upon us, we paid with the greatesr 'exactness, to Prince Beauharnais, the five millions of francs which the Government had engaged to supply to him, it is maintained that acknowledged institu tions and the repose of nations are endangered ! FOrtunately the facts just related are too notorious to be doubted, and the Cabinet of Vienna could not even for a long time disiemble acknowledging these facts. Therefore, in the confidential explanations Which his Highness the _ _ Prince de Metiernich has had with the Prince de Cimitile, he attacked Us with other arms. Ac ; cording to the opinion of his llighness, the Car bonari were the sole instigators of the events that have happened at Naples ; they forced the King's inclination and the majority of the nation, .excited the army to rebellion, and proclaimed a defective Constitution, which offers no guarantee of stability. " Such are, in short, the new grievances which the Austrian Minister urges to the Prince de Ci mitile against our political reform. •Let uscahnly: examine them. " Whenever a sect or any faction .obtains 'any concession by force, it is in the nature of things that thit sooner or later. an - opposition is formed and augmented, and at times .acquires even the as cendancy over the triumphant party. In Our, country, on the contrary, far from perceiving the smallest mark of discord, nothing is 'see►►. but ayerfect u►►ison of sentiments, principles, and desires. Unbounded attachment. to the King, and his august dynasty, inviolable attach ment to the constitutional system, a resolutiOn to defend it to: the last extremity, this is the pro fession of faith of all the inhabitants of the Two Sicilies. NV-; do not except the inhabitauts,of Palermo, whose difference of opinion arises from _other points of a less generous interest ; with the exception of what has taken place among them, no violence nor the slightest re-action has dis turbed the tranquillity of the kingdom. The orders of Government are respected ; justice is impartially administered ; the taxes are paid ; the discipline of the army is - maintained; indivi dual liberty, that of opinions, is full and entire ; aria if an exaggerated zeal for the public good at 'first caused a few altercations, they soon disap peared at the firm and paternal voice of Govern ment. The elections for deputies to Parliament, that infallible thermometer Of public opinion, would alone suffice to prove that the nation is animated . with one single sentiment, that of its own welfare._ Men, distinguished for their vir tues, services, and talents, have been chosen from one end of the kingdom to the other, as repre, sentatives of the nation. No disparity of Opinion was displayed in these selections. The best ci .tizens obtained the preference., Is there still wanting an incontestible argument that it was not ,a faction which operated our poli tical refOrm ? Those who were the foremost to cry out for a new system, those,' in short, whom report had proclaimed as the pro moters- of our political change, were not elected.. Can it be imagined that if a faction had brought about this change, as it is insinuated, that 'faction would n3t have insisted that its -chiefs should figure atnong the representatives of the nation ! A still" stronger argument again3t the opinion willing to be proMulgated in Europe, that the Governthent is here at the mercy- of a faction, eve willbring.forward from the great example of moderation and' long amity which we have given to civilized nations, by permitting the Austrian legation and consulship to exercise freely 'the 1 functions in this country, whilst at the same time our Ambassador was obliged to stop at Klagen furth, and our Consul was dismissed from Milan' without the slightest ceremony, and'on the invi tation of the, police. Had the Government been less strong in itself, had it been ruled by a'fac tion, whose passions are always impetuous, would it have been able to restrain the' effects of the national pride, justly irritated at such a treat ment ? " As to the defects imputed by the AuStrian Minister to the Spanish Constitution, we will in the -first place observe, that no foreiff ' n Power has the right to call either good or bad that system which an independent Sovereign has thought pro, per to adopt in his own States. But if one wishes to judge of the stability of Governments by the institutions which direct them, it is certainly no longer a problem in this age, to discover whe ther this stablility can be more "easily obtained by the arbitrary or constitutional system. The Charter of Spain may have its defects undoubt edly, but its principles bear the stamp of rea son and of every virtue.' . The nation, more Over. Las too great an interest to perfect its institu tions not to apply its . attention inrectifying any thing it.maysuppose convenient to the forMation of the new systern,. inasmuch as the "act 'of the king's Proclamation left to the National:Parlia ment the right of propOsing any modificatithis. The Cabinet of Vienna may rest.therefore secure' on. this. point; for we have it ; greatly at heart to give to our system all,thestability,'snSceptible in the undertakings, of men.