strian Government,at the time when thisßevOlu-'
tiott broke forth. And befot'e it became them to
issue a remonstrance to that Power in favour
of the new Constitution, they were bound to
take their relative situations into their immediate
view. Much was said about the intention of
Austria to put down the small States of Italy.
Now he never heard Honourable Gentlemen
opposite make any of these complaints when
the Great Napoleon was overrunning Genoa and
the other small States.-,--(Loud cheering.)—All
that could then be got from them of the justice
of-such proceedings never extended beyond a
monosyllable.—(Cheers.)—The aim of the Car-
bonari was now openly declared to be the throw-
ing Italy into one State.—They were no longer
a Neapolitan sect; they were now more properly
to be called a European sect. In Naples, they
had arrived at that state, -that disguise was no
longer considered necessary. They openly
intimidated the Parliament, and, in fact, go-
verned the Country by force; undisguisedly
avowing their object to be not so much a revolu-
tion in the Government of Naples, as' to
drive the Austrian power out of Italy. He would
appeal to an lion, and Gallant Member op-
posite (Sir IL Wilson), who was acquainted with
their movements, whether this was not the case ?
The Hon. and Learned Gentleman could• not
conceive that it was the duty of an Austrian Mi-
nister to attend to his moral philosophy, instead
of looking after the welfare of his master's domi-
nions. While these sects were harbouring the
wild- theories of consolidating Italy into one state,
under whom, or under what head they did not
themselves know, was it then that Austria
should allow the bead quarters of the band
to be established in Naples ? If he was the
Austrian Minister he should think twice before
he allowed the establishment of such a sect
in his immediate neighbourhood without trying
to shake their power when they had avowed
their intention of subverting his. With re-
gard to any views which Austria might have
upon the .South of Italy, the jealousy of the
other powers of Europe would never allow her to
form any permanent establishment in that quar-
ter. 'The Noble Lord then took a brief view of
the Revolution, and of the manner in which the
Constitution had been forced upon the King
He asked if .any one could be surprised at this
GOvernment holding back under such circum-
stances, and not being disposed, like the Hon.
and Learned Member, to rush into the arms of
this Carbonari Government! He was convinced
that the sense of the country would have repro-
bated such a course. And it was not the eloquent
appeals of the lion. and Learned Gentleman,and
his friends around him, which would attract
from a sound and discretionary view of this
important subject, the minds of the people.—
They bad always risen triumphant from every
endeavour to mislead them, and he doubted
not but that the present effort would be made
in vain.—(Loud Cheering.)—His Lordship_ then
remarked upon the battles fought in Sicily,
and the faithless conduct of the. Neapolitan
Parliament in annulling the treaties entered
into with the Palermitans by General Pepe,after
the inhabitants had been disarmed. If. the House
was of opinion that there had been no ground
for. further interference on the part of this -
Government, it would 'be satisfied that there
was no occasion for the' prodnction of the papers
called for by the Honourable and Learned Mover.
He could not now produce those papers con-
sistently with his duty, and with the policy
of the Government ; but the time would come
when he should he at liberty to afford every ex-
planation to the House, and he should not then
shrink from the most minute exposition of that
line of conduct, which his Majesty's Ministers had
deemed it right to pursue. For the reasons he
had stated,. he called upon the House to put a
direct negative upon the motion. (Hear, hear!)

S:r ROBERT WILSON entered into the nature of the sub-
ject at some length. Fe condemned the general policy of
the Allied Sovereigns; entered into an examination of their
pretensions to interfere with the concerns of such a Power as
NOles, under the circumstances she was now placed in, and
contended-that it was the ditty of this cot-intry to do all in its
power, by remonstrance, to prevent hostilities on the part of
Austria, In adverting to what he described as the impolitic
conduct of Great Britain, the Gallant General said, that for
the•honour of the country and the repoiatiou of its Adminis-
tration, be wished to bare 'an answer -to this question,—
Whether or not did a British Agent mist at the tragedy of
the dent!' of the Ring of Naples in ISIG; whether did be or
not assist at the military trial and military execution of that
Sovereign ?"

Lord CASTLEREAGH promptly rose, and said he could'
assure the Gallant General that he never heard of the circum-
stance before.—(A. laugh.) •
-
Sir R. li'ILSON said be had asked the question. zberause
be was jealous of the character of the British Nation ; know-
ing, as he did, that the imputation came from authority in
which he reposed much -confidence. ,The Gallant General •
pros-ceded to enforce his ?pinion upon ;the general question,
by the introduction of a variety of arguthents and illustra-
7tion3, and concluded by saying, that only let the Neapolitans
make Jesistancc in Ilwir power against their aggres.
sort—only let them show their resolution, and that the tlamt
of tilwitv had not animated coward souls—only let them show
This, and they would be aided by the free and the brave of
every country ; and that though their struggle might tenni-
...
Wile in theii defeat, still their example would he enough to
-render the triotryli of a partial-compiest on the part of their-
despotic foes ultimately of little adeantage.---Cheers.)
WILBERFORCE stated distinctly, that he entertained
the strongtstobjectiofislo the uncanditionai maintenance of
the• monarchical principle." lie could nut avoid viewing
with jealousy the circumstance of the Powers of Europe de-
liherately announcing their expectation of the co-operation of
this country in their- policy against Naples. It might be
true, that no particular Power entertained designs of terri-
torial aggrandizement, yet he believed they would have no
objection to a slice. If such principles as those upon which
they seemed to act were allowed.to opera,te without controul,
the liberties of England were not safe.—(Hear !)—Nor could
true liberty, true philoiophy, nor true religion flourish unless
mankind were. allowed to express their dissent from such a
principle. He thought that the trite security of this country
must lie, in not only watchfully using thu most rigid economy,
but by a timely application to the relief of the people, by.en•
•deavouring to take off a share of their burdens, and by culti
rating their affections.,, In this way only could we expect, to
be a great and happy nation, and to retain that high rank -
amongst the nations .0 which we were so-mach entitled." -

Colonel .DAVIES defended the Neapolitans. against the
'clirge of elideasiuting to draw the Subjects of other States
ftom their allegiance; The inhabitants of Ponte Corso sent
Peputies at. thecommeneement of the revolution with a de-
Sire to become paities; but the Neapolitans. so far from

them to the. Pope, aed induced them to return to their elle.-
