's For nearly three months, the Neapolitans have solemnly promised us succours. How could we dare mistrust their promises ? Thtir Sovereign is connected by tics of Wood to the great matt to whom both he and myself owt ..very thing ; but this great man is at present less fortunate 1 I , Confiding in the word of Neapolitans, we were justified in hoping that the efforts we have hitherto made would not be lost, and that the enemy would soon be obligtd to retire beyond our frontier. People of the Kingdom of Italy, can you believe it ? The Neapolitans have thui betrayed all ot,r expec' tations and all our hopes ! Nevertheless, it was in pre senting themselves as allies that they penetrated upon our territory, and that they were allowed to occupy several of our departments: We have received them at brethi-en, we have eagerly opened to them our ma gazines, our public chests, our arsenals ) and our for tresses. And as the price of our sacrifices, as the price of our confidence, it is even upon that line where their arm ought to have joined ours, that they ex. tend their hands to strangers, and raise their standards against us. " flibtori will one day point nut all the intrigues, all the resources which were made use of to misleAd to this degree a Sovereign already too much distin guished by his valour, nut to possess all the other virtues of a soldier. a People of the IC:ingdom Italy; let us not dis simulate ; the defection of the Neapolitans has ertielly augmented the difficaties of our situation, but we do not fear to state it f—" the rapre'our situation is cliff- Cult, the more ought our courage to increase." " You will therefore rally under the son of your SOVehigll you will confide in the justice - and holi ness 'of your cause; yon will match at the voice of him whoioves you, and ivho has no other ambition thanto concur With all his means in incrtasing yot glory, and confirming your prosperity. " italiatisi they only are immortal in the esteem and the annals of foreign nations who know how to live and die faithful to their Sovereign and to their country ; faithful to their duty and their oaths , faith ful to gratitude and to honour.

The accounts of the Military operations of the gallant WELLINGTON'S Army come down to the 20th ult. They enable us to state that on the 12th the right wing, under the command of Sir ROWLAND HILL, commence(' offer sive operations : the whole of it was engaged with the enemy on the several days of the 13th, 14E11 and 15th. The result of these successive contests was the aban dAnment by the enemy of the Gave de Pau, with the Allied Army in their rear. The resistance made by SOTJLT'S army was feeble in the extreme no.thing like a general engagement was courted by the French, and it must excite the compassion of our Readers to learn that the greater part of the priscners taken are under 16 years of age. The progressive movements haring bec-n thus .11c cessfully made on the right, we must now look to the corresponding advance to the left. Lord WELLING- Tos himself was with that p In of theline on tlae the day, as we have above intimated, when the last advices were dispatched. - All the late accounts have concurred in stating, :hat every thing indicated preparations for active warfare. The movement of the right wing may be considered as the precursor to a general advance ot the line, and we may, therefore, soon expect portant intelligence from Lord WELLINcrou. The Lord Duncan, Captain ihrirturos, has arri ved at Harwich from Heltoetsluys, with upwards of sixty passengers; among whom are General TAYLOU And Captain BUNBURY—both are charged with dis patches. Report states, that Sir THOMAS GRAHAM had attacked and carried by assault, a third time, the Town of Merxham, with considerable loss to the enemy in killed and prisoners. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. --; CAPTURE OF THE CLORINDE FRENCH FRIGATE. • Yesterday we communicated the short Telegraphic notice which reached the Admiralty from Plymouth, respecting the Capture of a French Frigate. The name of the English frigate, which made this addi tional acquisition to the honour of our Flag, is the . EUROTAS, and not the ROTA, as originally commu nicated by the Telegraph. The EUROTAS carries 38 guns—the Clorinde 44. " PL Y MOU rH, MARCH 2. " His Majesty's ship EUROTAS arrived here this morning, under jury masts, having fallen in with the French frigate Clorinde, on the 25th ult. They en gaged until night, when the EUROTA.S had lost all her masts, and the Clorinde had oply her foremast stand ing. -During the night the EUROTAS got jury masts completely rigged, and was ready to snake sail and renew the action at day-light; no exertion had been made 1 .4 y the Frenchman, who, it is understood, had not even, cleared the wreck of the masts. The DRYAD and ACIIATES, who had seen the action at a distance, had come-up, ant the Clorinde was taken possession of. All the bravery and merit, however, rests with the EUROTAS, which ship had 20 killed and 40 wounded ; among the latter is Captain PHILLI MORE, who bad his lest arm badly shattered 'near the shoulder by a shot, but it is hoped he will do well., The Clorinde is said to have lost 120 men killed. The DaxAr, with this ship in tow, has passed this port for Portsmouth. 41 His Majesty's ship QUEEN CHARLOTTE, with Ad miral MaLcoues flag, arrived this morning, and anchored in Plymouth Sound, within the breakwater, where she rides in perfect safety, and well protected from south-west gales.: this is the first three decker which has run for Plymouth Sound instead of Caw -1 sand Bay, and it is understood that in future the line of battle ships will avail themselves of this excellent l anchorage now so well protected from the southern gales.--Came in the CLastexcE man of war, and the ACHATRS and MYRMIDON sloops of war, from a cruize. Arrived the Walsinghaan packet, from Pas sages, with dispatches from Lard WELLINGTON ; also arrived the MAGNIFICENT man of war, with the loss of I her fore-yard, and it is rvorted, 20 men." PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 3. Arrived his Majesty's ship CIitESSEY, frrm the Downs. Sailed the linos frigate, with a convoy for Plymouth. DEAL, MARCIt 3. Arrived the OLYMPIA cutter, with the Union, THOMAS, from St. Michael's—she was captured yes terday by the Duke of balmatia French privateer, and recaptured last night off Dungeness by the OLYM PIA ; also several other ships, under convoy of the ONYX gun-brig. Arrived the DE:t••ENnER and VOLK STONE loggers, with dispatches from Admiral YOCNG. By the arrival of the DIADEM from Bermuda, after the short voyage of 18 d lys, accounts have been ob tained from Halifax and the United States. At the Island nothing of importance had transpired, but about ten days before the sailing of the frigate, an ac count had been brought of a severe action in the Gulph, the particulars of which are not known. It is within probability that another of the French fri gates may have been concerned in this affair. The fleet from England, under convoy of the SEVERN fri gate, had arrived. The PLANTACTINEW had sailed for the Chesapeake. SECOND EDITION.

No fewer than 58 vessels have been fitted out at the port of Hull alone, for the Greenland and Davis' Straits Whale Fishery, this season. In consequence of the great importance of this branch of trade, and the extensive property and great number of valuable seamen therein, Government have determined to send for their protectkn a very strong fleet to each fishery, t o remain there during the whole season. It is mentioned that the expedition which was about to sail for Canada has been det.tined by orderb from the Admiralty. It consisted 4000 marines, the frames of three frigates, ;tnd 7(K) ship carpenters.— The conjecture in consequence of this unexpected suspension is, either that the nurihes are to be imme diately employed nearer home, or that the hope is confidently indulged of the restoration of peace with the United States, thruu l ;h the medium of the nego ciation at Gottenburgh. which would render the de fence of Canada nu longer necessary.
