The Paris Journals of Wednesday last, have arrived this morning ; their contents, with the exception of the two following paragraphs, are uninteresting. “ All the letters received from Italy confirm the march of the Neapolitans a- g -inst Rome, nnd the welcome reception they there met with. It appears that their presence has produced an impor tant effect in the Roman states, nnd that it is their intention, on retreating to de stroy the dykes ofthe Pontine Marshes.” The Marquis ofLnnsdoivn made his promised motion last night in the House of Lords, upon the subject of the war now waged by Austria against the Inde pendence of Naples. The purport of the motion being to pledge the British (government to defend Naples against the cruel aggression of her enemies, it was opposed by Earl Bathurst, on the part of the Ministers, as inconsistent with the spirit of that neutrality which they con ceived it to l>e the interest of this country to pursue. Several other Noble Lords delivered their opinions upon the ques lion, niter which the House divided, when there appear'd—for the motion 37 —against it 84—majority 47. NAPLES—At a late hour last night, the following oflicial documents were re ceived from Naples. Extract from the “ Friend of the Consti tution,” Saturday February 10. ‘I The pe raanent Deputation, to tlio People of „ . the hvo Sicilies : A letter from Lay bach, dated Jan. 28, addressed by the king to the Prince Re gent, and confidentially communicated by his Royal Highness to the Permanent Deputation, impose on the Deputation the necessity of convoking the Parlia ment Extraordinary, (according to the form which the Constitution prescribed to the Prince Regent,) in order to decide tipon such measures as the dignity and honor of the Neapolitan nation require. Th? calmness and firmness which the na tion displayed on the reception ofthe be fore mentioned letter, were sentiments suitable to a free people ; to a people which has sworn to a Constitution in con- •yunction with its King. This calmness anti this firmness will battle the insidious projects of those whose sole object is to deceive the nation anti scatter about firebrands of civil war ; but the national •glorv will no longer be the victim of ca lumny and oppression. “Naples, February9, 1821. .(Signed) GALDI, President. * Sknegu, Devito, NichoLa, S i-ha no, Buiielu, Btiuu, Secretaries.

Extract from the “Friend of the Constitution, of February li*. .National Parliament Extraordinary. Presidency of M. Jr Chevnllei- Guilts. Silting of Felt. 13, 1821. It is impossible to express the joy which the extraordinary meeting ol the Parliament has excited among the people. The great street of Toledo was lined with detachment# of the brave guard of safety, and regular troops. Salvos of artillery announced the de parture from tbe palace of his R. H. our a lured prince royal, iml of his august family. 11 is appearance produced the most lively enthusiasm, & cries of “ long ive the Prince,” “ the Constitution for ever,” rung lo the very skies. On the arrival of the Prince in the Hall of the National Parliament, where (lie galleries were crowded with respec table citizens, bis R. H. pronounced the following royal discourse : Gentlemen Representatives—When 1 closed your late extraordinary Session, 1 announced to you that I might perhaps be under the necessity of convoking an extraordinary Session of Parliament as authorized by the Constitution. That' moment is now arrived, wherein with true satisfaction I sec myself again sur rounded by the Representative* of the Nation. You arc called upon tit this crisis to take into your consideration the most important subject which has ever been presented lo it. Ever faithful to the principles which I have professed, ever resolute to stand constantly united with my countrymen, 1 took care to keep the Permanent Depu tation regularly informed of whatever news we received, if of such n nature as to instruct the public. 1 have also just commanded the Minister of Foreign Af fairs to give you an exact and detailed report of his mission, bolh as to what re gards the resolutions taken tit the Con gress of Laybnch, ef which you areal- ready apprized, and to what concerns our political condition, especially the rela tions in which vve stand with diflerent foreign powers, 1 have in the same manner directed the other Ministers to afford you all the explanations you can desire, or which can convey to you the most precise know ledge of our position, as well in what re lates to the war and marine department*, as to that of the public finance*. I arn persuaded that wisdom and mo deration will animate your dienssions in a matter of this immense importance, which involves the honor and happiness of the whole people, objects no less dear to my heart than to that of every good citizen, since I have rivetted so closely my own interests to these of the nation itself. The distinguished conduct which you have hitherto pursued iu till the mea sures that have been adopted, gives me a powerful guarantee that you will now more than ever acknowledge for your guide* the national honor, respect for the throne, and for public order. Parliament, l am sure will be ready to grant me for their maintenance, all the means which are at the disposal of the Legislative Power, and which may he best adapted to the exigency of those aw- fil circumstances in which we are plac ed. Let us take prudent, vigorous, and considerate measures—and ns for me, always faithful to toy oath, I shall congra tulate myself on being in the midst of a nation which ceases not on every occa- siouto manifest towards me its affection ate sentiments.” The President answered in tlic fol lowing terms :— ‘ Your Royal