MONDAY, JANUARY 1, 1821. Ciscustmon.—llnliday at the Bank. It will be some time before the Public can learn anything respecting the arrival of the King of NAPLES at Laybach, or the_ communications that may pass between the hag Sovereigns and their new guest. In the meantime; everything that transpires, as to the principles which dictated the mandate of the former, and the steps Which preceded the departure of his NEAPOLITAN 1 .%/ A 3 &STY, cannot but afford instruction to mankind. The first of the subjoined documents is given, with great seeming gravity, in The Morning Chronicle this day. It is, to be sure, in every re,ren, as rational and reasonable as the Imperial Epistle to which it is made to refer; but we are not without our suspicions—or, rather, we hat , e , no doubt of the fact—that it is apocryphal —a mere Intercise of inge nuity, like the Letter that appeared a few years ago, that should have been written by the Etnpress LOUISA to the same holy Aristnrchs, when deliberating re specting the petsoa of NAPOLEON. We shall only remark, that the pre.ent Letter should have been writ ten to FERDINAND'S " Royal Brothers," in answer to their modest demand that he should meet them at Laybach, when they might so easily have met him at Naples or Madrid: " We understand that the VICAR-GENERAL, now Regent of the Kingdom of Naples, drew up an Answer to the Letter of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, for his fa ther, the King of NAPLES. The following is a copy: a gin s my Brother and dear Sait.ia-law 1, Your Letter of the 20th November begins by Stating, that unhappy circumstances have prevented your receiving my let ters during a period of four months.'—As the Couriers and ML Miters whom I had charged with letters assure me that their journies were never interrupted by any convulsion of Nature, or any unhappy physical accident, nor the execution of their orders I defeated by any interference of intermediate States, but solely by the peremptory, and, as it now appears, unauthorised refusal of your barium. MAJESTY'S own subjects, military and civil, to admit my Ambassadors to your presence, or to convey my com munications to your Iscramm. Maassrr, I have not ceased to deliberate an the consequences with which your bestow. Ma tarv's acknowkdgediknorance of their contents menaces both Italy and Europe. . 11 In conformity with the engagements upon which my alli ance, and that of all Europe, with your lisramst. MAJIIITY is founded; and by which the territorial integrity aid political inde //endows of my Kingdom, as of most other European States, is guaranteed. I have determined to consult the Sovereigns allied to me by treaty, by interest, and by blood, and especially the Kings of &sawn* and Srans, on the causes and consequences Of as sudden an interruption of an intercourse, which by so many cations the honour of your Maresry's Imperial Crown P bound to maintain and encourage. " Your Istria:at blaassxy cannot doubt that the object of these Consultations, aided by the Cortes of our respective King doms, is only to render your Imperial Crown capable of preserv ing the relations or peace and amity with civilized and indepen d nt States, and to reconcile the usages of your Court with the duties which we owe to our own subjects, and to the rest of the world. For that purpose, it may be necessary to repress such illegal and traitorous combinations as intercept the voice of truth la its passage to the Imperial Throne, or such anti-social practices or institutions as interrupt the friendly and necessary intercourse between nation and nation, and Sovereign and Sovereign. We should feel happy to accomplish these objects with the co-opera tion of your Issraata.t. IU , and it is with this view that we propose to your Manny to repair to Naples or to Madrid.— Your presence, Sir, will secure a communication of facts which is become almost indispensable. " In the name, therefore, of the peace of Europe, the welfare of our respective subjects, and the sacred cause of truth and good government, we invite you to receive, in a free country, those proofs of our frankness and sincerity which the unhappy circuessianccs of surrounding flatteries, designing Ministers, and the total absence of popular institutions, have hitherto prevented being laid before Vim Tatreassz. Marssrr, in the Military Mo narchy over which you preside ! Receive the assurances of a Your true Brother, and tender Father-in-law and Ally, (Signed) a FERDINAND." The subjoined extract, from The Berlin State Ga zette, must be viewed very differently from the fore going: " BERLIN, DEC. 19, 1820. " In N 0.148 of Voss's Berlin Gazette, various re ports are related, which, as the Editor affirms, were in circulation at Vienna, respecting the approaching events in Italy. The author of the articles says, that these reports contradict each other; yet he mentions, as coming from good authority, that the Cabinets•at Troppau had resolved to make another attempt to induce the party prevailing at Naples, if not to over turn the new order of things, at least to bring it, by means of various modifications, nearer to monarchi cal principles. The article adds, as a certainty, that on the 20th of November couriers were dispatched to Naples with the final proposals of the Sovereigns. " An impenetrable veil still covers the deliberations of the Congress at Troppau ; and it would be pre sumption to say anything respecting them. So much however, we are authorized to declare, that no idea was ever entertained for a moment, at Troppau, of negotiating with the party prevailing at Naples, or to make proposals to it to overturn the new order of things. This would be, in other terms, recognizing the legality of an insurrection, the instigators of which were a secret political sect, and whose instru ment was the army. There cannot be a thought of bringing a Constitution, which is the product Gf ad unlawful power, more or less near to the monarchical principle. The monarchical principle rejects every institution which is eot, determined upon, and accom plished by the Monarch himself. of his own free will. It is for the King of Naples, t Iva be shall be in a state of liberty, to introduce into his kingdom another 'w'7.r7rr7tv. Constitution-a=that is, so far as he shall be convinced that such a one is adapted to the wants and the' wishes of his People. It is, therefore, wholly un founded, that on the 20th of November two couriers were dispatched to Naples with proposals to the pre sent Government : only this is true, that, on the 514th, the Monarchs dispatched autograph letters to the King, the contents of which, however, are entirety unknown. It is likewise entirely false, that the con ferences at, Troppau were adjourned for three weeks. ,They have not been for a moment interrupted." From the channel through which the Berlin article 'is given co the Public, we must consider the prin ciples which it manifests as those of the Km: of Pnussra ; and, consequently, as those of his holy brethren met at Troppau to dispense blessings to mankind! Indeed, we never had an idea that they entertained any other; but, had they not been avowed 'in an Official Journal, in a country where the Edi tors of Newspapers dare not indulge in what some men call gig, we should have considered the promul gation as a hoax ; for, though *the principles of the Holy Alliance are accurately known, we could not have believed that these wise men would, themselves, I have openly proclaimed them, or, in other words, have thus without ceremony, declared war—for it is an undisguised declaration of war—against the People of every free State in Europe. " We are authorised to declare," says the Berlin Government Gazette, " that no idea was ever enter ' tamed, for a moment, at Troppau, of negeciating with the party prevailing at Naples, or to make pro ' posals to it to change the new order of things. This. would be, in other terms, recognising the legaliiy of an insurrection, the instigators of which were a secret political sect, and whose instrument was the army. There cannot be a thought of bringing a Constitution, which is the produce of an uniarvfal power,. more or less near to the Monarchical prin ciple. The Monarchical principle rejects every in ' stitntian which is not determined upon and accom plished by the Monarch himself of his own free will." —This is saying, in so many words, that absolute Monarchy is the only state of things which this Con gress recognizes; for we believe all the free institu tions that now. exist, or ever existed, have been either obtained by Revolution, or extorted from Monarchs or other depositaries of power, by operating on their fears, or by force. The above may be a very good doctrine for absolute Monarchs ; but it is one which will never be recognized by any . free People. Our present SOVEREIGN owes the Throne of these King= doms to institutions established, not by the free will of any Monarch—or, in the slang of our days, of the Legitimates—but to institutions commanded by the will of the free People of England. Europe, in respect to population, may be cqgoi- 1 dered as pretty equally divided into Constitutional States and