Lute and Important from
Europe.
NKW-YORK, May 11.
Th« \pril packet ship Amity, Capt. Max
ship il-ctor. capt. (iiilcnder,
boll! arrived yesterday afternoon from Li
verpool, which port they left in company on
the 6li of Apr.l; and the editors ot the
Mercantile Advt rtiser have received Liver
pool papers t<> that date, with London papers
to the evening of the 4th.
The papers announce the important fact,
that the Neapolitans have failed in their at
lentil to tHabjioh a free government : they
have signed a convention with me Austrians,
„„<! the war in Italy is ended.
It appeal a, that after the affair at Rieti,
the Austrians advanced to Aipiila. Subse
quently, a bulletin was issued, dated at Cas
te! di Sangro, and signed by gen. Wm. l’epc,
ul which the-following isan exiract :
“The corps commanded by Gen. Pepe
was chiefly composed of legionaries and pro
visional militia, who were hastily assembled
on the first announcement of the move
ments of the Austrian troops, and who ne
ver believed the war In which we were en
gaged was serious.
6 •* With this corps gen. Pepe had to guard
the valley of Hovelo, Taghacozzo, Anlradu
co, Leonessa, and the Tronto. the enemy
appeared in force in the neighborhood of
Civita Uncale. Among the courses of which
genera! Pepe had it in his power to follow,
the most prudent was a dcbouclice from Ins
position and to attempt an extensive recon
nuisance. On the morning of the 7th, he
attacked the enemy near llieti, and at the
tame time directed an attack to be made
near Leonessa by three battalions. The na
tional troops, and particularly those of the
line, drove back the enemy with the great
est bravery.— A demi battalion ut the Capi
tanata distinguished itself in the first line,
as did a dcim battalion of the 3d light infan
try.
“ In vain did the enemy deploy all his ca
valry in the plain ol Uieti ; our sharp shoot
ers handled the hussars severely, and killed
a great number of them, including some su
perior officers.
“ After a warm fire had continued for se
ven hours, the enemy brought up reiultirce
rnents. Ilis numbers soon became very su
perior to ours. The general ordered a re
treat, which was effected without any of our
receiving either a musket shot or a
sabre cut. But the enemy advanced; the
fire of his artillery threw into disorder the
second line of our militia, who perceiving
that the ’roups composing the first line were
retreating, believed the corps defeated
which they had so bravely sustained for se
ven hours under the hottest tire. Many ot
the battalions of militia dispersed.
“ The sm any, surprised at the courage
our troops bad op|X>sed to them, did mu
venture to advant t on any point ; but hal
ing learned from spiel the disorder which
had taken place, he seized the propitious
Siomeut, and tried with large masses to
force the passage of Anlruduco.—This de
file was dclciided with extreme valor by the
brave gen. HuSso, whose troops toughi well;
but our troops were overcome by numbers,
ami the tleliie was carried. Gen. Pepe then
moved Ins head quarters to Sulmona, and on
the 11th to Cast el th Sangro, where lie in
tended to recompose his corps, and to pre
sent toi'c enemy that resistance which lie
ought to expect from Neapolitan soldiers,
when recovered from a first surprise. I ins
Cl rj s will be re cog used, and will be render
ed worthy of the eatestu of the enemy and
the nation.”
this intelligence is contained in a Neapo
litan journal of the 14th tilt, which adds that
Gin. i’epe was expected hi the capital, and
that he was to be replaced by General Kil
angeri; Marshal Vt-rdiuosi, whose column
bad sustained no loss, was also stated to be
in the province of Glnctie, embarrassing the
enemy by manoeuvring on his flanks. At
Capua a council of war was held by the
Prince Regent, and on the breaking up of
the council, Item-general l'urtlella was des
patchedto Florence, on a mission to the
King.
A private letter from Naples, ol the same
date, declares, that even the dt files of An
traduce, where a few men would have suffi
ced to arrest the progress of the whole corps
of the enemy, were abuuduned precipitate
ly, and that the fugitives committed such ex
cesses, that the gates of Suhuona were clos
ed against them. I lie anuy of Carasojusa

ol the Complete defeat of Gqii. Pepe was

it to the purl.ament, who adopted a resolu
tion of sending an address to the King.

