IMP:MITANT INTELLIGENCE FlO%l NAPLES. LAMENTED DEFEAT OF THE NEAPJLITANS. Expresses lrive arrived in town this morning from Paris, by which we learn, with infinite pain, that the Neapolitans have been defeated with great loss ; and, it is further added, that a ne;.,mciation had been entered into between the Belligerents. The following is a copy of a notice posted on the Exchange at Paris, in the afternoon of Wednesday last, by order of M. Ray, Minister of Finance : " There has been on the 7th inst. an engagement between the Austrians and the Neapolitans. The latter had advanced on Rieti, which was occupied by the Austrians. They were repulsed with con. sider.►ble loss. The Austrian army has entered the Abruzzi; many prisoners have fallen into their hands, and the greatest disorder appears to reign in the Neapolitan army." It is said of his Satannic Majesty that he " is not so black ,as he is painted :"—we begin to think that the House of Commons has soared similar injustice —for on Wednesday night last, when the repeal of the lately imposed malt duties was the subject of debate, though supported by all whose vote could be influenced by Lord Castlereagh's finger—Mt- NISTERS WERE LEFT IN A MINORITY OF 24 ! ! We all remember the fable of the Jack-ass, who determined to imitate a favourite lap-dog, and jus such asses are the members of the present admi nistration. Mr. Pitt, who unfortunately for his country, possessed transcen.latit ability, was en tirely niad according to Locke—who says, that Madmen reason right upon wrong principles."— The present administration possess all his obstinacy without his strong mind, and imitating him they say—" We will nut resign, though we be in re peated minorities,"—it therefore remains for the eop'e to exercise their right of petition to the throne for the purpose of getting rid of them. The County of Sufhilk ,headed by the Duke of Grafton, has set a noble example to the country at large, and we do not despair of seeing it fillowed by every county and tangible body in the king do,n. The English government professes perfect nett . trality in the present struggle between tyranny and liberty—between vice and virtue—between villany and honesty :—and how does that government re deem its profcssion—why, anticipating that their in herent feelings would prompt the British officers on half-pay to offer their assistance to the oppremicil, they publi,lr an order in council prohibitiag thern, under pain of the loss of their scanty pittances, from entering into the service of ci/! o '• of the con tending parties—dais is really a libel by implication —for can any one suppose that an English officer would at once disgrace his country and his profession by aiding Austria in her present inEnrums attempt? It would therefOre have been much more candid, and much more honest if the order had stated that, ~- :_4.1- 93 Whereto we have reason to believe that tummy of our brave subjects, feeling as Engli!hmen, are inclined to aid the Neapolitans in the defence of their Rights and - Liberties, an inclination which we, though we profess entire neutrality, are determined to render nugatory—we therefore by and with the advice of our Privy Council do declare, that dny and every officer bearing our commission who shall so act shall be cashiered"—this would have done honour to the candour of ministers, however their honesty might have been questioned. The Paris papers of Wednesday contain the fol lowing Austrian account of what we doubt not will turn out to have been a very partial and insignifi- • cant affair : " A kaccount front the Austrian head-quarters at Iticti, of the Bth March, says — ' the enemy, to the number of 9.000 men, advanced yesterday, the 7th, in the direction of Rieti, and attacked the corps under the command of Gen. Count Walmoden.— The third of the advanced guard of this General was sufficient completely to beat the Neapolitan corps, which fell back upon Civita-Ducale, in the greatest disorder. A second column of the enemy came from Lioneesa, and attacked near Pie-di-Lugo, Cu'. Schnieder, who had need of only half a company of chasseurs to disperse them completely, It was only the night and the precipitate flight of the enemy which hindered our troops from profiting by aU their . advantages. These two actions have already sufficed to make many prisoners, among whom is a Capat of the staff of Gen:Pepe. The Neapolitans being vigour ously repulsed, fell back in a confusion which the night served to augment. Our troops entered at ten o'clock at night into Civatas Durale, which the enemy }nut pillaged before they retreated. One cannon and two caissons were taken, The Austrians have been webs:ped at Civita-Ducale as deliverers. The spitit of the inhabitants of' the Abbruxas is excellent. Our loss is estimated at 50 men. A Captain of the 7th bat talion of chasseurs-was killed, and two other officers . wounded.' A letter from Paris states, that personrare ae. • tively employed in various parts of France in Maim ing the disbanded officers and soldiers of Napoleon's army to repair to the standard of the Prince of Ca rignano, under the assurance that the Prince will gratethlly accept their services in assisting him to drive the Austrians out of Italy. The situation •f Piedmont, with respect to France, wig aff'ord the Prince the greatest facilities in recruiting his army with the French veteran troops, in the eevut of a war between Piedmont and Austria. On Friday last Mr. William Bsrrun, of Derby, corn-dealer, was convicted before the Borough Magistrate, in a mitigated penalty, fir not having on the 3d of March instant, delivered to Mr. Thos. Crayne, the receiver of assize returns, a true and exact return of the prices of all the wheat bought by hint in the borough of I)erby within seven days then preceding. COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE —On Tursday last st•vertil witnesses were end 11111 l ed as to the distress of the occupiers of Land.
