Neither too many generations united
the reigning House of Savoy with the people, nor the benefits of
an enlightened Government. administered by a wise Prince. and
under paternal laws, nor the sad prospect of calamities to which
the country was exposed, !could restrain the disaffected from
their designs.
' " The plan o( a general subversion was prepared. In this
toenbination against the repose of nations, the conspirators of
Piedmont had their part assigned them. They were eager to
perform it.
" The throne and the state were betrayed ; oaths were violated
military honours tarnished ; and the contempt of every duty soon
produced the scourge of every disorder.
" Everywhere the pestilence exhibited the same character;
everywhere one uniform spirit directed these fatal revolutions.
" Not being able to assign plausible motives in their justifi-
cation, nor to obtain national support to maintain them, it was
in false doctrines that these contrivers of anarchy sought an apo-
logy : they fbunded, upon criminal associations, a still mote
ermined hope. In their eyes, the salutary supremacy of the laws
was a yoke which must be destroyed. They renounced those
sentiments which are inspired by a true lore of one's country.
and substituting for known duties, arbitrary. and undefined pre.
Unties for a minimal change in the constuutnt principles of
society. they mewed endless disasters for the world.
" The Allied Sovereigns saw the danger of lids conspiracy in
all their full extent, but they had also discovered the real weak-
ness of the conspiratore. in spite of their veil of declamation and
deceit Experience has verified their anticipations. The reast-
once which legitimate authority has encountered has been
useless; and crime hers disappeared at the sight of the sword of
justice.
"It is not to accidental causes—it is not even to the conduct
of nun who behaved so ill in the hour of battle, that this easy
seems should be autibuted. It has resulted from a more con.
mell principle—from one more worthy of attention.
!t7rovidence snuck with terror the tionseeince of men so
et/guilty ; and the censure of the public, whose fate was com-
promised by these artificers of mischief, caused the anus to fall
from their hands.
" Solely employed to 'contend with, and to put down rebel-
lion, the allied forces, fa from pursuing any exclusive interests,
have arrived to the aid of the people who were subjugated ; and
the people themselves have regarded the employment of those
troops as a support in femur of their liberty, not u an egression
upon their independence. From that moment the war ceased ;
from that moment the dates which revolution had mailed
became the friendly states of those powers which never wished
any thing bat their tranquillity and prosperity.
. ln the midst of these grave occurrences, and in a situation
thus delicate, Mt:Allied Sovereigns, in concert with the King of
the Two Sicilics and the Ring of Sardinia, have judged It indis-
pensable to adopt temporary measures of precaution. indicated
by prudence, abd called for by the general good. The allied
troops, whose presence was necessary for the reetoratidn of order,
have been placed in suitable positions, solely far the purpose of
protecting the free exercise of legitimate authority, and to assist
it in preparing, under this awe, those benefits which may efface
every vestige of such portentous misfortunes.
6' The justice and disinterestedness which have prevailed in the
deliberations of the Allied Monarchs will always continue to
regulate their policy. in future, as during the past, they it ill
ever prescribe to themselves the preservation of the independence
and of the rights of each state, suet as they are recognised and
defined by existing treaties. The irate. even of such an alarm-
irg crisis, will, under the Hospices of Providence. become the
consolidation of that peace which the enemies of the people.
attempted to destroy, and the stability of an order of things
which will ware to nations their repose and preeperity.
" Filled whit there sentiments. the Allied Sovereigns, in ter.
minting the eonferentier at haybach, have wished to announce
to the world the priorities* 'kith they have been animated.—
They are determined never to abandon them , and all the Mends
of order will contently see and find in their union a sure safe.

It is for this purpose that their Imperial and Royal Majesties
have ordered their Alinistas Pleniptitentiary to sign and publish

FRENCH PA,

Pants, MAT 29.—The process instituted in the
Netherlands against M.M. Goethels and Martens,
vicar-general of Ghent, and M. &emu, secretary
to the Bishop of Ghent, hss excited the most lively
interest throughout Belgium. Tikey were accused
of having pul;liAted, with the intention of disturbing
public order; u pastoral letter from M. de Broglie,
bishop of Ghent, in which that prelate was deemed
to have instigated disobedience to the government.
On the 25th the sovereign court of Brussels pro-
nounced a verdict of acquittal. The President,
tetbre delivering the judgment of the court, strictly
fel bade any expression of approbation or disappro-
bation from those present; but thy were not to Lc

