Great Fire in Paris.-In the afternoon of Monday the 31st July, a fire broke out in the Bourg de Bercy, (Paris,) near the Barriere of that name, in some warehouses containing wine and brandy. The origin of the calamity has been variously attributed to accident or How many hours could not be repressed by the utmost exertion of the military and populace, working all the fire-engines in Paris; in the deficiency of water the engines were at first supplied with wine, a lake of which, nearly fifty feet square, and more than a foot deep, was prepared by starting vessels rolled out from the neighbouring warehouses. Before the fire was fully subdued, twenty-four thousand butts of wine and seventeen warehouses had been completely destroyed. On Wednesday, the space on which these buildings stood, forming a quadrangle of 366 feet by 200, exhibited one uniform heap of smoking ruins, on which twenty engines were still playing. SPAIN. The ceremony of the convention of the General Cortes, and the King's solemn adjuration to the new constitution, took place at Madrid on the 9th July. A numerous concourse of all classes assembled on the occasion, who testified their joy by loud acclamations. The President of the Cortes addressed a spirited and flowery oration to the King, to which his majesty replied in a sensible, manly, and temperate speech, in which he entered at length into a perspicuous detail of the circumstances and relations of the Spanish monarchy, internal and external; and concluded with assurances of a disposition to maintain the freedom of the country at home, and its independence abroad. A proposition had been submitted to the Cortes for repealing the decree of March 1812, which excluded from the succession to the throne the Infantas Don Franciso Paulo, and Donna Maria Louisa, the Ex-Queen of Etruria; another for excluding from the succession Maria Louisa, Ex-Empress of France, and her descendants by Buonaparte; and one for restoring to their rights, as Spanish citizens, all the exiles from Spain in France. A petition from the widow of Gen. Lacy, to make the government furnish her with a copy of the official account of the proceed. ings against her martyred husband, was favourably received. The King has issued a decree of pardon with regard to the French, English, and Anglo-Americans, taken prisoners whilst fighting in the ranks of the South American Patriots. With regard to the English, the pardon is limited to those taken previous to the passing of the Foreign Enlistment Bill by the British Parliament. In the mean time, we find the King the object of the most enthusiastic popularity. Whenever he appears among his people, his presence is grected by the acclamations of thousands. His majesty is said to feel sensibly the happiness of the change that has been effected in his situation. The people of Spain mark in every way their enthusiasm for the constitution, and even every article of fashionable dress now bears the distinctive appellation of La Constitucion. ITALY.-Revolution in Naples.-The example of Spain, in throwing off the yoke of a superannuated tyranny, has been faithfully and successfully copied by the people of Naples. The fate of these two governments, which presented each the extreme of internal despotism, united with the last degree of external weakness, affords a lesson which for ages to come will powerfully influence the happiness of Europe. The tyranny of Naples, like that of Spain, has fallen by that Army in which it placed its trust, to the exclusion of any reliance upon the affections of its subjects. Great dissatisfaction, it appears, had been long prevalent in this country among all classes; and the troops had participated in the ge neral spirit which pervaded the community. At Palermo the discontents had assumed a threatening aspect, and preparations were making to send a part of the garrison of Naples to the island, when, on the 6th July, a deputation of the regiments in garrison intimated to the Commander in Chief the unanimous resolution of the army to have a representative free constitution. His majesty, alarmed at these manifestations, yielded to their application, and promised to prepare for them a free constitution within a week-his ministers were dismissed, and persons chosen in their room, who possessed the confidence of the troops and the people. The revolution was in this manner effected without bloodshed, and couriers were immediately dispatched to the different Courts of Europe. The chiefs of the revolutionary party, however, were dissatisfied with the proposed delay of a week in forming the basis of a new constitution, and insisted on the immediate adoption of the Spanish constitution. On the morning of the 7th, the second day of this great political crisis, a negotiation was opened, and the King, on the ground of ill-health, and the advice of his physicians, resigned the functions of government into the hands of his eldest son, the Duke of Calabria, with the title of Vicar General. The Duke issued a proclamation, promising the immediate adoption of the Spanish constitution. This promise, however, was not held satisfactory. To make assurance doubly sure, another proclamation was issued on the night of the same day, by which the King confirms the promise of his