Lord CA',TLEREAGH wired the Hone, that if

wttlila he p reeived growing around him. He entreated
the Reese : I eimaiidar whit had Ines tibia situation of

the data, • !!r of the Government had seen run down
bAaune it delayed bringing forward some system of
more exte-sire taxation, which should restore the
faith ails- country and give support to the money
operations and during the lett two years no leas than
three prop isitions had been made for repealing taxes.
So, that atter having solemnly resolved that it was ne-
cessary to sustain the public crerlitor with a Sinking
Pond of five millions, when no one c4uld lay his hand
upon his heart and say that their Sinking Fund was
worth more than two millions, they were proposing to
?Veda !tom their resolutions ; and instead of consider-
ing how they shonld make up the other three millions,
they were trying how they should ~et rid of the two

views of the lion. Gentleman opposite (31r. Wilber-

unfair. if he were inchned to remit any tax, he cer-

House not to allow its enlarged views of the state of

false argutuents which hail been advanced that evening.

STOCK EXCHANGE, ON O'CLOCK.

The Funds have been rather more steady to-tlay

than thew:were yestt Mac, will' the exception of a little
panic at the openint; of the ►narke. Consols fur the
Account were then done at 69i, though some say 691,
st hich is not a fact ; and have since been 701 to 1,
%Wat are non :shoot the prices. lhere have been no
reports this ounroing, though some say the Ministers
king in the minority last night roust occasion things
to be worse.

This ntorninq nrCoed the regnlar French Mail with
Paris Papers to the 29th. Some were brought last
by exit aordinary conyeyauce.
PARIS. MARCII 19.--Conimercial Couriers, arrived
Losn Naples, bting news of the hill and 7th of March.
Th.. must perfect tranquillity prevails in the Capital,
and in the whole 1:i1,, (lons, notiritlsstandirrz the de-
parture of the troop, for the frontiers. Naples, with
the exception of thy forts, is protected by the inks-
-I.ltants, formed into .1 civic gourd. Tills corps, corn-
-1""11 of the flower of the citizen.; of that city, is dis-
ti.:2ltished by its line appearance, its exactness in the
performance of its duty, and its attachment to the dy-
nasty of the llourhou‘, and to the Constitutional lio-
n .rnment. It had designed to march to the frontiers,
to make the campaie,n with the army, but the Parlikment

ituuld not consent to the departure of a corps so neces-
sary• to the preservation of order and tranquillity. The
civic gnard evnsi►ts of 16,000 men, divided into four
regiments of infantry, and two of cavalry. The Gen-
dartuerie, also a civic corps, composed of the flower of
the army, consists of 5,000 foot, and 2,000 horse,—
This corps also offered to join the army, but the Go-
vernment declined, assuring the Commander that his
brave soldiers should he employed in case of need.—
The many demands of this nature chew the spirit that
animate• o hole Neapolitan people.
The Prince Regent has set out fur the army, accom-
panied by Lieut.-Gen. Parises and the Duke of Ascoli,
Prince 1"p01.1 of Salerno. His Royal Highness's
brother has followed the Prince Regent.

The l'itolmontese Gardic of the 10th says, that by
acrour.!‘ from Mei of the Ist, 24,000 troop. were
camped round that town. They were to penetrate
from l'ivita Uncale into the Abrussos. General tel.
mont vas in that town. All the corps of the army
had made t movement to join each other, and wily
waited for the orders of the Oeneral in Chief to pass
the frontiers. Two days rest had been snisient for the
troops, who were in the best condition.
Workout accounts have been spokes of at Change,
olse of which states, that a Courier bass arrived from
Nayenee, bringing information. of Woo rettlatinsary
treables in that city.

What was mid of the mirth of the Prince of Carig-

It is reported that at Turin, the Colonel of a regi-

a Lieutenant stepped out 'of the ranks and shot the
Colonel through the Lead witb.a pistol. it is like-
wise reported that at Venice the Austrian Magistrates

MADRID, MARCH 3.—The 1./averred says, and
justly, that the choke of the new Ministers is very
wise. It therefore is clear, that the Ministers are
good, and consequently, there are good Ministers to
be found to replace those who have been dismissed.—
Aml, if it should be one day necessary to riplace t 11,:
new ones, let us not doubt but ab'•: men will be found
to surceed them.

Illtusuns EsTuestsni, 31.sacti 2.--Abuelo con-
tinues io the prison of this city, and though there is
a strong guard of national iiiiiitia, we wish he %sere
removed to a more secure prison ; beeluse the guard
has no arms but a few bad muskets, and a little ani.
munition.

