1W the ship South- Carolina, Eas
terly, arrived here yesterday in 49
days from Liverpool, London papers
of the 3d Jan. and Liverpool of ilie
6th, have l?een received being 4
days later than our previous advices.
The Courier of the 3d of Jan.
which is the latest London paper re
ceived, "contains a long list of loyal
addresses which were presented to
the King the day previous.
i"a us papers nau reached .Lon
don on Wednesday 3d January, of
the Sunday preceding. ? The most
important part of their contents re
lated to the proceedings of the Nea
politan parliament, iu reference to
the King's Message announcing bis
intention of repairing to Layhach, at
4he request of the allied sovereigns. ;
On the receipt of the/ letters from
Hie Emperors of Austria and Russia,
null the King of Prussia, to the
King of Naples, the* ministers of
the latter shewed, in the most une
? nuivocal manner, how much it would
<l Is, please them to see the King leave
IN* a? pies, or to hear him speak of any
of uer Constitution than that of Spain.
In this sentiment they, were fully an d
w armly supported by the people.-r
w,he parliament having assembled on
6th of November, they entered
a resolution " that the parliament
utterly devoid of the jnnver to
ent to the departure of the King,
(cept upon an understanding that
le said departure shall have for its
object, to support the Spanish Con
stitution, sworn to 'by all." ? The
vote upon this resolution was carried
with great acclamation ; and an ad
ydress to the King, setting forth at
l?|)gth, the views of the parliament,
^passed in a similar manner. ? In re
ply, the Puke of Campo Chairo ad
dressed to the parliameut a message
irom the King, in which his majes
? ty declared that he iiad no thought
of violating the Constitution to which
lie had sworn ; but still thought that
useful, in order to prevail upon the
Congress of Sovereigns to consent to
some modifications, which, without
compromising Ihe rir.hts of the' na
tion, might avert all causes of war.
This does not appear to have been
satisfactory to the parliament, and
Ihe six ministers of state gave in]
their resignations. On the 10th an
other message from the King was
lie said ? "I declare I will not go U>^
? ^ayimch except tor the purpose of
maintaining the Spanish Constitu-'
tion. ? After this -declaration, I de
sire that the parliament will decide
in positive terms, whether key mil
cdnsent to my being present ut tjie
Congress at Layhach ." ? The King,
it will he seen by the extracts which
follow* departed agreeably to the
wishes of the Sovereigns.

Extract of a firivate letter, dated Aafilea,

"We are in a momentous crisis;*
the departure of the King bag, given
vise to the greatest possible agitation.
Thia_ evening tlie populace are as
sembledin tumultuous groups in ti?e
Rue de Toleda, and in the public
squares. Two ^woclamatioris have
been issued, wiirch appear to have
had the effect of producing a little
calm.

at five o'clock, on 'board the English
ship Vengeur. The Duchess of
Berri French frigate, and an Eng
lish frigate, accompany his Majesty, \

FLORENCE, DEC. 19.
46 W e have received a despatch
from Leghorn, announcing that the
squadron^ with the King of Naples
and suite, is off that port. Pre|>ar&p
tioris are making here for tire recep
tion of the august traveller.
"No disorder has occurred in Na- -
pies. The Parliament abruptly
broke off its deliberations on tbe
modifications of the Spanish Consti
tution, in older to present it for the
King's sanction, previously to his I
departure. It is net known whether
his Majesty did sanction it, but it is
little probable."
The following urr Jnrther extract* from
French paper 9. ' '
" The French Chambers are ?till
occupied with the usual preliminary
formalities. Oti Thursday, the
King received a deputation of the j
peers, with the accustomed address,
in reply to the ro^al speech on open
ing the sessioi/, to which his Majes
ty gave the following reply :

this expression of the sentiments of
the Chamber of Peers. I see with
real satisfaction, the conformity of
its principles with mine. V
" 1 have said, and l* repeat, that
if I desire my days ttrohwged, it is
to consolidate the institutions which
I have given to my people* But
whatever may he the decree of Pr?f*
vidence, let us not forget thatmaxim
of our public law ? The King never
dies in France."
" The articles in these Journals
from Vienna, Frankfort, and Augs
burg;, announce that the public mind*
awaits, with intense anxiety, the al>^
prooching interview at Laybach. In

the direction of the war department

We have this morning received
-Pape rs direct from Madrid to the

that quarter, extracted from the Paris,

down to the SOtli. An angry address
from the municipality-- of Cadiz to
the King, complains thrft the public
peace is endangered by tumultuous
assemblages of the people, who de*
mand justice. The Municipality im
pute these popular clamours to the
continuance in office t>f various func

they declare, that tranqnilify depends
upon their immediate removal.

" An order <Vas given within these

that some cries or -exclamations,

comments, have induced the adoption
of this measure." %j

We have many apologies tofcnake to our
zctte. But, the state of the public high
ways- must, and, we hope,, will plead our
excuse. Tht p*per on which this number
is printed, was Jificen day's on the road
from Charleston; just etght mi/^perday l !
However, we are not alone in our com
plaints. The inconveniences sustained in
_lhe higher parts ,*>f Georgia, have been
such as \o call from the Editor of the Jour
nal the following observations:
|!^^^^WOulcl lioi>e that the experi
ence of tlte present winter, will con
vince the people of tins state, of the
propriety of spending a few dollars
on the impiovejBent 'of the roads.
Commissioners ami oveiseers of the
I roads have been appointed, laws
| have been passed to compel the peo
ple to work oi)them; and what is
the result? ask the traveller who
passes through our state. He will
tell yon, with a sneer of contempt,
\\ liich you are obliged to bear, be-]
cause you must acknowledge its
justness. The fundamental maxim
of the policy of this state 6eems to
be that men must serve the people for
nothing. Our . road commissioners,
and our river commissioners must
neglect their own business and at
tend to that of the state; and all
this without any prospect of reward
? (ltnce results the miserable %tate
of every thing connected with the
facilities of internal communication.
Make it the interest of men to at
tend to these things, and they will
then he b?tter attended to."
> 'y
Are theae observations applicable orno^
to the State of South-' Carolina ? If so, we
would add the words used by the Editor
the Washington, (Geo.) News.
"We will not dwell on the ad
vantages of good roads} they are
incalculable. In France, KngUnd,
and many other countries, roads and
canal** have been, and still tre in
a conliiiuft! improvement; and the
governments of those nations have
al wayP"tionsidered it as of the ut
mosi importance to national wealth
and prosperity, to encourage inter
nal trade and navigation, and Jo en
I sure, as much as the locality of the
contilry would admit ft safe and
ptompt conveyance of the product?
of the soil and manufactures, from
one end of the country to the oilier.
The season is too far advanced to
undertake the repairs of the roads;
but some plan \n ill have to he resort
>d to, either by the. people or the
[legislature, to render next winter,
the roads safe 1o our hard working
ycoun-n." ,
