"Wi;hfhe view of giving further encour-
ssement TO the industry of our subjects who
work in cotton and silk and wishing to favour
tbe cultivation of the vine in the southern pro-
vinces OF the empire, as well rs the distillation
ofliquors from grapes and other fruits, we
have thought fitto raise the duties of consump-
lion which are collected in the interior, ON
these articles. We have, besides, resolved on
amoderate augmentation OF the tax on sugar
and coiiee.

State Of Europe az the House Of Lords.
TrneMarquis of Londonderry having moved
HAT the House do resolve itself into Com
mittee of Supply, Mr. C.. Hutchinson called
the attention of the House to the present stu
alton of Europe. The Ministers of this gov
eminent, notwithstanding their declaration of
neutrality, had not been backward in shelving
that their feelings were against the cause OF
the Neapolltans. Naples was now completely
under the Austrian yoke, and so was the king
dom of Sardinia. AT the same time a body
of Russians were rushing from their woods
to assist Austria in her farther enterprises
Greece was in state of disturbance, and
Spain so much alarmed for her own safety as
tobe obliged TO proclaim military law. 1t was
flfan
bilious viewsof Russia and Austria from talk
ing effect. The security of England herself,
rs well as the independence and peace of
Europe depended upon such timely interfe-
renee. The object ofthe allied despots was
nothing less than the destruction of civil !iber-
~ incyery part of Europ. They would at
tempt it in Spain and Portugal ; and Ministers
would not do their duty, if, on the march Of
the first Austrian and Russian army towards
Spain they did not declare open war against
those powers. He would maintain that we
ought TO declare war against France, if she
permitted the allied troops to pass through
her territories. The first movement OF Rus
sa for such an object ought to be followed on
our part by the sending Of large fleet 20 the
Baltic, and blocking up every one of the Rus
sian ports. He would have England enter in
90 an alliance offensive and defensive with
Spain, for if we did not take decided positi-
on now, we might wish i'm vain to do so when
our wish would not avail us. Hefelt satisfied
that Europe was not safe in its present state,
and he should therefore move, as an amend
ment, that the House should resolve itself into
z committee to consider the state OF the ma
lion as far as regarded European politics. Sir
Robert Wilson seconded the motion. The
Marquis of Londonderry declared that all the
political advice contained in the Hon. movers
speech was thrown away upon him. There
was at present no evidence ofthe fact OF the
advance of Russian army. He never could
dignity by the word liberty the attempts OF
a military body TO resist their lawful sovereign
He would repeat the declaration he had
made on a former occasion, that if Austria and
Rnssil were to manifest any inclination of ag-
Srandi@lng themselves at the expense of Eu-
rope, he would be the first to propose the in
reference of this country. The amendment
was neSaived without "A division. In some
subsequent conversation on the same subject
the Marquis of Londonderry said he would as
seTt, without reserve. that the movement OF
The Russian troops had no reference whatever
10 SPAN. The events IN Piedmont were OF
sufficient Importance in themselves to call for
me interference of Russia.
The King of Naples was at Rome on e5th
April.
Private letters received at I.eels e8th April

Guided between Austria and the government of
Naples, according to which only $4,000 men
are to remain IN the kingdom General Fri
mont is said to have proposed the reduction,
deeming greater force unnecessary.
