Military law was proclaimed, a id a strong guard planted in every part of the city : on the Polite Real, opposite the Exchange, the caution, loaded with grape shot, were nutted towards the city; and the soldiers had orders to fire on the least alarnn.— ln meanwhile the Genoese preserved a stern and resolute silence, the constant forerunner of a storm in Italy; it'was generally said that the city was sold to the A tstrians, but that they should buy it dearly: At night, on some slight alaiun a pistol was fired near the Gover nor's palace; on which the cannon began tirmg ; and there being none of the citizens in the square, fourteen eddies were killed, and some others wounded. On the morns tag of the 23t1 the same appearance continued in the city : the Governor's emissaries were at work sowing dice snots between the soldiers and the people, and be. twee.i:the different regiments ; on the other hand, a party 0150 students, who having given a dinner to 50 officers in honour of the constitution, were marked for webgestice, and were eager to increase the number of Slier adherents. It was at last resolved upon to quell She approaching revolt by the sword, when at 12 o'clock a cry of " Long live the cousti 111 l ion" was heard near the square of the Exchange, shouted forth by the ma. rinse. The guard before the palace presented their bay 'nets; but at this moment the officer command ing them was pushed against the wall by four /Jeanne, who, presenting a pistol at his breast, whispered in French---" Long live the constitution,' and make your 'withers do the same, or you are a dead Mitl3." The officer rephed by instantly obeying the order ; his example was followed by his troops, who threw down their arms after firing a feu de joie, and em trust' the people, who, assisted by the corps of mariiits, seise lon the Ponce Reale, and turned the c moon again towards the sea. Another party rushed into the palace, and were dragging the Governor down :lairs with loud execrations, when too young Genoese merchants, named Peraguallo and Chiaccalugo ' forced their way thrsugh the crowd, and taking hold of the Governor, led him its safety to the house of Chiaccalugo, on the Piazza Caminito, where, under the bayonets of the self cons tutted national-guard, who had taken possession of the aims at me arsenal, and amidst the shouts of sit im men e populace deniandittg his head, he signed a paper resits thug his authority into the hands of a junta, all Gen sae.

The next day the Governor was carried to the palace, where he re mained under the strict custody of the national guard. The revoluorm was unpolluted by any act c): 11:tittder or revenge.

When the account came away, all was tranquil. REVOLUTION AT BAHIA. Letters have been received from Bahia, dated the 12th of February, containing an accowit of a revo lution accomplished there iu favour of the present Government. The follmving is tilt: copy of a reso lution adoped I.y the penaniz, uho took the lead in bringing about t his The commanders and officers of the troops of the line, composing the garrison of the city set Bahia, assembled in the Praza de l'alacio, in the prt,er.ce of the Governor, Captain Gen. Count de Palma, being anxious to :mad any effusion of blood, which unfortunately might be the consequence of commotions occasioned by the fears of the people, less the desire they have FLANDERS AND DUTC lIMAILS. CORFU, MARCH 13.—The Commissioners formed by order of the Government of the 17th of January, condemned to six years' imprisonment Anastacius Peta (surnamed Cuchi) as an accomplice of Antonio Martinengo : the Lord Commisssoner has ordered the execution of the sentence. Sir Thomas Mait land then dissolved the commission, and ordered all the persons arrested to be set at liberty, on condition of their giving to the government of Zante security for their good conduct in future. Pietro Logotelli and Dionesio Platimessi are expected, from this measure, nut to be permitted to return to Zante till after the lapse of a year. FRANKFORT, APRIL 15.—An order, emanating from the cabinet of Berlin, decides that the French laws are no longer to be applied in cases of high treason in the Grand Duchy of the Lower Rhine. It is affirmed that the Eitiperor of Russia, who, as we before mentioned, has expressed to the Grand Duke of Hesse his satisfaction with the represent ative constitution which is now established in his dominions, has likewise approved of the new constitu tion which the Duke of Oldenburgh leas had drawn up for his dominions. His Serene Highness had consulted his Imperial Majesty on the basis of the Constitution. To give an idea of the manner in which the pre sent political situation of Europe, and Germany in particular, is considered in our diplomatic body, we quote the copy of a report sent within these few days by a legation to its court. It is as follows: Since the Neapolitans had shown a cowardice sur passing every thing that their adversaries dared to hope, things have taken a very remarkable turn.— The monarchical principle has obtained a victory so decisive that the events in Piedmont have lost all their importance, and the fate of Italy is considered to be decided ; that the liberals of every description unversally disappear; that people cease to talk of constitutions; finally, that the only fear now re maining is, that the solid advantages that have been gained, almost without striking a blow, may not be wisely turned to an account. The moment is come when it is possible to give with a good grace, and without being constrained to it, those institu• tions which the voice of the age demands, and which may be granted without injuring the royal power, as the example of Wurtemberg and Batavia prove. INSPRUCR, APRIL 9.—Troops still continue to pass through this city for Italy. On the sth a division of the Emperor's hussars arrived, and on the following day a battalion of the regiment of Kaunas. LAUSANNE, Aram 12.—1 t may be interesting at this moment to know some particulars of the members who c.imposed the provisional junta 'at Turin.

