On the 23d March, the people laid hold of
the Governor by force, and dragged him IN
to The city, but they saved bis life, and put
him into prison, in order, they said to be
adjudged by council ofwar. On the ssd

people, thing never seen before in any re-
vouticn in Genoa-but the wounded and
killed were confined altogether among the
soldierY and themselves, and good order
was established again IL lew days.
A considerable sensation was caused IN

formidable kind.

his flight, carrying with him goo, 900 Nea-

The Lyons Journal OF the 99th, says &C

prince regent has returned to Turin. at the
head Of the troops commanded by gen. La

Alessandria. Ii is AIDED. that the wishes
of the nation are to recall Victor Emanuel to
his capital.
The House OF Lords had not taken up the
Catholic bill on the 9Th April.
The sudden and disastrous termination
of the Neapolitan revolution was as unex-
pected in Great Britain and other parts
of Europe, as it was in this country. Only
two days before the intelligence of the
treaty between the Austrian and Neapo-
Titan troops was received in London, the
Journals of that capital generally con
tanned the most favorable reports of va
rious advantages gained by the army of
Naples. The friends of liberty were de-
lighted at the prospect, and sanguine as
to the final result In the Austrian me-
tropoiis, and throughout Germany, also,
the partizans of the holy alliance had be-
gun to believe that the war would contin-
ue some time, and that it's issue was much
more doubtful than they at first anticipa-
ted. The imperial and royal members of
the congress of Laybach had themselves
become SO seriously alarmed, that a large
additional Austrian army was ordered to
be raised. and Russian force of one
hundred thousand troops was to be sent
to reinforce the enemies of Naples. |
1t is not therefore surprising that the A
merican people should have been so great
ly deceived in their anticipations, and so
much astonisLed and depressed by the ia
tai catastrophe of the contest in which
Naples had engaged with apparent spirit
and determination. In truth, this direful
event was beyond all human calculations;
and is to this moment perfectly inexplica-
ble The latest intelligence does not af-
ford sufficient light to enable us to per-
ceive its real causes. Something is still
wanting, which the next arrival from Eu-
rope may furnish, to explain why it was,
that without battle, without single eff
fort worthy of remark, people and an
army: who but the day before appeared
to be all enthusiasm, all alive to the de-
fence of their country and the mainte-
nance of its liberties and independence
should, by one instantaneous and univer-
sal impulse as it were, surrender their
best hopes, their persons, their property.
their civil rights, their national existence
itself, into the hands of foreign enemies
and memorable tyrants. Frank. Gaz.