themselves kto the greatctt excesses against the de.
fenceless christians. The .Porte are like the multi.
tude, with an inexorable cruelty, of which the an-
nals of Islamism have not for ageztoffered an example.
At the moment when the Greek patriarch and tile
other bishops were arrested by order of the Grand
Scignor, the Greeks who were collected in the
temples, struck with terror, took refuge in the
houses of the neighbouring ecclesiastics; but they
were pursued and massacred in great numbers by
the furious populace.
FRANKFOUT, MAY 24.—The President of the
Germanic Diet has communicated to that body the
declaration of the Allied Sovereigns. at Laybach.—
It was presented by Prince Metternich, and Baron
Anstett, Russian Minister to the Federation. The
Diet voted unanimously ,1 the homage of their
respectful acknowledgment to the Emperors of Rus-
sia and Austria for this communication, and the
assurance that they are of one mind in revering in
ell its parts the beautiful monument of their equity
and love of order which those sovereigns have
erected for the permanent consolation of all well-
intentioned men."
BAYONNE, MAY 20.—The Empeciaailo. not
havin,, been able tn suppress Merino's Guerilla band,
has been, it is said, suspected of treason, and sum-
moned to Madrid. He will; it is expected, be
succeeded by an undoubted patriot, whose. name is
not yet communicated.
All the suspected persons who have been arrested
in Galicia, have been embarked and sent off to the
Canary Islands. It is asserted that the military
Governor, Espoz Minas, was desirous of having
them all shot.

The famous Neapolitan Gen. William Pcpe is
arrived in Madrid.
Private letters from Augsburg, dated May 22,
state that arrests continue throughout the whole
extent of the kingdom of Naples. General Begani
(the same who surrendered Gaeta, conformably to
the direct orders of King Ferdinand) and General
Arcoviw have been arrested ; General Colletta and
Pcdrinelli, cx.guvcrnurs of Naples, arc still in prison;
nothing has yet been dune relatively to bringing them
to trial.
TitIESTE, MAY 12.—Aecoraing to news from
Patras, dated April '43, all the peninsula of the
Mores has shaken off the Mus►ulman yoke, The
citadels and fortresses declared for the cause of the
Greeks on the i)th of April, and the whole cuun
took up arms. Prince Michael Ypsilanti, brother
to him who commands in Walachia, had arrivoa in
that quarter on board a Greek vessel, mot put him
self at the head of the insurrection; with the Bishop
Nichols de Tripoliza, who has great influence over
the people.
A UtibOURG, MAY is announced that very
important despatches have urrivetFut Laybuch from
Coustatitinopble, transmitted by the ambassadors of
Russia and Austria, who are accredited to thc Sub-
lime Porte. The atrocities which have been com-
mitted in the Turkish capital, especially the horrid
murder of the Patriarch (which, it is said, has led
to a very spiraed declarations on the part of the
foreign ministers, appear to be the object of the
communication despatched to Layituat. The repre-
hensible acts in which the Ottoman government
have participated arc considered very impolitic.—
They have, by so doing, exasperated those of the
Greeks, whe took no part in the insur
consequences will certainly be most dangerous.

_iitical Chief. This st.tp did not
calm the impatience of the club : and on the morn-
ing of the 4th many groups assembled in the Piazza
of- the Constitution, and on all sides cries were
heard of " Away with the traitors who plot against
the system." The Captain-General calmed thin tu-
mult, by promising to accede to their desires ; and
in the night more persons were arrested. On the
night of the sth the Canon of Mentioned° Baqueri-
na, with another person of the same town, was
brought in prisoner, and was embarked for the castle
of St. Antony, to preserve him, it is said, front the
rage of some persons who probably would have at-
tempted his life.
Meantime the agitation among the Members of
the Patriotic Club, and some others, continued, and
the removal of the prisoners was insisted upon ; so
that there was reason to fear that the public tran-
quillity would be disturbed. This state of things
continued till the night of the Bth, when the fol-
lowing persons were embarked on board the brigan-
tine Hermosa Rita, us it is reported. for the due-
ries. I Here follows a list of above 40 names :
among these are above 20 Canons, and other eccle-
siastics, some merchants, and a late Governor of
Ferrol. The last name is the Marquis de Villa-
I verde.]
. .
Among these persons there arc bad, indiffbrent,
and good; the first should have been punished, fur
which nothing was necessary but to put them on
their trial ; it was sufficient to watch the second ;
the third were entitled to especial protection, and
all had a right to demand that the law, said not ar-
bitrary will, should decide on their cases. Let it
not be said that they showed in their countenance a
ferocious joy at the excesses of Merino, and that
they plotted the ruin of the system. if this were
certain, the judge would have sent them to the seat- • •
fold, or to the Phillippines ; and if not, no one had
a right to molest them. How lamentable, how Coal
will this oblivion of the first elements of the art of
governinc„4. Won become? Wo to our country,

After the embarkation of the persons sent away in

thirty persons, and more continued to arrive.
