CONFERENCE.

VIENNA, OCT. 20.

The subjoined note, dated Gaeta the 6th of Oct.,
was this day presented to the Emperor in private
audience by Prince Petrulla, ambassador of the
King of Naples :

At the moment of retiring from the capital to combat on
the line of the Volturno the adventurers who had urged on
the revolution of which they were the promoters, and had
invaded his territory, his Majesty the King of the kingdom
of the Two Skilies hastened to address to all the powers of
Europe a formal protest against the acts of the adventurer
Garibaldi, against the scandalous and unprincipled inva.
Moe, which, threatening the kingdom with speedy ruin, de-
stroyed thus all the principles of public right, upon which
the gaiety and independence of nations are based.

From the moment when the revolution, regularly orga.
°heed throughout Europe, found a chief and an army, when
a neighbouring ',osier allowed it tome its flag—when Be har-
bours supplied it with arms, with a navy and soldiers—the
King indulged in the hope that being alone to combat
against all the forces of the European revolution, Europe
would come to his aid, at least prevent the Piedmontese
territory from serving as the headquarters of in.
conceivable enterprises. But the states of Europe
have not deemed it incumbent upon them, or
in their interest, to oppose this invading march
of the revolution, and the kingdom of the Two Sicilia'
being left to its own strength, undermined by internal
treason, by attacks from without, and weakened by a
situation in which Sardinia had all the advantages of the
war without having its inconveniences and dangers, is in
danger of succumbing.
. _

But his overthrow cannot take place without opening a
new era for Europe ; the old treaties are abolished, a new
public right is consecrated ; the world is made aware, by
our example, that revolutionary adventurers are permitted
not only to come and fight with armed hands against the
best-established thrones, but freaky to navigato with their
vessels thin Mediterranean sea, where all the nations
of the world have commercial and political interests.
For four months Europe has seen, astonished but inactive,
thousands of soldiers of the revolution ;musing amid the
squadrons of all the maritime nations in vessels laden with
arms and warlike stores ; the harbours of a power in rela-
tions of peace and amity with the kingdom of the Two Sid-
lies serving as an asylum and inviolable refuge for those
who ems to invade oar territory, and the flag of the Royal
Sardinian navy covering with impunity the beet and butte.
lions of the revolutionary chief, whose acts the goverutneut
of the King of Sardinia bad disapproved officially, had
accused of criminality and usurpation.

This example will not be lost, and in face of the maims
given by events to this destruction of the okl international
and puLlic law, all the independent dates of the world must
feel themselves alike threatened. The consequences will
not have long to be waited for, and in fact even before the
overthrow of the dynasty and legitimate government of
the kingdom of the Two Sieihes is entirely consummated,
the Piedmonts's, armies without apparent motives invade
the States of the Church, and without caring to allege any
other pretext than the necessity of bringing aid to the
revolution.

General Fanti's letter to General de LamoriciZre is the
most evident proof that the rights of nations and the public
law of Europe exist no longer.

After discharging to the utmost of his strength the rude
teak devolved upon him, that of contending against both
internal revolution and foreign invasion, the one impelled
by the other, there only remains for the King of the Two
&eines the duty of again addressing the powers of Europe
to assert the lawfulness of his cause, to point out
the rock upon which his own throne hes suffered ship.
wreck, and on which other thrones will do the rune ; to
protest against the acts and coneequenoes of the invasion, of
which he is a victim, and to leave to the impartiality rd
public opinion the appreciation of the event., that will force
him perhaps to quit the monarchy he held of God, of his
right, and of the love of his peoples.
