SECOND COMPLAINT OF FRANCIS 11.
ADDRESSED TO THE EUROPEAN COURTS.

The following note has been addressed by the
Mlitister of Foreign Affairs of Francis 11. to the
cl:ipthmattie agents of that monarch. It is dated
Oath.; 15th instad
In a previhnh despatch I Made known to you in what
manner the feVolationary Government of N'aples had
despoiled the King ett meet and all the Royal Family
of their private fortune, and ?tilde& oalatnny to the viola-
tint! of all•laws. It was not enough: to. take possession
of the" iinmense artistical riches which his Majesty,
although they &longed to him by inheritance, had always
left at the command of his people, thereby drawing an
immense number of person's. to' the capital ; it was not
enough to arbitrarily confiscate this majorats of the
princes, the marriage portions of the princesses, the
resources of orphans ; the legacies left to the poor by
Feralhand IL, and the inheritance of the holy Princess
of Savoy, nit adored mother of the King our master,
but they have ohefttf the logic of anarchy by distributing
the private fortune of. thr; Royal family among indi-
viduals who for the last twelte• years have not ceased to
conspire against the dynasty, the throne, and social
order, and against all the principles vrhiCia, constitute
the basis of universally recognised right.
You will comprehend, sir, that these are not men
of sincere opinion who have fought and suffered
in the struggle against the established government,
and that it is not those men rho will profit by this sub-
-Persive act. Honest men, of whatever opinions they
may hef will reject with indignation all participation in
this act of rapine. After the glorification and remune-
ration of the regicide, those who have several times
sworn to murder Ferdinand 11. must have a large part
of the booty of his family's fortune. The justice of the
revolution wills that children shall be forced to remu-
nerate attacks committed against their parents. In the
decree enclosed, note well the preamble and the date.
It is therein said, "On the 15th of May, 1848, Ferdi-
nand 11. violated a sworn compact, filled the city
with terror and with blood,• substituted arbitrary acts
and Violence for the law, and from that time commenced
political persecutions." If a Government ever had a
right to make resistance it was on that day. For the
first time the representatives of the people assembled ac-
cording to the Constitution sworn to by the King and by
the nation, when, in order to prevent the pacific inaugu-
ration of parliamentary labours, revolution broke out.
Everyone knows that the Government adopted every
means of conciliation before it had recourse to force,
and that after the suppression of the outbreak it has-
tened according to the same constitution to convoke a
new Chamber. The decree above alluded to is
signed by King Victor Emmanuel as well as the others ;
the date of the 23rd October is posterior by two
days to the plebiscite attributing to Victor Em-
manuel the sovereignty of the Two Sicilies, and
by eleven days to the determination come to by the
King of Sardinia not to wait for the plebiscite,
and to pass the frontier of the kingdom and take
possession by force of the States possessed by the House
of Bourbon. The insolence of those acts is evident,
since the King of Sardinia has conspired against the
throne of the King of the Two Sicilies, and, violating
Divine and human laws, went in person to consummate
an odious aggression, and now lends his name, his
authority, and his armed force to the execution of those
enormities of which he dares to take the responsibility
before Europe and before posterity.
I have considered it my duty to address myself to you,
Sir, in order that.you may make known to the Cabinet
to which you are accredited in what manner the King's
Government regards those facts, and in order that you
may solemnly and formally protest on the part of Francis
11. against the revolutionary decree of the 23rd October.
Be kind enough to leave a copy of this despatch with
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and acknowledge the
receipt of it.

PROTEST OF SPAIN AGAINST SARDINIA.

The following is from the protest of the Span-
ish Government, against the entrance of the
Piedmontese troops into the Neapolitan territory.
It is dated from Turin, 9th October, and bears
the signature of the Spanish Ambassador at the
Court of Sardinia :
The treaties constituting the international law on
which the peace and equilibrium of Europe repose,
cannot be cancelled by univeral suffrage, exercised under
the circumstances and in the form that it will be in
Southern Italy. Europe will never admit, in its rela-
tions between nation and nation, a political criterion
which would overthrow all legitimate right and all
international facts.

To condemn the series of facts which have brought
the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies into its present con-
dition, the undersigned need not to appeal to the most
simple rudiments of right, or to the opinion of Europe,
or to the higher principles of morality ; it will suffice
to cite the severe but just judgment which the Sardinian
Government has itself pronounced on the armed inva-
sion of Sicily and Naples, and to repeat the explicit and
solemn reprobation which official documents have in-
flicted, in the name of Victor Emmanuel, on those who
violated the territory of a friendly Power, making war
on a nation which was at peace with Sardinia.
It is in vain that attempts are made to justify this
intervention, so hostile to the King of the Two Sicilies,
by the desire of putting an • end to a state of anarchy
arising out of voluntary aggressions, and by the inten-
tion of preventing demagogical revolution from making
itself the master in Southern Italy. Right-thinking
minds and Governments truly conservative will, with
reason, maintain that the violation of all international
principles, and the ostracism of legitimate dynasties can
never be an effectual means of checking the development
of revolutionary elements in Italy and in Europe.
The Spanish Government, which has spared no effort
within the spheie of its influence to obtain a close
alliance between the principal States of the Italian
Peninsula, and has always seconded every tendency
calculated to bind the interests of the Princes to those of
their people, contemplates with deep grief the series of
events 'which, commencing by the attack made on the
legitimate rights of an innocent orphan in the person of
Duke Robert 1., continuing with the invasion of the
States of the Holy Father, and finished by the conquest
of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the annexation
of Southern Italy to the hereditary possessions of the
King of Sardinia.

