I have received Edinburgh papers o the 9th,
containing London dates to the 6th April, two
days later than thoc by the Amity and Hector at
Ncw-Yoik. The following is a summary of their
contents :
The Paris papers of the 3d April contain the
sequel of the accounts relative to the submission
of the Capital, and some of the principal fortress
es of the kingdom of Naples, to the Austrians,
without a demonstration of resistance. On the
23d March, a column of the Austrian arm) en
tered the caniial, and defiled before the king's
palace, in presence of the Kcgcnt, the Duke of
Calabria, and his brother, the prince of Salerno.

his majesty attributes ihe evils that have betallcn
the people, to the blind obstinacy of the Kevolu
tionists. A royal ordinance was promulgated in
the king's name on the -i4th, appointing a pro
visional government. I he prince, duke of . ala
bria, who has hitherto exercised the functions of
royalty, is not named among the person who arc
to administer it, so thjt it is to be presumed his
authoiity and influence have fallen with the revo
lution. Telegraphic advices were also received at Pans
on the 30th April, Stating, that on the evening of
the 25th ult. the Lazzaroni assembled tnmultu
ously in the streets, and would have executed
summary vengeance upon the Carbonari who
could be found, had not their designs been frus
trated by the Austrian ; on the following day
tranquility was entirely restored.
No distinct information had been received as to
the progress of affair throughout the north and
northwest of Piedmont, or as to the operations of
gen. Latour about Novara. It was said that a dec
laration of the three Potentates of Austria, Kussia
and Prussia, against the Piedmontesc insurrec
tion, similar to that against Naples, would be
shortly published.
borne serious disturbances have taken place at
Genoa and although it is said tranquility had
been again restored, yet Ihe same account adds,
that "the storm threatens evils, and things have
occurred which have exasperated the people to
such a pitch that we have passed three very bad
days indeed." On the 23d March the people
laid hold of the governor by force, and dragged
him ;nto the city, but they saved his life, and
put him into prison, in order, they said, to be 4id

r Tn th British II oc of Commons on the 29th
of March, Mr. Hume moved for' an account at
tending the detention of Napoleon Bonaparte.
He said that the expenses of the year 1819, a
urecablr to an estimate in his possession, amount
cd to 449,674 pounds. He called for copies of
all the correspondence attcnuing nis acicnuon,
and also moved for an account of what England
had paid towards the same foi the last five years.
The motion was agreed to.
Sir Robert IVilton said he was anxious to take
the first opportunity which presented itself of
protesting in the most solemn manner against me
detention of Napoleon. (A laugh.) Gentlemen,
he said, might laugh, but he expressed the senti
ment of every just and humane man in Europe.
In his detention, he could see nothing but disho
nor, the violation of national faith, and the stain
of national character. He considered his im
prisonment a breach of faith, kc.
Mr. Crocker denied that England was guilty of
the slightest breach of' faith towards Bonaparte.
Sir U. ll'Hton said no law of nations could jus
tify his son being withheld from him ; that Bona
parte might say, what Mi'.hridates did to the Ro
mans, " Non sum 1 emissus sed rcversus, si non
credis, dimitte me."
Mr. Guulburn said the gallant general had made
an historical mistake ; Bonaparte himself said he
came to us as Themistoclcs did to the Persians.
(A laugh.)
The hon. C. . Hutchinson expressed his dis
approbation of the cruel and mean policy which
was pursued towards Napoleon ; it was equally
opposed to every principle of justice, humanity,
and honor. Was it befitting the British nation
that she should become jailer to the Holy Alii
ance ; that she should act in base subserviency to
the despots of the world ! After their flagrant
acts acts which deserved the execration of man
kind, he would ask ministers on what pretence
they would now declare the detention of Napoleon
was necessary tor tne uoerticsoi manKinn. na
poleon, even in the worst days of his power, never
was guilty of any aggression upon the liberties of
mankind half so dangerous or so daring, as the
acts which had recently marked the unholy coun
r.ils of the Allies. For 20 years, the allies had
been calling on their subjects to assist them a
gainst the tyranny of Bon iparte. He asked, how
was Italy treated ? On a principle, against the pre
valence of which the people of England, for 25
years, had been called upon to guard by spending
their blood and treasure. As the Allies had
broken all their promises, to detain Napoleon in
his present captivity was an act of unexampled
t v runny and oppression towards the . individual,
and dangerous, by its example, to the rest of man
kind.
It would be well for Austria or Russia, and the
despots of the Holy Alliance, to concur in an act
which so well agreed with their general charac
ter : but that we should act as the perpetual
gaolers of Napoleon was most horrible and dis
graceful. Half a million of money per annum,

Prince Don Pedro, about day break, appeared
on the Theatre Square, and the officers informed
him of tho-wishes of the troops and people that
they wanted'the constitution which might bo
given to Portugal by the cortes at Lisbon.
The Prince asked to be allowed to consult his
father, which being conceded, he rode off, saying
he would be back.dircctly. -The king, on being
informed of'the state of things, authorized the
Prince to comply witfi the people's wishes, and
he returned and promised the constitution requi

the gcr.tlemen'who had been previously nomina

which was afterwards confirmed by the king, and
all the rpyal family swore to observe the-constitution
that might be given to Portugal by the

were accordingly illuminations for nine nights,
