MARCH Q. l'ilttats, Fin. 3.—The government has just published the followitt— proclamation to the people of Italy : People of the kingdoruof Italy !--For three months you have been sufficiently fortunate to preserve from the invasion of the client) the greater part of your territory. - Fur near!, three months the Neapolitans haie solemnly promised ns succours. How could we mistrust their promises ? Their Sovereign is connected by ties of blood to the great man to whom both he and my self osme every thing : but this great man is at present less fortunate Confiding in the word of Neapolitans, we were jtoitied in hoping that the efforts that we have hitherto made would not be lost, and that the enemy %mild soon be obliged so retire beyond our frontier. People of the kingdom of Italy can you believe it ? The Neapolitans have betrayed all our expectations, and all our hopes. Nevertheless it was in presenting themselves as Allies that they pe netrated quo' our territory, and that they were allowed to occupy se veral of our departmeeits. We have received them as brethern ; have eagerly opened to them our magazines, our public chests, our arsenals, and our fortresses ; amid as the reward of our sacaces, and of our confidence, it is even up on that line %here their arms ought to have joined our's, that they ex tend their hands to strangers, and raise their standards against us ! llistory will one day point out all the intrigues,—all the resources which were ovule use of. to mislead to this degree a sovereign already too munch distinguished by Isis valour not to possess all the other virtues of a soldier. People of the kingdom of Italy, let us not dissemble : the defection of the Neapolitans has cruelly augmented time difficulties of our si•miaris.n ; but we der not fear to state it : " the more oar situation is difficult, the more ought our conragelo increase." You will therefore rally under the son of your Sovereign ; you will confide in the jnatiee and holiness of your cause; you will mareh at the voice of him who loves you, and who has no oilmen ambition than to concur with all his means in increasing your glory, and COI- firming your prosperity. Italians ! They only are immortal in the esteem and the annals of nations, %leo know how to live and the faithful to their Sovereign. i and to their country : faithful to their duty and their oaths; ( sills . Ifill to gratitude and to honour. Given at our head quarters, Verona, Feb. 1, 1814. t EUCi EN E N A POLEON.
