reply to the invitation of the Prince, which was not tery satisfac-
i tory, was speedily made known,. and produced a painful sensation.
All the Ministers, loth old and new, together with those who
signed the act of abdication of King Victor EmManuel, were
immediately assembled to hear the answer of King Felix. The
abdication of King Victor Emmanuel Was. acconvanied by an
act intimating that the King had given a promise- to the three
foreign Powers nut to adhere to any constitution that might be
imposed on him and that, not wi:;hing to break his Word, or
sacrifice his people, he had resolved to abdicate.
It is•confidently stated, that a Deputation is about to be sent
-to Nice, to entreat Victor Emmanuel to write a letter to his
brother, begging him tc accept the (;town, and to return to his
dominions. - • •

" Our very mighty Sovereign, King Charles Fait, replies to
the communications (which, m our quality of Prince Urgent,
we have thought it our duty to make to him) in such a way as
leads to the supposition that, during. his absence, he has Rot
been fully acquainted with the situation and the affairs of his
Kingdom. We, who are faithful subjeCts, and I who am the
first, consider it our duty to explain to his Majesty the present
situation and the wishes of his people : we shall thereby ne-
cessarily'. attain the happy result that will be dictated by the
heart of a Prince intent on rendering his subjects happy: The
Government, which is firm and vigilant, does not doubt the.
co-Operation of the good citizens in maintaining the state of or:
der and tranquillity so happily restored, and also in preserving
to the monarch a flourishmg kingdom, whose inhabitants are
united by a spirit of concord and peace.

44 An enemy, without any provocation on our
part, threatens the independence of the Nation
and the Throne. lie wishes to make us consent
to the destruction of our liberties, and leaves us
no other alternative but submission or war.
" People of the Two Sicilies ! a nation which
has not renounced its dignity,,and is conscious of
the justice of its rights, cannot a single moment
hesitate which to prefer. The noble ardour
which you-have manifested in the maintenance of
so just and honourable a cause inspires-'we
the fullest. reliance that God will protect our in-_
nocence, and render our armies victorious.
" I have, been unremitting in, my efforts to pro-,
vide for our defence. A numerous army is on
our frontiers,. which is daily reinforced lxy -fresh
troops from the interiOr of our Kingdom, and all
classes' fly with alacrity to the defence of our-
Country. If the confidence we place in our own
forces offers a certain omen of success, that con-
fidence cannot be increased err become more
neral.

" Union. and Constancy are the two qualities
which I recommend you- to preserve amid the
vicissitudes of war and fortune. Encounter
boldly dangers and fatigues, and by this means
you will overcome them, Bear in mind that a
nation is invincible, when it lights-in defence of
its,country and independence.

in your peril's and fatigues, co-nlident that by this

may rely-both on the protection of Heaven and
the approbation of men.

N'Tr THOMAS WALLAcr last night brought
ward the question of the Tiniber Duties in the
House of Commons, and in a Committee of the
whole House moved a series of Resolutions
founded on the recommendatory part of the Re-
port of the 'Foreign Trade Committee. The
Hon. Gentleman- went at considerable length
into a detail of accounts, to shew that since the
year 1309, the Shipping employed in our inter-
course with British North America, our exports
of Home Manufactures to that country, and our
import of Timber from it, had increased in a
i wonderful degree, exceeding all expectation,
whilst there had not been a corresponding in-
crease in our import of that article from the
Baltic and .the North of Europe in the same pe-
riot!. The inference which he drew from this
important fact was curious and singular; namely,
that such a state of this trade is injurious to time
Colonist and British. Manufacturer, and abso-
lutely ruinous to the :British,Shipowner. ,We.
are-unable to eonjecctuve,.the train of reasoning"
by , which theJlon.:l;entleman arrived at this
conclusion, but when w: know that the feelings
of alarm and apprehension which the agittltion
of this. question has excited,extend to every branch
Of the Shipping and- Colonial Interests, we must
confess that we are disposed to think it is not
founded on any just or correct principle. With
regard to " the more liberal policy," to the
adoption of which the Hon. Member stated that
be considered this measure as only a step, and A
VERY SMALL ONE, we agree in opinion with Mr. ,
M.taa VAT. We shall ever think it the worst and •
most injudicious policy }hat the Legislature, op- .
pressed as the Country now is by :debt of eight
hundred Millions, could sanction ; and we are •
confident that a few years experience wi-1/ con-
since its advocates that the advantages which
they expect to flow from it are altogether vision-
ary and delusive. We refer our Readers to Mr.
MAntry.-trr's speech, \Mich we • think most ably
refuted the arguments of .Mr. WALLACE for re
ducing the Duty on Foreign Timber. It points
out the ruinous consequences not only to the Co-
lonist
and. Shipowner, but also to the general in=
terests, commercial. and political, of the Em-
pire, and shews that it will not even have
the effect of satisfying the Northern Powers,
who will still be clamorous for the admission ..of '
their Linens and Corn. The Committee.agreed'
to:Mr. WALLaces Resolutions pro forma, and
thej itre'to be,repiitted this eveiaiog, so that they
