Ccfiy «jf a letter from h s Afijes'y the Km
Jteror of the French K.ng of Italy iSc.
to her Majesty the (Ju< en of Sicily
and Cousin-I'lie events of the
year 1K05 interrupted our friendship and
harmony. A formidable coalition against
France, artfully planned in the cabinet of
Mr Pitt, and masked in an extraordinary
manner, and put in motion against my legi -
ons. th.;t were posted on the coasts of the
ocean, the Russian, German and Prussian
armies. In that critical situation, my duty
was to deliver France front the conflict, and
to disperse the dreadful storm, or nt least
tf diminish its effects. This I at length ac
e plished. bv bunging Prussia, Wirtem
berg and Bavaria, to a sense ol their own in
terests ; and by forming a treaty with king
Ferdinand, your m jesty’s spouse, in which
he engaged not to receive in his kingdom ei
. ther Russian or English troops. In c*>nse
quence thereof, my troops evacuated his
states. War was declared; and scaicely
had my eagles entered Vienna in trhimph,
when I learned that the court of N ,ples
had vi listed the sacred faith of the treaty,
and was admitting an army into its very ca
p- ml.
1 instantly knew that the seducMve g ,ld
of E g aud, opportunely employed by her a
gent, Acton, had triumphed over the de
bVhty of k i gFerdinand. The battle <>t Aus •
teth z secured to me the happy result of a
wat unjns ly provoked; and France and her
allies loudly demanded the destruction of the
Dy nasty ot Naples, which its perjury had
Covered with disgrace. Placed in this cri

monarch, what resource had I left ? Ymir

did this determina ion c- st me ! H w odi

w m 1 found my elf com,lied to a proceed

^Nevertheless, 1 did not lose sight of the in_
terests ot a misled and disgraced dynasty ;
and when it became impossible tor me to
re-establish it in Italy, I thought of giving
at an equivalent elsewhere. The proposi

Georg'i, leave no doubt as to tins tact ■ ■
To the war of Germany, notwithstanding thr
pacific overtures by Lord Lauderdale, and
the announced votages of the Russian mes
senger, Novoz itz ff, immediately succeeded
that of Prussia, whose sovereign would not
agree to the moderate proposals which I
made him. Instigated and blinded b Rus
si t, and the insinuations and promise* of
England,he, in a manner, presumed to dic_
tale the law to me, when Ins situation wa*
such as shou'.ii have rather prepared him to
receive it. A few da\s sufficed to convince
him of his error ; and. notwithstanding his
misconduct, my moderation left him in pos

faith of the H use of Spain, which though
my ally. no i*ly hesitated <o declare gunst

the victory ot Jena. The scandal -us quar
rcls between the father and son. the amhiti.
on and sordid conduct of the Prince of the
Peace, and the wish of rendering happy,
and divesting of its prejudices, a nation of
the fi s: tJti k, made me turn my views up_
ort that kii gdi m. The Spaniards weredis

XIV, has belonged to France. On the other
hand, Portugal was an English province ;
and the parliament of that nation having re*'
solved upon the system of perpetual war, it
was necessary to exclude their squadrons
frofn the continent, before they could have
an opportunity of committing such an cnor„

upon her rights to those crowns which sh<
formerly possessed, and your majesty will
instantly perceive, that events may occasi

From this motive I have resolved to'
place the crowns of Spam and Italy on the
heads ot brothers and relations, who besides
being princes ol my house, conceive that
they have contributed to mv elevation to the
1 hrone. Your majesty, who are aware that
every thing is linked together hy tmmutabh

I iie late war with Austria has enlightened
the Emperor Fiancis. with icgurd to his

It is with the highest satisfaction that I an
nouuce to your majesty this stroke of policy,
which, at the same time that it will confer
happiness on the greater part of Euiope,
, will open away for me to obtain the r> gard

House ot Spain will receive their indemmfi

not be adverse to my dynasty. As to your

exertion in its favor. Master of Spain and
Portugal, it will not be difficult for me to
take Gibraltar, and I shall then exclude the
E.glish from the Mediterranean They

Ionian Islands, and several of tlie Archipe

wisi to recover the states which your fami
ly formerly possessed in Italy. Imperious
circumstances have compelled me to make
s * many variations, that it is now impossible
lo alter them, and the islands nbove enume
rated me a complete equivalent. I have
explained my ideas toyour majesty, at full

sincerity which becomes one who is on, the

that the visit of the Duke may n it have had

of the present year the French and Du’cit
•tx -s are to be put up >n the san-e footing ;
l)ut in the lUettu time the interest of a great
part of the Dutch debt is reduced to oik
third ol its present ra‘e L
I his is, in fact, astisture of two thirds
of the property of the public creditors af
fi cted by it, and in a coumry where the
public debt constitutes a great part of the
property ot the people, will of course be a
relict, by means ot absolute ruin. Again,
it in said, that the freedom of commerce is
checked by the separation of the sovereign
ty of the mouths ol the great rivers of the
Fteuch empire, from that of their courset
and hv the harrier* and the lines of cus
tom houses and custom duties on the tron„
•iers, flee. All diese evils are tube remel
di. d: the Dutch people are to be enriched
in point of capital ; relieved in point of tax
es; regenerated in point of industry and
trade ; rest< red to their pristine naval power
and glory by being merged in the French
empire; and. by being enslaved themselves,
their ports and arsenals, ships, seamen, and
naval stations, arc to minister to the deli
verance ot Europe and die rescue of the
seas trom the tyranny ot Britain! The
Du ch peop'c understand this language well.
Fne event that iias happened has been for
some time h>- k *d forward to as the climax .
ot their misery ; the utmost limits of their
P w?rs ot e d .ranee. It appears as it an
o her Alva was come among them to rouse
invincible resis*unce, by oppressions intole
rable to human patience. The few lines
we have extracted are the only allusion this
report makes to Louis Bonaparte. The
child, Napoleon Louis, in whose name the
kingdo m was abdicate d, is treated with as
lifle ceremony—“hr is already sufficiently
provided for by being named Grand D.iko
ot Berg.” It must be avowed, that if Na
ll Icon has evinced untxamplfd munificence,
•did paternal affection, in giving kingdoms
to his brothers, he also shows a iii<js extra
ordinary facility in taking hem away. Toe

a hasty view of them, it does .iot appear
