held out by one State to the subjects of another
to embrace disaffection and rebellion—where
offers of aid and seductions to fraternization were
t.acked by promises of assistwoce. Such an ex-
ample they had in the French National Decree of
1793, which he would have admitted to hue been a
fair cense for war, had explanation been first of all
dentended on one aide, and refused by the other.'
Thu cause, in short, for any such national intaglio"
' rence ought to be laid in the most satisfactory era-
eons of necessity.' But such a monstrous autumn-
'Sinn had never been set by the most unprin-
cipled ambition, u the light of interfering with the
national errangeraents of civil government in any
ronotry, becetaethe alterations of that particular
,P.,overnment'vere likely to be followed as au exam-
ple by the people of other States wishing to reform
• she ineOrreetness or ahtmes or their governments. So
olisrisirous a principle had never herd promulgated
'ea Comitenaneed by any passage in any writer on na-
tional low, nor hail it been assumed by the most wan-
ton and insolent ambition. Here was a case in which
• no danger was threatened to other States—a people
quietly operating a very needful change in their go-
veitoment--•-the civil authorities employed io the con-
atitutional exercise of their functions—the power of
.the monarchy uudergoing limitation, instead of
being left at large in the most bestial dominion of
personal authority, ac might be proved to have been
the case by the very low, by the lowest degrada-
tion uud misery to which the people were reduced.
That circumstances such si these should be deemed
to convey the right of interfering with the rights of
nations, and violating the principle of sovereignty,
the right of the Nlonareh, independeut of all other
Powers, to make alterations in the political arrange-
ments of the country over which ha had to rule,
was ' more than could have been expected from
their domineering and unprincipled ambition.
Never, perhaps, hail there been• a revolution opt-
Tab.(' BO peaceably mid innocently. Not a drop
of blond had heels shed in Naples. . The king,
whose authoiity was admitted and established,
had sanctioned the Constitution with his oath.
Atid yet Austria hail denounced vengeance on
Naples from a general principle of right of Inter-
ference; and Great Britain, on terms of amity
with Naples, had neeslected to oppose the mon-
strous principle on which Austria had denounced
her vengeance. Ilia Lordship referred the Muse

the General appealed to the Powers of Europe for
the prod& of the entire integrity and propriety of
Naples in conducting the revolution to its issue.—

l'lte Allied Posers state their reasons for inter-
fering to rest on the danger of example. But this
could be no excuse fur the conduct of Olio:stem;