MoNavas', MARCH 1.—.111 this country is in alarm
the melafactors enerease, and their crimes multiply.—
We learn that they yesterday attached the Convent of
Nuns at Santa Fay, and stripped it ..f every thing va-
luable, to the amount of 51100 piastres. If this is
done in the vicinity of a town which, besides its gar-
rison, has a national militia, respectable for its nuns
ber and discipline, what may be the case in other parts,
where this wise and vigorous u►'asure of the Govern-
ment is not yet in activity ?
M • Damn, MAR( a 7.—Time Xiscetbriirq of this day
published the declaration of the Allied Sovereigns, to
which it adds the following retlection.--.. Such is the
celebrated Manifesto, the product of the equally cele-
brated conferences of Troppau and Layb,„eh. We
have no need to refute doctrines so dangerous to the
independence of nations and so favourable to unlimit-
ed power. We will make only one observation, which
seems to us undeniable, and capable of itself to con-
found all them• diplomatic subtleties. If the Princes,
knowing the tendency of the European nations to enjoy
the blessings of liberty, had anticipated their impa-
tience, calming and satisfying it, by a frank and spon-
taneous recognition of the principles which guard the
repose of nations, it is evident that such an act of
legitimate condescensi would have b:•en received
with joy and eratitude t and that in most countries
the people -.could have been satisfied, and renonaced
the pretensions to perfection in the code of public
liberty : but what resource remained to the people
when reduced to be the patrimony of a handful of Yam-
pyres ? They had not left them in their despair even
the wretched relief of complaining. Even allowing
that some excesses were committed in the mode of
effecting revolutions, would nut such momentary ex-
cesses be infinitely excusable, and even lawful when
it is compared with the habitual excesses of oppres-
sion; and where it conspired to the recovery of inalien-
able rights, should the human race be doomed to
groan eternally under the yoke of tyranny ? should
they wait indefinitely till it shall please princes to de-
prive themselves of the power of oppressing, which
must doubtless he very agreeable, since nobody volun-
tarily renounces it
"After having exasperated a nation by humiliations
►nd iasults, it is atrocious and ridiculous to reproach it
by saying that ' Constitutions are made when the
passions are calm, and with deliberation and trail-
qnillity.' It is certainly mach better that they should
be so made ; hut why ever since 1815, when his Sici-
lian Majesty was restored to the throne of his ances-
tors, did he not think of doing with deliberation
and tranquillity,' what the interest of his people re-
quired ? Why slid be not assemble those well inform-
, ed and impartial men, whose opinions he is now wished
to consult ? As long as nations bear the yoke, it
is rendered heavier every day; and when they break
it, they are accused of having rebelled, while those
who accuse them grant that it is necessary to render
the yoke lighter ; and is not this allowing that their
complaints were just ; and being so, not listened to ?
Must not force and precipitation do that which it is
refused to do with prudence and tranquillity ?" kc.—
(Miscellanea, .Verch 8.)

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

MADRID, MAaCH 10.-1 do not think there is any
longer the least cause for the friends of liberty in
England to feel any alarm as to the stability of things
here. With all its defects, the people of Spain are
convinced that their Constitution inserts to them more
freedom than would any other in Europe; and in pro-
portion as its benefits are developing, so do all classes
of the community, except the privileged few. cling to
it as the anchor of safety and hope.
Many thought that the sadden lied unlooked for
change of Ministry which followed the opening of the
Coites, would be productive of serious consatataees.
The stagnadoa of trade has aloes given rise to the re-
cent dlsturbeaec at Barcelona, whirls kw now subeided
into a-perfectaalat. It is et nay little wasewiesee
who we the iliaisters, while tie peeple are Iteerly re-

-O r

presented; let the Cortet but perform their daty, as!
they have hitherto done, aid the Spanish portion of
the lisiropean family, his *wising to fear.
The facts connected with the opening speech on the
lit instant, are shortly as follows.—The Ministers
seeing that FERPINAND did not consult them rel'ative
i preparing his Speech, were elcoediagly chagrined,
aid Auevretx alincect.Les, Miaittier of the Interior,
who composed that of Last year, offered his services
main. The KING ans.:etred that it was already pre-.
pared, and although something was still. wanted, he
wished to submit it to the inspection of his Mifilstcrs.
ASGVILLES having vrail the draft was highly pleased
'with itsAiholt tettour, 'and retired perfectly satisfied.
On the following the, his Majesty iccoMpanied by all
the Royal entered the hall.of Clinics it ten
o'clock, ant mounting the throne, delivered the Speech
with the greases: perspiraity and composure. When
be came to that part of it, whirl; hail been substinent-
ly adde I, there was nothing of acrimony in his mode
of speaking ; be attributed the insults receivel during
the late events, t 4 the weakness of the executive,
pointing out u•reiisity of more The =I•
net in which Fi RI IN %ND evpressvil himself on this,
produce.] a ere It impre,sion on :.is hearers. •
I need not, however, inform you, that the offences

