They furnish very little, intelligence. ~ 1 The London Courier of the 21st states that the last Paris papers con tain a letter from Madrid of the 8th in w hich it is mentioned that a fresh conspiracy had been discovered and was to have broke out on the 9th. The fact of the Austrians having crossed the Po seems to he confirm ed. An article, dated Home Feb. 4, says, "every preparation has been made along the load which the Austrian troops are expected to take. The advanced guard is ex pected in tins city between the 15th, and 20th." ? A private letter from Laybach, datetHKeb. 3, mentions a report that the British minister there had delivered in a note, of so impor tant a character, that it produced an extiaordinary assembling of the Con gress. The result of the delibera tions was immediately laid before the emperors of Austria and Russia, and Prince Metternich dispatched extraordinary couriers to Treviso, Milan and Home." . The Queen's annuitv bill has ex cited & considerable debate in the House of Lords, and it appears to lie the determination of ministers to fix it at 50,000/. Her friends ap pear to be satisfied with it, and made but a feeble eflbil to increase it. To the politeness of a commercial house of this place we are indebted for the annexed circular. LIVERPOOL, FEB. ?4. In the early part of this week the demand continued very moderate, and the market would have worn a , dull and gloomy aspect till yesterday, owing to the absence of the ordina ry competition of the trade had it sol been for the puichase of about 4000 Bowed:* by two houses, on speculation. This circumstance, in addition to the scarcity which had ? been felt for some little time past oi some particular qualities of Boweds, excited the attention of other buyers, both dealers and speculators; and this llescriptioa consequently became yesterday so much in request that full 2000 bags were taken, chiefly at a Might advance upon the prices oti the middle of the week, though not upon those of Saturday last. In the course of the wevk about 1500 or 1600 of this kind have been taken on speculation, making lUi5 whole business of the week about 7986 bags of which 236 were ISea Island and 5275 Boweds. bea Island, remarkably fine and cVean, is 8d a ?s 2d ; good clean aud line, 1* 6d a Is 8d 5 clean fair, not line, Is 4d a Is 5 1-Sd; middling, Is $ i-2d a is 312; inferior, is Id a Is 2 1 ?,d ; stained 10 a Is a is 8d;??

BALTIMORE, A PHIL 13. From Jiiu Janeiro. ? Capt. 1{ ear don, of the brig . htiphiov , arrived here yesterday in .71) days from Rio Janeiro, brings accounts that the day pre\ious to his departure the British packet Montague arrived at Rio from Bahia, bringing information that a Constitutional Government had been formed there ; and that, in an affray between the troops and people, snme lives had been lost. Tire particulars were not made public, but report said thai a Provisional Government had been estahlislred> and it was be lieved that the same was done at Pernambuco on the same day by pre vious arrangements. The governor was offered the Presidency pf the government, which he refused: the party in power then informed him they would call a Cortes forthwith* The packet w as fired iuto by the forts on leaving Bahia, and a shot entered the cabin, but no material damage w as done. ? Some time ago,, the Lisbon troops at Rio were offer ed promotion if they would enter the Brazilian lines; but out of all the regiments there, only twelve men and officers accepted the offer. The residue insisted upon being sent to Lisbon, w inch was promised them. Captain Reardon states that pre vious to his sailing from Rio, a ves sel had arrived there, from Lima, with intelligence that the Patriot ar tay under Gen. Han Martin, had ex perienced a total defeat. j From Buenos Jlyres.?V rom Capt. Ilamilt on, of the brig (J&icpgo, ar rived here yesterday in 70 days from Buenos Ay res, we learn it was the general opinion at Buenos Ayres, v\ hen Capt. H. sailed, that the whole coast of Peru would be in the hands of the Patriots in the course of thirty days. The government of Buenos Ayres has been in a very confused ^tate, there b^ing from twelve to fifteen different Governors, during the last eight months! Capt. H. has brought Buenos Ayres gazettes of the latest dates, which contain all that is interesting from that quarter. 1'he brig Canada, Gibson, was to sail from Monte Video for Baltimore, about the ?>;h of February. Since the above was in type, we have been favored with a file of Buenos Ayrean papers to the 11th January. Their contents, if of suf ficient interest, will Ire translated for publication. Capt. II. informs us, that in one of the papers brought by him, (hut which is not in the file handed to us) there is a detailed ac count of t lie desertion of a regiment of about 800 men from the royal ar my of Lima, all of w horn went over to San Martin. At Buenos Ayres the fail of Lima was regarded as certain ? under that belief, merchants were preparing to leave there, in or jder to go to the latter place.? ?Ame rica)?. We learn by extracts from a late London paper, that Lady IL L. Stanhope, niece of the late Mr. Pitt, now leads a sort of monastic life on Mount Lebanon, and refuses to see any of her country men. Lady S. is about 40 years of age, and is, perhaps one of the most extraordi nary characters of the puseiit day. She abandoned the company of the first families in Kitglaud, and allied herself to the Arabs, of vliicli she was afterwards appointed chief.?

The article hereto annexed is intended to accoin plish that end.

