2d of July, and of the disquietudes to which they had given birth, it was not the particular duty of the Plenipotentiaries of the Allied Sovereigns to make known the extent of that disquietude, or of the im portance of the causes which had given birth to it." In order to put this observation in its fullest light, and to make his Sicilian Majesty thoroughly ac quainted with the important considerations which were the motives of the determinations adopted by the Sovereigns, the following details are given : " The Revolution of Naples bore on the face of it a character sufficiently alarming to fix the attention of Sovereigns, as was the injury which it threatened to neighbouring States, to direct their measures. The means by which this Revolution was brought about, the principles announced by those who were declared its chiefs, its proceedings and results, were all calcu lated to spread terror among the States of Italy, and especially among those Powers more immediately interested in the repose of the Peninsula. The Aus trian Government could not regard with indifference a catastrophe whose incalculable consequences, over turning the order and tranquillity of Italy, might compromise the most valuable interests of Austria, and even threaten its security. " Faithful to the system invariably followed for seven years, the Court of Vienna conceived, under cir cumstances so important, that it would be fulfilling a duty which its situation and obligations rendered equally necessary by inviting its Allies to assist with their knowledge, and to deliberate in conceit, on questions worthy, in so many points of view, of se• riously occupying the thoughts and solicitudes of all Sovereigns. Meanwhile the Cabinets united at Trop pan could not consider the Revolution of Naples an entirely isolated event. They found in it the same spirit of turbulence and disorder which had so long desolated the world, and which they thought had been checked by the salutary effects of a general peace, but which unfortunately had sprung up again in more than one country of Europe, and which has once more re-appeared under a form perhaps less terrible at first sight than it appeared in former times, but more essentially dangerous to the maintenance of social order. Such considerations could not but impress (in the eyes of the Sovereigns) a character particularly grave on the events which had happened in the kingdom of the. Two Sicilies ; and they were thoroughly convinced that by occupying themselves with the most just and legitimate modes of re-esta blishing order in that kingdom, they should be labour ing at the same time for the general interest, the re pose, and the happiness of Europe, and for the dura tion of that peace which, after so many disasters and such great exertions, was finally consolidated by the Treaties of Vienna, Paris, and Aix-la-Chapelle. —ln fact, the Revolution of Naples has furnished the world with an example, equally instructive and de plorable, of what nations must expect who seek poli tical reform by means of rebellion and crime. Begun in secret by a sect whose impious maxims attack at once religion, morals, and all social ties, executed by troops who betrayed their oaths, consummated amidst violence and menaces exercised against the legitimate Sovereign, this Revolution can produce nothing bat anarchy and military despotism, which it has increased, instead of weakened, by creating a monstrous Administration, incapable of serving as a basis for any regular Government, incompatible with all public order, and with the first wants of society." [The conclusion of this State Paper is promised in a subsequent number.) NATIONAL PARLIAMENT EXTRAORDINARY, FEBRUARY is. [The opening of the Parliament is described pretty much in the same terms as in the letter which ap peared in The Star yesterday, and then follows the annexed Declaration.] " The National Parliament declares— " Ist. That it cannot agree to any of the propositions com municated to it on the part of their Riajesties the King of Prus sia and the Emperors of Russia and Austria—propositions tend ing to the destruction of the existing Constitution, and to the occupation of the Kingdom. " Y. That it considers itself incompetent to attribute to the free will of his Majesty any 4a, past or future, which may be contrary to his oaths confirmatory of the Constitution ; and con sequently it considers his Majesty, with respect to such acts, as pLiced in a state of coercion. " 3. That, during this state of coercion of his Majesty, the Duke of Calabria, Ms august son, shall continue Regent of the kingdom, according to the made pointed out by the Decree of the iOth ecember, 1820. " 4. That, in conformity with the declarations contained in the preceding Articles, and according to the Constitution, all measures be taken for the safety of the State." Considering the necessity of rendering more clear and manifest the principles of public law which re gulate the nation of the Two Sicilies, the Parliament declares— " Ist. That the Nation of the Two Sidles is the natural ally of those Nations which enjoy their own Constitutions or other wise; and that, according to the particular relations established by constitutional methods. " 2. That it dors net intermeddle with the government of other Nations, nor will it tolerate that others shall meddle with Its govetnmost ; and is deposed to employ all its means In order that. to other Power may recede from these principles. " 3. That the Nation offers an asylum to foreigners banished from their country on account of liberal opinions. “ 4. That it will never make peace with an enemy while oc cupying its territory." Referring to the 4th Article of the Constitution, which is thus conceived :—" The Nation is bound to preserve and protect, with wise and just laws, civil liberty, property, and other lefitimate rights of all the individuals belonging to it. Referring to the 6th and 7th Articles of the same Constitution, which are thus conceived That pa triotism is one of the principal duties of all the Peo ple of the Two Sicilies, and likewise justice and be nevolence." " Every native of the Two Sicilies is bound to be .faithful to the Constitution, to obey the laws, and to respect the Constituted Authority. " Considering that one of the wisest and justest laws for the preservation of liberty, property, and the rights of citizens, is that which informs and di rects the public spirit so as to increase the national force, and diminish that of the enemy :—Considering that the pretext set up by the persecutors of our Con stitutional (iovernment in the face of notorious facts is, Ist, That it has been the result, not of the na tional will, but of a sect, or of a military faction : gcl, That it is incapable of preventing anarchy: Sd, That it is subversive of the Throne :—Considering that the principal method adopted by our enemies to justify these pretexts, and to secure the issue of an unjust war against an innocent People, has been to eudeavour to 'divide the sentiments and feelings ofi LONDON.

