may of their rights: but the perfidies does not here turn on
the din-elision of theories The pout to be proved is—anil we
think we have sufficiently proved it—that Austria (scwl
reasuaislily take advantner of a stipulation which related to
(laciestt epochs and different circumstances, in order to jug.
lily an opposition to our political reform.
To what, then, can we attribute the altitude that Ambit
ham taken, sod still tinily assumes, again.. us ? What can
be the motive fur the augmentat ion, s ire ss wall as preci-
pitate, of the Austrian troops iii Italy ? As Ion: a. the King
imagined that, in taking this step, the Cabinet of Vienna had
in view only the maintenance of the goodorder and the inte-
rior tranquillity of his Italian Slates, his Majesty resreted
the right which every power has of doing in its own country
whatever may apprar advisable. But when the Court of Vs•
ens. obstinately.refuses to enter into any explanation with
that of the Two Sicilia's, mud to receive the repre-entatives and
arida of the King—when the F.Noperor refuse, 'veep!, to the
tustlielential letters of his Majesty—when the Austrian Catii•
net eirculrles notes among the Allied Powers, the Germanic
Cuufederation, and the Italian Governments, against the
new order ti thiaga established is Naples—when, in short,
the newspapers of Vienna sled Milan officially promulgate
sentiments hostile to us, which a 'elf respecting govern-
ment should never authorise, the Kiag would be wanting to
the sentiment of his owa dignity—to what be owes to the
heave and generous natio. whose destiniea have been con-
fled to hits by Providence—..if he slsuweil himself indiffe-
rent to se inconceivable a conduct on die part of a I, iendly
and allied Government.

We most confess that, the more we reflect on these phrases,
the sees cats we comprehend their meaning, especially when
we welch attentively Anil candidly the events that have taken
place in Naples. Because the Kink, free its Isis palace, in
the midst of Isis Council, composed of his ancient Ministers,
formed the regulation of satisfying the unanimous wish of
his 'resettle, by granting them a system noire adapted to
their necessities, more conformable to the knowledge of
the age, and whirls hr would have granted them earlier, hail
not their desists been concealed (ruin him, the Cabinet of
Vienna imagines that the social edifice is sapped to its foun-
dation! Wben the legitimacy of the rights of the reigning
family has been lousily proclaimed, guaranteed, sod cos& w-
ed by the greeral wish of the nation—when this natinn has
sheen, from the first moment of its political chinge, the
most profound veneration and the must absolut se devotion
t., the King and Royal Family, it is yeti:eldest that the seen•
city of thrones is menaced ! When it is universally known
that ws have carried, even to scrupulosity, the respect fur
the rights, independence, and institutions of other nations,
having reflex,' to hatermedelle iu any manner whatever with
the affairs of Benevento and Polite Cerro, tbongh dense states

auto addressed to the King the most urgent requests to be
re-united to the Monarchy of the Two sicilies—and when,
in literally execrating a burdensome stipulation which extra.
ordinary circumstances sad imposed upon us, we pay wills
the greatest ermines* to Prime Heauhartiois Ilse five mil-
lions of francs which the Government' bail engaged $o supply
to is maintained that acknowledged institutions
and the repose of nations are eltdaogered!
Fortunately the facts jest stated are teo notorious to be
doubted, and the Cabinet of Vienna has not even for a long
time been able to slissenthle their acknowledgment. There.
fore, in the confidential explanation which his Highness
Prince Metternich has had with she Prince de Chinni', be
attacked us with other arms. According to the opinion of
his Highness, the Carbonrtri were the pole instigators of the
events that have happened at Naples ; they forted the King's
inclination and the majority of the nation, excited the army
to rebellion, and proclaim'd a defective constitution which
offers nu guarantee of stability.
Such arc, in short, the new grievances which the Anstriso
Minister urges to the Prince sic Chenille against our poli-
tical reform. Let us examine ahem with calmness and
without bitterness. . .

In consecseetre, his. Majesty has ordered the Under.
signed to address himself to his Highness Prince Metter.
inch, to require a positive and categorical explanation re-
specting the intention of these extraordinary armaments, and
respecting the altitude that Anodise has assumed towards the
Neapolitan Government ; an atilt ude as contrary to the bonds
and seuitimeisis of friendship existing between the two Courts
as it is at variance with the principles of frate►nity and dis-
interestedness which the Allied Sovereigns have proclaimed
in presence of the whole world.
The King, who has received so many proofs of coeiliality
and attaehmeot from his Majesty the Emperor, his •must
nephew and sew-in-tae, doubts not but that the explatestoi y
information contained in this note, be dissipating the sinister
impressious which malevolence or the individual passions
of some enemy to the retinae of Europe may have in-
spired in him, will cause him to renounce terry hostile
project against • nation which has closely admired his
great virtues: for certaiely of any circumstance could tarnish
the splendour of those virtues, it would be the aggression
which Austria might meditate against the kingdom of the
Two Sirilies. Posterity 'sushi scarcely give credit to such
an injustice—an outrage so hostile to the rights of natioue,
and the move odious, as the same Power which would reader
itself guilty of such a crime never opposed the smallest
States a Germany in framing Constitutions to themselves,
and took no tarp, at least po public our, towards Spate,
• whose example we followed.
To other motives, therefore, must be attributed the war
that Austria would undertake against a pacific nation, solely
occupied with its uwu welfare, and noxious to maiiitaiss the
best understanding with every foreign Power, mid to cement
t he particular relations existing between the Courts of Naples
and Vienna.
The high opinion which his Majesty the King bas of the
individual qualities of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, is
to him a guarantee of the justice and wisdom that will pre-
side at his deliberations; and he believes that he is out mis-
taken in thinking that, at no distant p►riod, the Ass.
trials Government will ■hake off its prejediees against
us, and that the bonds of frieuilahlp which formerly
united the two States will be again cemented for the re.
ciprocal advantage of le.th uatious. But if, unfortunately,
this hope should not he realized, time King and the whole
nation being determined to defend, to the last extremity,
the independence of the kingdom and constitution, which is
the palladium of our rights, and the firmest support of legi-
timate monarchy—are ready to bury themselves under the
rola' of their country, sooner than "Omit to • foreign yoke.
The example of the heroic resistance of the Spaniards to the
despotism of Napoleon would encourage ns ; and if the re-
ports which the Cabinet of Vienna receives from Naples' are
founded on troth, it will not suppose what we here advasierd
to be exaggerated.
The Undersigned, therefore,• liege of hie Highness Prince
Metternish to lay this note beam Isis Imperial mid Roman
Apostolic Majesty, and to give it au early and precise Amore,
iii order that we nosy know how to appreciate the intentimis
of the Court of Vienna.
