The intelligence from Italy continues to repre-

pointed to examine the subject of the claims, spoke
five hours, and conceded by saying he had not yet re-
plied to all the olijections to the plan of the law. Minis- I
ten seem to yield the point a good deal those who

Governspet. The discussion was split adjeereed
to Wedeesday.
VIIIIRIA, OCT. 21.—Reports *elk la eirealation
that the Marquis del Gallo, Minister for Forette
Affairs of the kingdom of Naples, had, passed by this
city in the night of the 17th, repairing in all host* to
the Congress. The Minister did not -Wjsh to be
known.

The reclamations of the kingdom of Naples, by
the,Court of Sicily, assume an alarming character for
Ring Joachim. Many persons even think that .the
'stay of the- Neapolitan troops, which occupy the
Marches and Romagna, will net be prolonged, as
those countries will form part of the Indemnities
which will be given to King Murat.
'rho cense of that country is pleaded at this
poment by several excellent writers ; they reclaim
the liberty and independence of Italy. They feel
imitable that It is impossible for the Italians to live
happily under the many uncertainties to which their
are abandoned. • They reckon always upon the
magnanimity of Sovereigns, who ought to have for
their aim the welts'se and repose of the people, and
who should not ba willing.to treat Italy as a pro-
vince that the conquerors should divide.
We expect daily the arrival of Cardinal Oppizoni.

The Emperors of Russia and Austria, and the
King of Prussia, willing to recompense the Russian
General Baron do Tetteaboru for the signal services
which he rendered la the last ranipalgts, have agreed
to grant him a considerable portion of land In the

_ - , • . , ,4
North of Germany. ~
They make, as it appears. at the. Congo*, war
upon the Cabinet of England, as England Matron
Bonaparte. He wished to extend his despotism over
the whole Continent; the Congress is willing to per.
soade England to renounce the supremacy which she
exercises upolf the seas ; but will they be able to Per-
suade her? The Ministers labour more than ever ; '
but the result of their discussions is stilt a secret.
Pumice Talleyrand and Lord Castlereagh have sent;
touriers to their respective Courts for instructions '
upon several important points. The couriers atom-
peeled to return before the end of the month.
Cotton is very dear here, in consequence of tatt-
merous demands which have been made; and it hi
feared it will be still higher, as all the magazines are
exhausted, and there is none to be found at Trieste—
and
on account of the plague which has desolated
Smyrna and the ports in the Levant, there is no hope
of eny arriving before the bad season. They do not
receive much colonial produce at Trieste ;tut the
commerce of the coasts with Italy and the Isles of
Greece is very brisk.
MADRID, OCT. 110.—It has not been forgotten,
that towards the end of June last, the Lieutenant
of the Viceroy of the City of Valencia received au
order, bearing t apparent signature of the Minister
of War, by w h he was ordered to arrest and
shoot the Captai General of the Province, Limit.-
Geo. Elk, withopt any form. The same fraud was
put upon the Authorities of Andalusia, to induce
them to put to death generals O'Donnel and Villa-
vicancto. The prudence of the Chiefs to whichlhoso
orders were addressed, rendered abortin 000400
of the forgers. .
After great exertions have been made to aver
the authors of the crime, Government have to-day
published the result of a proceeding followed with
tory against M. J. de Sevilla, one of the Chiefs of
Division of the War Department, whose writing
appeared similar to those dispatches ordering the
arrest and death of three Commandants of provinces.
, The result is, that' he is perfectly innocent. His
Majesty, acknowledging the injustice of the suspi-
cions which had been raised against him, and re-
establishing him in his situation, has assigned a pen-
sion of 1000 francs to his eldest son. It appears
that the authors of the crime will never be ea-
covered, as many of the 'culprits hue used muck ad-
dress in 4heir combinations..
His Majesty published, en the day of Ms fate, ati
amnesty in favour of all those who are detained in
prison, or absent from the kingdom, for other crimes

sanction of the British Admiral xommanding on the
American coast, in consequence of which, it has been
added, fresh instructions had been sent to the Corn-.

Istory, and would argue most unlogicatly for the ho-

force,,and, *e hope, equally manned. If so, and
, the challeugeshoutd be accepted, we have so confident
I a reliance on' British skill and valour, as to believe
the American Constitution will become English.
• It is impossible to see, without something more
than cqntempt, the efforts made by " the hireling
Press" to blind the eyes of the people to the present
dilution of affairs—the Morning Post, the Morning
Heralci, 'end the Courier, strive most anxiously in a
jitorious rivalry of misconception, while the Times
adds to their falsehoods the charms of the finest
flowers of Billingsgate rhetoric! When it could no
longer be disguised that we had met with a very
!severe reverse on our Canadian frontier, the whole
blame' was thrown upon Sir GEORGE PREVOST, and
that Officer, even before his own statement had ,ar-
tired, his own, ex planation of these melancholy facts,
;was the subject of the most unqualified abuse. No
doubt he has a different tale to tell ; and it would have
beery but fair to have heard it. The reinforcenients he,
received were seat to him by such driblets, that he
bad not sufficient strength to carry into effect the
ardent which it is stated he positively received from
tome, to take possession of the &strict east of Penob-
scot ; particularly as it is well known to every per•
son at all conversant with the Canadian affairs, that
a strong spirit of discontent exists in that country,