They have enabled us to lay before our Readers, in a preceding `part, several interesting documents and details re specting the progress of events in a quarter to which all eyes are now naturally turned. The statement in the accounts received yesterday by express from Paris, that the Neapolitan Parliament had unanimously resolved to repel force by force, is fully.confirmed. War was resolved on in the Sitting of the 15th ult. Indeed, how could it resolve otherwise ? To have acceded to the insulting proposition that it should instantly dissolve itself, and acknowledge all its acts those offolly and rebellion, would have been tantamount to a confession that the_Neapolitan People ' ought to consider themselves no longer a Nation, but a set of slaves, justly fated to suffer under the lash of Northern bat barians ! Such a confession was not likely to be extorted from the Representatives of a People of so much spirit and firmness as were dis played in the accomplishment of the late Revolution; and war to destruction is the high-minded alternative with wh►ch they have replied to the demands pf the Despots ) and vindicated their claims, in the eyes of the world, to the character of a heroic, an indepen dent, and much injured Nation ! Among the auspicious circumstances with which the present accounts furnish us, there is one which we are particularly pleased to obverve. In the open ing of the Revolution, it will be recollected that Ge neral FILANGIERI, the son of the celebrates' writer of that name upon Legislation, was looked to as one .of the main props of the new system. His talents and gallantry, as an Officer, were highly spoken of. As the affairs of Naples, however, advanced, he gave up his command in disgust, in consequence of a quarrel with General CARASCOSA. We now learn that he has been publicly reconciled with his oppo nent, or rival—vowed the most cordial co-operation in repelling the enemy, and resumed his command. Nor was this the Only instance in which this interest ing spectacle presented itself, and in the eye of the Army. Several other Officers who had personal quarrels have sealed their reconciliation with vowj to die in defence of the common cause. The Neapolitan Ladies, too, have made the sacri fice of their jewels, and other valuable ornaments, upon the altar of patriotism, the example having been set them by the wife of the Pnixce REGENT.— Italy is the classic land of female devotion to the divinity of patriotism. It is only for a time, and not, we trust, a long time, that the Neapolitans will have to contend. If they can protract the war for a few months, the means of their safety will appear. Their cause is that of mil lions, and they have friends who neither slumber nor despair. New events will present themselves, and 'new sacrifices will doubtless be made, to rescue man kind from the anti-social system of the confederated Tyrants. . From the Paris Papers of Saturday, received this morning, we find that Spain, an ally of no mean importance, is already making movements which in dicate a determination to make common cause with Naples, in defence of a right which it has only exer cised in common with Spain, with Portugal, and with every country which has passed from slavery to free-, dom—the right of Nations to reform their internal modes of government as they themselves think best. Letters from Cadiz announce the departure from that port of tha frigate la Perle, which is to join two other vessels of the line lying at Carthagena, when the whole.are to repair to Naples, or wherever their presence may be useful to the Neapolitan cause. The frigate was well provisioned and armed, and the crew had received four month's pay in adttance.— Other letter's from Barcelona of the 14th ult. state, that a great number of Officers who had served in the Peninsular war, had successively taken shipping at that port for the kingdom of Naples, with the in tention of making an offer of their services. A ship, loaded with arms of all sorts, had also sailed from Barcelona fur Naples on the 10th. Another circumstance is stated by the Journal des Debats to be currently reported at Paris, which, if true, cannot fail to have a strong influence on the conduct of certain Powers, who affect to think, that to look calmly on, and s°e the weak beat down by the strong, is the best way of chewing a genuine spi rit of neutrality. It is said that the Parliament of Naples has declared Sicily independent, although under the same Monarch; and that such of the Sici lian Deputies as had joined the Neapolitan Parlia ment were forthwith to repair to Palermo, to form a Sicilian Parliament. We sincerely hope this report may prove true. It will he a wise and healing mea sure—the only measure, we believe, which can make the Sicilians join heart and hand with the Neapolitans in resisting the common enemy. Lord LIVERPOOL, as our Readers are aware, made the conduct of the Neapolitans towards the Sicilians the grand basis of his objection to British interference. When that conc(uct has been repaired—when the Sici lians have got back the Constitution which was ori ginally planted among them under British auspices— can Britain refuse to support them in defending the possession of it ? We are not arguing for an interference which has anything like an expensive war as its issue. A small fleet—a much smaller one than sufficed to chastise the Dar of ALGIERS for his violation of the rights of humanity, would suffice to protect the Sicilians at least, from the violation, not less flagrant, of the .rights of Nations, which is now threatened by the Imperial Deys of the North. The report of a general rising of the inhabitants of the Papal States, in favour of a constitutional re form, which is mentioned in a private letter from Naples, quoted in The Times of this morning, is not confirmed by anything in the French Journals. It must be confessed that the idea of such an insurrec tion taking place under the beaks of an army of 80,000 men is improbable enough. An article from Rome, of the 17th of Februaiy, states, that the Neapolitans seemed disposed to leave that Capital undisturbed ; although it is confessed that they could have no difficulty, if they had chosen' , to anticipate the Austrians iri the occupation of it. The Head quarters of the Austrian Generalissimo FRIMONT were still at Florence on the 18th ult. The new aspect which affairs had taken seems to have determined General FRIMONT to concentrate the whole of his army before advancing on Naples. An Augsburg)] article of the 21th February, says, that be will only detach a single division to form a Corps of Observation towards the Abruzzes. French Five per Cents. Friday, 85 fr. 50 c.