„conyinced that the first merit of a constitutional, Qovernmen(is that of fortifying the State against the commotions occa sioned either through despotism or too . great,li betty ; and the wisdom of men recommendable for their qualities, whom the nation ha's chosen' as their Representatives, seconded moreover by the rectitude and paternal sentiments of the King, is a sure guarantee of the fulfilment Of What - we have here advanced. _ _ " Having plainly demonstrated how perfkctly unfounded and unjust are the wrongs imputed to us, we will enter into the discussion of the last argument whiCh the Austrian Minister might op pose, although until now it has not been brought forward. " There exists'in the'Treaty signed at Vienna, on the 12t1i of June, 1815, hetween the Courts of the TWo Sicilies and Austria, a separate article in these terms : " The engagements entered upon in this Treaty by their Majesties, in prder to secure the interior peace of Italy, imposing on them an obli gation to preserve their states and respective' sub jects from fresh re-actions and from the danger of ithprudent innovations, which might be the forerunners of them, it is unaerstooti by the ,high contracting Powers, that his Majesty theAing of . the Two Sicilies, in re-establishing, the . Go vernment of the kingdom, will not admit:of any changes irreconcileable either with the ancient monarchical institutions or with the -principles adopted by his Imperial Majesty, for the interior Government of his Italian provinces.' ' "The vague and ambiguous phrases of this tide, require an explanation. It is well !wok) that in diplomacy the literal sense of treaties is the only one that can be depended upon. The King, haVing conformed to_ the understanding. of the said article at the time of the restoration-of the - Government of Naples, has fulfilled his pro mise. And it is forth remarking here, that the question rested et a mere understanding, and not on a condition or any obligatory engagement for an indefinite time. " Upon NI. hat foundation, therefore, can Aus tria impute it as Nvrotig to the King, in having yielded to the unanimous wish of his people who demanded the Spanish Constitution ? However, admitting it evenas an hypothesis, that the above cited article was obligatory in perpetuum, it must be proved, in order to reclaitn against its infrac tion, that the change operated in the form of our Government is in opposition with Monarchical Institutions. We will, on the contrary, maintain that inStitutVans consolidate thrones, since they render the persons of Sovereigns inviolable, and guarantee the legitimacy of their rights ; but tlie is . question not here to discuss theoretical points. The question is merely to prove; and we think we have sufficiently proved it, that Austria could not reasonably take advantage of a stipulation which related to different epochs and to different circumstances, in order to -justify .an opposition to our political reform. 44 To what then can we attribute the attitude that Austria has taken, and still daily assumes against us? What can be the motive 'for the augmentation, excessive as well as precipitate, of the Austrian troops in Italy ? -As long as the King imagined, that in taking this step, the Cabi net of Vienna' had in view only the maintenance of good order and the interior tranquillity of his Italian States, his Majesty respected the right which every Power has of doing in its own Country whatever may appear suitable and convenient. But when the Court of Vienna obstinately ref&,es to enter - into any explanation with that of the Two Sicilies, -and to receive the Representatives and Agents of the King; when the Emperor refuses to:re ply to the. confidential letters of his Majesty when the Austrian Cabinet circulates notes among the Allied Powers, the. Germanic Confederation, and the 'ltalian G.overnments, against the new order of things established in Naples ; when, in .short the newspapers of Vienna and Milan of ficially promulgate sentiments hostile to us, which a self4especting Government should never autho rise, the. King Would be- wanting to the sentiment Of his own dignity, to what he owes .to the brave and generouS nation, whose destinies haVe been confided to him by Providence, if he showed him self indifferent to soinconceivable a conduct on the part of a friendly and allied Government. " In consequence, his Majesty has commis sioned the undersigned to address himself to his Highness the Prince de Metternich, to require a positiVe_ and' categorical explanation respecting the intention of these extraordinary armaments, and the attitude that • Austria has assumed to wards the Neapolitan Government, an attitude as contrary. to the bonds and sentiments of friend ' ship existing between the two Courts, as it is un, conformable to the principles of • fraternity and disinterestedness, which the Allied Sovereigns have proclaimed in presence of the whole world. - " The King, who has received so many proofs of cordiality and attachmentifrOm his Majesty the Emperor, his . august nephew and son-in-law, doubts not but that the explanatory information contained in this note, by dissipating the sinis trous impressions which malevolence, or the indi vidual passions of some enemy to the repose of Europe, may have inspired in him . , will cause him to renounce every hostile project against a nation which has closely admired his great virtues. For, certainly, if any circumstance could tarnish the splendour of those virtues, it would be the ag gression which Austria might meditate against the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Posterity would scarcely give : credit to such an injustice, an outrage so inimical to the rights of nations, and the more odious, as the same Power which would render itself guilty of such a .crime never Interfered in the smallest. States of Germany, which framed constitutions to themselves, and took no step, at least no public one, toWards Spain, whose example we followed. " To other motives, therefore, .must be attri bated the war that Austria would undertake against a pacific nation, solely occupied with its oWn welfare, and anxious to maintain the best understanding with every foreign, power, and to cement the-particular relations existing between the Courts of Naples and Vienna . . " The high opinion which his. Majesty the King has of the' individual qualities of his Majes ty the Einperor of Austria, is to him .a guaran 7 tee Of•the justice and Wisdom that will preside at his deliberations ; and he has reason to be lieve that he is not mistaken in thinking that at no distant period, the Austrian govern ment will shake off every prejudice against us, and that the bonds of friendship which formerly united the two States will be again cemented for the reciprocal advantage of both natious. But if, unfortunately, this hope should not be realised, the King and the whole nation being determined to defend, to the last extremity, the independence of the Kingdom and Constitution, which is the palladiUm of ' our rights, and the firmest sup port of legitimate Monarchy, are ready to bury themselves under the ruins of their country, sooner than submit to a foreign yoke. The ex ample of the heroic resistance of the Spaniards to the' despotism of Napoleon, would encourage US j and the reports which the Cabinet of Vi enna receives from Naples are founded on truth, it will not suppose what we here .advance to be exaggerated. 44 The undersigned, therefore requests of his THY SUN -4 I- 1 • SOLEM QUIS DICERE F4LSUM AIiDE.IT? LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1820. We have inserted this day a very important State Paper, taken from The Britisih Monitor of yesterday, relative to the situation of Naples and the apprehended intentions of Austria. We are not yet sufficiently apprized of the real state of affairs in Naples, to be able duly to estimate the views of Austria. As to the King of NAPLES, however he may affect to concur in the neW order of things, and to require .his nephew, the Empepr of AUSTRIA, to do the .same, it is im posAle to tell what may lie his real sentiments, and whether he may not be in the same state as this Country would be placed in, if it were in the hands of such men as Sir Roacirr WILSON, HOBHOUSE, Ald. WOOD', COBBETT, WOOLER, and such Reformers.—ln such a lamentable state of things, if the King retained his office, how could he be supposed to have a will of his own, and if another State should be bound to interfere by treaty, as is the case between Austria and Naples ?—On the other hand, if the King of NAPLES, reflecting on the course of the times, is convinced that arbitrary Monarchies cannot last, and that a Representative System is the best foundation for the security of the Throne and the happiness of the People, and if the Govern ment is conducted by wise Statesmen and real Patriots, it would be folly and madness, as well i as injustice and oppression, in the Emperor t: interfere, and he• would only expose himself t the danger of similar consequences.