_ .
complained of by the KIN':, have been grossly exa!:.
Cmated, both by the servile party here, and the Ultra-
Royalist Papers of Paris. They were in fact, merely
the result of a conviction on tit,• pert of the people
and national militia that Feat,' :.t•;” is not sin-
' Libre in his attachment to the Constitutional system.
If any political sins can he regarded as seniPtl, surely
they are those which arc committed under such a bulict.
The sittings of fortes have certainly been rather
stormy. Aminst those who have most distiaLgti.hml
themselves, are Count Toot's'', Houton At.or- `.IE
and MOR RN A (WERRA, who is le.oler (tithe opposition,
and a man of no coot ttttttt talents.

It is said there had been a schism fur some time in
the late mitti‘try, Ev.tats-ro, P. de rtio, and .I►ntol
hieing opittp.ed to CANG.I And AVOCSTIN AIIUCELLES.
A number of Petitions are alma to be presented
against the whiffle.

7%c Costrier last ni•glit communicated the contents
of a private letter from Paris, received by Express,
we mentioned in our Secnnd Edition. In that letter
were detailed some particulars of the battle affirmed to
have been fought on the 9th instant ; hut in the course
of the esening w•e received another Express, exciting
doubts respecting the engagement. The Paris papers
that have come to hand this morning, as detailed in
preceding column, make no mention of the af-
fair, except in an article from Inspruck. It will
he observed, Isowe%er, that the intelligence direct from
Rieti comes don o only to the Ist, and that as the Sea-
politan army then assembled round the town, amounted
to
.2.1,000 men, and all the corps tvrre making move-
ments to concentrate their force, it is highly pro-
toble that a serious conflict might be brought on
by the 9th, from the attempts which the Austrians
would be disposed to make to prevent their junction.—
That uoolEcial accounts of the event should have hitherto
arrived is not surprising, when it is considered that the
Austrians are occupying the Country, through which
the Couriers have to pass, amt that they are deeply
interested in preventing the spread of Dews that may
be unfavourable to their cause.

Norfolk Paper, arrived this morning, bu, not of a
later date than those previously received. Ilis Excel-
lency M. Hyde de Nenville, the French Minister, ac-
cording to a Norfolk Paper of the 10th of February,
had arrived from France. The ship Hemming, Itaylve,
which sailed from Norfolk on the ht of December,
bound to Belfast, had put into St. Bartholomew, in
great distress.
The Duke Decases was expected to leave Paris on
Tuesday, on his return to London.
It was last night very confidently rnmourefl that in-i
surrectionary movements had taken place in Hanover'
and Prussia. The report oas circulated in quarters so,
respectable that we cannot let it pass unnoticed.
In cowequence of the Ministers being left in the
minority in the House, and the reports of disturbances
in Prursia and Hanover, much bugtie and confusion
prevailed at the Stock Exchange this morning, at the
opening of the Market. Consols opened at 694, and
fur ten minutes no fixed price could he obtained ; hut
after the storm nag over, a dead calm ensued, and they
recovered their former price to 70. As the arrivals of
the French mails did not bring a confirmation of the
battle in Naples, and the reports of insurrection in
Prussia and Hanover not being believed, the Market
looks more favourable this morning. Some business
has been done on Chance in the French Funds ; they
were sellers at 77, and buyers at 654.
Lt w.+.^-By a letter from the surgeon of the Gen.
San Martin, dated Callao Bay, Dec. 11, we learn that
General San Martin had sent the first division of the
army, tinder the command of General Arenalis, into
the interior of the country, for the purpose of cutting
off supplies from the South, for Lima. hi this lie
had cotnpletely succeeded, es well as in defeating the
enemy in an engagement. That General was by an
order from General San Martin advancing towards
Lima. The reception of the Independents was every
where extremely favourable among the inhabitants,
and one whole regiment bad deserted to them. The
cutting out of Callao the Spanish frigate Esmeralda,
by the boats of the squadron, under the immediate
command of Lord Cochrane, is spoken of as "a most
brave and gallant enterprise, and one which teas sue.
cient to have placed his name, hail he never done any
thing before, among th- first in the age. He who has
seen the batteries, forts, and castles of Callao, can
scarce give credit to the success."
