nounce any event or remarkable circumstance
10 have occurred since the 9th inst. From
The 9Th 10 HE 10Th, ncws was expected from
Sicily, where it was supposed the recent Rev
olution would have found more numerous par
ssans thanin The Kingdom OF Naples. With
respect to the PROVINCES which were the firs
theatre of the revolution, ii we may credit
letters now before us, IL is easy To perceive
that reflection has succeeded 10 factious and
iransitory enthusiasm. The Neapoli,an PEG
pie remember, with mixture OF regret, that
agriculture and commerce flourished under
the former government, that the finances OF
the state were administered with economy,
and that there existed well grounded hope
Of the dimipution Of the taxes ii is now
0ioubtu whether the benefits which are prom
lsed by the recent Revolution will indemnify
the nation for the positive good which she en-
joyed. These reflections, say our correspon
dents, suffice 10 prbye, that the Nespoltan
people took little part in the Revolution.
We have received Paris papers OF Tuesday
last. II is easy to collect from these, as also
from other Continental Journals. that the pso
pie of Berlin are beginning To manifest serious
uneasiness at the protracted posiponement oil
their long-pronised Constitution. Some pop.
ular disturbances, accompanied by bro'ls be-
tween the people and soldiery, agitaied Ber-
lin during the evening Of the Ilih, and some
subsequent evenings Of his month The COM
mencenent OF the iumui is attributed in the
official, as well as IN private accounts, 10
drunken squsbble between some wofkmen and
the keeper of a tavern, when the latter called
in the assistance Of the military guard, and
caused his antagonists TO be arrested.
The seizure of these neu collected crowd
of their comrades and other persons, who IN
dertook to rescue them. The troops used
their arms 10 drive off the crowd, but were
themselves repulsed. Olher troops came TO
their assistance, hut the people were again VIC
forious. General Taucnzieo. and the Gen.
Commandant Branchseiiel7, found il necessa
nv to bring into aciion the horse genaarnes,
by whom the multitude was at length dlsper
sed. This occurrence took place on the even
ing OF the I1ih. bul Tor soue succeeding eve
nings the people again assembled IN the
streets The public authority, civil aud mil
itafy, adopted the most vigorous measures, 10
prevent renewal Of the ouirages, and II will
be seen in our extracts from the Hamburger
papers, that an order OF police was issued IN
Berlin on the 18Th, 10 prohibit oil meetings in
the streets, even for the most Innocent pur
poses /, j. stated that several persons were
wounded IN tie contest. No doubt, we think,
can be entertained that the spirit winch All
mated the people OF Berlin 10 So very novel
proceeding IN lac Prussan dom,nions as an
attack upon the majesty Of the military power,
is 10 be traced 10 the animaling principle oil
political indept ndence which IS how making
rapid strides through bout the world. The king
OF Prussia has been TOO long amusing his sub
jects with the hopes OF A ir.e constitution. to
fia:,er himself that be can much longer with
hold j, from their enjoyment.
In the mesn tins we fad the King OF Spain
he object OF Tie mcst enthusiastic popularity.
Whenever be- appears among bis people hs
presence is greeted by the vaccinations OF
ihousanes HIS majesty is said 10 leel sens-
bly, he happiness Of he change that has been
effected in his situation. Tbe people OF
Spain mark in every way their enlhosasn
for The constitution, and even every article OF
Fashionable dress now bears the distinctive
appellaIion of La Constitution.
Several eeclss.sct.cs lave been arrested az
Seville, charged with having eDdea,ored 20
excite commotions in that city. Measures OF
precaolion have been adopted there 10y Gen.
O'Donolu, the governor of Andslusia.
Letters from Ncpies say. hat several Gen-
erals connected with the 'nsurrection had re-
signed their commissions in Consequence of
the d,sspprobaiion expressed by The Europe
an Cabinets of the event.