(Signed) " The Secretary or State, Minister for • FO I eigu Affairs, • " THE DUKE DE CANIPOCHIARO." Y . \ (From the Gazette de France, 16th Nov. 1820.) " Social order has experienced an alarming check in Eng laud, - inconsequence of . the unexpected result that the fa mous trial of the Queen has experienced in the Upper Hoose• It would he in vain to seek to dissemble the full effect of this result; it is of a nature to cause sorrow to all the friends of morality and true liberty; and however little disposed one may he to exaggerate the consequences of political events, it would be difficult to imagine that social principles could be so manifestly injured in a free country; without at the. same time fearing that incalculable misfortunes might spring trout such a subversion. There is, perhaps, but one method for us to prevent the fatal t Ifect that such an example might exercise over our own country; that is to investigate it ; to call to our assistance reason and truth, in order to extract some useful advantage from the faults of our neighbours; such is the only motive which induces us to pablish, our re flections oo the rejection of the, Bill of Pains brought against the Queen of England. "• After the scandal which the proceedings of. such a trial must have given to all Europe, nothing could be more dis graceful than the manlier its which it terminated. Thus then has the curiosity of the whole world been for' three months excited by details equally injurious ft public morality and mortal chy ! The most lewd images have profaned the sanc tuary of the first assembly of a nation. Facts the must dis gusting were brought forward, and When theseverity of a sen• tence could scarcely compensate for• the prejudice done- to society by the publication of these scandalous investigations the dread of a popular tumult stopped the proceedrogs of the judges. It was then to outrage - justice herself that her sacred countenance was to behold such images. The faults of the Queen of England have been displayed in the clearest light ; her guilt established upon proofs unfortunately •toti evident was acknowledged bye majority of the English Peers, only to obtain a more complete triumph over religion, morality, and human justice, Rejoice, ye inhabitants of London; let your City blaze with illuminations; fill the air with your shouts lit triumph !—You have proved to Europe that social corruption was supported in your Country by nntnerieal force anti popu lar power ; you have taught your wives and daughters that lewdness is no longer blameable in your e 3 es; you have re vealed to human passions that in your society morality and justice no longer side with public opinion and liberty! " It is the first time, perhaps, since the establishment of the Representative System iii England, that social principles have experienced in this country so violent a shock. During the course of a career which was never exempt front difficulty and embarrassment, many seditious, many popular coimuo- Mins, at times even marked with very reprehensible excesses, had accompanied the progress of public aff tits ; but if the progression of events followed in the midst of co:on - lotions and disorder, these events in themselves always concurfed to the interests of order; am as Governments cartonly he judg ed atalistant periods but by the results that they obtain, no motive, in spite of the commotions that manifested them selves among the English, was yet found, that could create a future alarm for a society where the principles of civilization seemed to be in full vigour. " How much, therefore, must those principles_ have been weakened in the country of -a Pitt or a Burke, when the Queen could find in the situation in which she was placed by the Bill of Pains and Penalties, the support of so consider able a multitude, that the Justice of Parliament was compell ed to yidd before her ! How many calamities are to be feared for is country where Justice yields to the multitude ; where liberty,,far from being in accord with morality, openly de clares herself against it ? " It will not be amiss to observe, that the rejection of the Bill, is partly owing- 'to the systematic opposition that was formed, under the name of the interest of morality, against the Ministers, for having entered upon this scandal ms trial : ; The Queen is guilty,' said the members of this Opposition, 'but Ministers were wrong to bring her to justice; there , fore we will vote against this Bill of the - Ministers Thus, in the interest of morality, you pronounce for the - impunity of a crime whicly you have acknowledged. Because the Mi nisters erred against judgment, you must err agAinsl morality, for the interest of morality; was it not thus that our Doctthatires voted last year in favour of the enemies lit the Throne, for the interest of the Throne, because Ministers by attackMg revolutionary faction, ran.the risk of provoking it, and exciting it to, rebellion ? Wcv to the countries who have such logicians to dirt et their affairs ! rea son anti common sense cannot exist long in an assembly coin, posed of such enlightened members." IP — LAST AND.