It is a duty of the greatest Importance, for the safety of the People, eb a its forces be concentrated, and consequently let there be cone among all Citizens, harmony between the Civil and Military Authorities, an oblivion of all private inte rests, an abandonment of all private pretensions, and an applica tion of all men's exertions to the public gond. " S. It is likewise the duty of all Citizens to endeavour to diminish the number of the foreign enemies of the nation, and to conciliate new friends v• to confirm the old: it behoves them. therefore to &hew in the eyes of the world that their Constitu. tion, desired by the great mass of the population, proclaimed simultaneously in all parts of the kingdom, and sanctioned by the oath of the Monarch, is not only established and has hitherto proceeded without blame, but that it even new in the midst of war nraintsius itself with virtue, with respect towards the Throne, with obedience to the laws, with reverence towards the :constituted Authorities, with moderation and peace.

Finally, the essential. uties of every soldier ,under the national banners are, submission to his chief, voluntary obedience, activity in executiog all orders, strict observation of rules of military discipline, love to his fellow.citizens, du: greatest huma nity and gentleness towards enemies taken prisoners, and, in, short, that civil and quiet demeanour which is the characteristic of true courage.

All those who shall endeavour to mix up crime toiler any form or pretext, with the cause of the Constitution, or to sully its purity by any manner of means. " 111.

" The undersigned has the honour to acknowledge to his Ex cellency the Duke of Gallo Minister for Foreign Affairs, the receipt of the note addressed to him by his Excellency the Com mander Pignatelli, charged, ad interim, with the portfolio pf foreign affairs, intimating the necessity of a further explanation of the motives which induce the British Government to keep so large a naval force stationed in the Bay of Naples—an explana tion rendered necessary by the communications made to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, by the Ministers of Aus tria, Russia, and Prussia, in the name of the Powers assembled at Laybach. The undersigned acknowledges the justice of this appeal made to hint, and has, therefore, no hesitation in giving a frank declaration of the intentions of his Government. 'flu, British squadron at anchor in the Bay is simply a squa dron of observation, the presence of which is sufficiently ex plained by the critical circumstances of the country, and the necessity of providing for the security of the persons and pro perty of British subjects, under all possible chances. The British Government, faithful to the principles it has al ways pr3feased, is determined to maintain a strict neutrality, and to take no part, either directly or indirectly, in the war which there seems to be but too much reason to apprehend is on the point of breaking out. It will interfere in no way with the affairs of the country, unless such interference should be rendered in dispensable, by any peramal insult or danger to which the Royal Family may be exposed.
