to the Parliament by thi fotlowidg message, which has
this day been posted h the streets .
" The events of the war feeder my presewee with the
army necessary. lam about to repair to it, and shall
make frequent journies thither, dividing my time be-
tween the camp and the capital, in order that the various
affairs of the state may not be neglected.
" During my absence my Wild tis tranquil. 1 leave
amidst you all that I hold most dear in the world—my
beloved family. 1 confide in the affection which has
been constantly shown me by the population of Naples,
and in the excellent conduct and seal of the National
Uuard, which has enabled me to render the troops of the
line disposeable for the defence of the country.
`• My confidence in the Neapolitans is unlimited, in
the same manner as I see that theirs in me is equally so.
This reciprocal sentiment will certainly be justified.
(Signed) " FRANCIS, Regent."
NATL.'S, MARC" 7.—The Prince Regent has ap-
pointed for his officers of Ordnance, the Duke of
Casoli, the Prince of Allieno, the Prince of Terri's,
the Marquis Brancacchio, Count Niscetni, and Count
Partanna.

A decree of the Prince Regent orders all land-
holders and farmers, as soon as they see the enemy ad-
vancing, to remove every kihd of provisions and forage
behind the lines of the army. An account will be
taken of their losses.

Our troops occupy Ascoll, under the orders of
Camp-Marshall Verdinosi, and maintain good dis-
cipline, with which the Pontifical Authorities have
expressed their satisfaction.
PARIN Maacu 26.—The King of Sardinia is ex-
pected here. Preparations are making at the Elysee
de Bourbon for his reception. His Majesty's brother,
the Duke de Genevois, has protested against the late
proceedings at Turin.
The several garrisons in Savoy are ordered ap to
Turin.

Baron Bender, the Austrian Ambassador in Pied-
mont, passed Mont-Cenis on the 21st.
.% letter from Turin, dated March 20, states that oa
the 17th a division of artillery msrched for the fron-
tiers. The citadel was to be occupied by the National
Guard.

The Coastitittionnel of Friday contains a remarkable
paragraph, which we snhjoin :
" Some of our readers reproach us for our silence
on the actions between the Austrians and Neapolitans.
Our silence speaks for itself."

The following intelligence is from a private source,
and is accompanied with a caution not to place im-
plicit confidence in the report :
Paris. Tuesday Oct-moos, kali past 2 °Week.
" MILAN, Mmtva 20.—" It is reported that the
Austrians have made themselves toasters of Naples, and
that they entered in consequence of a capitulation with
the President of the tiovernment. It is said that the
latter Is to grant a sort of Constitation as (avowable in
its nature to the Aristocracy, as that of Spain is of a
contrary character."
" It is certain, however, says the writer, that the
Austrian and Russian Ministers were very anxious to
leave Turin, but that the new Sovereivi prevailed upon
them to stay, saying that he was determined to take no
part in the war on either side.
" He then adds, two couriers arc Pat arrived from
Rome, which they left on the 13th. They have
bronght dispatches both to the French and Austrian
governments, to the effect that the Austrians are
every where received with open arms ! that they ex-i
periesee ao resistance either from the people or the
army, which latter not only makes no stand, but dis-
perses in all directions.
" The relates opened at 77f. 50c. They are now 77f.
SOc. This rise is attributed to the report of 'tihe Am-
, strian Ambassador having received an express. an-
nouncing the advance of the Austrian army without
resistance.
" A merchant, who left the Neapolitan headquarters
on the 10th, states, that up to that time not a musket
had been fired.

" Three e'eloek.

" The relates have reached 7Sf• The report conti-
nues that the Austrians are in full advance on Naples
(observe, they are not in Naples), and that the Nrap►o•
Huns retire without 6rinK a shot."

We received this forenoon Lisbon and Madrid
papers, from which we give the following extracts :

In the 2d sectioa is introduced art. 23, which sayer—

" The Constitution must clearly fix the division of the
three powers, the executive, the legislative, and the
judicial. The legislative resides in the Cortes, depend-
ing on the sanction of the King, who is never to have
an absolute Veto, but only a suspensive Veto, accord-
ing to the manner which the Constitution shall deter-
mine. This does not exclude the laws made in the
present Cortes, which shall not be subject to any Veto
whatever. The executive power is in the. King, end
his Ministers acting under his authority. The judi-
cial power is in the Judges.
25. The direct initiative of the laws belongs to the
Cortes alone.
26. The King cannot be present at the deliberations
of the Cortes, but only at the opening and close of the
Session. _ .

29. The Cortes are to name the Regency, when it
is necessary. They alone can approve treaties of
Alliance, subsidy or commerce, allow or refuse the
entrance of foreign troops, fix the value, weight,
standard, and impression of the roin.
30. A permanent junta of. the Cortes shall reside
at the capital.
31. The person of the King is inviolable, but the
Ministers are responsible.
3t. The Cortes six the civil list at the beginning of

Members proposed by the Cortes.
34. The imposition of taxes anal the manner of

3IADKID, MAncat I5.—A Cadiz Journal of the 4th,
c .ntains an extract from a letter of General Sall Mar-
', tin, dated Pisco, October 14, 1 tlO, in which, after
mentioning that the prospect of success is very pro-
mising, be says, " Within live days 1 shall re-embark
the Army to commence its operations in the North.—
(Arenales has proceeded through the Sierra with 1000
men of all terms ; he is to advance upon Naga
and communicate with use by the north. 1 shall ens•
dark with the army in two or three days to attack 'he
north of Lima, from a comtounication with Arenales,
ind raise the provinces of Gawks, Guanaco, and
Combnco, Of the success of which I am convinced.
Sly object is by a general insurrection of the Sierra
to reduce Lima by famine, and oblige Peres's' to a
capitulation, without twglecting at the same time the
augmentation of the army, and the conquest of the
intendency of Truxillo. I tan assure you that this
plan will have the most important results, and if it is
accomplished, as 1 hope, Lima will be ours in three
mouths from this slate.
Cants, M Ascii 6.—The Mario Datliteio announcing
the refusal of the Government of Buenos Ayres, to treat
with the Spanish Commis,ioners, unless the indepen-
dence of the republic were previously recognised, enters
into a long discussion to prove that justice and sound
policy, equally call on Spain to recognise the inde-
pendence to whirls their colonial brethren hare as
each right as the Spaniards themselves.---(Mitcellaneg,

La the House of Commons last night, a curious eon-
venation took place in the early part of the evening.
on the affairs of the Bank of Ireland. It appears that
the paper of that Bank WAS at one period considered
worth duce and a half per cent. more than gold, and
gold having been then sent in large quantities for their
paper, the Rank being unable, under the Restriction
Act, to reissue gold, refused under certain circum•
sttnces, to receive deposits in cash. In the course of
the evening, the Roman Catholic rll was carried
through the Committee. Mr. HETcittstscon opposed

securities imposed on the Catholic Clergy• The third

this country, was yesterday received by Ministers.
