NAPLES AND THE WESTERN POTVSES•

The following is a full translation of the article
in the Moniteur, of which a summazy appeared
ip our impression of yesterday :

" As soon as peace was concluded the first care
of the Paris Congress was to insure its duration.
With that object in view the Plenipotentiaries
examined into the elements of discord which still
existed in Europe, and especially turned their
attention to the condition of Italy, of Greece, and
of Belgium. The observations exchanged on that
occasion were everywhere received with a spirit of
cordial understanding, because they were inspired
by a sincere solicitude for the quiet of Europe,
and at the same time evinced the respect which
was due to the independence of all sovereign
States.

" Thus, in Belgium the Government, agreeing
with the opinion upon the excesses of certain or-
gans of the press, showed itself disposed to put a
stop to them by every means in its power.
" In Greece the financial plan of organisation
submitted to the appreciation of the protecting
Courts proves the readiness of the Greek Govern-
ment to hearken to the counsels of the Congress.

"In Italy the Holy See and the other States
admit the expediency of clemency and internal
re foi m

"The Court of Naples alone haughtily rejected
the counsels of France and of England, although
given under the most amicable form.

"The rigorous and compressive measures which
for a long time have been turned into means of
administration by. the Government of the Two
Sicilies keep Italy in a state of agitation, and
compromise the peace of Europe. Convinced of
the dangers arising from such a state of things,
France and England bad hoped to avert them by
wise counsels given at an opportune moment ;
those counsels have been disregarded ; the Go-
vernment of the Two Sicilies, closing its eyes to
evidence, has thought fit to persevere in a fatal
course.

" The ungracious reception given to legitimate
observations, an unjust suspicion cast upon the
purity of intentions, an insulting language in
reply to wholesome advice, and finally an obsti-
nate refusal, no longer permitted the continua-
tion of friendly relations.
"Complying witn the suggestions of a great
Power, the Cabinet of Naples endeavoured to ex-
tenuate the effect produced by its first reply ; but
this semblance of condescension was only an addi-
tional proof of its resolution to take no heed of the
solicitude of France and England for the general
interests of France and Europe. Hesitation was
no longer warranted ; it became necessary to
break off diplomatic intercourse with a Court
which had itself so deeply altered the character of
that intercourse.

"This suspension of official relations by no
means constitutes an intervention in the internal
affairs of Naples, still less an act of hostility.
:4 As, however, the safety of the subjects of
the two. Governments might be endangered, to
provide for such a contingency, they have
assembled a combined squadron ; but they have
refrained from sending their ships to the waters
of Naples, to avoid giving rise to erroneous inter-
pretations. This simple measure of eventual
protection, which in no manner partakes of a
menace, cannot either be considered as a support
or encouragement offered to those who endeavour
to upset the throne of the King of the Two
Sicilies.

" If, moreover, the Neapolitan Government,
returning to a just appreciation of the sentiments
which actuates the Governments of France and of
England, should finally understand its real in-
terests, the two Powers would hasten to renew
with it the relations which previously existed, and
will be happy by this reconciliation to give a new
guarantee for the peace of Europe."

Despatches from the Governors of New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia were received yesterday at the Colonial-
office.
