Mr. Wit-Lysol:us: moved their promised
amendments, for Roman Catholics front the
offices of Prire Connrilhors anoi Judgoss, and front that
of (inventors of Colu.:irs. Theool• amendments were
both negatived : the former by A tioaj,otity ut IV, and
the latter by a majority of 43.

Whatever may prove the result of the present
contest between An4tria and N We,. to suppose that
the Hole Alliance can Hurt- pat down the spirit of comti-
tational freedom, were suenething moire than a libel un

*be human race; fur it were to suppose those creatures to
possess an indolence over the human mind far supe-
rior to that which we have over the brutes. Sooner
or later, and ne rather think, very ?won, ILc ratetite-
lion must be pivelniate.l Ars( ig and it I's Mt iO. j
-s--Limited Monarchy
.is a desirable thing : and the 1
maxim that " a King can du no wrong,- is,
properly applied to the Flogli;11 Sovereign, who.
in general, can do no le•.:11 act without his !
Ministers. Ilut olesrtism is an almse of the
name of Monarchy ; and th men called the I
Allied Sovereigns are roule.:voring to est oblish an I
open, insoient despotism. History film: sloes two no-
We examples of the principle t!..tt a Kivu may he
lori.ught to trial ; though we sincerely regret that in
those instances the principle was enforced. ViosaLus
of England perhaps was a well meaner ; and Locus of
France was probably a fool as well as a coward. It there-
fore was cruel to put them to death ; especially as
their conviction established the precedent ; the case, as
Lawyers term it. that a KING may be legally brought
to trial by his subjects. Rut the most satisfactory
precedent is that which is furnished us by the Revu•
lution of I : a perimlof history which ought to be
impressed particularly Vll9ll the MilaN rung turn.
It is properly called " Too F. 61.011101.11 REVULU tills."
It is by virtue of that Revolotion that 6touse IV.
now sits upon the throne ; and if that revolution were
illegal, he would have no more right to the English
Throne than lie has to that oil Ile would be
neither more nor less than an asurper. 11 rr pleasing
then must it be to rei!ect, that this revolution is so
established by the laws, that it is of qua' force with the
laws whirls bind us to our present Sovereign, and him
to us ! Long may the Ilrunsovicks enjoy the Throne ;
fur they acquired it by the best of titles—a peuplre.
choice.

A low, hors 11.eover, is a German prow, contains
the following paragraph :—" it is said that both
Cliatnbers of our States will in a few Jars be farther
prorovied. The reasons of this prorogation are not
rightly known to the public ; but it is believed that
the very important 'object of the exceptions, whirl.
still remains unsettled, Is the cause of it."
A letter from an English Gentlemen at Florence,
dated the 10th instant, lys—.4 You will s •arcelv
learn the truth of what is passing between the Neapo-
litan and Austrian armies; but you note depend ..n it
that the latter have suffered greatly, from the affairs
of posts have taken place, both in the number
of men killed and in the number of deserters. The
I King of Naples, with a small retinue, is just arrived in
this place, where we understand he is to remain.
Letters from Genoa contain copies of the spi.iteil
Proclamation at Turin, which was the first cause of the

The freedom of the city of Bath was, on Saturday
last, presented to Captain Parry, at the Guildhall of
that city, in a box of oak, which firmed a part of the
mast of the Hecla ; in the centre of the top of the
box is aline oval medallion in gold, beautifully chased
in bas relief, representing the vessel, towed by boats,
I passing immense icebergs, with a distant view of the
Griper. The medallion is surrounded by a rich oak-
leaf border, snrmoonteil by a nasal crown. On tha
! inside of the cover, is a meat and appropriate inscrip-
tion.
Astronomy has always bees the most interesting of
human pursuits; yet its most striking features wool
nesse rendered completely popular, till the recent
publication of Tile Wonders of the Heeeeqs. Besides
the most copious text, describing every celestial ob-
ject, :be Work contains 46 engravings; many of them
of large site, and all of superior execution. Thus
the drawing of the moon is the resell et thirteen
years' observations with powerful telescopes, and this
engraving goat thirty guineas ; and the Solar system
was engraved by Lowry on steel, at • much greater
cost.
