THE LATE KING OF NAPLES.

Feulimind the First, who has lately died, was the son of
Charles the Third, King of Spain. He was horn at Naples
the 12th January 1751, and ascended the throne of the two
Sicilies at the age of eight, when his father was called in
1759 to the Spanish throne. Upon the 7th April 1768, he
married Amelia Carolina of Austria ; this alliance was
attended with many Misfortunes : the influence of the
Minister Ac:on, and of Lady Hamilton, was the source of
violent dissensions. whickw, re followed by acts of vengeance
equally violent. The King, a party to the coalition formed
agait►at France, was obliged to leave his kingdom in Sept.
1798. Ile returned in January 1800, after Nelson had
taken Naples, and made way fur his restoration. Having
again engaged in 180 S in a new treaty against France, he
was once more driven from hit dominlons,indermspellesl to
retire to Sicily. Joseph Bonaparte and Murat successively
occupied his throne until ISIS, upon which he was re-
placed after the expulsion of the latter.
The Revolution of July 1820 compelled him to leave
his kingdom a third time ; he was recalled after hav-
ing accepted the CottStitution and sworn to main-
tain it. With the consent of the Legislative Body he join-
ed the Allied Sovereigns at Laybach, and did not return to
Naples until March 1821. when the Austrians had
made the conquest of the kingdom. Since that period the
King, having in his dominions an Austrian army of occupa-
tion, reigned until the 3d of this month, when he died sud-
denly.He had a numerous family,connected with many of the
Sovereigns of Europe. He left as successor his eldest son
Francis-Canvier Joseph, Duke of Calabria, born the 19th
August, 177 t. This Prince having lost his wife, Marie-
Clementine, Arch-Duchess of Austria, he married upon the
6th October, 1602, the Infanta Marie Isabelle, sister of
the King of Spain. By the first marriage he had but one
child, the Duchess of Berry ; by the second ten, four
Princes and :ix Princesses ; the eldest, Frederic Charles,
Duke de Noto, now Hereditary Prince of the two Sicilies,
was born upon the l2th January, 1810.