Highness—Polished & ci vilized communities are doubtless they, who, rising above the other nations which cover the surface of the earth, love those laws and constitutions which secure their tranquility, their industry, and their enjoyment of the arts and sci ences by which they are distinguished from barbarians. An industrious and cultivated nation is naturally pacific, and useful to its neighbors—it evinces not their glory nor their greatness—con tinually occupied in improving its own institutions, protected by a wise and li beral legislation, it loves its actual condi tion, it seeks not to change that far a doubtful futurity—it respects tbe rights of others because, it well comprehends all tbe advantages which flow from nsys- tem of peace and moderation. It is pn these bases that our ancestors founded their laws, and built up their in stitutions—They were the foremost n- nioug the most celebrated people ofthe u- niverse to distinguish themselves though- out a long period of civilization. The errors'into which mankind have fallen from tbe influence of time, from neglect of religion, and the corruption of morals, have inspired amongst ourselves those noble principles, on which depend the power, (he splendor, the celebrity of nations. But an active, magnanimous, generous people can no longer remain plunged in the thick darkness which has surrounded them. They have roused themselves from their lethargy, and with in a few short months have run the ca reer of ages, vet without any violent “hock ; yet without destroying at si sin- do blow all. their ancient institutions; but uniting to this nnlooked for impulse the consent of their lawful Sovereign, tw ice testified on oath, and consecrating the legitimacy of the throne and ofthe reigning dynasty, by vows rioless spon taneous than sincere. Heroic Spain ap plauds our magnanimous enterprise ; the liberal governments of Europe for the most pari approve it: bnt a dense cloud begins to rise from the buuksofthe Dan- (die ; the tempest precedes it, k. threat ens to extinguish that radiant light which spring# from the extreme bounds ol 8i- , tly &. Italy. We hasten to meet tbe tem pest ; we strive to appease it by pray ers nud protestations ; all measures nrq tried ; every expedient is resorted to,, except those only, which belong to peo ple already vanquished and enslaved.— All is fruitless. They ask us for guaran tees— we oiler them for assurances of safety ; we give them. They summon our Sovereign to the Congress ol Lay- bach. Ilis repairs thither. They re quire explanations of our conduct, politi cal 'And civil, nay, almost of our secret thoughts. We make every sacrifice con sistent with the honor and dignity ofthe nation ; 1 will add, of (he constitutional throne itself; but we are wholly uasoc- cessful. What more could wc ilo 1 what security was it possible for us lo tendnr, beyond such a composure as we exhibit ed ; such a resignation—such n respect for the rights of all nations and monarch#! But I repeat it, all was in vain—and un less the Supreme Being, the protector of innocence nnd justice should fail to enlighten the mind# of kings, and to touch the hearts of their counsellors, it w ill be difficult to preserve peace. Rumor (sad messenger of the. calami ties which impend over nations) had long since announced that a cloud charged w ith lightning and tempest was approach ing our native country. Your royal high ness, calling together an extraordinary 1’arli,uncut, has still added strength to our suspicions. The discourse which w ith so much feeling you have delivered from the throne of your ancestors, lias changed our doubts into certainty. The contents ofthe official documents which accompany your speech are lor us a me lancholy- augury, and perhaps the wliote nation will he compelled to throw aside the system of moderation which lias dis- tiiignisliedpt, to enforce all its rights, and dsiplav itself in firll dignity before the face of Europe. As for us, we wnntcd nothing at the hands of neighbouring nations. We re- -poet nil governments, however contras ted may be their constitution* with our own ; wo wish lo live at pence in our dwellings, lo cultivate our soil, to eser- cis* Unrestrained the rights of industry and commerce : we w i-h other states to respect our religion and to leave it un stained by foreign superstitions ; we are anxious lor peace under tlie shade of those protecting laws, nnd of that immor tal constitution, fidelity to which wc have sworn. Sir, Parliament will mlopt those resolutions w hich it shall conceive to bio most worthy of the honor and in dependence ofthe nation which is con fident to use its destinies--those resolu tion* which will he bird calculated to preserve peace, if possible, and good un derstanding between the people of the Two Sicilies, and all the other nations of the earth : to consolidate the edifice of our Constitution, and the legitimacy of the throne. ^Your royal highness, with that noble frankness and integrity byjwhich yon are characterised; has just pronounced, these memorable words, that you “ will be fi ver with us and with the nation,” and the grateful nation w ill know how to maintain eternally on the throne of the Two Si cilies the dynasty of Charles.” At those words the hall resounded •villi fresh acclamations, which accom panied the Prince nnd his august spouse the whole wav from the Parliament to the pllace, After the Prince’s departure, his excellency the Duke de Gallo, Se cretary of State, ad interim, for Foreign Affairs, made a report to the Chamber of his mission to Lay bach. His Excellency then communicated, 1st, The notes of the foreign ministers in reply to that of his majesty, which had been transmitted to Congress. 2.