Republics, and of States without Constitu tions. The powerful Constitutional States are Bri tain, France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Swe den, and Naples; and the principal arbitrary States are Turkey, Russia, Austria, and Prussia. The di- 1 1 vision is pretty equal in point of population ; but, when we speak of intelligence and civilization, it is' quite another matter. The Turks are absolute bar barians; the Russians are beginning to have a glimpse of civilization ; the Austrians are in the lowest scale of nations entitled to be called civilized; and the Prussians alone can be considered as on a level with the average of European population. The Sovereigns of the Unconstitutional States themselves admit their inferiority ; for the answer they have always returned to the demands for Constitutions is, that it is not adapted to the wants and wishes of their people. Shall civilized Europe then receive law from these bar barous or semi-barbarous States? Shall the internal affairs of every nation be submitted to the controul of men who have no other title to interfere than that they are at the head of large armies ? This would be subjecting us with avengeance to the yoke of Vandalism. But will the Holy Allies prevail against Neapo litan Independence? We say, No! They may pro cure Protests and Proclamations to be issued in the name of King FERDINAND ; they may enter his ter ritories with armies; they may even obtain victories over his People, and inflict upon them many miss-' ries ; but in the issue Liberty must triumph. Spain is in the same situation as Naples, and must in terfere. The Ultras of France, whatever may be their secret wishes, must pay some deference to the feelings and inclinations of the People ; and the French, as a nation, cannot look tamely on and see Austria pursuing measures calculated to extend her domination in Italy, under the pre text of maintaining "monarchical principks."--In the present age constitutional principles stand in direct opposition to what the Holy Allies call monarchical principles, and therefore every Constitutional Go-1 vernment has a direct interest in counteracting the , aims and projects of these holy men, which are alto ther irreconcileable with European civilization. The general peace and tranquillity can only be preserved by the admission of the People to constitutional rights ; and those Sovereigns who refuse to admit their People to the enjoyment of these rights, are not only enemies to mankind, but enemies to the ti anquillity of Europe. The despots talk of maintaining the r eace and tran quillity of Europe. We would like to see them prac tising instead of talking of public virtues. In fact the peace of Europe will never be placed on a solid basis, till the rights of the People at everywhere • ~,~. _, secured by Constitutional Governieeetsr—till theh4 Linen who promised them representative Governments I.shall have redeemed tke pledges given to their pee. ple, there can be no permanent tranquillity ; hut we fear that many evils are in store for mankind before 'the people, everywhere, will take from tyrants tbe power to commit wrongs. His Mases aftcrhearing Divine Service yester day, took a ride for some time in the riding-housed the Pavilion. During the day the Wart of A.RRAR came from Bognor, on a visit to his MAJESTY. At dinner he had a select party. In the evening tllik band played several select pieces of sacred music. His MAJESTY is in apparent good health and-spirits. Saturday morning, at ten o'clpc k, the Princess AUGUSTA left her residence at Frogmore, and pm. ceeded to the King's Palace, Kensington, where the Princess arrived about twelve, on a visit to the Dar chess of KENT and the Duke of Sussex. Her Royal Highness, after.remainisig some time with the Royal Duchess, proceeded to George-street, Hanover-squarr, on a visit to the Princess Surma. The Princess Ae- GUSTA remained with her Royal sister till a little be fore four, when her Royal Highness went to the King's Palace, St. James's, on a visit to the Duchess of CLARENCE, where her Royal Highness remained till half-past live, and then left tows on her return to Froginore. The Duchess of KENT spent Saturday evening with the Duchess of CLanesce. Government has paid £6OO, being the half-year's rent due by the QueeN for Brandenburgh-Houses and Lady ANNE Il m itToN has been compensated from the same quarter for the use of her Ladyship's house in Portman-street, by her MAJESTY,. in tlss course of the last summer. Letters from Vienna, dated the 13th ultimo, con tain a rumour, that the mediation of