LONDON, lONDAY, FERBUARY Q.
Three o'clock, p tn.

It is now rendered certain that the mission of the
Duke dc Gallo, who left Lavbach for Naples on
the 10!lt ult. wus to carry the ultimatum of the

Allied :i.:(ivereigns to the Neapolitan Parliament. He
did net, however, as some of the ihreign journals
state, proceed on his journey, tut was summoned

Lack to the Congress by a courier despatched idler
him, and did not finally quit Layhach till about the
6th inst. His instructionsAirect him to announce
to the parliament, as we are enabled to state on
something like official authority, that it is trecessury
that body should be immediately dissolved, and by
their own act, .inasmuch us the Allied Sovereigns
cannot consent to recognise a constitution, of which
they firm a part, which has been imposed on the
King's acceptance, not by his people in general, but
by the factious sect of the Carbonell. The Neapoli-
tans are required, as a preliminary state, to reinstate

the King in his possession of ull his former rights,

with the understanding that be will then sponta-
mously bestow on them a constitution better suited
to their habits. The form of the constitution pre-
scribed by the Allied Powers is carried by the Duke
de Gallo to Naples, and will be submitted to the
approbation of the parliament previous to their dis-

solution. This constitution is modelled, it is gene-
rally believed, on the French charter. The Neapo•
litans arc further required, in the event of compliance
with these conditions to surrender, as security for
their fulfilment, the four principal fortresses on the
frontiers into the hands of the Austrians, to be occu-

pied during five years by a force of 30,000 men.
Should these proposals be mje,ted, the Austrian
army will instantly advance, in a hostile manner,
into the Neapolitan territory. With respect to the
exrenses incurred by the march of the Austrian
airmy, the pri;ament are itirormed that no indem-
nity will be claimed by Austria, provided the con-
ditions proposed are acceded to; but should they be
reject cd, the whale evensc al the roar will be charged

wpm the Neapolitan nation. These btatements may
not perhaps be correct to the letter, but they may be
received us true in substance, and are peculiarly
valueLle at this moment, as, from the state of the
press on the Continent, scarcely a single article of
intelligence is permitted to reach the public eye in
an authentic shape, without recurring to the actual
difficulty of obtaining information on these subjects.
In regard to the deliberations of the Congress at
Laybach, they are considered to he nearly at an end
—a ircumstance probable in itself;inasinuch as the

path inarked out 'or Naples, and no alternative

the King of Naplis us fitr us Venire, and return to-
gether, by way of Trieste, to Vienna. The King
of Natiks will reside either at Venice, or some other
place within the Austrian dominions, there to await
;he result of the entry of the Austrian army into
Naples; and should their movements terminate with
the restoration of tranquillity, and an admission of
the terms prescribes' by the Allied Sovereigns, he
he will return to his capital. Some letters state that
he will accompany one of the divisions of the
army • but we consider the above to be the
more credible as well us the more authentic account.
A report had obtained currency at Vienna, in tile
political circles of that city, that the labours of the
Congress at Laybach would terminate by the pre•
paration of a conatitution, adapted to the altered
lairacter and intellectugl improvement of the Its.
Luis and Germans, and which would be voluntarily
tendered to their acceptance.
1 be actual situation of affairs st Naples is busied
is the deepest obscurity : none of the journals pub-
li-hed there are allowed to pass those towns in the
Austrian dominions through which they have been
hitherto regularly transmitted ; all letters are
opened, and those containing political intelligence
are destroyed. The same strict surveillance is %. ;ter.
eilicd on all communisations patting to Naples.
