INTERCEPTED CORR ESP(iND E COPY OF A LETTER FROM THE DV* IVANGOVLEME TO THE XING OP SPAIN. Sir, my tlfoter and enusin,—lt - is with the Mod entire :confivenee in the high qualities Which distinguish your Ma jesty; and in that nobleness of char = acter whieh is so well known, as a relation and ally, and haYing the same interest against the common enemy that I addrets Myself to :roil. Not hating any communication with the King, my uncle, I am ignorant -what steps he may have taken with your Ma ]csry ; but as he has charged me with the Government of the Vonth, and as the situation in which we find ourselves is criti tal, on account 'of the defection of almost all the troops. 1 eri- Oent your Majesty, in the name of the King, my uncle, to di rect your forces to enter the kingdorn; as Anxiliaries of the King of France; and I will give orders in the frontier de partments that they may be received as friends and Allies. It appears to the desirable that they should maich; part on flotirdeaux, part on Toulonse ; the-. greater number oh this last poiht, as being the most. central. The sen timents of the inhabitants of the South are excellent, and they chew flinch zeal to form battalions of national guards, but they have need of support. I have established, ac cording to the order of the King; my uncle, a Government at Toul.nse, at the head of which I ha v e placed Lieutenant- General Count Damas, and Baron Vitrollcs, Commissary Ex traordinary of the King. I should have wished to go there myself; but if I had quitted the troops Which I command, they would have been discouraged, and all would have been disbanded. lam in march upon Lycins: hitherto there is no force opposed to me: the capture of this city would be of great importance on opition, especially if the Allies should, enter France, as the direction taken by the King leads me to sup pose. I shall order the government of Toulouse to give your Majesty's Minist;rs constant information of alt that shall be interesting. I have a confidence that Providence will crown ourefforts, and will give triumph to our cause, which is that of all legitimate Sovereigns, and with which the peace and happiness of the world are connected. _ The Duchess d'Angouleme ibas informed me of the steps which she has taken with your Majesty. I have no need of . recommending her to you, if she should be compelled to retire into your states. It is a great happiness for me, under present circnr,►stanccs, and for which I return the most lively thanks to God, that she is in a city which has giren us so many - proofs of attachment, by first declaring for the King last Year, where she is so near to the territory of your Ma jesty, and whence I can etery day receive news from her.' LOUIS ANTOINE. From my head-quarters, at Pant-Saint Esprit, March 30, Another Letter from the same place, dated the same day, speaks of some operations in this South, in. which he corn xnend3 the steady conduct of the Royalists ; speaks in hies terms of the conduct of Marshal Mminier, and adverts to some favOurable intelligence he had just teccived.from Tou lon and Marseilles. . A third Letter from the sime - toihe same, and dated 31, ex. presses his Royal Highness's apprehension that some of his former letters bad been intercepted ; speaks of his proceeding to eli3orgarkl.. %lacy were mut to be GC, tended on, and speaks of his intention to repair the citadel of Port St. Esprit, as a !Mint d'appui. The 6th is from the Baron de Vitrolles to the Duchess D'Angooleme, dated Toulouse, March 31., It contains flotilla; remarkable, but augurs most favour ably from the nomination of Marshal Periguon to the chief command of the Royalists of the South. PAnts, APRIL 7.--;As his Majesty will next Snnday review, at the Place of Carousel, several regiments of the line, whi c h are to receive their stinations, and as the ground does not admit of the National Guards - also assembling there, the review which was to hare taken place is deferred tillanday the 16th of April. Of late, there have been several nuMbert of a Royalist publication, printed in secret, put under neath the doors of many houses- : •it is called the Lys, and contains a quantity of fabricated and itf flammatory matter, in. an attempt to revive the embers of a falling cause, and to sow dissension acid animosity among all true Frenchmen.

