a semi-official journal, alleges that these Spanish ti's )ops

ment when the journals of Turin give each other
the cue for vehement descriptions of the livrely en-
thusiasm with which King Victor Emmanuel has
been received in the south of Italy, it is curicras to
observe that the city of Naples has sent an Ad-
dress to congratulate King Francis the Second on
his birthday, bearing no less than 27,108 signa-
tures, This is a prodigious number, if we remembe r

Naples, and that the police wore obliged to take
strong measures to make sure of that enthusiastic
reception of the King which has thrown the Pied-
montese journals into such transports of joy. The
Neapolitan address expresses the mast profound
sentiments of devotion and fidelity to the noble and
unfortunate King. The following is its tenour :
Sire,—To-day is the third anniversary of your Majesty's
birthday which the Neapolitan people pass far away from
you in the misery and bitterness of a foreign tyranny. If it
had pleased Providence to hear our prayers, we should have
gone to-day to salute your Majesty, wearing your kingly
diadem, and seated on the glorious throne of Charles the
Third, whereas our hopes and prayers must reach your.
Majesty in the land of exile, where your lot has been cast
by the injustice of the world and the ingratitude of man.
But, Sire, the time of trial which it remains to endure will
be short, for God has indicated the end of an unholy
triumph, and our hearts tell us the hour of your return.

Accept, then, Sire,the ardent hopes and sincere wishes of
your faithful subjects, receive them as a pledge of that cry'
of joy which will rise from the heart of the entire nation on-
the day when you shall return among us, accompanied by
her who has shared all your perils, and is your Angel of
Consolation in a stranger land.
This act of duty which we accomplish in the midst of the
tears of a people, the suspicions of an abhorred Government,
and the torments of honest men, we shall fulfil on a happier
day, when justice, peace, and true liberty shall be united by
an indissoluble bond.