Sitting of the 25fh. The Minis ter for Foreign Affairs trans mitted to the Parliament 150 copies of tbe manifesto issued by the government against the invasion of the kingdom. S. Ma-sone read n motion for reques ting the Prince Regent to remain near the parliament, for the purpose of giving his sanction to the decrees ; and that lie should not expose himself on the fron tiers, or repair thither, except to ani mate the troops, and to return immedi ately. The motion was supported by several deputies, but vehemently oppo sed by S. Rorelli, who observed, lhat it was not of the prerogative of parliament to limit the will of him to whom the con stitution had confided the supreme com mand ofthe army. The motion was re ferred to a committee. Many offers of voluntary aid were read at this sitting. Among them was one from an actor named Cnivnrola, ofthe Theatre San Carlos, who tendered to the State the amount ofthe receipts at In.- benefit, to take place on the 5th March, and which was expected to produce not less than 1,800 or 2,000 due it*.

Liverpool, March 28, MSI. “The demand for Cotton lias revived with spirit in the last three days, and the sales iu that period amount to fully 9000 hags, at an advance in the middling qualities, of Upland and Sea Island, and the lower qualities of Nevv-Orleans at 1-2 a 8-4 |*er lb. Wo now quote Upland 8 8-4 at 10 3-4 per lit. The dealers and speculators have equal ly come forward, and the holders although they have met the demand freely, have pro gressively raised the prices.

The Liverpool Mercury of the 1Gth inst. states that a detachment of Austrians which had entered Re.mini had been cut off ivy the Inhabitants, it is publicly stated nt Naples that in the event of invasion, assistance the most effectual will he derived both from Spain and France, Several vessels freight ed with arms had already arrived from Spain, mid several hundred French officers had en tered the Neapolitan service. The French people do not participate in the sentiment of neutrality declared I»y the government.— Many free corps of ilie Neapolitans have carried alarm into tbe States of the Holy Pontiff. All Italy appears ready to make common cause with the Neapolitans. The officers of the French squadron have frater nized with the Neapolitan*. A general ris ing is momently expected in the Roman and Bolognese States, in the kingdom of Na ples, all the male population capable of bear ing arms, are marching lo the frontiers.—It is reported that some officers of a certain squadron in the. lay have expressed u wil lingness to fight under the Neapolitan flag. Borne young people of Messina have march ed to the frontiers as volunteers. On tile 15t li lilt, a body of disaffected Tus cans, and other Italians, iu conjunction with a party of Neapolitans proclaimed the Nea politan constitution in the Roman state of Aurora nn. A letter from n respectable merchant in Naples dated 18th Feb. states, “1 cannot think the Austrians can ever become mas ters of the interior of the country where a Guerilla warfare will be kept up. I fear the war will assume a frightful character of fe rocity. llad you been in Parliament the o- therday when the gnat question of War, or submission, was decided, you would have wept. “ It is said there arc 80,000 Neapolitan troops waiting for the Austrians. The lat ter will certainly be eut up and massacred wherever they may be found in small bodies —they arc detested beyond measure.” /Savannah Republican. Charleston, May 5. VERY LATE FROM ENGLAND. The fust sailing ship Ocluvia, captain Wilson, arrived late last evening, after the short passage of 35 days from Liver pool. She brings London dates to the 22d of March, and Liverpool to the 24th. Such extracts of interest as we had time to make are subjoined. The Austrians had not yet commenced the war, but the Piedmontese had revolted, & the whole df Italy in all probability will be on the side of Naples. .The Emperor of China is dead. The British Parliament is occupied chiefly, it would appear, in discussing the Catholic question. The Spanish Gen. Morillo, had ar rived in London, on his way to Spain. The Londqn Globe, of 20th March, says—“It was last night very confident ly rumored, that insurrectionary move ments had taken place in Hanover and Prussia. The report was circulated in quarters so respectable, that we cannot let it pass unnoticed.”