Loss OF SEVEN LIVES.—A sad catastrophe occurred
on Wednesday night week. A sloop called the Char-
lotte was on her way from Leeds to Lincoln with a
cargo of rape cake, and while taking the turning from
the river Ouse into the river Trent she came in violent
collision with a sandbank and capsized. The tide was
running at the rate of eight knots an hour at the time,
and the unfortunate vessel turned completely over, bot-
tom upwards. There were seven persons on board at
the time, the whole of whom were drowned. They
consisted of the commander of the sloop, Capt. Taylor,
his wife, and two children; the mate, named William
Hopkinson and a young woman and a boy, who were
going to Lincoln. Another vessel was near at hand
when the Charlotte capsized, but no assistance eould'be
rendered to any of the persons on board the unfortunate
sloop.
REPRESENTATION OF PEMBROKESHIRE.—III conse-
quence of the elevation of Viscount Emlyn to the Upper
House, Mr. G. Lort Phillips, of Lawrennv Park, has
issued the following straightforward and practical
address, soliciting the suffrages of the electors :—" A
vacancy having occurred in the representation of this
county by the lamented decease of the Earl of Cawdor,
and the consequent elevation of the Viscount Emlyn to
the House of Lords, I venture to offer myself as a
candidate for the vacant seat, and to solicit your
suffrages. having always entertained Conservative
principles I shall continue to be guided by them. If I
should have the honour of being elected your representa-
tive I would support all measures likely to be conducive
to the general good of the country, and I would not
oppose any improvements which a change of circum-
stances may require. I would support any government
in keeping up a strong force in the country by sea and
land, and in giving full encouragement to the volunteer
movement, as I am convinced that the best way of
ensuring peace is to be prepared for war. If you should
do me the honour of electing me as your representative,
I would carefully watch over the interests of this ceunty,
and no efforts on my part should be wanting to merit
the confidence you may place in me."
Tun FOREIGN COURTS.—The Archduke Maximilian
and the Princess Charlotte have arrived at Vienna,
from Trieste.—The King of the Belgians is now nearly
recovered from the violent cold from which he has
been for some time suffering.—The King of Hanover
has sent Colonel Von Geyso and Lieutenants Prince
Von Solms and Von Beck to St. Pertersburg, to attend
the funeral of the Empress Dowager.—The Princess of
Prussia had made arrangements to return to Berlin at
the end of last week, but the Empress of Austria being
expected at Coblentz, where H.R.H. is residing, the
Princess will wait, it is believed, to receive her Majesty.
The report the King and Queen of Holland were about
to visit the Emperor at Compiegne, is unfounded; 'but
the Prince of Orange, heir apparent to the Dutch Crown,
is said to be expected there. The Berlin journals state
that MM. Friedeberg, of that city, jewellers to the
Russian Court, have executed a medal commemorative
of the death of the Empress Dowager, and similar to
one which they coined on the occasion of the death of
of the Emperor Nicholas, in 1855. The medal,
which is in gold and silver, is designed by Professor
Fischer, and bears on one side the effigy of the Empress,
and on the other the Byzantine cross, with the date
Ist Nov., 1860.—The Precurseur of Antwerp says:
"We are informed, on good authority, that the Empress
of Austria is to arrive on the afternoon of the 21st, at
the Hotel St. Antoine, in this city, where apartments
have already been taken for her Majesty and suite, the
latter consisting of 50 persons, among whom are the
Princess Windischgraetz and the Princess deTour et Taxis.
Her Imperial .Majesty is to remain one or two days at
Antwerp, and then to embark in the Osborne direct for
Madeira." Other accounts froM Vienna state that the
Empress of Austria had been attacked by' pulmonary,
hemorrhage, and that her Majesty bad, in consequence,
become so much worse that the projected departure for
the Island of Madeira is likely to be postponed. A
letter from Copenhagen, 12th inst., says :—" The King
came the day before yesterday into this city to visit
the Landgrave William of Hesse, who celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary of his marriage with Princess Char-
lotte, his Majesty's aunt. On this occasion there were
great rejoicings at Court. The King attended a dinner
offered by Prince Frederick of Hesse, and a ball given
by Prince Ferdinand, at which 800 persons were present.
At the ball his Majesty wore a Swedish uniform, and
remained until two o'clock. Yesterday the King, after
attending a Cabinet Council, returned to Jrcgerspriis.
His Majesty has nominated the Landgrave of Hesse
Commander of the Order of Daneburg, an honotir rarely
given. The Landgrave was born in 1787, and the
Princess, his wife, in 1789 ; but both, notwithstanding,
their great age, enjoy excellent health."
