FERDINAND. Madill, Oct. 10, 1 815. DOCUMENTS FOUND ON MURAT. (TRANSLATED FROM THE ITALIAN). PROC' AMATION. JOACHIM NAPOLEON, KING OF TUE TWO SICILILS, TO HIS FAITHFUL Sy'llitCTS. Frlve Jozchini is revorccl to you. 11. Is at; :in in the !nicht of you. Ilk afflictions and )ours are terfitnia.t•it. Your King, in announcing to you his return, does not an nc.unce a kardun : you taerci offvndcd him; but by MIMS 6 Nek `~i NOV. 5. to his children the oath he has already sworn to them, namely, to render them happy ! lie will never be perjured, and his heart, which you so well know, and your own con stant fidelity form your guarantees that his promises are not deceitful, and that he will not, like Ferdinand, prolong the epoch of vengeance. I have lived in solitude, in one of those modest asylums which are always to be found among virtuous p , verty. There I despised the poignards of those assassins of Mar seilles, of those canibals, who during the whole period of the French Revolution, steeped themselves in the blu ed f their fellow-citizens. I had resolved to await in my retreat, the (erre ination of the anti-revolutionary fever which devoured France, in order to attempt the conquest of my States, and to seek in your hearts a refine from misfoi tunes, and from the most unheard of and unjust persecution, when I was in duced to remove in consequence of the indignation I felt on reading; the Letter written by Ferdinand to Lieutenant Field. Marshal Baron Bianchi. I could not endure, that a Prince, who calls himself the King and Father of the good Neapoli tans, should consecrate, by a solemn monument, the national dishonour. I could not endure that he should style hostile banditti, that army which was composed of the flower of all the classes of the nation—that brave army of which I was the creator and the chief— that army which had give!, so many proofs of courage and fidelity—which had coveted itself with glory—which had elevated the character of the Neapo litan people among nations, and which owed its ultimate re verses. sole!y to hostile proclamations instigating desertion, and to the false reports which were circulated of the death of its King. I then resumed all my resolution. I threw myself int*. a small boat. and landed in Corsica, where I immediately found hospitality, and at the same time offers of service (ruin all the brave men who bad formed part of the Neapolitan army. Secure of the love of my people, and happy thus to recall them to my memory, I formed and have executed the plan of re-conquering my States and avenging the national dis- hotiour. Soldiers and Citizens ! All of you who possess noble hearts, and are animated by sentiments of patriotism, assemble around your King. The offence is common to all. Let us state it plainly ! The Prince who calls the Neapolitan sol diers a hostile banditti, insults the whole nation. lle has lost his right to the Throne : and Ferdinand pronounced his ab dication, by the letter which be wrote to the Baron de Bianchi. _ . Yes, brave men, my beloved citizens, we have been injured, and if the offence is common to all, you ought all to assemble around your King, to expel from your territory so petjnred a Prince, a Prince who so often promises pardon, and always 0) 0 %1 himself vindictive. May the Casa Laitza, may that monument which Ferdinand wished to raise to the national dishonour, be erased front its foundations, and on its ruins may there be erected a column, bearing an inscription, which shall inform the present genera tion, and the most remote posterity, that in that very place, the national army, after having gained signal victories, not being able to resist the number of its enemies, was compelled to sign an honourable peace ; and that Ferdinand for having constructed the said place in the heart of the kingdom, as a monument of national dishonour, and for having given the title of hostile banditti to the national army, was declared by the Neapolitan nation unworthy to govern, and has for ever lost his throne. Yes, the nation is offended W hat Neapo litan, if this be not avenged, will henceforth be proud of that name, and show himself in the great society of the world T ~' krtakoisait ~t ip.w.lllloPir . 4-00! :ely otn tan call of lis 1. - its, L ble a us Jul tz - lost st ab. de .ed, al ible d a ays la Ind its nn, ra- i f , LCep .7\l not or led s(1 ing s a Cr the ;Is by ;t; ver vt th hat tip