NAPLES. I CbPY OF THE LETTER OP THE PRINCE DE TALLEY RAND TO LORD VISCOUNT CASTLBREAGH, DATED VIENNA, DEC. 15, 1614. g._ My Loan—you desire me to fintke known to you in what manner I conceive the affair of Naples ought to be settled in Congress; for as there is a necessity of settling it, it is a point-upon which there ought nut to be one moment of un certainty in a mind like yours. It would be for ever'a sub ject of reproach, and I will say, even . an eternal sub ject of shame if the right of sovereignty over an ancient and fine kingdom, like that of Naples -being contested, Eu rope united for the first time (and probably for the last) in general Congress should leave undecided a question of this nature, and sanctioning in some degree usurpation by its silence, should give ground-for the opinion, that the only source of right is force. I have not at tills same time to con vince your Excellency of the rights of Ferdinand IV. England has never ceased to recognize them. In the war in which he lust Naples, England was his ally. She has been since, and is so still. Never has she recognized the title that the per son who'now governs at Naples assumes, nor the right which ,this title supposes : therefore, in concurring to assure the rights of King Ferdinand, England has only one plain thing to do—which is to declare in Congress what she has always recognized, that Ferdinand IV. is the legitimate Sovereign of the. Kingdom of Naples. " Perhaps England, heretofore 'the Ally of Ferdinand IV. desires still. to be so. Perhaps she may believe her honour demands that she should assist, if need be, with her forces, for his regaining the Crown of which he has been recognized the Sovereign —but this is not an obligation that can flow from a pure and simple acknowledgment of the rights of this Prince, because the recognition of a right does not naturally carry with it any other- obligatimi, . than that of doing no thing that may be contrary to such right, and of not sup porting any pretension that may be set up against it. It does not carry with it the obligation of fighting in his defence. " " It may be that I deceive myself, but it appears to me in finitely probable, that a frank and unanimous declaration of the Powers of Europe, and the certitude offtlie person who now govet:ns at Naples, that be would not be supported by any one, would render useless the eMployinent of force ;'but if the contraryshould happen, those only of the Allies of King Ferdinand would be • necessary, who should think proper to lend him their support. " It is feared that in this case, the war shanld.spread be yond the limits of the Kingdom of Naples, and that the tran quillity of Italy should again be interrupted i It is feared that foreign troops should again traverse Italy: These fears may be obviated l.y stipulating that the Kingdom of Naples should not be attacked by the Italian Continent. Austria appears to , be engaged towards him, who govet as at Naples, to guarantee frWtit all attack A this side ; and if, as we are aisurel, Austria only engaged herself fOr this (how can ahe itiii . - tiosA that t . he iniVeroi• has given his giiarantee ayainit the of n.Prin've, at onehlS nnch; and his father-in-law, to making . .the poisl;s . si ( ri 'Of a kitigdoni ;Which lit lost in common cruse with Austria); she Cannot he eniba'riaised in reconcil ing with justice and with the natural sintinients of atfectioa' t cligagetnenit into tshieh eitraordiliziry circumstances made her taiter . . " It appears to me, therefore, thitt we may at one anti the. same time satisfy all our aUtiii, and all our intei-ests, and all our . engagernetits by an Article such as the folli;Wing " Europe, united hi CotigresS, i . ecdkniies his Majesty Fer " dinand IV. as Xing of Naples. All the Power* engage td " one another not to - favour, nor to support, dit ettly at - 4 pietension oppoSite to the righti ivbicli apper " taro to bini in this title ; but the troops Which 'the Powers, " fori:ii•tt to Italy, and the Allies of his said Majesty, may " march to the support of his cause, cannot traverse Italy." " I persuade myself, My Lord, that yorif Excellency is sof= ficiently authorized to subscribe such a clause, and that you have tic; need of .d more sPeeial authorization; but if you should thinkotherwise; 1 shall request of you to require this authority without delay, as you have beeti good enough td permit me so to do (ainei qu'dle a bien vozillt ate le per atettre)., _ _ Agret, - &c. &c.

Jltat as we were preparing our last page for the Press the following important intelligence reached us, in Brittlels Papers to the 10th instant. This is as it shonld be. A heavy responsibility at taches to the Supporters of BUONAPARTE, whose final punishment is, we trust, near at hand : " APRIL s.—Private Letters from Ger many announce, that the Russian corps d'armee is in full march towards the Rhine. The ad vanced-guard is said to have already arrived in the neighbourhood of Dresden. " BRUSSELS, Aram B.—intelligence has been received at Basle, that 40,,000 Fretich troops are on the march to Switzerland. " The German Papers are full of details of the match of troops. Russia and Prussia have put their whole force in motion:: 120,000 Cossacks have broke up : to make a second visit to France. Lord WELLINGTON set off this morning for Ghent, as well Fs Baron FAtrm, the Russian Gen. Dauss'EN; and other distinguished persons: " A Courier has passed through this city 'this morning with dispatches from DUONAPAETE, go ing to Stockholm ; he has orders to travel with all pOssible speed. " VIENNA, MARCH 29.—The Allied Powers have signed a new Declaration, by which they renew the Treaty of Chaumont, the tenor of which is that they engaged not to treat with NA POLEON BUONAPARTE, or any of his Family, without, however, interfering in the internal affairs of France. This Declaration Kill soon. be pub lished bfficially."---(Orrtcle, April 9.) Lord HARROWISY and Mr. WELLESLEY POLE hare returned from their important mission.— They lauded at Dover. Paris Papers of the Bth arrived yesterday after noon, and we gave a short abstract in a late Second A.lition of the interesting contents, which will be found translated more at length in our columns to-day. Their prominent feature is the Rebel Decree, by which the King of FaAsce. and the Royal Family are proscribed as traitors, and condemned to death if they should unhappily tall into the hands of the Corsican and his brutal partizans. This Decree, though only promulgated on the Bth April, is ante-dated 25th March, and may be pro nounced as at once displaying the most desperate effrontery, inveterate malignity, and barefaced villany. The murderers of Louts the XVltb we re innocent, and authorized' u what they did, when 'their acts aye contrasted with the atrocious crimes contemplated by the framers of this Pro clamation. They had at least the semblance of Constitutional Power, but BUONAPARTE and his adherents can pretend to no privilege to murder, hut that which lawless force has given them.— The BOURBODi family, putting their hereditary right out of the question, are, by the Acts of the Sedate and the Deputies of the People, to all in- a • 1 , 5 en 3 anti purposes; the legal reigning Yna t)'.s •;. iiiranee - ; and in ihi3 Siai t niA; we Wye Only t° - back, fOr one y . ea'i l to fee 'them ciitifirn:ed by El` ` voice of the People at la t e, expressed iii eted t!ddreisei.