the Point had been offered to heal the differences with Austria and the other members of the Holy Alliance, and that Cardinal GoNSALVI would probably be present at the Congress for that purpose. The commencement of the deliberations at Laybach is not likely to take place very early, as the Empanels was certainly ex pected at Vienna on the 28th ultimo, and wonld re main there till the beginning of February. Letters just received from Naples Bay, mention that the- VENGEUR, 74, Captain F. L.MAITLAND; and the ACTIVE, Sir JAMES ALEXANDER GORDON, were expected to sail shortly for England. These ships, with the LIFFEy, Hcn. Captain DeNcasr, were writ to reinforce our Mediterranean squadron in Naples Bay, during the allied conferences with re spect to Naples, at Troppau. Demerara Gazeaes to a late date have been re ceived, which give detailed accounts of the number and state of the slaves in tbatpart of the West Indies. The Report is given by JAMES ROBERTSON, Esq. the new Slave Registrar of the United Colony. It is a triennial statement of the slave population. It ap pears that there has been a large decrease of the bumber by deaths, but the Creoles have greatly in creased as compared with former years. Births have been .in the proportion of one to forty-six. The Report defends the conduct of the West India Plant ers,. and observes that ". the state of the black cope latiou seemsto call for little or no amelioration; so great is the kindness, the liberality,, and indulgent care of proprietors." It adds, that their own interest is a perpetual call upon their humanity. In the colony there.are few crimes committed of a heinous or arc cious nature, and capital punishment is almost never heard of. At the present moment there are 42,989 male slaves on the island, computing Africans and Creoles; and there ate 33 , 940 female slaves of the same denomination, making a total of 76,929. The slave population in 1817, amounted in the whole to 77,867. The number of births which have occurred since that period is 4,817, and deaths 7,140. The Report concludes with some gratifying observations upon the flourishing state of the colony. Another Expedition for further discoveries in the Arctic Circle is finally determined on, and it is to consist of two vessels, as before. The HECLA taken into dock immediately at Deptford, to be exa mined and repaired ; and the FURY bomb vessel sub stituted for the GRIPER. Captain PARRY will be en trusted with the command. As yet no precise point for exploring is named, and it is considered as not likely to be until the arrival of some information from Lieutenant FRANKLYN, now employed in the Land Expedition from ludson's Bay to Copper Mine Rivet:. At Sir CHARLES MORGAN'S Annual Cattle She% which took place at Tredegar, on the 19th December, SAMUEL HOMFRAY, Esq. the much respected pos sessor of Caworth-House, sent 14 specimens of capital stock from his mountain farms. A sheep was exhi bited by Mr. JOHN COLLINS, a tenant of Sir CHARLES MORGAN, which weighed 2301b5. Of this extraor dinary animal Mr. HOMFRAY has sent a side to the Mayor of Windsor, that a portion might be presented to his MAJESTY, as an object of considerable curiosity. The Will of the late Earl of MALMESBURY was proved in the Prerogative Court, on the 13th ult. by the Right Hon. JAMES EDWARD, the present Earl, the son and sole Executor. It is dated the 30th of March, 1820. The personals are sworn under £25,000. Be sides pecuniary p ro visions created and confirmed in favour of Lady MALMESBURY, there are,bequeathed to her all her jewels and paraphernalia ; a set of French dessert china, and also a dinner service pur chased by his Lordship, at Lisle, in 1797; the picture of her Ladyship's sister, Lady Mune, painted by Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS, and all the pictures, china, orna ments, and furniture, of her dre,sing and bed-rooms; all the Morachet, or white Burgundy ; and one-third of the other wines. The housekeeping of his Lord ship's residences is directed to be kept up and de frayed from his estate for three months after his death, fur the use and convenience of his family.— The privilege of the occupation of his Lordship's ' house at Great Durnford, Wilts, is given to his sister, Lady Louisa HARRIS, for life; and, after her death, to his sister, ROBINSON, and his daughter, Lady CA- I THERINE Mattis, if unmarried, successively. Five hundred sovereigns, which, it is stated, will be found in the house, are given in divisions of 50 to his grand iaiti s; a membered.tidTothtehedoLmidesytic servants are liberally re- , ' children.
