FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.'

THE AFFAIRS OF NAPLES.

We have received from Naples the Gninzaie
Costetuzionale of the 11th and loth ultimo, from
whiCh we translate the following'Message

NAI:LESt Dre.-11, t820;411:
FERDINAND I, by the grace of God, &c. c.

To my Faithful Deputies of the Parliament.

Your decision of the date of the SO instant,-hears, among
other'things, that the Parliament has not the faculty of con-
sent ;Olt. to toy departure, if not in so far as it should he di-
rected to support the Constitution of Spain, which has been
sworn to in common.

With respect to that I .drciare, that my intervention at the
Congress of Laybactt has no other object than that to support-
the Constittitioo of Spain sworn to it. commOn, and our so-

ci.►l compact, and to according to the manifestations
;mole to me by you with the Message of the 9th inst., that,

st•.ch is the decided .aitti unanimous o ill of my people. If toy
Message of the 7th instant has received auy other iuterpreta-
ti,m, I think I have removed every thing equivocal by my
other Mes'sage of the Bth. •

According to that, my tirelaratton, I desire that the Parlia-

.•
nient may decide, in positive terms, if it assent to nip intrr-

crntieti► the COtigreis I,ai•bach, to thi• end to sustain the

getteial wilt a the nation liy the Constitution which has, hey!!
adopted, and at the same time to remove the threats of war.
In case of the affirmative, I desire that the Parliament will

chew it by the confirmatio►► of the Vicar-Generalship in the
person of my most beloved son, the Duke of the (:;alalnias,

proposed to it by ine.

The Parliament, placing in rise a confitleik.e Which, by•the
favour of God,- I will justify, has not thought it necessary to
select four persons to accompany roe. Ott that point I oboist
say, that 1 did and (lo still desire such au accompaniment,
because I have lifted and do like to profit by their information.
If, after this explanation, the Parliament should tloink such• a

neasure necessary, 1 cannot he otherwise than contait with
t. Ido not, however, intend to exact it as a Condition of my

intervention at the Congress.
And finally, on the reflection that the Sovereigns as►cmblei
at La3lich expect tt speedy answer, I desire that the Paella
went will speedily decide on the affairs set forth abovt..

[PRIVATE LETTER.]
•
NAPLES, DEC. told you, my dear Sir, the indignation
of the people was roused at the King'-s Message to Parliament
of the 9th. You will perceive that the Ministry was changed
by a Decree of the 10th, which I enclose to yon.
The Parliament voted an Address to the King to-day, which
is to he presented by a Depntation of 18 of the'Deputies, sane-
tinning his Majesty's departure fur the Congress at Layhach,
since he swears to have no other motive than to maintain the
present Constitution. The Duke of Calabria, the Vicar-Gene-.
ral, -is named Ilegt;nt while his Majesty is absent ; and
with respect to his Majesty's desire to have four Members of
Parliament to accompany him to the Congr*ss, the address
assures the King of the implicit faith of the Parliament in
the King's oath to deft ted the Spanish Constitution here esta-
blished, and declines sending any persons with his Majesty
as advisers.

Ms Majesty goesiowards the end of the week, and, I am
old, will go by sea as far as Leghorn. The. Capra, a Neapo-
tan fligate;will be equipped to-morrow, and one of the Bri-
ish frigates (the Vengeur is named) will convoy.
The Committee appointed to investigate the charges pre-

ferred_by the Parliament against the Ministers,.whoadvised
so.unconstitutional a• measure as the. Address of the Bth,
made its Report to-tiny. The Duke of Cain Chiaro and
Count Zurlo are.considered guilty, but the others are not so
in the opinion of the Comioittee; however, a further discus-
sion is to take place ou Friday,
The Duke de was•to have accompanied the King to
Laybach, but as he is named Minister, Of course be will nut

ow go,

We are told that Lord Stewart and Prince Metternich fought
a dne.l on the el st of last month; at least that aehaf:enge was
scot to the latter on the 201 h ; but-you will hnow.

arrived

NAPLES, DEC. 10.-- Ciectniisiancs have as-
sumed so serious a character, that our public pa-
pers have at length obtained permission to break

silence. The Minister of Foreign Affairs came
down to the Parliament On the .ith inst., charged
with a Commission from the. King. He stated,
that the Ministers of Russia, Prussia, and hug-
land,, and the Charg6s d'Affaires of France and
AustAti, had required to be introduced 'to his
Majest3.*o present,to him alitograph lettefs freT
the two Emperors tiKiNhe Prussi4.
Majesty having consented to receive these diffe-
rentioreign Ministers, they had the honour to
deliver to him three letters, all literally similar,
'and written in the French language.
[Here -follow transcripts •of the letters ad-
dressed by the Emperors of Austria and Russia,
and the King of Prussia, to the King of Naples,
and the Message of the latter to the Parliament,
which were published in THE SUN of Saturday.]
These last having been read, the Minister re-
quired an answer, and the Parliament declared,
that the King's Message should be printed, and
distributed to each of' its Members, and that on
the following day, the Assembly should deli-
berate upon the reply which ought to be given:
The public, by acclamations, indicated, that
theyap' proved Of the resolution of the Parliament;
and afterwards sheaved in the most unequivocal
manner, how much it would displease them to
see the King leave Naples, and to hear him speak
of any other Constitution than that of Spain, the
nation. being ready to. make every sacrifice to ob-
tain it. Honour to the worthy conduct of the
Parliament r