(Signed) WILLIAM. THE EX-XING OF SWIMEN. We gave in our last the application of Gustavus Adolphus to obtain letters of naturalisation in Nor. way. That request was transmitted by the Norwe gian Diet to the reigning Monarch for his Untrue. tions, who gave the following reply : " His Majesty recognizes the loyalty of the intentions of the late K ing Gustavus Adolphus, but the act of the kingdom (rsiehsacle), the compact on which the union of the two untions is founded, points out the course which the Diet has to pursue. Policy in accordance with this compact, re poses on the fundamental principle, taught by mature herself, never to deviate in any manner from the true meaning and intention of a convect.' " The peninsula of Scatsdinavia forms a whole of which all the parts are united for the defence, the glory, and the honour of the country. The numerous families and Indivi. deals wbo constitute this whole feel the pressing ueceseity of mutual aid and support. " The security of social order, the guarantee of right of property, and other efeets which may be acquired by indus try; should be assured by the two legitimate authorities, the government and the legislature. The tranquillity of the North, the scrupulous observance of the constitution -by which the two nations are governed, are motives of which the petitioner himself will, without doubt, acknowledge the Importance. Mess, as well a. States, are sub j ect us destiny ; no thing escapes the protecting cure of the Most High ; amid when nations have compt•ged the organisation of their government, the duty of individuals is submission. " His Majesty mores the Diet of Norway of his entire good wishes. " Stockholm, Marries 17." A letter from Sierra Leone, dated Feb. 8, states the arrival there of Commodore Sir G. R. Collier, on the Ist of that month, from England, having on board Lieut.-CoL Burke, Acting-Governor of the Colony, and several other military and naval officers. The only captures of slave-traders made by the squadron during the rainy season, were two by the Thistle, Lieut. Hagan. Mr. Wrignt, Midshipman of the Tartar (late acting Lieutenant of the Myr, midon), died on the 6th of February, and Mr. M'Carthy, Captain's steward of the Myrmidon„ on the Bth The Myrmidon, Capt. Leeke, was to sail on the 10th, and the Tartar on the 11th of Feb. n cruises down the coast. Extract of a letter from a young gentleman, a midshipman in his Majesty's ship Tees, to his father at Borrowatonness, Scotland, dated Port Louis, Isle of France, Nov. 5, 1820:—" I was recently ordered into an open boat belonging to the Henrietta, tender to the Tees, which was cruising round the island to prevent the traffic in slaves with Madagascar. The boat was commanded by the master, Mr. Gordon; and we had been three weeks in her, when on the♦ 28th October, an unfortunate end was put to our cruise. The Henrietta heaving in sight, Mr. Gor. don wished to see the officer commanding her, when it coming to blow hard, and quite dark, our boat shipped at sea, and down she went. I could swim a little, and with great difficulty reached the reef. I immediately went to the barracks, and sent off a boat to save, if possible my unfortunate companions —but the night being dark, nothing could be seen of them. Next mot ning I went of myself, and rowed about to see if could get the bodies of our master and the men, when at a little distance I per. ceived a number of large sharks with something they had got; on nearing them, I perceived they were eating poor Mr. Gordon; I fired at one who had him, which let go its hold, and I assisted one of the men in getting the remains into the boat, when an immense large shark came from under the boat, and seized the remains from us. It sprang so high out of the water, that we saw almost its whole body Mr. Gordon is most deeply lamented by all in the Tees, and has left a wife and three ehildren to be wail their it t:parable loss."
