FR ANCE. PARIS, FILBRUARY 14. Prince joreph Napoleon has written to the Empe ror, from the headquarters at Capua, to inferm him that, according to his orders, he had farmed the army in three divillons: the centre of which had marched, under the command of Marna(' Mailina, by San Germeno and Capua ; that the right divifion, under the command of General Regnier, had marched by Terracina and Gaeta ; and that the left divifion, competed of Italian corps, commanded by General Lecehi, has proceeded by Mi. General Regnier, on his arrival at Gaeta, fent the following fummons to the Prince of Hate, who com manded the place: • to my entering on thofe operations which *tuft make me mailer of the place which you command, I recom mend you to r.ficd upon your fituation, and the neceflity which dilates your furrender of the place to the army. Your garrifon It very fmall ; your meant of defence few; and you can entertain ho hope of fuccoar. In a few days, I flp:11 reduce you to the left extremity; and you mutt be well 'war:, what t►e garrifon, and the inhabitants, wiU then have to fuser: You waft be fenlible, that the •idorioui starch of the French army defies all oppodaion : that, in a very Mort time, the kingdom will be conquered, and change Its starter. To-day, General, I will grant you a capitula tion, With the honours of war. I recommend you to return an Immediate anfwer by my Alde-de•Camp. Tonight, it will be too lam b u I cannot delay the operations spina Gaeta. " I have the beanie, Ste. Ste. (SiSped) 1 ' aectuse." THE ANSWER. Climeral-Qtaving received from the King repeated order' to Weed dd. thee to the hdt extreadty, and being (applied with all the seam to do It, nothing is leIE toe bat to obey. I cannot, there for' temp the aepltolatlem which you offer, and sai determined Op gook the emeldatee veld& the King bas pheett in me. But setwitfillan Itae, 0014111, I have the honour. &e. (piped) " Prim of Hine.* On the receipt of this anfwer, General Regnier ordered an attack to be made on the redoubt of St. Andrew, which was defended by fix pieces of cannon, and took it. General Grigny, an officer of difinc• tion, loft bis bud by a cannon ball on the occafion ; be is much regretted by the army. Fast trait' t 2.—The centre diviner' invened Carta, which anfwered to the Commons, by a difeharge of artillery. On the morning of the tstb, deputies from the city of Naples prefented themCelves to the Prince, and figned the delivery of Gaeta, Capua, Pifcara, Naples, and other ftrong places. General Partouneaux entered Naples, and the forts were immediately occupied. On the isth the Prince Jofeph fet off for that place. The Neapolitan officers having requefted to ferve, the Pi inee formed feveral Neapolitan Corps, and ordered the Neapolitan officers who were in the pay of the kingdom of Italy, to en. ter into it. He named M. Pignatelli, Lieutenant Co.. I land in a Neapolitan regiment of dragoons, Colonel of the 6rft Neapolitan regiment of light infantry. Prince Jofeph has been at Caterta, and was very much pleafed with the beauty and magnificence of that palace. When the firft operations of terror had Ibblided, the people of Naples expreffed uncommon regard for the French, while they abfolutely bate the Engliffi j a nation which is dctefted, as it ought to be, throughout the Continent. 44 The Emperor was prefent at the reprefentation of At eite when he received the news that his army bed entered Naples. He accordingly gave orders that thb news mould be announced by Talma, after the fira MI, and the puniihment of the Qneen of Napies' perjury. 41 The leaden fceptre of this modern Athalie is for ever broken. The fineft country in the world will, in future, have a firm and liberal Government. The Emperor will re•efablifh the Kingdom of Naples for a French Prime; but be will re.eflablifh it on the laws and the interefts of the people, and on the grand principle—that the exiftenee of the Throne, the fplen dor and power with which Sovereigns are furround. ed, as well as their hereditary character, and the perpetuity of their rights, are inftitutions framed for the service and the organization of the people. Eu rope will with plealure behold expelled from her Throne, a Queen who has fo greatly abufed the fo. vereign power, whore Reps have been marked by re volutions, by perjuries, and by blood. She is as mica hated and clefpifed at Vienna as fhe is at Na ples; and her memory is already the fubjeel of hiftory, for the new kingdom of Naples will in future be a part of the Federative States of France, and that Empire mull be fhaken to its foundations before it can be touched. In this acquifition France cannot be, with jutlice, accufed of ambition. What could fhe do more than grant three fueseflive pardons in the fpace cf oily a few years; and what treaty could the enter it.to wi th a Power %silo had fo lately torn in pieces, within twenty.five days after it had been rati. fed, a treaty tiie molt fn!cmn io ittelf, and the molt favourable to its .iwn intcreds ? a The honour of France, and the nature of things, have precipitated the ruin of the Throne of Naples, !Ince it was become impollible to conclude another treaty with her. &fides, the piiffelfon of the Thrones Of Milan and of Naples, by'French Princes, is hardly on equivalent for the occupation of the Thrones of Naples 'and Spain by French Princes of the third a A, to the kingdom of Naples, the lean of its ad vantages will he to enjoy a free commerce, and no longer to be liable to the piracies of the Algertnes. —gut the firit will be, to be Oo looser expokd as a theatre of war; and to be governed on principles! fuited to the happinefs and intereit of its people, and nut by outrageous and diforderly portions. " It is, however, to the honour of the Neapolitan people, that the principal agents of the downfall of it. Throne, were Tufcans and Foreigners. M. Mion i, known to have been an Englifliman, both from inclination as well as birth ; that he had fixed his property in England, and he only meafured the in• tereils of Naples by thole of England. We may venture to fay, without the gift of pro phecy, that the Houfe which has of new factificed the tranquillity and the happinefs of a vail country to the artifices or the guineas of covetous and infati aisle plot-connivers, will lofe the throne, amidft the pplAufe of every fubjeft of that vaft country, which, after being too long dilturbed with revolutions, has at laft began again to need repofe, and which (hall no longer fuffer from the intrigues of a vain glorious nation !-!"---Afvoirrar. In the fame Moniteur is contained the capitulation of Capua, Pefcara, the forts of St. Elmo, de l'cEuf, del Carmina, and the &ay and City of Naples; in the laPt are the following articles : _ _ _ 6 , His Imperial Highnefs, Prince Jofeph, gives his word of honour to the Duke of Campo Chairo, and the Marquis Malefpina, on the part of the Govern ment of the city of Naples, that all the troops who have defended the forts and the city shall march out with the honours of war, laying down their arms when outfide of the city. The officers are alto to retain their fiords, and both officers and foldiers, the whole of their baggage. AU the regular troops are comprehended under this article. The foldiers and officers fhall have liberty to go where they pleafe. 44 His Imperial Highnefs, Prince Jofeph, Liente tenant to the Emperor, promifes prole Lion and fecu rity to all the inhabitants a Naples and the provinces who fubmit themfeves to the arms of the Emperor of the French . and he will fubdue, by force of arms, thole who endeavour to difturb the public peace. " A divifion of the army fhall immediately take polliffion of the forts to enfure the fulfilment of thefe articles by the Neapolitan troops." FURL/ART 26.--Marfhal Betbier has fent . to the Emperor the following fuits of armour, taken from Außria : Complete armor at Francis I. for hbisfelf and his both, with his portrait, taken at the battle of Pavia.
