The uccurnatce caused many persons to assemble, who demanded the punishment of all the delinquents. Order was maintained without difficulty during the night. At 12 o'clock to day people beg-an running about the streets ; the doors of the houses were shut, and several persons appeared armed with pistols and sa bres, demanding the heads of the prisoners brought from Orense, who were confined in the Castle. But this commotion was kept down by the appear ance of the troops and the exertions of the magis trates. In the afternoon fresh groupes assembled with the same demand. The General appeared at the balcony and addressed them, afterwards went down into the square, and assured them that the law would punish the delinquents. lie took all the nece.ssary precautions, sent out patrolcs, &c and all was soon made quiet. FRENCH PiPERS. PARIS, MARCH 5. —We have just received a private letter from Naples, dated the 15th ult., which supplies the following details : To-day, at the breaking up of a long sitting, in which the report of a committee nominated the preceding evening to examine the ultimatum of the powers was read, the Prince Regent left the hall at the head of the members of the parliament, and pro nounced, before the assembled multitude, the iiirru of a declaration of war against Austria and the coa lesced powers. The troops have received orders to march. General Carascosa has taken the supreme command. Begani has int reached himself in Gaeta. The Neapolitan troops appear to have a design of marching against Rome. A proclamation in the Latin language, which it is thought has been drawn up at Naples, has been disseminated amongst. the Hungarian regiments which form part of the Austrian army in Italy. VIENNA, i : Ch. 21.—Notwithstandiig all rumours to the contrary, the certainty of war has in no degree shaken public credit. One fact suffices to prove this ; the funds yesterday were at 70 15-16ths ; to-day they arc at 7:2, and every thing indicates a furthcr rise. MADRID, Feb. 24.—Since the late disturbances, assassinations have increased in this capital : not a night passes without some new victim flitting beneath the stiletto. The King's health gradually improves. His Majesty has resumed his accustomed airings. His carriage, and that containing his children, are now encircled by strong detachments of the regiment d'Almanza. It is remarked that the population of Madrid has recently been augmented very consider ably by new residents. The last time that his Ma jesty went out numerous persons of distinction were observed amongst the crowd, in very simple attire. It appears that many eminent men, sincerely de voted to their Sovereign, make it a duty to watch over his sacred person ; and that if the scandalous scenes which took place on the 4th and sth instant should be revived, his Majesty will find, besides his guard, a thousand arms raised for his protection. The Manileur contains a report of the trial of Guindon, alias Ruyiefort, iound guiity of the mur derof Marshal Brune. It was on the 2d of August, 1815, this shocking event took place. On the morn ing of that day the Marshal and his suite were passing through Avignon, on their way through Marseilles to Paris. The carriage was stopped and surrounded by an enraged multitude. They ex claimed that he must sutler the fate of the Duchess of Lambelle, whose head they charged him with baying carried on the top of a pike. The civil au thorities were unable to protect him. He darted from his carriage, anJ sought refuge in the Paials Royal. Toe populace mounted the mit* and pene trated into the house. Having gut a view of the Marshal, they fired ..t hint. Ott the second shot the bullet entered the back of los neck, and passed quite through. The Marshall fell dead. It was proposed to bury the body immediately ; but the populace interfered, and threw it into the river.— Roquefort was one of the most violent and active among the populace. LISSON, Feb. 17.—0 n the 13th of this mouth the Portuguese galley Alexander I. entered the Tagus from Pernambuco, after a voyage of 48 days; the Captain of this galley reports, that two days beliire his departure news had been received from Rio Janeiro, that the arming of the vessel John IV. was nearly terminated, and that he Wll3 assured his Majesty intended to come to Portugal on board this vessel. They hoped, at Pe:ll:imbue°, soon to see the embargo on all vessels destined for the other ports of the kingdom taken off CADIZ, FEn. IS.—Att event has occurred here to-day, which would be increlible if wo did not know what excesses the sanguinary enemies of our institutions are capable of. The boys in one of the public schools were repeating this morning the Catechism of the Constitution : among the persons present was a man of respectable appearance, who asked the mister which of the boys was best ac quainted with the Constitution ? The toaster made no difficulty in pointing him out, on which the man praising his application, asked permission to take him to a confectioner's to treat him with some cakes. The master agreed, and the man took away tie pair boy, not to the confimioner's, but inio the field, where he beat him in a cruel manner, leaviu him weltering in his blood, unit nearly dying. this state he was found by some women, who e car ried him to a housc. ANDILIAR, FEB, 15. —Our political chief has published un energetic proclamation, exhorting the inhabitants to deliver up the inflammatory procla mations, great numbers of which has been received by the post. Four suspicious persons have been arrested, who were met nt the highway armed with lOwling pieces and pistols.

A letter from Boulops mentions, as a rumour, that a Russian stpudron was traversing the Darda nelles, to take its station in the Mediterranean. If so, it is not difficult to fhresce its object. It is necessary that En 4 land, France and Spain, should each have a squadron of observation in the Medi. terrancan, for there was no knowing what secret treaty exists between Russia and Austria, in the event of the latter subjugating Naples. Is it nut probable that Russia will require a port in the Mx diterninean the her assistance. We subjoin an extrart of a letter mentioning the distingiiis.ied manner in which the deputation front Nladeira, sent to announce the revolution in that island, were received:— " I.lsnos, Yrs. 23.