son; and they both further undertake to swear to it, with all due form and solemnity. The troops then began to return to the city, and on the 9th, Gen. Pepe, the leader of the insurrection, arrived with part of his forces. On that day a proclamation was issued, forming a Provisional Junta of 15 members, until the installation of the national parliament. Five of them were named, with authority to prepare a list of twenty others, from which ten are to be selected to complete the number. Gen. Pepe is one of these five, and is also appointed Commander in Chief of the army. The troops have mounted the tri-coloured cockade, and the tri-coloured flag waved on the guard-house of the civic guard. All these measures had been carried quietly into effect. This extraordinary revolution is described as having been produced entirely by the Carbonari, a great, but, before the revolution, a necessarily secret society of the Liberales of Naples and Italy. The prime mover is stated to be Louis Merichino, a priest of Nola, a distinguished literary character, and a man of genius and resolution. On the 13th July, the oath to the new constitution was taken by the King, and the hereditary Prince, with the attendant ceremonies, and amidst universal acclamations. In the evening of the same day, however, about 300 of the Farnese regiment, who had expressed themselves discontented with the excess of duty, broke into mutiny, and commenced their march out of the city. A body of cavalry pursued them, and they were completely routed with the loss, some accounts say, of 100 men, others 36. The survivors were brought back and placed in confinement. The punishment of decimation, it was expected, would be inflicted on them. One of the last schemes of the Neapolitan government for overawing the army and the nation, was to publish on the 4th July, two days before the revolution broke out, a note from the Russian government. In this note is expressed, in very unequivocal terms, the Emperor Alexander's disapprobation of the late events in Spain, and considering that this monarch possesses above half a million of troops, trained, not to think, but to act in blind obedience to his orders, his disapprobation is no light matter. He expresses profound affliction at the Spanish revolution-anticipates all the evil consequences from it which too frequently attend revolutions, and concludes with informing the Spanish ambas. sador, that the measures which Spain may now pursue will determine the nature of the relations which shall in future subsist between its government and his Imperial Majesty. In this note a hint is also thrown out of a coalition among the European powers to address to Spain, with one unanimous voice, the language of truth. The States of the North of Italy are said to be strongly disposed to imitate the example of their brethren in the south. A letter from Rome, of the 29th July, mentions that there had been a revolt at Ponte Corvo, (a town belonging to the pope,) and at Benevente, where the insurgents, amounting to 700 in number, had hoisted the tri-coloured flag. GERMANY. It appears that the news of the revolution in Naples has produced a considerable sensation in Germany, where many are eager for change. The court of Vienna was particularly active in dispatch. ing couriers for Italy. It is stated, that there were letters in that city from Paris, dated on the 1st ult. (before the revolution broke out,) which foretold it accurately. It is added, that the Austrian cabinet would adopt energetic measures to secure its own possessions in Italy. PRUSSIA. The people of Berlin are beginning to manifest serious uneasiness at the protracted postponement of their long promised Constitution. Some popular disturbances, accompanied by broils between the people and the soldiery, agitated Berlin during the evening of the 11th, and some subsequent evenings of last month. The commencement of the tumult is attributed in the official, as well as in private accounts, to a drunken squabble between some workmen and the keeper of a tavern, when the latter called in the assistance of the military guard, and caused his antagonists to be arrested. The seizure of these men collected a crowd of their comrades and other persons, who undertook to rescue them. The troops used their arms to drive off the crowd, but were themselves repulsed. Other troops came to their assistance, but the people were again victori. ous. General Tauenzien, and the General Commandant Branchetfelz, found it accessary to bring into action the horse gensdar mes, by whom the multitude was at length dispersed. This occurrence took place on the evening of the 11th, but for some succeeding evenings the people again assembled in the streets; and on the 13th, an order of police was issued, to prohibit all meetings in the streets, even for the most innocent purposes. It is stated that several persons were wounded in the contest. NETHERLANDS.