Since our last publication, we have received the Paris papers of Thursday and Friday. The Jnui naldes Debats of Thursday again repeats its reiterated contradiction of warlike rumours, founded on accounts of naval preparations in French ports. The Greeks are said to have obtained freshi victories, and the Turkish Mlinistry, in conseqluence, to have been changed.the Reis Effendi being disgraced, and thse Grand Visier banished. The good fortune of the Greeks is de- scribed as consisting in the re-conquest of the island of Scio, the raising of the blockade of Aiissolunghi, and a successful attack on the city of Smyrna. WVe are as yet unable to ascertain Tvhat reliance can be placed en this intelligence. If any credit can be given to the following extract from the Restanirador 11a. drid paper of the 22d nlt., FERDSNAND seems to be wasting those means in preparatior for foreign conquest, which might be better employed to secure tranquillity at home " The Asia ship of the line, and the Achilles brigantine, sailed fiom Cadiz on the 13th. It is said that they are to join the Jean Bai t, and two other frigates, at the Canaries, and thence proceed to. gether to lzima. It is added, that in a few days the Arethulsa and Descubiet ta corvettes will sail for the Gulf of M5exico; the Pearl is about to be sent to Carthagena to be coppered, and the Casilda will come from Carthagena to Cadiz." The Journal des Debaes of Friday contains the sentence of the Imperial Senate of Lombaitdy on 2.5 persons accused of higb treason, including among them several noblemen: of these, nine have been acquitted, and sixteen condemned to capital punishment. Happily for them, ten of thic latter class have misde their escape, and have been condenmed par contumnace. Ninie have bee4 acquitted, andonly seveni are in the hands of tlse Austrian Government. The sentence of five of them has been commuted into imprisonment. The fol- low ing is an analysis of the facts and proceedings in this case, ex. tracted from the Etoile of Satuirday's date The lierniteur of to.day publishes aP the details of the pro. ceedings, w hich we regret that wre are not able to give at length to our readers: we will give them an analysis of is. " The enemies of the eternal principles of religion and sociai 'order are united in all countries. It may be recoblected that a little before the return of Buonaparte to France, a plot, formed in Lombardy, was baffled, and thle Emperor at that time pardoned the chief authors of those orin,inal intrigues. In 1815, Murat revive(d all the secret societies, and they liad acknowlcdged him for their chief in all Italy, when he wvas overconie by the Austrian artms. His fall rendered the factious more circumspect, but thiey worked in the dark. Cj'arboozaris,n and AdelirtJmc were in 1816 the secret societies wlhich predominated in ItalY. Entirely similar in their demagogi. cal tendency, the one proclaimed the institution of the agrarian: law, the other regicide. They differed from each other only in the different ceremonies which they had adopted. The centre of the firstwvas at Nap.les; thatof the second ir, France. " in 181', the existence of these sects w'as manifested by plots: !hirteen of the principal sectaries were arrested, and the Emperor again commuted the capital punishment to imprisonment. " The revolution at Naples in 1820 gave new activity to all the in. trigues of the Carbonari. Count Louis Porro Laamberlaejui placed himself at their head in 1820. He fled in 1821, and was condemned, | par* contumnace, to the penalty of death. " At Rrome,Milan, and Turin, Adelflsine, which had assutmed the title of the Society of sublinme perfect Mffasters, and which. was connected with France through Genoa, excited the revolution in. Piedmont. The sectariea of the several states had provided their satellites with arms atid ammnunition; they intended to raise Italy, and that peninsula was to be politically divided by the Po, and governed by the Spanish Constitution and a federal union. A junta of government.,divided into seven different sections, was to be formel. The sectaries had already arranged a plan fbr a na- tional guard. The invasion of Lombardy by the Piedmontese army was fixed upon as the time of the combined movement which was to take place. The Piedmon tese army would have marclied in two columns into the States of Italy. The first was to penetrate into Lombardy. The second to enter the States of Parm& and Modena, and cndeavour to seduce the Papal garrison of Bologna. The reader remembers the events at Alexandria and Turin, and the en- trance of the revolutionists into Novaxa. The project was then formed to excite popullar tumult at tilas. At thet same ttme writteb notice was sent to the conspirators of Bres-j cia, desiring them to accelerate the revolt in that pro- vince, - The; leltii addressed to them contsined preciie in- stru ctions relative. fo' the disarming of the earrison, whicl they were to eflect; to the- expedition, the object of which was to surprise the fortresxes of Peschiera and Rbcca d&Aufo; to the carry- ing oft the pribliccoffirs, which they were to seize upon; and while on the one hand they pressed the insurrection of several provinces of Lombardy, on the other, letters after letters, and emissaries after emissaries, were sent to call in thie enemy and hasten the invasion. "Count Frederick Confalonieri, accused by the public voice of the assassination of Prina, was at the head of the conspiracy. " Tire Liberals of France reomrended himp, at the beginning of the month of January, 821 theconspirators of Piedmont, and Confalonieri constitutedhi self the supreme centre of the conspiracy in -Lombardy. Pecchi<Vegoni, Demester, Pallavicini, became his most active agentr.i " Confalonieri, far from manifesting the smallest repentance in the whole course of the proceedings, constantly displayed the most invincible obstinacy in his crime, of which he nuide a complete confes. sion with a sortof boasting. A Frenchman (Alexander Philip Andry- ane, of Paris) was one of thejmost ardent sectaries. Being suspect. ed, after several journies in France, Switzerland, and Italy, his papers were seized, and it was found that the Graitd Fir?narnext, founding itshopeson theSpanish revolution, stillentertained previous- to the htter part of 1822 the hope of renewing the intrigue which the political events of Naples and Piedmont had broken ; and now therc was formed at Genoa, under its auspices, an active centre of co. operationi, which powerfully seconded its revolutionary views direcited against the tranquillity of Italy. - "*The conspiring party which was at Ocneva had the name of 'Italian Congress ;' Andryane was initiated in the quality of ex- traordinary Deacon irnto the friglitful mysteries of the sect. " His arrest at Alilan prevented aUl the operations which he was to attempt. LegaUy convicted by his own confession of the enor- mous crime of which he has been guilty, he has been condemned to the punisbmentwhich was his due." LONDON, MlfONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 182