The events of the 8th of March in Spain, those of the 2d of July in Portugal, the catastrophe at Naples, neces6trily jfrreduced, amongst all those who had an eye to the tranquil lity of nation*, a deep sentiment of inquietude and pain, and a desire to unite and co-operate to avert from Europe all the evils ready to burst upon her. It was uatural that this desire and this sentiment should he more lively iu the governments which not long ago had conquered the revolutionary spirit, and who saw it at this day re -appearing triumphant. lfc was still more natural that to repulse it a third time these govern ments should have recourse to the1 means which they had so happily employed in the memorable struggle, in wliich Europe had seen them break the yoke under which it had ? g% A grc that this union of the principal pow ers formed in the midst of circum stances the most critical, crowned with the most brilliant successes, per petuated finally by the acts of 1814, 1815, and 1818 ? that this union, which has prepared, founded, and completed the pacification of lift* world, having delivered the Conti nent from the military despotism ex ercised by the man of the lievolu-, tion would, in like maimer, deliver it from a new power, not less tyran nical and not less disastrous. ? from tbe (lower of crime and of revolt Such have been the motives and the object of the Congress of Trop pan. The first ought to he so gen erally telt as not to require a longer explanation; the latter is so honorable and so useful that the wishes of all must, w ithout doubt, accompany the Allied Courts in their noble entei prize. vV The task which duties and en* gagemcnts the most sacred impose upon them, is vast aud ' difficult ; |^ut favorable presages permit them to believe, that thev ^ will be able to accomplish it,* by acting in the spirit of the Treaties, bv which the) had restored peace to Europe and established a general alliance among alllhe European governments. The Allied Powers have availed themselves of an incontestable right, in deciding to take common measures of precaution and restraint (rtpre** sion J towards states, the confusion of which, wrought by revolt, regard ing it only in the light of an exam ple, would lie an act hostile to all legitimate institutions and governs ments ; towards states which above all, not content with their own cala mities, seek by their agents to com municate them to other countries, and endeavor there to introduce disorders and insurrection. {< The position and the conduct*! these states constitute a manifest in fraction of the covenant, which gua rantees to the European governments, ' * of others, hav e coucurted to spread a ml accredit, on the object and l Iu with the integrity of their territories, ?? in iti nte nance ol those pacific re asons, thj^first effect of which is to exclude e\*i the idea, of their doing e..ch other au injury. 1 his irrefragable fact ought to he the point of departure of the Allied Cabinets. ? Inconsequence the Plen ipotentiaries, who could receive at froppau the orders of their Sover eigns, have determined between tliem, and submitted to the deliberations of the courts of Paris and London, the principles to be followed towards slates who submit to a violent alter ation in the form of their inteiior regime, as well as the means, whe ther of conciliation or of force, pro per to restore to the bosom of the alliance such of these states as they can exercise a salutary and efficaci ous agency upon. As the Revolution at Naples strikes deeper rout every day ; as no other menaces more sensibly and im mediately the tranquility of the neigh- ! l)oi ing states, or can be reached by 1 ways more-direct x*r prompt, the con- j venience and necessity are admitted of making to the Kingdom of the lwo Sicilies the immediate applica tion of the principles which have been indicated. lie fore dismissing, with regard to him, measures of a conciliatory na tare, t he Sovereigns present at Trop^ pair have addressed to his Sicilian Majesty an invitation to join them atfj Lay bach ; a step the only object of ' w hich 1ms been to set free the will of his Majesty, and to engage him j to interpose his mediation between i his deluded peo'ple ami the countries ] whose repose they coinppoiuit. Decided not to recognize govern-J ments infatuated by sedition, the Sovereigns could not enter into an intercourse, but wiih the King in peVson. Their ministers at Naples have v jpceived correspondent orders. France and England have been invited to join in this proceeding. ? They will without doubt the less re fuse to do 80; inasmuch as that Die principle, in virtue of which it has been resorted to, is strictly conforma ble to Treaties solemnly ratified by these two powers, and thai it offers - the sure proof of the most just and pacific views. The system Concerted between Austria, Prussia, and Russia, is not a new system. It presents only a faithful application of maxims con secrated by the transactions which gave birth to the Holy Allianc^* Far from weakening the intimate union of the t-ourts which form the centre iff this alliance, this system cannot but fortify and consolidate it. It will strengthen it as it hgts been established, conceived by the same cabinets, and successively adopted by t|ie powers, who have acknow ledged tire advantages of it. '-' The reality of these advantages ought not to be called in auestion, ? It has been, moreover, clearly de monstrated, that it is neither thoughts of conquest, nor a desire to assail the independence of tiiWr govern ments in what concerns their inter ior administration, nor that of pre venting wise and voluntary amelior^ ations conformable to the true inter-" est of the People, that have dictated the detcrminkmns of the Allied Powers.. They wisli only to main tain peace, to preserve Europe, from (lie scourge of revolutions, to repair and prevent, as for as depends on them, the disorders which are indu ced by a forgelfulness of all the principles of order and of morality. On these grounds, the Powers may flatter thepisel ves that an .unanimous approbation will recompense them for their cares and their exertions. Domestic .