NAPLES, DEc. 11.—The Minister of the Inte-
rior has addressed, since the 7th, a circular to all
the Governors of provinces, announcing the de-.
parture.of the King for Laybach. " The wish'
of all the, Allied Powers," it is. 'observed in this
circular, " being, that order and confidence
should remain the predominant sentiments in-the
• heart of- every Neapolitan, you will exert all
your efforts to attain this object, on which de-
pends the welfare ,of the country. His Royal
Highness has commanded me to declare,. that
you shall be responsible for the consequences of
any indecisive conduct, calculated to endanger
the State." • .
DEC. 12.—M. Borelli, Member of Parliament,
communicated upon what conditions we had ob-
tained, the mediation of a Great Power, viz. the
creation of a Chamber of Peers ; the abolition of
the permanent deputation of Parliament ; the
Council of State to be norninated by the King ;
the absolute Veto ; the initiative of -the Budget,
anti of the LaWs by the'Crowu and the Prero-
gative of dissolving Parliament.
NAPLES, DEC. 13.—We are in a momentous
crisis; the-departure of the King has given- rise'
to the greatest possible agitation. This evening
the populace are assembled in tumultuous groups
in the Rue de-Toledo, and in the public squares.
Two Proclamations have been issued, which ap-
pear to have had the effect of producing a little
calm. The King embarked this afternoon, at
five o'clock, on board the English ship Vengeur.
The Duchess of Berri French frigate, and an
English frigate, accompany his Majesty, who
will disembark at Leghorn. Amongst the per-
sonages.in the King's suite (in number 48) are
the Duchess de Florida ; the Prince de Viscenti;
the Marquess Ruffo, Minister of the Royal
Ifouse ; the Prince de Buoti, Captain of the
Guard ; Prince de Buttera, Gentleman of the
Chamber; and Father Porta, the King's Con-
fessor.

LEGHORN, DEC. 18.—The three ships, having
On board the King of Naples and his suite, are
now signaled as in sight.—Every thing is prepar-
ing for the reception of the august Monarch, w ho
will however depart without delay for Florence.
It is his intention to cross the Alps as soon as
possible. It is presumed that the Duke de Gallo
will accompany his Majesty to Laybach. We
learn, by letters from Naples, that the people
witnessed their Sovereign's departure with deep
emotion ; cries of " Long live the King!" re-
sounded generally, until the moment the Ven-
geur sailed.

-•
FLORENCE, DEC. 19.—We have received a dis-
patch from Leghorn, announcing that the squa-
dron, with the King of Naples and suite, is off
that port. Preparations are making here for the
reception of the august traveller. No disorder
has occurred in Naples. The Parliament ab-
ruptly broke off its deliberations on the modifi-
cations of the Spanish Constitution, in order to
present it for the King's sanction, previously to
his departure. It is not known whether his Ma-
jesty did sanction it, but it is little probable.

SPANISH PAPERS.
MADRID, DEC.' 14.—An • order was given
within these few days as we are assured, not to
allow groups of persons to assemble on the steps
of the Palace when his Majesty .went in or out.
It seems that some cries Or exclamations, which
might give occasion to similar comments, have
induced the adoption of this measure.
• CADIZ, DEC. 8.--The Municipality of this
city has addressed 'a
-representation' to the King;
of which the following are some passages
" SME,—The Constitutional Municipality of this city, in
the midst of the serious occupations which 'sort-mind it, and
call its attention to attain the important ends.which the laws
prescrihi, finds itself tinder the indispensable necessity of
approaching your Majesty penetrated with the most profound.
grief, and soliciting justice.

