Naples, is the theatre of continued political
rttatien ; and the municipality,of Madrid are, elo;ely copy,
ir,g.tbe part which was played by the municipality. of Paris in.
t t,eginning of the French Revolution. It t 9 easy to con-
ceive-that in these-municipalboilies, at a period like the pre-
scA, men possessing no recommendation but their audacity
will force their way into office, aod if such persons are per-
.vaittO 'to dictate to their Sovereign, there- is an end of all
just legal authority. Yet these are the countries which were
lately held out to our envy and imitation, as having preceded
A.l in the glorious path of. Revolution I

'P le audacity with which the '‘ Misleading Journal" per-
evcres in insulting and nieknamiag all the loyal part of the
connounity is truly astonishing. Whatever might Lave been
thought some weeks ago, when the Addresses had but just

begun, it is now manifest that they comptise nineteen.
twentieths of the rank and respectability of the country.—
We may appeal ,to the Aberdeenshire Meeting, where
the Address was not only supported by the large majo-
rity which we before stated, but the approbation of
39 other Noblemen and Gentlemen Who could nut attend was
expressed bf,letter or verbal message. In short, the Throne
has been addressed in terms of affectionate loyalty and attach-
ment by almost every great body in the Kingdom, except that
body which used to he foremost on such occasions—we mean
the Merchants, I.lao'aers, and Traders of LoMion. It is well
known that most of these Gentlemen hare for some weeks
past been anxious to express their sentiments of attachment
to the King a nit Constitution, and their abhorrence of the
lraiturous efforts of a revolutionary Press ; but there arc one
or tWo individuals whom it has been a sort of fashion to con-
sult ern Iliese occasions, and who have rather unaccountable
hung back. Hence it happens that the Merchants and
jlaukers find themselves almost distanced io the race of
loyalty : however, it is to be hoped that they will remember
the -old adage, " better late than never."—(Mitt.) ,

The consent even by the Neapolitan Parliament to the de-
t me of the king from Naples to meet the Allies at Laybach
is graoted upon their part, and accepted by Isis Majesty, upon
`the sole condition that the event shall be directed to • sns-
tail; the Spanish Constitutia4.- However we may admire
the firmness that prompts the Parliament of Naples to
resist any enceaachments upon their national independence,
we are sorry te, perceive at a moment of so much interest to
tie Sovereign, and his people, any symptoms of distrust and
jealousy evinces! towards the' King by his Parliament, which
we .do not t bink are merited by his Majesty's co,mluet. The
Deputies undoubtedly are wise in passing resolutions to
the effect of chewing to foreign Powees their determina-
Ilya not to accept any modifications of their Constitu-
tion which may he proposed by the Allies, unless they
arc, should meet their own approval with reference to
the ititeroal economy of the State; but the poor old King,
at rue!, a 'conjuncture., ought to obtain the anxious sympathy
and pity of his people, tattier than be exposed to wOnittling
doulas of his sincerity and zeal hi the cause of the Constitu-
'Veen. The displeasure of the Parliament seems, however, to
igeve made a strong impression upOn the Cabinet Ministers,
six or whom resigned their Offices immediately after the de- •
Earture of the King; their places have been supplied ad
Interim by other persims of ,listinction, among whom we
find the Duise de Gallo.' stilt, is appointed Minister for Fo-
reign Affairs mid for the -Marine. This Nobleman will be re-
po-inhered as the Ambassador Extrioritinary sent from the
Court of Naples to that of Vienna, but who Was prevented by
the rude policy of the Austrian Cabinet fermi passing the fron-
tier; of their empire.--The departure of the King did not pass
unnoticed by the great body of the inhabitants of Naples,
z aiong whom the event seems to have excited a considerable
siegree of agitation. They are said to have deeply felt the
insult offered to "their country by this requisition of the Al-
lied Sovereigns, hearing so much the character of a command,
that the King of Naples should attend at their tribunal to
VtCl:e his own and his people's conduct. It is stated that the
pea rte assembled on the nig:it after the King's departure in
taneultuout grouires in the public pl,ces, and that two
Proclamations were issued to tranquillize the public mind.
The people evidently seesse to think themselves betray-
hut from the • intensity' of their feelings on • this
P., int and the energy which they appear to manifest when
Vie independence of their country is concerned, we augur
srost layout ably for the future interests of their country.
the grr at tinily of the people once be brought to feel a
ere and lively interest in the honour of their country, the
wort; of their security would he already achieved. A Cabinet
sioly be corrupted or deceived, s Sovereign may. he insulted,
ism! suffer the delicacy of his nrivate feelire:s and personal
isoinur to he wounded, a nation may he 'omitted and exposed
the hitter-nets of vindictive hostilities, tut if a people be
Artie to themselves, they never eats be conquered. •
