pers, and shipping lists to the 29th of
April, and Liverpool papers Of the lst of
May inclusive.
o. The arrival furnishes us with many
articles in relation to the affairs of Mol
Gavia, Wallachia, Constantinople, &c.
They are of considerable interest, though
very contradictory, Some articles state
that Prince Ypsilanti has set out for the
Danube with only 5000 men and two
pieces of cannon. On the other hand,
some accounts state his force at 5000,
and others at 10000, and well provided.
1t is also said that the Greek islands
and the Morea, have revoted and mas
sacred many of the Turks. 1t appears
certain by intelligence from Lcipsic, St.
Petersburg, and Brandenburgh, that the
Greeks who are scattered over the Con-
tinent, whether as students, merchants,
or in whatever other capacity, are hasti-
ly turning their steps homeward. Ifthis
enthusiasm be really felt, the Porte will
have an arduous struggle to make, be-
fore it can hope to terminate the bust
ness.
AT first, it is said to have been the de-
termination of the Russian and Austrian
courts, to occupy Wailachia and Mol
davia, as they have done Naples, and
thus smother the instruction. But on
more deliberate consideration, they have
come to the resolution of observing a
strict neutrality.
Advices from Italy, are to the middle
of April. In Naples few of the writers
venture to allude to political subjects,
and therefore little light is thrown on the
internal situation of the country. Among
the DEGREES passed by the restored gov
eminent, is one for establishing at Ma
piles, a Provisional Commission, con-
sisting of three magistrates to decide
with expedition upon the innocence or
guilt of the persons arrested under sus-
picion, by the Austrian commanders. |
Baron Frmont, is attached to the COM
mission, as assessor, but he is to have no !
deliberate voice.
Another decree was issued, ordering
all the students in Naples to return
home, and pursue their studies until the
royal university shall be instituted again.
All the heads Of schools of every kind,
were directed to present, within eight
days from date, list of the names of
their pupils, accompanied with an extra
statement of the religious, political, and
moral conduct of each. The pupils who
distinguished themselves by their good
conduct are to have claim to special
protection and muniicence. This step
was taken because the kings paternal
heart, wishing rather to prevent than to
punish error, disposed him to view with |
compassion many youths who have been
seduced by their masters-men who
speculate in revolution, or by reading
modern sediiious books, or finally by the
moral contagion of wicked companions"
1t is said that since the termination of
the Austrian campaign in Naples, the
affairs of Italy have become lively sub
1ect of discussion among the allied pow
ers. Russia and France wish to diminish |
the influence of Austria in Italy.
A paragraph from Vienna, April II,
observes, that the emperors of Austria
and Russia will soon repair to that capt.
tai, and that they will have interviews
with the kings of Prussia, the Low Coun-
tries, Bavaria, and Wirtemburg. The
Congress, it was believed, would be con-
tinued till summer; the consolidation of
the order and repose of Europe in gene
raj, is the cause of this prolongation and |
another paper says, " it is possible that
the affairs of Spain will not be foreign to
the assembly," In the mean time the
Russian troops continue their march for
Italy, where the first column was expect
cd on the 2lst of April. General Fri
mont will retain the superior command
of the Austrian troops which will remain
for the term of four years in the kingdom
of Naples. AS soon as all the provinces |
shall be entirely reduced to submission,
third of the Austrian army will quit
Naples to return into Upper Italy"
Austria is increasing her military es-
Enlistment. BY the 10th of April, Ia
additional regiments were to be put into
active service on the war footing. This
will make new military force of $4,000
men, the precise destination of which is |
not yet known. A column of Russian
troops, $4,000 strong, was to enter Hun
gary in the course Of a few days.
A letter from Madrid of the 10th of |
April, says: " 1t is with much satisfac-
ton that have to inform you of some
thing more than mere prospect of the
acknowledgement of the independence
of South America, by the Spanish gov
eminent, which will, if admitted, put
stop to any further diffusion of blood ON
the other side of the Atlantic. The ne
gociations which are going forward, are
OF very conciliatory nature"