" Cadiz has been itself within these few days in danger of
losing the tranquillity.which it happily enjoys; and but for
the confidence which the people have in their authorities,
and the energy which the latter displayed at the same time
that they heard their complaints, and ende;xvoured to calm
them, the disorders and convulsions would have been inevi-
table which attended popular tumults. One unanimous voice
resounded from all sides soliciting justice; and the Munici-
palitycannot and must not decline to clai►n it, when so many
circumstances combined, call the public attention, excite in-
dignation, and endanger public security. The people cannot
bear that, contrary to the express dispensations of your Ma-
jesty, the public offices should be filled by men ill affected to
the -Constitutional system ; they are. scandalized at knowing
that several, Ecclesiastics labour ;actively and deliberately to
discredit our institutions, and to introduce division and dis-
cord : and they behold, in short, with terror, the impunity of
crimes, and its fatal influence on manners. The robberies

and assassinations teddy committed aft-light: the good ; and in

vain the authorities charged with the police endeavour to
fulfil their office, hy pursuing and apprehending delinquents
in vain the national militia assists them, and zea louslyreon-
tribute to atcomplish their intentions, sine scarcely ar. ths
guilty arrested, when they arc themselves liaiti'sat liberty

agents, to entourage thevithizal,• and to demoralize the

people.

" This pietui'e which the Municipality present to the eyes
of your Majesty, is tint the work of imagination heated in the
agitation of the passions ; it it unhappily drawn by truth and
founded in justice. Whateeer be the origin of such serious
evils, whether they proceed from defects in the criminal legis
cation, from weakness in thy Judges, or front prevarication in
the Courts, it is certain that they exist, that the people know
them, and that the Municipality would be wanting in its duty
it it did not expose them to the Government, and energeti-
cally call for justice. •

If such a sensation is excited by the indolence dud apathy
of the tribunal, it is easy to imagine that which must be pra,
duced by the affair of the lOth of Match. The profound and
painful impression which•that fatal day produced, on a peo—
ple equally loyal and innocent, is not easily effaced ; nur cap
the'sti'ihing• delay, which• is observable in a process of-this

',Unity, and the continued efloris of the ill-disposed. Cadiz
will never forget the blood of its 'sons, cruelly.shed. nue

scene. If its grief was in some degree tnitigated iu sceing
the lireiy interest which its unhappy fate excited in your

Nfrifesty, 'and in all good Simiiiards hi.both hemispheres; if
its tears could he alleviated liy't he frlitt'nal consolation, and.

cat seeing the inexorlible sword of the Lawi, at the initance
of your Majesty, and all Spain, ready to strilte the vile as;as-
sins, also resulted in its bitter sufferitigs, becao,,re it 'hoped a
speedy and condign satisfaction for its
,injuries, ivith the re,
gard due to its -true.patriotism, and its love of the c_:onstit
lion. Unhappily sonic months have passed, and notwithstand-
ing the importance of the cause, and the 'satisfaction' due
to public justice, and the general-indignation- inspired by

stich•a crime, even the preliminary consept etices are not yet

" The.Municipality,obserre, that thongl► the Magistrate%
may perhaps persuade themselves the delay is.cliiefiy caused
by the number of person; implicated, and the multitude of
depositions, yet the people cannot he expected to be consi-
derate, especially:when they reflect on the sniumaq manner
in which persons were formerly expelled fiaim Cadiz and
banished to Ceuta,, without any trial whatever. The

pality, after slime further just and forcible observations, con-
elute by imploring the serious attention of his Majesty to the
facts which arc here laid before him."

SOLE A 1 QUIS DICERE FALSUM JUDE.IT ?

LONDON,
THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1821.

The chief object of attention on the Continent
.at present is, the impending fate-of Naples. it
seems evident that the prevailing party in that
Kingdom are not without alarm, notwithstanding
the spirit which they appear to assume, and de-
clared confidence in the measures which they have
adopted for the security. and independence of
the Country. This inference seems deducible
from the praise which they so lavishly bestow
on the Allied Monarchs, and on the purity of
their intentions. It can hardly be, expect-
ed that much advantage will result from
making the King of NAPLES a party in the
consultations at Troppau, as he never was dis-
tinguished for intellectual capacity, and his
life has been chiefly
,employed in the pursuit of
pleasure. It seems therefore to have been the
chief purpose of the Sovereigns to rescue him
from danger, in case they should ultimately de-
termine to enter the Kingdom in order to crush
the Revolution. Now, howeVer, that the KING
is in safety, important, events may be expected,
which will soon decide the question one way
or other.

No French Pai)ers had arrived, when. our Pa-

per was put to Press.

No less t'tan oMails-arrived from Ireland
this day:at the General Post'.Office, 'viz. 4 from
Dublin, 8 froth' Waterford, and 8 from Don..
naghadee. Th s unprecedented circumstance
has arisen from the prevalence of the gales from
the eastward, whieli- has prevented the Packets
with the Mails on board -putting to sea with any
prOspect, of effecting their passage- across the
channel. At Donnaghadee. the wind from E. to
E. S. E. blew with a violence unequalled since
December 1798. At Waterford also the gales
have been universally strong; and the Packets
were twice driven to that harbour, and the
Camden Packet, which ,sailed from Milford for
Waterford on the 26th ult. encountered a very
severe gale, in which her boom' and gaff were car-
ried away, and she was obliged to bear up for
Cork.
