The Austrian Observer states the
following TO be the result of the confer
ences between Mr.. Pinkrey and ths
Neapolitan Government
Mr Pinkney, the American envoy,
after various conferences with the Nea
pUliian government, banded over note
in August last, In which he demanded
that the subjects OF the United States
should be Unidentified by the Neapoli
tan government for their losses in ships
and wares under Mura,'s government.
The reply Of the Neapoiitan govern
ment was refusal founded on this
that no writer on public law had ever
maintained that a lawful sovereign
should be made responsible for the IN
Just acts Of an usurpe: that the UH.t
ed States should have reclaimed against
r. urat that the nation was in no d.
gree responsible for his acts I; that II
besides appeared froEI report by M
Agar, Murat's finance minister, thai
the order for coDfiscating American
ships and wares originated with Bona
parte, who wrote TO the couHCil 10 tha'
effect with his own hand that the pro
duce of the confscations never came
into the public treasury. bu, was spent
by Murat in his extravagant displays OF
Asiatic magnifcence yea, that part
Of it was employed in the expedition 10
Calabria, against the lawful prince.
&" Mr.. PinkUey then addressed a Sc
cond request, in the name of Commo
dOre Cnaunccy, TO thu Neapolitan gov
eminent he asked for depot of stores,
at Messina or Syracuse, Tor TIE wants Of
the American squadron during the " al
with the Barbary States. To this tic
Neapolitan government replied, tha;
the request could not be complied with
while such a privilege was granted to
DO other foreign power that his Sici
liam majesty being at peace with the Bar
barry powers, could moi consent 10 such
permission, but that, il the American
squadron wanted TO purchase supPiics
in Sicily, this would certainly be allow.
ed. MIR. Pinkney replied, that he had
sent the answers TO his own government
which he had no doubt would properly
estimate their contents,
4" The English had no connection
whatever with the above negotiation
and the iGea of asking tor LamPcdoa'
did not SO much as enter the thoughts

On Friday afternoon last in the Dis
trict Court of the United States, Judge
WAsH1NeTow presiding, came on the
trial OF JOHN HAnT, ore of the High
constables of the city Of Philadelphia,
for having twice stopped the United
States Mail Stage, for rot conforming
to the municipal regulations of said ci-
ty..-lst, The Western Mail Stage. for
driving at speed exceeding 6 miles
an hour--and 2dly, the Eastern Mail
Stage, for not having bells attached 10
the horses, when carried upon runners.
The charge of the Judge: we understand
was in favor of the defendant, who was
consequently acquitted by the Jury, on
Saturday afternoon. This decision may
be viewed as settling very important
question in relation 10 the right of local
Authorities to enforce obedience TO their
wholesome regulations, which have
been hitherto in some degree sighted,
by those who considered they were act.
ing under paramount authority.