- From the Liverpool Mercury, March 23. ITALY. The congratulations of the friends of freedom are now the introduction of eve ry conversation, and may therefore claim the first place in our political comment#. H'c do, indeed, most sincerely congratu late our readers on the opening events of that war in Italy, which was begun in the spirit of proud and oppressive des potism, but which already wears a bright ening aspect in favor ofthe insulted and oppressed. The Revolution in Pied mont may be considered decisive ofthe fate ofthe Austrian invasion. It is-the signal for oilier Revolutions, not only in Italy, but in every part ofEurope, where despotic Princes have deceived their people. The reports cf such Revolu tions are already numerous, and although we would not mislead the expectations of the earnest votaries of liberty, even by pointing out sources of hope ; yet we are ready to acknowledge that wo are willing to lend our confidence to many of these reports. We are prepared to be lieve that the insurrectionary move ment*, which are staled in some of the London papers to be rapidly taking place from Warsaw in Poland, to Lyons in France, may not he fallacious, and that even the advanced guard of thu Austri an army may bo more willing to revolt to the Neapolitans, than to attaeklhetn We Hull now proceed to take a suc cinct view ofthe leading occurrences, with which thu public prints have this week been replete, and which have pro- luced a sensation of genuine joy in eve ry rank of society, greater than any The intelligence from the north of I- ly ofllic 3d inst. stated that otie divis ion ofthe Austrian army iiad passed the Tiber, at Ponte-Molle, and occupied Iticli. The reserve was at Foligno.— Tlio Neapolitans who had occupied the defiles of liicti and Terai, had rctrugad- ed as far a* Aquila, to consolidate their forces. This appears to have been the situation of the armies when the Revolu tion of tiie Piedmontese army took place. The accounts in the London papers of tiie 20th instant, contain thu following important statement*, of which we shall probably receive further particulars be fore this paper is published. Defeat of the Austrians.—By express from Paris, a bulletin had been received, in which it is announced that there has been a battle nt Ricti on tiie 9th March, and that the Neapolitans attacked the Im perial Army, which was defeated ; that many prisoners were taken ; that the action whs very bloody; nnd that gen. Pepe was killed. A report lias gained credit on the Ex change at Paris, that a chest containing funds from M. Rothschild for the Austri an urniy, had been seized by a detach ment of the Sardinian army which was inarching against (he Austrians. Liverpool, March 24. Tiie public mind has been kept in a state of considerable perturbation during the whole ofthe present week by tiie continual title of reports, opinions and speculation*, which Cowed upon us from France and Italy, and which Were scarce ly exceeded in number and variety du ring nnv period of tiie lute war. First in immediate interest, though not in ul timate importance, is the account of a battle said to have been fought on the Neapolitan frontier, the beginning of tin present month. All the statements hith erto received, the greater part of which have reached us through the French journals, concur in declaring that the re sult of this battlo was in favor of the Neapolitans, and some account* add that the loss ofthe Austrians amounted to not less Ilian 4 or 5.0U0 men. The latter, it i* said, were attacked by surprise, and before they were at nil aware lhat the enemy were ready to receive them.— But the whole details of this affair are, as yet, in a stale of absolute uncertainty. [From the London papers ofthe 22 d March,] Paris papers to the 18th and lfhh-inst. have been received this morning. In telligence from Italy, received in Paris on the latter day, has also reached town this morning, thus anticipating the Paris papers of Tuesday. They confirm the account of the revolt of several garrisons in Picdmout, and the abdication of the King of Sardinia, but not the defeat of the Austrians and death of General Pepe, so confidently asserted iu the bulletin from Paris. Those and the other favor able accounts, including the insubordina tion of the Austrian troops, which is ex pressly contradicted, had probably their origin in speculations on change. What was said of the march of the Prince of Carignan towards Milan has not been confirmed. The papers mention a va riety of rumours, upon which we appre hend no reliance can be placed ; among them arc tbe following : That a courier had arrived at Paris from Mayence, bringing information of some revolution ary troubles having broken out in that city, that the Austrian magistrates at Ve nice had been killed by the people ; nnd that at Turin, the colonel of a regiment, wishing to oppose the constitutional move ment, a lieutenant stepped out ofthe ranks and Eliot the colonel through the head with a pistol. The news from Piedmont is important. The King of Sardinia, it is said, has abdicated, not in favor of tbe Prince de Carignan, but of his brother the Duke de Genovois. The Prince de Garignan is merely appointed Regent till the arrival of the king’s bro ther, who was ou his way towards Mo dena, lo meet his father in law, the King of Naples, Russia.