We shall briefly recapitulate the amount of the very important articles of news published in the last REGISTER, to keep up the chain of events for those whose papers were printed before the intelligence reached us, and then add a short notice of other things which in the hurry of preparing the postscript, were over-looked. "The British government is known to have is sued a declaration of perfect neutrality, and has expressed its determination not to suffer this coun try, (under any circumstances), to be drawn in as a party to the contest now going on in Italy. Upon this determination they will undoubtedly act, what ever may be the events that may occur, whether adverse to the Neapolitans or favorable." On the 20th of March there was an interesting debate in the house of commons on a motion offered by sir Robert Wilson, for the production of sir Wm. A. Court's letter to the duke de Gallo, [see page 171.] Sir Robert Wilson observed, that he could state, on information which enabled him to pledge his authority for its correctness, that, at Troppau, when the conversation turned on the probable changes of ministry in England, and the possibility of some of the members of that house coming into power, the directing minister of the alliance being present, said that, if such a change should take place, the allies were determined to 1.

Lord Castlereagh embraced the opportunity which then These events caused a great sensation in France. 2. All Italy indeed, was represented in a flame -the pope was prepared for flight-Tuscany had declared for a constitution, and Venice was re-offered, to discountenance the panic which has preported in a state of revolt. 3. The emperor of Russia was suddenly called home by the senate--a rising of the Poles is assigned as the cause of it. 4. There were reports of a battle between the Austrians and Neapolitans, in which the latter were said to be victorious-but the accounts are confused and the fact was problematical, though a fight was to be immediately expected. 5.

The London Gazette, of the 20th March, con tains an order prohibiting all British officers from engaging in either side in the Italian wars, on pain of losing their commissions. The coronation will not take place this yearno time is fixed for it.

A notice of a complete revolution at Bahia, in There have been warm debates in the British Brazil, and the establishment of a provisional go-house of commons on a proposed reduction of the vernment there.

There were twelve divisions between the opposite parties in one sitting, which ended at five o'clock in the morning. But the original demands of the ministry were ultimately complied with.

The return of Des Cazas to the ministry is spoken of. SPAIN. The government has resolved to keep the priests within the circle of their own affairs. The bishop of Oviedo has been banished, and many convents shut up as nests of conspirators. In several instances the standards have been blessed by the priests: one of them, in preaching to a regiment, concluded his discourse with the words "constitution or death," to which all repeated an amen.

Lastly, he communicated the request of the English general, sir Robert Wilson, who offers his service to our country, whenever it shall be attacked by Austria.

It is noticed, in evidence of the unanimity of the Neapolitans, that, among all the strangers at Rome, not one was to be found there. They have circulated an eloquent address to the Hungarians, denouncing the iniquity of Austria, and imploring them to throw off her yoke. Sig.

A report was made of the state of the army. The deputy said "all Europe will finally learn to know the character of the men of that land which malig. nant oligarchs would have plunged into anarchy." The proposal of a friar was received-as that he himself could not march to the army to defend his country, he would clothe his brother-in-law for that purpose, and maintain him and his family during his absence. SARDINIAN TERRITORIES. Prince de Carignan, who is at the head of the revolutionists, is a nephew of the king, and his presumptive heir. His army was expected to be joined by all the old soldiery within the territories who had fought under Napoleon. The late king was about to repair to Nice, to embark for his island. SWEDEN. RUSSIA. A London paper says "There are not less than 120,000 Russian troops assembled in Georgia ready for the field. The ambitious designs of Russia become daily more apparent, and we must not be surprised to see shortly that court openly avow its views on Turkey and Persia." BRAZIL. The revolution at Bahia was effected by the troops, sustained by the people. The governor and the military commander attempted to oppose them in arms-but a few on the royal side being killed, they submitted, and were shipped off to Rio. A provisional junta had been chosen, and a news-paper established under the name of "The Golden age of Brazil," files of which have been received.

Another attempt to throw off the government of Boyer, has been made at the Cape, by some few of the soldiers who had served under Christophe.

The ecclesiastical authorities at Frankfort bave pronounced a sentence against one Mr. Koch, a catholic priest, by which they have separated him from the catholic communion, and left him to the punishment of his own conscience, for having taken unto himself a wife. AUSTRIA. The troops in Italy are said to have suffered much from fevers. Their situation seems every way unpleasant. The war that they are engaged in is unpopular. Additional troops are to be sent into Italy. It is understood that all Austrian property at Naples has been sequestered, and that letters of marque have been issued. The Austrian troops have olive branches in their hats, but muskets are in their hands. CHRONICLE. Died, at Richmond, Va. on the 4th inst. Mr. Samuel Payne, aged 63 years-a valiant soldier of the revolution and an excellent man. Brooke's Gazetteer, revised by William Darby, is about to be put to press in Philadelphia. The mention of Mr. Darby's name, as connected with a a work like this, is sufficient to shew what will be its character. The first passage by water from lake Champlain to the city of New York, was recently made in a canoe nineteen feet long-which passed through the canal from the lake to the Hudson. New York. According to an apparently correct account of the state of parties as recently elected to the assembly of this state, the house will contain 71 members opposed, and 55 friendly to the administration of gov.

It makes a pamphlet of 26 pages, and discusses several highly interesting political subjects appertaining to the condition of the United States at large, as well as refers to those matters in which the representatives of the people of Connecticut are more immediately concerned. We shall endeavor to give a place to this article. A valuable article on the "application of principles," has been necessarily postponed until next week. The nervous writer of those articles will, we hope, be encouraged to pursue his subject, in the assurance that he is opening the eyes of the blind and causing the dumb to speak out.

FOREIGN NEWS. We have another flood of im. portant foreign news, all which is sufficiently noticed under the proper heads. The face of things in Italy is completely changed. It was only last week that we collected and published what we supposed were conclusive evidences of the devotion of the people of Naples to the cause of liberWe have now before us a sheet of specimens, ty, and that we gleaned up apparent facts to shew that Piedmont, &c. had taken a firm stand against shewing all the various manner of engraving, the degrading and debasing principles of the "Ho- punching, &c. practised by Messrs.

The combined kings are managing the affairs of Europe as they please, and we fear will so manage them for some time to come; still, however, we adhere to the opinion, that the alliance has in its own nature the elements of its own destruction.

Debates in the federal convention.—A note in the Richmond Enquirer leaves no room to doubt that James Madison, who acted so distinguished a part in that body, in the Virginia convention, &c. &c. is preparing a work for the press on this subject.
