The arrival of the IJromo in
days from Liverpool has put us in
possession of dates from thence t<>
the 24th r.nd from London to 22d
Feb. two days later than our last
accounts. 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.

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.?
This may he reckoucd amongst one
of those obliquities of (he human
mind, that would be disbelieved if
Tound in the pages of romance. ?

View of the first results of the Con
ferences at Troppau.
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.