-At Amsterdam, a Mr Wibmer has been sentenced to six years' imprisonment, for an alleged abuse of the liberty of the press. It is not said what was the object of the publication which has been thus severely visited. AMERICA. The Journals of the United States contain intelligence from the Spanish Main to the 30th May. A conspiracy had been detected at Valencia, the head quarters of Morillo, to take away the life of that General by poison. Upwards of a hundred individuals had been apprehended, and among them twenty females. The principal, Alcaide, had been shot; and Zabeleta, the mistress of Morillo, who was to have administered the poison, it was supposed would suffer a similar fate. General Bolivar is stated to be at Quito, with 8000 men, The greater proportion of this force is said to have joined him on his march from New Granada. General Santander, with the advanced guard, is stated to have taken possession of Cuenca, 50 miles from Guayaquil. This intelligence is in some measure corroborated by the arrival of a merchant vessel with letters from Valparaiso, dated in April, stat ing the great success of Bolivar, and that his forces had appeared on the west coast of South America. The accounts from Buenos Ayres, received in America, mention that another revolution had taken place there, and that General Alvear had fled for protection to the Province of Entre Rios. PROCEEDINGS OF PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-July 19.-Lord Erskine presented a petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of London, in Common Council assembled, against the course of proceeding with reference to the Queen. The petition was read, and on the motion that it do lie on the table, the Earl of Lauderdale moved that the petition be rejected. This was opposed by the Duke of Hamilton and Lord Helland, and supported by the Earl of Liverpool and the Lord Chancellor; the petition was then rejected [The proceedings in this House, as well as in the House of Commons, regarding the charges against the Queen, are noticed at a subsequent page, in the Chronicle.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.-July 11-A motion was made by Dr Lushington for the production of copies of all the corre spondence in the possession of Government relative to the project ascribed to the French Administration, of placing a Prince of the House of Bourbon on the Throne of Spanish America. The motion was opposed by Lord Castlereagh and Mr Canning, and supported by Sir J. Mackintosh, and was ultimately withdrawn. July 12.-Leave was granted to Messrs Brougham and Denman to attend at the Bar of the Lords, as her Majesty's Counsel, against the Bill now pending; the motion was so worded, as to prevent this permission being drawn into a precedent. Dr Lushington also stated to the House, that her Majesty had been pleased to command his services; he, therefore, applied to the House to have the permission extended to himself. Lord Castlereagh expressed his readiness to extend permission to any Gentleman on either side, whose services should be required. But Mr Wynn and Mr Banks opposed the Learned Doctor's application. The Hon. Members were, however, content to give their negative to the motion, without taking the sense of the House on it. On the motion of Lord Castlereagh, leave was also given to his Majesty's Attorney and Solicitor General to attend. It was understood that all the Gentiemen thus indulged would, by acting as advocates, forfeit their power of taking any part in the determination of the great question at issue, either by vote or otherwise. July 17.-Dr Lushington brought forward a motion respecting a service of plate presented to the Queen by his late Majesty, which, during her absence on the Continent, was placed in the custody of Mr Mash, of the Chamberlain's Office; and her application for its being returned was refused, on the ground that it was the property of the Crown. The Doctor moved for a copy of the correspondence on the subject. Lord Castlereagh argued that the late King could never have intended to make it a personal present to the then Princess of Wales, as he had no more power to do so than to alienate the Crown Lands, it being the property of the Crown as attached to a Royal Palace, and some of it having actually belonged to King William. It was therefore merely intended for her use, like the other furniture of Kensington Palace, while she resided there in the year 1808, and was never intended by that use to be detached from that establishment. Mr Huskisson corroborated this statement. This explanation was quite satisfactory to the House, and Dr Lushington's motion was negatived without a division. question of right was thus set at rest, and the more popular one, of its being a vexatious denial, in order to distress her Majesty, was no less decisively settled, by the promise of ministers that a suitable service of plate would be provided, whenever her Majesty might be pleased to fix upon a proper residence. The July 25.-Mr Wetherall brought forward a motion relative to a gross libel on her Majesty, which had appeared in an Exeter Newspaper called Flyndell's Western Luminary. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman's motion at first had for its object that the Attorney-General should be instructed to prosecute the printer; but, on the suggestion of the Speaker, the motion was altered to a resolution that the paragraph was a breach of privilege. The resolution was subsequently withdrawn on the statement of Lord Castlereagh, that the article in question was already under the cognizance of the Attorney-General. |
