THE NATN3 84 euusideted t!ie refoAal of the unconditional cession of Tin eany as an act of ho , tility, and that lie should act in consequence. He even spoke of raising the people of Tuscany against the Neapolitan army, and threatened a diversion against the kingdom itself ; so that the King began to be alarmed, and drew his troops nearer together, that lie might in every case secure his retreat*. " During these discussions the Russian General Balaschoff came to King Joachim, and brought him a letter in Alexander's own hand writing, which stated, that " the Emperor renewed with pleastue the friendly relations and the good understanding between the two powers, and approving of the principles and the basis of the treaty concluded between the Courts of Vienna and Naples, he had given to General 13alaschoff the necessary full powers to sign a treaty of alliance with the King." It is said that thiS treaty was entirely drawn, and wanted but the signatures when news was received of the taking of Paris, and at the same time of the proclamation of the En,_ peror of Russia, iu which he declared that he would not treat either ith Napslcon or with any member of his family. General Balas choir therefore hesitated to sign the treaty at that time, and soon after that he left Italy. It is doubtful whether he left the Russian General her (now at Vienna) in a half official capacity with the King, or whether the General remained at Naples till some weeks ago, mealy on Isis private business. In favour of King Joachim it is flit titer added -Ist, That England, after all that has happened, cannot act against him► without a breach of honour. ." That Lord Castlereagh, as a testimony of the best under- standing,l , ail formally promised to the Due de Campoehiiiro, and Prince Cariati, 15,000 English muskets to arm the Neapolitan troop.. • " 3d, That Lord Castlereagh had declared to those two Ministers at Chaumont and at Dijon, that as there existed a treaty between Eogland and the King of Sicily, the former power could not con clude a treat• with the King of Naples, before obtaining an indent_ uiN• flu King .Ferdinand IV. but that the King of Naples might de fend upon the honour of England ► who haviag co-operated in the engagements concluded betmeen Austria and Naples, delayed only out of delicary the coiclosion of a Treaty of Peace with bins that in ease King Ferdinand did not renounce his right to Naples, and would not acrept en indemnity, England would not make war fiir him ; and, lastly, that the Government would act as me diator between the Courts of Naples and Sicily. " Lord Beutinck received orders to repeat the same assurances to the Cabinet of Naples, and delivered to the Duc de Gallo, Aptil 1, 1814, upon this subject, an Official Note of the following contents : 'That the English Goves smolt wholly approved the Treaty of Jan uary 11, 1814, between Austria and Naples, and it consented to the augmentation of territory promised to the King, in the Roman States; that if the English Government refused to conclude a treaty in liwine, it was solely from a motive of delicacy, which obliged it to make this negociation go on at the same time with that for an in- - dimity to King Ferdinand.

Lord Castlereagh added, that it was the design of the British Government to proceed at the same time iu its Treaty with the King of Naples, and in all arrangement for the indemnification of King Ferdinand ; that if the Sicilian Government were resolved to act in . opposition to the designs of that of England, the latter would consider itself as released from all obligations to interfere, having founded an 'sr• mistice on the principles of the treaty concluded between Austria and the King of Naples, and that it would even think itself obliged immediately to conclude a treaty with hint; Joachim.

The process verbal of the conferences at Chatillon. whereon a proposal of the Duke of Vicenza concerning Italy, and Naples in particular, the Plenipotentiaries declared that it was not for France to interfere in the affairs of Italy, because the Allied Powers had already determined its fate ; and that as for Naples, they had con tracted engagements which guaranteed the possession of that king dom to the reigning Dynasty. " It is known, that among the various Committees formed at Vienna, there is one for the affairs of Italy. It is composed of Messrs. Wessenberg for Austria, Count Nesselrode for Russia , Count Alexander No:idles for France. Lord Castlereagh for Eng land, and the Count de Labrador for Spain. The decision upon the Papal Legations, upon the indemnities Cu. the Queen of Etruria and the Empress Maria Louisa, are in the province of this Committee. But many persons pretend that it cannot discuss the question rela tive to Naplei and Sicily, and maintain that the Congress is assem bled to dispose of the possession of those countries only which are considered as conquered from France, and as yet without any So vereign. In this case Napfes would be obliged to make all its ef forts to resist its enemies, and to obtain against them the assistance of its ancient and new allies." FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. VIENNA. JAN. 20.—News, and even political conjectures, become every day more scarce : no more is said of the arrival of the King of 7iaxony at Vienna, or even at Prague. As to POlatifi, it is asserted that every thing is arranged. A usitia will retain Old Gallicia, which will be increased by all the territory hut wren it and the Ntdda. Prus sia will hive all the country west of Prosna and IVartha, and from th e Lake Goplo to Thorn. This city, as I have already °harried, and that of Cracow, will be free cities. Austria and Prussia will grant vileges, and a representation by states to the provinces of Poland also be allowed. • VIENNA, JAN.2O.—AII the politicians who have calculated eon. fidently upon peace, and have made their plans and news accordingly, find themselves a little out in their reckoning. A note is mentionee, sent oa the it?th of this month by the Prussian Ministers to t h e other Ambassadors at the Congress, which is every thing but conciliatory, °cassia persists in her demand to the re-union of all &awl to her states, and that this point should he first arranged. On the other side see learn that the King of Saxony has di-eared that he will not give up any part of Isis kinrdom ; that be protests against all kinds of usurpation, and that he ssi!l risk every esisig rathcr than consent. This detei ruination will become much more embartas silly., since it even resists the plan of indemnity proposed by Austria. FRONTIETIS or SA xONV, JAN. 20.—We are assured that the project for carr)ing off the King of Saxony, which has been so much spoken it, is only an idle invention of his enensie's. to answer their Oven purposes. In oider to give the story some sl.ew of authenticity, the authors took care to name the place to which lie was to be transported, nnil the names of the pretended perpetrators of the deed. The measures tak u fur some days with. rtsgstrd to the King are of a nature to render it more a maim- of doubt whether hit; return to Saxony can he prevented, than to give slam for Lis persunal safely, whiLla has never been threlit. curd.