—It is said, tint there are not les* (Kan 120,000 Russian troops assem bled in Georgia, ready for the field. The ambitious designs of Russia become daily more apparent, and we must not lie sur prised to sec shortly that court openly •ivow its views on Turkey and Persia.— I he Emperor Alexander, it is said, has been recalled to St. Petersburgh by the enatc, from motives of the greatest ur gency. Perhaps the Poles begin lo think that, in the present crisis, they may re quire something more than the nominal independence granted lo them by the congrees of Vienna. London, March 20. On Sunday morning a messenger arrived in town, (villi despatches from Naples—the Earl of Liverpool had a consultation with se veral of the Cabinet Ministers, at hi# house •n Whitehall, in consequence. The noble Earl afterwards gave directions fur summon ing a general Cabinet Council, which assem bled yesterday at 2 o’clock. The members continued iu deliberation till about half past 4 o’clock.

TRANSLATION FOR TUK NATIONAL OAZnTTB. YENF.7.UKLIAN PROCLAMATION. Soldiers! After four months of an ar mistice, which was to terminate by peace ; in the midst ofthe. most religious observance ofthe compact, on our part; k whilst negociritions suggested by him self, were pending, Gcu. Bolivar has Inhabitants of these provinces! In tlio midst of an armistice scrupulously ob served by us, General Bolivar has noti fied to me its suspension. Explanations respecting the affair of Maracaibo, which lie himself, on the 15th of Feb. had re quested me to entertain, were pending, and I lie conferences to which he himself had invited me to accqde, between iiis comtnbrioners and those of his Majesty, on the subject of prolonging the armis tice, had not yet ceased, when he sud denly, and under the strange pretext that the treaty concluded at Truxillo was pre judicial to his army, which experienced enormous losses, announced to me, that either iiis government must be acknow ledged or the war renewed. General Bolivar knew very well that the recognition demanded, was beyond my oflicial powers. Such was our fixed understanding nt San Cristovai m August last ; k upon (his principle was the ar mistice signed ; an arrangement which was, in fact, only a suspension ofhostili- ties, while his commissioners should pro ceed to the court of Madrid, to treat of recognition, or to set forth other claims to the adjustment of which our power* did not extend.

In con sequence, hostilities mill be commenced on my side the 28lh April. Fresh calamities are about to fall upoi^ you ; calamities provoked and induced so unjustly, by tbe imprudence of Gen eral Bolivar. The responsibility will not rest with the Spanish government, which, to avert those evils, has taken steps marked by unprecedented disinter estedness & generosity, nnd has made tho utmost efforts of good faith and forbear ance. You will soon have submitted to- you nil the details of these transactions j yon shall judge ofthem—the whole world shall judge of (hem. Although the true causes ofthe extra ordinary and precipitate conduct of Gen eral Bolivar are yet secret, they must very soon transpire. Your honour is,, perhaps, implicated in them ; since, per haps, the false representations of some had men may have awakened in iiis mind the same ideas and projects that he in dulged in his invasions of Ocumare and Clarines. New-York, April 26. It is probable tlint intelligence from Peru, has been received at Havana of a later date than has reached us by way of Rio-Jnneiro. The advices from Pana ma must be to about the Ctli of March, mid news trom Lima might arrive at the latter place in 15 to 20 days. We are confirmed in this opinion by a letter from Philadelphia, which states that official accounts are received, that nearly one third of Peru has joined the Patriots, and that all the Mines are in their posscssiou.