Sardinia. —A private letter front Paris,
dated 21st March, says, a courier who has
arrived this day from Italy, states, that the
Affairs of Piedmont are not in that situation
which has been reported ; that the provi
sionary junta have declared the prince of Ca
rign.an, and all other members of the royal
family, incapable of reigning. It is added,
that they are making great preparations to
march on Milan, where they have been in
vited. The public are In the greatest anxie
ty to hear the news of this intended move
ment.
The other accounts from that country,
which have arrived hy express, are as fol
lows :
Tunis, March 23.
Tranquility and order prevail in this capi
tat. If disorders and misfortunes have oc
curred in the provinces as well as at Genoa,
to the inconceivable conduct of the prince
regent alone must they be attributed. The
stret ts of Turin are filled with soldiers.
Numerous contingents are arriving from all
the provinces of the kingdom ; count San
Rosa, minister of war and maiine, has an or
ate rof the day to them. The Russian minis
ter has taken his departure. It is to be hop
ed that the great powers will not consent to
any attempt of Austria, to occupy Piedmont
as well as Naples ; as that would be to give
up to her the whole of Italy.
In coniinentii g- upon the above intelli
gence, the Liverpool Mercury of the 6th
'larch (which contains president Monroe’s
inaugural address) remarks as follows .
“ 'The failure of the Neapolitans to cs- 1
tablish their freedom, will he seriously la- |
meuted by all men of liberal sentiments, )
particularly at a moment when, as a con- !
li rotation of the beautiful theory of liberty, i
we presen’ them with the inaugural speech
ot the president of a great nation, which I
shows how beneficial to the human race j
those theories may he rendered practical, j
The holy alliance may triumph over Na- 1
plea, hut America remains a great and tnex- i
tinguishable beacon, to direct our hopes ,
anil our endeavours to the site harbor of !
constitutional government. While Ameri
ca remains free (and wiiat power on earth
can enslave her?) Europe cannot be whol
ly enslaved. Nor do we think that the
friends of freedom can have causa to da:s
pair even of Napier, In this successful ag
gression Austria lias added to ill catalogue
of her own crimes, and tliawi-hy afforded tur
tlwr cause fort tie hatred and the vengeance
of those whom she dat es to oppress.
“ I’ is not hy soldiers that the ideas and
sentiments of inen can he extirpated ; and
she has been taught bv the events ol the
la-. > ear, that even soldiers have their pe
riods ot reflection ; that even these evil
practised machines of war may sometimes
assert their share of humanity, and may tun
their weapons to other purposes than that
ot defending the thrones of despots, and
executing the sanguinary behests nf greedy
and ambitious tyrants. —Spain anal Portugal
still remain in the enjoyment of their newly
acquired liberties ; and it is impos-ible that
France and Kogl.oid can long continue to
behold with indifference the westward pro
gress ol that oriental despotism w hich, while
it pretends to preach (he safely thrones, is
manifestly aiming at the destruction of all
the commerce, all the power, and all the
independence ol the western nations. The
despotic spirit must be driven beyond the
M olga, or Kurope will be to Russia what
Egypt and Persia were, in ancient days, to
As-} rs.

it was supposed that the Spanish Consul at

Three Tunissian frigates, three corvettes,
a brig, a sclir. and another vessel ol war,

Foreign Summary.
In the British House of Commons on the
291 h of March, Mr. Hume moved for an ac
count attending t‘he detention of Napoleon
Buonaparte, lie said that the cxpences of
the year 1816, agr eah yto an estimate in
his possession; a counted t > 449,673 pounds.
He called fur copies of the correspondence
attending Ins detention, and also moved for
an account of wha : England had paid to
wards the same for the lust five years. The
motion was ag-eed to.
Sir Robert Wilson said he was anxious to
take the first opportunity which presented
itself, of protesting in the most solemn
manner against the detention of Napoleon.
(A laugh.) Gentleman, he said, might
laugh, but he expressed the sentiment of ev. !
cry just, and humane man in Europe. In !
his detention lie could see nothing but dis
honor, the violation of national faith, and the |
stain of national character. He considered
his imprisonment a breach of faith, &c.
Mr. Crocker denied that England was
guilty of the slightest breach of faith towards
Bonaparte.
Sir H. Wilson said no law of nations could
justify hts son being withheld from him ;
that Bonaparte might sav with Mithridates
did to the Romans—“ Nun sum remusses
sed reverses, sinoii credis, diinitte me.”
Mr. Goulburn said the gallant general had
made an historical mistake ; Bonaparte him
self said he came to us as Themistocles did
to the Persians, ( \ laugh.)
The Hon. C. 11. Hutch nson expressed
his disapprobation of the cruel and mean I
policy which was pursued towards Napoleon;
it was equally opposed to everv principle of
I justice, humanity and honor. Was it befitting
I the British nation that she should become
gaoler to the holy alliance ; that she should
1 act in base subserviency to the despots of the
j world! After ther flagrant acts— acts
j which deserve the execration of mankind,
he would »sk ministers on what pretence
; they would now de. hire the detention of
Napoleon was necessary for the liberties of
mankind. Nap >leon even in the worst days
j of his power, never was guilty of any aggros
! stun upon the liber'ies of mankind half so
; dangerous or so dariag as the acts which had
j recently msrke 1 til unholy councils of the
Allies. For 20 years the Allies had been
j calling on their subjects to assist them a
; gainst the tyranny ot Bonaparte. He asked
j how was Its'y treated : Oil a principle, a
gainst the prevalence of which the people of
i England for 25 years had been called upon
I to guard by spending their blood and
trea-ure. As the a.i eA had broken all their
promises, to detain Napoleon in his present
captivity, was an act ut unexampled tyranny
and oppression towards the individual, and
dangerous, bv its example to the rest of
mankind. It would be-well for Austria or
Russia, and the despots of the Holy Alliance,
to concur in an act which so well agreed
with their general character : but that \vc
should act as the perpetual gaolers of Napo
leon, was most horrible and disgraceful. •
Half a milion ot money per annum, or nearly 1
that sum. was expended to this purpose for
ships, troops. &c, the people must be the
most besotted in the world. If they contin
ued to approve such expenditure for such a
cause, lie felt it to be every way outrage
; ous to undertake such an expenditure, and
to violate the principles of the law of nations,
to satisfy the disgraceful appetite of the ty- j
rants ot the Holy Alliance.
Accounts from I-ay bach to the 29th of

