BY this vessel we have received our
regular files of London papers to the
evening of the 28th of February.
The affairs of Naples, and the move
ments of the Austrian forces, are among
the most interesting subjects mentioned
in the papers. The London Courier.
of the eth of February, contains the
Austrian Manifesto, which will be found
in our paper this morning. The Cou-
rier says, it makes out case which
justi6es course pursued under the alli-
ed Sovereigns. Mr.. Wilberforce seems
to entertain different opinion with re-
gard to their conduct. In debate in the
House of Commons, ON the 21st of Feb
ruary, on a motion by Sir James Mack
intosh for the papers referred to in the
Circular of the British government,
Mr.. Wilberforce said, she conceived
the principle of the allied powers to be
odious, unjust and abomiaable To him
it appeared likely that Europe would
be, for some time to come, involved in
trouble, because free constitutions suere
eDery sVhere expected by the people. Such
an expectation naturally called into ac-
ton high and generous spirit which
could not be subdued.o
The Manifesto is certainly zvell-writ-
ten document; but according to our judg-
ment, contains nothing more than
plausible statement of the reasons for
the interference of those powers in the
affairs of an independent nation. The
amount of the reasoning is, what has
been all along considered would prove
to be the fact, that the example of Ma
pies is, in the opinion of their Imperial
and Royal Majesties, dangerous to what
they are pleased TO denominate selegit-
innate governments and therefore
must not be suffered to continue and
spread its contagion. Much, indeed, is
said of the Carbonari, and of the sol
diers; but it is apparent that it is the ex-
ample of the people and of the army,
that the Sovereigns most emphatically |
dread.
That much stress would be laid upon
the interest and activity which the sol
diery has had in the various recent rev.
olutions in the South of Europe, we
have never had doubt. In the answer
of Lord Castlereagh to the above-men-
toned motion Of Sir James Macintosh,
he remarked, that " it was much to be
regretted that the troops had been iRduc-
ed to depart from their allegiance to the
croucn, and that soldiers had asserted their
opinions as to the forms of government
7rhich ought to be established" In the
great revolution of 1888, in England,
the soldiers very generally departed
from their allegiance to James, and unit
ed with William, very much to the sat-
isfactIon of the great body of the ma
ton; and they rendered much aid in the
establishment of the government in the
hands of William and Mary tits, how
ever, not to be wondered at, that Aus
tria, Prussia and Russia, situated as they
are, and forced by circumstances to
maintain large standing armies, even in
time of peace, should stand in fearful
apprehension of the consequences that
might easily follow disposition on the
part of their troops, to assert their opin-
ions as to the form Of government, which
ought to be established Two or three
hundred thousand disciplined troops.
with arms in their hands, might shake
the throne even of the Emperour' of all
the Russias.
1t seems the Duke de Gallo was sent
forward to Naples, to inform the Par
lament of the ultimutum Of the Allied
SOvereigns. He reached that city on
the 9th of Feb. and proceeded iminedi-
ately to the legislative body who were
already assembled. Before he could
: finish reading his instructions, he was
interrupted by loud cries of "War-
war-war,o from every side of the
assembly. 1t is stated that one propo-
sition was, that the Neapelitans should
give up the form of the Spanish con-
stitution, and adopt that of the British,
with notifications This appears to
us so strange an idea, that we can scarce
ly credit it. The British Constitution
has never been reduced to 7vriting at
home, as we have heard, and we think
it would puzzle an Englishman, much
more an Austrian or a Russian, to put it
down in black and qOhite. But if they
had it, they would not knows what to do
with it. 1t is as much as the British ma
