TO THE KING OF NAPLIES.
" I say nothing to you of my displeasure at your conduct, which
has been diametrically opposite to your duty. That however belongs
to the weakness of your nature. You are a good soldier on the field
of battle, but, excepting there, you have no vigour, and no characw.
Take advantage of an act of treachery, 'which I only attribdte to fear,
in order to serve me by good intelligence. I rely upon you, upois
your contrition, upon voua PROMISES. If it were otherwise,
recollect that you would have to repent it. I suppose that
you are not one of those who imagine that the Lion is dead,
and that he may be upon (et qu'on pent lui piscer dessub).—lf
such are your calculations, they are false. I defeated the Austrians
yesterday, and I am in pursuit of the remnant of their colutniis.
Another such victory, and you will see that my alltirs are not so
desperate as you have been led to believe.
" You have done me all the harm that you could since your depar-
ture from V 1 Una, hut we shall say no more about it. The title of
King has turned your brain. If you wish to preserve it, behave well,
AND KEEP YOUR WORD.

TO THE KING OF NAP LIS.
. March 7.
Slits MY BROTHIR—I have already communicated to you my
opinion of your conduct. Your sitnatian had set you beside yourselt,
my reverses have completely turned your brain. You have callkd
around you nen who hate France, and who desi'e to ruin yqu. I
formerly gave you useful warnings, what you write to me is at vari-
ance with your actions. I shall, however, .ske by your manner of
acting at Ancona if your heart is still French, anti if it is to necessity
alone that you yield. I write to my War Minister, in order to set
him at ease with regard to your conduct. Recollect Opt your king-
dom, which has cost so much blood and trouble to. France, is youll'S
ONLY FOR THE BEN Errr of THOSE WllO SAYE AT YOU. It is needless
to send me an answer unless you have something i portent to com-
municate. RIMILMBIER.TNAT I MADE 1166 A 'KIND WALE POP. Tilt
INTEREST or MY SYSTEM. Do not deceive yourself. If you should
cease to be a Frenchman, you would be nothing to me. Continse to
corre"poiid with the Viceroy, taking care that your letters be not Lt.

DECLAMATION OF TM? KING' OF FRANCE.

GHENT, Artist IL 18i5.
.44 At the•moment when we are about to: place ourselves
amid our people, we consider that we 9we them in the face
of Europe, a formal deelarat ion of our Allies. -`
" When Heaven and the Nation ree2lled us to the Throne.
we made before t;od the solemn promise, very soothittig to
our heart, to forget injuries, and to labour without relaxation
for the happiness of our subjects.—The sons of Sr. Loris
have never betrayed either Heaven or their Country.
" Already had our people recovered, throUeb our care,
plenty at home and peace abroad—the esteem of all nations.
Already the throne, weakened by so many shocks, had begun
to be firmly re-established, when treason forced us to c :it
our capital, and to seek refuge on the confines of our Sta;cs.
However, Europe has taken up arms—Europe, faithful to
its treaties, will know no other King of France, except our-
selves. Twelve hunched thousand men are allot* to march,
to assure the repose of the world, aud, a second time, to de-
liver our fine country.
"An this state of things, alnan whose whole strength is at
present made up of artifice and delnsion, endeavours to lead
astray the spirit of the nation by his fallaci.,us ptoinises—to
raise it against its King, and to drag it along with him into the
abyss, as if to accomplish his frigh:ful prophecy of ,18 14 :--
"if I fall, it diall be known how much the overthrow of a
great man costa."
" Amid the alarms which the present danger of France
have revived in onr hearts, the Crown, which we have never
looked upon but as the power of doing good, would to cur
I eyes have lost all its alarms, and I‘c should have rettausal