Charles Felix Duke of Savoy, Duke de
Oenevois, Bcc. in whose favor the king of
Sardinia abdicated, issued a proclamation nn
the 19th of March, declining to take t he title
of king, and declaring that be should consi
der and regard as rebels those of the king’s
subjects who may unite with the seditious
in proclaiming a constitution, or in any shape
oppose the royal authority. The following
is the conclusion ofhis proclamation :
“ Full of confidence in the grace and as
sistance of God, who always protects the
cause of justice, aid persuaded that our au
gust allies are disposed to come promptly
to our assistance with all their forces, in the
j sole and generous intention, constantly mani
fested by them, to support the legitimacy of
thrones, the plenitude of royal power, and
the integrity of stales, we hope to he soon
enabled to re-establish order and tranquility,
| and to recompense those, who in present cir
; cnnistances, shall have particularly merited
our grateful benevolence.”
, The reason as igned by King Victor E
manuel for abdicating is, that he had given a
promise to the three foreign powers not to
adhere to any constitution that might be im
posed on hun, and not wishing to break his
word or -acrifice his people, he had resolved
toabdi<# ! e.

("From the Courier of the Uronokc.J
On thv 22d October our troops, Tinder the
] command of general Monegns, look posses
sion of the capital of Barcelona. The Span
; i,h chief Tanjusto was intrenched in a very
| strong mansion, situate in Portugal, with the
| bridge that led to it drawn up ; hut notwith
standing, he was fearful of being attacked on
all sides, and tuok refuge in the Moro during
the night, where he remained for some time,
defended by three flechtras. Meanwhile
the most active operations TSSre continued,
in order to dislodge him from a position
I which merely depended on the weak re
; s urces it could receive from sea. General
Monegas. having garrisoned Barcelona w ith
a tolerably good force, marched towards
Q iinmare ui quest of Francisco Guzman,
a ias Chigaul, and on the morning of the se
cond November tigoromly attacked him on
\ the summit of a craggy mountain, where he
had entrenched himself, defended by a piece
of artillery.
Victory soon crowned our operations, and
the enemy, in order to escape total destruc
tion, abandoned their post and took to
flight.
, Occupation of Carupano by the troops of Col
ombia, and liberty to all thf coasts of Faria.
We have just time to inform the put'hc of
the pleasing news of the taking of Carupano,
| the particulars of which came too late for
this days publication ; but, for the immedi
a’e satisfaction of our readers we publish the
following :
CIRCULAR ■■ Republic of Colombia,

Caturo, Novamber 27th, 1821. 5
On the 25th was the happy moment in
which the people of this province proclaim
ed their liberty. The troops under the
command of Leon and Lernus, took posses
sion of the town. The commandant Carbo
, nel, together with a number of followers,
I remained concealed in the fort.—Carbonel,
however, when he found the cry tor free
dom so general, came out to speak to the
commandant of our troops, anil agreed to
deliver up the fort, with all the men that *
were in it, among whom was the notorious
Narario.
A brig and a schooner of war and two
merchant vessel* were taken.

Pobtsmocth, Anno 24-
A AT RULE DEED.
The schooner President, Perry, of War
ren, from Boston for Thomastown, went a
shore on the Whale’s Back, near this harbor
on Saturday night latrt. —Vessel and cargo
entirely lost. The crew and passengers
were saved by the humane and intrepid con
duct of Corporal George M’Auley, and a
boat’s crew from Fort Constitution. Seve
, r.d boats had gone out for the purpose of af
fording relief to the sufferers, but it was
deemed impracticable to proceed ne.hr
enough to take them from the wreck, oA
account of the heavy sea, the extreme dark
ness of the night, and the very dange
rous situation of the wreck, which the fitrv
of the waves was dashing to pieces. In this
situation, M’Auley put the question to his
boat’s crew —“ Shall -are save them or perish
»•> the attempt ?” “Yes,” was the unanimous
answer of these brave fellows, and they im
mediately dashed among the breakers,-” and
fortunately succeeded in saving seven fellow
creatures from a watery grave. The offi
cers at the port, we understand, intend pre
stenting M’Auley a silver Medal, as a reward
for his meritorious conduct.
We should do injustice to our own feel,
ings on this occasion, did we omit to men.
j ‘ion the names of the tneh who composed
i the boat’s crew, and who share with M’Au,
j lev the praise of this act of disinterested be
, nevolencej they are as follow s, viz:—Pierre-
F. Beaute, Thomas Curtis, Benjamin Boyu
i ton, and M’Geer.
